DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic positioning and flipping device, which includes a bottom plate 1. The upper surface of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a frame 2 through a support rod. A stepping motor 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 2. The output end of the stepping motor 3 is fixedly installed with a driving roller 4. A conveyor belt 5 is drivingly connected to the arc-shaped outer wall of the driving roller 4. A lifting device 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. The output end of the lifting device 6 is fixedly installed with a trigger plate 7. A lifting cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. A flipping motor 9 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the output end of the lifting cylinder 8. The output end of the flipping motor 9 is fixedly installed with a U-shaped clamp 10. An auxiliary positioning component 11 is arranged inside the U-shaped clamp 10. The auxiliary positioning component 11 includes a small motor 111, a transmission rod 112, a swing plate 113, a rotating rod 114, a contact plate 115, a volute spring 116, a round rod 117 and a contact wheel 118.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a small motor 111 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the U-shaped clamp 10. The output end of the small motor 111 is fixedly installed with a transmission rod 112. The transmission rod 112 penetrates through a swing plate 113, and the swing plate 113 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 112. A rectangular groove is opened on the side wall of the end of the swing plate 113 away from the transmission rod 112. A rotating rod 114 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove. The rotating rod 114 penetrates through a contact plate 115, and the contact plate 115 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 114. A volute spring 116 is sleeved on the arc-shaped outer wall of the rotating rod 114. A round rod 117 is rotatably installed on the bottom inner wall of the U-shaped clamp 10. A contact wheel 118 is sleeved on the arc-shaped outer wall of the round rod 117.

[0027] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, and the controller is electrically connected to the stepping motor 3, the lifting device 6, the lifting cylinder 8, the flipping motor 9, and the small motor 111 through wires. The operator can control the start and stop of the corresponding devices through the controller to facilitate the normal use of the flipping device. At the same time, two sets of conveyor belts 5 are provided, and the two sets of conveyor belts 5 are mirror-symmetrically arranged at both ends of the central axis of the driving roller 4, so as to form a cavity in the central area of the frame 2. The two sets of conveyor belts 5 can support both sides of the printed product to ensure its stable transmission. In addition, the lifting device 6 is arranged on the central axis of the bottom plate 1. At the same time, an inductor is provided on the side of the trigger plate 7. When the driving roller 4 rotates, and then cooperates with the conveyor belt 5 to drive the printed product on its surface to move. Until the surface of the printed product contacts the trigger plate 7, the controller on the bottom plate 1 controls the lifting cylinder 8 to start. At this time, the printed cardboard is inside the U-shaped clamping block 10. Then, through the lifting of the lifting cylinder 8, the U-shaped clamping block 10 drives the printed cardboard to move upward until it reaches the preset position. Then, the flipping motor 9 is started to make the U-shaped clamping block 10 drive the printed cardboard to flip 180°. Thus, the originally lower side of the printed cardboard is flipped to the upper side. After the flipping is completed, the flipping motor 9 is turned off. At this time, the lifting cylinder 8 is controlled to contract, so that the U-shaped clamping block 10 drives the printed cardboard to contact the conveyor belt 5. At the same time, the controller controls the lifting device 6 to drive the trigger plate 7 to move downward, no longer blocking the movement of the printed cardboard. At this time, in cooperation with the movement of the conveyor belt 5, the printed cardboard can be driven to continue to be transported to the right and enter the next printing operation area.

[0028] In addition, a storage groove with a width adapted to the width of the swing plate 113 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the U-shaped clamping block 10. In the initial state, the swing plate 113 is inside the storage groove. At the same time, the end of the storage groove is trapezoidal, which is convenient for storing the contact plate 115. Specifically, two sets of contact plates 115 are provided, and the two sets of contact plates 115 are arranged in a V-shape. At the same time, the mutually approaching sides of the two sets of contact plates 115 are provided with arc-shaped surfaces. So that when the swing plate 113 swings downward until it contacts the surface of the printed cardboard, through the continuous downward pressure of the swing plate 113, the contact plate 115 with an arc-shaped surface at the bottom will deflect outward with the rotating rod 114 as the rotation center to form a Y-shaped contact surface on the surface of the printed cardboard. Thus, it can play an anti-slip and anti-detachment effect on the printed cardboard when it is flipped. Furthermore, multiple sets of contact wheels 118 are provided, and the multiple sets of contact wheels 118 are linearly arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the U-shaped clamping block 10. And the bottom surface of the U-shaped clamping block 10 is provided with an arc-shaped surface. By providing multiple sets of contact wheels 118 and cooperating with the U-shaped clamping block 10 with an arc-shaped surface at the bottom, it is possible to avoid the situation of jamming of the printed product during movement and ensure the stability of the flipping operation process.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present utility model, an anti-slip component 12 is disposed inside the contact wheel 118. The anti-slip component 12 includes a fixing block 121. The fixing block 121 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the round rod 117. A return spring 122 is fixedly connected between the fixing block 121 and the inner wall of the contact wheel 118. A corrugation 123 is disposed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the contact wheel 118.

[0030] Specifically, a rectangular groove with a width adapted to the width of the fixing block 121 is formed inside the contact wheel 118, and the return spring 122 is disposed inside this rectangular groove. At the same time, the return spring 122 is disposed on the left and right sides of the fixing block 121, so that the contact wheel 118 can move horizontally along the round rod 117. When the swing plate 113 swings downward until the contact plate 115 presses against the surface of the printed cardboard, the printed cardboard will be laterally offset inside the U-shaped clamping block 10. At this time, through the lateral push of the printed cardboard on the contact wheel 118 and the elastic force of the return spring 122, multiple groups of contact wheels 118 can provide a reverse force toward the center side of the printed cardboard in the horizontal direction to ensure the stability of the printed cardboard during the flipping process, thereby facilitating the subsequent printing operation.

[0031] In the present utility model, during use, the stepping motor 3 is started, and in cooperation with the transmission roller 4 and the conveyor belt 5, the printed cardboard is transported from left to right until the surface of the printed product contacts the trigger plate 7. Then, the controller on the bottom plate 1 controls the lifting cylinder 8 to start. At this time, the printed cardboard is inside the U-shaped clamping block 10. Then, the small motor 111 is started, and in cooperation with the transmission rod 112, the swing plate 113 is driven to rotate until the contact plate 115 is tightly attached to the surface of the printed cardboard until the printed cardboard is fixed with the U-shaped clamping block 10. Then, through the lifting of the lifting cylinder 8, the U-shaped clamping block 10 drives the printed cardboard to move upward until it reaches a preset position. Then, the flipping motor 9 is started to make the U-shaped clamping block 10 drive the printed cardboard to perform a 180° flip, so that the originally lower side of the printed cardboard is flipped to the upper side. After the flipping is completed, the flipping motor 9 is turned off. At this time, the lifting cylinder 8 is controlled to contract so that the U-shaped clamping block 10 drives the printed cardboard to contact the conveyor belt 5. At the same time, the controller controls the lifting device 6 to drive the trigger plate 7 to move downward, no longer blocking the movement of the printed cardboard. At this time, in cooperation with the movement of the conveyor belt 5, the printed cardboard can be driven to continue moving to the right and enter the next printing operation area.

[0032] The above has generally described the present utility model in detail. However, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the technical field. Therefore, modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
