[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning and flipping device provided in this embodiment when the flipping component 310 is at the material receiving position to receive the material 010; Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the positioning and flipping device provided in this embodiment when the flipping component 310 is in the feeding position. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning and flipping device, including a mounting seat 100 and a positioning mechanism 200 and a flipping mechanism 300 arranged in sequence along a first direction, specifically, the first direction is the flow direction of the material 010; the positioning mechanism 200 includes a support platform 210 for receiving the material 010 and a pushing drive assembly 220 for pushing the material 010 along the first direction, the flipping mechanism 300 includes a flipping component 310 rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 100 and a flipping drive assembly 320 for driving the flipping component 310 to rotate, the rotation axis of the flipping component 310 is along a second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the flipping component 310 has a material receiving position and a material feeding position, wherein, at the material receiving position, the flipping component 310 receives and fixes the material 010 pushed by the pushing drive assembly 220.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the “first direction” may be represented by the arrow x in the figure, and the “second direction” may be represented by the arrow y in the figure.

[0033] In the initial state, the flipping component 310 of the flipping mechanism 300 can be flipped to the material receiving position facing the positioning mechanism 200. When the material 010 is placed on the carrier 210, the material pushing drive assembly 220 is activated to push the material 010 to move along the first direction, that is, to push the material 010 to the flipping component 310 at the material receiving position; after the flipping component 310 receives and fixes the material 010, the flipping component 310 will drive the material 010 to flip to the feeding position, so that different surfaces of the material 010 are flipped to the desired position, so as to achieve the purpose of flipping the material 010, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent production rhythm.

[0034] The positioning and flipping device integrates the positioning mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 into the mounting base 100, so that the positioning and flipping device has both positioning and flipping functions, so that the positioning and flipping operations of the material 010 can be completed in the same device, reducing the space required for the positioning and flipping links, thereby effectively improving the technical problem in the prior art that the material 010 needs to occupy a large space in the positioning and flipping links, and improving space utilization.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the mounting seat 100 includes a first vertical plate 110 and a second vertical plate 120 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and a flip space 130 is formed between the first vertical plate 110 and the second vertical plate 120. The flip mechanism 300 also includes a flip shaft 330, wherein the flip shaft 330 is located in the flip space 130, and the first end of the flip shaft 330 is rotatably connected to the first vertical plate 110, and the second end of the flip shaft 330 is rotatably connected to the second vertical plate 120, and the flip component 310 is fixedly disposed on the shaft section of the flip shaft 330 located between the first vertical plate 110 and the second vertical plate 120; the supporting platform 210 supports and is connected to the first vertical plate 110 and the second vertical plate 120.

[0036] This structural form of the mounting seat 100 enables the flip mechanism 300 to be at least partially accommodated in the flip space 130 formed by the first vertical plate 110 and the second vertical plate 120, which can not only further reduce the space occupied by the positioning flip device, but also achieve effective use of the flip space 130. In addition, the form of providing the flip space 130 in the mounting seat 100 can also reduce the weight of the mounting seat 100, thereby facilitating the lightweight design of the positioning flip device of this embodiment.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mounting base 100 further includes a bottom plate 140 , and the bottom plate 140 is fixedly connected to the first vertical plate 110 and the second vertical plate 120 .

[0038] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, when the flip component 310 flips from the material receiving position to the material feeding position, the flip shaft 330 rotates 90° counterclockwise; when the flip component 310 flips from the material feeding position to the material receiving position, the flip shaft 330 rotates 90° clockwise. The above “clockwise” direction and “counterclockwise” direction are both based on the perspective of the flip shaft 330 facing the lateral surface of the second vertical plate 120.

[0039] Figure 3 The second structural diagram of the positioning and flipping device provided in this embodiment when the flipping component 310 is in the feeding position. Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , and combined with Figure 3 In this embodiment, the flipping component 310 may include a flipping plate 311 and a clamping cylinder 312, wherein the flipping plate 311 is fixedly connected to the flipping shaft 330, the cylinder body 3121 of the clamping cylinder 312 is fixedly arranged on the flipping plate 311, and the clamping portion 3122 of the clamping cylinder 312 is used to receive and fix the material 010.

[0040] This form of using the clamping cylinder 312 to receive and fix the material 010 has a simple structure and can reliably fix the material 010, thereby reducing the risk of the material 010 falling off during the process of the flipping component 310 driving the material 010 to flip. In addition, the setting of the flip plate 311 makes it possible to reliably fix the clamping cylinder 312 on the flip shaft 330 without making structural improvements to the cylinder body 3121 of the clamping cylinder 312, thereby reducing the processing cost.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the flip component 310 is in the material receiving position, a stop 3123 is provided at one end of the clamping jaw portion 3122 facing the positioning mechanism 200, wherein the stop 3123 has a material receiving surface parallel to the horizontal plane and a limiting surface perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the limiting surface is the surface of the stop 3123 facing the positioning mechanism 200.

[0042] This arrangement enables, when the flipping component 310 flips to the material receiving position, the stop 3123 of the clamping jaw portion 3122 faces the positioning mechanism 200, that is, the stop 3123 of the clamping jaw portion 3122 faces the material 010 on the supporting platform 210. This arrangement enables, when the pushing drive assembly 220 is actuated, the material 010 on the supporting platform 210 to be pushed toward the stop 3123, and the material receiving surface of the stop 3123 is used to receive the material 010, and the limiting surface of the stop 3123 is used to limit the pushing stroke of the material 010, so that the material 010 can be carried on the stop 3123 of the clamping jaw portion 3122; thereafter, the material 010 on the stop 3123 is fixed by the relative movement of the clamping jaw portion 3122, thereby facilitating the subsequent flipping action.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the flipping drive assembly 320 includes a first linear drive member 321, a driving gear 322 and a driving rack 323, wherein the first linear drive member 321 is installed on the first vertical plate 110, the driving rack 323 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first linear drive member 321, and the driving gear 322 is fixedly mounted on the flipping shaft 330 and meshes with the driving rack 323.

[0044] When it is necessary to switch the flipping component 310 between the material receiving position and the material feeding position, the action of the first linear drive member 321 can be utilized to move the driving rack 323. Under the meshing action of the driving rack 323 and the driving gear 322, the movement of the driving rack 323 will drive the driving gear 322 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the flipping shaft 330, thereby achieving the purpose of flipping the flipping component 310.

[0045] This arrangement of the flip drive assembly 320 can not only realize the flip drive of the flip component 310, but also make the flip process of the flip component 310 relatively smooth, thereby ensuring the smooth switching of the flip component 310 between the material receiving position and the material feeding position.

[0046] Figure 4 A top view of the positioning and flipping device provided in this embodiment when the flipping component 310 is in the feeding position. Figures 1 to 3 , and combined with Figure 4 In this embodiment, the power output direction of the first linear drive member 321 is along the first direction, and the driving rack 323 extends along the first direction; the flipping drive assembly 320 may also include a guide groove 324, the guide groove 324 is fixedly connected to the first vertical plate 110, and the guide groove 324 extends along the first direction, and the driving rack 323 is movably arranged in the guide groove 324.

[0047] By setting the power output direction of the first linear drive member 321 to be along the first direction, and setting the drive rack 323 to extend along the first direction, the height space occupied can be reduced, which is conducive to the compact structure of the positioning and flipping device of this embodiment. In addition, by setting the guide groove 324 extending along the first direction, and setting the drive rack 323 in the guide groove 324, it is also possible to guide the drive rack 323 during the movement process, ensure the smooth movement of the drive rack 323, and thus ensure the reliability of the flipping drive of the flipping component 310.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the driving gear 322 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the flip shaft 330 , and the driving gear 322 and the flip component 310 are respectively disposed on two sides of the first vertical plate 110 .

[0049] This form of arranging the driving gear 322 outside the mounting base 100 can, on the one hand, reduce the number of components arranged in the flipping space 130 and facilitate layout. On the other hand, it can also reduce the interference caused to the flipping process of the flipping component 310 to ensure the smooth flipping of the flipping component 310.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the first linear drive member 321 is a cylinder. This configuration can simplify the control logic of the first linear drive member 321 and reduce the control difficulty.

[0051] Figure 5 for Figure 4 Please continue to refer to the AA section view in Figures 1 to 4 , and combined with Figure 5In this embodiment, the flipping space 130 is further provided with a first limit assembly 400 and a second limit assembly 500, wherein the first limit assembly 400 is configured to abut against and limit the flipping component 310 at the material receiving position; the second limit assembly 500 is configured to abut against and limit the flipping component 310 at the material feeding position.

[0052] By setting the first limit assembly 400 and the second limit assembly 500, the flipping limit of the flipping component 310 at the material receiving position and the material feeding position can be respectively achieved, so that the flipping component 310 can be restricted from flipping by the second limit assembly 500 when flipping from the material receiving position to the material feeding position, and can be restricted from flipping by the first limit assembly 400 when flipping from the material feeding position to the material receiving position, thereby avoiding the situation where the flipping component 310 flips excessively, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the material receiving process and the material feeding process.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first limiting assembly 400 includes a first fixed plate 420 and a first oil pressure buffer 410, the first fixed plate 420 is fixedly arranged in the flipping space 130, the first oil pressure buffer 410 is fixedly arranged on the first fixed plate 420, and the buffer end of the first oil pressure buffer 410 faces upward; the second limiting assembly 500 includes a second fixed plate 520 and a second oil pressure buffer 510, the second fixed plate 520 is fixedly arranged in the flipping space 130, the second oil pressure buffer 510 is fixedly arranged on the second fixed plate 520, and the buffer end of the second oil pressure buffer 510 faces upward.

[0054] During the process of the flipping component 310 flipping from the material receiving position to the material feeding position, when the flipping component 310 contacts the second oil pressure buffer 510, the second oil pressure buffer 510 will be compressed, and the compression potential energy of the second oil pressure buffer 510 is used to buffer the impact force of the flipping component 310. At the same time, the contact between the second oil pressure buffer 510 and the flipping component 310 is used to limit the flipping angle of the flipping component 310 to the material feeding position; during the process of the flipping component 310 flipping from the material feeding position to the material receiving position, when the flipping component 310 contacts the first oil pressure buffer 410, the first oil pressure buffer 410 will be compressed, and the compression potential energy of the first oil pressure buffer 410 is used to buffer the impact force of the flipping component 310. At the same time, the contact between the first oil pressure buffer 410 and the flipping component 310 is used to limit the flipping angle of the flipping component 310 to the material receiving position.

[0055] This form of limiting the flipping angle of the flipping component 310 by using the first oil pressure buffer 410 and the second oil pressure buffer 510 is not only reliable in positioning, but also can use the compression potential energy of the first oil pressure buffer 410 and the second oil pressure buffer 510 to buffer the impact force of the flipping component 310, effectively reducing the rigid impact on the flipping component 310, protecting the flipping component 310, and reducing the noise during the flipping process.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the push drive assembly 220 includes a second linear drive member 221, a push rod 222 and an elastic element 223, wherein the second linear drive member 221 is installed on the support platform 210, and the push rod 222 is movably arranged on the support platform 210 along the first direction, one end of the push rod 222 is toward the output end of the second linear drive member 221, and the other end of the push rod 222 is toward the flip component 310; the elastic element 223 is arranged between the push rod 222 and the support platform 210, and the elastic expansion and contraction direction of the elastic element 223 is along the first direction, and the elastic element 223 is configured to make the push rod 222 always have a tendency to move toward the second linear drive member 221.

[0057] When the positioning and flipping device is used to position and flip the material 010, the material 010 can be placed on the carrier 210, and the material 010 is located downstream of the push rod 222 along the first direction. At this time, the flipping component 310 is in the material receiving position, and the stop 3123 of the clamping claw portion 3122 of the clamping claw cylinder 312 faces the carrier 210; then, the second linear drive member 221 is actuated to drive the push rod 222 to move along the first direction to push the material 010 to the stop 3123 of the clamping claw portion 3122. In the process of the push rod 222 moving along the first direction to push the material 010, the elastic The element 223 is compressed; then, the clamping claws 3122 of the clamping claw cylinder 312 are close to each other to fix the material 010; then, the first linear drive member 321 is actuated to move the driving rack 323 along the first direction, driving the driving gear 322 to rotate, so that the flip shaft 330 rotates, thereby realizing the flipping operation of the flipping component 310 together with the material 010; after the flipping component 310 flips to abut against the second oil pressure buffer 510, the flipping component 310 stops moving. At this time, the flipping component 310 is in the feeding position, and the material 010 can be taken away for subsequent process steps. In the above process, when the second linear drive member 221 no longer applies thrust to the push rod 222, the push rod 222 will be reset under the action of the elastic element 223 to wait for the next pushing action.

[0058] After completing the feeding operation, the first linear drive member 321 will move in the reverse direction, causing the driving rack 323 to move in the opposite direction to the first direction, driving the driving gear 322 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the flip shaft 330 rotates in the reverse direction, thereby switching the flip component 310 from the feeding position to the receiving position, waiting for the next receiving action.

[0059] This setting of the pushing drive component 220 makes the delivery path of the material 010 a straight path along the first direction, and the pushing reliability is high. Moreover, the setting of the elastic element 223 can also realize the automatic resetting of the push rod 222 to ensure that the push rod 222 can continue to complete the next pushing action.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second linear drive member 221 is a cylinder. This configuration can simplify the control logic of the first linear drive member 321 and reduce the control difficulty.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 200 may further include a positioning plate 230. Specifically, the positioning plate 230 is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the supporting platform 210. The positioning plate 230 has a notch 231 on the edge of the flipping component 310, wherein the notch 231 is used to position the material 010.

[0062] By providing the positioning plate 230 with the notch 231 , the material 010 can be positioned by the positioning plate 230 when being placed on the carrier 210 , so as to ensure that the material 010 can be accurately pushed to the clamping claw portion 3122 of the clamping claw cylinder 312 .

[0063] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the material 010 is a roughly flat material. When the material 010 is placed on the supporting platform 210, the main body of the material 010 is located in the notch 231, and the side of the material 010 hangs laterally from the supporting platform 210 and is opposite to the push rod 222 along a first direction, so that when the push rod 222 is extended, it can push the material 010 through the side of the material 010 to the stop 3123 of the clamping jaw portion 3122.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the positioning and flipping device may further include a transfer mechanism 600. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 600 has a transfer output end whose power output direction is parallel to the first direction, and the mounting seat 100 is fixedly connected to the transfer output end.

[0065] The setting of the above-mentioned transfer mechanism 600 can realize the reciprocating movement of the mounting seat 100 along the first direction, thereby achieving the purpose of reciprocating movement of the positioning mechanism 200 and the flipping mechanism 300 arranged on the mounting seat 100 along the first direction, making it convenient for the positioning and flipping device to receive materials at one place and deliver materials at another place, thereby increasing the scope of use of the positioning and flipping device.

[0066] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 600 may be a slide cylinder.

[0067] That is to say, in this embodiment, whether it is the first linear drive component 321 in the flipping mechanism 300, the second linear drive component 221 in the positioning mechanism 200, or the transfer mechanism 600, its power component can be a cylinder. This setting avoids the complex control logic caused by the mixed use of electric drive components and pneumatic drive components, greatly reduces the time required for program writing, and thus improves debugging efficiency.

[0068] In other embodiments, the transfer mechanism 600 may also drive the mounting base 100 in the form of a combination of a rotating motor and a belt transmission mechanism. In this case, the transfer mechanism 600 is powered by a rotating motor, is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100 through a transmission belt in the belt transmission mechanism, and a transfer output end is formed by the transmission belt.

Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
