Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of flange production, in particular to a turning device for flange production. Background Art
[0002] A flange is a disc-shaped part that connects two pipes, valves, or equipment. It usually has several screw holes to fasten it to another part. Flanges can be connected by bolts or threads to form a tight seal.
[0003] The neck flange is a special type of flange that has a protruding neck on the outer circle. This neck is used to connect to the outer surface of the pipe. The neck flange can be connected to the pipe by welding or threading. Its design forms a sealed connection between the pipe and the flange and has high mechanical strength.
[0004] During the production process, flanges may need to be tested and inspected. This may include pressure testing, leak testing, dimensional inspection, etc. Flipping the flange allows operators or mechanical equipment to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the flange to ensure its quality and compliance with standard requirements. Flanges dropped on the conveyor belt by the conveyor device will present a variety of forms, including neck side down and neck side up. Flanges in different placement states may require more time and effort to adjust, increasing the workload of production line workers. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] By turning the flange over through the turning mechanism, the turning work of the flange can be handed over to the machine to complete, thereby reducing the involvement of human beings. This can reduce the labor intensity and physical pressure of the staff and improve work efficiency. The turning mechanism can provide stable support and appropriate turning force, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the flange due to improper turning. This can ensure the quality and integrity of the flange and extend the service life of the flange.
[0019] The barrier bar can prevent the flange from falling from the conveyor belt, which may damage the equipment or work area below. By setting up the barrier bar, the flange can be prevented from falling directly on the equipment or causing damage to other equipment, protecting the safety and integrity of the equipment.
[0020] Through the coordinated setting of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the side with the neck and the side without the neck of the flange are completely monitored. By inspecting and monitoring the flange, it can be ensured that it complies with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations and standards. By inspecting and monitoring the flange, it can be discovered in time whether the flange has corrosion, cracks, and whether the size meets the standards, so as to prevent the use of problematic flanges and avoid causing production safety accidents.

Example
[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A turning device for flange production includes a first conveyor belt 21, which is used to transport neck flanges placed in any posture. When the first conveyor belt 21 is in operation, the flange with the neck facing downward is driven to an inclined state of flange 25 under the influence of inertia factors, including a straightening rod 33, which is used to contact the top of the inclined neck flange and shift it from flange 25 to the state presented by flange 1 24. A turning device for flange production includes: a turning mechanism and a monitoring mechanism. The turning mechanism is located on the right side of the first conveyor belt 21, and the monitoring mechanism is located on the right side of the turning mechanism and is symmetrically distributed.
[0033] Support columns 31 are disposed on both sides of the first conveyor belt 21 , and telescopic springs 32 are disposed on one side of the support columns 31 .
[0034] Two telescopic springs 32 are provided, and the two telescopic springs 32 are respectively connected to the two ends of the adjustment rod 33. A flange 1 24 and a flange 25 are placed on the top of the first conveyor belt 21, and the adjustment rod 33 is used to adjust the flange 25 to the same state as the flange 1 24.
[0035] A second conveyor belt 22 is arranged on the right side of the first conveyor belt 21. The second conveyor belt 22 is symmetrically arranged and has a hollow middle portion. A blocking rod 23 is arranged on the side of the first conveyor belt 21 away from the flange 24 to prevent the flange from falling off the outer surface of the first conveyor belt 21.
[0036] The turning mechanism includes a fixed platform 41 . The fixed platform 41 is disposed on the right side of the first conveyor belt 21 . A driving shaft 42 is rotatably connected between opposite surfaces of the fixed platform 41 .
[0037] The driving shaft 42 is externally connected to an external driving servo motor, and the servo motor is set to a program of 180-degree reciprocating rotation, so that the driving shaft 42 reciprocates 180 degrees.
[0038] A rotating block 43 is disposed on the outer surface of the driving shaft 42 , a fixed shaft 44 is disposed on a side of the rotating block 43 close to the first conveyor belt 21 , and a flip clamp 45 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fixed shaft 44 .
[0039] The flip clamp 45 is externally connected to an external driving cylinder, which may be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, etc., which can drive the flip clamp 45 to reciprocate along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 44 .
[0040] The monitoring mechanism includes a gantry 1 , which is disposed above the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 , and a monitoring laser 101 is disposed at the bottom of the gantry 1 .
[0041] When in use, the flange is placed on the first conveyor belt 21. At this time, the first conveyor belt 21 drives the flange to gradually approach the adjustment rod 33. When the flange with the same shape as flange 25 passes through the adjustment rod 33, the adjustment rod 33 adjusts flange 25 to the state of flange 1 24. At this time, when the flange passes through the gantry 1 of the first conveyor belt 21, the monitoring laser 101 monitors whether the neck side of the flange meets the quality standard. Further, when the flange is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 21 to the side close to the blocking rod 23, the external driving cylinders on both sides of the flip clamp 45 prompt the flip clamp 45 to rotate. The flange is clamped while moving synchronously in opposite directions. After the external drive motor of the drive shaft 42 is started, the drive shaft 42 begins to rotate back and forth 180 degrees. The rotating block 43 drives the flip clamp 45 to flip the flange. At this time, the flip clamp 45 moves away from the flange and places it on the second conveyor belt 22. Because the second conveyor belt 22 is symmetrically arranged and the middle part is hollow, the neck side of the flange can be stuck between the second conveyor belt 22. The monitoring laser 101 on the top of the second conveyor belt 22 will detect the side of the flange without the neck to ensure that the flange meets the requirements of relevant regulations and standards.
[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way.
