DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following further describes the present application in detail Figures 2 - 4 with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] An embodiment of the present application discloses an inverted conveying device.

[0023] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the inverted conveying device includes a conveying column 4 arranged on the mounting frame. A spiral groove 5 is formed on the outer edge of the conveying column 4. A conveyor belt 6 that matches the size of the spiral groove 5 is slidably connected in the spiral groove 5. A driving mechanism for driving the movement of the conveyor belt 6 is arranged on the conveying column 4. A first flipping mechanism 7 and a second flipping mechanism 8 are respectively arranged at both ends of the conveying column 4. The conveying member 3 on the conveyor belt 6 is conveyed along the spiral groove 5. During the conveyance of the conveying member 3 from the first flipping mechanism 7 to the second flipping mechanism 8, the conveying member 3 changes from an upright state to an inverted state. The conveyor belt 6 is sequentially tensioned and wound between the first flipping mechanism 7, the second flipping mechanism 8 and the driving mechanism.

[0024] Therefore, when the driving mechanism is started, it drives the conveyor belt 6 and the conveying member 3 on the conveyor belt 6 to be conveyed along the spiral groove 5. During the conveyance of the conveying member 3 from the first flipping mechanism 7 to the second flipping mechanism 8, the back surface of the conveyor belt 6 changes from facing upward to facing downward as it moves along the spiral groove 5, so that the conveying member 3 changes from an upright state to an inverted state. The first flipping mechanism 7, the driving mechanism and the second flipping mechanism 8 reduce the labor cost. While realizing the automatic flipping of the conveying member 3, it saves time and effort and improves the production efficiency.

[0025] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a placing groove 28 matching the spiral groove 5 is formed at the bottom of the spiral groove 5. A plurality of magnets 29 are installed in the placing groove 28. The front surface of the conveyor belt 6 is in contact with the fixture 1 of the conveying member 3 and the back surface of the conveyor belt 6 is in contact with the magnets 29. Since an iron ring is embedded in the fixture 1 for installing the battery 2, the adsorption between the fixture 1 and the magnets 29 is utilized to reduce the possibility of the conveying member 3 deviating or falling off during the conveyance along the spiral groove 5, and improve the stability of the conveying member 3 during the conveyance from an upright state to an inverted state.

[0026] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the driving mechanism includes a mounting plate 9 bolted to the conveying column 4. A driving motor 10 is bolted to the mounting plate 9. A driving wheel 11 is installed at the output end of the driving motor 10. A first transmission wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 9. The conveyor belt 6 passing through the driving mechanism is tensioned and wound between the first transmission wheel 12 and the driving wheel 11. In the embodiment of the present application, the driving wheel 11 and the driving motor 10 are respectively installed on two end faces of the mounting plate 9, that is, the mounting plate 9 is located between the driving wheel 11 and the driving motor 10, thereby optimizing the spatial structure, improving the space utilization rate and enhancing the balance on both sides of the mounting plate 9.

[0027] Therefore, start the drive motor 10 to drive the rotation of the driving wheel 11 at the output end of the drive motor 10. Since the conveyor belt 6 is tensioned and wound between the first drive wheel 12 and the driving wheel 11, the conveyor belt 6 and the first drive wheel 12 are driven to move. The conveyor belt 6 passes through the first flipping mechanism 7 to convey the conveyor belt 6 and the conveying member 3 thereon along the spiral groove 5, realizing the inversion of the conveying member 3.

[0028] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a tension adjustment mechanism is provided on the mounting plate 9. The tension adjustment mechanism includes a second drive wheel 13, a tensioning wheel 14, and a third drive wheel 15 that are sequentially rotatably connected to the mounting plate 9. In the embodiment of the present application, the tensioning wheel 14 is located below the second drive wheel 13 and the third drive wheel 15. A tensioning hole is formed in the mounting plate 9, and the tensioning wheel 14 is slidably connected in the tensioning hole. The tensioning hole in the embodiment of the present application is a waist-shaped hole. Two retaining rings 21 are fixedly connected to the outer edge of the tensioning wheel 14. The two retaining rings 21 play a role in limiting the position of the conveyor belt 6, reducing the possibility of the conveyor belt 6 shifting in position, improving the stability of the conveyor belt 6 during the conveying process. The conveyor belt 6 is located between the two retaining rings 21, and the conveyor belt 6 passing through the tension adjustment mechanism is tensioned and wound between the second drive wheel 13, the tensioning wheel 14, and the third drive wheel 15. An adjustment unit for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 6 is provided on the mounting plate 9.

[0029] Therefore, the tensioning wheel 14 is used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 6. By adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel 14 in the tensioning hole, it is ensured that the sag of the conveyor belt 6 between the second drive wheel 13 and the third drive wheel 15 remains within a suitable range, so that the conveyor belt 6 can maintain an appropriate tension during operation, avoiding slippage of the conveyor belt 6 caused by insufficient tension or excessive wear of the conveyor belt 6 caused by excessive tension, improving the transmission efficiency of the conveyor belt 6 and facilitating subsequent replacement of the conveyor belt 6.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the adjustment unit includes a mounting seat 16 slidably connected to the mounting plate 9. The tensioning wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 16. A telescopic cylinder 17 is bolted to the mounting plate 9, and the mounting seat 16 is provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 17. Therefore, start the telescopic cylinder 17 to drive the movement of the mounting seat 16 at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 17. Since the tensioning wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 16, the position adjustment of the tensioning wheel 14 in the waist-shaped tensioning hole is realized, and the tension of the conveyor belt 6 can be adjusted.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, a slide rail 18 is bolted to the surface of the mounting plate 9 facing away from the tensioning wheel 14. In the embodiment of the present application, the slide rail 18 is arranged parallel to the waist-shaped tensioning hole. A slider 19 matching the size of the slide rail 18 is slidably connected to the slide rail 18. The mounting seat 16 is bolted to the slider 19. An adjustment block 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 16. The adjustment block 20 partially passes through the tensioning hole and the mounting plate 9 is located between the telescopic cylinder 17 and the mounting seat 16, thereby optimizing the spatial structure, improving the space utilization rate and enhancing the balance of the center of gravity on both sides of the mounting plate 9. Therefore, the slide rail 18 limits the moving direction of the slider 19, reduces the possibility of position deviation of the mounting seat 16 during the movement, and improves the stability when adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel 14.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first flip mechanism 7 includes a first reversing wheel 22, a second reversing wheel 23 and a third reversing wheel 24 which are connected to the conveying column 4 in rotation in sequence. In the embodiment of the present application, the first reversing wheel 22 is arranged at one end of the conveying column 4, the second reversing wheel 23 is arranged on the surface of the conveying column 4 facing the driving wheel 11, and the third reversing wheel 24 is arranged at the bottom of the conveying column 4. The conveyor belt 6 is sequentially tautly wound around the second reversing wheel 23, the third reversing wheel 24 and the first reversing wheel 22, and the front side of the conveyor belt 6 is wound around the outer edge of the first reversing wheel 22, and the back side of the conveyor belt 6 is wound around the outer edges of the second reversing wheel 23 and the third reversing wheel 24. Therefore, the driving motor 10 is started to drive the driving wheel 11 at the output end of the driving motor 10 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 6 passes through the first transmission wheel 12 and is sequentially wound between the second reversing wheel 23, the third reversing wheel 24 and the first reversing wheel 22, thereby driving the conveying member 3 on the conveyor belt 6 to be transported along the spiral groove 5.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second turning mechanism 8 includes a fourth reversing wheel 25, a fifth reversing wheel 26 and a sixth reversing wheel 27 which are rotatably connected to the conveying column 4 in sequence. In the embodiment of the present application, the sixth reversing wheel 27 is arranged at the end of the conveying column 4 away from the first reversing wheel 22, that is, the spiral groove 5 is located between the sixth reversing wheel 27 and the first reversing wheel 22, the fourth reversing wheel 25 is located at the top of the conveying column 4, and the fifth reversing wheel 26 is located on the surface of the conveying column 4 facing the driving wheel 11. The conveyor belt 6 is tightened and wound around the sixth reversing wheel 27, the fourth reversing wheel 25 and the fifth reversing wheel 26 in sequence, and the front side of the conveyor belt 6 is wound around the outer edge of the sixth reversing wheel 27, and the back side of the conveyor belt 6 is wound around the outer edges of the fourth reversing wheel 25 and the fifth reversing wheel 26 in sequence. Therefore, the conveyor belt 6 passing through the spiral groove 5 is connected to the tensioning mechanism after being wound around the sixth reversing wheel 27, the fourth reversing wheel 25 and the fifth reversing wheel 26 in sequence, thereby realizing the reversal and circular transportation of the conveyor belt 6.

[0034] The implementation principle of the embodiment of this application is as follows: Start the drive motor 10 to drive the rotation of the driving wheel 11 at the output end of the drive motor 10, thereby driving the conveyor belt 6 and the first transmission wheel 12 to move. After passing through the first transmission wheel 12, the conveyor belt 6 sequentially winds around the second reversing wheel 23, the third reversing wheel 24, and the first reversing wheel 22, and then drives the conveyor belt 6 and the conveying member 3 on the conveyor belt 6 to be conveyed along the spiral groove 5. During the conveyance of the conveying member 3 from the first flipping mechanism 7 to the second flipping mechanism 8, the back surface of the conveyor belt 6 changes from being upwardly disposed to being downwardly disposed as it moves along the spiral groove 5, causing the conveying member 3 to change from the upright state to the inverted state. After the inversion of the conveying member 3 is completed, the conveyor belt 6 passing through the spiral groove 5 sequentially winds around the sixth reversing wheel 27, the fourth reversing wheel 25, and the fifth reversing wheel 26. Subsequently, the conveyor belt 6 passes through the tensioning mechanism, that is, the conveyor belt 6 sequentially winds around the third transmission wheel 15, the tensioning wheel 14, and the second transmission wheel 13 and then winds around the outer edge of the driving wheel 11 to realize the circulation of the conveyor belt 6. By means of the first flipping mechanism 7, the driving mechanism, and the second flipping mechanism 8, the labor cost is reduced, and while realizing the automatic flipping of the conveying member 3, it saves time and effort and improves the production efficiency.
