[0024] This application provides a flipping device, which includes a hopper 100, a mounting component 200, a material transfer assembly 300, a flipping drive assembly 400, and a flipping chamber 500.
[0025] In some specific embodiments, the hopper 100 has a hopper cavity 101, the mounting member 200 is disposed at the outlet of the hopper cavity 101, the mounting member 200 has a feeding cavity 201, the feeding cavity 201 communicates with the hopper cavity 101, a feeding channel 202 communicating with the feeding cavity 201 is opened on one side of the mounting member 200, the mounting member 200 includes a plurality of blocking members 230, the blocking members 230 are used to open or close the feeding channel 202, a transfer assembly 300 is disposed on the mounting member 200, the transfer assembly 300 is used to output the product in the feeding cavity 201 from the feeding channel 202, a flip drive assembly 400 is disposed on one side of the mounting member 200, a flip chamber 500 is disposed at the rotating end of the flip drive assembly 400, the flip chamber 500 has a receiving chamber 501, the receiving chamber 501 receives the product from the feeding channel 202.
[0026] The product mentioned in this embodiment is a tubular object such as a test tube. That is to say, the item in this application that is flipped from horizontal to vertical can be a test tube, but is not limited to that.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hopper 100, mounting component 200, transfer assembly 300, tilt drive assembly 400, and tilting hopper 500 are all vertically aligned. The hopper 100 contains products, and under gravity, the products in the hopper cavity 101 move into the feeding cavity 201 of the mounting component 200. When it is necessary to tilt the products for loading, the transfer assembly 300 can be activated to output the products in the feeding cavity 201 from the feeding channel 202 to the outside. Before the products are output to the outside through the feeding channel 202, the tilt drive assembly 400 drives the tilting hopper 500 to rotate towards the mounting component 200, so that the inlet of the accommodating hopper 501 is connected to the outlet of the feeding channel 202. At this time, the tilting hopper 500 abuts against the blocking component 230, thereby releasing the blocking component 230 from closing the feeding channel 202. Next, as the transfer assembly 300 transports the feeding cavity 201 through the feeding channel 202 to the accommodating hopper 501, the product transportation is completed.
[0028] Next, once the storage compartment 501 is full of products, the tilting drive assembly 400 moves the tilting compartment 500 away from the mounting component 200, rotating it to a vertical position. This brings the products in the storage compartment 501 into a vertical position, achieving a change from a horizontal to a vertical orientation. Simultaneously, since the blocking component 230 is no longer compressed by the tilting compartment 500, it returns to its initial state, re-closing the outlet of the feeding channel 202 to prevent products from continuing to be conveyed outwards. This can be achieved by closing the transfer assembly 300 to prevent further product conveying from the feeding channel 202, or by using a transmission assembly 340 to block power transmission. Details about the transmission assembly 340 are described below and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0029] It is understandable that, such as Figure 10 As shown, through the coordinated operation of components such as the blocking component 230, the material transfer component 300, the flipping drive component 400, and the flipping chamber 500, the product is transformed from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The entire process is automated and does not require manual intervention, greatly improving the efficiency of flipping and feeding.
[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the hopper 100 includes a hopper shell 110 and a bottom plate 120. The hopper shell 110 and the bottom plate 120 are assembled to form a hopper cavity 101. The hopper cavity 101 is used to store products and to provide products to be flipped to the feeding cavity 201. In order to provide new products to the hopper cavity 101, a hopper door 130 is provided on the bottom plate 120. When the products in the hopper cavity 101 are insufficient, the hopper door 130 can be opened to replenish the hopper cavity 101 with new products.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, the material transfer assembly 300 includes an active member 310, a driven member 320, and a first rotary drive member 330. Specifically, the active member 310 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 200, the driven member 320 is fixedly disposed on the circumferential surface of the active member 310, the driven member 320 is located in the feeding chamber 201, and a plurality of material transfer grooves 321 are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the driven member 320. The first rotary drive member 330 is drively connected to the active member 310 and is used to drive the active member 310 to rotate.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the active member 310 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 200, and a portion of the active member 310 extends into the feeding chamber 201, while the other portion is located outside the mounting member 200. In order to transport the product from the hopper 101 to the outside through the feeding channel 202 by rotating the active member 310, the driven member 320 is fixedly mounted on the circumference of the active member 310 located in the feeding chamber 201, and a transfer groove 321 adapted to the product is opened on the circumference of the driven member 320. It can be connected that when the product enters the transfer groove 321, as the active member 310 drives the driven member 320 to rotate, the product is gradually transported to the position of the feeding channel 202 in the space defined by the transfer groove 321 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 201. As the product is continuously transported to the position of the feeding channel 202, the product is transported out from the outlet of the feeding channel 202.
[0033] For example, the first rotary drive component 330 is a motor, specifically a servo motor, the drive component 310 is a rotatable shaft, and the driven component 320 is also a shaft and is sleeved on the drive component 310. The driven component 320 has a through hole on its circumferential surface. Specifically, the driven component 320 is fixed to the drive component 310 by bolts passing through the through hole on its circumferential surface, so that the driven component 320 can rotate together with the drive component 310.
[0034] In some specific embodiments, the material transfer assembly 300 further includes a transmission assembly 340. The first rotary drive member 330 drives the drive member 310 to rotate through the transmission assembly 340. The transmission assembly 340 includes a drive wheel 341 disposed at the rotating end of the first rotary drive member 330. A driven wheel 342 is rotatably disposed on the drive member 310, and a fixed disk 343 is fixedly disposed on it. The drive wheel 341 and the driven wheel 342 are connected in a transmission manner. The fixed disk 343 has a friction transmission surface 3431. A driven disk 344 is sleeved on the circumference of the fixed disk 343. The driven disk 344 is provided with a clearance hole through it. A connecting post 345 is provided through the clearance hole. The end of the connecting post 345 facing away from the driven wheel 342 is connected to the driven wheel 342. A second elastic member 346 is sleeved on the connecting post 345. The second elastic member 346 is used to drive the driven disk 344 to abut against the friction transmission surface 3431.
[0035] Please continue reading. Figure 4 As shown, during the process of the tilting drive assembly 400 driving the tilting chamber 500 to tilt away from the mounting member 200, in order to prevent the first rotary drive component 330 from intermittently starting and stopping and affecting its service life, that is, in order to ensure that the first rotary drive component 330 can be kept running without stopping, a transmission assembly 340 is also provided at the power output end of the first rotary drive component 330. Through the transmission assembly 340, the first rotary drive component 330 can be kept running continuously.
[0036] Specifically, the driven wheel 342 is rotatably mounted on the driving member 310, while the fixed disk 343 is fixedly mounted on the driving member 310. The fixed disk 343 is located on the side of the driven wheel 342 away from the driven member 320. The driving wheel 341 is connected to the driven wheel 342 through a transmission connection, that is, the first rotary driving member 330 can drive the driven wheel 342 to rotate through the driving wheel 341. The driven wheel 342 is driven by friction. Furthermore, the fixed disk 343 has an outward protrusion, and the upper surface of the outward protrusion is the friction transmission surface 3431. Then, the driven disk 344 is sleeved on the fixed disk 343, and multiple clearance holes are opened through the driven disk 344. The connecting post 345 passes through the clearance holes and connects with the connecting hole of the driven wheel 342. A second elastic member 346 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the connecting post 345. Under the elastic force of the second elastic member 346, the driven disk 344 abuts against the friction transmission surface 3431.
[0037] It is understandable that the entire transmission relationship of the transmission assembly 340 is as follows: the first rotary drive member 330 drives the driven wheel 342 to rotate through the drive wheel 341. Since the driven wheel 342 and the driven disk 344 are connected through the connecting column 345, the rotation of the driven wheel 342 will inevitably drive the driven disk 344 to rotate under the connection of the connecting column 345. Furthermore, since the driven disk 344 abuts against the friction transmission surface 3431 and generates friction, it can drive the fixed disk 343 to rotate and the drive member 310 fixedly connected to the fixed disk 343 to rotate.
[0038] Furthermore, when the feeding channel 202 is full of products, the products in the feeding channel 202 cannot be conveyed to the outside due to the obstruction of the blocking member 230. That is, subsequent products cannot continue to enter the feeding channel 202. At this time, the friction force generated between the friction transmission surface 3431 and the driven plate 344 is insufficient to continue driving the driving member 310 and the driven member 320 to rotate. At this time, the driven plate 344 is in an idle state and cannot achieve transmission. When the tilting chamber 500 is tilted to the position of the feeding channel 202, that is, the blocking member 230 releases the seal on the feeding channel 202. When closed, the product can continue to be conveyed to the outside through the feeding channel 202. Since the feeding channel 202 is no longer blocked, the friction between the driven disc 344 and the friction transmission surface 3431 can drive the fixed disc 343, the driving member 310, and the driven member 320 to rotate. Thus, power transmission is achieved under the action of the friction between the driven disc 344 and the friction transmission surface 3431. That is, the clutch function is achieved through the cooperation of the driven wheel 342, the fixed disc 343, the friction transmission surface 3431, the driven disc 344, the connecting column 345, and the second elastic member 346.
[0039] For example, the connecting post 345 is a bolt, the second elastic element 346 is a compression spring, one end of the second elastic element 346 abuts against the driven plate 344, and the other end of the second elastic element 346 abuts against the head of the bolt. It is possible that the second elastic element 346 is sleeved on the smooth part of the bolt, and the threaded part of the bolt is screwed onto the driven wheel 342.
[0040] For example, both the driving wheel 341 and the driven wheel 342 are gears, and the transmission is achieved by gear meshing.
[0041] In another embodiment, both the driving pulley 341 and the driven pulley 342 can be pulleys, which are connected by a transmission belt. In order to improve the transmission efficiency, the pulley can be a synchronous belt, and the corresponding pulley is a synchronous pulley.
[0042] In another embodiment, both the driving wheel 341 and the driven wheel 342 can be sprockets, and they are connected by a chain for transmission.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, the blocking member 230 includes a mounting hole 231 formed on the mounting member 200, a fixing shell 232 is provided in the mounting hole 231, a sliding member 233 is slidably provided in the fixing shell 232, and a first elastic member 234 is also provided in the fixing shell 232. One end of the first elastic member 234 abuts against the sliding member 233. The first elastic member 234 is used to drive the sliding member 233 to slide to the position of the feeding channel 202. The end of the first elastic member 234 away from the sliding member 233 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 231.
[0044] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in order to block products from the feeding channel 202 and to release the obstruction to the outlet of the feeding channel 202 after contacting and abutting with the tilting chamber 500, a plurality of mounting holes 231 are opened on the side wall of the mounting member 200 at the outlet position of the feeding channel 202, and a fixed shell 232 is installed in each mounting hole 231. The fixed shell 232 has a sliding space in which a sliding member 233 is slidably installed. In order to allow the sliding member 233 to extend to the outlet position of the feeding channel 202, a first elastic member 234 is provided in the sliding space inside the fixed shell 232. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 234, the sliding member 233 slides in the fixed shell 232 to the outlet position of the feeding channel 202.
[0045] It is understandable that when the tilting chamber 500 tilts and comes into contact with the sliding member 233, it will overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 234 and cause the sliding member 233 to slide and retract in the fixed shell 232. The sliding member 233 moves away from the outlet position of the feeding channel 202, thereby releasing the obstruction of the feeding channel 202.
[0046] In some specific embodiments, the mounting component 200 includes a first housing 210 and a second housing 220. The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 cooperate to form a feeding cavity 201. A first channel 2021 is provided on the first housing 210, and a second channel 2022 is provided on the second housing 220. A blocking component 230 is respectively disposed at the positions of the first channel 2021 and the second channel 2022. The first channel 2021 and the second channel 2022 are combined to form a feeding channel 202.
[0047] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 5As shown, to facilitate the overall processing of the mounting component 200, the mounting component 200 is designed as a split unit, that is, it is assembled from the first shell 210 and the second shell 220. At the same position, the first shell 210 has a first channel 2021 and the second shell 220 has a second channel 2022. When the first shell 210 and the second shell 220 are assembled together, the first channel 2021 and the second channel 2022 also cooperate to form a feeding channel 202. The feeding channel 202 is connected to the feeding cavity 201. The driven member 320 is located in the feeding cavity 201. The driven member 320 and the inner wall of the feeding cavity 201 form a channel for product transfer and conveying. Finally, the product is conveyed out from the position of the feeding channel 202.
[0048] In some specific embodiments, the flip drive assembly 400 includes a fixing member 410, on which a rotating shaft 420 is rotatably mounted. The rotating shaft 420 is connected to the flip chamber 500. A second rotation drive member 430 is also provided on the fixing member 410, which is used to drive the rotating shaft 420 to rotate.
[0049] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in order to drive the tilting chamber 500 to rotate and tilt, the fixing member 410 can be fixedly installed on the mounting member 200, and then the rotating shaft 420 can be rotatably installed on the fixing member 410. The power input end of the rotating shaft 420 is connected to the second rotating drive member 430. The tilting chamber 500 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 420, that is, the tilting chamber 500 can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 420.
[0050] For example, the second rotary drive component 430 can be a motor, specifically a servo motor, to precisely control the tilting angle of the rotating shaft 420 and the tilting chamber 500. Furthermore, to provide sufficient torque for the rotation of the rotating shaft 420, a suitable reducer can be installed at the power output end of the motor, with the reducer's power output end connected to the rotating shaft 420. In this embodiment, the second rotary drive component 430 and the rotating shaft 420 are connected by a transmission belt. Specifically, a synchronous pulley is installed at the power output end of the second rotary drive component 430, and a synchronous pulley is fixedly installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft 420. The two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt to achieve transmission.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, the tilting chamber 500 includes a tilting plate 510, on which a material shell 520 is fixedly disposed. The tilting plate 510 and the material shell 520 define a receiving chamber 501. The tilting plate 510 is connected to the tilting drive assembly 400 for transmission. A baffle 600 is provided on one side of the tilting chamber 500, and the baffle 600 has a discharge port 610. The tilting drive assembly 400 is used to drive the tilting plate 510 to rotate so that the receiving chamber 501 faces the feeding channel 202 or the discharge port 610.
[0052] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, by installing a material shell 520 on the flip plate 510, a storage compartment 501 is formed for accommodating products that need to be flipped. The storage compartment 501 serves as a transfer compartment. The products from the feeding channel 202 are first accommodated in the storage compartment 501. As the flipping occurs, the products located in the storage compartment 501 are discharged through the discharge port 610 to the next process.
[0053] Understandably, in order to prevent the product in the storage compartment 501 from falling out of its opening during the flipping process, a baffle 600 is set in the area where the flip plate 510 flips, and the baffle 600 is located at the opening of the storage compartment 501. That is, the baffle 600 always closes the opening of the storage compartment 501 during the flipping process of the flip plate 510 to prevent the product from falling out of the storage compartment 501.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, the tilting chamber 500 further includes a pushing assembly 530, which includes a pushing member 531 and a third elastic member 532. The pushing member 531 is slidably disposed on the tilting plate 510 and is located inside the receiving chamber 501. One end of the third elastic member 532 is fixedly disposed on the pushing member 531, and the end of the third elastic member 532 away from the pushing member 531 is fixedly disposed on the tilting plate 510. The third elastic member 532 is used to drive the pushing member 531 to move toward the outlet of the receiving chamber 501.
[0055] Please continue reading. Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in order to enable the product in the storage compartment 501 to automatically discharge to the next process through the discharge port 610 when the flap 510 is flipped to the discharge port 610 position, a pusher 531 is provided in the storage compartment 501 and slidably connected to the flap 510. Specifically, a guide rod is provided on the flap 510, and a corresponding clearance groove is opened on the flap 510. The protruding part of the pusher 531 passes through the clearance groove and is slidably connected to the guide rod. Furthermore, in order to push the product in the storage compartment 501 from the discharge port 610 to the next process through the pusher 531, a third elastic member 532 is hung on the pusher 531. The other end of the third elastic member 532 is hung on the flap 510. Under the elastic force of the third elastic member 532, the pusher 531 is driven to move towards the discharge port 610, so that the product in the storage compartment 501 is transported to the next process from the discharge port 610.
[0056] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the third elastic element 532, a connecting plate 533 is fixedly installed on the protruding part of the pusher 531. The third elastic element 532 is hung on the connecting plate 533. The third elastic element 532 drives the connecting plate 533 to move, thereby driving the pusher 531 to move toward the discharge port 610, pushing the product from the storage chamber 501 to the next process.
[0057] Understandably, when the receiving chamber 501 is flipped to the feeding channel 202, the product from the feeding channel 202 needs to overcome the elastic force of the third elastic element 532 so that the product can be conveyed into the receiving chamber 501. Further understandably, when the receiving chamber 501 is full of product and is flipped, since the opening of the receiving chamber 501 is blocked by the baffle 600, even if the pusher 531 gives the product a pushing force during the flipping, the product will not leave the receiving chamber 501. Until the opening of the receiving chamber 501 is located at the discharge port 610, since the baffle 600 no longer blocks the opening of the receiving chamber 501, the product is pushed to the next process under the pusher 531, completing the product flipping and feeding, so that the product is fed from a horizontal to a vertical state.
