[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tray transfer device in one embodiment of the utility model includes a first conveying mechanism 1 for conveying workpieces, a second conveying mechanism 2, a lifting and rotating mechanism 3 and a frame 4 that cooperate with the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , wherein the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are staggered in height, and both the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are mounted on the frame 4. In this embodiment, the height of the first conveying mechanism 1 is higher than that of the second conveying mechanism 2, and the conveying directions of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are the same. The first conveying mechanism 1 is used to connect to the output end of one device, and the second conveying mechanism 2 is used to connect to the input end of another device.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 1 is two chain conveyor belts with a first preset distance, and the second conveying mechanism 2 is two belt conveyor belts with a second preset distance (the belts are not shown in the figure), and the first preset distance is greater than the second preset distance. The first preset distance and the second preset distance refer to the distances for receiving the workpieces that match the size of the workpieces. For example, in this embodiment, the Tray is a rectangle, the first preset distance is adapted to the long side of the Tray, and the second preset distance is adapted to the short side of the Tray.

[0030] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 1 can also be a belt conveyor belt, and the second conveying mechanism 2 can be a chain conveyor belt.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting and rotating mechanism 3 includes a tray 31 for carrying the workpiece, a rotating component 32 for driving the tray 31 to rotate, and a lifting component 33 for driving the tray 31 to lift and lower. The lifting and rotating mechanism 3 is used to transfer the workpiece from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4, the rotating assembly 32 includes a mounting plate 321, a rotating shaft 322, and a rotation driving member 323. The rotation driving member 323 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 321. One end of the rotating shaft 322 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 321, and the other end is fixedly connected to the tray 31. The rotation driving member 323 drives the rotating shaft 322 to rotate by a preset angle value. Among them, the tray 31 drives the workpiece to rotate by a preset angle value, facilitating the tray to pass up and down at a first preset distance of the first conveying mechanism 1. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the preset angle value can be 90 degrees, and the above rotation driving member 323 can be a servo motor.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 32 further includes a driving wheel 324 fixedly connected to the rotation driving member 323, a driven wheel 325 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 322, and a transmission belt 326 drivingly connecting the driving wheel 324 and the driven wheel 325. By providing the driving wheel 324, the driven wheel 325, and the transmission belt 326, the rotation driving member 323 can be arranged at a side position to facilitate the lifting assembly 33 to drive the mounting plate 321 to move.

[0034] During operation, the rotation driving member 323 drives the driving wheel 324 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 325 to rotate through the transmission belt 326, and further driving the rotating shaft 322 to rotate through the driven wheel 325, thereby driving the tray 31 to rotate by a preset angle value.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting assembly 33 includes a lifting driving member 331. The lifting driving member 331 drives the tray 31 to move to a first position for cooperation with the first conveying mechanism 1 and a second position for cooperation with the second conveying mechanism 2. Specifically, when the lifting driving member 331 drives the tray 31 to the first position, the workpiece on the first conveying mechanism 1 can be separated from it at this time. Then, the rotating assembly 32 drives the workpiece to rotate by a preset angle value, so that the workpiece is set to avoid the first conveying mechanism 1. Then, the lifting driving member 331 drives the tray 31 to the second position, and at this time, the workpiece is placed on the second conveying mechanism 2, thereby completing the transfer of the workpiece.

[0036] Further, refer to Figure 4 , the lifting assembly 33 further includes a fixing plate 332, a movable plate 333, and a connecting rod 334. The fixing plate 332 is fixedly connected to the machine frame 4 and is located on the side of the mounting plate 321 away from the tray 31. The movable plate 333 is located on the side of the fixing plate 332 away from the mounting plate 321. One end of the connecting rod 334 is connected to the movable plate 333, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 321; the lifting driving member 331 is provided with a body and a driving shaft that can slide and expand and contract in the body. The body is fixedly connected to the movable plate 333, and the driving shaft is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 332. In this embodiment, the lifting driving member 331 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod, etc.

[0037] During operation, the fixed plate 332 remains stationary, and the drive shaft of the lifting drive member 331 contracts into the body. At this time, the body is driven upward, thereby driving the movable plate 333 upward through the body, and further driving the mounting plate 321 upward through the connecting rod 334. Conversely, when the drive shaft of the lifting drive member 331 moves away from the body, the mounting plate 321 can be driven downward. Therefore, in this embodiment, the tray 31 can be driven by the lifting drive member 331 to move to the first position and the second position to transfer the workpiece located on the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0038] Refer to Figure 4 In order to provide the stability of the lifting drive member 331 driving the tray 31 to move, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 33 further includes a guide sleeve 335. The fixed plate 332 is provided with a through hole, the guide sleeve 335 is fixedly arranged in the through hole in a penetrating manner, and the connecting rod 334 is slidably arranged in the guide sleeve 335.

[0039] Refer to Figure 3 The tray 31 includes a receiving portion 311 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 322 and an abutting portion 312 installed on the side of the receiving portion 311. The abutting portion 312 is used to limit the workpiece to be located on the receiving portion 311. When the Tray tray is placed on the receiving portion 311, the abutting portion 312 can abut against the possible shaking during its rotation or lifting movement, thereby reducing the situation of the workpiece detaching from the tray 31.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, it further includes a protective cover 5 movably installed on the outer periphery of the frame 4, and an observation window is provided on the protective cover 5. In an alternative embodiment, an emergency stop button is further arranged on the protective cover 5 for emergently stopping when an unexpected situation occurs to the equipment.

[0041] The implementation principle of the Tray tray transfer device in this embodiment is as follows: After the first conveying mechanism 1 conveys the Tray tray to directly above the lifting and rotating mechanism 3, the first conveying mechanism 1 stops running at this time. Then the lifting and rotating mechanism 3 runs. The lifting assembly 33 first moves to the first position where the Tray tray is lifted and separated from the first conveying mechanism 1, then the rotating assembly 32 drives the Tray tray to rotate a preset angle, and finally the lifting assembly 33 moves to the second position where the Tray tray is placed on the second conveying mechanism 2. At this time, the second conveying mechanism 2 starts to run and conveys the Tray tray to the next equipment.

[0042] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.
