Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engines, and in particular to a flipping mechanism for assembling an ECU housing. Background Technology

[0002] ECU, or Engine Control Module, is an electronic device that controls the operation of an internal combustion engine and is a type of automotive-specific microcomputer controller. During ECU production, the housing and cover need to be assembled together. To enhance the connection strength, this process often involves pre-applying adhesive to the mating surfaces of the cover or housing, followed by precise alignment to achieve a secure connection.

[0003] During assembly, the operator typically holds the glued cover by hand, relying on experience to flip it over and align it with the housing before fastening it onto the housing. During manual assembly, the cover is prone to shifting due to hand tremors, causing misalignment between the glued area and the housing's contact surface, resulting in glue overflow and poor adhesion. Furthermore, the contact pressure between the cover and the housing relies entirely on manual control, which can easily lead to component deformation or loose fit due to uneven force, severely affecting product quality stability. This process is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. To address these issues, we propose a flipping mechanism for ECU housing assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping mechanism for assembling an ECU housing, which has the advantage of high assembly quality.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a flipping mechanism for assembling an ECU housing, comprising a slide rail, a slide table mounted on the top of the slide rail, two support plates bolted to the top of the slide table, a rotating shaft rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the support plate, a flip plate fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft, a base frame bolted to the bottom of the flip plate, four vacuum suction cups provided on the top of the base frame, four first positioning blocks bolted to the top of the flip plate, a base provided on one side of the slide table, a cylinder bolted to the bottom of the base, a lifting platform bolted to the top of the cylinder, and four second positioning blocks bolted to the top of the lifting platform.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover is placed between the first positioning blocks, the vacuum suction cup firmly holds the cover, the slide moves the cover to the glue application point, and after the glue is applied, it returns to the initial position, flips the cover upside down onto the shell, the electromagnet is energized to fix it, and the cylinder drives the shell to push upwards to assemble with the cover. This method can achieve good assembly quality, reduce workload, improve work efficiency, and ensure assembly accuracy.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixing tube is bolted to the top of the base frame, and the fixing tube is slidably sleeved with the vacuum suction cup; a quick connector is connected to the surface of the fixing tube; a slide cylinder is slidably sleeved on the surface of the fixing tube; a limit ring is threadedly connected to the surface of the fixing tube; a first spring is provided between the limit ring and the slide cylinder; four trapezoidal grooves are opened on the inner wall of the slide cylinder; four steel balls are provided on the inner wall of the fixing tube; and a snap-fit ​​groove is opened on the surface of the vacuum suction cup, and the snap-fit ​​groove snaps with the steel balls.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the trapezoidal groove is moved by moving the sliding cylinder. The movement of the trapezoidal groove causes the steel ball to slide into the trapezoidal groove and disengage from the locking groove, thereby removing the vacuum suction cup. This facilitates the installation and removal of the vacuum suction cup, making it easy to replace and maintain. By rotating the limiting ring, the elastic force of the first spring can be changed, which can adjust the preload of the first spring and improve stability.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a sealing gasket is slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the fixed tube, and a second spring is provided between the sealing gasket and the inner wall of the fixed tube.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing gasket and a second spring are used to seal the space between the vacuum suction cup and the fixed tube to prevent air leakage.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a handle is bolted to the surface of the flip plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a handle, it is easy to flip the flap.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that an electromagnet is bolted to the top of the base.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, an electromagnet is used to fix the flap, which facilitates assembly.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of guide rods are bolted to the bottom of the lifting platform, and the guide rods are slidably sleeved with the inner wall of the base.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting guide rods, the lifting platform is prevented from shifting, thus improving stability.

[0017] The present invention is further provided that the surface of the slide tube is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, anti-slip texture is set to prevent hand slippage and facilitate operation.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a fixing ring is threaded onto the surface of the fixing tube.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing ring is set to fix the limiting ring and prevent it from loosening.

[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model achieves good assembly quality, reduces workload, improves work efficiency, and ensures assembly accuracy by placing the cover between the first positioning blocks, using a vacuum suction cup to hold the cover firmly, using a slide to move the cover to the glue application point, returning to the initial position after glue application, flipping the cover upside down onto the housing, energizing the electromagnet to fix it, and using a cylinder to push the housing upwards to assemble it with the cover. 2. This utility model moves the trapezoidal groove by moving the sliding cylinder. The movement of the trapezoidal groove causes the steel ball to slide into the trapezoidal groove and disengage from the locking groove, thus removing the vacuum suction cup. This facilitates the installation and removal of the vacuum suction cup, making it easy to replace and maintain. By rotating the limiting ring, the elastic force of the first spring can be changed, which can adjust the preload of the first spring and improve stability. Attached Figure Description
