[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the tilting device for tile production includes a first conveying mechanism 1 and a second conveying mechanism 2, and further includes a tilting mechanism 3 connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, and a control unit electrically connected to the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the tilting mechanism 3. The control unit is connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the tilting mechanism 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are arranged opposite to each other and have the same structure; the tilting mechanism 3 includes U-shaped frames 4 respectively connected to both sides of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, a tilting shaft 6 rotatably connected to the two U-shaped frames 4 and located between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, two groups of clamping mechanisms 7 arranged oppositely along the axis of the tilting shaft 6 on the tilting shaft 6, and a first motor 5 provided on one side of one U-shaped frame 4. The output shaft of the first motor 5 is connected to one end of the tilting shaft 6; one group of clamping mechanisms 7 is composed of two clamping components arranged oppositely and located on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The lower sides of the clamping components are on the same horizontal plane as the upper surfaces of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2; when tilting the tile, the tile moves from the first conveying mechanism 1 towards the tilting mechanism 3. After moving between the two clamping components, the control unit controls the two clamping components to approach both sides of the tile and clamp and fix it. Then, the control unit controls the first motor 5 to start. The first motor 5 drives the tilting shaft 6 to rotate, driving the clamped tile to tilt onto the second conveying mechanism 2. The control unit controls the two clamping components to separate from the tile. The second conveying mechanism 2 conveys the tilted tile. At the same time, the other group of clamping mechanisms 7 clamps and tilts the next tile. Thus, the device clamps both sides of the tile and then tilts it, preventing the problem that the front and back sides of the tile are easily damaged during the clamping and tilting process, and facilitating the continuous tilting and conveying of multiple tiles through the two groups of clamping mechanisms 7.

[0021] The clamping assembly includes a connecting plate 8 connected to the flipping shaft 6, a clamping plate 9 located on one side of the connecting plate 8, a cylinder 11 provided on the other side of the connecting plate 8, two guiding columns 12 connected to one side of the clamping plate 9 and arranged at intervals, and a limiting block 13 connected to one end of the guiding column 12 and located on the other side of the connecting plate 8. An opening for the guiding column 12 to pass through the connecting plate 8 is formed on the connecting plate 8. The output end of the cylinder 11 is connected to one side of the clamping plate 9 and is located between the two guiding columns 12. When the two clamping assemblies clamp and fix the ceramic tile, the cylinders 11 on the two clamping assemblies are activated to drive the two clamping plates 9 to approach the ceramic tile. The two guiding columns 12 move in the openings simultaneously and clamp and fix the two side edges of the ceramic tile.

[0022] A rubber pad 10 is connected to the other side of the clamping plate 9; the rubber pad 10 is used to prevent the clamping plate 9 from damaging the side edge of the ceramic tile.

[0023] The first conveying mechanism 1 includes two mounting plates 17 arranged at intervals, a first rotating shaft 18 and a second rotating shaft 19 rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 17 and arranged at intervals, two second belt rollers 22 connected to the first rotating shaft 18 and arranged at intervals, two first belt rollers 21 connected to the second rotating shaft 19 and arranged at intervals, a conveyor belt 23 provided on the correspondingly arranged first belt roller 21 and second belt roller 22, and a second motor 20 mounted on one side of one mounting plate 17. The output shaft of the second motor 20 is connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 19. One side of the mounting plate 17 is connected to the U-shaped frame 4. When conveying the ceramic tile, the ceramic tile is placed on the two conveyor belts 23. The second motor 20 drives the second rotating shaft 19 to rotate. The two first belt rollers 21 and the two second belt rollers 22 cooperate to drive the two conveyor belts 23 to convey the ceramic tile, thereby facilitating the conveying of the ceramic tile.

[0024] The control unit includes an L-shaped frame 14 provided on one side of one mounting plate 17, a photoelectric sensor 15 provided on the top side of the inner wall of the L-shaped frame 14 and corresponding between the two conveyor belts 23, and a controller 16 provided on one side of one U-shaped frame 4. The controller 16 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor 15, the first motor 5, the second motor 20, and the cylinder 11. After the ceramic tile is conveyed below the L-shaped frame 14, the photoelectric sensor 15 transmits the detected information to the controller 16. After a certain delay, the controller 16 controls the two cylinders 11 to be activated to clamp the ceramic tile, controls the first motor 5 to be activated for flipping through the controller 16, and controls the on and off of the second motor 20 through the controller 16.

[0025] Working principle: When flipping the ceramic tile, the ceramic tile moves from the first conveying mechanism 1 towards the flipping mechanism 3. After the ceramic tile is conveyed below the L-shaped frame 14, the photoelectric sensor 15 transmits the detected information to the controller 16. After moving between the two clamping components, the controller 16 controls the two cylinders 11 to open, driving the two clamping plates 9 to approach the ceramic tile. The two guide posts 12 move in the openings simultaneously and clamp and fix the two sides of the ceramic tile. Then, the controller 16 controls the first motor 5 to start. The first motor 5 drives the rotation shaft 6 to rotate, driving the clamped ceramic tile to flip onto the second conveying mechanism 2. The controller 16 controls the two cylinders 11 to drive the clamping plates 9 to separate from the ceramic tile. The second conveying mechanism 2 conveys the flipped ceramic tile. At the same time, another set of clamping mechanisms 7 clamp and flip the next ceramic tile. Furthermore, the device flips the ceramic tile by clamping the two sides of the ceramic tile, preventing the problem that the front and back sides of the ceramic tile are easily damaged during the clamping and flipping process, and facilitating the continuous flipping and conveying of multiple ceramic tiles through the two sets of clamping mechanisms 7.
