Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of automation equipment and provides a pneumatic up-and-down tilting mechanism. The mechanism includes a fixed base and a Z-axis lifting cylinder mounted on the fixed base. The Z-axis lifting cylinder is used to drive two rotary cylinders to move up and down. The two rotary cylinders are respectively connected to corresponding gripper cylinders and are used to drive the gripper cylinders to rotate. The drive end of the gripper cylinder is provided with two grippers that are driven to rotate and open and close. A buffer pad is provided on the side of the grippers facing each other. This utility model uses a Z-axis lifting cylinder, a rotary cylinder, and a gripper cylinder. Compared with a motor, the cylinder is less expensive and can reduce the overall cost of the equipment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation equipment, in particular to a pneumatic up and down turning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In automation equipment, the flipping mechanism is an important mechanical mechanism, which is widely used in various industrial equipment and machines. The flipping mechanism is used for engineering flipping requirements of goods of different specifications, and provides process transportation safely, smoothly and effectively.

[0003] In the prior art, the flipping mechanism relies more on the motor to realize the rotation, lifting and other actions, but the cost of the motor is high, which is not conducive to reducing the cost of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a pneumatic up and down turning mechanism.

[0005] Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part by the practice of the present disclosure.

[0006] The utility model discloses a pneumatic up and down flipping mechanism, which comprises a fixed seat and a Z-axis lifting cylinder installed on the fixed seat, wherein the Z-axis lifting cylinder is used to drive two rotating cylinders to move up and down, and the two rotating cylinders are respectively connected to corresponding clamping cylinders, which are used to drive the clamping cylinders to rotate, and the driving end of the clamping cylinder is provided with two clamping jaws which are driven to rotate and open and close, and a buffer pad is provided on the surface of the clamping jaws facing each other.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting column for preventing the slide table from descending is provided at the bottom of the Z-axis lifting cylinder.

[0008] The technical solution disclosed in this disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] Z-axis lifting cylinder, rotating cylinder and gripper cylinder are used. Compared with motors, cylinders have lower costs, which can reduce the overall cost of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pneumatic up and down flipping mechanism in the embodiment of this specification.

[0011] Wherein, the accompanying drawings are described as follows:

[0012] 1. Fixed seat; 2. Z-axis lifting cylinder; 3. Rotating cylinder; 4. Gripping cylinder; 5. Gripping jaws; 6. Buffer pad; 7. Limiting column. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] The accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted. It is understood that the proportions of the various components in the drawings do not constitute limitations of the present disclosure.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present specification provides a pneumatic up and down flipping mechanism, which includes a fixed base 1 and a Z-axis lifting cylinder 2 installed on the fixed base 1, the Z-axis lifting cylinder 2 is used to drive two rotating cylinders 3 to move up and down, the two rotating cylinders 3 are respectively connected to corresponding clamping cylinders 4, which are used to drive the clamping cylinders 4 to rotate, and the driving end of the clamping cylinder 4 is provided with two clamping jaws 5 which are driven by it to rotate and open, and a buffer pad 6 is provided on the side of the clamping jaws 5 facing each other.

[0016] The bottom of the Z-axis lifting cylinder 2 is provided with a limit column 7 for preventing the slide table from descending. The limit column 7 is used to prevent the driving slide table of the Z-axis lifting cylinder 2 from excessively sliding down and causing damage, so that the operation of heavy objects is safer.

[0017] Working principle: The gripper cylinder 4 is used to drive the gripper 5 to clamp the goods, the rotary cylinder 3 drives the gripper cylinder 4 to rotate to drive the goods to flip, and the Z-axis lifting cylinder 2 drives the goods on the two gripper cylinders 4 to lift and lower at the same time to adapt to more uses.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] A Z-axis lifting cylinder 2, a rotating cylinder 3 and a gripper cylinder 4 are used. Compared with motors, cylinders have lower costs, which can reduce the overall cost of the equipment.
