In order to avoid spatial interference, longer and more tortuous conveying equipment has to be added to bypass the workpiece. As a result, the area occupied by the conveying equipment is getting larger and larger, and the subsequent maintenance cost is high. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical scheme of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention. 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.

[0026] It should be noted that the present invention proposes a spatial flipping and sliding conveying device to solve the problems of turnover of workpieces in special processing processes, such as high failure rate of general conveying equipment and high cost of special conveying equipment in extreme environments, as well as the uneconomical detour of conveying equipment during automation transformation of certain large-scale equipment.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the spatial transport device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a turning frame 10 , a turning inclined axis 20 , a turning plate 30 , a turning power device 31 and a tilting frame 40 .

[0028] The turning frame 10 includes at least two rows of columns 11 arranged in parallel, and the heights of the columns 11 decrease sequentially along the arrangement direction of the columns 11.

[0029] It is understandable that the height of the columns 11 is successively reduced, which enables the workpiece to be transported more quickly on the spatial transport device 100 under the influence of gravity.

[0030] The tilting shaft 20 is arranged on the highest column 11, and a part of the tilting plate 30 is arranged at the upper end of the tilting shaft 20, and the workpiece can be tilted and transported on the tilting plate 30. The end of the tilting power device 31 is arranged on the column 11, and the front end of the tilting power device 31 is connected to the other part of the tilting plate 30.

[0031] It is understandable that if Figure 1 As shown, the flipping process of the flip plate 30 on the horizontal plane is shown, and the flip plate 30 can be rotated from a downwardly inclined angle to a horizontal angle.

[0032] At the same time, since the tilting shaft 20 is obliquely arranged on the tilting frame 10, when the contact portion between the tilting plate 30 and the tilting shaft 20 gradually increases, the tilting process of the tilting plate 30 on the vertical plane is realized.

[0033] The tilting frame 40 is docked at the end of the flip plate 30 , and the workpiece can be slidably transported on the tilting frame 40 .

[0034] According to the space conveying device 100 of the present invention, by setting the flip oblique axis 20, the flip plate 30 and the flip power device 31, a part of the flip plate 30 is set at the upper end of the flip oblique axis 20, and a part of the flip plate 30 is set on the front end of the flip power device 31. Through the extension and contraction process of the flip power device 31, the rotation of the flip plate 30 on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis is realized, so that the workpiece on the flip plate 30 can be better flipped on the flip plate 30. The space conveying device 100 of the present invention has no complicated transmission parts, so it is less affected by extreme environments, has a lower failure rate, and has higher reliability. The flip plate 30 is equivalent to completing the spatial angle conversion of 2 degrees of freedom, so that the turnover efficiency is higher and the space occupied is smaller. The space conveying device 100 of the present invention is more economical and reliable.

[0035] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 further includes two first material sorting baffles 32 , and the two first material sorting baffles 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flip plate 30 .

[0036] It can be understood that the first material sorting baffle 32 is used to provide protection for the workpieces being turned over to prevent the workpieces from being bumped and falling.

[0037] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 further includes a plurality of first articulated rods 33 , which are used to connect the flip plate 30 and the two first material sorting baffles 32 to adjust the distance and opening angle between the two first material sorting baffles 32 .

[0038] It is understandable that the first articulated rod 33 can adjust the distance and opening angle between the two first material sorting baffles 32 , thereby facilitating the improvement of the application range of the spatial conveying device 100 .

[0039] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 further includes two second material sorting baffles 41 , and the two second material sorting baffles 41 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inclined frame 40 .

[0040] It can be understood that the second material sorting baffle 41 is used to provide protection for the sliding workpiece to prevent the workpiece from bumping and falling.

[0041] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 further includes a plurality of second articulated rods 42 , which are used to connect the tilting frame 40 and the two second material sorting baffles 41 to adjust the distance and opening angle between the two second material sorting baffles 41 .

[0042] It is understandable that the second articulated rod 42 can adjust the distance and opening angle between the two second material sorting baffles 41. This is helpful to improve the application range of the spatial conveying device 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 also includes a blocking buffer mechanism 50, which includes a blocking buffer bracket 51, a buffer drive device 52 and a blocking buffer baffle 53; the blocking buffer bracket 51 is arranged on the column 11, the buffer drive device 52 is arranged on the blocking buffer bracket 51, and a blocking buffer baffle 53 is arranged at the front end of the buffer drive device 52, and the surface of the blocking buffer baffle 53 is close to the inclined frame 40.

[0044] In some embodiments, the spatial conveying device 100 also includes an in-place detection mechanism 60, which includes an in-place detection bracket 61, a rocker arm 62, an adjustable limit block 63 and a detection sensor 64; the in-place detection bracket 61 is arranged at the end of the tilting frame 40, the rocker arm 62 is arranged on the in-place detection bracket 61, and the front end of the rocker arm 62 is provided with an adjustable limit block 63 and a detection sensor 64, the adjustable limit block 63 is used to limit the position of the detection sensor 64, and the detection sensor 64 is used to detect the workpiece on the tilting frame 40.

[0045] In some embodiments, the spatial transport device 100 further includes a centering positioning mechanism 70 , which is disposed at the end of the tilting frame 40 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the spatial transport device 100 further includes a blocking positioning mechanism 80 , which is disposed at the end of the tilting frame 40 .

[0047] It should be noted that before the workpiece is produced, the spacing and opening cone angle of the first material sorting baffle and the second material sorting baffle are adjusted according to the size of the workpiece.

[0048] The workpiece turnover process is as follows: the workpiece is placed on a flip plate in a horizontal state, and the flip plate rotates along the flip oblique axis, driving the workpiece to simultaneously complete the angle change in two dimensions from the horizontal plane. After the flipping is completed, it docks with the tilting frame, and the workpiece slides along the tilting frame to the blocking buffer position for buffering, and then slides to the end blocking positioning position. The in-place detection device senses and triggers the centering positioning device to work, completing the turnover and positioning of the workpiece. Subsequent equipment completes the subsequent automation process based on the output of the device.

[0049] The space transportation device of the present invention does not have a transmission system, so it is less affected by extreme environments, has a low failure rate and higher reliability; it can simultaneously complete the spatial angle change of two degrees of freedom without detours, has high efficiency and high space utilization.
