[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration and not for limiting the invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a board-turning and drying device includes a drying rack 1, a traveling seat 2, a clamping device 4, and a first telescopic device 3. The traveling seat 2 travels on the drying rack 1. The clamping device 4 includes a clamping base 41, a sliding rod 45, a fixed plate 42, a clamping plate 43, and a second telescopic device 44. The sliding rod 45 is slidably connected to the clamping base 41, and the fixed plate 42 is fixedly connected to the clamping base 41 and the fixed plate 43 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 45. The second telescopic device 44 is installed on the clamping base 41 and its extended end is connected to the sliding rod 45, controlling the movement of the clamping plate relative to the fixed plate 42 to clamp the board. The upper end of the clamping base 41 is hinged to the traveling seat 2. The first telescopic device 3 and the clamping device 4 are provided on both sides of the traveling direction of the traveling seat 2, which can improve the clamping stability. The output end of the first telescopic device 3 is connected to the clamping base 41 to control the clamping base 41 to turn, which can realize the gripping of the board in the horizontal state and automatically turn it to the vertical state for easy drying, with high efficiency.

[0024] To further improve drying efficiency, multiple hanging robotic arms 5 are slidably attached to the drying rack 1. A linear drive device 23 is installed in the traveling base 2, and the output end of the linear drive device 23 is connected to a pressure plate 24. The hanging robotic arms 5 include a sliding hinged robotic arm 51 and a spring trigger rod 52. The pressure plate 24 can open and close the hanging robotic arms 5 by pressing the sliding hinged robotic arm 51 with the spring trigger rod 52. The traveling base 2 includes a base 22, a lifting drive device, and a lifting seat 21. The lifting drive device is mounted on the base 22 and its output end is connected to the lifting seat 21. The first extension... The retraction device 3 is hinged to the lifting seat 21; after the first telescopic device 3 is retracted, the board can be in a vertical state, hanging below the clamping robot 5. At this time, the first robot can rise together with the lifting seat 21 and deliver the board to the clamping robot 5. The output end of the linear drive device 23 retracts to clamp the board, realizing the hanging on the drying rack 1. Furthermore, the clamping robot 5 can move cyclically on the drying rack 1 through chain drive and transmission belt, so it can easily send the wet board to the drying location or send the dried board back. The whole process is fully automated, which can greatly save manpower and improve efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, to facilitate the recycling of sheet or sheet materials, a vertical drive device is fixedly installed on the drying rack 1. This device can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor. The output end of the vertical drive device is connected to a secondary pressure plate. By driving the secondary pressure plate to move downward and press the spring trigger rod, the lifting manipulator 5 is opened.

[0026] Meanwhile, in order to ensure the accuracy of the entire transportation process, the walking seat 2 is equipped with a first sensor for identifying the flipping angle of the clamping device 4 and a second sensor for identifying the lifting manipulator 5.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, the lifting seat 21 is rotatably connected to a synchronous gear on the lower side to improve the lifting stability. The lifting seat 21 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base 22. A synchronous rack is provided on the inner side of the base 22. The synchronous gear is meshed with the synchronous rack. The walking seat 2 also includes a walking motor, which is meshed with the drying rack 1 through gears.

[0028] To improve the flatness of the board when it is placed vertically, a limiting plate 46 is connected between the clamping devices 4 on both sides for synchronously driving the clamping devices 4 on both sides.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the clamping device 4, a multi-layer feeding device 6 is also provided. The multi-layer feeding device 6 is arranged in the feeding direction of the clamping device 4. The multi-layer feeding device 6 includes a multi-layer material rack 63, a support frame 61 and a feeding lifting device 62. The output end of the feeding lifting device 62 is connected to the multi-layer material rack 63, and the multi-layer material rack 63 is slidably connected to the support frame 61.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the sheet material can be clamped smoothly, the sheet material needs to be sorted. A linear propulsion device 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 61, and a vertical plate 65 is connected to the output end of the linear propulsion device 64. A support plate 67 for supporting the sheet material is provided on the other side of the support frame 61. A linear pusher device 66 can also be provided on the other side of the support plate 67.

[0031] To balance lifting force and efficiency, the number of fixing plates 42 and clamping plates of the clamping device 4 is equal, with 7 in each case. The multi-layer material rack 63 is equipped with a material placement platform with more than 7 layers. To save costs, cylinders are used for the first telescopic device 3, the second telescopic device 44, the linear drive device 23, the lifting drive device, the linear propulsion device 64, and the linear pushing device 66.

[0032] Furthermore, to prevent misalignment during the stacking of recycled boards, a recycling rack is installed below the vertical drive device. Similar in structure to the multi-layer feeding device 6, the recycling rack is equipped with a board sorting device and a recycling material lifting device. The board sorting mechanism is similar to the linear propulsion device 64, and the recycling material lifting device is similar to the feeding lifting device 62. Both can sort the boards. The difference is that the feeding lifting device 62 is connected to a single-layer support plate, which supports the boards. At the same time, a return wheel hub is hinged on the recycling rack. After the boards are transported back from the other side on the drying rack 1, they will first abut against the return wheel hub, tilt, and then the vertical drive device controls the opening and closing of the clamping manipulator 5. This prevents the boards from falling in a vertical state and turning to the other side, causing misalignment. This facilitates efficient sorting of the boards after drying.

[0033] The work process is as follows:

[0034] After the processed damp board is sent to the multi-layer material rack 63, it is lifted to a designated height by the feeding lifting device 62. The travel motor controls the base 22 to move towards the multi-layer material rack 63, the first telescopic device 3 extends and drives the clamping seat 41 to flip, the linear drive device 23 drives the clamping plate 43 away from the fixed plate 42, and then the travel motor controls the base 22 to move towards the multi-layer material rack 63 until the board is placed between the clamping plate 43 and the fixed plate 42. Then the linear drive device 23 drives the clamping plate 43 to move closer to the fixed plate 42 to achieve clamping. Then the travel motor retracts, the first telescopic device 3 retracts, the board flips to a vertical position, the linear drive device 23 controls the lifting manipulator 5 to open, and then the lifting drive device controls the board to move upward and be sent to the lifting manipulator 5. Afterwards, the linear drive device 23 controls the closing of the clamping robot 5 to complete the hoisting of the board. The travel route of the clamping robot 5 on the drying rack 1 can be set according to requirements. After the first telescopic device 3 retracts, the drying rack 1 sends each board to the drying location for drying. After drying, the board returns from the other side of the drying rack 1, with the lower part of the board abutting the return wheel hub. After tilting, the vertical drive device controls the clamping robot 5 to open and release the board. The board falls onto the single-layer support plate of the recycling rack in the same direction (i.e., the direction of movement of the clamping robot 5). Then, the board is sorted by the board sorting device and the recycling material lifting device on the recycling rack. This completes the entire process of board feeding, flipping and transferring, drying and recycling, which is efficient and saves manpower.
