[0025] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a gear shifting joint device according to this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a gear shifting joint equipment, including a workbench 1. A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1 via bearings. The top of the rotating shaft 15 extends above the workbench 1 and is equipped with a turntable 2. The upper surface of the turntable 2 is provided with six fixed seats 19 arranged in a circumferential array. Around the turntable 2, the upper surface of the workbench 1 is respectively provided with a feeding station 3, an ultrasonic welding station 4, an insertion / extraction force detection station 5, a height detection station 6, a laser marking station 7, and a robot material handling station 8. The ultrasonic welding station 4, the insertion / extraction force detection station 5, the height detection station 6, and the laser marking station 7 are all driven by a support platform and a cylinder. The ultrasonic welding machine of the ultrasonic welding station 4, the insertion / extraction force detector of the insertion / extraction force detection station 5, the height detector of the height detection station 6, and the laser marking machine of the laser marking station 7 are all existing equipment in existing gear shifting joint manufacturing plants and will not be described in detail here. The equipment at each station is moved up and down by the cylinder. The robot material handling station 8 includes a fixed plate 9. A drive motor is installed in the inner cavity of the fixed plate 9. The shaft of the drive motor extends above the fixed plate 9 and is connected to a rotating plate 10. A cylinder is installed in the inner cavity of the rotating plate 10 away from the drive motor. The bottom of the piston rod of the cylinder extends below the rotating plate 10 and is equipped with a clamp 11. The clamp 11 is an existing clamp used to pick up the shift connector. By starting the drive motor, the rotating plate 10 rotates with the shaft of the drive motor as the center, thereby adjusting the position of the clamp 11, so that the clamp can pick up the shift connector on the turntable 2 and transfer it to the material box.

[0027] The inner cavity of the workbench 1 is equipped with an intermittent rotation drive mechanism for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 15. The intermittent rotation drive mechanism includes a motor 12, the shaft of which is connected to a drive disk 13. A driven disk 16 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15. The surface of the driven disk 16 is provided with six U-shaped openings 18 arranged in a circumferential array. One side of the drive disk 13 is provided with insertion blocks 14 corresponding to the U-shaped openings 18. By starting the motor 12, the drive disk 13 is rotated. When the insertion blocks 14 on the drive disk 13 are inserted into the U-shaped openings 18 of the driven disk 16, the drive disk 13 will drive the driven disk 16 to rotate 60°, thereby causing the fixed seat 19 to stop at each workstation. The passive disk 16 has arc-shaped openings 17 on the side walls of the two U-shaped openings 18. The curvature of the arc-shaped openings 17 matches the curvature of the drive disk 13, and the side wall of the drive disk 13 contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped openings 17. Through the cooperation between the arc-shaped openings 17 and the drive disk 13, the connection between the drive disk 13 and the passive disk 16 is made tighter and more reliable.

[0028] The fixed base 19 includes a base plate 20. The upper surface of the base plate 20 is provided with a first protrusion 21 and a second protrusion 22 at both ends. The upper surface of the first protrusion 21 is provided with a groove 23 that matches the head of the shift connector. The upper surface of the second protrusion 22 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 24 that matches the tail end of the shift connector. When the operator stands on the loading station 3 and the fixed base 19 rotates to the loading station 3, the operator places the shift connector on the fixed base 19, so that the head of the shift connector is locked in the groove 23 and the tail end of the shift connector is locked in the arc-shaped groove 24, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the shift connector. It is also convenient for the equipment at the inspection station to pick up and put it in. The structure is simple and the limiting and fixing effect is good.

[0029] The working principle of this shift connector equipment is as follows: During use, the operator stands on the loading station 3. When the fixed seat 19 rotates to the loading station 3, the operator places the shift connector on the fixed seat 19. By starting the motor 12, the drive plate 13 rotates. When the insert 14 on the drive plate 13 is inserted into the U-shaped opening 18 of the passive plate 16, the drive plate 13 will drive the passive plate 16 to rotate 60°, so that the fixed seat 19 will stop at each station. The shift connector placed on the fixed seat 19 will sequentially undergo welding, insertion and extraction force detection, height detection, and laser marking. Finally, it will be taken out by the robot picking station and moved out of the turntable 2. The shift connector can continuously go through multiple processes during the production process. The automation level of the whole process is low, which greatly improves the production efficiency. The worker only needs to place the shift connector on the fixed seat 19. The operation is simple and greatly reduces the labor intensity of the workers.

[0030] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
