[0029] The utility model provides a product flipping loader, which drives the first material picking component to place the product at the first working position for operation through the driving component of the picking mechanism. After the operation is completed, the second material picking component of the flipping mechanism transfers the product on the first working position to the second working position for the next operation. Such a flipping loader can reduce manpower and avoid occupational diseases of workers. The picking mechanism and the flipping mechanism work together to adapt to a variety of usage scenarios that require flipping. Example

[0030] The utility model provides a product flip feeder, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown. It includes: a fixture 1, the fixture 1 includes a first working position 11 and a second working position 12; a picking mechanism 2, the picking mechanism 2 includes a first material picking component and a driving component 22, the first material picking component is connected to the driving component 22, and the picking mechanism 2 is used to place the product at the first working position 11; a flipping mechanism 3, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a second material picking component, a rotating component 31 and a moving component 32, the second material picking component is connected to the rotating component 31 and the moving component 32, and the flipping mechanism 3 is used to flip the product on the first working position 11 and transfer it to the second working position 12.

[0031] Through the division of labor and cooperation between the picking mechanism 2 and the turning mechanism 3, the embodiment of the utility model provides a product turning loading machine that can efficiently and accurately transfer products from one working position to another working position and perform necessary turning operations.

[0032] The fixture 1 includes two main working positions: a first working position 11 and a second working position 12. The two positions can be adjusted according to specific usage scenarios to accommodate products of different sizes, shapes and weights. The structure of the fixture 1 should ensure that the product can be stably placed in these two positions for subsequent operations.

[0033] The picking mechanism 2 is composed of a first picking component and a driving component 22. The first picking component is responsible for grabbing and placing the product, while the driving component 22 provides the necessary power and control. This structure enables the picking mechanism 2 to flexibly and accurately obtain the product from the conveyor belt or other sources and place it on the first working position 11 of the fixture 1. The picking mechanism 2 can first place the product at the first working position 11 or the second working position 12.

[0034] The flipping mechanism 3 is an important part of the feeder of the present application, and the flipping mechanism 3 includes a second material taking component, a rotating component 31 and a moving component 32. The second material taking component is responsible for grabbing the product from the first working position 11, while the rotating component 31 is responsible for flipping the product to a desired angle. The moving component 32 is responsible for transferring the flipped product to the second working position 12. Such a structure ensures that the product can be flipped and transferred smoothly and safely.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a product flipping loader which also includes a secondary positioning member 4. More specifically, the secondary positioning member 4 may be disposed on one side of the fixture 1. The provision of the secondary positioning member 4 is an important improvement in the product flipping loader, which can improve the positioning accuracy, production efficiency and product yield of the equipment. The secondary positioning member 4 is disposed on one side of the fixture 1, usually at a key point of the product flipping path, so as to accurately position the product before flipping or transferring. When the loader is started, a general picking mechanism 2 may be to pick up the product and then place it into the secondary positioning member 4. After the secondary positioning is completed, the picking mechanism 2 will take out the product on the secondary positioning member 4 and transfer it to the first working position 11 or the second working position 12 of the fixture 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, more specifically, the first working position 11 and the second working position 12 are arranged side by side. When the first working position 11 and the second working position 12 are arranged side by side, the flip loader of this structure becomes more compact and efficient. Among them, the first working position 11 and the second working position 12 are arranged side by side, usually on the same horizontal plane, but each is independent and separated by a certain distance. This structure allows the picking mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 to operate more efficiently, reducing unnecessary movement and waiting time. The first working position 11 is usually used for the initial processing or assembly of the product, while the second working position 12 is used for the subsequent processing or inspection of the product.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, more specifically, the secondary positioning member 4 is arranged side by side with the first working position 11. When the secondary positioning member 4 is arranged side by side with the first working position 11, such a structural layout provides higher accuracy and stability for the product flip loader. The secondary positioning member 4 is placed on one side of the fixture 1 and is arranged side by side with the first working position 11. The main function of the secondary positioning member 4 is to ensure that the product is accurately placed on the first working position 11. This structure reduces the waiting and moving time of the product after the positioning is completed, and improves production efficiency. Although the secondary positioning member 4 is arranged side by side with the first working position 11, the relative position between them can be adjusted as needed to adapt to products of different sizes and shapes and production needs. As an independent component, the secondary positioning member 4 can be easily maintained and replaced, reducing maintenance costs. The product flip loader design that sets the secondary positioning member 4 side by side with the first working position 11 provides a high-precision, high-efficiency and flexible processing solution, which is suitable for various industries that require flipping and transferring products.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, more specifically, an embodiment of the utility model provides a product flip loader that also includes an operating table 5, and the fixture 1 and the secondary positioning member 4 are both arranged on the operating table 5. In this way, the integrity of the equipment and the convenience of operation are further improved. The operating table 5 is an important part of the flip loader, providing a stable working platform, making the entire operation process smoother and more reliable. The structure of the operating table 5 can take into account the principles of ergonomics, so that the operator can operate comfortably and efficiently. The fixture 1 and the secondary positioning member 4 are integrated on the operating table 5, making the entire equipment more compact and stable, and reducing the floor space.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, more specifically, the height of the fixture 1 from the operating table 5 is greater than the height of the secondary positioning member 4 from the operating table 5. Figure 1 As shown, more specifically, the secondary positioning member 4 is disposed between the jig 1 and the picking mechanism 2. The jig 1 is mounted on the operating table 5, but its height is set relatively high, so that the product is in a position that is easier to operate and observe during operation. The secondary positioning member 4 is disposed between the jig 1 and the picking mechanism 2, that is, it is located before the picking mechanism 2 places the product on the jig 1. In this way, the secondary positioning member 4 can accurately position and adjust the product before it is placed on the jig 1, thereby improving efficiency, and such a work line is more reasonable, reducing the probability of errors.

[0040] The utility model embodiment provides a product flip feeder that can also include a start button 51. More specifically, it can also include a return to zero button 52. Figure 1 As shown, the start button 51 and the return to zero button 52 can be arranged on the operating table 5, and the start button and the return to zero button 52 can also be arranged side by side. Among them, the start button 51 is arranged on the operating table 5, and can be used to start the operation of the flip feeder. When the operator confirms that the equipment is ready, the start button 51 can be pressed to start the flip feeder to work. The return to zero button 52 is also arranged on the operating table 5, and is arranged side by side with the start button 51, which is convenient for the operator to find quickly. The function of the return to zero button 52 is to return all moving parts of the flip feeder, such as the picking mechanism 2, the flip mechanism 3, etc., to the initial position or reference position. By setting the start button 51 and the return to zero button 52, the operator can easily control the operation and stop of the flip feeder, thereby improving the operability of the equipment. When the equipment fails or needs to stop running, the return to zero button 52 can quickly restore the equipment to the initial state to avoid greater losses or dangers caused by the continued operation of the equipment. By controlling the start button 51 and the return to zero button 52, the operator can flexibly control the operating state of the equipment according to actual needs to adapt to different production needs.

[0041] An exemplary description of one possible operation mode of a product flipping loader of the present application is as follows:

[0042] Initial state: After the device is powered on, click the return to zero button 52, and all mechanisms return to the set initial origin; if the device does not return to zero, the feeder can be set to be unable to work to avoid damage to the mechanism.

[0043] Operation movement: after returning to zero, after turning on the start button 51, the picking mechanism 2 moves to the top of the product, takes out the product through the first material taking component, and then puts it into the secondary positioning member 4. After the secondary positioning is completed, the picking mechanism 2 takes out the product and moves to place it on the first working position 11 of the fixture 1. The laser engraving machine performs laser engraving on the first working position 11. After the laser engraving is completed, the flipping mechanism 3 takes the product from the first working position 11 and completes the flipping, and then puts it into the second working position 12. The laser engraving machine continues to perform laser engraving. After the laser engraving is completed, the product in the fixture 1 is taken out. The above actions can be repeated.

[0044] The present application provides a product flipping loader which has strong versatility and can be used in various double-station flipping scenarios; it can reduce manpower and avoid artificial occupational diseases; it can improve product yield and improve operating efficiency.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, more specifically, a plurality of suction cups 211 may be provided on the first material picking component. A plurality of suction cups 211 may be provided on the first material picking component, so that the flexibility and efficiency of material picking can be improved. The first material picking component is an important part of the flip feeder, and its main function may be to grab products from input sources such as conveyor belts, material trays, etc., and accurately place them on the first working position 11 or the second working position 12 or the secondary positioning member 4 on the fixture 1. A plurality of suction cups 211 are provided on the first material picking component, and the number and layout of these suction cups 211 are carefully designed according to the size, weight and shape of the product to ensure that the product can be grabbed stably and reliably. The suction cup 211 adsorbs the surface of the product by generating negative pressure, thereby achieving the grabbing of the product. Due to the joint action of multiple suction cups 211, this structure can more evenly disperse the weight of the product and improve the stability of grabbing. The material of the suction cup 211 can be selected from materials with excellent properties such as wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance to adapt to various complex working environments.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the product flipping loader provided in the embodiment of the utility model drives the first material picking component to place the product at the first working position for operation through the driving component of the picking mechanism. After the operation is completed, the product at the first working position is transferred to the second working position by the second material picking component of the flipping mechanism for the next operation. Such a flipping loader can reduce manpower and avoid occupational diseases of workers. The picking mechanism and the flipping mechanism work together to adapt to a variety of usage scenarios that require flipping.

[0047] 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.
