DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the sake of illustration and convenience of description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0019] like Figure 1-2As shown, the technical solution of the utility model provides a tire turning mechanism, which is arranged on a conveyor line 1, and includes a turning mechanism 2 and an inclined receiving mechanism 3, and the receiving mechanism 3 is located behind the turning mechanism 2. The conveyor line 1 adopts belt conveying. When the tire is conveyed to the turning mechanism, the turning mechanism 2 is lifted to turn the tire over. After turning over, it is caught by the inclined receiving mechanism 3. Then, during the belt conveying process, the tire slides smoothly from the receiving mechanism 3 to the conveying belt. During the whole turning process, the belt is always in operation. The turning process does not affect the conveying efficiency. The turning mechanism 2 and the receiving mechanism 3 cooperate with each other to ensure the stability of tire turning and material dropping. The whole device has a simple structure and is easy to install and use.

[0020] The material tipping mechanism 2 includes a material tipping frame and a driving mechanism 1 connected to the material tipping frame, the material tipping frame is hinged to the conveyor line 1, and when the tire end is located above the material tipping frame, the driving mechanism 1 drives the conveyor frame to rotate at the hinge with the conveyor line 1. The material tipping frame is installed on the conveyor line 1 as a whole and is lifted or lowered by the driving mechanism 1.

[0021] The material turning frame includes a material turning frame 22 and a material turning roller 23 arranged at the bottom of the material turning frame 22, and the top height of the material turning roller 23 is lower than the top height of the conveyor belt. The driving mechanism 1 includes a cylinder 1 21, which is tilted and hinged to the material turning frame at one end and hinged to the frame on the conveyor line 1 at the other end. When the tire is conveyed to the end of the belt, the end of the tire is located above the material turning roller 23. At this time, the cylinder 1 21 is actuated to lift the material turning frame 22, and the material turning frame 22 rotates upward through the hinge with the conveyor line 1. The bottom of the tire contacts the conveyor line 1, and the top is lifted by the material turning rolling. At the same time, the conveyor belt runs forward. Under the joint action of the material turning roller 23 and the conveyor belt, the tire can be quickly turned over and fall on the receiving mechanism 3.

[0022] The material receiving mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31, a material receiving frame arranged on the slide rail 31, and a second driving mechanism for driving the material receiving frame to move on the slide rail 31. The slide rail 31 is arranged obliquely, and the material receiving frame moves from top to bottom when receiving materials. The material receiving frame includes a material receiving frame 32 and a plurality of material receiving rollers 33 arranged on the material receiving frame 32. The plurality of material receiving rollers 33 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. The slide rail 31 is arranged on both sides and is respectively installed on both sides of the conveyor belt. The second driving mechanism includes a second cylinder 34.

[0023] When receiving the material, the second cylinder 34 extends, pushing the receiving frame 32 to slide from top to bottom on the slide rail 31, and the turned tire falls onto the receiving roller 33. During the process of the tire falling from the receiving roller 33 to the conveyor belt, it is in rolling contact with the receiving roller 33, thereby reducing the friction between the two, so that the tire can fall stably and smoothly onto the conveyor belt. After the material is received, the second cylinder 34 shrinks, and the receiving frame 32 moves upward to avoid obstruction of the tire conveying at the next station.

[0024] The tire turning mechanism of the present invention is disposed as a whole above the conveyor line 1. By cooperating with the turning mechanism and the material receiving mechanism 3 and with the help of the movement of the conveyor belt, the tire can be turned over quickly during the tire conveying process.

[0025] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
