Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular, to an angle-flipping device and its control method for rapidly flipping two products with different opposite dimensions. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production lines for machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, electronic product assembly, and product packaging, it is often necessary to flip workpieces or products at specific angles to meet the positioning requirements of subsequent processing, inspection, assembly, or packaging. When the dimensions of the two opposite end faces of a product differ, such as workpieces or products with trapezoidal, conical, or wedge shapes, the flipping operation presents unique challenges.
[0003] Currently, common solutions for flipping such irregularly shaped workpieces or products include: One existing technology involves using a universal robotic arm for gripping and flipping. Specifically, an operator uses an industrial robot or a simple flipping cylinder, along with universal grippers (such as parallel pneumatic fingers), to grip and flip workpieces or products. This flipping method is suitable for workpieces or products with similar dimensions at both ends, but for workpieces or products of different dimensions, uneven force can easily lead to unstable gripping, potentially causing slippage, deflection, or even dropping during the flipping process. Furthermore, universal grippers cannot adaptively conform to end faces of different sizes, posing a risk of excessive localized stress that could damage the surface of the workpiece or product.
[0004] Another existing technical solution is to use customized fixtures in conjunction with a flipping mechanism to achieve flipping. A special fixture is customized for a specific product, and the product is "embedded" or "wrapped" before flipping. Although this method has good stability, it lacks flexibility. Once the product model or size changes, the entire fixture needs to be replaced or adjusted, which is time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult to adapt to the flexible production needs of small batches and multiple varieties.
[0005] Another existing technical solution involves segmented or manually assisted flipping, where operators complete the posture adjustment through multiple steps or workstations, or rely directly on manual operation. This method has low production efficiency, high labor intensity, poor positioning consistency, and poses safety hazards, failing to meet the high efficiency and high precision requirements of modern automated production lines.
[0006] In summary, the existing operating methods have the following main drawbacks when processing products with two opposite ends having different dimensions: Poor clamping reliability: General-purpose clamping devices cannot stably clamp two ends of different sizes at the same time. During the flipping process, the workpiece is prone to sliding or rotating in the fixture due to the shift of the center of gravity or inertia, which affects the accuracy of flipping into place and may even cause the workpiece to be scrapped or the equipment to be damaged.
[0007] Insufficient adaptability: The special fixtures have poor flexibility and cannot quickly adapt to the switching between products of different sizes and specifications, which limits the flexibility of the production line.
[0008] Low positioning accuracy: Due to unstable clamping and insufficient control of the flipping process, the final stopping angle of the workpiece is deviated, which cannot meet the requirements of high-precision assembly or processing.
[0009] Low efficiency and automation: It relies on manual intervention or multi-station collaboration, has a long cycle time, low overall production efficiency, and is difficult to achieve seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes.
[0010] Insufficient product protection: Inaccurate clamping force control may cause crushing, scratching or deformation of the product (especially small ends or precision parts).
[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology and provide an angle flipping device and its control method that are relatively simple in structure, easy to operate, highly automated, highly adaptable, and can efficiently, accurately and stably flip two products with different sizes at opposite ends, so as to overcome the above-mentioned defects.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional assembly structure of an angle-flipping device for product placement angle flipping provided by the present invention.
[0027] The angle-flipping device 10 is an automated device used to arrange products of special shapes at a set angle. In this embodiment, the product being flipped by the angle-flipping device 10 refers to a product whose two ends have different cross-sectional diameters, such as trapezoidal, conical, or wedge-shaped products like jelly or cups. For ease of description, in the following embodiments, the product referred to in this invention is jelly. However, this does not mean that the angle-flipping device 10 disclosed in this invention is only used for flipping jelly products. For those skilled in the art, the products processed by the angle-flipping device 10 are not limited to jelly products themselves; any product whose two ends have different cross-sectional diameters is subject to processing by the angle-flipping device 10.
[0028] Taking the product to be processed as jelly 20 as an example, such as Figure 2 As shown. The jelly 20 includes an end portion 21 and a cup body 23 disposed opposite to each other. The end portion 21 is circular and planar. The cup body 23 is generally semi-ellipsoidal with one open end, and the diameter of the opening of the cup body 23 is larger than the diameter of the other cross sections of the cup body 23. The diameter of the end portion 23 is slightly larger than the diameter of the opening of the cup body 23. The end portion 21 covers the opening of the cup body 23, so that the cross-sectional dimensions of the entire jelly 20 decrease sequentially from the end portion 21 to the cup body 23 in the vertical direction, that is, a columnar structure with gradually changing dimensions, one end larger than the other.
[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The angle-flipping device 10 includes a support body 11, a feeding module 13, a flipping conveyor module 15, a discharging module 17, and a horizontal conveyor module 19 (see reference). Figure 13 ).
[0030] The support 11 supports the feeding module 13, the flipping conveyor module 15, the unloading module 17, and the horizontal conveyor module 19 at a set height. The working process of each module of the angle flipping device 10 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include the following: Step S01: Multiple jellies 20 are fed from the feeding module 13 into the angle flipping device 10, wherein the jellies 20 are randomly stacked within the feeding module 13, such as... Figure 4 As shown; In step S02, the flipping conveyor module 15 receives multiple randomly arranged jellies 20 input from the feeding module 13, and flips the randomly arranged jellies 20 so that their ends face down through a flipping conversion action. In step S03, the feeding module 17 receives the jelly after it has been flipped by the flipping conveyor module 15, and converts it into a single-layer matrix with the ends facing upwards, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown; Step S04: The horizontal conveying module receives the jelly 20 after it has been flipped by the unloading module 17, and then outputs it as a linear single-layer arrangement, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it is then transported horizontally to other workstations.
[0031] At this point, the angle flipping device 10 has completed flipping the randomly arranged jelly 20 into a regular matrix arrangement with the ends facing upwards.
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 ,in Figure 7 yes Figure 1Schematic exploded perspective view of the angle flipping device shown Figure 8 is Figure 7 Schematic perspective view of the three-dimensional structure of the support shown
[0033] The support body 11 includes a plurality of support feet 111, a base 113, a first support plate 115, a second support plate 117, a third support plate 119 and a plurality of support rods 120.
[0034] One end of the support foot 111 is supported on the ground, and the other end supports the base 113. The number of the support feet 111 is four, and they are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the angle flipping device 10.
[0035] The base 113 is fixed by connecting a plurality of cross beams to form a "day" shape. The first support plate 115, the second support plate 117 and the third support plate 119 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals in the vertical direction. The second support plate 117 is arranged between the first support plate 115 and the third support plate 119 at intervals. The same-side ends of the first support plate 115, the second support plate 117 and the third support plate 119 are fixed to one side of the base 113, and the other ends are free ends. The plurality of support rods 120 are arranged between two adjacent parallel and spaced support plates, so as to maintain the distance between adjacent support plates within a set range. The plurality of support rods 120 arranged between every two adjacent support plates are parallel to each other.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 , where Figure 9 is Figure 7 Schematic perspective view of the three-dimensional structure of the feeding module shown. The feeding module 13 includes a feeding trough 130 with an opening. Each feeding trough 130 is formed by three connected first side wall 131, a second side wall 133 and a third side wall 135 to form a U-shaped with an opening. The first side wall 131 and the third side wall 135 are arranged opposite to each other at intervals. The second side wall 133 is arranged between the first side wall 131 and the third side wall 135, and the two opposite ends of the second side wall 133 are respectively fixed to the same-side ends of the first side wall 131 and the third side wall 135. The other ends of the first side wall 131 and the third side wall 135 are both free ends, and an opening is formed between the two free ends. The second side wall 133 and the first side wall 131 and the third side wall 135 enclose a U-shaped receiving space with a notch to receive the jelly 20, that is, the feeding trough 130 receives the jelly 20. The first side wall 131, the second side wall 133 and the third side wall 135 are all fixed to the support plate of the support body 11 at the same time.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 ,in Figure 10 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the side structure of the flip-transfer module. Figure 11 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a partial three-dimensional structure of the flipping conveyor module 15. The flipping conveyor module 15 flips the randomly stacked jelly 20 in the feeding trough 130 into a single layer with the ends facing upwards in a regular arrangement. The flipping conveyor module 15 includes a power unit 151, a first rotating roller 153, multiple first angle adjusting rollers 155, a second rotating roller 156, a second angle adjusting roller 157, a conveyor belt 158, and receiving holes 159.
[0038] The power unit 151 is a rotary motor, which is mounted on the end of the first rotating roller 155 and simultaneously fixed to the outer surface of the first support plate 115. The power unit 151 drives the first rotating roller 155 to rotate in a set direction. In this embodiment, the rotation direction of the first rotating roller 153 is set to counterclockwise. The first rotating roller 153 is located near the end of the unloading module 17. The second rotating roller 156 is located near the end of the loading module 13. The plurality of first angle rotating rollers 155 are spaced apart between the first rotating roller 153 and the second rotating roller 156. The conveyor belt 158 passes through the first rotating roller 153, the plurality of first angle adjusting rollers 155, the second angle adjusting roller 157, and the second rotating roller 157, forming a closed loop structure. The plurality of first angle rotating rollers 155 adjust the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 158 from the inside of the closed loop structure formed by the conveyor belt 158. The second angle adjustment roller 157 adjusts the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 158 from the outside of the closed loop structure formed by the conveyor belt 158. The conveyor belt 158 achieves synchronous conveying with the first rotating roller 153, multiple first angle adjustment rollers 155, the second angle adjustment roller 157, and the second rotating roller 156 through a gear and rack meshing mechanism. Specifically, driven by the first rotating roller 153, the conveyor belt 158 drives the first rotating roller 153, multiple first angle adjustment rollers 155, and the second rotating roller 156 to rotate synchronously counterclockwise; simultaneously, driven by the first rotating roller 153, the conveyor belt 158 drives the second angle adjustment roller 157 to rotate synchronously clockwise. The rotation directions of the first angle adjustment roller 155 and the second angle adjustment roller 157 are opposite.
[0039] Multiple receiving holes 159 are arranged in a horizontal array on the conveyor belt 157, and each receiving hole 159 is used to receive the jelly 20. The inner diameter of the receiving hole 159 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the end 21 of the jelly 20. When the jelly 20 is received in the receiving hole 159, the smaller diameter cup body 23 of the jelly 20 passes through the receiving hole 159, and the end 21 of the jelly 20 abuts against the surface of the receiving hole 159, so that the jelly 20 is stuck in the receiving hole 159, and all the jelly 20 faces the same direction, thus forming a regular layered distribution.
[0040] When the flipping conveyor module 15 is used to flip the jelly 20, the following steps are included: Step S151: Pour multiple jellies 20 into the feeding trough 130; In this step, the jelly 20 is arranged haphazardly in the feeding tank 130.
[0041] Step S153: Turn on the power unit 151 to drive the first rotating roller 153 to rotate counterclockwise, and the first rotating roller drives the conveyor belt 158 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. In this step, the conveyor belt 158 has multiple receiving holes 159 on its surface. The jelly 20 rolls on the surface of the conveyor belt 158 within the feeding trough 130 due to its own gravity. When the jelly 20 is not stuck in the receiving hole 159, it is constantly rolling due to the squeezing action of adjacent jelly 20s until it is stuck in the receiving hole 159. When the jelly 20 is stuck in the receiving hole 159, its cup body 23 faces down and its end 21 faces up. Since the receiving holes 159 are arranged in a planar matrix, the jelly 20 contained in the receiving holes 159 are also arranged in a planar matrix, and all of them are placed with their ends facing up and their cup bodies facing down.
[0042] In step S155, the conveyor belt 158 drives the first angle adjustment roller 155 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously through gear and rack meshing, and the second angle adjustment roller 156 to rotate clockwise synchronously. When the conveyor belt full of jelly passes the second angle adjustment roller 156, it automatically flips to a position where the cup body 23 faces upward and the end 21 faces downward.
[0043] In this step, based on the reverse rotation of the second angle adjustment roller 155, the transmission surface direction of the transmission belt 158 is adjusted to rotate 180 degrees, thereby driving the jelly 20 contained in the receiving hole 159 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously. The rotated jelly is arranged in a single-layer matrix pattern and enters the feeding module 17 while maintaining this arrangement.
[0044] At this point, the orientation of the jelly 20 has been rotated.
[0045] Similarly, as a further improvement to the above embodiments, for those skilled in the art, according to actual design needs, when it is necessary to change the product flipping direction, the rotation direction of the first rotating roller 153 can be set to clockwise, and correspondingly, the conveyor belt 158 drives the first angle adjustment roller 155 to rotate clockwise synchronously; on the other hand, the conveyor belt 158 simultaneously drives the second angle adjustment roller 157 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing the flipping of the product to be flipped in another direction, which is exactly the opposite of the flipping of the aforementioned technical solution.
[0046] In summary, in the flipping conveyor module 15, the relative positions of the first angle adjustment roller 153 and the second angle adjustment roller 157 relative to the conveyor belt 158 are set, and the rotation direction of the first angle adjustment roller 153 and the second angle adjustment roller 157 is controlled. By the relative rotation of the two, the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 158 is adjusted, thereby realizing the angle flipping of the products contained on the surface of the conveyor belt 158, saving manpower and improving the degree of automation.
[0047] Please see Figure 12 ,yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structure of the feeding module. The feeding module 17 includes a horizontal support rod 171 and a slant plate 173.
[0048] The horizontal support rod 171 is positioned between the second angle adjustment roller 157 and the first rotating roller 153 at both ends, so that the conveyor belt 158 is transported horizontally between the second angle adjustment roller 157 and the first rotating roller 153 under the support of the horizontal support rod 171.
[0049] One end of the swashplate 173 abuts against the conveyor belt 158, and the other end extends at an acute angle to the horizontal. Along the height direction, the end of the swashplate 173 in contact with the conveyor belt 158 is higher than the end away from the conveyor belt 158. When the conveyor belt 158 conveys the material to the unloading module 17, the jelly 20 separates from the receiving hole 159 and is arranged in a single layer on the surface of the swashplate 173. The surface of the swashplate 173 is driven to tilt and move via a roller transmission structure, thereby causing the single layer of jelly 20 arranged in a single layer on the surface of the swashplate 173 to move synchronously along the surface of the swashplate 173.
[0050] Please see Figure 13This is a schematic diagram of the horizontal conveyor module. The horizontal conveyor module 19 is a horizontal conveyor belt, which is located adjacent to the unloading module 17. The horizontal conveyor module 19 receives the jelly 20 conveyed from the unloading module 17 and moves it horizontally to the next workstation. When the jelly 20 is conveyed to the horizontal conveyor module 19, the jelly is arranged in a linear array along the horizontal direction.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the angle flipping device 10 of the present invention has a flipping conveying module 15 with a plurality of first angle rotating rollers 153 and second angle rotating rollers 156. The first angle rotating rollers 153 are arranged at intervals inside the closed structure formed by the conveyor belt 158 and rotate counterclockwise synchronously, so that when the first rotating rollers 153 rotate, they drive the conveyor belt 158 without jelly 20 to be conveyed along the set direction. On the other hand, the second angle rotating roller 156 is disposed outside the closed structure formed by the conveyor belt 158. When the conveyor belt rotates counterclockwise, the second angle rotating roller 156 rotates clockwise, causing the placement direction of the jelly 20 to be flipped 180 degrees before and after the conveyor belt 158 fully loaded with jelly 20 passes the second angle rotating roller 156. That is, before passing the second angle rotating roller 156, the cup body 23 of the jelly 20 contained on the surface of the conveyor belt 158 is placed downwards, and the end 21 surface of the jelly 20 abuts against the second angle rotating roller 156; after the conveyor belt 158 passes the second angle rotating roller 156, the end 21 surface of the jelly 20 separates from the surface of the second angle rotating roller 156, and the cup body 23 of the jelly 20 contained on the surface of the conveyor belt 158 is placed upwards. Therefore, based on the clockwise rotation of the second angle rotating roller 156, the placement angle of the jelly 20 is rotated 180 degrees after passing the second angle rotating roller 156, thus achieving a flip.
[0052] The angle flipping device 10 provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting the flipping conveyor module 15, the messy jellies are placed in a horizontal and uniform array on the surface of the conveyor belt 158, and the placement angle of the jellies 20 is consistent, that is: the cup body 23 is placed downwards. Second, by setting the second angle adjustment roller 157, the jelly 20 contained on the surface of the conveyor belt will automatically flip after passing the second angle adjustment roller 157, and the cup body 23 of the jelly 20 will be placed facing upwards and evenly arranged in an array on the feeding module 17. Third, by setting the receiving holes 159 on the surface of the conveyor belt 158 and distributing them evenly, each receiving hole 159 corresponds to the outer contour of a jelly 20, so that the messy jelly 20 is evenly contained in the conveyor belt after passing through the conveyor belt 158, which facilitates the conveying.
[0053] Fourth, the angle flipping device 10 of the present invention integrates a flipping conveyor module 15 between the feeding module 13 and the unloading module 17 to realize the automatic flipping of the jelly 20, replacing manual labor, with a high degree of automation and improved processing efficiency.
[0054] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.

8. The angle flipping device according to claim 7, characterized in that, One end of the swashplate abuts against the conveyor belt, and the other end extends at an acute angle to the horizontal.
9. The control method for flipping products using the angle flipping device according to claim 8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Multiple products are provided to enter the angle flipping device from the feeding module, wherein the products are randomly stacked at an angle within the feeding module; The flipping conveyor module receives multiple randomly placed products input from the feeding module, and flips the randomly placed products so that their ends are facing down through a flipping conversion action. The unloading module receives the products flipped by the flipping conveyor module and converts them into a single-layer matrix with the ends facing upwards. The horizontal conveying module receives the product after it has been flipped by the unloading module, and then outputs it as a linear single-layer arrangement. At this point, the angle-flipping device has completed the process of flipping the randomly placed products into a regular matrix arrangement with the ends facing upwards.
10. The control method according to claim 9, characterized in that, The step of flipping the product using the flipping conveyor module also includes the following steps: Multiple products are poured into the feeding trough; The power unit is turned on, driving the first rotating roller to rotate counterclockwise, and the first rotating roller drives the conveyor belt to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. The conveyor belt drives the first angle adjustment roller to rotate counterclockwise in sync, and the second angle adjustment roller to rotate clockwise in sync. When the conveyor belt full of products passes the second angle adjustment roller, it automatically flips 180 degrees and places the products. This completes the rotation of the product's placement angle.
