[0002] After the stamping metal parts are produced through punching and cutting, they need to go through subsequent cleaning and testing related processes. During this process, personnel are needed to move the stamped metal parts. Due to the large number of stamped metal parts, a large number of personnel are required to transfer them back and forth between the workstations. When the two inspection production lines are located on the upper and lower levels respectively, the existing operation requires personnel to stand at the workstation to perform continuous transportation operations, which results in high labor costs.

[0017] Each set of jaws is contoured to ensure that the product surface will not be damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] A product automatic turning mechanism, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which includes an upper detection production line 10, a lower detection production line 20, and a vertical transfer mechanism 30;

[0024] The vertical transfer mechanism 30 includes a vertical support 40, a lifting module 50, an eccentric rotating mechanism 60, and a clamping mechanism 70. The lifting module 50 is fixedly mounted on the vertical plate 41 of the vertical support 40. The output end of the lifting module 50 is fixedly connected to an eccentric rotating mechanism 60 through a horizontal vertical plate 80. The eccentric output end of the eccentric rotating mechanism 60 is fixedly provided with a clamping mechanism 70. The clamping mechanism 70 has two working states. When the clamping mechanism 70 faces downward, it is used to clamp or loosen the product. When the clamping mechanism 70 faces upward, it is used to perform a lifting action or standby.

[0025] The upper inspection line 10 is located directly above the lower inspection line 20, the vertical bracket 40 is located at one end of the connection station of the upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20, and the clamping mechanism 70 is located directly above the corresponding station of the upper inspection line 10 or the lower inspection line 20 when facing downward, and the height distance between the upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20 is greater than the height space for the clamping mechanism 70 to flip.

[0026] In a specific implementation, a transverse vertical plate 80 is fixedly provided at the output end of the lifting module 50, and an eccentric rotating mechanism 60 is provided at the outer end area of ​​the transverse vertical plate 80 located outside the surface area of ​​the lifting module 50;

[0027] The eccentric rotating mechanism 60 includes a servo motor 61, a rotating vertical plate 62, and a supporting plate 63. The servo motor 61 is fixedly connected to the outer end area of ​​the horizontal vertical plate 80. The output shaft of the servo motor 61 passes through the through hole of the horizontal vertical plate 80 and is connected to one end of the rotating vertical plate 62 in the length direction. The other end of the rotating vertical plate 62 in the length direction is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 63. The supporting plate 63 is extended toward the upper layer detection product 10 or the lower layer detection production line 20. The supporting plate 63 is fixedly installed with a clamping mechanism 70 in the position area corresponding to the corresponding workstation.

[0028] The rotating vertical plate 62 is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 63 through the L-shaped connecting plate 64, ensuring that the supporting plate 63 is installed firmly and reliably;

[0029] A circular flange 621 is disposed at one end of the rotating vertical plate 62 , and a rotating disk 65 is disposed on the output shaft sleeve of the servo motor 61 . The rotating disk 65 is fixedly connected to the circular flange 621 to ensure stable and reliable rotation output.

[0030] The upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20 are both provided with a product carrier 90, and the product carrier 90 moves along the straight track direction of the inspection line;

[0031] In a specific implementation, the number of product carriers 90 is four, and the four product carriers 90 are arranged on the transverse track of the variable pitch platform 110. The bottom of the variable pitch platform 110 is supported on the linear moving end of the corresponding inspection production line, which enables four products to be inspected each time, and the distance between adjacent products 100 can be quickly adjusted according to the inspection requirements of each inspection station;

[0032] The clamping mechanism 70 includes four groups of clamping jaws 71. The lateral spacing between the four groups of clamping jaws 71 is the spacing distance of the product carrier 90 corresponding to the connection station position, so that the clamping mechanism 70 only needs to clamp and release to complete the corresponding work, and there is no need to calculate the other parameters between the clamping jaws 71; each group of clamping jaws 71 is a contoured clamping jaw to ensure that the product surface will not be damaged.

[0033] During specific implementation, the upper limit position of the lifting module 50 corresponds to the position of the clamping and releasing products of the clamping claw mechanism 70 of the upper inspection production line 10, and the lower limit position of the lifting module 50 corresponds to the position of the clamping and releasing products of the clamping claw mechanism 70 of the lower inspection production line 20, so that it is not easy to make mistakes in operation.

[0034] The working process is as follows: the corresponding connection stations between the upper inspection production line and the lower inspection production line are arranged in the upper and lower positions, and the clamping mechanism is driven by the eccentric rotating mechanism to go deep into the corresponding station, and the clamping mechanism is driven to rise and fall by the lifting module, so that the clamping claws of the clamping mechanism clamp the product on the corresponding station, and then the clamping claw mechanism is driven to leave the production line area by the eccentric rotating mechanism again, and the clamping claw mechanism is driven to rise and fall by the lifting module, and then the clamping claw mechanism is driven to enter the corresponding station of another high inspection line by the eccentric rotating mechanism again, and then the clamping claws of the clamping claw mechanism are released to make the product fall into the new station area, and then the inspection product drives the product to move in a straight line for subsequent inspection; the vertical transfer mechanism can transport the products of the upper inspection production line to the lower inspection production line, and can also transport the products of the lower inspection production line to the upper inspection production line, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and range of equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0036] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
