[0029] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a part posture changing device 100, which includes a mounting platform 10 and a first rotating mechanism 20. The first rotating mechanism 20 includes a first mounting seat 21, a first rotating cylinder 22 and a first fixing fixture 23. The first mounting seat 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 10. The first rotating cylinder 22 is mounted on the first mounting seat 21. The first fixing fixture 23 is mounted on the first rotating cylinder 22 and is used to fix the part 11. The first rotating cylinder 22 is used to drive the first fixing fixture 23 to rotate so that the part 11 is changed from the first posture to the second posture.

[0032] In this embodiment, the part 11 is first installed in the first fixing fixture 23 in a first posture, and the first rotary cylinder 22 drives the first fixing fixture 23 to rotate 180 degrees around the X axis to change the part 11 from the first posture to the second posture. It can be understood that the first posture and the second posture of the part 11 are position changes relative to the horizontal plane.

[0033] Specifically, the first fixing fixture 23 includes a housing 231, a groove 232 for accommodating the part 11 is formed on the housing 231, and a first pressing plate 233 is also formed on the housing 231, and the first pressing plate 233 is rotatably connected to the housing 231, and is used to selectively press the part 11. It can be understood that before installing the part 11, the first pressing plate 233 rotates outside the groove 232, and the groove 232 can be used to install the part 11; after installing the part 11, the first pressing plate 233 rotates to a position opposite to the groove 232, and the first pressing plate 233 contacts the part 11, thereby pressing the part 11 tightly into the groove 232.

[0034] Optionally, the first fixing fixture 23 may also be provided with an elastic member (not shown) for causing the first pressing plate 233 to tighten toward the groove 232 , thereby further pressing the part 11 to prevent the part 11 from being thrown out during the rotation process.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to prevent the part 11 from being displaced and disengaged in the groove 232 , the shape of the groove 232 matches the shape of the part 11 , so that the part 11 abuts against the side wall of the groove 232 in the groove 232 without shaking.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The part posture changing device 100 further includes a second rotating mechanism 30.

The second fixing fixture 33 is mounted on the second rotating cylinder 32 and is used to fix the part 11. The second rotating cylinder 32 is used to drive the second fixing fixture 33 to rotate so that the part 11 is changed from the second posture to the third posture.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the part 11 is first installed in the second fixing fixture 33 in the second posture, and the second rotary cylinder 32 drives the second fixing fixture 33 to rotate 180 degrees around the Z axis to transform the part 11 from the second posture to the third posture.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the part 11 can be gripped and moved by a robot during the movement between the rotating mechanism and the processing equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, since the part 11 rotates around the Z axis, that is, the bottom of the part 11 is always in contact with the second fixing fixture 33. The second fixing fixture 33 can always support the part 11 during the rotation process. Therefore, the second fixing fixture 33 does not need to limit the displacement of the part 11 on the Z axis. The second fixing fixture 33 in this embodiment includes at least three clamping jaws 331, which are arranged at intervals around the Z axis, and only need to limit the displacement of the part 11 in the XY axis plane.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the part 11 is first installed in the third fixing fixture 45 in the third posture, and the third rotary cylinder 42 drives the fourth rotary cylinder 43 to rotate 180 degrees around the X axis to change the part 11 from the third posture to the fourth posture. Then the fourth rotary cylinder 43 drives the third fixing fixture 45 to rotate 180 degrees around the Y axis to change the part 11 from the fourth posture to the fifth posture. It can be understood that the third rotating mechanism 40 can realize the posture change of the part 11 in two directions.

[0042] Further, the third fixing fixture 45 includes a first fixing plate 451. A limiting card slot 452 is provided on the first fixing plate 451. The limiting card slot 452 is used to clamp the part 11. A second pressing plate 453 is also provided on the first fixing plate 451. The second pressing plate 453 is rotatably connected to the first fixing plate 451 and is used to selectively press the part 11. In this embodiment, the limiting card slot 452 is formed by being surrounded by a protrusion on the first fixing plate 451, and the height of the protrusion is consistent with the height of the part 11, so that the second pressing plate 453 can contact the part 11.

[0043] Optionally, the third fixing fixture 45 may also be provided with an elastic member (not shown) for tightening the second pressing plate 453 toward the first fixing plate 451 , thereby further pressing the part 11 to prevent the part 11 from being thrown out during the rotation.

[0045] Specifically, the connecting member 52 includes a connecting block 521 and a moving beam 522. The connecting block 521 is connected to the cylinder drive. The moving beam 522 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 521. The moving beam 522 is arranged parallel to the mounting platform 10. The fourth fixing fixture 53 is suspended on the moving beam 522.

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment, in order to simultaneously transform the postures of multiple parts 11, two first rotating mechanisms 20 and two second rotating mechanisms 30 are provided. At the same time, two fourth fixing fixtures 53 are also provided on the moving crossbeam 522. In other embodiments, three or more rotating mechanisms and fourth fixing fixtures 53 may be provided, and the present utility model does not limit this.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, in order to realize the transformation of the part 11 at all angles, the part posture transformation device 100 in this embodiment also includes a fourth rotating mechanism 60.
