It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0046] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / embodiments shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concept of the present disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of the various embodiments / embodiments can be combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure.

[0047] The use of cross-hatching and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two successively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. In addition, the same figure numbers represent the same components.

[0048] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over," "connected to," or "coupled to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this purpose, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.

[0049] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "under," "down," "over," "upper," "above," "higher," and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")," to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is turned over, components described as "under" or "beneath" other components or features would subsequently be positioned "over" the other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0050] The terms used here are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be restrictive. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one (kind, person)" and "said (the)" are also intended to include plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" and their variations are used in this specification, it is explained that there are stated features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups, but it is not excluded that there are or add one or more other features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups. It should also be noted that, as used here, the terms "substantially", "approximately" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as degree terms, so that they are used to explain the inherent deviations of the measured values, calculated values ​​and / or the values ​​provided that will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0051] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a lifting and flipping mechanism according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a lifting and flipping mechanism from another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a lifting and flipping mechanism, which includes: a lifting device 100, a rotating device 200 and a holding device 300.

[0053] Specifically, the lifting and flipping mechanism of the present disclosure may further include a base 400 , which may be arranged in a vertical direction, and a slide rail is arranged on the base 400 , which is also arranged in a vertical direction or approximately in a vertical direction.

[0054] The lifting device 100 is arranged on the base 400. Specifically, the lifting device 100 may include a first driving device 110 and a slider 120. The first driving device 110 is arranged on the base 400, and the slider 120 is slidably arranged on the slide rail, so that under the drive of the first driving device 110, the slider 120 can move in the vertical direction, that is, generate a lifting action.

[0055] Specifically, the first driving device 110 may be a motor, and the motor drives the slider 120 to slide through a ball screw mechanism. Of course, the first driving device 110 may also be a linear driving mechanism such as a cylinder.

[0056] The lifting device 100 also includes a position detection device 130, which is a beam switch. Accordingly, a baffle is provided on the slider 120. When the baffle is located between the beam switch, the signal emitted by the beam switch can be blocked, so that the position detection device 130 can obtain the position of the slider 120.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the position detection devices 130 may be arranged in plurality in the vertical direction, so that the rotating device 200 can be accurately stopped at a required height by the position detection devices 130 .

[0058] The rotating device 200 is fixed to the lifting device 100 , and accordingly, the lifting device 100 drives the rotating device 200 to rise and fall.

[0059] Specifically, the rotating device 200 includes a second driving device 210 and a rotating body 220 .

[0060] The second driving device 210 is disposed on the slider 120 ; the rotating body 220 is rotatably disposed on the slider 120 , and the second driving device 210 drives the rotating body 220 to rotate.

[0061] Preferably, the second driving device 210 is a motor, and the rotation axis of the second driving device 210 is different from the rotation axis of the rotating body 220, and the second driving device 210 drives the rotating body 220 to rotate through a gear set. For example, the gear set includes a driving gear and a driven gear, the output shaft of the motor is provided with a driving gear, the rotating body 220 is provided with a driven gear, and the second driving device 210 can drive the rotating body 220 to rotate through the meshing of the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, due to the requirements of the lifting and flipping mechanism of the present invention, the rotating device 200 of the present invention can drive the holding device 300 to rotate a preset angle (for example, 180°), thereby realizing the flipping action of the holding device 300.

[0063] In the present disclosure, the rotation axis of the rotating body 220 is horizontal or substantially horizontal. In other words, the rotation axis of the rotating body 220 of the present disclosure is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the movement direction of the slider 120 .

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the present disclosure, the holding device 300 includes: a base plate 310, a seat component 320, a vacuum suction cup 330, a linear bearing 340, a sliding rod 350 and a pressure sensor 360 and other components.

[0065] The substrate 310 is disposed on the rotating body 220 of the rotating device 200. In a preferred embodiment, the center line of the substrate 310 coincides with the center line of the rotating body 220, so that the substrate 310 can be more stable during the rotation process.

[0066] The seat component 320 is floatingly disposed on the substrate 310 , and a vacuum suction cup 330 is disposed on the seat component 320 , so that the parts can be held by the suction force generated by the vacuum suction cup 330 , so that the parts will not fall off during the flipping process.

[0067] Specifically, the substrate 310 is provided with mounting holes, the number of which may be two, and a linear bearing 340 is provided in each mounting hole, a sliding rod 350 is slidably provided in the linear bearing 340, and the seat component 320 is provided at the upper end of the sliding rod 350, thereby, when the sliding rod 350 slides in the linear bearing 340, the seat component 320 can approach or move away from the substrate 310.

[0068] More preferably, the sliding rod 350 is provided with a spring, one end of the spring is mounted on the seat component 320, and the other end of the spring is mounted on the substrate 310, and the spring is in a pre-compressed state, that is, the spring can provide elastic force to the substrate 310 or the seat component 320.

[0069] Meanwhile, the other end of the sliding rod 350 is formed as a limiting portion, and the limiting portion is used to cooperate with the linear bearing 340 to prevent the sliding rod 350 from falling off from the linear bearing 340 .

[0070] In the present disclosure, the holding device 300 further includes a pressure sensor 360 , and the pressure sensor 360 is used to detect the pressure applied by the seat component 320 to the substrate 310 .

[0071] A pressure block is provided on the seat component 320, and the pressure block is used to contact the pressure sensor 360 and apply pressure to the pressure sensor 360. Preferably, a spring is provided on the outside of the pressure block, one end of the spring is in contact with the seat component 320, and the other end is in contact with the pressure sensor 360, so that the pressure block has a certain buffering effect when in contact with the pressure sensor 360.

[0072] Based on the above structure, the lifting and flipping mechanism disclosed in the present invention can realize the flipping of components in the automated assembly operation of the 3C industry, thereby ensuring accuracy, improving production capacity, and reducing labor costs.

[0073] When the lifting and flipping mechanism disclosed in the present invention is in use, after the product reaches the designated position, the lifting device descends, so that the vacuum suction cup reaches the material picking position and contacts the product; the pressure sensor detects the pressure, and protects the product from being damaged by judging whether the detected value is abnormal. Among them, if the pressure is too small, it indicates that the product is not in place; if the pressure is too large, it indicates that the lifting and flipping mechanism may have a fault, and an alarm is sounded to remind manual processing. After the pressure is normal, the vacuum suction absorbs the product, and then the lifting module is lifted up to drive the product to rise. Among them, the vacuum value can be monitored by the vacuum generator to determine whether the adsorption is successful. After the product is raised, the rotating device drives the product to rotate to the required angle, and an operation process is completed.
