[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 The circulating feeding device for the up and down flip tooling production line shown includes: a box body 1; a material conveying assembly is arranged above the box body 1, including a support beam 2 running through the inside of the box body 1, and two pulleys 3 arranged at both ends of the support beam 2, a conveyor belt 4 wrapped around the two pulleys 3, and a driving motor for driving the conveyor belt 4 to circulate; a carrier assembly 5 is arranged on the conveyor belt 4 at equal intervals, which includes a sliding plate 51 and at least one feeding clamp 52 arranged on the sliding plate 51; wherein, the conveyor belt 4 includes a feeding area facing the workbench and a receiving area arranged back to back with the feeding area, and a first guide rail 6 for the sliding plate 51 to slide is provided in the feeding area and the receiving area along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 4; a flipping assembly 7 is provided at one end of the support beam 2, and the flipping assembly 7 includes a flipping arm and a first station and a second station arranged at both ends of the flipping arm, and a second guide rail 8 is provided on the first station and the second station to be matched with the first guide rail 6.

[0034] The specific implementation process of the present invention is that the carrier assembly 5 moves along the production line direction on the first guide rail 6 under the action of the conveyor belt 4. When the carrier assembly 5 moves to the second guide rail 8 that is connected to the first guide rail 6, the flip assembly 7 drives the carrier assembly 5 to flip, and flips the carrier assembly 5 that has completed feeding to the back of the conveyor belt 4, the side opposite to the movement direction of the production line, thereby realizing the cyclic transmission of the carrier assembly 5 on the production line. Through the setting of the guide rail and the conveyor belt 4, the automatic transmission of the carrier assembly 5 can be realized. In addition, due to the setting of the flip assembly 7, the up and down flipping of the carrier assembly 4 can be automatically realized, and the cyclic transmission of the carrier assembly 4 can be realized, which greatly improves the degree of automation of the production line, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency and production safety. The design of the conveyor belt 4 and the pulley 3 enables the carrier assembly 5 to circulate efficiently in a limited space. At the same time, the crossbeam 14 added to the upper part of the support beam 2 further optimizes the spatial layout and improves the compactness and space utilization of the overall equipment.

[0035] In the present invention, both the first guide rail 6 and the second guide rail 8 have extrusion surfaces capable of engaging the carrier assembly 5. The extrusion surfaces include a first extrusion surface and a second extrusion surface facing each other, each formed as a stepped surface formed by sequentially connecting a first step surface 9, a connecting surface 10, and a second step surface 11. The first step surface 9 and the connecting surface 10, as well as the connecting surface 10 and the second step surface 11, are connected by arc surfaces. The first step surface 9 and the wall surfaces of the first guide rail 6 and the second guide rail 8 are connected by arc surfaces. The combination of the first and second extrusion surfaces, through the stepped and arc surfaces, can more effectively engage the carrier assembly 5. The presence of the stepped surfaces increases the contact area, improves the stability of the engagement, and prevents the carrier assembly 5 from shaking or falling off when moving or under stress. The combined structure of the stepped and arc surfaces not only enhances the local strength of the guide rails, but also makes the entire guide rail structure more stable, capable of resisting greater external impacts and protecting the safety of the carrier assembly and the box.

[0036] In the present invention, support plates 12 are further provided on both sides of the box body 1, and the two support plates 12 are connected by a support beam 2 running through the interior of the box body 1. A reinforcing rib 13 is further provided between the support beam 2 and the support plate 12, and the pulley 3 and the reinforcing rib 13 are arranged at intervals. Through the mutual cooperation of the support beam 2, the support plate 12 and the reinforcing rib 13, an efficient and stable load-bearing system is formed, which can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity of the box body 1; the support beam 2, as the main load-bearing structure, runs through the interior of the box body 1, effectively connecting the support plates 12 on both sides, forming a stable support frame, and enhancing the box body 1. The overall structural stability of the box body is enhanced, so that it can withstand greater external forces and loads; the pulley 3 and the reinforcing rib 13 are spaced apart to avoid direct action on the box wall or the bracket plate 12, and reduce the impact of vibration and impact caused by belt transmission on the box structure; the reinforcing rib 13 can effectively disperse and transfer loads, reduce the occurrence of stress concentration. During the operation of the tooling circulation line, the carrier assembly 5 and the products thereon will generate a certain amount of pressure on the supporting structure. The reinforcing rib 13 can disperse this part of the pressure to a larger area, thereby reducing the peak value of local stress and improving the overall stability of the structure.

[0037] In the present invention, a crossbeam 14 is provided above the support beam 2 and between the two conveyor belts 4. Crossbeam 14 is spaced apart from the pulleys 3. As an additional support structure, crossbeam 14 significantly enhances the stability of the support beam 2 and the entire conveyor system above it. It helps disperse the load generated by the movement of the carrier assembly 5 and the products thereon, reducing bending and vibration of the support beam 2, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the conveyor belts 4. Furthermore, crossbeam 14, located between the two conveyor belts 4, serves as a reference or auxiliary support point for the conveyor belt's trajectory. This helps maintain the linearity and stability of the conveyor belt 4 during operation, reduces transmission errors caused by offset or fluctuations, and improves product positioning accuracy and processing quality.

[0038] In the present invention, the sliding plate 51 is connected to the conveyor belt 4 through the card slot mechanism 15 provided on its back. The card slot mechanism 15 includes two spaced grooves 151 and three spaced card joints 152; the grooves 151 and the card joints 152 are connected by an arc surface, and the card joints 152 are connected to the conveyor belt 4. The design of the card slot mechanism 15, especially the two spaced grooves 151 and the three spaced card joints 152, provides a precise reference for the positioning of the carrier assembly 5 on the conveyor belt 4, ensures the stability and accuracy of the carrier assembly 5 during the transmission process, and reduces the transmission error caused by position offset; the card joints 152 fit tightly with the conveyor belt 4, forming a stable connection interface, which can not only effectively resist vibration and impact during the transmission process, but also prevent the carrier assembly 5 from falling off or loosening under high speed or heavy load conditions, thereby ensuring the continuity and safety of the transmission.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments and the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
