Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotics, and more specifically to a method for flipping materials. Background Technology

[0002] Engineering robots and logistics handling robots are quite similar; both require gripping and transporting regular objects of a certain weight at different heights. Automation enables intelligent logistics, such as fully automated logistics in ports and logistics centers. However, existing handling robots cannot flip over box-shaped materials being handled. Furthermore, the gripper's movement direction is fixed; they can only clamp boxes in one direction—either from top to bottom or from left to back. They cannot clamp in different directions, making them susceptible to limitations imposed by space constraints, preventing them from picking up boxes. They also cannot catch materials falling from the air. Grabbing boxes requires opening the grippers, moving them to position the box between the teeth, and then closing them—a cumbersome process. Additionally, existing engineering robots cannot assist other robots in rescuing them. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a material flipping method that can flip box-shaped materials in opposite directions, and the operation is reliable and simple.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a material turning method, which is implemented by a turning device, the turning device including a frame, a turning device provided on the frame; the turning device including a turning support, a turning drive device, a turning seat and two turning tracks; the turning drive device is located at the bottom of the turning support, and the two turning tracks are both located on the turning support and above the turning drive device; the turning drive device drives the turning seat to slide on the turning tracks.

[0005] The flipping seat includes a flipping fixed seat and a flipping support, the flipping support being rotatably mounted on the flipping fixed seat; the flipping fixed seat is fixedly connected to the flipping drive device; the flipping support includes a flipping first support plate and a flipping second support plate, the flipping second support plate being located below the flipping first support plate; the flipping first support plate and the flipping second support plate are connected and vertically arranged; flipping sliding members are respectively provided at both ends of the flipping second support plate, and the flipping track is provided with an arc-shaped groove; the arc-shaped groove has a first end and a second end; the first end extends upward and outward along the length direction of the flipping support; the second end extends downward and inward along the length direction of the flipping support; the flipping sliding member is slidably mounted in the arc-shaped groove; the flipping drive device is used to drive the flipping support to rotate along the arc-shaped groove by an angle A, 0° < A < 100°.

[0006] The method for turning materials over includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. If the material in the box needs to be flipped in a clockwise direction, proceed to S2; if the material in the box needs to be flipped in a counterclockwise direction, proceed to S6.

[0008] S2. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the first end of the arc-shaped slide groove, so that the flipping second support plate is located above the flipping first support plate.

[0009] S3. Place the box-shaped material on the flip support, and then proceed to S4.

[0010] S4. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the second end of the arc-shaped slide, and the flipping support gradually rotates in a clockwise direction.

[0011] S5. When the flipping slider slides to the second end of the arc-shaped groove, the flipping first support plate is located above the flipping second support plate; the flipping support rotates clockwise by angle A; the rotation of the flipping support causes the box-shaped material to flip over.

[0012] S6. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the second end of the arc-shaped slide groove, so that the flipping first support plate is located above the flipping second support plate.

[0013] S7. Place the box-shaped material on the flip support, and then proceed to S8.

[0014] S8. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the first end of the arc-shaped slide groove, and the flipping support gradually rotates in the counterclockwise direction.

[0015] S9. When the flipping slider slides to the first end of the arc-shaped chute, the flipping second support plate is located above the flipping first support plate; the flipping support rotates clockwise by angle A; the rotation of the flipping support causes the box-shaped material to flip over.

[0016] The above method determines whether the box-shaped material needs to be flipped clockwise or counterclockwise; adjusts the position of the flipping support; when clockwise flipping is required, the flipping support is moved to the first end of the arc-shaped chute; then, by moving the flipping support closer to the second end of the arc-shaped chute, the box-shaped material is flipped. Similarly, when counterclockwise flipping is required, the flipping support is moved to the second end of the arc-shaped chute; then, by moving the flipping support closer to the first end of the arc-shaped chute, the box-shaped material is flipped. Therefore, this method allows for flipping box-shaped materials in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions.

[0017] Furthermore, S1 also includes S10 if it is necessary to repeatedly flip the box-shaped material.

[0018] S10, proceed with S2-S5; then proceed with S8-S9.

[0019] The above method, by flipping the box-shaped material over and then repositioning it, can fully stir the filling material inside the box-shaped material.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting device; the lifting device includes a fixed lifting bracket, a movable lifting bracket, a lifting drive device, and a transmission assembly; the fixed lifting bracket is fixedly connected to the frame, and the movable lifting bracket is slidably connected to the fixed lifting bracket and the tilting device.

[0021] The transmission assembly includes a first lifting transmission wheel, a second lifting transmission wheel, a lifting synchronous belt, a first synchronous belt fixing component, and a second synchronous belt fixing component; the output end of the lifting drive device passes through the first lifting transmission wheel and is connected to one end of the lifting movable support, and the second lifting transmission wheel is rotatably mounted on the other end of the lifting movable support; the lifting synchronous belt is sleeved on the first lifting transmission wheel and the second lifting transmission wheel.

[0022] One end of the first synchronous belt fixing member is fixedly connected to the lifting fixed bracket, and the other end of the first synchronous belt fixing member is clamped on the lifting synchronous belt on one side of the lifting first transmission wheel and the lifting second transmission wheel; the second synchronous belt fixing member puts the lifting synchronous belt on the other side of the lifting first transmission wheel and the lifting second transmission wheel onto the tilting bracket; the transmission assembly is used to drive the lifting movable bracket and the tilting device to lift synchronously.

[0023] The above setup uses a lifting device to drive the tilting device to rise and fall, making it easy for the tilting device to work with box-shaped materials of different heights. The lifting synchronous belt sleeve on one side of the transmission component is connected to the lifting fixed bracket. The transmission component rotates in one direction, causing the lifting synchronous belt to move. The first synchronous belt fixing component moves towards the bottom of the lifting fixed bracket, generating a force that drives the lifting fixed bracket to move downward. Since the lifting fixed bracket is fixed to the frame, it cannot move. However, the transmission component is set on the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting movable bracket is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket. This drives the lifting movable bracket to move upward, causing the first synchronous belt fixing component to move downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, thereby realizing the lifting movable bracket rising.

[0024] The transmission assembly rotates in another direction to lift the timing belt sleeve. The first timing belt fixing member moves closer to the top of the lifting fixed bracket. The first timing belt fixing member generates a force that drives the lifting fixed bracket to move upward. Since the lifting fixed bracket is fixed on the frame, it cannot move. The transmission assembly is set on the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting movable bracket is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket. This will drive the lifting movable bracket to move downward, causing the first timing belt fixing member to move upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, thereby realizing the descent of the lifting movable bracket.

[0025] Meanwhile, a second synchronous belt fixing component is connected to the lifting synchronous belt sleeve on the other side of the transmission assembly. When the lifting movable bracket rises, the first synchronous belt fixing component moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, so that the second synchronous belt fixing component moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, and the tilting bracket rises at the same time. When the lifting movable bracket falls, the first synchronous belt fixing component moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, so that the second synchronous belt fixing component moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel, and the tilting bracket falls at the same time. The tilting bracket moves based on the movement of the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting height range of the tilting bracket is large.

[0026] Furthermore, S0 is also included between S1 and S0.

[0027] S0. The lifting device drives the tilting device to move, bringing it closer to the device that provides box-shaped materials. This facilitates the coordination of the tilting device with devices that provide box-shaped materials at different heights.

[0028] Furthermore, A is 83°. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the lifting device of the present invention after it has been raised. Detailed Implementation

[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] like Figure 1-13 As shown; a material turning method is implemented by a turning device, which includes a frame 10, a turning device 12 and a lifting device 2 on the frame 10. In this embodiment, there are two lifting devices 2, and the turning device 12 is located between the two lifting devices 2. The two lifting devices 2 are connected to the turning device 12 and drive the turning device 12 to rise and fall.

[0044] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown; the flipping device 12 includes a flipping bracket 121, a flipping drive device 122, a flipping seat 123 and two flipping tracks 124; the flipping drive device 122 is located at the bottom of the flipping bracket 121, and the two flipping tracks 124 are both located on the flipping bracket 121 and above the flipping drive device 122; the flipping drive device 122 drives the flipping seat 123 to slide on the flipping tracks 124.

[0045] like Figure 3-5As shown; the flipping seat 123 includes a flipping fixed seat 1231, a flipping swing seat 1232, and a flipping support 1233; the flipping support 1233 is fixedly connected to the flipping swing seat 1232, and the flipping swing seat 1232 is hinged to the flipping fixed seat 1231; the flipping swing seat 1232 includes a swinging first seat body 1234 and a swinging second seat body 1235; the swinging first seat body 1234 and the swinging second seat body 1235 are connected and vertically arranged; the flipping support 1233 includes a flipping first support plate 1236 and a flipping second support plate 1237, and the flipping second support plate 1237 is located below the flipping first support plate 1236; flipping The first support plate 1236 is connected to and vertically arranged with the flipping second support plate 1237; the flipping first support plate 1236 is connected to the swinging first seat 1234, and the flipping second support plate 1237 is connected to the swinging second seat 1235; the flipping swinging seat 1232 is fixedly connected to the flipping support member 1233; the flipping swinging seat 1232 is hinged to the flipping fixed seat 1231; the flipping drive device 122 drives the flipping support member 1233 to move, and the flipping support member 1233 rotates during the movement; when the flipping support member 1233 rotates, the flipping support member 1233 drives the flipping swinging seat 1232 to rotate on the flipping fixed seat 1231.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown; flipping sliding members 1238 are respectively provided at both ends of the flipping second support plate 1237, and the flipping track 124 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 1241; the arc-shaped groove 1241 is provided with a first end 1243 and a second end 1244; the first end 1243 extends upward and outward along the length direction of the flipping support; the second end 1244 extends downward and inward along the length direction of the flipping support. The flipping sliding member 1238 is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove 1241 through a flange bearing; the flipping drive device 122 is used to drive the flipping support member 1233 to rotate along the arc-shaped groove 1241 by an angle A, where 0° < A < 100°. In this embodiment, A is 83°.

[0047] like Figure 3 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, the flipping bracket 121 includes a flipping fixing member 1211 and a flipping positioning member 1212, with the flipping positioning member 1212 disposed on the flipping fixing member 1211. An clearance hole 1214 is provided on the flipping positioning member 1212, forming a clearance space 1215 between the clearance hole 1214 and the flipping fixing member 1211. In this embodiment, a flipping support member 1213 is provided on the flipping fixing member 1211; the flipping positioning member 1212 is disposed on the flipping support member 1213, thus increasing the height of the clearance space 1215.

[0048] together as Figure 10As shown, a mounting hole 1216 is provided on the flipping fixing member 1211; the flipping track 124 passes through the mounting hole 1216 and is set in the clearance space 1215 and is fixedly connected to the flipping fixing member 1211 and the flipping positioning member 1212. By setting the clearance space 1215 to accommodate the box-shaped material and the flipping device 12, the volume of the flipping device 12 can be reduced; at the same time, it is prevented that the box-shaped material will fall off the flipping support member 1233 when the flipping support member 1233 flips the box-shaped material.

[0049] like Figure 5 , 9 As shown in Figure 10; locking members 1217 are provided on both sides of the flipping fixing member 1211 and both sides of the flipping positioning member 1212. Each locking member 1217 has a first through hole 12171 that vertically penetrates the locking member 1217 and a second through hole 12172 that horizontally penetrates the locking member 1217. Two locking members 1217 on one side are connected to a flipping track 124; two locking members 1217 on the other side are connected to another flipping track 124. The first through hole 12171 is aligned with the first threaded hole (not shown in the figure) of the flipping fixing member 1211, and the second threaded hole (not shown in the figure) on the flipping positioning member 1212 is aligned with the first threaded hole (not shown in the figure). Alignment; the second through hole 12172 and the third threaded hole 1242 on the flip track 124 are rotated; the bolt passes through the first through hole 12171 and connects with the first threaded hole to fix the locking member 1217 on the flip fixing member 1211; the bolt passes through the first through hole 12171 and connects with the second threaded hole to fix the locking member 1217 on the flip positioning member 1212; the bolt passes through the second through hole 12172 and connects with the third threaded hole 1242 to lock the flip track 124 on the locking member 1217; thus, a stable connection is achieved between the flip track 124 and the flip fixing member 1211 and the flip positioning member 1212.

[0050] Two support members 1218 are provided at the end of the flipping fixing member 1211 away from the gripping device 13. Each support member 1218 has a first slot 12181 at its top. The first slot 12181 is engaged with the end of the flipping positioning member 1212 away from the gripping device 13. In another embodiment, two second slots 12182 are provided at the end of the flipping positioning member 1212 away from the gripping device 13. The first slot 12181 engages with the second slot 12182. The engagement of the first slot 12181 with the flipping positioning member 1212 further improves the stability of the connection between the flipping fixing member 1211 and the flipping positioning member 1212.

[0051] like Figure 4 , 10As shown; the flipping drive device 122 is disposed at the bottom of the flipping fixed base 1231; in this embodiment, the flipping drive device 122 is a rodless cylinder; the flipping drive device 122 includes a flipping drive support 1221, a flipping drive cylinder body 1222, and a flipping drive slider 1223; the flipping drive support 1221 is connected to the flipping fixed base 1231, the flipping drive cylinder body 1222 is disposed on the flipping fixed base 1231, and the flipping drive slider 1223 passes through the flipping drive cylinder body 1222 and slides on the flipping drive cylinder body 1222; a connecting hole 1219 is provided on the flipping fixed member 1211, and one end of the flipping drive slider 1223 passes through the connecting hole 1219 and connects to the flipping fixed base 1231. The flipping base 123 moves by moving the flipping drive slider 1223. The connection between the flipping drive slider 1223 and the flipping fixed base 1231 prevents the flipping drive slider 1223 from rotating during movement; it also guides the movement of the flipping drive slider 1223.

[0052] The flipping device 12 flips the box-shaped material. Through the vertically arranged first flipping support plate 1236 and second flipping support plate 1237, the flipping support 1233 can simultaneously contact the adjacent surfaces of the box-shaped material. The flipping support 1233 can support the bottom surface of the box-shaped material before and after flipping. When the box-shaped material is not flipped, the second flipping support plate 1237 supports the box-shaped material. When the box-shaped material is flipped, the first flipping support plate 1236 supports the box-shaped material. This prevents the box-shaped material from falling off the flipping support 1233 under the action of gravity.

[0053] Meanwhile, since the flip support 1233 is rotatably mounted on the flip fixing seat 1231, and the flip support 1233 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide groove 1241 through the flip sliding member 1238, the arc-shaped slide groove 1241 restricts the movement of the flip support 1233.

[0054] Reference Figure 8-10As shown; when the flipping support 1233 moves away from the gripping device 13, under the guidance of the arc-shaped slide 1241, the flipping support 1233 rotates counterclockwise, changing from a state where the flipping first support plate 1236 is above the flipping second support plate 1237 to a state where the flipping second support plate 1237 is above the flipping first support plate 1236; when the flipping support 1233 moves closer to the gripping device 13, under the guidance of the arc-shaped slide 1241, the flipping support 1233 rotates clockwise, changing from a state where the flipping second support plate 1237 is above the flipping first support plate 1236 to a state where the flipping first support plate 1236 is above the flipping second support plate 1237. That is, the box-shaped material is flipped from side A on the left and side B on top to side B on the left and side A on the bottom; this allows the box-shaped material to be flipped in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0055] like Figure 11-13 As shown; the lifting device 2 includes a lifting fixed bracket 21, a lifting movable bracket 22, a lifting drive device 23, and a transmission assembly 24; the lifting fixed bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 10, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21 and the tilting device 12.

[0056] In this embodiment, the lifting fixed bracket 21 is provided with a slide rail, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is provided with a slider on the side near the lifting fixed bracket 21; a slider is also provided on the flip bracket 121. The lifting movable bracket 22 is provided with a slide rail on the side near the flip bracket 121; the slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail; thus achieving a sliding connection between the lifting movable bracket 22 and the lifting fixed bracket 21, and between the lifting movable bracket 22 and the flip bracket 121.

[0057] Two lifting fixed brackets 21, two lifting movable brackets 22 and two transmission components 24 are provided; two lifting movable brackets 22 are located between two lifting fixed brackets 21, and a lifting drive support 25 is connected between the two lifting movable brackets 22.

[0058] The transmission assembly 24 includes a first lifting transmission wheel 241, a second lifting transmission wheel 242, a lifting synchronous belt 243, a first synchronous belt fixing member 244, and a second synchronous belt fixing member 245; the output end of the lifting drive device 23 passes through the first lifting transmission wheel 241 and is connected to one end of the lifting movable support 22, and the second lifting transmission wheel 242 is rotatably disposed at the other end of the lifting movable support 22; the lifting synchronous belt 243 is sleeved on the first lifting transmission wheel 241 and the second lifting transmission wheel 242.

[0059] One end of the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 is fixedly connected to the lifting fixing bracket 21, and the other end of the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 is clamped on the lifting synchronous belt 243 on one side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241 and the lifting second transmission wheel 242; see reference Figure 4 As shown; the second synchronous belt fixing component 245 puts the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241 and the lifting second transmission wheel 242 onto the tilting bracket 121 and fixes it; the transmission component 24 is used to drive the lifting movable bracket 22 and the tilting device 12 to lift synchronously.

[0060] The lifting drive device 23 includes a lifting drive motor 231, a lifting drive gear 232, a lifting driven gear 233, and a lifting synchronous shaft 234. The lifting drive motor 231 is fixed on the lifting drive support 25, and the output end of the lifting drive motor 231 is connected to the lifting drive gear 232. The lifting driven gear 233 passes through the lifting synchronous shaft 234. One end of the lifting synchronous shaft 234 passes through a lifting first transmission wheel 241 and is rotatably connected to a lifting movable bracket 22. The other end of the lifting synchronous shaft 234 passes through another lifting first transmission wheel 241 and is rotatably connected to another lifting movable bracket 22. The lifting drive gear 232 meshes with the lifting driven gear 233.

[0061] The lifting device 2 drives the tilting device 12 to rise and fall, allowing the tilting device 12 to accommodate box-shaped materials of different heights. A lifting synchronous belt 243 on one side of the transmission assembly 24 is connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21. The transmission assembly 24 rotates in one direction, causing the lifting synchronous belt 243 to move. (Refer to...) Figure 11 In the W direction; the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves closer to the bottom end of the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 generates a force to drive the lifting fixed bracket 21 to move downward; since the lifting fixed bracket 21 is fixed on the frame 10, the lifting fixed bracket 21 cannot move, while the transmission component 24 is set on the lifting movable bracket 22, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, which will drive the lifting movable bracket 22 to move upward, so that the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, thereby realizing the lifting movable bracket 22 rising.

[0062] The transmission assembly 24 rotates in another direction to raise and lower the synchronous belt 243, as shown in the reference. Figure 11In the Q direction; the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves closer to the top of the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 generates a force to drive the lifting fixed bracket 21 to move upward; since the lifting fixed bracket 21 is fixed on the frame 10, the lifting fixed bracket 21 cannot move, while the transmission component 24 is set on the lifting movable bracket 22, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, which will drive the lifting movable bracket 22 to move downward, so that the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, thereby realizing the descent of the lifting movable bracket 22.

[0063] Meanwhile, a second synchronous belt fixing member 245 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the transmission assembly 24. Since the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on one side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241, and the second synchronous belt fixing member 245 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241, when the lifting movable support 22 rises, the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, so the second synchronous belt fixing member 245 moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, and the tilting support 121 rises at the same time; when the lifting movable support 22 falls, the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, so the second synchronous belt fixing member 245 moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, and the tilting support 121 falls at the same time; the tilting support 121 moves based on the movement of the lifting movable support 22, and the lifting height range of the tilting support 121 is large.

[0064] The method for turning materials over includes the following steps:

[0065] S1. If the material in the box needs to be flipped in a clockwise direction, proceed to S2; if the material in the box needs to be flipped in a counterclockwise direction, proceed to S6.

[0066] S2. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the first end of the arc-shaped slide groove, so that the flipping second support plate is located above the flipping first support plate.

[0067] S3. Place the box-shaped material on the flip support, and then proceed to S4. In this embodiment, the box-shaped material is placed on the flip support from top to bottom; the retractable adsorption device sucks up the box-shaped material and moves it toward the clearance space; when the box-shaped material comes into contact with the flip support, the adsorption device releases its adsorption on the box-shaped material; thus, the box-shaped material is placed on the flip support.

[0068] S4. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the second end of the arc-shaped slide, and the flipping support gradually rotates in a clockwise direction.

[0069] S5. When the flipping slider slides to the second end of the arc-shaped groove, the flipping first support plate is located above the flipping second support plate; the flipping support rotates clockwise by angle A; the rotation of the flipping support causes the box-shaped material to flip over.

[0070] S6. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the second end of the arc-shaped slide groove, so that the flipping first support plate is located above the flipping second support plate.

[0071] S7. Place the box-shaped material on the flip support, and then proceed to S8.

[0072] S8. The flipping drive device drives the flipping slider to move to the first end of the arc-shaped slide groove, and the flipping support gradually rotates in the counterclockwise direction.

[0073] S9. When the flipping slider slides to the first end of the arc-shaped chute, the flipping second support plate is located above the flipping first support plate; the flipping support rotates clockwise by angle A; the rotation of the flipping support causes the box-shaped material to flip over.

[0074] The above method determines whether the box-shaped material needs to be flipped clockwise or counterclockwise; adjusts the position of the flipping support; when clockwise flipping is required, the flipping support is moved to the first end of the arc-shaped chute; then, by moving the flipping support closer to the second end of the arc-shaped chute, the box-shaped material is flipped. Similarly, when counterclockwise flipping is required, the flipping support is moved to the second end of the arc-shaped chute; then, by moving the flipping support closer to the first end of the arc-shaped chute, the box-shaped material is flipped. Therefore, this method allows for flipping box-shaped materials in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions.

[0075] The above method

[0076] S1 also includes S10 if it is necessary to repeatedly flip the box-shaped material;

[0077] S10, proceed with S2-S5; then proceed with S8-S9.

[0078] The above method, by flipping the box-shaped material over and then repositioning it, can fully stir the filling material inside the box-shaped material.

[0079] S1 is followed by S0;

[0080] S0. The lifting device drives the tilting device to move, bringing it closer to the device that provides box-shaped materials. This facilitates the coordination of the tilting device with devices that provide box-shaped materials at different heights.
