Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transfer and transportation devices, and particularly to a mold box flipping and transfer system and a flipping and transfer method. Background Art

[0002] Mold box casting is one of the main ways of product forming. After the product is formed in the mold box, it is usually necessary to flip the mold box to complete the demolding work. Due to different specifications of the mold box, the structures of its flipping devices also vary.

[0003] When the mold box is small in size and light in weight, the clamping and flipping method is usually adopted, that is, by clamping both sides of the mold box to achieve the flipping of the mold box. In order to ensure that the mold box can be clamped, mating fixed structures are usually provided on the side of the mold box and the clamping device. For example, the patent document with the application number CN202021953850.0 discloses a hydraulic fastening device for a hydraulic flipping mold lifting machine, which realizes the clamping and fixing work by setting cross grooves on both sides of the mold and a cross fastening frame matching with the end of the telescopic rod at the end of the telescopic rod, so as to prevent the mold box from sliding on the clamping device during flipping. This flipping method requires special design of the mold box, that is, this flipping device can only be used for the flipping work of the mold box with cross grooves on both sides. Of course, there are also cases where other fastening devices are set on both sides of the mold box, such as setting fastening cylinders. The above-mentioned method of realizing the flipping of the mold box by setting fastening devices can only be used for specially customized (setting cross grooves or fastening cylinders) mold boxes, and the applicability is poor. At the same time, when the specifications of the mold box change, in order to make the flipping device also applicable, it is necessary to set fastening devices on both sides of the mold boxes of different specifications to achieve flipping, resulting in still large limitations in the use of the flipping device.

[0004] When the mold box is large in volume or heavy in weight, the usual method of clamping and fixing and then flipping will no longer be applicable, but the L-shaped rotating block method is adopted to complete the flipping of the mold box. For example, the patent document with the patent number CN202011592190.2 discloses a mold box block flipping workbench and a flipping and separating method for mold box blocks. Its rotating table part adopts a first tray and a second tray vertically arranged, and the mold box is fixed by the first tray, and the first tray is driven to rotate to complete the flipping work of the mold box. On this basis, there is also a method of setting a fixing device on the second tray. This kind of mold box flipping method also needs to set a fixing device on the clamping device or the tray to ensure the firmness of the mold box. Moreover, this kind of flipping device usually needs to move the mold box to a specified position in advance to complete the clamping, and the applicable mold box specifications are still relatively single. At the same time, the flipping position of this kind of mold box flipping device is fixed, resulting in still limitations in its use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a mold box turnover transfer system and turnover transfer method.

[0006] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0007] A mold box flipping and transferring system includes a transport module, a transverse movement module, a lifting module, a rotating module, a clamping module and an automatic locking module, wherein the transport module includes a transport frame, and the transverse movement modules are relatively provided with two groups, and the two groups of transverse movement modules are both connected to the upper end of the transport frame for transverse sliding. The rotating module is arranged below the transverse movement module through the lifting module, and can be driven to lift and lower through the lifting module. The clamping module is transmission-connected to the rotating module and can be driven to rotate through the rotating module. The flipping and transferring system also includes a control module, and the transport module, transverse movement module, lifting module, rotating module, clamping module and automatic locking module are all communicatively connected to the control module. The control module can control the movement of the transport module, thereby driving the overall movement of the flipping and transferring system. The control module can control the movement of the transverse movement module so that the clamping module connected thereto can adjust the distance according to the length of the mold box. The control module can control the movement of the lifting module, thereby adjusting the height of the clamping module. The clamping module can clamp the mold box, and the mold box is locked by the automatic locking module. The mold box completes the flipping work under the drive of the rotating module.

[0008] The cam is connected to the upper and lower ends of the driving member by a spring, and the cam is connected to the upper and lower ends of the driving member by a spring. Side rotation connection, in the natural state, the lower clamping jaw can be in a suspended shape due to its own gravity, that is, the sliding connection position between the main frame and the lower clamping jaw is located at the upper closed end of the slide groove, and when the upper clamping jaw cooperates with the upper end of the mold box, the lower clamping jaw can cooperate with the upper clamping jaw to clamp the mold box under the action of the clamping drive device through the downward movement of the main frame. At the same time, the initial height of the upper clamping jaw can be adjusted through the telescopic adjustment part, and then the distance between the clamping heads of the two clamping jaws is adjusted, so that the flipping and transfer system can be used for clamping and flipping of molds of different heights, and at the same time, in conjunction with the transverse movement module, the flipping and transfer system can be suitable for clamping and flipping of mold boxes of different lengths, and there is no need to set a fastening mechanism on the side of the mold box. The flipping work can be completed by the clamping work of the two clamping jaws, which significantly increases the applicability of the flipping and transfer system.

[0009] Furthermore, the automatic locking module includes a locking device connected to the main frame, and a locking mouth is provided on the lower jaw. The locking device is communicatively connected to the control module. The locking device can cooperate with the locking mouth under the control of the control module to complete the fixing of the lower jaw, and then complete the clamping of the upper jaw and the lower jaw. A distance sensor is also provided on the lower jaw or the upper jaw, and the distance sensor can detect the distance between the clamping heads on the two jaws. The telescopic adjustment part and the distance sensor are both communicatively connected to the control module, so that the flip transfer system can automatically adjust the size of the opening (that is, the distance between the clamping heads on the two jaws) according to the setting height of the mold box, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the mold box flipping and transferring system described above, two slide grooves are provided and located on both sides of the lower clamping jaw, so that when the mold box is flipped, the connection between the lower clamping jaw and the main frame is more secure, thereby making the clamping work of the clamping module more effective.

[0011] Further, two locking openings are provided opposite to each other and are respectively located in the two sliding grooves, and two locking devices are provided opposite to each other and are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the main frame, so that the lower clamping jaws can have a more significant fastening effect with the main frame under the action of the automatic locking module, preventing the risk of the mold box tilting or falling due to insufficient locking.

[0012] As a further preference, anti-slip teeth are also provided inside the clamping head, ensuring the clamping effect of the clamping head and preventing the relative sliding between the mold box and the clamping head from affecting the flipping and transporting of the mold box.

[0013] In a mold box flipping and transporting system as described above, an insertion interface is provided in the middle of the upper end of the lower clamping jaw. The lower clamping jaw includes an insertion joint at the lower end and is connected to the insertion interface by the insertion joint, enabling the two clamping jaws to move relatively vertically only under the action of the clamping driving device, making the sliding connection of the two clamping jaws more stable and reliable.

[0014] Further, both sides of the front end of the driving frame are respectively rotationally connected to both sides of the rear end of the lower clamping jaw, enabling the lower clamping jaw to clamp the mold box integrally under the action of the clamping driving device and ensuring the clamping effect of the lower clamping jaw.

[0015] Further, both ends of the telescopic adjustment part are respectively rotationally connected to the middle part of the rear side of the upper clamping jaw and the middle part of the upper side of the driving frame, enabling the upper clamping jaw to clamp the mold box integrally under the action of the clamping driving device and ensuring the clamping effect of the upper clamping jaw.

[0016] In a mold box flipping and transporting system as described above, the main frame includes a driving plate vertically arranged at its rear side. A rotating seat is provided at the rear side of the telescopic frame, and the rotating seat is detachably connected to the lower end of the driving plate, making the disassembly and assembly of the device simpler and facilitating the later maintenance work.

[0017] Further, the rotation module includes a rotation driving machine. The main frame is connected to the driving shaft of the rotation driving machine, and the horizontal plane where the driving shaft is located is between the clamping heads on the two clamping jaws. When the rotation driving machine drives the mold box to rotate, the rotation axis of the mold box can be close to the midline of the mold box along the length direction, making the flipping work of the mold box more labor-saving.

[0018] The present invention also provides a flipping and transporting method, which is based on the above-mentioned flipping and transporting system. Specifically, it at least includes the following steps:

[0019] (1). The control module pre-stores the length and height information of the mold box. This height information can be manually input or detected by another detection device. The lower clamping jaw hangs vertically at the lower front side of the main frame due to its own gravity;

[0020] (2) The control module controls the two transverse movement modules to move according to the length information of the mold box, so that the two clamping modules arranged below are respectively located outside both ends of the mold box.

[0021] (3) When step (2) is in progress or after step (2) is completed, the control module controls the telescopic adjustment part to expand and contract according to the height information of the mold box and the detection value of the distance sensor, and adjusts the distance between the clamping heads on the two jaws to be X. The value of X is greater than the height value of the mold box, and the difference from the height of the mold box is a fixed value, and the fixed value is Y. It should be noted that when the lower jaw hangs vertically at the lower front end of the main frame due to its own gravity, that is, when the sliding connection position of the main frame and the lower jaw is at the upper closed end of the chute, at this time, the horizontal plane where the locking hole is located is plane A, the horizontal plane where the locking device is located is plane B, and the horizontal plane where the locking device and the locking hole are located when they cooperate is plane C. And the value of Y is the sum of the relative displacement of the lower jaw when the locking hole rises from plane A to plane C and the relative displacement of the lower jaw when the locking device descends to plane C. And when ensuring that Y remains unchanged, when X is the sum of the height of the mold box and Y, if the lower clamping block can always clamp the mold box, the initial distance requirement between plane C and plane A and the initial distance requirement between plane C and plane B remain unchanged. That is to say, on the premise that the distance X between the clamping heads on the two jaws is the sum of Y and the height of the mold box, when the lower jaw clamps the mold box, the locking device can always coincide exactly with the locking hole, which is convenient for the locking work to be carried out.

[0022] (4) The control module controls the lifting module to act, driving the clamping module to rise or fall until the mold box is located between the planes where the clamping heads of the upper and lower jaws are located.

[0023] (5) The mold box moves and / or the control module controls the transport rack to move so that the mold box is located between the two clamping modules, specifically between the two clamping devices on both sides.

[0024] (6) The control module controls the two transverse movement modules to continue to move until the upper jaws and lower jaws of the two clamping modules are both in close contact with both ends of the mold box.

[0025] (7) The control module controls the lifting module to act, driving the clamping module to descend until the clamping head of the upper jaw fits with the upper end of the mold box and continues to descend.

[0026] (8) The upper jaw stops moving under the action of the mold box, and the lower jaw moves upward under the action of the clamping driving device until the clamping head of the lower jaw fits with the bottom end of the mold box. At this time, the two jaws cooperate to clamp the end of the mold box, and the locking port on the lower jaw is flush with the position of the locking device.

[0027] (9) The control module controls the lifting module to stop acting and controls the locking device to act. The locking device cooperates with the locking port to complete the locking work of the lower jaw.

[0028] (10) The control module controls the lifting module to act and drive the mold box to rise to a preset height, and controls the transport rack and / or the transverse movement module to move to transfer the mold box to a preset position;

[0029] (11) The control module controls the rotation module to work to complete the flipping of the mold box. After the flipping is completed, the rotation module acts to return the mold box to the upright position;

[0030] (12) The control module controls the transport rack, and / or, the transverse movement module, and / or, the lifting module to act and drive the mold box to move to a preset position or return to the original position;

[0031] (13) The control module controls the locking device to act to release the cooperation with the locking opening. Due to the release of the locking, the lower clamping jaw separates from the bottom end of the mold box under its own gravity and hangs at the lower front side of the main frame;

[0032] (14) The control module controls the transport rack, and / or, the transverse movement module, and / or, the lifting module to act to drive the clamping module to separate from the mold box.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] (1) The present invention is a mold box flipping and transferring system and a flipping and transferring method. The flipping and transferring system completes the clamping work at both ends of the mold box through two clamping jaws arranged in relative sliding, without the need to use a special mold or set a fastening structure on the mold, and can complete the clamping and flipping work of the mold box, significantly expanding the applicable range of the flipping and transferring system;

[0035] (2) The present invention is a mold box flipping and transferring system and a flipping and transferring method. Through the telescopic adjustment part, the adjustment of the opening between the two clamping jaws (i.e., the distance between the clamping heads on the two clamping jaws) can be adjusted. Cooperating with two groups of transverse movement modules arranged oppositely, the flipping and transferring system can be applied to the flipping and transferring work of mold boxes of various specifications, further ensuring that the flipping and transferring system has high applicability;

[0036] (3) The present invention is a mold box flipping and transferring system and a flipping and transferring method. The clamping work of the mold box can be realized by driving the main frame to move downward by the lifting module, and at the same time, cooperating with the locking device can maintain the clamping state, making the clamping work of the mold box simpler and easier to control;

[0037] (4) The present invention is a mold box flipping and transferring system and a flipping and transferring method. The setting of the control module enables the flipping and transferring system to automatically perform the box flipping and transferring operation according to the set values, saving labor costs and making the flipping and transferring work of the mold box more intelligent and automated.

The rotation module 4 is arranged below the transverse movement module 2 through the lifting module 3 and can be driven to move up and down by the lifting module 3. The clamping module 5 is transmission-connected to the rotation module 4 and can be driven to rotate by the rotation module 4. The clamping module 5 is used for clamping the mold box 6 on the production line 7.

The clamping module 5 can clamp the mold box 6, and the automatic locking module can lock the mold box 6. The mold box 6 completes the flipping work under the drive of the rotation module 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the mold box 6 is transported horizontally and linearly along the production line 7.

A horizontal frame 11 is horizontally arranged between the upper ends of the vertical frames 13 on both sides. The lower ends of the vertical frames 13 are also provided with walking wheels 14, and the movement of the transport frame can be completed by the walking wheels 14.

[0052] Furthermore, a travel drive motor (not shown) is provided on one side of the travel wheel 14 , and the travel drive motor is communicatively connected to the control module and its operation is controlled by the control module.

[0053] In this embodiment, a slide is horizontally provided on the cross frame 11, and the cross-moving module 2 is provided with two groups, which include cross-moving blocks.

[0054] Furthermore, two screw rods are provided along the length direction of the cross frame 11, and both ends of the screw rods are rotatably connected to the two ends of the cross frame 11. The two cross-moving blocks are respectively a first cross-moving block and a second cross-moving block, and the first cross-moving block and the second cross-moving block are provided with threaded holes and sliding holes, one of the screw rods passes through the threaded hole on the first cross-moving block and the sliding hole on the second cross-moving block, and is threadedly connected to the first cross-moving block, and the other screw rod passes through the threaded hole on the second cross-moving block and the sliding hole on the first cross-moving block, and is threadedly connected to the second cross-moving block. The specification of the sliding hole is larger than the diameter of the screw rod. A cross-moving drive motor 12 is provided at both ends of the cross frame 11, and the cross-moving drive motor 12 is communicatively connected to the control module and its action is controlled by the control module. The two cross-moving drive motors 12 are respectively connected to the two screw rods for driving the two screw rods to rotate, thereby controlling the displacement of the two cross-moving blocks.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lifting module 3 is a telescopic cylinder, and two telescopic cylinders are provided and respectively connected to two transverse blocks. Specifically, the telescopic cylinder is vertically arranged below the transverse block, and one end of the cylinder body is connected to the transverse block. The telescopic cylinder is communicatively connected to the control module and is controlled to extend and retract by the control module.

[0056] In this embodiment, the rotating module 4 is provided with two groups and is respectively located at the lower end of the two telescopic cylinders and is arranged opposite to each other. The rotating module 4 includes a connecting block 41. The clamping module 5 is provided with two groups and is respectively located on the inner side of the two connecting blocks 41 and is arranged opposite to each other. The clamping module 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 41, and the rotation axes of the two clamping modules 5 are horizontal and collinear.

[0057] Furthermore, the rotating module 4 also includes a rotating drive motor 42, the connecting block 41 includes a connecting shaft that is rotatably arranged in the middle and is connected to the clamping module 5 through the connecting shaft, the rotating drive motor is located on the outside of one of the connecting blocks 41, and the driving shaft is connected to the connecting shaft, the rotating drive motor 42 is communicated with the control module and is controlled by the control module, thereby driving the connecting shaft to rotate, and finally driving the clamping module 5 to rotate to complete the flipping of the mold box 6.

[0058] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 2 - 4 The clamping module 5 includes a main frame 51, and the main frame 51 includes a connecting frame 511. One end of the connecting frame 511 is located at the rear side of the main frame 51 and a rotation drive connecting port 5111 is provided in the middle. The rotation drive connecting port 5111 includes a circular mounting portion, that is, a notch fixing portion on one side of the mounting portion. The structure of one end of the connecting shaft connected to the main frame 51 cooperates with the rotation drive connecting port 5111, and is inserted into the rotation drive connecting port 5111 and fixed by a fixing piece.

[0059] The main frame 51 further includes a clamping frame, which is a vertically arranged rectangular parallelepiped frame structure. The connecting frame 511 includes a U-shaped structure, and its two sides at the front end are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the clamping frame. The rear end is located at the rear side of the clamping frame, and a rotary drive connection port 5111 is arranged in the middle.

[0060] As the main technical concept of the present invention, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the clamping module 5 further includes a clamping device 52 and a clamping drive device 53 at the rear side thereof. The clamping drive device 53 is used to drive the clamping device 52 to clamp the mold box 6.

[0061] Specifically, the clamping device 52 includes a lower clamping jaw 521 and an upper clamping jaw 522 which is vertically slidably arranged at the upper end thereof. Clamping heads 5211 are arranged at the lower end of the lower clamping jaw 521 and the front side of the upper end of the upper clamping jaw 522. The distance between the two clamping heads 5211 can be adjusted by the relative sliding of the two clamping jaws, so as to clamp or loosen the mold box 6. In terms of the insertion relationship between the two clamping jaws, the lower clamping jaw 521 includes a vertically arranged lower clamping plate, and an insertion port is arranged in the middle of the upper end of the lower clamping plate. The lower clamping jaw 521 includes an upper clamping plate, and an insertion joint is arranged at the lower end of the upper clamping plate and is inserted and connected to the insertion port through the insertion joint, so that the two clamping jaws can only move relatively vertically under the action of the clamping drive device 53, making the sliding connection between the two clamping jaws more stable and reliable. The clamping head 5211 includes a strip-shaped plate and is horizontally arranged on the front side of the two clamping plates. Reinforcing ribs 5212 are arranged between the upper side of the clamping head 5211 on the upper clamping plate and the upper clamping plate, and between the lower side of the clamping head 5211 on the lower clamping plate and the lower clamping plate, to ensure the connection strength of the clamping head 5211. Anti-slip teeth are also arranged on the inner side of the clamping head 5211, ensuring the clamping effect of the clamping head 5211 and preventing the relative sliding between the mold box 6 and the clamping head 5211 from affecting the flipping and transportation of the mold box 6.

[0062] Furthermore, a chute 5213 is vertically arranged on the lower clamping jaw 521. The upper end of the chute 5213 is closed, and the lower clamping jaw 521 is vertically slidably arranged on the front side of the main frame 51 through the chute 5213.

[0063] As a preferred implementation scheme, two chutes 5213 are arranged and are respectively located on both sides of the lower clamping jaw 521, specifically on both sides of the lower clamping plate, so that when the mold box 6 is flipped, the connection between the lower clamping jaw 521 and the main frame 51 is more firm, and further the clamping work of the clamping module 5 can be more effective.

[0064] It should be noted that the connecting shaft is collinear with the drive shaft of the rotary drive machine 42, and the horizontal plane where the connecting shaft is located is between the clamping heads 5211 on the two clamping jaws. When the rotary drive machine 42 drives the mold box 6 to rotate, the rotation axis of the mold box 6 can be close to the midline of the mold box 6 along the length direction, making the flipping work of the mold box 6 more labor-saving.

[0065] Further, the clamping drive device 53 includes a telescopic adjustment part and a drive frame 531. Among them, the drive frame 531 includes three telescopic sleeves arranged in parallel. The three telescopic sleeves are coplanar and are connected by fixed rods between adjacent sleeves. The closed ends of the three sleeves are located on the same side of the drive frame 531 (i.e., the front side of the drive frame 531). The front side of the drive frame 531 is rotatably connected to the lower clamping jaw 521. The telescopic adjustment part is a linear adjustment motor 532, and its two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the upper clamping jaw 522 and the drive frame 531. The linear adjustment motor 532 is in communication connection with the control module and is controlled by the control module to act.

[0066] Preferably, the closed ends of the three telescopic sleeves are all rotatably connected to the lower clamping jaw 521, that is, the closed ends of the two side telescopic sleeves and the middle telescopic sleeve are respectively rotatably connected to the two sides and the middle of the rear end of the lower clamping jaw 521, so that the lower clamping jaw 521 can integrally clamp the mold box 6 under the action of the clamping drive device 53, ensuring the clamping effect of the lower clamping jaw 521. At the same time, the two ends of the linear adjustment motor 532 are respectively connected to the middle part of the rear side of the upper clamping jaw 522 and the middle part of the upper side of the drive frame 531, that is, the middle part of the middle telescopic sleeve, so that the upper clamping jaw 522 can integrally clamp the mold box 6 under the action of the clamping drive device 53, ensuring the clamping effect of the upper clamping jaw 522.

[0067] Further, the clamping drive device 53 further includes a telescopic frame 533 located at the rear side of the drive frame 531. The telescopic frame 533 includes three telescopic rods telescopically connected to the telescopic sleeves. The outer ends of the three telescopic rods are fixedly connected and are rotatably connected to the rear side of the main frame 51, specifically, the rear side of the clamping frame.

[0068] Further, in the natural state, the lower clamping jaw 521 can be in a hanging state due to its own gravity, that is, the sliding connection position between the main frame 51 and the lower clamping jaw 521 is located at the upper closed end of the chute 5213. And when the upper clamping jaw 522 cooperates with the upper end of the mold box 6, through the downward movement of the main frame 51, the lower clamping jaw 521 can cooperate with the upper clamping jaw 522 to clamp the mold box 6 under the action of the clamping drive device 53. At the same time, the initial height of the upper clamping jaw 522 can be adjusted through the linear adjustment motor 532, and then the distance between the clamping heads 5211 of the two clamping jaws can be adjusted, so that the flipping and transporting system can be used for the clamping and flipping work of molds with different heights. At the same time, in cooperation with the transverse movement module 2, the flipping and transporting system can be applicable to the clamping and flipping work of mold boxes 6 with different lengths, and there is no need to set a fastening mechanism on the side of the mold box 6. It can complete the flipping work through the clamping work of the two clamping jaws, significantly increasing the applicability of the flipping and transporting system.

[0069] Further, the main frame 51 further includes a driving plate 512 vertically arranged at the rear side of the clamping frame. The upper end of the driving plate 512 is connected to the upper end of the clamping frame. A rotating seat 534 is rotatably arranged at the rear side of the telescopic frame 533. A socket is arranged in the middle of the rotating seat 534. The lower end of the driving plate 512 is detachably plugged and connected to the rotating seat 534 through the socket on the rotating seat 534, making the disassembly and assembly of the device simpler and facilitating the later maintenance work.

[0070] In this embodiment, the automatic locking module includes a locking device connected to the main frame 51. A locking port 5214 is arranged on the lower clamping jaw 521. The locking device is a telescopic locking motor 8, which is communicatively connected to the control module and controlled by the control module to act. The telescopic locking motor 8 can cooperate with the locking port 5214 under the control of the control module to complete the fixing work of the lower clamping jaw 521, and further complete the clamping work of the upper clamping jaw 522 and the lower clamping jaw 521.

[0071] Further, a distance sensor 9 is also arranged at the rear side of the lower clamping jaw 521. The distance sensor 9 is communicatively connected to the control module and used to transmit distance information. A detection plate is arranged at the relative position on the upper clamping jaw 522. The distance between the clamping heads 5211 on the two clamping jaws can be detected through the distance sensor 9. Of course, the distance sensor 9 can also be arranged on the upper clamping plate, and there is no excessive limitation here. The linear adjustment motor 532 and the distance sensor 9 are both communicatively connected to the control module, so that the flipping and transporting system can automatically adjust the size of the opening (i.e., the distance between the clamping heads 5211 on the two clamping jaws) according to the set height of the mold box 6, increasing the practicability of the device.

[0072] Further, two locking ports 5214 are arranged oppositely and are respectively located in the two sliding grooves 5213. Two deep locking motors are arranged oppositely and are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the clamping frame, making the fastening effect of the lower clamping jaw 521 and the main frame 51 more significant under the action of the automatic locking module, preventing the risk of the mold box 6 tilting or falling due to insufficient locking.

[0073] In order to enable those skilled in the art to understand this solution more clearly, this embodiment also provides a flipping and transporting method. This method is based on the above flipping and transporting system. Specifically, it at least includes the following steps:

[0074] (1). The length and height information of the mold box 6 are pre-stored in the control module. This height information can be obtained by manual input or detected by another detection device. The lower clamping jaw 521 hangs vertically at the lower front side of the main frame 51 due to its own gravity, that is, at the lower front side of the clamping frame.

[0075] (2) The control module controls the transverse movement module 2 to move according to the length information of the mold box 6, that is, by controlling the actions of the two transverse driving motors 12, to control the movement of the two transverse blocks, so that the two clamping modules 5 provided below are respectively located outside both ends of the mold box 6;

[0076] (3) When step (2) is in progress or after step (2) is completed, the control module controls the linear adjustment motor 532 to extend and retract according to the height information of the mold box 6 and the detection value of the distance sensor 9, and adjusts the distance between the clamping heads 5211 on the two jaws to be X. The value of X is greater than the height value of the mold box 6, and the difference from the height of the mold box 6 is a fixed value, and the fixed value is Y. It should be noted that when the lower jaw 521 hangs vertically at the front lower end of the clamping frame due to its own gravity, that is, when the sliding connection position of the clamping frame and the lower jaw 521 is at the upper closed end of the chute 5213, at this time, the horizontal plane where the locking hole is located is plane A, the horizontal plane where the telescopic locking motor 8 is located is plane B, and when the telescopic locking motor 8 and the locking hole are flush and in a matching state, the horizontal plane where they are located is plane C. When the locking hole rises from plane A to plane C, the relative displacement of the lower jaw 521 is Z. When the telescopic locking motor 8 descends to plane C, the relative displacement of the lower jaw 521 is S, and Y = Z + S. On the premise of ensuring that Y remains unchanged, when X is the sum of the height of the mold box 6 and Y, if the lower clamping block can always clamp the mold box 6, the initial distance requirements between plane C and plane A and the initial distance requirements between plane C and plane B remain unchanged. That is to say, on the premise that the distance X between the clamping heads 5211 on the two jaws is the sum of Y and the height of the mold box 6, when the lower jaw 521 clamps the mold box 6, the telescopic locking device can always coincide exactly with the locking hole, which is convenient for the locking operation;

[0077] (4) The control module controls the telescopic cylinder to act, driving the clamping module 5 to rise or fall until the mold box 6 is located between the planes where the clamping heads 5211 of the upper and lower jaws are located;

[0078] (5) The mold box 6 moves along the production line 7 and / or the control module controls the traveling driving motor to control the movement of the transport rack, so that the mold box 6 is located between the two clamping modules 5, specifically between the clamping devices 52 on both sides;

[0079] (6) The control module controls the two transverse blocks to continue to move until the clamping plates of the upper jaws 522 and the lower jaws 521 of the two clamping modules 5 are both tightly attached to both ends of the mold box 6;

[0080] (7) The control module controls the telescopic cylinder to act, driving the clamping module 5 to descend until the clamping head 5211 of the upper jaw 522 is in contact with the upper end of the mold box 6 and continues to descend;

[0081] (8) The upper clamping jaw 522 stops moving under the blocking action of the die box 6. The lower clamping jaw 521 moves upward under the action of the clamping driving device 53 until the clamping head 5211 of the lower clamping jaw 521 fits against the bottom end of the die box 6. At this time, the two clamping jaws cooperate to clamp the end of the die box 6, and the locking port 5214 on the lower clamping jaw 521 is flush with the position of the telescopic locking motor 8.

[0082] (9) The control module controls the telescopic cylinder to stop operating and controls the telescopic locking motor 8 to operate. The telescopic locking motor 8 cooperates with the locking port 5214 to complete the locking work of the lower clamping jaw 521.

[0083] (10) The control module controls the telescopic cylinder to operate to drive the die box 6 to rise to a preset height, and controls the transport rack and / or the transverse movement module 2 to move to transfer the die box 6 to a preset position.

[0084] (11) The control module controls the rotation drive motor 42 to operate to complete the flipping work of the die box 6. After the flipping is completed, the rotation module 4 operates to return the die box 6 to the upright position.

[0085] (12) The control module controls the transport rack, and / or, the transverse movement module 2, and / or, the lifting module 3 to operate to drive the die box 6 to move to a preset position or return to the original position.

[0086] (13) The control module controls the telescopic locking motor 8 to operate to release the cooperation with the locking port 5214. Due to the release of the locking, the lower clamping jaw 521 separates from the bottom end of the die box 6 under its own gravity and slides down to hang at the lower front side of the clamping frame.

[0087] (14) The control module controls the transport rack, and / or, the transverse movement module 2, and / or, the lifting module 3 to operate to drive the clamping module 5 to move to completely separate from the die box 6.
