[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a rotary switching dual-function work tool, including a mounting mechanism 010, a first work device 011, a second work device 013, a bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009, and a rotating mechanism 002, etc., wherein: the mounting mechanism 010 is used to fix and install work devices that realize different functions; the first work device 011 is fixed to one end of the mounting mechanism 010; the second work device 013 is fixed to the other end of the mounting mechanism 010, and the second work device 013 has a different work function than the first work device 011, so that the tool has two different work functions at the same time; the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 is located on one side of the mounting mechanism 010, and its telescopic direction is... Figure 1 The up and down directions are shown. Figure 1This is an isometric view of the device, symmetrical from top to bottom. The first working device 011 is positioned below, and the second working device 013 is positioned above. One end of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 is fixedly connected to the mounting mechanism 010, and the other end is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 007. The rotating mechanism 002 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 007, providing the driving force for the rotation of the rotating shaft 007. When the rotating mechanism 002 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 007 to rotate, thus enabling rapid switching of the corresponding working devices under the rotation of the mounting mechanism 010, completing the corresponding process operations in sequence. If the distance between the tools at both ends and the center of the rotating shaft 007 is fixed, then they can only perform circular motion during rotation, which may lead to the following situations: (i) the tool cannot reach the working surface; (ii) the tool's rotation radius exceeds the location of the working surface, causing tool interference; (iii) after rotating to the correct position, the tool is exactly at the tangent point of the rotation circle. None of these situations allow for normal operation, so a bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 is needed. Through the bidirectional telescopic function of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009, the tool (first working device 011 or second working device 013) is ensured to rotate to the correct position before being pushed out by the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009, thus avoiding dimensional interference and ensuring normal operation. This dual-function working tool has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to control, and has low manufacturing costs. It can effectively improve the overall process efficiency and meet the needs of complex operation scenarios in the current manufacturing industry.
[0035] In some embodiments, axial positioning and clamping mechanisms are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft 007. These mechanisms are used to clamp and position the rotating shaft 007 at 0 degrees. Figure 1 (as shown in the right horizontal direction) and 180 degrees ( Figure 1 As shown in the left horizontal direction, ensure that one end of the vertical direction of the end of the rotating shaft 007 is the first working device 011 (such as a grinding tool) and the other end is the second working device 013 (such as a welding tool). When the rotating mechanism 002 rotates to switch the corresponding working device, it is beneficial to improve the efficiency and stability of the switching.
[0036] In a further embodiment, the aforementioned axial positioning and clamping mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 007, including a mounting bracket 004 and a positioning cylinder 005, etc. The rotating shaft 007 is provided with a radially protruding pin. One end of the mounting bracket 004 is provided with a groove that matches the pin, used to wrap the pin during clamping and positioning. The groove and the pin are designed in a male / female head form. Specifically, the grooves on the mounting brackets 004 on both sides are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 007 and are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner. The pin can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 007. When the rotating shaft 007 drives the pin to rotate from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, the pin also rotates from the groove of the mounting bracket 004 on one side to the groove of the mounting bracket 004 on the other side, thereby realizing axial positioning at two positions respectively. The positioning cylinder 005 is connected to the other end of the mounting bracket 004. The end of the positioning cylinder 005 is provided with a blocking member 006. The positioning cylinder 005 moves along... Figure 2 The blocking component 006 is pushed in the left-right direction; when the radially protruding pin on the rotating shaft 007 rotates to the groove of the mounting bracket 004, the positioning cylinder 005 pushes out the blocking component 006 to form a clamping structure with the groove, thereby clamping and positioning the radially protruding pin of the rotating shaft 007. When the pin is clamped and locked, the entire rotating device (including the rotating mechanism, the rotating shaft, and the bidirectional telescopic cylinder acting on the front end of the rotating shaft and the tool accessories that can rotate with it) can no longer continue to rotate, thus realizing the rotation positioning switch of the end working device.
[0037] The above embodiments provide different working devices at both ends of the mounting mechanism 010, forming an end-effector composite tool structure. In some embodiments, the first working device 011 is any one of a grinding device, a welding device, a cutting device, and a polishing device; the second working device 013 is any one of a grinding device, a welding device, a cutting device, and a polishing device. This satisfies the basic process operation needs of the daily manufacturing industry. When the rotating shaft 007 drives the mounting mechanism 010 to rotate, the different working devices can be quickly and stably switched in spatial position.
[0038] As an example, the first working device 011 is a grinding device, and the second working device 013 is a welding device. The grinding device is installed and connected to one end of the mounting mechanism 010, and the welding device is installed and connected to the other end of the mounting mechanism 010, forming a dual-function working tool for grinding and welding on the surface of workpieces in the manufacturing industry. Grinding / welding operations are achieved by rotating and switching.
[0039] For example, the welding device is a welding nail gun, which is fixedly connected to the mounting mechanism 010 via a bottom mounting member 012 and a waist fixing member 014.
[0040] The above embodiments of this utility model provide a working tool with two workstations set on the same tool carrier. As described above, the single mounting mechanism 010 at both ends of the tool mounting plate is designed with one end as a grinding device and the other end as a welding device. The two working devices are fixedly installed through the middle tool mounting plate. When the rotating mechanism 002 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 007 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the tool mounting plate and the working devices installed on it at both ends. Thus, the corresponding working devices can be quickly switched under the rotation of the tool mounting plate.
[0041] The specific working process of the above-mentioned dual-station grinding / welding tool is as follows: Driven by the rotating mechanism 002, the grinding device rotates and switches to the working point. Then, under the action of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009, the grinding device is lifted upward. After the grinding operation is completed, the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 is controlled to retract. Then, driven by the rotating mechanism 002, the welding device rotates and switches to the working point. Similarly, under the action of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009, the welding device is lifted to the working surface to complete the welding operation.
[0042] In other embodiments, the aforementioned tool can also be a multi-station work tool mounted on the same tool carrier, thereby meeting the need for rapid and frequent switching of multiple tools in complex process environments. The symmetrically designed tool connected to the end of the rotating shaft can also take the form of polishing, drilling, or other tools. Through the structural design of a multi-functional tool, the carrying and reliance on multiple single tools can be reduced during specific operations. By rotating and switching, different work devices can be efficiently switched within the tool, enabling multiple work functions to be achieved with a single tool, thus greatly improving work efficiency and meeting the needs of complex work scenarios in the manufacturing industry.
[0043] In some embodiments, the dual-function work tool further includes a fixed connector 001, which is used to install and connect the dual-function work tool to other equipment, such as machinery or the end effector of a robot, or to make the tool an integral device, with the fixed connector 001 serving as a structure for manual handling during individual use. A rotating mechanism 002 is fixedly connected to the fixed connector 001, and the middle portion of the rotating shaft 007 is fixedly connected to the fixed connector 001 to further improve the stability and reliability of the entire tool structure.
[0044] For example, the middle part of the rotating shaft 007 is connected to the fixed connector 001 through the support bearing seat 008. The rotating shaft 007 passes through the bearing hole of the support bearing seat 008 to form a rotary support structure. That is, one end of the rotating shaft 007 is connected to the rotating mechanism 002, the middle part passes through the support bearing seat, and the other end is connected to the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 and the tool acting on it.
[0045] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 002 adopts a rotary cylinder, and the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder drives the rotating shaft 007 to rotate, thereby driving the working devices located at both ends of the installation mechanism 010 to rotate in spatial position, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly and stably switching the working devices.
[0046] For example, the rotary cylinder is connected to the fixed connector 001 via the mounting base 003, one end of the rotating shaft 007 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder via a keyway structure, and the other end is connected to the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 009 to further improve the stability and reliability of the entire tool structure.
[0047] In other embodiments, for multi-station work tools, the rotating mechanism 002, such as a rotary cylinder, drives the rotating shaft 007 to rotate, thereby enabling rapid switching of multiple end-unit integrated work devices that are installed and connected to the rotating shaft 007. This satisfies the requirement for simultaneous switching of multiple work devices under multiple process requirements, changes the current situation where multiple process operation scenarios can only rely on switching of a single tool and device, optimizes the capabilities and efficiency of work tools, and thus greatly meets the needs of existing operation scenarios.
[0048] In other embodiments, the rotating mechanism 002 may also adopt other structures, such as electric motors, pneumatic motors, hydraulic motors, and other power components that can provide rotational driving force, as long as they can achieve the same function as described above.
[0049] The rotary switching dual-function work tool provided in the above embodiments of this utility model has a bidirectional telescopic cylinder connected to one side of the mounting mechanism, and a rotating shaft connected to one end of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism. When the rotating mechanism rotates, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby achieving rapid switching of the corresponding tools under the rotation of the mounting mechanism, and completing the corresponding process operations in sequence. This dual-function work tool has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to control, and has low manufacturing cost. It can effectively improve the efficiency of the entire process operation and meet the needs of current complex operation scenarios.
[0050] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
