Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automated carbon ribbon assembly, in particular to a carbon ribbon conveying and turning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Carbon ribbon is an important printing consumable, suitable for various label printing scenarios requiring durability and flexibility. The carbon ribbon assembly industry has long relied on manual assembly and handling, but manual assembly of carbon ribbons is characterized by inconsistent quality, high costs, and high labor intensity.

[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop an automated carbon ribbon handling and flipping mechanism with stable structure and high production efficiency, which can not only reduce the workload of employees, but also improve production efficiency while ensuring the high quality of products. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model proposes an automated carbon ribbon transporting and turning mechanism with stable structure and high production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a carbon ribbon transporting and flipping mechanism is proposed, which includes a gantry and a conveyor belt. The gantry is provided with a guide rail and a pushing cylinder. The guide rail is cooperated with a lifting device through a sliding block. The side of the lifting device is installed in cooperation with the output end of the pushing cylinder. The lifting device is also installed in cooperation with a clamping device. A flipping device is provided on the conveyor belt. When transporting the carbon ribbon, the pushing cylinder pushes the lifting device to the top of the flipping device. At the same time, the flipping device clamps and flips the product on the conveyor belt. The lifting device lowers the clamping device to the product position and clamps the product by the claws on the clamping device. Then the product is transported to the designated jig by the pushing cylinder for clamping and installation.

[0006] Based on the above, when loading, the push cylinder pushes the lifting device to the top of the flipping device. At the same time, the flipping device clamps and flips the product on the conveyor belt. The lifting device lowers the clamping device to the product position and clamps the product with the claws on the clamping device. The flipping device then releases the product. The push cylinder then moves the product to the designated fixture for clamping and installation. Finally, the device resets to its initial state to move the next product. The entire handling process is automated, reducing the workload of staff. At the same time, using machines for handling is more stable and efficient, improving production efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a cylinder mounting plate and a lifting cylinder 1, the lifting cylinder 1 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder mounting plate, a lifting push plate is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder 1, a slide groove is provided on the lifting push plate, and the slide groove slides with the guide block of the lifting cylinder.

[0008] Based on the above, the lifting cylinder can move horizontally on the guide rail through the slider, and the guide block cooperates with the slide groove to make the lifting push plate more stable during operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the flipping device includes a lifting cylinder 2, and a flipping assembly is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder 2. A rotating cylinder and a driven shaft are respectively provided on both sides of the flipping assembly. A mounting plate is provided between the rotating cylinder and the driven shaft, and the two ends of the mounting plate are respectively rotatably connected to the output shaft of the rotating cylinder. A bidirectional cylinder is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, and splints are installed on the output shafts on both sides of the bidirectional cylinder.

[0010] Based on the above, the lifting cylinder 2 can adjust the height of the flip assembly, the clamping plate is used to clamp the product, and the rotating cylinder flips the clamped product 90° to adjust the product to a suitable angle.

[0011] Furthermore, an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the lifting push plate, and the clamping device is fixedly installed on the lower end of the L-shaped plate. The clamping device includes a rotary cylinder and a clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder is cooperatively installed on the output shaft of the rotary cylinder.

[0012] Based on the above, the L-shaped plate is used to fix the clamping device to the lifting device, and the rotary cylinder drives the clamping cylinder to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, a driving block is provided on the side of the cylinder mounting plate, and a T-slot is provided on the driving block. The T-slot is engaged with the output end of the pushing cylinder, and the pushing cylinder is extended and retracted so that the driving block drives the lifting device to slide on the guide rail.

[0014] Based on the above, the output end of the push cylinder is installed in cooperation with the T-slot of the driving block, which not only ensures that the push cylinder can be transported stably, but also facilitates subsequent disassembly and assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the output end of the clamping cylinder is provided with a clamping groove, a clamping slider is slidably fitted in the clamping groove, the clamping jaw is fixedly mounted on the clamping slider, and the clamping jaw cylinder drives the clamping slider to enable the clamping jaw to clamp the product.

[0016] Based on the above, the clamping claw cylinder drives the clamping slider to move on the clamping chute, thereby controlling the clamping claw to grasp and release the product.

[0017] Furthermore, the L-shaped plate is also provided with an L-shaped fixing block for strengthening the L-shaped plate.

[0018] Based on the above, the L-shaped plate reinforced by the L-shaped fixing block can bear a greater weight while ensuring the stability of the gripper cylinder during the handling process.

[0019] Furthermore, a transfer area is provided on the conveyor belt, and the transfer area is directly below the flip assembly. A baffle is provided on the transfer area.

[0020] Based on the above, the baffle limits the products on the conveyor belt to the transfer area.
