[0018] Further, the second conveying belt is provided with a limiting plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0020] 1. The present application comprises a first conveying belt for conveying a flat steel plate, a second conveying belt arranged at the right side of the first conveying belt for conveying a standing steel plate, a turnover mechanism arranged between the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt for turning over the steel plate by 90 degrees, and a positioning mechanism arranged at the right end of the first conveying belt for positioning the steel plate; the first conveying belt continuously conveys the steel plate to the right, the turnover mechanism turns over the flat steel plate by 90 degrees to stand up and places it on the second conveying belt, and the second conveying belt intervally conveys the steel plate to the right, so as to realize automatic standing up of the steel plate.

[0021] 2. The flipping mechanism in this invention includes a rotating shaft located at the right end of the first conveyor belt and flipping wheels symmetrically arranged on the rotating shaft. The outer arc of each flipping wheel has several slots. The first conveyor belt transports the steel plate to the right, and the flipping wheels rotate continuously. When a slot rotates to its upper end, the horizontal part of the slot corresponds to the output plane of the first conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt then transports the steel plate to the right to the slot. As the flipping wheels flip, the steel plate flips to a vertical position and is supported on the second conveyor belt, achieving automatic flipping and standing of the steel plate. This reduces labor intensity, has a compact cycle time, and high efficiency. The symmetrical arrangement of the flipping wheels ensures balanced force on the steel plate and good stability. When the steel plate stands upright on the second conveyor belt, the flipping wheels press against the leftmost steel plate to prevent it from falling.

A drive head, cooperating with the right end of the drive rod, is located on the opposite side of the rear side of the drive wheel. The two swing arms are connected by a connecting rod, and the drive rod is connected to the support of the first conveyor belt by a tension spring. Under normal conditions, under the action of the tension spring, the positioning head swings to its innermost position. When the drive wheel rotates until the drive head contacts the drive rod, the drive rod overcomes the elastic force of the tension spring and swings outward. At this time, under the action of the drive rod, swing arms, and connecting rod, the positioning heads on both sides open synchronously without obstructing the steel plate. When the tilting wheel rotates, the mechanical structure drives the opening or closing of the positioning heads, resulting in good reliability and a compact cycle. Furthermore, no separate drive mechanism is needed to drive the opening or closing of the positioning heads, resulting in low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a steel plate conveying and stacking upright arrangement mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 1 for conveying flat steel plates, a second conveyor belt 2 disposed on the right side of the first conveyor belt 1 for conveying upright steel plates, a flipping mechanism disposed between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 for flipping the steel plates 90 degrees, and a positioning mechanism disposed on the right end of the first conveyor belt 1 for positioning the steel plates; the first conveyor belt continuously conveys steel plates to the right, the flipping mechanism flips the flat steel plates 90 degrees to stand them up and places them on the second conveyor belt, and the second conveyor belt conveys steel plates to the right at intervals, thereby realizing the automatic standing of the steel plates.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the flipping mechanism includes a rotating shaft 3 located at the right end of the first conveyor belt 1 and flipping wheels 4 symmetrically arranged on the rotating shaft 3. The outer arc of the flipping wheel 4 has several slots 5. In this embodiment, there are two slots, located at opposite ends of the flipping wheel 4. The first conveyor belt 1 conveys the steel plate to the right, and the flipping wheel 4 rotates continuously. When a slot 5 rotates to its upper end, its horizontal portion corresponds to the output plane of the first conveyor belt 1. The first conveyor belt 1 then conveys the steel plate to the right to the slot 5. As the flipping wheel 4 flips, the steel plate flips to a vertical position and is supported on the second conveyor belt 2, achieving automatic flipping and standing of the steel plate. This reduces labor intensity, has a compact cycle time, and high efficiency. The symmetrical arrangement of the flipping wheels 4 ensures balanced force on the steel plate and good stability. When the steel plate stands upright on the second conveyor belt, the flipping wheel presses against the leftmost steel plate to prevent it from falling.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning head 6 symmetrically arranged on the support of the first conveyor belt 1 for positioning the rightmost steel plate. The left end of the outer side of the positioning head 6 is rotatably connected to the support of the first conveyor belt 1. When the rotating wheel 4 rotates, it drives the positioning head 6 to swing through the linkage mechanism. Under normal circumstances, the positioning head 6 positions the rightmost steel plate. When the slot 5 rotates to the top, the positioning head 6 releases the steel plate, and the first conveyor belt 1 transports the rightmost steel plate into the slot 5. As the rotating wheel 4 rotates, the positioning head 6 positions the second to last steel plate from the right. The steel plate conveying cycle is compact.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the linkage mechanism includes a column 7 located on the left end of the outer side of the positioning head 6, swing rods 8 respectively located at the bottom of the two columns 7, a drive rod 9 fixedly located at the bottom of the rear column 7, and a drive wheel 10 located at the rear end of the rotating shaft of the tilting wheel 4. A drive head 11, which cooperates with the right end of the drive rod 9, is located on the opposite side of the rear side of the drive wheel 10. The two swing rods 8 are connected by a connecting rod 12, and the drive rod 9 is connected to the support of the first conveyor belt 1 by a tension spring 13. Under normal conditions, under the action of the tension spring 13, the positioning head 6 swings to its innermost position. The drive wheel 10 rotates until the drive head 11 contacts the drive rod 9. At this time, the drive rod 9 overcomes the elastic force of the tension spring 13 and swings outward. Under the action of the drive rod 9, the swing rods 8, and the connecting rod 12, the positioning heads 6 on both sides open synchronously without obstructing the steel plate. When the tilting wheel 4 rotates, the opening or closing of the positioning heads 6 is driven by a mechanical structure, resulting in good reliability and a compact cycle. Furthermore, no separate drive mechanism is required to drive the opening or closing of the positioning heads 6, thus reducing costs.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer surface of the drive head 11 is an inclined plane.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the right end of the front swing rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front column 7, the front end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the left end of the front swing rod 8, the left end of the rear swing rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rear column 7, and the rear end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the right end of the rear swing rod 8.
