Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated turning machine technology, specifically an automated turning machine for filter production. Background Technology

[0002] A filter is an accessory that uses filter paper to filter impurities or gases. It generally refers to automotive filters, which are engine accessories. According to different filtration functions, they are divided into: oil filters, fuel filters, air filters, and cabin air filters, etc. Engines have three types of filters: air, oil, and fuel, which are generally called "three filters". They are responsible for filtering the media in the lubrication system, combustion system, engine intake system, and passenger air circulation system, respectively.

[0003] However, existing filter manufacturing processes often suffer from the following problems in their flipping operations: First, insufficient automation, with most flipping being done manually, leading to low efficiency, high labor intensity, and susceptibility to human error that can affect the installation accuracy of subsequent components and product quality; second, limited clamping methods, often employing rigid clamping mechanisms that can easily damage the cleaning cartridge shell. Therefore, this invention aims to solve these problems by providing an automated flipping machine for filter manufacturing that enables precise and automated flipping of the cleaning cartridge, reduces manual intervention, and provides flexible protection for the workpiece. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated turning machine for filter production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated turning machine for filter production, comprising a base and a support plate, wherein the support plate is installed on both sides above the base, and a processing device is installed on the outer side of the support plate;

[0006] The processing device includes a rotating device and a clamping device. The rotating device is installed between the two support plates on both sides. The clamping device is installed on the left side of the rotating device. The clamping device includes a first storage box, a clamping plate, and a sponge. The first storage box is installed on the outside of the rotating device. Two clamping plates are provided on the left side of the first storage box. The inner wall of the clamping plate is lined with sponge. The second storage box is provided on the left side of the clamping plate. Both the first storage box and the second storage box have storage slots inside.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping device further includes a bidirectional threaded rod and a second bearing. The storage groove has a bidirectional threaded rod on its inner side. The lower part of the bidirectional threaded rod is connected to the inner wall of the storage groove through the second bearing. A second servo motor is installed above the storage groove. Threaded blocks are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod. Connecting blocks are installed on the outer side of the threaded blocks. The connecting blocks pass through the slide groove and are connected to both sides of the clamping plate. Two support columns are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the second storage box.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating device includes a fixed column, a first bearing, and a first servo motor. Support plates are installed on both sides above the base, and a fixed column is provided between the two support plates. The lower part of the fixed column is connected to the lower support plate through the first bearing, and the upper part of the fixed column passes through the upper support plate and is connected to the first servo motor. The first storage box is installed on the outer wall of the fixed column.

[0009] Preferably, the middle position of the base, the middle position of the support plate, and the fixing column are on the same horizontal line.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed column is rotatably connected to the first bearing, and the fixed column is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing column is fixedly connected to the first storage box, and the first storage box, the clamping plate and the second storage box are on the same horizontal line.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] By setting up a first storage box, clamping plates, and a sponge, the cleaning tube is placed between two clamping plates. The second servo motor is started, driving the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. Through bidirectional thread transmission, the threaded blocks on both sides move smoothly towards each other. The threaded blocks slide precisely along the slide groove through the connecting block to avoid workpiece skewing. This pushes the clamping plates to move closer together in parallel. While using the flexible inner sponge to protect the outer shell of the cleaning tube, it achieves precise clamping and is also suitable for workpieces of different sizes.

[0018] Subsequently, the first servo motor starts, driving the fixed column to rotate precisely around the first bearing. The fixed column drives the first storage box and clamping device to rotate stably as a whole. The workpiece does not shake during the flipping, ensuring processing accuracy and realizing the automated flipping of the cleaning cylinder.

[0019] After being flipped to the designated angle, it facilitates the installation of the cleaning cylinder on both the top and bottom sides without the need for manual flipping, reducing labor intensity, minimizing process changeover time, and improving production efficiency.

The inner walls of the clamping plates 402 are curved, and the inner walls of the clamping plates 402 are equipped with... Sponge 403 is made of high-density, high-elasticity rubber material. Its shape fits tightly against the inner wall of the arc edge of clamping plate 402 and is fixed with glue. When clamping cleaning cylinder 5, sponge 403 can provide flexible protection to prevent the outer shell of cleaning cylinder 5 from being crushed or scratched by hard contact. At the same time, it increases friction to ensure the stability of clamping. A second storage box 404 is provided on the left side of clamping plate 402. Both the first storage box 401 and the second storage box 404 are provided with storage slots 405.

[0031] The clamping device 4 also includes a bidirectional threaded rod 406 and a second bearing 407. The bidirectional threaded rod 406 is provided on the inner side of the storage tank 405. The lower part of the bidirectional threaded rod 406 is connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 405 through the second bearing 407. A second servo motor 408 is installed on the upper part of the storage tank 405. Threaded blocks 409 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 406. Connecting blocks 410 are installed on the outer side of the threaded blocks 409. The connecting blocks 410 pass through the slide groove 411 and are connected to both sides of the clamping plate 402. Two support columns 412 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the second storage box 404.

[0032] The rotating device 3 includes a fixed column 301, a first bearing 302 and a first servo motor 303. Support plates 2 are installed on both sides above the base 1. The fixed column 301 is provided between the two support plates 2. The lower part of the fixed column 301 is connected to the lower support plate 2 through the first bearing 302. The upper part of the fixed column 301 passes through the upper support plate 2 and is connected to the first servo motor 303. The first storage box 401 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed column 301.

[0033] The middle position of the base 1, the middle position of the support plate 2, and the fixing column 301 are on the same horizontal line.

The protective pad 413 is an elastic shock-absorbing material, which is set at the bottom of the support column 412 to absorb the impact force when the clamping device 4 is dropped or placed, protect the base 1 and internal components, and reduce noise.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] First, the cleaning cylinder 5 is placed between the two clamping plates 402. The second servo motor 408 is started, driving the bidirectional threaded rod 406 to rotate. Through the bidirectional threaded transmission, the threaded blocks 409 on both sides move smoothly towards each other. The threaded blocks 409 slide precisely along the slide groove 411 through the connecting block 410 to avoid workpiece skewing. This pushes the clamping plates 402 to move closer together in parallel. While using the flexible inner sponge 403 to protect the outer shell of the cleaning cylinder 5, it achieves precise clamping and is also suitable for workpieces of different sizes.

[0041] Subsequently, the first servo motor 303 starts, driving the fixed column 301 to rotate precisely around the first bearing 302. The fixed column 301 drives the first storage box 401 and the clamping device 4 to rotate stably as a whole. The workpiece does not shake when flipping, ensuring processing accuracy and realizing the automated flipping of the cleaning cylinder 5.

[0042] After being flipped to the designated angle, it facilitates the installation of the upper and lower sides of the cleaning cylinder 5 without the need for manual flipping, reducing labor intensity, minimizing process changeover time, and improving production efficiency.
