Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flipping tooling technology, specifically a flipping tooling for processing automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive parts manufacturing is a complex process that encompasses multiple stages, including design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing, and involves various materials (such as metals, plastics, and composite materials) and processing technologies.

[0003] In the processing of automotive parts, since parts typically have multiple surfaces that all require machining, they need to be flipped to process different surfaces. A Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN219767867U) entitled "A Flipping Mechanism for Automotive Parts Processing" describes a device comprising a work frame with a servo motor fixedly connected to its upper end, and a worm gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor; and a flipping device located inside the work frame, with its surface connected to the worm gear. By incorporating a rotating assembly and a flipping assembly, the device achieves this: when the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the sliding frame to rotate accordingly, keeping the half-gear stationary under the action of the positioning rod. When the sliding frame flips, it drives the spur gear to follow suit, moving along the surface of the half-gear. When the spur gear reaches the teeth of the half-gear, it drives the threaded shaft to rotate, facilitating the flipping operation of the U-shaped tubular steel structure and thus improving work efficiency.

[0004] The aforementioned device typically flips only one part at a time during use, requiring the part to be disassembled and replaced with a new part after processing, resulting in frequent interruptions in the processing. Therefore, we propose a flipping fixture for automotive parts processing to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a flipping fixture for processing automotive parts, comprising a rotating seat 1 and a fixed seat 2, with a flipping mechanism 3 provided between the rotating seat 1 and the fixed seat 2. The flipping mechanism 3 includes a triangular frame 31, and the edge of the fixed seat 2 is provided with a transmission groove 32 that cooperates with the triangular frame 31. The flipping mechanism 3 also includes an arc-shaped seat 33, which is located between the rotating seat 1 and the fixed seat 2. A rotating cylinder 34 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped seat 33, and the rotating cylinder 34 is slidably connected to the edge of the fixed seat 2. A transmission rod 35 is connected to the arc-shaped seat 33, and the transmission rod 35 extends to the outside of the rotating seat 1 and is connected to a positioning box 5. A clamping mechanism 4 is provided on the positioning box 5.

[0023] The set flipping mechanism 3 can flip multiple parts continuously, thus achieving higher flipping efficiency compared to the existing flipping mechanism 3, thereby improving processing efficiency. Existing technology usually flips only one part at a time, and after processing, the part is disassembled before processing other parts, which is less efficient.

[0024] Please see Figure 3A motor 6 is installed at the bottom of the rotating seat 1. The output end of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 1. The fixed seat 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 1. The motor 6 is used to drive the rotating seat 1 to rotate. The motor 6 is used as the driving force to drive the flipping mechanism 3 to flip.

[0025] The operation process of the flipping mechanism 3 is as follows: First, the motor 6 is started, which drives the rotating seat 1 to rotate. As the rotating seat 1 rotates, it drives the positioning box 5 and its flipping mechanism 3 to rotate. The clamping mechanism 4 and the parts set on the positioning box 5 rotate synchronously. When the rotating cylinder 34 rotates into the transmission groove 32, it is limited by the triangular frame 31 and the transmission groove 32, which drives the arc-shaped seat 33, the transmission rod 35 and its positioning box 5 to flip until they are flipped 180 degrees. At this time, the other side of the parts can be processed until both sides are fully processed.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 The clamping mechanism 4 includes an electric push rod 41, which is mounted on the positioning box 5. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 is connected to an upper clamping plate 42, which is slidably connected to the positioning box 5. A lower clamping plate 45 is slidably connected to the positioning box 5.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 A limiting block 43 is provided on the top of the positioning box 5. The limiting block 43 is located above the upper clamping plate 42. The limiting block 43 is used to limit the upper clamping plate 42. A limiting rail 44 is connected to the inner wall of the positioning box 5. The limiting rail 44 and the upper clamping plate 42 are slidably connected.

[0028] The clamping mechanism 4 is used to clamp the parts, thereby cooperating with the flipping mechanism 3 to flip them. The clamping principle of the clamping mechanism 4 is as follows: first, the electric push rod 41 is started, and the electric push rod 41 further drives the upper clamping plate 42 connected to it to move. The upper clamping plate 42 slides along the limit rail 44 until the parts are clamped between the upper clamping plate 42 and the lower clamping plate 45.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 The bottom of the rotating seat 1 is provided with a mounting seat 7, and a hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed on the side wall of the mounting seat 7. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 corresponds to the lower clamping plate 45. The outer wall of the rotating seat 1 is provided with a movable groove that cooperates with the lower clamping plate 45. After the parts are processed, the lower clamping plate 45 is moved by the hydraulic cylinder 8, thereby pushing the lower clamping plate 45 into the rotating seat 1 through the movable groove until the parts between the upper clamping plate 42 and the lower clamping plate 45 are unloaded.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, the parts are first placed in the positioning box 5 by the clamping mechanism 4. Then, the positioning box 5 and its parts are rotated by the flipping mechanism 3, and the parts are rotated 180 degrees to process different surfaces of the parts. After all surfaces of the parts are processed, the lower clamping plate 45 is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder 8 to separate the upper clamping plate 42 and the lower clamping plate 45, so that the parts are unloaded.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
