Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a horizontal reversing worktable. Background Technology

[0002] It is known that when automated equipment processes brake hubs, because brake hubs are disc-shaped / rotating parts with complex geometric features, they often have asymmetrical structures such as flanges and vents. Therefore, when the clamping device remains stationary, it cannot meet the positioning requirements of all processes. Thus, in actual processing, the clamping device is horizontally rotated to expose other processing areas. For example, a rotatable fixture base allows the worker to quickly rotate the part for all-around processing, avoiding repeated disassembly and assembly. In this process, multiple directions (axial end face, radial outer circle / inner hole, side flange hole, ventilation groove, etc.) are processed in a single clamping. That is, the workpiece to be processed is rotated horizontally on the machine tool to change the orientation of its surface to be processed relative to the tool, realizing the orientation change of the workpiece in a single clamping.

[0003] However, in actual use, since the brake hub that has not yet been processed needs to be rotated horizontally, some of the unfixed parts are prone to shifting or loosening during rotation. Therefore, a horizontal reversing worktable is proposed as a further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0055] The linear guide 4 is mainly used to support and install the clamping cylinder mounting moving bracket 11 of the first clamping assembly 1, while ensuring that the clamping cylinder mounting moving bracket 11 can move linearly along the linear guide 4; thus, the workpiece clamped on the first clamping assembly 1 can be moved to the second clamping assembly 2, and after the second clamping assembly 2 clamps it, it can achieve horizontal turning.

[0091] Working principle of this utility model:

[0092] When in use, the transport robot first grabs the brake hub assembly that needs to be reversed and places it into the gripper of the first clamping cylinder 12 of the first clamping assembly 1. The first clamping cylinder 12 works to clamp the brake hub assembly. At this time, the transport robot's gripper is released, and one end of the brake hub assembly can be assembled.

[0093] Then, after the assembly is completed at this end, the drive cylinder 51 pushes the clamping cylinder mounting moving bracket 11 of the first clamping assembly 1 to move along the rail 4. After moving a certain distance, the bottom plate 111 of the clamping cylinder mounting moving bracket 11 is blocked by the buffer 61 and then stops.

[0094] Subsequently, the jaws of the first clamping cylinder 12 of the second clamping assembly 2 expand, internally supporting and tightening the brake wheel hub assembly, and the jaws of the first clamping cylinder 12 of the first clamping assembly 1 release. Under the action of the drive cylinder 51, the first clamping assembly 1 moves along the rail 4 to the initial position, at which point the other end of the brake wheel hub assembly is assembled.

[0095] Finally, the transport robot comes over, grabs the other end of the brake hub assembly, and moves the brake hub assembly to the next workstation; the brake hub assembly achieves horizontal reversal.
