Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a flipping structure for an automatic flipping robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most wineries still use traditional methods for making koji (fermentation starter), namely manual koji making. This relies heavily on manual temperature measurement, experience-based testing, and experience-based control of the process. However, due to the subjective influence of human factors, traditional koji making has many shortcomings and deficiencies. These include high labor intensity, low efficiency due to skilled workers relying on personal experience to manage the entire process, and difficulties in maintaining temperature, moisture, and hygiene due to workers constantly moving in and out of the koji room. In recent years, with continuous technological updates and improvements, some wineries have mechanized the koji blank forming stage, but other processes are still done manually, making it difficult to guarantee the final koji quality. Therefore, mechanizing only the koji blank forming stage while still relying on manual labor for the complex microbial cultivation process makes it difficult to produce high-quality koji, especially in the turning stage. Currently, turning the koji is mainly done manually, resulting in a harsh environment in the koji room, high labor intensity, low efficiency, and high labor costs. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic koji-turning robot to replace manual turning. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping structure for an automatic flipping robot, in order to solve the problems that the current flipping process is mainly completed manually, which results in a harsh environment in the curing room, high labor intensity, low work efficiency, and high labor costs.

A push rod electric cylinder can drive the lifting and fixing frame to slide along the push rod guide rails, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism. A support frame provides rotational support for the second and third sprockets.

[0019] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3One embodiment of the present invention provides a flipping structure for an automatic flipping robot, comprising a main frame 1, a square platform 2, a push rod electric cylinder 3, a lifting and fixing frame 4, a push rod slider 5, a push rod guide rail 6, a side bracket 7, a lifting power unit 8, a first sprocket 9, a first chain 10, a second sprocket 11, a second chain 12, a support frame 13, a third sprocket 14, a first fixing member 15, a second fixing member 16, a first lifting arm 17, a second lifting arm 18, a ranging mechanism 19, a lifting guide rod 20, a flipping power unit 21, a flipping bracket 22, a vision mechanism 23, a return-to-center detection mechanism 24, and a positioning pin. A square platform 2 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the main frame 1, shaft 25. The square platform 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the push rod electric cylinder 3. The push rod electric cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting and fixing frame 4. A side bracket 7 is provided on the lifting and fixing frame 4. A lifting power unit 8 is fixedly installed on the side bracket 7. A first sprocket 9 is provided on the output end of the lifting power unit 8. A first chain 10 is wound around the first sprocket 9. A second sprocket 11 is connected to the first chain 10. A second chain 12 is wound around the second sprocket 11. A first fixing member 15 and a second fixing member 16 are fixedly connected to the second chain 12 respectively. Furthermore, the first fixing member 15 and the second fixing member 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the first lifting arm 17 and the second lifting arm 18. A tilting power unit 21 is fixedly connected to the second lifting arm 18, and a tilting bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the tilting power unit 21. Push rod sliders 5 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the lifting frame 4. The push rod sliders 5 are slidably connected to the push rod guide rails 6, and the push rod guide rails 6 are symmetrically installed on the top of the main frame 1. The second sprocket 11 is rotatably connected to the support frame 13, and the support frame 13 is symmetrically installed on the lifting frame 4. A third sprocket 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom of one side of the support frame 13. The third sprocket 14 is connected to the second chain 12; a ranging mechanism 19 is provided on the bottom side of the first lifting arm 17, and the first lifting arm 17 is fixedly connected to the second lifting arm 18; the first lifting arm 17 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rod 20, and the lifting guide rod 20 is symmetrically installed on the bottom side of the lifting fixed frame 4, and a vision mechanism 23 is symmetrically provided on the lifting fixed frame 4; a return detection mechanism 24 is provided in the flip bracket 22, and a positioning pin 25 is evenly provided on one side of the flip bracket 22. The positioning pin 25 can be used to fix the curved frame to prevent the curved frame from falling.

[0020] Specifically, in use, the clamping mechanism in the flipping structure is first formed by the symmetrically arranged flipping brackets 22 on both sides. The lifting and fixing frame 4 is slidably connected to both sides of the main frame 1 through the push rod slider 5 and the push rod guide rail 6. The push rod electric cylinder 3 can drive the lifting and fixing frame 4 to slide along the push rod guide rail 6, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism. The support frame 13 provides rotational support for the second sprocket 11 and the third sprocket 14. After the second sprocket 11 is connected to the first chain 10 and the second chain 12, the first sprocket 9 on the lifting power unit 8 is used as the power input to drive the second chain 12 to run around the second sprocket 11 and the third sprocket 14. During the process, the first lifting arm 17 and the second lifting arm 18 can be driven to move up and down through the first fixing part 15 and the second fixing part 16 on the second chain 12. During the movement, the lifting guide rod 20 is used for limiting. During the movement and lifting process, the clamping mechanism, together with the flipping power unit 21, can flip the bending frame clamped in the clamping mechanism, replacing manual labor in the harsh environment of the bending room and reducing manual labor. The system improves the intensity of movement, increases work efficiency, and reduces labor costs. During operation, the automatic turning robot's turning structure is fixed in the sliding guide system. During the turning process, the push rod electric cylinder 3 first drives the lifting fixed frame 4 to move outward. Then, the lifting power group 8 drives the first chain 10 to rotate through the first sprocket 9, which in turn drives the second sprocket 11 to rotate, causing the first fixing part 15 and the second fixing part 16 on the second chain 12 to move downward, moving the turning bracket 22 to the turning frame position. Then, the push rod electric cylinder 3 drives the lifting fixed frames 4 on both sides to move closer to each other, inserting the positioning pin 25 on the turning bracket 22 into the turning frame. Then, the lifting power group 8 drives the first chain 10 to rotate through the first sprocket 9, which in turn drives the second sprocket 11 to rotate, causing the first fixing part 15 and the second fixing part 16 on the second chain 12 to move upward, lifting the turning frame. After that, the turning power group 21 drives the turning bracket 22 to turn, completing the turning process. Finally, the sliding guide system, push rod electric cylinder 3, and lifting power group 8 are used to place the turning frame in the designated position to complete the entire turning process.
