During the unlocking process, the cam unlocking mechanism contacts the track profiling part, and gradually opens and closes through the lever principle. Usually, the spring supports and maintains the clamping action.

After rotating, the flipping wheel 1 pushes the product from a vertical state to the next workstation. Cam follower clamping mechanisms 2 are installed at the four corners of the flipping wheel 1. The cam follower clamping mechanisms 2 are evenly distributed. The rotation of the flipping wheel 1 makes the cam follower clamping mechanism 2 contact with the track profiling member 15.

The product feeding shot 3 makes the product enter the specified position correctly, and the product discharging shot 4 accurately transports the product to the next process.

[0025] The flipping mechanism is composed of a flipping wheel 1 and a vertical plate reinforcement fixed thereto, and a clamping mechanism composed of a spring and a cam follower is added to the flipping wheel 1 to ensure that the product is unlocked when entering the flipping mechanism and clamped to prevent the product from being thrown out during the flipping process.
