DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or selectively exclusive embodiment with other embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a hovering turning transmission line shared by multiple processes, including a transmission frame 1. Turning gears 2 are installed at the four corners inside the transmission frame 1. A turning toothed plate 3 is engaged with the surface of the turning gears 2. An automatic turning assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the turning toothed plate 3 and below the transmission frame 1. A hovering assembly 5 is installed inside the left end of the transmission frame 1. The hovering assembly 5 includes a support carrier 501. The support carrier 501 is located on the surface of the transmission belt 402. An electromagnet 502 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the transmission frame 1 corresponding to the lower part of the support carrier 501. A processing manipulator 6 is installed at the middle position of the transmission frame 1; The automatic turning assembly 4 includes a driving motor 401. The output end of the driving motor 401 is fixedly installed with the bottom of the turning gear 2. A transmission belt 402 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the turning toothed plate 3. A limiting support shaft 403 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the turning gear 2 and the inner wall of the transmission frame 1. Embodiment 2

[0022] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as shown in the present invention Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a support seat 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the processing manipulator 6. A fixed seat 8 is installed at the bottom of the support seat 7 and inside the transmission frame 1. A moving groove 9 is opened inside the fixed seat 8. A moving slide plate 10 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 9. The upper end of the moving slide plate 10 is connected to the bottom of the support seat 7. A first adjustment knob 11 is installed through the outside of the moving slide plate 10. The locking end of the first adjustment knob 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 9; A side plate 12 is fixedly installed on the left side of the transmission frame 1. An installation groove 13 is vertically opened inside the upper end of the side plate 12. A positioning rod 14 is snap-fitted on the left side of the support carrier 501. The positioning rod 14 is snap-fitted inside the installation groove 13. An adjustment plate 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower end of the positioning rod 14. The adjustment plate 15 is connected to the side plate 12 through a second adjustment knob 16.

[0023] Adopt the technical solution as Figure 1 shown. A moving groove 9 is opened in the fixed seat 8, and the moving slide plate 10 slides in the moving groove 9 and is locked in cooperation with the first adjusting knob 11. This enables the processing manipulator 6 to adjust its position in the horizontal direction. In actual production, different processing procedures may have different requirements for the horizontal position of the manipulator. For example, when processing workpieces of different sizes, the position of the moving slide plate 10 can be adjusted to accurately move the manipulator to a suitable processing position and then fixed with the first adjusting knob 11 to ensure processing accuracy. At the same time, after the support carrier 501 is installed on the conveyor belt 402, it is installed in cooperation with the positioning clamping rod 14 and the adjusting plate 15 on the side, and can also be locked after adjusting the position with the second adjusting knob 16, further enhancing the stability of the entire structure and ensuring that the support carrier 501 will not shake or displace during use.

[0024] Secondly, in the technical solution, positioning clamping plates 26 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends on both sides of the transmission frame 1, and support columns 17 are installed outside the positioning clamping plates 26 through bolts; on both the front and rear sides of the transmission frame 1, side fixing plates 18 are fixedly installed. On the inner side of the side fixing plate 18 and on one side above the conveyor belt 402, a limit shielding plate 19 is installed. An adjusting screw rod 20 is rotatably installed outside the limit shielding plate 19. The outer end of the adjusting screw rod 20 penetrates to the outside of the side fixing plate 18 and is sleeved with an adjustable telescopic plate 23. A turning handle 21 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the adjusting screw rod 20; on both sides outside the limit shielding plate 19, adjusting telescopic rods 22 are fixedly installed. The outer ends of the adjusting telescopic rods 22 penetrate to the outside of the side fixing plate 18 and are connected to the ends of the adjustable telescopic plate 23.

[0025] It adopts the technical solution as Figure 1In the technical solution shown, the positioning card board 26 is connected to the upper end of the support column 17 to reinforce and support the four sides of the transmission rack 1, so that the transmission rack 1 maintains stability on the ground and during use. A limiting shielding plate 19 is arranged above the transmission belt 402, which can effectively prevent the items on the transmission belt 402 from falling from both sides of the transmission belt 402 during transmission due to reasons such as shaking and collision. This is particularly important for the transmission of some fragile, valuable or small-sized items, avoiding damage and loss of items and reducing cost losses during the production process. The limiting shielding plate 19 can make the transmitted items move along a fixed path on the transmission belt 402, ensuring the orderliness of transmission. This helps the subsequent processing procedures to accurately obtain the transmitted items, improving the accuracy and efficiency of production. The setting of the adjusting telescopic rod 22 plays an auxiliary supporting and guiding role. During the process of adjusting the position of the limiting shielding plate 19, the adjusting telescopic rod 22 can ensure the stable movement of the limiting shielding plate 19, avoiding tilting or shaking and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the adjustment process. At the same time, the cooperation of the adjustable telescopic plate 23 with the adjusting screw 20 and the adjusting telescopic rod 22 further enhances the overall stability of the adjusting structure. Embodiment III

[0026] As shown in the present invention Figures 1-6 As shown, guide rails 24 are fixedly installed at both the left and right ends inside the transmission rack 1. A guiding sliding plate 25 is slidably installed outside the guide rails 24, and the upper end of the guiding sliding plate 25 is clamped to one side of the lower end of the support carrier 501; a limiting shaft 27 is fixedly installed at the center outside the side fixing plate 18, and one end of the adjusting screw 20 is located inside the limiting shaft 27 and is threadedly connected; a filling pad 28 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the support carrier 501, and the filling pad 28 is in contact with the left side of the electromagnet 502. The entire support carrier 501 is sheathed and clamped on the surface of the transmission belt 402 and is in sliding contact; through grooves are formed on both sides of the surface of the side fixing plate 18, and one end of the adjusting telescopic rod 22 installed on the surface of the side fixing plate 18 is located inside the through grooves.

[0027] With the above technical solution, the guide rails 24 installed at the left and right ends inside the transfer rack 1 cooperate with the guide sliding plates 25 to provide stable sliding support for the support carrier 501, enabling the support carrier 501 to be finely adjusted along the guide rails 24. Moreover, the support carrier 501 with a snap-fit design can be laterally moved and adjusted and replaced, reducing shaking and deviation during movement. The support carrier 501 is integrally sheathed and clamped on the surface of the conveyor belt 402. The fitting design of the filling pad 28 and the electromagnet 502 is used to enhance the adsorption force and fill the space, helping to reduce position deviation caused by vibration or external interference. One end of the adjusting screw 20 is located inside the limit shaft 27 and is threadedly connected. This design provides reliable support and guidance for the adjusting screw 20. By rotating the adjusting screw 20, the positions of components such as the limit shielding plate 19 can be precisely controlled to achieve flexible adjustment of the transfer space. The through slots opened on the surface of the side fixing plate 18 provide a moving space for the adjusting telescopic rod 22, enabling the adjusting telescopic rod 22 to freely expand and contract during adjustment. At the same time, the through slots play a certain limiting role in the adjusting telescopic rod 22, preventing it from being excessively offset or distorted during movement and ensuring the normal operation of the adjusting structure.

[0028] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When turning transfer is required, the drive motor 401 is started to drive the turning gear 2 to rotate. Since the turning gear 2 meshes with the turning tooth plate 3, the turning tooth plate 3 will move as the turning gear 2 rotates. The conveyor belt 402 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the turning tooth plate 3, so the conveyor belt 402 will also move accordingly, thus realizing the automatic turning of the product during the transfer process. When the product is transferred to the process position where hovering is required, the electromagnet 502 is energized to generate magnetic force. After the overall adjustment, the support carrier 501 is in a high position and is tightened by the second adjustment knob 16. After the transferred product passes under the support carrier 501, a metal block is additionally installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 402, and the electromagnet 502 adsorbs the metal block for fixation, causing the product to stop moving together on the surface of the conveyor belt 402 to achieve hovering. And products to be assembled can be placed above the support carrier 501. When this process is completed, the electromagnet 502 is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, and the product continues to move driven by the conveyor belt 402; When it is necessary to adjust the lateral position of the processing manipulator 6, loosen the first adjustment knob 11, and the moving slide plate 10 can slide in the moving groove 9, thereby driving the support base 7 and the processing manipulator 6 to move to a suitable position. Then, tighten the first adjustment knob 11 to fix the moving slide plate 10 on the inner wall of the moving groove 9, completing the adjustment of the lateral position. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the limit shielding plates 19 to adapt to transmission articles of different widths, rotate the turning handle 21, and the adjustment screw rod 20 rotates within the limit shaft 27. Since the adjustment screw rod 20 is threadedly connected to the limit shaft 27, it will drive the limit shielding plates 19 to move. The two ends of the adjustment telescopic rod 22 are respectively connected to the limit shielding plates 19 and the adjustable telescopic plate 23, and move within the through groove on the surface of the side fixing plate 18, playing a role of auxiliary support and guidance to ensure the stable movement of the limit shielding plates 19.
