The upper edge of the arc-shaped section 1431 of the arc-shaped guide groove 143 conforms to the shape of the cam 121, and when the cylinder pushes the cam plate assembly 21 to rotate, the driving shaft assembly 22 moves synchronously in the arc-shaped section 1431, and when it moves into the transition section 1432 and contacts with the protrusion 123 of the centering disc 12, the centering disc 12 does not rotate, and the centering disc 12 is not pressed by the piston assembly 13 at this time. Continued movement of the drive shaft assembly 22 may urge the centering disc 12 to rotate.

It should be understood that the active rotation limit angle of the rotary coupler is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, the active rotation angle of the coupler is determined by the active rotation angle of the centering disc, the active rotation angle of the centering disc is determined by the size of the transition section in the arc-shaped guide groove on the guide plate assembly, and the size of the arc-shaped guide groove can be designed according to actual needs.
The following describes a specific operation process of an embodiment of the rotary coupler according to the present invention with reference to fig. 1 to 10:
(1) initial stage
Taking the coupler as an example of positive clockwise rotation, the power assembly is preferably a cylinder assembly 3, in the initial movement stage, the roller 133 is located in the notch 122 of the centering disc 12, the driving shaft assembly 22 is located in the middle of the arc-shaped guide groove 143 of the guide plate assembly 14, at this time, the roller 133 generates extrusion force and friction force on the centering disc 12, the rotation of the centering disc 12 is limited, when the cylinder assembly 3 works, a pressure difference is generated between air chambers at two sides of the cylinder piston 33, the cylinder piston rod 34 extends out and pushes the cam plate assembly 21 to rotate clockwise, and due to the matching relationship, the driving shaft assembly 22 can rotate synchronously with the cam plate assembly 21 and move in the arc-shaped section 1431 of the arc-shaped guide groove 143. At this time, the first cam plate 211 and the second cam plate 212 press the rollers 133 of the left and right piston assemblies 13, respectively, causing the piston rod 132 to compress the spring. When the driveshaft assembly 22 moves to the transition 1432 of the arcuate guide slot 143 and contacts the protrusion 123 of the centering plate 12, the spring compression reaches a maximum, the two side rollers 133 lose their restraint on the centering plate 12, and the coupler does not rotate, and the initial motion phase ends.
(2) Coupler rotation phase
After the initial movement stage, if the cylinder assembly 3 continues to work, the driving shaft assembly 22 pushes the centering disc 12 to rotate clockwise, the coupler synchronously rotates clockwise under the matching action of the key and the key slot, in the process, the compression amount of the spring is unchanged, and when the driving shaft assembly 22 moves to the tail end of the transition section 1432 of the arc-shaped guide groove 143, the centering disc 12 drives the coupler to rotate to the limit position.
The active control of the rotation angle of the coupler can be realized by adjusting the air supply quantity of the air cylinder assembly 3 in the movement process of the coupler. Similarly, when the coupler is required to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, the air supply amount of the air cylinder assembly 3 is controlled to cause the air cylinder piston rod 34 to push the cam plate assembly 21 to rotate counterclockwise.
In the embodiment, the rotary car coupler realizes the function of controlling the car coupler to rotate a designated angle by adjusting the air supply quantity of the air cylinder, and separates the initial stage and the car coupler rotation processes, thereby reducing the load of the air cylinder assembly, avoiding the problem of overlarge load of two actuating air cylinder assemblies at the same time, and improving the reliability of the driving corner driving device.
