Example
[0030] The present invention provides a simple product turning mechanism. Figures 1 to 3 As shown. It includes: a guide assembly 1, which is used to accommodate products that need to be turned over; a pick-up assembly 2, which includes a first suction nozzle 21, a first driving member 22 and a second driving member 23, the first driving member 22 is used to drive the first suction nozzle 21 to pick up the product in the guide assembly 1 in a liftable manner along a first direction, and the second driving member 23 is used to drive the first suction nozzle 21 to move along a second direction; a flip assembly 3, which includes a second suction nozzle 31 and a third driving member 32, the second suction nozzle 31 is set in the second direction, and the third driving member 32 is used to drive the second suction nozzle 31 to rotate along a third direction.
[0031] The product flipping mechanism provided in the embodiment of the utility model can be applied to flip the products on the assembly line. For example, how the product flipping mechanism provided in the present application flips the front and back of the products on the assembly line is used as an example. After the product flows into the guide component 1 from the assembly line, the first driving member 22 of the picking component 2 drives the first suction nozzle 21 to press down and suck up the product, and then the second driving member 23 drives the first suction nozzle 21 to extend forward and place the product on the second suction nozzle 31 of the flipping component 3, and then the third driving member 32 drives the second suction nozzle 31 to rotate 180 degrees, and then puts the product down, thereby realizing the flipping of the front and back of the product.
[0032] The guide assembly 1 is one of the important components of the flipping mechanism. The guide assembly 1 is provided to provide a precise and stable structure for accommodating and positioning the product to be flipped. The structure of the guide assembly 1 can be customized according to the size, shape and weight of different products to ensure the stability and accuracy of the product during the flipping process. Through reasonable guide design, the flipping mechanism can be compatible with a variety of different products that need to be flipped, greatly improving its versatility.
[0033] The first driving member 22 is mainly used to drive the first suction nozzle 21 to move up and down along the first direction or the vertical direction of the assembly line, so as to pick up the product in the guide assembly 1. This driving member usually adopts a lifting mechanism, such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, and its lifting speed and stability are more important to ensure the accuracy of product picking.
[0034] The second driving member 23 is mainly used to drive the first suction nozzle 21 to move along the second direction or the horizontal direction of the assembly line to transfer the product from the guide assembly 1 to the flip assembly 3. This driving member usually adopts a linear drive, such as a cylinder, a linear guide or a slide module, etc. Its moving speed and positioning accuracy play an important role in the precise transfer of the product.
[0035] The third driving member 32 is a key part of the flipping assembly 3, and is used to drive the second suction nozzle 31 to rotate along the rotation direction to achieve product flipping. This driving member is usually a rotary driver, such as a servo motor or a stepper motor with a reducer, or a rotary cylinder, and its rotation speed and stability can ensure the accuracy and stability of product flipping.
[0036] During the flipping process, the product is first placed in the guide assembly 1. Then, the first driving member 22 drives the first suction nozzle 21 to descend and suck the product, and the second driving member 23 moves the first suction nozzle 21 horizontally to above the flip assembly 3. At the flip assembly 3, the second suction nozzle 31 sucks the product, and the first suction nozzle 21 releases the product. Then, the third driving member 32 drives the second suction nozzle 31 to rotate to flip the product. After the flipping is completed, the second suction nozzle 31 releases the product.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the product flipping mechanism provided by the embodiment of the utility model also includes a mounting bracket 4, and the guide assembly 1 and the pickup assembly 2 are arranged on the mounting bracket 4. The mounting bracket 4 serves as the basis of the entire flipping mechanism and provides a stable support platform for the guide assembly 1 and the pickup assembly 2. More specifically, the mounting bracket 4 can be made of a solid metal material to ensure its stability and load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the design of the mounting bracket 4 also takes into account the convenience of operation and the rationality of the spatial layout, so that the entire flipping mechanism can be easily installed and arranged in various working environments. The guide assembly 1 and the pickup assembly 2 are integrated together by the mounting bracket 4, so that the entire flipping mechanism has a compact structure and occupies a small area.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide assembly 1 includes a guide bar 11 and a stopper 12, and the stopper 12 is arranged at one end of the guide assembly 1. More specifically, the guide bar 11 is arranged in a retracted shape toward the end where the stopper 12 is arranged. The guide bar 11 is mainly used to provide a precise guide path for the product that needs to be flipped. The common guide bar 11 has a smooth and precise profile to ensure that the product can move along a predetermined path in the assembly line. The stopper 12 is arranged at one end of the guide assembly 1 to ensure that the product does not move forward or move after moving to the specified position, so as to facilitate the picking assembly 2 to pick up the product. The setting of the guide bar 11 and the stopper 12 may also need to take into account factors such as the contact area with the product, the friction coefficient and the bearing capacity, so as to ensure that it will not cause damage to the product while limiting the displacement of the product.
[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting bracket 4 includes an adjustment plate 41. More specifically, the pick-up assembly 2 is movably connected to the adjustment plate 41. In the product flipping mechanism, adding a mounting bracket 4, and in particular, providing an adjustment plate 41, further enhances the flexibility and practicality of the entire mechanism. Specifically, when the pick-up assembly 2 is movably connected to the adjustment plate 41, the product of this structure allows the user to adjust the position and angle of the pick-up assembly 2 to adapt to products of different sizes, shapes and weights.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the product flipping mechanism provided by the embodiment of the utility model further includes a product sensor 5. The product sensor 5 is mainly used to detect whether the product has reached the designated position, and more specifically, it can be used to detect whether the product has reached the designated position from the assembly line. When the product sensor 5 senses that there is a product, the first driving member 22 of the picking assembly 2 drives the first suction nozzle 21 to press down and suck up the product.
[0041] The first driving member 22, the second driving member 23 and the third driving member 32 are all cylinders. More specifically, the first driving member 22 can be an upper and lower cylinder, the second driving member 23 can be a forward extension cylinder, and the third driving member 32 can be a rotating cylinder. The cylinder is used as a driving member to automate the entire flipping process and reduce the skill requirements for the operator. The cylinder has high control accuracy and can ensure the precise alignment and stable movement of the product during the flipping process. The use of the cylinder makes the entire flipping mechanism compact. The stability and durability of the cylinder enable the flipping mechanism to operate stably for a long time, reducing the failure rate and maintenance costs.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, more specifically, the flip assembly 3 also includes a connecting member 33, one end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the second suction nozzle 31, and the other end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the third driving member 32. The main function of the connecting member 33 is to transmit the rotational force of the third driving member 32 to the second suction nozzle 31, thereby driving the product to flip. The connecting member 33 is usually made of high-strength materials, such as metal alloys, to ensure that it can withstand the weight and rotational force of the product during the flipping process. The setting of the connecting member 33 allows it to be fine-tuned within a certain range to ensure that the second suction nozzle 31 can be accurately fixed on the product to avoid deviation during the flipping process. The connecting member 33 has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is easy to disassemble and replace, reducing maintenance costs.
[0043] Compared with the prior art, the simple product flipping mechanism provided in the embodiment of the utility model improves the versatility of the product flipping mechanism by providing a guide assembly for accommodating the product to be flipped, and can be better compatible with various different products that need to be flipped. Three different driving members, namely a first driving member, a second driving member and a third driving member, are used to achieve different driving effects. The three are combined to flip the product. The product flipping mechanism of the present application has a simple and practical structure, which can achieve the flipping effect while simplifying the structure, thereby saving manufacturing costs.
[0044] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
