Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic cylinder docking and leveling device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production processes, it is often necessary to transfer large cylindrical workpieces. These workpieces are characterized by smooth surfaces, large weight (usually between 1 and 2 tons), and often only have threaded holes at the tail end for hoisting. Due to differences in the preceding and following production processes, it is sometimes necessary to change the vertical transport of the workpiece to horizontal transport to meet the needs of subsequent processing or assembly.
[0003] Currently, the industry widely relies on overhead cranes for workpiece flipping and transport. However, this traditional method has many drawbacks. During overhead crane operation, workpieces may fall due to unstable lifting or operational errors, causing serious consequences such as equipment damage and personal injury. Because workpieces are large, have smooth surfaces, and are only lifted via the threaded hole at the tail, they are prone to slipping during flipping, leading to product falls. Furthermore, overhead crane operation relies on manual control, making precise workpiece positioning difficult and affecting the smooth progress of subsequent processes. For example, during assembly, inaccurate workpiece positioning can lead to assembly failure or reduced product quality, resulting in low production efficiency, unstable product quality, and ultimately impacting the operation of the entire production line and the company's economic benefits.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic cylinder docking and leveling device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic cylinder docking and leveling device.
[0006] This utility model provides an automatic cylinder docking and leveling device. The surface of the mounting base has a horizontal displacement mechanism. The surface of the horizontal displacement mechanism is hinged with a degree flipping component. A flipping drive is provided between the degree flipping component and the horizontal displacement mechanism. A descent buffer mechanism is fixedly provided on the surface of the horizontal displacement mechanism. The surface of the degree flipping component clamps and mounts a workpiece.
[0007] Preferably, the tilting component is hinged to the horizontal displacement mechanism via a bearing with a seat, the tilting component clamps the workpiece via a clamping mechanism, and the tilting component lifts and supports the workpiece via a lifting mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism consists of two sets, upper and lower, driven by a cylinder, and the lowering buffer mechanism is lifted by a cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the horizontal displacement mechanism consists of a cylinder, a slider, and a movable frame. The movable frame is slidably connected to the mounting base via the slider. One end of the cylinder is connected to the mounting base, and the other end is connected to the movable frame.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism is a cylinder cam lifting structure, in which the lifting is achieved by a cylinder.
[0011] Compared with related technologies, the automatic cylindrical docking and leveling device provided by this utility model has the following advantages: the entire process, from the stable fixing and precise flipping of the workpiece to the horizontal displacement, requires no manual intervention, achieving fully automated operation. This not only significantly improves the safety of the operation and effectively avoids the safety hazards that may be caused by manual operation, but also reduces the errors caused by manual intervention and ensures high precision in workpiece positioning.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0015] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 An automatic cylindrical docking and leveling device has a horizontal displacement mechanism 2 on the surface of the mounting base 1, a 90-degree flipping component 3 hinged to the surface of the horizontal displacement mechanism 2, a flipping drive 4 between the 90-degree flipping component 3 and the horizontal displacement mechanism 2, a descent buffer mechanism 5 fixedly provided on the surface of the horizontal displacement mechanism 2, and a workpiece 6 clamped and mounted on the surface of the 90-degree flipping component 3.
[0016] In the specific implementation process, the device is in standby mode, the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 is in the initial set position, the 90-degree flipping component 3 is in a vertical posture, and the lowering buffer mechanism 5 is in a retracted state, waiting to receive the vertically conveyed workpiece 6. When the vertically conveyed workpiece 6 arrives at the receiving area of the device, the 90-degree flipping component 3 activates its clamping function, tightly holding the workpiece 6 from the side. After clamping the workpiece 6, the workpiece 6 is clamped and fixed. After the workpiece 6 is fixed, the flipping drive 4 starts to work, driving the 90-degree flipping component 3 to rotate slowly and smoothly around its hinge point with the horizontal displacement mechanism 2. During this process, since the workpiece 6 has been firmly fixed on the 90-degree flipping component 3, it will gradually flip from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture along with the 90-degree flipping component 3. The entire flipping process is performed at a uniform and controllable speed, avoiding the risk of workpiece 6 shaking or slipping due to excessive flipping speed, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the flipping operation. When workpiece 6 completes a 90-degree flip and is about to reach a horizontal position, the lowering buffer mechanism 5 is activated. The lowering buffer mechanism 5 rapidly lifts via a cylinder, forming a stable support platform below workpiece 6. Through the elastic buffering effect of the cylinder, the lowering buffer mechanism 5 effectively absorbs the impact force generated by the gravity of workpiece 6, avoiding rigid collisions between workpiece 6 and the support platform, ensuring the surface quality and structural integrity of workpiece 6. Finally, the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 accurately moves the horizontally positioned workpiece 6 to the designated location. After the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 moves workpiece 6 to the designated position, the 90-degree flipping component 3 releases its grip on workpiece 6, placing it stably in a horizontal position, awaiting subsequent transfer or processing operations. Thus, the entire automatic cylindrical docking and leveling device completes a full work cycle, achieving fully automated operation from the stable fixing and precise flipping of workpiece 6 to horizontal displacement. The entire process requires no human intervention, which not only greatly improves the safety of the operation and effectively avoids the safety hazards that may be caused by manual operation, but also ensures the high accuracy of workpiece 6 positioning and improves the efficiency of workpiece 6 transfer.
[0017] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the 90-degree flipping component 3 is hinged to the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 via a seated bearing 33. The 90-degree flipping component 3 clamps the workpiece 6 via a clamping mechanism 31 and lifts and supports the workpiece 6 via a lifting mechanism 32.
[0018] It should be noted that the clamping mechanism 31 is driven by a cylinder. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece 6, the cylinder starts to move, pushing the clamping arms towards the workpiece 6. The workpiece 6 is surrounded from both sides. Under the continuous action of the cylinder, the clamping arms gradually tighten, generating sufficient friction with the surface of the workpiece 6 to firmly clamp it. Furthermore, after clamping the workpiece 6, the clamping mechanism 31 forms a mechanical self-locking structure. This self-locking structure ensures that even if external forces interfere or cylinder pressure fluctuates during the flipping process, the clamping arms will not loosen, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the workpiece 6 during flipping and effectively avoiding the risk of the workpiece 6 falling backward. The lifting mechanism 32 can achieve a lifting effect, easily lifting the heavy workpiece 6, ensuring a fixed lifting position, and improving stopping accuracy. When workpiece 6 is in a vertical position, the lifting mechanism 32 lifts upwards, accurately supporting the bottom of workpiece 6, providing stable support for the subsequent flipping action, and preventing workpiece 6 from swaying or falling due to lack of bottom support during the flipping process. After clamping and lifting workpiece 6, the flipping drive 4 starts working. This allows the 90-degree flipping component 3 and workpiece 6 to rotate around the central axis of the bearing 33. Since the clamping mechanism 31 has firmly clamped workpiece 6, and the lifting mechanism 32 also reliably supports the bottom of workpiece 6, workpiece 6 will slowly rotate together with the 90-degree flipping component 3. When the rotation approaches 90 degrees and is about to reach a horizontal state, the lowering buffer mechanism 5 begins to lift and receive the workpiece, further buffering the impact force when workpiece 6 is leveled, ensuring that workpiece 6 is placed stably in a horizontal position, completing the 90-degree flip from vertical conveying state to horizontal conveying state.
[0019] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism 31 consists of two sets, upper and lower, and is driven by a cylinder. The lowering buffer mechanism 5 is lifted by a cylinder.
[0020] It should be noted that the clamping mechanism 31 is set into two sets, upper and lower, and is driven by a cylinder. Its main function is to firmly clamp the workpiece 6 and ensure the stability of the workpiece 6 during flipping, conveying and other processes. The lowering buffer mechanism 5 is lifted by a cylinder. Its main function is to provide buffering during the descent or flattening of the workpiece 6, reduce impact force, and protect the workpiece 6 and the equipment.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 consists of a cylinder, a slider, and a movable frame. The movable frame is slidably connected to the mounting base 1 via the slider. One end of the cylinder is connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end is connected to the movable frame.
[0022] It should be noted that after the workpiece 6 is flipped to a horizontal state by the 90-degree flipping component 3, the cylinder is activated, causing the extension end of the cylinder to move, thereby driving the moving frame to move. The moving frame slides on the surface of the mounting base 1 through the slider, thereby realizing the transfer of the workpiece 6.
[0023] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 32 is a cylinder cam lifting structure, which is lifted by a cylinder.
[0024] It should be noted that the cylinder cam lifting structure is adopted, which uses a cylinder to achieve force multiplication and lifting. This structure can provide a large lifting force and the lifting position is fixed, which improves the stopping accuracy and can accurately lift and support the bottom of the workpiece 6.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
