[0027] An automatic material turning mechanism provided by this utility model is used for turning the watch back case, and includes a support frame 11 arranged side by side to form a material channel, a conveyor belt 12 connected inside the support frame 11 for driving the fixture 15 to move, a limiting device 13 located inside the support frame 11 for fixing the fixture 15, and an adjusting device 14 connected to one side of the support frame 11 for turning and adjusting the direction of the watch back case. The limiting device 13 includes a mounting frame 131 and a limiting component 132 connected to the mounting frame 131. The limiting component 132 includes a first cylinder 1323, a limiting plate 1324 connected to the first cylinder 1323, a second cylinder 1321 located on one side of the first cylinder 1323, and a top plate 1322 connected to the second cylinder 1321. A plurality of baffle plates 111 are also arranged on both sides of the limiting component 132 on the support frame 11. The first cylinder 1323 drives the limiting plate 1324 to rise through the conveyor belt 12 to block the movement of the fixture 15 on the conveyor belt 12. The second cylinder 1321 drives the top plate 1322 to rise to move the fixture 15 away from the conveyor belt 12 and clamp it at the baffle plate 111. The support frame 11 is used to install the conveyor belt 12, the conveyor belt 12 is used to convey the fixture 15, the fixture 15 is used to place the watch back case, the limiting device 13 is used to limit the fixture 15, and the adjusting device 14 is used to turn and adjust the position of the watch back case on the fixture 15. When adjusting the watch back case, first, place the fixture 15 loaded with the watch back case on the conveyor belt 12. The first cylinder 1323 drives the limiting plate 1324 to rise. When the fixture 15 moves to the position of the limiting plate 1324 and fits with the limiting plate 1324, the fixture 15 stops moving. The second cylinder 1321 rises. The second cylinder 1321 drives the top plate 1322 to rise. The top plate 1322 drives the fixture 15 to rise. When the fixture 15 fits with the baffle plate 111 on the support frame 11, the fixture 15 stops moving. Both sides of the fixture 15 are limited by the top plate 1322 and the baffle plate 111 respectively, so as to fix the fixture 15 between the top plate 1322 and the limiting plate 1324, and separate the fixture 15 from the conveyor belt 12, thereby limiting the fixture 15 and preventing the fixture 15 from shaking on the conveyor belt 12. When the adjusting device 14 adjusts the position of the watch back case, it can effectively avoid the problem that the watch back case shakes and rubs against the adjusting device 14, without the need for manual repair again, making the appearance of the watch back case more beautiful.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3It is a three-dimensional view of the adjusting device of the automatic material turning mechanism of the present utility model. The adjusting device 14 includes a third cylinder 141, a rotary cylinder 143 that can move up and down on the third cylinder 141, and a clamping member 144 connected to the rotary cylinder 143 for clamping and loosening the watch back case. The third cylinder 141 is used to drive the rotary cylinder 143 to move up and down, and drive the clamping member 144 on the rotary cylinder 143 to approach or move away from the watch back case. After adjusting the watch back case, it can prevent the clamping member 144 from blocking the jig 15.
[0029] The adjusting device 14 is also provided with a fourth cylinder 142 located between the third cylinder 141 and the rotary cylinder 143 for extending the height of the rotary cylinder 143. The fourth cylinder 142 is used to increase the height of the rotary cylinder 143. When the rotary cylinder 143 flips the watch back case, enough space needs to be reserved to prevent the clamping member 144 from colliding with the jig 15 during the process of rotating the watch back case.
[0030] The adjusting device 14 is also provided with a Z-shaped fixing plate 145. The two ends of the fixing plate 145 are respectively connected to the third cylinder 141 and the fourth cylinder 142. The fixing plate 145 is used to connect the third cylinder 141 and the fourth cylinder 142. The fourth cylinder 142 is connected to the third cylinder 141 through the fixing plate 145, so that the third cylinder 141 can drive the fourth cylinder 142 to move up and down.
[0031] The adjusting device 14 is also provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixed to one side of the support frame 11. The third cylinder 141 is connected to the fixing plate 145. The connecting plate is used to fix the adjusting device 14 to one side of the support frame 11, making the automatic flipping mechanism more compact and effectively reducing the volume of the automatic flipping mechanism.
[0032] There are two adjusting devices 14, and the two adjusting devices 14 are arranged side by side. The two adjusting devices 14 can simultaneously flip two watch back cases, effectively accelerating the efficiency of adjusting the position of the watch back case and improving the processing efficiency.
[0033] In this embodiment, the jig 15 can place two watch back cases at the same time, and the adjusting devices 14 arranged side by side can simultaneously flip and adjust the positions of the two watch back cases.
[0034] There are two limit components 132, and the two limit components 132 are both connected to the mounting frame 131. The two limit components 132 are both arranged along the length direction of the mounting frame 131, and the mounting frame 131 is arranged along the length direction of the support frame 11. By setting two limit components 132, two groups of jigs 15 can be limited at the same time. On the one hand, it can prevent the jig 15 from shaking when adjusting the position of the jig 15. On the other hand, it can also prevent the watch back case from shaking when clamping the watch back case in the next process.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] When the back cover of the watch is flipped and adjusted, first, the first cylinder 1323 drives the limit plate 1324 to move upward. Then, the jig 15 with the watch back cover installed is placed on the conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 moves the jig 15 in the direction of the limit plate 1324. When the jig 15 is in contact with the limit plate 1324, the limit plate 1324 limits the jig 15 to prevent the conveyor belt 12 from continuing to drive the jig 15. After the jig 15 is in contact with the limit plate 1324, the second cylinder 1321 drives the top plate 1322 to rise. After the top plate 1322 contacts the jig 15, it drives the jig 15 to move upward. When the top surface of the jig 15 is in contact with the baffle 111 and the bottom surface of the jig 15 is in contact with the top plate 1322, the top plate 1322 is used to lift the jig 15 off the conveyor belt 12. The top plate 1322 and the baffle 111 limit both sides of the jig 15 at the same time, so that the jig 15 can be fixed between the top plate 1322 and the baffle 111, fixing the jig 15 and preventing the jig 15 from shaking on the conveyor belt 12.
[0037] Furthermore, the third cylinder 141 drives the fourth cylinder 142 to descend. Since the rotary cylinder 143 is connected to the fourth cylinder 142, when the fourth cylinder 142 descends, the rotary cylinder 143 follows the fourth cylinder 142 to descend. When the clamping members 144 are located on both sides of the watch back cover, the clamping members 144 clamp the watch back cover. After the clamping members 144 clamp the watch back cover, the third cylinder 141 drives the fourth cylinder 142 to rise, so that the clamping members 144 are away from the jig 15. At the same time, the fourth cylinder 142 also drives the rotary cylinder 143 to rise, leaving enough space to rotate the watch back cover. After the fourth cylinder 142 rises to a preset distance, the rotary cylinder 143 rotates and drives the clamping members 144 to flip. After the flipping is completed, the third cylinder 141 descends and drives the fourth cylinder 142 to descend. At the same time, the fourth cylinder 142 also descends synchronously and drives the rotary cylinder 143 to descend, so that the clamping members 144 descend to the height when clamping the watch back cover and release the watch back cover.
[0038] Further, after the clamping member 144 releases the watch back case, the third cylinder 141 drives the fourth cylinder 142 away from the fixture 15, and the rotary cylinder 143 follows the fourth cylinder 142 away from the fixture 15. After the flipping is completed, the second cylinder 1321 drives the top plate 1322 to descend, and the fixture 15 follows the top plate 1322 to descend. When the descended fixture 15 is in contact with the conveyor belt 12, the first cylinder 1323 drives the limit plate 1324 to descend, enabling the conveyor belt 12 to drive the fixture 15 to move to the next working station for the next operation. Through the above steps, when the adjusting device 14 adjusts the watch back case, the limiting device 13 takes the fixture 15 away from the conveyor belt 12 and stably limits the fixture 15, thereby preventing the problem that the fixture 15 shakes due to moving on the conveyor belt 12, avoiding the problem that the watch back case shakes and rubs against the adjusting device 14, eliminating the need for manual repair again, and making the appearance of the watch back case more beautiful.
[0039] In the automatic material turning mechanism of this preferred embodiment, when adjusting the watch back case, the first cylinder drives the limit plate to rise to block the downward movement of the fixture, and the second cylinder drives the top plate to rise. The top plate takes the fixture away from the conveyor belt and fits it against the baffle. Both sides of the baffle are limited by the top plate and the baffle to prevent the fixture from shaking on the conveyor belt. When the adjusting mechanism performs clamping adjustment, the problem that the watch back case shakes and scratches against the adjusting device is effectively avoided, making the appearance of the watch back case more beautiful.
[0040] In summary, although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
