DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , a turning device for carton conveying shown in the figure comprises: a conveyor frame body 1 and a plurality of first conveyor rollers 2 equidistantly distributed in a straight line and rotatably assembled inside the conveyor frame body 1, and a plurality of first conveyor rollers 2 are assembled for transmission through a transmission sprocket and a transmission wheel, and a plurality of first conveyor rollers 2 play a role in carrying and transporting the box body, and at least one partition space is provided between the plurality of first conveyor rollers 2, and a turning unit is installed inside the partition space, and the turning unit is used to drive the box body to turn over, and the turning unit can drive the box body to turn over 90 degrees, and the operation of each turning unit can turn the box body 90 degrees, and according to production needs, a plurality of partition spaces can be set, and a turning unit can be installed inside each partition space, so that the box body can be turned over several times by 90 degrees;

[0034] The flip unit includes two symmetrically distributed flip frames 3 located inside the partition space, the flip frames 3 are V-shaped, and the angle of the flip frames 3 is ninety degrees. Two groups of second conveying rollers 16 are rotatably mounted between the two flip frames 3, and the two groups of second conveying rollers 16 are also V-shaped. The number of each group of second conveying rollers 16 is several, and the two ends of one of the second conveying rollers 16 located at the top of the flip frame 3 are also rotatably mounted inside the conveyor frame 1, and the second conveying roller 16 located at one end of the flip frame 3 and the closest first conveying roller 2 are transmission mounted, and the second conveying roller 16 located on the right side is also transmission mounted through a transmission sprocket and a transmission chain. A horizontally placed cross seat plate 4 is hingedly assembled at the angle of the flip frame 3, a straight groove 12 is opened in the center of the cross seat plate 4, and the straight groove 12 is parallel to the conveyor frame 1, and a sliding block 13 is slidably assembled inside the straight groove 12. A lifting cylinder 5 is arranged below the conveyor frame 1, and the position of the lifting cylinder 5 and the conveyor frame 1 is relatively fixed, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 5 and the sliding block 13 are fixedly assembled. When the lifting cylinder 5 drives the telescopic rod to move upward, the flip frame 3 can be moved upward through the cross seat plate 4. Since the right end of the flip frame 3 and the conveyor frame 1 are rotatably assembled, the flip frame 3 will flip when it moves upward.

[0035] The axis of the second conveyor roller 16 rotatably assembled with the conveyor frame 1 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the first conveyor roller 2. At the same time, the outer diameters of the second conveyor roller 16 and the first conveyor roller 2 are consistent, which ensures that after the flipping frame 3 is flipped, the box can be transported to the first conveyor roller 2 by the second conveyor roller 16.

[0036] A blocking component is also provided between the cross seat plate 4 and the conveyor frame body 1, and the blocking component includes a blocking plate 14 vertically slidably assembled inside the conveyor frame body 1, and the blocking plate 14 is located between the movable end of the flip frame body 3 and the first conveying roller 2, and the bottom of the blocking plate 14 is also slidably sleeved on the outside of the cross seat plate 4, and the top of the blocking plate 14 is also provided with a curved portion 15, and the curved portion 15 is bent toward one side of the flip frame body 3. When the cross seat plate 4 moves upward, the blocking plate 14 also extends upward from the inside of the conveyor frame body 1, that is, it can play a temporary blocking role for the subsequent box body to prevent the box body from being stuck in the partition space.

[0037] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 6The present embodiment is a further explanation of the first embodiment. The buffer unit is located on the side of the blocking plate 14 away from the flip frame 3. Two symmetrically distributed long plates 8 are placed on the upper end surface of the conveyor frame 1. At least two sliding rods 7 are fixedly arranged on one end surface of the two long plates 8 away from each other, and the outer surface of each sliding rod 7 is also slidably sleeved with a positioning frame 6 fixed to the conveyor frame 1. The long plates 8 are parallel to the conveyor frame 1. Two symmetrically distributed curved rods 9 are also arranged on the outside of the conveyor frame 1. The curved rod 9 is in the shape of a C-shaped frame. A spring 10 is fixedly arranged between one end of the curved rod 9 and the long plate 8, and the other end of the curved rod 9 extends to the bottom of the conveyor frame 1. A plurality of rubber pads 11 distributed in a straight line and equidistantly are fixedly arranged on the facing end surfaces of the two long plates 8. When the two long plates 8 move toward each other, they can clamp the box between the two long plates 8, and the rubber pads 11 can increase the friction between the long plates 8 and the box.

[0038] The trigger unit includes a fixed frame 17 located below the conveyor frame body 1, and the fixed frame 17 is relatively fixed to the position of the conveyor frame body 1. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably arranged inside the fixed frame 17, and a rotating disk 22 is fixedly arranged on the top of the rotating shaft 18. Two arc-shaped through grooves 23 with equidistant distribution of the circumference are opened inside the rotating disk 22, and the ends of the two curved rods 9 away from the long plate 8 are respectively slidably mounted inside the two arc-shaped through grooves 23. The curved rods 9 and the conveyor frame body 1 are also axially slidably assembled, and the sliding directions of the two curved rods 9 are opposite or opposite. The two ends of the arc-shaped through groove 23 are not consistent with the center distance of the turntable 22. A tooth plate 20 is also slidably provided on the outer side of the fixed frame 17, and a transmission gear 19 meshing with the tooth plate 20 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 18. A sliding plate 21 is fixedly provided on the end of the tooth plate 20 away from the transmission gear 19, and the sliding plate 21 is slidably assembled in the straight groove 12. The sliding plate 21 slides axially. While the cross seat plate 4 rises upward, it can also move horizontally to the left, that is, it can push the tooth plate 20 to drive the transmission gear 19 to rotate.

[0039] A plurality of first conveying rollers 2 assembled inside the conveyor line frame 1 include three transmission speed sections, which are the first transmission section, the second transmission section, and the third transmission section respectively in the conveying direction. The transmission speeds of the first transmission section and the third transmission section are V1, and the transmission speed of the second transmission section is V2, V2>V1, the partition space is located between the second transmission section and the third transmission section, and the buffer unit is located in the first transmission section and the second transmission section. Through differential processing, the box close to the isolation space can be quickly moved to the flip frame 3, and the distance between the box and the next box can be increased, providing sufficient flipping operation time for the flip frame 3.

[0040] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 7-Figure 9, this embodiment is a further description of the first embodiment, a receiving unit is further provided between the two flip frames 3, the receiving unit includes a limiting cylinder 24 fixedly mounted on the bottom of one side of the two flip frames 3, and the axis of the limiting cylinder 24 is parallel to the other side of the flip frame 3, the limiting cylinder 24 is located on the right side of the flip frame 3, the top of the limiting cylinder 24 is axially slidably equipped with a push rod 25, the end of the push rod 25 extending into the inside of the limiting cylinder 24 is fixedly provided with a sliding plate 26, and the other end of the push rod 25 is fixedly provided with a receiving seat 32 through a connecting plate 31, the receiving seat 32 is located between the two second conveying rollers 16, the sliding plate 2 A bellows expansion tube 27 is fixedly arranged between the end away from the push rod 25 and the limiting cylinder 24, and the two ends of the bellows expansion tube 27 are sealed with the sliding plate 26 and the limiting cylinder 24. A bent pipe is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the bellows expansion tube 27, and the bent pipe extends out of the limiting cylinder 24. The other end of the bent pipe is equipped with an air outlet pressure valve 34. In the initial state, the interior of the bellows expansion tube 27 is filled with air and is in an expanded state. When the box body falls, it will first contact the receiving seat 32 and squeeze the bellows expansion tube 27, and the bellows expansion tube 27 can buffer the force of the box body falling. A supplementary component is also arranged at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 24.

[0041] The supplementary parts include a sealing cylinder 28 fixedly assembled at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 24, and the sealing cylinder 28 is connected to the bottom of the bellows expansion tube 27, a piston disc 29 is slidably assembled inside the sealing cylinder 28, and a piston rod 30 is fixedly arranged at one end of the piston disc 29 away from the limiting cylinder 24 and slidingly penetrates the sealing cylinder 28, an upper end of the sealing cylinder 28 is also equipped with an air intake pressure valve 33, and a connecting rod 35 is fixedly arranged at the exposed end of the piston rod 30, and an arc-shaped groove frame 36 is also fixedly mounted at the bottom of the conveyor frame 1, and the end of the connecting rod 35 is slidably embedded in the interior of the arc-shaped groove frame 36, and the position of the arc-shaped groove frame 36 is fixed, and when the flipping frame 3 is flipped and the position of the sealing cylinder 28 changes, the piston rod 30 can be pulled downward by the cooperation between the arc-shaped groove frame 36 and the connecting rod 35.

[0042] Working principle: The first conveyor roller 2 on the conveyor frame 1 conveys the box from left to right. In the initial state, the flip frame 3 is attached. Figure 7 In the state of the box, the box can slide directly into the flip frame 3 in an inclined state. At this time, the cross seat plate 4 is lifted by the lifting cylinder 5. Since the lifting cylinder 5 drives the sliding block 13 to move vertically upward, the cross seat plate 4 will move horizontally to the left when it moves upward. At the same time, the blocking plate 14 will gradually rise. When the flip frame 3 is flipped over, it is attached Fig. 9The blocking plate 14 can also have a partition effect on the subsequent boxes, preventing the boxes from being stuck between the flip frame 3 and the partition space. After the flip frame 3 is flipped, the box can be flipped 90 degrees. At the same time, under the drive of the second conveyor roller 16, the flipped box is transferred to the first conveyor roller 2, allowing the box to continue to be transported. Through this flipping method, it is possible to ensure that the boxes are fully inspected and processed, thereby avoiding the situation where the damaged parts cannot be completely detected.

[0043] It should be noted that the cross seat plate 4 can push the tooth plate 20 when moving upward and to the left at the same time, causing the transmission gear 19 to rotate with the turntable 22. The two curved rods 9 can move synchronously toward each other through the limit processing of the curved rod 9 by the arc-shaped through groove 23 and the limit of the curved rod 9 by the conveyor frame 1. The curved rod 9 can push the long plate 8 through the spring 10, driving the two long plates 8 to play an elastic clamping and limiting role on the multiple boxes on the conveyor frame 1. The clamped and limited boxes cannot continue to be transported by the first conveyor roller 2, thereby preventing the flip frame 3 and the blocking plate 14 from sticking to each other when they are in the raised state, affecting the normal flipping of the subsequent boxes. In addition, the clamping of the two long plates 8 on the box can also play a centering role on the box, thereby ensuring the stability of the box transportation.

[0044] In this solution, the weight of the product loaded in the box is also taken into consideration. If the product loaded in the box is heavy, it will slide down in the flip frame 3 and hit the other side of the flip frame 3 with great force, and the reaction force generated by the impact can be easily transmitted to the product through the box, causing damage to the product. Therefore, the receiving unit in this solution can play a buffering effect on the fall of the box:

[0045] Among them, the opening pressure of the inlet pressure valve 33 is P1, the opening pressure of the outlet pressure valve 34 is P2, and the pressure applied by the box to the sliding plate 26 through the receiving seat 32 is P3;

[0046] When P3>P2, the sliding plate 26 moves downward to squeeze the air inside the bellows 27 and discharge it through the air outlet pressure valve 34. The slow discharge of the air inside the bellows 27 can buffer the box body, and can buffer the impact force between the box body and the receiving seat 32, effectively reducing the reaction force on the product in the box body. Under the action of the weight of the box body, the end surface of the receiving seat 32 can be pressed down to coincide with the cross-section of the second conveying roller 16, that is, the two surfaces of the box body can be respectively contacted with the two groups of second conveying rollers 16. Since the sliding plate 26 has been squeezed and moved downward to the maximum value, the bellows 27 can no longer be pressed During the turning process of the turning frame 3, the piston disc 29 can be pulled downward by the engagement of the connecting rod 35 and the arc-shaped groove frame 36. Since the bellows expansion tube 27 can no longer be compressed, the sealing cylinder 28 can only be supplemented with air through the air inlet pressure valve 33. After the subsequent box is moved away, when the turning frame 3 is reset, the reset of the piston disc 29 can inject the air inside the sealing cylinder 28 into the bellows expansion tube 27, so that the compressed bellows expansion tube 27 can be expanded again and the sliding disc 26 can be reset. After the sliding disc 26 is completely reset, the continuous injection of air inside the sealing cylinder 28 will allow the excess air to be discharged through the air outlet pressure valve 34.

[0047] When P3≤P2, the sliding plate 26 does not change position. Since the weight of the box is too light to touch the sliding plate 26, when the turning frame 3 turns over, the downward movement of the piston plate 29 can first draw the air inside the bellows 27 into the inside of the sealing tube 28, so that the bellows 27 is compressed, and the sliding plate 26 and the receiving seat 32 change position to ensure that the two end faces of the box can contact the two sets of second conveying rollers 16 respectively, and ensure that the turning frame 3 can transfer the box to the first conveying roller 2 through the second conveying roller 16 after the turning is completed. When the bellows 27 is compressed to the maximum value and the piston plate 29 is still moving downward, the air inside the sealing tube 28 can be supplemented from the outside through the intake pressure valve 33.
