[0020] This invention proposes a mechanism that integrates conveying, flipping, and applying auxiliary materials.

Figure 2 This is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the flipping component in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the mechanism integrating conveying, flipping, and applying auxiliary materials includes: a conveying component 100, a flipping component 200, a positioning component 300, and an applying auxiliary material component 400. The flipping component 200 is embedded within the conveying component 100. The positioning component 300 is located below the conveying component 100 and directly below the flipping component 200. The applying auxiliary material component 400 is located at one end of the conveying component 100 and can move to directly above the flipping component 200.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the conveying assembly 100 includes: a pallet 1, a roller assembly 2, and a first lifting cylinder 3. The pallet 1 is fixed on the frame. The pallet 1 has clearance holes corresponding to the rollers on the roller assembly 2. The rollers protrude from their corresponding clearance holes and convey the workpiece along the length of the pallet 1, thereby enabling the workpiece to move along the length of the pallet 1 under the transmission action of the rollers. The roller assembly 2 is an existing structure and can also be replaced by an existing roller conveyor. The first lifting cylinder 3 is located at the bottom of the pallet 1 and is fixed on the frame. The pallet 1 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the first lifting cylinder 3, thereby enabling the first lifting cylinder 3 to lift the pallet 1, causing the workpiece on the pallet 1 to disengage from the rollers and stop moving along the length of the pallet 1.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the flipping assembly 200 includes: a first electric lead screw 4 vertically connected to the frame; a flipping motor 5 fixed to the movable block of the first electric lead screw 4; a fork plate 6 connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor 5; and several suction cups 7 fixed to the fork plate 6. The workpiece can move along the length of the pallet 1 onto the fork plate 6 and be attracted by the suction cups 7 on the fork plate 6. Figure 1 As shown, the top of the pallet 1 is provided with a receiving groove 8. The first electric lead screw 4 can drive the fork plate 6 to be placed in the receiving groove 8, so that the fork plate 6 can be lower than the surface of the pallet 1, so that the workpiece can move smoothly onto the fork plate 6.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly 200 also includes a second electric lead screw 9 and a third electric lead screw 10. The second electric lead screw 9 is fixed on the frame along the length direction of the pallet 1, and the third electric lead screw 10 is fixed on the movable block of the second electric lead screw 9 along the width direction of the pallet 1. The first electric lead screw 4 is connected and fixed to the movable block of the third electric lead screw 10, so that after the fork plate 6 adsorbs the workpiece, it can not only move up and down in the vertical direction to obtain the flipping space, but also move horizontally back and forth and left and right to place the flipped workpiece at a designated position on the pallet 1.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning assembly 300 includes: a mounting plate 11 horizontally fixed to the frame along the width direction of the pallet 1; a fourth electric lead screw 12 fixed to both ends of the mounting plate 11; a positioning fork 13 connected to the movable block of the fourth electric lead screw 12; and a lever 14 protruding from the pallet 1 fixed to both ends of the positioning fork 13. When the workpiece moves directly above the mounting plate 11, the two fourth electric lead screws 12 move, causing the positioning fork 13 to move towards the center, thereby driving the lever 14 to also move towards the center, achieving the alignment and positioning of the workpiece.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary material application assembly 400 includes: a fifth electric lead screw 15 fixed to the frame along the length of the pallet 1; a sixth electric lead screw 16 arranged along the width of the pallet 1 connected to the movable block of the fifth electric lead screw 15; a second lifting cylinder 17 connected to the movable block of the sixth electric lead screw 16; and an auxiliary material head 18 connected to the piston end of the second lifting cylinder 17. The auxiliary material head 18 is connected to an external feeding device to provide auxiliary material. When the workpiece is aligned and positioned, the fifth electric lead screw 15, the sixth electric lead screw 16, and the second lifting cylinder 17 work together to drive the auxiliary material head 18 to actuate, thereby applying the auxiliary material to the surface of the workpiece.

[0028] The working principle of this novel technical solution is as follows: The workpiece flows from upstream to the roller assembly 2 and is conveyed along the length of the pallet 1 to above the fork plate 6. Then, the first electric screw 4 and the suction cup 7 on the fork plate 6 are activated, causing the suction cup 7 to hold the workpiece. Then, the first electric screw 4 continues to rise, giving the workpiece room to flip, and the flipping motor 5 is activated, which drives the fork plate 6 to flip the workpiece. Then, the first electric screw 4 descends, placing the workpiece on the pallet 1. The suction cup 7 stops adsorbing. When the workpiece moves directly above the mounting plate 11, the pallet 1 rises under the action of the first lifting cylinder 3, so that the workpiece, after being placed on the pallet 1, detaches from the roller assembly 2. The two fourth electric screws 12 move, causing the positioning fork 13 to move towards the center, thereby driving the lever 14 to also move towards the center, achieving the alignment and positioning of the workpiece. The workpiece can be moved to the top of the mounting plate 11 via the roller assembly 2, or it can be placed directly above the mounting plate 11 under the linkage of the second electric lead screw 9 and the third electric lead screw 10. In this embodiment, the linkage of the second electric lead screw 9 and the third electric lead screw 10 is used. Then, the fifth electric lead screw 15, the sixth electric lead screw 16, and the second lifting cylinder 17 are linked to drive the auxiliary material head 18 to move, attaching the auxiliary material to the surface of the workpiece. Finally, the first lifting cylinder 3 drives the pallet 1 to descend, and the workpiece with the auxiliary material attached contacts the roller assembly 2 and flows to the next station under the transmission action of the roller assembly 2.

[0029] The technical solution of this invention integrates the conveying, flipping and attaching of auxiliary materials into one unit. There is some overlap in space. Compared with the "I" type layout, the layout of this mechanism is more compact, saving the space required for the equipment, greatly reducing the overall size of the equipment, the floor space occupied, the operating cost, and making the equipment more user-friendly.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a material blocking assembly 19, which further includes a third lifting cylinder 20 fixed on the frame and a baffle 21 fixed to the piston end of the third lifting cylinder 20. When the previous workpiece with the auxiliary material applied has completely moved to the next station, the third lifting cylinder 20 drives the baffle 21 to descend, allowing the currently applied workpiece to pass through. This provides a waiting area for the applied workpiece before it flows to the next station, making the connection between processes more rhythmic.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
