Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of industrial automation equipment, in particular to a floating support plate type flap turning device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial automation, the production and manufacturing site often needs to flip the plate or sheet parts to achieve the upper and lower positions of the workpiece to complete the inspection, processing or assembly. At present, the methods to achieve this kind of position change usually include the mechanism of clamping the workpiece and then flipping it, and the mechanism of adsorbing the workpiece and then flipping it. This kind of flipping mechanism usually requires the fixture (or suction cup) and the workpiece to be clamped (or adsorbed) and lifted to complete the flip, and then put down. This method requires the workpiece to have a hard structure to withstand clamping or a flat surface to facilitate adsorption. If the workpiece cannot be clamped strongly or the surface is uneven and not easy to adsorb, this method is difficult to do. Therefore, this kind of mechanism has special requirements for the workpiece, and the general structure is more complex, the action rhythm is slow, and the space occupied is also larger.

[0003] In addition, some turning mechanisms guide the plate or sheet through a turning guide groove to complete the turning, but some workpieces are not allowed to be rubbed by the guide groove. In this case, this turning method is not convenient to use.

[0004] In summary, the current flipping mechanism has many defects such as poor applicability to a wide range of workpieces, complex structure, slow action rhythm, large space occupation and difficulty in cost control. It is necessary to develop a flipping mechanism that is widely applicable to workpieces, has a simple and compact structure, a fast action rhythm and low manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0026] It should be noted that the X-axis module 2 includes a driving screw 23, a guide rail 22 and an X-axis driving motor 21. The two ends of the driving screw 23 are respectively rotatably connected to the guide rail 22 on the frame 1.

[0027] In addition, the flip module 3 includes a flip frame 32, a floating support plate 33, a flip drive motor 34, a clutch electromagnet 342 and a clutch drum 341. The flip frame 32 is a "U"-shaped structure and its two ends are rotatably connected to the two side vertical plates of the flip pedestal 31 through a pin shaft 321. The side of the flip frame 32 is provided with an upper support plate attraction electromagnet 322 and a lower support plate attraction electromagnet 323. The floating support plate 33 is made of a transparent material and is provided with two and can be detachably arranged on the upper and lower sides of the flip frame 32. The support plate armatures 331 on the two floating support plates 33 are respectively connected to the upper support plate. The attraction electromagnet 322 and the lower support plate attraction electromagnet 323 are magnetically coupled and attracted. The vertical plates on both sides of the flip pedestal 31 are respectively provided with locking electromagnets 35 that are magnetically coupled and attracted with the locking armatures 324 on both sides of the flip frame 32. The flip drive motor 34 is installed on the upper bracket 11 on the frame 1.

[0030] In addition, the upper support plate attraction electromagnet 322, the lower support plate attraction electromagnet 323, the plate changing electromagnet 44 and the locking rotation electromagnet 35 are all energized and demagnetized electromagnets, and the clutch electromagnet 342 is an energized and magnetized electromagnet.

[0031] The X-axis drive motor 21 , the upper support plate attraction electromagnet 322 , the lower support plate attraction electromagnet 323 , the flip drive motor 34 , the clutch electromagnet 342 , the locking electromagnet 35 , the plate changing drive motor 41 , and the plate changing electromagnet 44 are all electrically connected to the controller 5 .

[0032] The initial working state of this device is:

[0033] Under the control of the controller 5, the plate-changing electromagnet 44 of the plate-changing module 4 loses power and becomes magnetic, and a floating support plate 33 is adsorbed under the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43, and the plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates outward to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to turn outward, so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 moves laterally away from the axis of the X-axis module 2 and the flip module 3;

[0034] The X-axis driving motor 21 drives the slider 24 of the X-axis module 2 to move rightward to the position close to the clutch electromagnet 342; then, the clutch electromagnet 342 is energized and generates magnetism, so that the coupling iron cores 3415 of the two clutch drums 341 on both sides are attracted and overcome the elastic force of the reset spring 3413 to extend and couple with the clutch electromagnet 342; then, the flip driving motor 34 rotates and drives the flip frame 32 to return to the horizontal position through the clutch electromagnet 342 and the two clutch drums 341 on both sides; at this time, the upper support plate attraction electromagnet 322 is energized and loses magnetism, and the lower support plate attraction electromagnet 323 loses electricity and gains magnetism and adsorbs the other floating support plate 33 under the flip frame 32; the locking electromagnet 35 loses electricity and gains magnetism to generate magnetic coupling with the locking armature 324 on the side of the flip frame 32, so that the flip frame 32 is locked in the horizontal position; at this time, the flip driving motor 34 stops rotating;

[0035] The clutch electromagnet 342 is powered off and loses its magnetism, so that the two clutch drums 341 on both sides thereof are retracted with the coupling iron core 3415 under the action of the reset spring 3413 and are separated from the clutch electromagnet 342;

[0036] The plate-changing electromagnet 44 of the plate-changing module 4 loses power and becomes magnetic, and adsorbs another floating support plate 33 under the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43. The plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates outward to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to turn outward, so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 moves laterally away from the axis of the X-axis module 2 and the flip module 3.

[0037] Under the control of the controller 5 , the X-axis driving motor 21 drives the slider 24 to move leftwards away from the clutch electromagnet 342 and move to a preset position so that the flip module 3 can receive the workpiece to be inspected.

[0038] At this point, the device has entered standby mode and started the following production cycle:

[0039] A manipulator installed at the production site places the workpiece to be inspected on the floating support plate 33 adsorbed under the flip frame 32. At this time, the inspection equipment installed separately inspects the upper side of the workpiece, and then prepares to inspect the other side of the workpiece.

[0040] At this time, the X-axis driving motor 21 drives the slider 24 to drive the flip module 3 to move rightward again to approach the clutch electromagnet 342; at this time, the clutch electromagnet 342 is energized and generates magnetism to overcome the effect of the return springs 3413 of the two clutch drums 341 on both sides thereof, so that the clutch electromagnet 342 and the clutch drum 341 are coupled and contacted due to magnetic attraction;

[0041] Then, the plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates inwards to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to turn inwards so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 is close to the flipping pedestal 31. At this time, the flipping frame 32 and the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 of the plate-changing module 4 are just aligned laterally. Then, the plate-changing electromagnet 44 of the plate-changing module 4 is energized and demagnetized, and the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 releases the adsorption of the floating support plate 33 below it and makes it fall onto the flipping frame 32.

[0042] Then, the upper support plate attracting electromagnet 322 of the flip module 3 loses power and gains magnetism, so the floating support plate 33 released by the plate changing electromagnet 44 is adsorbed above the flip frame 32, thereby cooperating with the lower support plate attracting electromagnet 323 to stably clamp the workpiece to be inspected;

[0043] Then, the plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates outward again to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to rotate outward so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 leaves the flipping pedestal 31 to avoid hindering the subsequent rotation of the flipping frame 32;

[0044] Then, the rotation locking electromagnet 35 is energized and loses its magnetism, and the magnetic coupling with the rotation locking armature 324 on the side of the flip frame 32 is released, so that the flip frame 32 can rotate freely;

[0045] Then, the flipping driving motor 34 of the flipping module 3 drives the flipping frame 32 to rotate 180 degrees through the magnetic coupling between the clutch electromagnet 342 and the clutch drum 341 on both sides thereof, thereby completing the flipping of the workpiece to be inspected;

[0046] Then, the locking rotation electromagnet 35 loses power and generates magnetic coupling with the locking rotation armature 324 on the side of the flip frame 32, so that the flip frame 32 is locked in the horizontal position;

[0047] Then, the plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates inward again to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to turn inward so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 is close to the upper floating support plate 33 of the flip frame 32;

[0048] Then, the upper support plate attraction electromagnet 322 located above the flip frame 32 is energized and demagnetized, releasing the floating support plate 33 above it;

[0049] Then, the plate-changing electromagnet 44 of the plate-changing module 4 loses power and becomes magnetic, and absorbs the floating support plate 33 above the flip frame 32. After that, the plate-changing driving motor 41 rotates outward again to drive the plate-changing crank arm 42 to turn outward, so that the plate-changing magnetic suction frame 43 and the floating support plate 33 thereon leave the flip platform 31 to avoid hindering the subsequent inspection of the other side of the workpiece to be inspected.

[0050] Then, the clutch electromagnet 342 is powered off and loses its magnetism, so that the two clutch drums 341 on both sides thereof are retracted with the coupling iron core 3415 under the action of the reset spring 3413 and are separated from the clutch electromagnet 342;

[0051] Then, the X-axis driving motor 21 drives the slider 24 of the X-axis module 2 to move to the left, away from the clutch electromagnet 342, and move to a preset position so as to inspect the other side of the workpiece to be inspected.

[0052] Finally, after the inspection of the workpiece is completed, the robot arm will take away the final inspection workpiece. At this point, the upper and lower sides of the workpiece have been inspected.

[0053] Then the above process can be continued in a cycle.

[0054] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
