Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece processing and manufacturing equipment, in particular to a flipping mechanism and a transportation device. Background Art

[0002] In modern manufacturing, the turning operation of workpieces is a key step in the production process. Currently, there are mainly two ways to turn workpieces: manual turning and using automated equipment for turning. Although the method of manual turning is simple, it has low efficiency, especially when facing mass production. Using automated equipment for turning, such as robotic arms, can quickly complete the turning task, but these devices often have complex structures and high usage costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a flipping mechanism and a transportation device to improve the flipping efficiency of workpieces on the basis of low cost.

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a flipping mechanism for flipping a transported workpiece. The flipping mechanism includes:

[0005] A support frame is erected on a transmission mechanism for transporting the workpiece. The support frame is provided with a channel for passing through the workpiece, and a feeding port and a discharging port are respectively provided at both ends of the channel.

The lifting end is close to the transmission mechanism and is used for lifting the workpiece, and the guiding end is far from the transmission mechanism relative to the lifting end.

[0007] A first guiding member is inclined and arranged in the channel. One end of the first guiding member is connected to the guiding end, and the other end of the first guiding member is connected to the support frame. The first guiding member guides the lifted workpiece to rotate clockwise in the channel to a vertical state and matches the height of the workpiece in the vertical state.

The limiting member and the transmission mechanism are oppositely arranged along the third direction. The limiting member and the second support portion respectively slide and abut against opposite sides of the workpiece in a vertical state to limit the flipping angle of the workpiece.

[0021] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism further includes:

[0022] A second guide rail is disposed in the channel parallel to the first guide rail and is connected to the first support portion. A limiting groove is formed between the second guide rail and the first guide rail to limit the offset direction of the workpiece in a vertical state.

[0069] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a transportation device 200. The transportation device 200 includes a flipping mechanism 100 and a transmission mechanism 201. The flipping mechanism 100 is mounted on the transmission mechanism 201. The transmission mechanism 201 is used to transport the workpiece 300, and the flipping mechanism 100 is used to turn over the workpiece 300 transported on the transmission mechanism 201. Exemplarily, the transmission mechanism 201 may be a conveyor belt.

[0071] For the convenience of understanding, in some drawings of the present application, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established. The first direction is the X-axis direction, the second direction is the Y-axis direction, and the third direction is the Z-axis direction. Among them, the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the flipping mechanism 100 includes a support frame 10, a lifting member 20, a first guiding member 30, a first guide rail 40 and a second guiding member 50. The support frame 10 is mounted on a transmission mechanism 201 for transporting a workpiece 300. The support frame 10 is provided with a passage 11 for the workpiece 300 to pass through. An inlet 111 and an outlet 112 are respectively provided at two ends of the passage 11. The lifting member 20 is inclined and arranged at the inlet 111 and connected to the support frame 10. The lifting member 20 includes a lifting end 21 and a guiding end 22. The lifting end 21 is close to the transmission mechanism 201 and is used for lifting the workpiece 300, and the guiding end 22 is farther from the transmission mechanism 201 than the lifting end 21. The first guiding member 30 is inclined and arranged in the passage 11. One end of the first guiding member 30 is connected to the guiding end 22, and the other end of the first guiding member 30 is connected to the support frame 10. The first guiding member 30 guides the lifted workpiece 300 to rotate clockwise in the passage 11 to a vertical state and matches the height of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state. The first guide rail 40 is arranged in the passage 11 and connected to the support frame 10, and is used for guiding and offsetting the moving direction of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state. The second guiding member 50 is inclined and arranged in the passage 11 and is respectively arranged on both sides of the first guide rail 40 along the direction from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112. One end of the second guiding member 50 is connected to the support frame 10, and the other end of the second guiding member 50 is close to the transmission mechanism 201, and the second guiding member 50 matches the height of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state and is used for guiding the workpiece 300 with an offset moving direction to rotate clockwise to a horizontal state.

[0073] For the above-mentioned flipping mechanism 100, first, the transmission mechanism 201 drives the workpiece 300 to move along the direction from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112. The lifting end 21 of the lifting member 20 lifts the workpiece 300 so that the guiding end 22 smoothly guides the lifted workpiece 300 to the first guiding member 30. Then, the first guiding member 30 uses its own inclined structural features to guide the lifted workpiece 300 to rotate clockwise in the passage 11 to a vertical state. Next, the first guide rail 40 guides and offsets the moving direction of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state, so that the workpiece 300 moves towards the second guiding member 50 under the transmission of the transmission mechanism 201. Finally, the second guiding member 50 uses its own inclined structural features to guide the workpiece 300 with an offset moving direction to rotate clockwise to a horizontal state, thereby completing the turning operation of the workpiece 300, replacing manual turning operations and eliminating the need to use complex automated equipment for turning operations, achieving the improvement of the turning efficiency of the workpiece 300 on the basis of low cost.

[0074] It should be noted that the first guiding member 30 and the second guiding member 50 being matched with the height of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state means that the heights of the first guiding member 30 and the second guiding member 50 in the Z-axis direction are greater than or equal to the height of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state in the Z-axis direction, which can ensure that the first guiding member 30 and the second guiding member 50 stably guide the workpiece 300 to flip. In other embodiments, the inclination directions of the first guiding member 30 and the second guiding member 50 are inconsistent with those in this embodiment, so that the workpiece 300 is flipped counterclockwise under the guidance of the first guiding member 30 and the second guiding member 50, and the flipping operation of the workpiece 300 can also be completed.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the support frame 10 includes a base plate 12 and a plurality of support bodies 13. The base plate 12 is arranged on one side of the transmission mechanism 201, and the plurality of support bodies 13 are uniformly arranged along the X-axis direction and are all erected above the transmission mechanism 201, and the plurality of support bodies 13 are all connected to the base plate 12. Each support body 13 is provided with a channel 11 along the Y-axis direction. Among them, the number of the lifting members 20, the first guiding members 30, the first guide rails 40 and the second guiding members 50 are all multiple, and they are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of channels 11. It can be understood that the above-mentioned "multiple" refers to two, three, four, etc.

[0076] In this way, by respectively arranging the multiple lifting members 20, the multiple first guiding members 30, the multiple first guide rails 40 and the multiple second guiding members 50 in the corresponding channels 11, the flipping mechanism 100 can simultaneously perform flipping operations on the multiple workpieces 300 transported by the transmission mechanism 201, improving the flipping efficiency of the flipping mechanism 100 and the transportation device 200.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 , in some embodiments, each support body 13 includes a first support portion 131, a second support portion 132, a connecting portion 133 and a covering portion 134. The first support portion 131 and the second support portion 132 are respectively arranged on both sides of the transmission mechanism 201 along the X-axis direction and are both connected to the base plate 12. The connecting portion 133 is arranged opposite to the transmission mechanism 201 along the Z-axis direction, the connecting portion 133 is respectively connected to the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 132, the connecting portion 133 is provided with a through hole 1331, and the through hole 1331 penetrates through the connecting portion 133 along the Z-axis direction and is located between the feeding port 111 and the discharging port 112. The covering portion 134 covers the through hole 1331 and is detachably connected to the connecting portion 133.

[0078] Thus, by setting the covering part 134 to cover the through hole 1331 and detachably connect with the connecting part 133, the covering part 134 can be detached from the connecting part 133, which is convenient for observing the flipping state of the workpiece 300 in the channel 11. At the same time, it is convenient for overhauling the flipping mechanism 100. The covering part 134 can also be installed on the connecting part 133 to separate the workpiece 300 from the external space, avoiding the interference of external factors on the workpiece 300 and affecting the flipping operation.

[0079] It should be noted that two adjacent support bodies 13 are connected to each other, and the first support part 131 and the second support part 132 of the two connected support bodies 13 have the same structure, so as to simplify the mechanical structure of the support frame 10. In addition, the number of the transmission mechanisms 201 can be multiple, and multiple transmission mechanisms 201 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with multiple support bodies 13. Multiple transmission mechanisms 201 are respectively arranged in the corresponding channels 11 and respectively transmit multiple workpieces 300 into the corresponding channels 11. The number of the transmission mechanisms 201 can also be one, and the channels 11 of multiple support bodies 13 share the same transmission mechanism 201. The same transmission mechanism 201 simultaneously transmits multiple workpieces 300 into multiple channels 11.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 100 further includes a limiting member 60. The limiting member 60 is arranged between the first guiding member 30 and the first guide rail 40 along the Y-axis direction and is rotatably connected with the connecting part 133. The limiting member 60 and the transmission mechanism 201 are arranged opposite to each other along the Z-axis direction. The limiting member 60 and the second support part 132 respectively slide and abut against the opposite sides of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state to limit the flipping angle of the workpiece 300.

[0081] Thus, by the limiting member 60 and the second support part 132 respectively sliding and abutting against the opposite sides of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state to limit the flipping angle of the workpiece 300, the workpiece 300 is kept in the vertical state, which is beneficial to ensuring that the second guiding member 50 stably guides the workpiece 300 to flip to the horizontal state.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 100 further includes a second guide rail 70. The second guide rail 70 is arranged in the channel 11 parallel to the first guide rail 40 and is connected with the first support part 131. A limiting groove 71 is formed between the second guide rail 70 and the first guide rail 40 to limit the offset direction of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state.

[0083] In this way, the limiting groove 71 formed between the second guide rail 70 and the first guide rail 40 limits the offset workpiece 300, enabling the workpiece 300 to move stably along its offset direction, preventing the workpiece 300 from offsetting again after the direction offset and misaligning with the second guiding member 50, thereby ensuring that the second guiding member 50 stably guides the workpiece 300.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, both the first guide rail 40 and the second guide rail 70 form a first included angle A with the second support portion 132 in the X-axis direction, and the angle range of the first included angle A is 30° - 45°, for example: 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°.

[0085] Specifically, if the angle of the first included angle A is less than 30°, the offset direction of the workpiece 300 is too small, resulting in the end of the workpiece 300 contacting the second guiding member 50, and further causing the second guiding member 50 unable to flip the workpiece 300. If the angle of the first included angle A is greater than 45°, the offset direction of the workpiece 300 is too large, resulting in a change in the orientation of the workpiece 300, that is, the workpiece 300 changes from the end facing the discharge port 112 to the side wall facing the discharge port 112. In this way, by setting the angle range of the first included angle A to 30° - 45°, the first guide rail 40 and the second guide rail 70 cooperate to stably guide the workpiece 300 to the second guiding member 50, so that the second guiding member 50 stably contacts the upper surface or the lower surface of the workpiece 300, and further enables the second guiding member 50 to stably guide the workpiece 300 to flip.

[0086] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the first guiding member 30 forms a second included angle B with the first support portion 131 in the X-axis direction, and the angle range of the second included angle B is 30° - 45°, for example: 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°.

[0087] Specifically, if the second included angle B is less than 30°, the guiding distance required for the first guiding member 30 to guide the workpiece 300 to the vertical state becomes longer, which is not conducive to the reasonable layout of the flipping mechanism 100. If the second included angle B is greater than 45°, the guiding distance of the first guiding member 30 is too short, resulting in the workpiece 300 being difficult to be stably guided to the vertical state. In this way, by setting the angle range of the second included angle B to 30° - 45°, the guiding distance of the first guiding member 30 is appropriate, so that the first guiding member 30 stably guides the workpiece 300 to flip to the vertical state.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the first guiding member 30 forms a third included angle C with the transmission mechanism 201 in the Z-axis direction, and the angle range of the third included angle C is 40° - 50°, for example: 40°, 45°, 50°.

[0089] Specifically, if the third included angle C is less than 40°, the workpiece 300 cannot be guided to the vertical state by the first guide member 30. If the third included angle C is greater than 50°, the drop between the first guide member 30 and the outlet end 22 is too large, such that the workpiece 300 cannot be smoothly exported to the first guide member 30 by the outlet end 22. Thus, by setting the angle range of the third included angle C to be 40° - 50°, the first guide member 30 and the outlet end 22 are stably connected, so that the first guide member 30 smoothly receives the tilted workpiece 300, and further the first guide member 30 stably flips the workpiece 300.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the second guide member 50 and the second support portion 132 form a fourth included angle D in the X-axis direction, and the angle range of the fourth included angle D is 30° - 45°, for example: 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°.

[0091] Specifically, if the angle of the fourth included angle D is less than 30°, the guiding distance of the second guide member 50 becomes longer, resulting in a more complex structure of the flipping mechanism 100. If the angle of the fourth included angle D is greater than 45°, the guiding distance of the second guide member 50 is too short, causing the workpiece 300 to be difficult to be stably guided to the horizontal state. Thus, by setting the angle range of the fourth included angle D to be 30° - 45°, the guiding distance of the second guide member 50 is appropriate, so that the second guide member 50 stably guides the workpiece 300 to flip to the horizontal state.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the second guide member 50 and the transmission mechanism 201 form a fifth included angle E in the Z-axis direction, and the angle range of the fifth included angle E is 40° - 50°, for example: 40°, 45°, 50°.

[0093] Specifically, if the angle of the fifth included angle E is less than 40°, the contact position between the second guide member 50 and the workpiece 300 is lowered, easily causing the workpiece 300 to shake or yaw when flipping to the horizontal state. If the angle of the fifth included angle E is greater than 50°, the speed at which the second guide member 50 guides the workpiece 300 to the horizontal state becomes faster, easily causing the workpiece 300 to flip too fast and collide violently with the transmission mechanism 201 and get damaged. Thus, by setting the angle range of the fifth included angle E to be 40° - 50°, the second guide member 50 can stably guide the workpiece 300 to flip to the horizontal state, avoiding damage to the workpiece 300 and ensuring the quality of the workpiece 300.

[0094] Please continue to refer to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the lifting member 20 and the conveying mechanism 201 form a sixth included angle F in the Z-axis direction, and the angle range of the sixth included angle F is 30° - 45°, for example: 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°.

[0095] Specifically, if the angle of the sixth included angle F is less than 30°, the amplitude of the lifting of the workpiece 300 will be small, making it impossible for the first guiding member 30 to stably guide the workpiece 300 to flip. If the angle of the sixth included angle F is greater than 45°, a height difference will be formed between the outlet end 22 and the first guiding member 30, making it impossible for the outlet end 22 to stably export the lifted workpiece 300 to the first guiding member 30. Thus, by setting the angle range of the sixth included angle F to 30° - 45°, the lifting member 20 can stably lift the workpiece 300 and export the workpiece 300 to the first guiding member 30, which is beneficial for the first guiding member 30 to stably flip the workpiece 300.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 100 further includes a flow guiding member 80. The flow guiding member 80 includes a first fluid guiding part 81 and a second fluid guiding part 82. The first fluid guiding part 81 and the second fluid guiding part 82 are arranged at intervals from the material inlet 111 to the material outlet 112. The first fluid guiding part 81 is farther from the conveying mechanism 201 than the second fluid guiding part 82, and both the first fluid guiding part 81 and the second fluid guiding part 82 are rotatably connected to the second supporting part 132.

[0097] Thus, when the workpiece 300 is moved into the channel 11 from the material inlet 111 driven by the conveying mechanism 201, the upper surface of the workpiece 300 moving to the material inlet 111 is successively slidably abutted by the first fluid guiding part 81 and the second fluid guiding part 82 at one end adjacent to the second supporting part 132, so as to ensure that the workpiece 300 flips in the clockwise direction, and at the same time guide the workpiece 300 to move stably from the material inlet 111 to the material outlet 112.

[0098] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 100 further includes a guiding member 90. The guiding member 90 is arranged on the side of the first guide rail 40 away from the conveying mechanism 201 and is connected to the second supporting part 132. The cross-sectional area of the guiding member 90 decreases from the material inlet 111 to the material outlet 112, and an arc-shaped guiding surface 91 is provided on the side of the guiding member 90 facing the first supporting part 131.

[0099] Thus, when the conveying mechanism 201 conveys the workpiece 300 in a vertical state towards the material outlet 112, the guiding member 90 guides the workpiece 300 in a vertical state through the arc-shaped guiding surface 91, so that the workpiece 300 can be stably moved into the limiting groove 71.

[0100] The working process of the conveying device 200 in the above embodiments is generally as follows:

[0101] First, the transfer mechanism 201 drives the workpiece 300 to move in the direction from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112, and the lifting end 21 of the lifter 20 lifts the workpiece 300 so that the guiding end 22 can smoothly guide the lifted workpiece 300 to the first guide member 30;

[0102] Then, the first guide member 30 uses its own inclined structural feature to guide the lifted workpiece 300 to rotate clockwise to the vertical state within the channel 11;

[0103] Next, the guide member 90 guides the workpiece 300 into the limiting groove 71 formed by the first guide rail 40 and the second guide rail 70. The first guide rail 40 and the second guide rail 70 guide and deflect the moving direction of the workpiece 300 in the vertical state, so that the workpiece 300 moves towards the second guide member 50 under the transmission of the transfer mechanism 201;

[0104] Finally, the second guide member 50 uses its own inclined structural feature to guide the workpiece 300 with a deflected moving direction to rotate clockwise to the horizontal state, thereby completing the turning operation of the workpiece 300, replacing the manual turning operation and eliminating the need to use complex automated equipment for the turning operation, achieving an improvement in the turning efficiency of the workpiece 300 on the basis of low cost.

[0105] In the above-mentioned transportation device 200, first, the inclined structural feature of the first guide member 30 is used to turn the lifted workpiece 300 to the vertical state, and then the inclined structural feature of the second guide member 50 is used to turn the workpiece 300 in the vertical state to the horizontal state, thereby completing the turning operation of the workpiece 300, replacing the manual turning operation and eliminating the need to use complex automated equipment for the turning operation, achieving an improvement in the turning efficiency of the workpiece 300 on the basis of low cost.

[0106] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
