Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of the various embodiments / examples may be further combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of the present disclosure.
[0064] The use of cross hatching and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. As such, unless otherwise indicated, the presence or absence of cross hatching or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two successively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the order described. In addition, the same figure numbers represent the same components.
[0065] When a component is referred to as being “on,” “over,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another component, there are no intervening components present.

[0068] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a counter-rotation device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a frame of a counter-turning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the object turning device disclosed in the present invention includes a frame 100 , a first turning assembly 200 , a second turning assembly 300 and other structures.
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the rack 100 is formed into a frame structure. For example, the rack 100 may include a bottom plate 110 and a first side mounting plate 120 and a second side mounting plate 130 disposed at two opposite ends of the bottom plate 110, wherein the first side mounting plate 120 and the second side mounting plate 130 are disposed parallel to each other and spaced apart by a predetermined distance.
[0071] The first flip assembly 200 and the second flip assembly 300 are both rotatably mounted on the frame 100. In a preferred embodiment, the first flip assembly 200 and the second flip assembly 300 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged; moreover, the first flip assembly 200 and the second flip assembly have opposite flip directions and the same flip speed.
[0072] The detailed structures of the first flip assembly 200 and the second flip assembly 300 will be described below.
[0073] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a first flipping assembly of a counter-flipping device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the first flip assembly 200 includes: a first rotating shaft 210 and a first flip plate 220 and other components.
[0075] The first rotating shaft 210 may be formed as one shaft component or as two shaft components. Correspondingly, the two shaft components are rotatably disposed on the first side mounting plate 120 and the second side mounting plate 130 , respectively.
[0076] Specifically, the first side mounting plate 120 and the second side mounting plate 130 of the present disclosure are both provided with mounting holes, and a seat bearing is provided in the mounting hole. Accordingly, the two shaft components are respectively rotatably provided in a seat bearing; moreover, the two shaft components of the present disclosure have the same rotation axis, thereby, the first rotating shaft 210 can be driven to be rotatably provided on the frame 100.
[0077] The first flip plate 220 is fixed to the first rotating shaft 210. Specifically, both ends of the first flip plate 220 along the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 210 are connected to a shaft component of the first rotating shaft 210. Similarly, when the first rotating shaft 210 is formed as a single component, the first flip plate 220 can be fixed to the first rotating shaft 210. Thus, the first rotating shaft 210 can drive the first flip plate 220 to flip through the rotation of the first rotating shaft 210.
[0078] A first groove is formed on the first flip plate 220, and the first groove is formed as an opening in both the first direction and the second direction; a first positioning portion is formed by the first groove, wherein the first direction and the second direction are different directions; preferably, the first direction is a horizontal direction and the second direction is a vertical direction.
[0079] Specifically, the first flip plate 220 of the present disclosure can rotate back and forth between the receiving station and the flipping station. When located at the receiving station, the first flip plate 220 can receive a first workpiece supplied from a pallet. In one embodiment, a handling device, such as a robotic arm, can transport the first workpiece from the pallet to the first flip plate 220. When the first flip plate 220 is located at the flipping station, the first workpiece held by the first flip plate 220 is transported by the robotic arm or other handling device to the punch press for further processing.
[0080] Thus, when the first flip plate 220 is located at the material receiving station, the first workpiece can be placed on the first positioning portion provided on the first flip plate 220 and positioned on the first positioning portion.
[0081] Specifically, the first flip assembly 200 further includes a first positioning device 230 , which positions the first workpiece in a first direction.
[0082] The first positioning device 230 includes a first positioning drive device 231 and a first positioning member 232. The first positioning drive device 231 is fixed to the frame 100 via a support frame. The first positioning drive device 231 can be implemented using a linear drive structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. The first positioning member 232 is disposed on the first positioning drive device 231 so as to be driven by the first positioning drive device 231 to move the first positioning member 232 in a first direction. When at least a portion of the first positioning member 232 extends into the first groove, the first workpiece is positioned.
[0083] In the present disclosure, first buffer blocks 233 are provided at both ends of the first positioning member 232, and through the contact between the first buffer blocks 233 and the first workpiece, the first workpiece is squeezed and positioned between the first positioning member 232 and the first flip plate 220. Accordingly, the setting of the first buffer blocks 233 can prevent the first workpiece from being damaged.
[0084] In some embodiments, the first flip assembly 200 further includes a first limiting device 240 , which is used to fix the positioned first workpiece.
[0085] Specifically, the first limiting device 240 includes: a first limiting drive device 241 and a first limiting block 242; the first limiting drive device 241 is installed on the first flip plate 220, wherein the first limiting drive device 241 can be a linear drive structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder; the first limiting block 242 is installed on the first limiting drive device 241. When the first limiting drive device 241 is actuated, the first limiting block 242 is driven by the first limiting drive device 241 to apply positive pressure to the first workpiece and fix the first workpiece. In the present disclosure, the movement direction of the first limiting block 242 is the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 210; so that the first limiting block 242 can approach or move away from the first workpiece along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 210, thereby achieving the limitation (fixation) of the workpiece.
[0086] More preferably, a long guide groove is provided on the first flip plate 220, and at least part of the first limit block 242 passes through the guide groove and is located inside the first groove; that is, the first limit drive device 241 of the present disclosure is located outside the first groove.
[0087] That is, after the first workpiece is positioned by the first positioning device 230 , the position of the first workpiece can be fixed by the first limiting device 240 , thereby preventing the first workpiece from changing its position during the flipping process.
[0088] In the present disclosure, the first flip assembly 200 includes: a first limiting column 250, which is provided on the frame 100 and is used to limit the first flip assembly 200 to the material receiving station.
[0089] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of a second flipping assembly of a counter-flipping device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, the second flip assembly 300 is rotatably disposed on the frame 100 , and the second flip assembly 300 has a second positioning portion, in which the second workpiece to be flipped is disposed.
[0091] The second flip assembly 300 includes a second rotating shaft 310 and a second flip plate 320 .
[0092] The second rotating shaft 310 may be formed as one shaft component or as two shaft components. Accordingly, the two shaft components are rotatably disposed on the first side mounting plate 120 and the second side mounting plate 130 , respectively.
[0093] Specifically, the first side mounting plate 120 and the second side mounting plate 130 of the present disclosure are both provided with mounting holes, and a seat bearing is provided in the mounting hole. Accordingly, the two shaft components are respectively rotatably provided in a seat bearing; moreover, the two shaft components of the present disclosure have the same rotation axis, thereby, the second rotating shaft 310 can be driven to be rotatably provided on the frame 100.
[0094] The second flip plate 320 is fixed to the second rotation shaft 310. Specifically, both ends of the second flip plate 320 along the rotation axis of the second rotation shaft 310 are connected to a shaft component of the second rotation shaft 310. Similarly, when the second rotation shaft 310 is formed as a single component, the second flip plate 320 can be fixed to the second rotation shaft 310. Thus, the rotation of the second rotation shaft 310 can drive the second flip plate 320 to flip.
[0095] A second groove is formed on the second flip plate 320, and the second groove is formed as an opening in both the first direction and the second direction; a second positioning portion is formed by the second groove, wherein the first direction and the second direction are different directions; preferably, the first direction is a horizontal direction and the second direction is a vertical direction.
[0096] Specifically, the second flip plate 320 of the present disclosure can rotate back and forth between the receiving station and the flipping station. When located at the receiving station, the second flip plate 320 can receive a second workpiece supplied from a pallet. In one embodiment, a handling device, such as a robotic arm, can transport the second workpiece from the pallet to the second flip plate 320. When the second flip plate 320 is located at the flipping station, the second workpiece held by the second flip plate 320 is transported by the robotic arm or other handling device to the punch press for further processing.
[0097] Thus, when the second flip plate 320 is located at the material receiving station, the second workpiece can be placed on the second positioning portion provided on the second flip plate 320 and positioned on the second positioning portion.
[0098] Specifically, the second flip assembly 300 further includes a second positioning device 330 , which positions the second workpiece in the first direction.
[0099] The second positioning device 330 includes a second positioning drive device 331 and a second positioning member 332. The second positioning drive device 331 is fixed to the frame 100 via a support frame. The second positioning drive device 331 can be implemented using a linear drive structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder. The second positioning member 332 is disposed on the second positioning drive device 331. The second positioning member 332 is driven by the second positioning drive device 331 to move along the first direction. When at least a portion of the second positioning member 332 extends into the second groove, the second workpiece is positioned.
[0100] In the present disclosure, second buffer blocks 333 are provided at both ends of the second positioning member 332, and through the contact between the second buffer blocks 333 and the second workpiece, the second workpiece is squeezed and positioned between the second positioning member 332 and the second flip plate 320. Accordingly, the setting of the second buffer blocks 333 can prevent the second workpiece from being damaged.
[0101] In some embodiments, the second flip assembly 300 further includes a second limiting device 340 , which is used to fix the positioned second workpiece.
[0102] Specifically, the second limiting device 340 includes: a second limiting drive device 341 and a second limiting block 342; the second limiting drive device 341 is installed on the second flip plate 320, wherein the second limiting drive device 341 can be a linear drive structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder; the second limiting block 342 is installed on the second limiting drive device 341. When the second limiting drive device 341 is actuated, the second limiting block 342 is driven by the second limiting drive device 341 to apply positive pressure to the second workpiece and fix the second workpiece. In the present disclosure, the movement direction of the second limiting block 342 is the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 310; so that the second limiting block 342 can approach or move away from the second workpiece along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 310, thereby achieving the limitation (fixation) of the workpiece.
[0103] More preferably, a long guide groove is provided on the second flip plate 320, and at least part of the second limit block 342 passes through the guide groove and is located inside the second groove; that is, the second limit drive device 341 of the present disclosure is located outside the second groove.
[0104] That is, after the second workpiece is positioned by the second positioning device 330 , the second workpiece can be fixed in position by the second limiting device 340 , thereby preventing the second workpiece from changing in position during the flipping process.
[0105] In the present disclosure, the second flip assembly 300 includes: a second limiting column 350, which is provided on the frame 100 and is used to limit the second flip assembly 300 to the material receiving station.
[0106] In the present disclosure, the first workpiece and the second workpiece both include openings; the first flipping assembly 200 and the second flipping assembly 300 both have a material receiving station and a flipping station; when the first flipping assembly 200 and the second flipping assembly 300 are located at the material receiving station, the first workpiece and the second workpiece have the same opening direction; when the first flipping assembly 200 and the second flipping assembly 300 are located at the flipping station, the opening directions of the first workpiece and the second workpiece are opposite, thereby realizing the transformation of the position and / or posture of the first workpiece and the second workpiece.
