Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water heater parts processing, and in particular to a flipping mechanism for water heater parts processing. Background Technology

[0002] A water heater is a device that uses various physical principles to raise the temperature of cold water to hot water within a certain time. According to different principles, it can be divided into electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, magnetic water heaters, air source water heaters, and heating water heaters. The parts that produce cold air and the parts that produce hot water are actually closely linked and inseparable, and they must work simultaneously. That is, while producing hot water, it also cools the kitchen, or it cools the kitchen while producing hot water. During the production and processing of water heaters, clamping devices are usually used to hold the water heater parts for easy processing.

[0003] Currently, most fixtures used for processing water heater parts employ a two-set clamping technique to hold and fix the parts. This involves placing the water heater part on a clamping device, which then clamps and secures the part from the outside. While this method facilitates later processing, it typically only clamps parts of the same size, limiting its applicability and preventing the clamping of parts of different sizes. Furthermore, it requires manual removal and flipping during use, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] A flipping mechanism for processing water heater parts, according to Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a base 1, a side plate 2 connected to the top side of the base 1, an adjustment seat 3 connected to the side plate 2, a clamping assembly 4 connected to the adjustment seat 3, a drive assembly 5 connected to the bottom side of the base 1, and a transmission mechanism 6.

[0025] The adjusting seat 3 includes a connecting seat 301 connected to the side plate 2, a flip gear 303 connected to the right side of the connecting seat 301, and a limiting plate 302 connected to the left side of the connecting seat 301.

[0026] The clamping assembly 4 includes a telescopic plate 402 movably connected to the inner side of the limiting plate 302, a clamping seat 401 connected to the left end of the telescopic plate 402, and an electric push rod 403 connected between the connecting seat 301 and the clamping seat 401.

[0027] The transmission mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 601 movably connected to the bottom side of the base 1, a secondary bevel gear 603 connected to one end of the rotating shaft 601 near the drive assembly 5, and a transmission gear 602 connected to the outer end of the rotating shaft 601.

[0028] according to Figures 2-5 As shown, the drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 501 and a main bevel gear 502 connected to the drive end of the drive motor 501. The transmission mechanism 6 has two sets in total, and the secondary bevel gear 603 is connected to the main bevel gear 502 by meshing.

[0029] It should be noted that during use, by placing the water heater accessories between the two sets of clamping seats 401, the clamping seats 401 are driven by the two sets of electric push rods 403 to move closer to the accessories and clamp them in place, which facilitates processing. Moreover, when it is necessary to flip the accessories, the drive motor 501 is started to drive the main bevel gear 502 to rotate, which in turn drives the two sets of secondary bevel gears 603, the rotating shaft 601 and the transmission gear 602 to rotate. This drives the first idler wheel 101 and the second idler wheel 102 to drive the two sets of adjusting seats 3, clamping components 4 and accessories to rotate synchronously, which improves the convenience of use and processing efficiency, and makes the operation simple and convenient.

[0030] according to Figures 1-2 As shown, a first idler wheel 101 and a second idler wheel 102 are movably connected to the outer side of the base 1. The first idler wheel 101 is located on the left side of the base 1, and there are two second idler wheels 102, which are located on the right side of the base 1 respectively. The second idler wheels 102 are meshed together. The first idler wheel 101 and the second idler wheel 102 are meshed with the flip gear 303 and the transmission gear 602 respectively.

[0031] according to Figures 1-2 As shown, there are two sets of side plates 2, located at the left and right ends of the top side of the base 1 respectively. The left side of the side plate 2 has a movable hole 201, and the inner side of the movable hole 201 is connected to the connecting seat 301 through a bearing.

[0032] It should be noted that the two sets of idler gears 101 and 102 facilitate power transmission and cause the two sets of turning gears 303 to rotate in the same direction during the flipping process, which makes it easier to flip the parts. Moreover, the synchronous rotation can improve the flipping stability. The side plate 2 provides support, and the movable hole 201 facilitates the rotation of the connecting seat 301, thereby realizing the flipping process.

[0033] according to Figures 2-3 As shown, the limiting plates 302 are arranged in groups of three, with a total of two groups. The limiting plates 302 are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The inner side of the limiting plates 302 is provided with a sliding groove 3021.

[0034] according to Figures 2-4 As shown, the telescopic plates 402 are arranged in groups of three, with a total of two groups. The telescopic plates 402 are located inside the limiting plate 302. The telescopic plates 402 and the limiting plate 302 have an arc-shaped structure. A slider 4021 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the telescopic plates 402. The slider 4021 is movably installed inside the slide groove 3021. A clamping hole 4011 is opened on the left side of the clamping seat 401, and a clamping plate 4012 is provided on the outer side of the clamping seat 401.

[0035] It should be noted that during the clamping process, the two sets of electric push rods 403 are activated to drive the two sets of clamping seats 401 to move synchronously relative to each other, and clamp and fix them through the clamping holes 4011 and the clamping plates 4012. At this time, under the action of the clamping holes 4011 and the clamping plates 4012, it is convenient to clamp and hold accessories of different specifications, thereby improving the application range of the clamp. Furthermore, when the telescopic plate 402 and the limiting plate 302 extend and retract, the slider 4021 slides inside the slide groove 3021, which helps to improve the clamping stability and avoids external forces from affecting the components or electric push rods 403 during flipping.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
