[0002] Usually, when inspecting sheet materials, a conveyor belt is used to continuously transport the materials to the inspection station and the unloading station in order to increase production efficiency. However, in this process, in order to ensure that the materials on the conveyor belt can accurately stay at the location of the inspection station, the conveying rate of the conveyor belt is generally reduced. At the same time, a certain interval is reserved for the placement of materials on the conveyor belt so that the sensor on the conveyor belt can identify the materials and control the conveyor belt to start and stop in time. As a result, the transfer time for the next piece of material on the conveyor belt to move to the inspection station is relatively long.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flip-type transfer device for sheet materials with short transfer time and high transfer accuracy. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. Embodiment 1

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a flip-type transfer device for sheet materials includes a loading station 1, a detection station 2 and an unloading station 3. A transfer mechanism for transferring materials is arranged between the loading station 1 and the detection station 2, and between the detection station 2 and the unloading station 3; the transfer mechanism includes a mounting slide 4 that can be vertically lifted and lowered and a clamping claw 5 that can clamp the material, and a telescopic cylinder 6 connected to the clamping claw 5 and a flipping cylinder 7 that can drive the telescopic cylinder 6 to rotate are arranged on the mounting slide 4.

[0028] When in use, the material can be placed on the loading station 1 by manual or mechanical loading equipment. The clamp 5 placed between the loading station 1 and the inspection station 2 is turned to a position horizontal to the material under the drive of the turning cylinder 7, and the telescopic cylinder 6 drives the clamp 5 to move toward the material on the loading station 1, and after clamping and taking the material, it turns in the opposite direction, and places the material on the inspection station 2 for inspection. Similarly, after the inspection of the material on the inspection station 2 is completed, the transfer mechanism between the inspection station 2 and the unloading station 3 can transfer the material to the unloading station 3, completing the material transfer work between the stations. In this process, after placing the material on the inspection station 2, the transfer mechanism between the loading station 1 and the inspection station 2 can be turned back to the loading station 1, and the next step of material transfer action can be carried out in advance, and the transfer mechanism between the inspection station 2 and the unloading station 3 can be used to accurately and stably transfer the sheet material, greatly reducing the material transfer time.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting slide 4 can be lifted vertically along the Z axis, the flip cylinder 7 can drive the telescopic cylinder 6 to rotate with the Y axis as the rotation axis, and the telescopic cylinder 6 can drive the clamp 5 to telescope along the X axis perpendicular to the Y axis, and the Y axis is perpendicular to the Z axis. In the process of flipping the material, the telescopic cylinder 6 can reduce the diameter of the material flipping, and the mounting slide 4 can be lowered along the Z axis to reduce the height of the material flipping, thereby reducing the range of motion of the action, thereby reducing the time to complete the action, and improving the transfer efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, Figure 1 In the figure, a, b, and c correspond to loading station 1, inspection station 2, and unloading station 3, respectively.

[0031] Furthermore, the mounting slide 4 is slidably connected to the mounting base 12 through a group of linear guides 11. The mounting base 12 is provided with a second lifting cylinder 13 connected to the mounting slide 4. The second cylinder can drive the mounting slide 4 to vertically lift and lower along the Z direction. While the linear guide 11 guides the moving direction of the mounting slide 4, it can also share the pressure exerted on the second lifting cylinder 13 by the mounting slide 4, the flip cylinder 7, the telescopic cylinder 6 and the clamp 5, thereby preventing the piston rod on the second lifting cylinder 13 from being overly pressurized and deformed.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, in the above technical solution, the clamp 5 includes a horizontal mounting plate 501 connected to the telescopic cylinder 6, and two electric clamping cylinders 502 are symmetrically arranged on the horizontal mounting plate 501 along the telescopic cylinder 6. The two electric clamping cylinders 502 clamp at both ends of the material to prevent the material from being deformed under the action of its own gravity and centrifugal force during the flipping process.

[0033] The above, such as Figure 1 As shown, the loading station 1, the inspection station 2, and the unloading station 3 all include a set of vertical plates 16 with intervals, and the materials can be overlapped on the top of the same set of vertical plates 16. Two sets of notches 1601 corresponding to the electric clamping cylinder 502 are provided on the top of the same set of vertical plates 16, so that the state of the materials on the clamping plates will not be affected before the clamping claws 5 grab the materials. Embodiment 2

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in the present technical solution, in order to facilitate the classification and processing of the inspected materials, a plurality of pusher assemblies arranged opposite to each other are provided on the unloading station 3, and the pusher assemblies include a push rod 8 with one end capable of engaging with the material, and a driving unit capable of driving the push rod 8 to vertically lift and horizontally move; wherein, the plurality of pusher assemblies can push the materials on the unloading station 3 to different positions. The materials placed on the unloading station 3 can be pushed to different positions by the pusher 8.

[0035] The above, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driving unit includes a first lifting cylinder 9 connected to the push rod 8, and the first lifting cylinder 9 is arranged on the slider of the servo screw 10, and the servo screw 10 is arranged along the length direction of the unloading station 3. The first lifting cylinder 9 can drive the push rod 8 to lift vertically. When one of the pushing components is actuated, the first lifting cylinders 9 on the other pushing components can drive the corresponding push rod 8 to rise to the top of the material or descend to the bottom of the material to avoid mutual interference. In the present technical solution, preferably, the end of the push rod 8 that is engaged with the material is stepped and abuts against the middle of one side of the material, so that the servo screw 10 drives the push rod 8 to push the material to one side more smoothly to prevent the material from being offset during movement.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the flip-type transfer mechanism for sheet materials in the technical solution also includes a material recovery mechanism on one side of the unloading station 3; the material recovery mechanism includes a lifting plate 14 and a Z-axis drive 17 capable of driving the lifting plate 14 to lift vertically, and a material box 15 capable of docking with the unloading station 3 is provided on the lifting plate 14, and the Z-axis drive 17 can drive the material box 15 to receive the material pushed down from the unloading station 3 by the pushing assembly. In the technical solution, preferably, the Z-axis drive 17 can select industrial automation equipment such as a servo slide, a lead screw slide, etc. that can drive the lifting plate 14 to accurately move.

[0037] As described above, the material box 15 is in a U shape, and a number of groups of limiting grooves 1501 capable of sliding and clamping with the two side edges of the material are arranged on the inner side thereof. The material pushing assembly and the material recovery mechanism can sequentially push the materials on the blanking station 3 into the limiting grooves 1501 in the material box 15, so that the materials are evenly distributed in the material box 15, preventing the materials from colliding and facilitating transportation.

[0038] Working principle: During use, the materials can be placed on the loading station 1 by manual, manipulator and other loading devices. The second lifting cylinder 13, the telescopic cylinder 6, the flipping cylinder 7 and the clamping jaws 5 cooperate with each other to move the materials from the loading station 1 to the detection station 2 and to move the materials from the detection station 2 to the blanking station 3. During this process, after the transfer mechanism between the loading station 1 and the detection station 2 places the materials on the detection station 2, it can be flipped back to the loading station 1 to perform the next material transfer action in advance, and cooperate with the transfer mechanism between the detection station 2 and the blanking station 3 to accurately and stably perform the transfer work of the sheet materials, greatly reducing the material transfer time. At the same time, during the flipping process of the materials, the telescopic cylinder 6 can be used to reduce the flipping diameter of the materials, and the mounting slide plate 4 can be used to lower the flipping height of the materials along the Z axis, so as to reduce the movement range of this action, and then reduce the time required to complete this action and improve the transfer efficiency.

[0039] Based on the ideal embodiments of the present invention as the inspiration, through the above description, relevant personnel can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content in the specification, and the technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
