Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular to a 90-degree rotating mechanism for multiple products. Background Art
[0002] With the vigorous development of intelligent manufacturing technology, the production line has become increasingly dependent on automated equipment. Among them, the precise transplanting and efficient handling of materials have become the key links to improve production efficiency. Faced with the challenge of different directions of material in and out, the application of rotating mechanisms is particularly important. They can flexibly adjust the direction of materials without interrupting the production process to ensure the smooth operation of the production line. However, although the traditional rotating structure powered by a rotary cylinder or motor is mature in technology, it is expensive and has limited flexibility. Especially when it is necessary to achieve synchronous rotation of multiple products, not only does the complexity of the equipment increase sharply, but it is also accompanied by the expansion of the rotation radius, which in turn puts higher requirements on the production space and increases the operating costs of the enterprise. Therefore, exploring more economical, efficient and compact rotating mechanism design solutions, such as adopting new transmission technology or modular design to achieve independent or synchronous rotation of multiple products, reduce space occupancy, and reduce overall costs, has become an important issue that needs to be urgently solved in the field of intelligent manufacturing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-2 In the specific implementation, the assembly, working principle and interaction of each component of the multi-product 90-degree rotation mechanism will be described in detail. The mechanism is designed to achieve simultaneous 90-degree rotation of multiple product carriers through a simple mechanical structure to improve the flexibility and efficiency of the production line.
[0021] First, refer to Figure 4, starting from the basic installation of the mechanism, the carrier installation plate 2 is the core support structure of the entire rotating mechanism, which provides a stable working platform. At the bottom of the carrier installation plate 2, the mechanism installation pads 9 are installed, which not only play a role in buffering and shock absorption, but also ensure that the carrier installation plate 2 can be stably installed on the mechanism installation base plate 10. The mechanism installation base plate 10 serves as the bottom support of the entire rotating mechanism, and is fixedly connected to the production equipment or workbench by bolts or other fasteners, ensuring the stability of the entire mechanism.
[0022] Next, the product carrier assembly 1 is installed. Figure 3 Each product carrier assembly 1 includes a rotating shaft 15, on which a bearing support 14 and a bearing 17 are arranged. The design of the bearing support 14 ensures that the rotating shaft 15 can rotate smoothly, while reducing friction and wear during the rotation process. Above the rotating shaft 15, a bearing 17, a rocker 13 and a product carrier processing component assembly 11 are installed in sequence. The product carrier assembly 1 rotates on the carrier mounting plate 2 through the bearing 17, and the rocker 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15. Cam followers 12 and rotation limit blocks 16 are installed at both ends of the rocker 13. The cam follower 12 is a key component, which is embedded in the track groove 31 on the track slide 3. When the track slide 3 moves along the linear guide 6 through the slider under the drive of the cylinder 7, the shape of the track groove 31 will guide the cam follower 12 to move, thereby driving the rocker 13 and the product carrier assembly 1 to rotate.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-6 The track slide 3 is a bridge connecting the cylinder 7 and the product carrier assembly 1. It slides along the linear guide rail 6, and its sliding path is defined by the front limit assembly 4 and the rear limit assembly 5. The front limit assembly 4 and the rear limit assembly 5 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the track slide 3. When the track slide 3 moves to these limit assemblies, the internal buffer or switch will be triggered to stop sliding. This design effectively prevents the track slide 3 from exceeding the predetermined range of motion and ensures the safety and stability of the mechanism.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , 7 The cylinder 7 is the power source of the entire rotating mechanism. It is installed on the carrier mounting plate 2 and connected to the track slide 3 through a floating joint. The use of the floating joint can compensate for minor errors during the installation process and ensure that the connection between the cylinder 7 and the track slide 3 is both tight and flexible. A speed regulating valve 71 is also installed on the cylinder 7 to adjust the extension and retraction speed of the cylinder piston rod. By adjusting the set value of the speed regulating valve 71, the moving speed of the track slide 3 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving accurate control of the rotation speed of the product carrier assembly 1.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 ,8 When the product carrier assembly 1 needs to be rotated, the cylinder 7 starts to work, and its piston rod pushes the track slide 3 to slide along the linear guide rail 6. As the track slide 3 moves, the track groove 31 on it interacts with the cam follower 12, causing the swing rod 13 to rotate around the rotation axis 15. The rotation of the swing rod 13 drives the rotation of the product carrier assembly 1 until the rotation limit block 16 on the product carrier assembly 1 abuts against the carrier rotation block 8 on the left and right sides. At this time, the product carrier assembly 1 completes a 90-degree rotation and is firmly limited by the carrier rotation block 8.
[0026] It is worth noting that due to the modular design, the rotating mechanism can easily adapt to products of different sizes and shapes. By replacing product carrier processing components 11 of different specifications, the rotation operation of different products can be realized. In addition, since each product carrier component 1 is independently designed, it is easy to realize simultaneous or independent rotation of multiple products. This design not only improves the flexibility of the production line, but also greatly reduces the waiting time and space occupation during the production process.
[0027] In practical applications, this multi-product 90-degree rotating mechanism can be widely used in various automated production lines, such as electronic component assembly, automobile parts production, food and drug packaging, etc. By cooperating with other automated equipment, a series of operations such as automatic loading, rotating, and unloading of materials can be realized, greatly improving production efficiency and quality.
[0028] In addition, the mechanism has certain expandability and maintainability. By increasing or decreasing the number and position of the product carrier components 1, the capacity and layout of the rotating mechanism can be easily adjusted. At the same time, since the connections between the various components are standardized interfaces and fasteners, they can be easily disassembled, replaced and repaired. These features enable the rotating mechanism to maintain good performance and reliability during long-term use.
[0029] In summary, this multi-product 90-degree rotating mechanism realizes the simultaneous or independent rotation of multiple product carriers through ingenious mechanical design and precise component coordination. It not only improves the flexibility and efficiency of the production line, but also reduces production costs and space occupancy. With the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, this rotating mechanism will play an important role in more fields.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
