Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drying processing line, and more particularly to a workpiece drying hanging gripper. Background Technology

[0002] The description in this section provides only background information related to the disclosure of this utility model and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] There is a need to process an automotive component using a processing line. The processing line includes steps for soaking and drying the workpiece. On the drying line, the workpiece is suspended on a movable guide rail by grippers. The movable guide rail drives the grippers to move, and a hot air blower on one side of the drying line dries the suspended workpiece.

[0004] In this process, due to cost considerations, the workpiece can generally only be dried by a hot air blower on one side of the drying line when the grippers are moving. This is limited by the angle and the drying effect. Alternatively, a rotary motor can be used to rotate the grippers, but this is extremely costly and increases maintenance difficulty.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solutions of this utility model and facilitating understanding by those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that these technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because they have been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a workpiece drying hanging gripper that can achieve stable rotation by setting a rotatable rotating mechanism on the hanging gripper and cooperating with a fixed guide rail, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the suspended workpiece.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a workpiece drying suspension gripper for suspending on a movable guide rail, wherein one side of the movable guide rail has a parallel fixed guide rail, and the workpiece drying suspension gripper includes:

[0008] A fixed rod having a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, the first end of the fixed rod being fixedly connected to the movable guide rail;

[0009] A rotating mechanism includes a fixed part and a rotating part. The first end of the fixed part is fixedly connected to the second end of the fixed rod, and the second end of the fixed part is rotatably connected to the rotating part. The rotating part protrudes radially outward and abuts against the fixed guide rail, so that when the movable guide rail drives the suspension gripper to move, the rotating part and the fixed guide rail experience rolling friction, thereby causing the rotating part to rotate.

[0010] A connecting hook is fixedly connected to the rotating part of the rotating mechanism, and the connecting hook is used to hook up the workpiece.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the rotating part of the rotating mechanism is provided with an annular structure, and the outer wall of the annular structure is used to abut against the fixed guide rail.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the cross-section at the outer edge of the annular structure is set to be arc-shaped.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, the connecting hook is configured as a U-shape, and the workpiece is hooked to both ends of the U-shape.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, each end of the U-shape is provided with a barb, and the workpiece is used to be hooked between the two barbs.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, the size of the end opening of the U-shape with barbs is smaller than the size of the internal opening of the U-shape.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the first end of the fixed rod is provided with a hanging groove, which is used to hook onto the movable guide rail.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution, the hanging groove is inclined from the opening of the hanging groove toward the first end in the direction of the first end.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model relates to a workpiece drying hanging gripper. A rotatable rotating mechanism is incorporated into the gripper, and its stable rotation, achieved in conjunction with a fixed guide rail, improves the drying efficiency of the suspended workpiece. Specifically, as the movable guide rail drives the gripper's movement, the rotating part of the rotating mechanism, in contact with the fixed guide rail, experiences rolling friction. This causes the connecting hook at the bottom to rotate, thus rotating the workpiece. This allows for full-angle drying during rotation, significantly improving the drying degree and resulting in superior processing efficiency.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a workpiece drying suspension gripper for suspending on a movable guide rail. One side of the movable guide rail has a parallel fixed guide rail. The workpiece drying suspension gripper includes:

[0034] Fixed rod 1, the fixed rod 1 having a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other, the first end of the fixed rod 1 being fixedly connected to the movable guide rail;

[0035] The rotating mechanism 2 includes a fixed part 21 and a rotating part 22. The first end of the fixed part 21 is fixedly connected to the second end of the fixed rod 1, and the second end of the fixed part 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 22. The rotating part 22 protrudes radially outward and abuts against the fixed guide rail, so that when the movable guide rail drives the suspension gripper to move, the rotating part 22 and the fixed guide rail undergo rolling friction, thereby driving the rotating part to rotate.

[0036] The connecting hook 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 22 of the rotating mechanism 2, and the connecting hook 3 is used to hook the workpiece 100.

[0037] Based on the above structure, it is mainly divided into three parts. The fixed rod 1 serves as the basic connecting component and needs to be connected to the corresponding hook-like component on the movable guide rail during installation. This allows the moving force of the movable guide rail to be transmitted to the entire workpiece drying and hanging gripper via the fixed rod 1. The rotating mechanism 2, as the main functional component for rotation, has a fixed part 21 as the static part, connected to the rotating part 22 as the dynamic part. The connecting hook 3, as the third part, mainly functions as the traditional suspension of the workpiece 100. It can move in tandem with the rotating part 22 and can be considered as an extension of the end of the rotating part 22.

[0038] The fixing rod 1 can be made of pressed iron sheets, and a corresponding hanging groove 11 or other opening can be provided on its top as a connection point to the movable guide rail. In some embodiments, it can also be directly connected to the corresponding point on the movable guide rail by means of threaded connection, adhesive, welding or other methods.

[0039] The rotating mechanism 2 can be configured as two parts connected by a movable shaft, which can rotate horizontally and around the axis.

[0040] In this embodiment, the connecting hook 3 can have the same structure as a traditional hook, but the difference is that it can rotate under the coordinated action of the rotating mechanism 2 and the fixed guide rail.

[0041] During use, the movable guide rail drives the fixed rod 1 to run, the fixed rod 1 drives the fixed part 21 to run, and since the rotating part 22 leans against one end of the fixed guide rail, the rotating part 22 is displaced relative to the fixed guide rail. Under the action of rolling friction, the rotating part 22 rotates around the fixed part 21, and finally drives the connecting hook 3 to rotate the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 can be dried by hot air 360 degrees.

[0042] In the above embodiment, a rotatable rotating mechanism 2 can be provided on the hanging gripper. Stable rotation can be achieved through its cooperation with the fixed guide rail, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the suspended workpiece 100. Specifically, during the movement of the hanging gripper driven by the movable guide rail, the rotating part 22 of the rotating mechanism 2 is in contact with the fixed guide rail on one side. This causes rolling friction between the rotating part 22 and the fixed guide rail, resulting in the rotation of the connecting hook 3 at its bottom. This rotation drives the workpiece 100 to rotate, achieving full-angle drying during the rotation process, significantly improving the drying degree and resulting in better processing efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, the rotating part 22 of the rotating mechanism is provided with an annular structure, the outer wall of which is used to abut against the fixed guide rail. The cross-section at the outer edge of the annular structure is arc-shaped. Figure 1 As shown, the rotating part 22 can be approximated as a tire-shaped structure, and its movement relationship with the fixed guide rail is similar to the rolling friction between a tire and the bottom surface, resulting in relatively stable operation. Its material can be set to a high-friction material such as rubber to meet the anti-slip requirements.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The connecting hook 3 is U-shaped, and the workpiece 100 is hooked to both ends of the U-shape. Each end of the U-shape has a barb 31, and the workpiece 100 is hooked between the two barbs 31. The opening size at the end of the U-shape with the barbs 31 is smaller than the internal opening size of the U-shape. Specifically, when it is necessary to suspend the workpiece 100, the horizontally extending roller at the top of the workpiece 100 for suspension can be inserted along the larger opening of the U-shape, then lowered and placed against the top surface of the barbs 31, thus placing the workpiece 100. The two barbs 31 provide better stability for the workpiece 100, preventing it from detaching from the barbs 31 during rotation. Of course, in other embodiments, the workpieces 100 can be mounted on the connecting hook 3 in a placement manner. The U-shaped structure with barbs 31 in the above embodiment is mainly characterized by its small size, low cost, and ease of rotation.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first end of the fixing rod 1 has a hanging groove 11, which is used to hook onto the movable guide rail. The hanging groove 11 is inclined from its opening toward the first end. In this embodiment, a corresponding transverse roller is provided on the movable guide rail. The roller can be inserted vertically and installed in the hanging groove 11 of the fixing rod 1 to fix the fixing rod 1, thereby preventing unnecessary rotation of the fixing rod 1 and causing it to loosen, thus ensuring high stability.

[0046] The above-disclosed content is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings are included in the scope of the patent application of the present utility model.

[0047] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0048] Although this application has been described by way of examples, those skilled in the art will know that this application has many modifications and variations without departing from the spirit of this application, and it is intended that the appended embodiments include these modifications and variations without departing from this application.
