Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating technology, and in particular to a self-rotating coating tooling cage. Background Technology

[0002] The placement angle of the coated parts in the coating machine is a crucial factor determining the quality of the coating effect. When the angle between the surface to be coated and the incident source is less than a certain angle, the film thickness will be difficult to achieve the required level. Currently, after the coated parts are installed on the aluminum plating fixture, the placement angle of the parts relative to the fixture is fixed. When multiple angled surfaces of the part need to be aluminum plating, the aluminum plating effect is poor on the side with the smaller incident angle.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a self-rotating coating tooling cage to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a self-rotating coating tooling cage.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a self-rotating coating fixture cage, including a cage body and a fixed base located at the bottom of the cage body; the cage body is connected to the coating machine through the fixed base; tooling components are evenly distributed and rotatably connected to the cage body along the circumference; a transmission component is connected to each tooling component on the fixed base; when the coating machine drives the cage body to rotate, each tooling component is passively rotated under the action of the transmission component.

[0006] The transmission assembly includes a fixed gear fixed to the top of the fixed base; each tooling assembly has a transmission gear at its bottom that drives the fixed gear.

[0007] The cage body includes an upper sealing plate, a lower sealing plate, and a central shaft; the edges of the upper and lower sealing plates are connected by several circumferentially distributed support rods; a connector is provided in the middle of the lower sealing plate; the central shaft passes through the middle of the upper sealing plate and is connected to the connector; a rotating seat is connected to the bottom of the connector; the rotating seat passes through the transmission assembly and the fixed base in sequence.

[0008] The tooling assembly includes a tooling frame; the top of the tooling frame is rotatably connected to the upper sealing plate via a rotating shaft, and the bottom is connected to the rotating sleeve via a connecting shaft; the rotating sleeve is fixed to the lower sealing plate via a bearing; the bottom of the rotating sleeve is provided with a rotating shaft; the transmission gear is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] The upper and lower sealing plates are hexagonal in shape.

[0010] Each corner of the upper and lower sealing plates is provided with a support rod.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model uses transmission and tooling components for transmission. When the tooling cage rotates as a whole in the coating machine, the tooling components are passively rotated under the action of the transmission components, so that the side of the part with a small incident angle continuously rotates within the coating machine, thereby improving the coating effect. Moreover, the tooling components operate without power, which simplifies the overall structure and saves production costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] (Example 1)

[0019] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment of a rotating coating fixture cage includes a cage body 1 and a fixed base 2 located at the bottom of the cage body 1. The cage body 1 is connected to a coating machine through the fixed base 2. Tooling components 3 are rotatably connected to the cage body 1 along its circumference. A transmission component 4 is connected to each tooling component 3 on the fixed base 2. When the coating machine drives the cage body 1 to rotate, each tooling component 3 is passively rotated under the action of the transmission component 4. This embodiment achieves a composite motion mode of the workpiece during the coating process through the cooperative design of the cage body 1 and the fixed base 2. When the coating machine drives the cage body 1 to revolve, the transmission component 4 uses the principle of relative motion to cause each tooling component 3 to rotate. This planetary composite motion significantly improves the coating uniformity and avoids the coating thickness differences caused by traditional single-axis rotation. The fixed base 2 enhances system stability, ensures the reliability of the transmission process, and simplifies the docking structure between the equipment and the coating machine.

[0020] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 4 includes a fixed gear 4-1 fixed to the top of the fixed base 2; each tooling assembly 3 has a transmission gear 4-2 at its bottom that drives the fixed gear 4-1. In this embodiment, the relative movement between the stationary positioning of the fixed gear 4-1 and the rotating cage effectively converts the gyratory energy of the main shaft into the self-rotation energy of each tooling, realizing a passive transmission mechanism that does not require an additional drive device, thereby saving energy consumption and reducing maintenance costs. Compared with friction transmission, the gear meshing method has higher transmission accuracy, ensuring the synchronization and stability of the rotational speed of each tooling.

[0021] Furthermore, the cage body 1 includes an upper sealing plate 1-1, a lower sealing plate 1-2, and a central shaft 1-3; the edges of the upper sealing plate 1-1 and the lower sealing plate 1-2 are connected by a plurality of circumferentially distributed support rods 1-4; a connecting member 1-5 is provided in the middle of the lower sealing plate 1-2; the central shaft 1-3 passes through the middle of the upper sealing plate 1-1 and is connected to the connecting member 1-5; a rotating seat 1-6 is connected to the bottom of the connecting member 1-5; the rotating seat 1-6 passes through the transmission assembly 4 and the fixed base 2 in sequence.

[0022] Furthermore, the tooling assembly 3 includes a tooling frame 3-1; the top of the tooling frame 3-1 is rotatably connected to the upper sealing plate 1-1 via a rotating shaft, and the bottom is connected to the rotating sleeve 3-2 via a connecting shaft; the rotating sleeve 3-2 is fixed to the lower sealing plate 1-2 via a bearing 3-3; the bottom of the rotating sleeve 3-2 is provided with a rotating shaft 3-4; the transmission gear 4-2 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 3-4. In this embodiment, the modular cage body 1 structure adopts a frame construction of upper sealing plate 1-1, lower sealing plate 1-2 and support rod 1-4, which ensures structural rigidity and achieves lightweight design. The double-layer fixing design of the central shaft 1-3 and the connecting piece 1-5 improves the rotational coaxiality, and the through design of the rotating sleeve 3-2 makes it easier to install the transmission gear 4-2.

[0023] Furthermore, the upper sealing plate 1-1 and the lower sealing plate 1-2 are hexagonal in shape.

[0024] Furthermore, each corner of the upper sealing plate 1-1 and the lower sealing plate 1-2 is provided with a support rod 1-4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the self-rotating coating fixture cage is driven by the tooling assembly 3. When the entire tooling cage rotates inside the coating machine, the tooling assembly 3 is passively rotated under the action of the transmission assembly 4, so that the side of the part with a small incident angle continuously rotates within the coating machine, thereby improving the coating effect. Moreover, the tooling assembly 3 operates without power, which simplifies the overall structure and saves production costs.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model.
