[0002] In the technical field of in-mold labeling equipment, the labeling, detection and stacking of products are important links in an automated production line. With the continuous development of automation technology, improving production efficiency and product quality has become an urgent need in the industry. Traditional labeling and stacking equipment often has a single function and cannot meet the requirements of efficient and precise production. Especially when complex operations such as flipping, detecting and re-stacking products are required, the limitations of traditional equipment are more obvious. Therefore, developing a system that can integrate the functions of exchange, flipping and stacking is of great significance for improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Existing exchange and stacking systems usually have problems of complex operation and low efficiency, and often do not have a flipping function. This makes it necessary to equip additional flipping equipment on the production line when dealing with products that require double-sided labeling or detection, which not only increases costs but also reduces production efficiency. In addition, traditional stacking systems usually cannot achieve rapid exchange of fixtures, further limiting the flexibility of the production line. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of exchange, flipping and stacking system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an exchange, flipping and stacking system to solve the problems in the above background art that existing exchange and stacking systems usually have complex operation and low efficiency, and often do not have a flipping function.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The present utility model provides an exchange inversion stacking system, as Figures 1-4 shown, including an exchange mechanism 11 and an inversion stacking mechanism 12. The exchange mechanism 11 includes a first up-and-down running mechanism 13 and a front-back running mechanism 14. One or more groups of exchange fixtures 15 are arranged on both sides of the first up-and-down running mechanism 13 and the front-back running mechanism 14. The exchange fixture 15 is installed on a frame. The mold insertion arm 2 runs to the corresponding position of the exchange mechanism 11. The exchange fixture 15 moves upward, advances to pick up the product on the picking fixture, moves downward to the position of the inversion stacking mechanism 12, the exchange mechanism 11 advances, the product is exchanged to the inversion stacking mechanism 12, the exchange mechanism 11 retreats and moves upward to the standby position. The inversion stacking mechanism 12 includes a second up-and-down running mechanism 16 and an inversion mechanism 17. The inversion stacking mechanism 12 moves upward to the corresponding position of the exchange mechanism 11, picks up the product and moves downward. After being inverted 90°, the products are stacked on the conveyor belt. When a certain number of products are stacked, the conveyor belt moves forward. The second up-and-down running mechanism 16 and the inversion mechanism 17 of the inversion stacking mechanism 12 realize the rapid inversion of the product during the running process. This design simplifies the production process and improves the production efficiency.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first mounting plate 111 is provided below the switching mechanism 11, a second mounting plate 121 is provided below the flipping and stacking mechanism 12, and an adjustable mounting connecting plate 18 is provided on the side of the switching mechanism 11 and the flipping and stacking mechanism 12. The adjustable mounting connecting plate 18 is provided with an adjustable positioning plate 19, and the adjustable positioning plate 19 is fixed to the side of the adjustable mounting connecting plate 18, facilitating the installation and position adjustment of the switching mechanism 11 and the flipping and stacking mechanism 12.

[0024] Specifically, the switching mechanism 11 is fixed inside the gantry frame 1, and the flipping and stacking mechanism 12 is located below the switching mechanism 11.

[0025] Further, the first up and down running mechanism 13 adopts a vertically installed linear slide, and the output end of the linear slide is fixedly connected to the frame of the switching jig 15. The output end of the linear slide drives the frame to move up and down, thereby driving the switching jig 15 to move up and down, for ensuring the stable up and down movement of the switching jig 15.

[0026] Further, the front and back running mechanism 14 adopts a cylinder, the housing of the cylinder is installed on the frame, and the output end is fixedly driven to drive the switching jig 15 to move back and forth, for ensuring the stable front and back operation of the switching jig 15.

[0027] Further, the second up and down running mechanism 16 adopts a vertically installed linear slide, and the output end of the linear slide is fixedly connected to the end of the flipping mechanism 17, for ensuring the stable up and down operation of the stacking jig 171.

[0028] Further, the flipping mechanism 17 includes a rotating rod, several stacking jigs 171 are fixed on the rotating rod, and one end of the rotating rod is driven to rotate by a motor, thereby realizing the rotating action of the stacking jig 171.

[0029] Further, a row of stacking jigs 171 are installed on a jig connecting plate, and the jig connecting plate is installed on the rotating rod, ensuring that multiple stacking jigs 171 can be installed simultaneously.

[0030] When the switching, flipping and stacking system of the present utility model is in use, first, the mold loading arm 2 transports the product to the corresponding position of the switching mechanism 11. At this time, the first up and down running mechanism 13 drives the switching jig 15 to move upward, so that the switching jig 15 is aligned with the picking jig on the mold loading arm 2. Then, the cylinder of the front and back running mechanism 14 drives the switching jig 15 to move forward, and takes the product from the picking jig.

[0031] After the picking is completed, the first up and down running mechanism 13 drives the switching jig 15 to move downward to the position of the flipping and stacking mechanism 12. At this time, the front and back running mechanism 14 acts again, so that the switching jig 15 moves forward, and exchanges the product to the stacking jig 171 of the flipping and stacking mechanism 12. After the exchange is completed, the switching jig 15 moves backward and upward to the standby position.

[0032] Next, the flipping and stacking mechanism 12 starts to work. The linear slide of the second up and down running mechanism 16 drives the stacking jig 171 to move upward to a position aligned with the conveyor belt. At this time, the motor of the flipping mechanism 17 drives the rotating rod to rotate 90°, so that the products on the stacking jig 171 are flipped and stacked onto the conveyor belt.

[0033] When a certain number of products are stacked, the conveyor belt moves forward to transport the stacked products away. At the same time, the second up and down running mechanism 16 and the flipping mechanism 17 of the flipping and stacking mechanism 12 act again to prepare for the next round of flipping and stacking operations.

[0034] During the whole process, the adjustable mounting connecting plates 18 and adjustable positioning plates 19 provided on the sides of the exchange mechanism 11 and the flipping and stacking mechanism 12 ensure the stable installation and precise positioning of the mechanisms, thus guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of product exchange, flipping and stacking.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that for the first up and down running mechanism 13, the front and back running mechanism 14, the second up and down running mechanism 16, etc. in this embodiment, the electronic components in the above components are all general standard components or components known to those skilled in the art.
