Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a turnover conveying device for a small circuit breaker, belonging to the field of structural design of small circuit breaker production equipment. Background Art

[0002] When assembling a small circuit breaker on an automatic assembly device, it is necessary to lay the small circuit breaker horizontally and then assemble pins and other components. After assembly, the small circuit breaker is flipped 90 degrees to make it stand vertically for subsequent assembly or packaging. Patent document CN207658644U discloses an automatic flipping device for a circuit breaker assembly line, which includes a conveyor belt, a positioning mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a steering mechanism, a flipping mechanism and a pushing mechanism. When installed and used, the circuit breaker is flipped by the flipping mechanism and pushed onto the conveyor belt by the pushing mechanism, and then continues to be transported forward by the conveyor belt. The problem with the automatic flipping device for a circuit breaker assembly line in the above patent document in actual use is that no reasonable supporting structure is set to assist in limiting the circuit breaker. Thinner circuit breakers (such as 1P small circuit breakers) are prone to tipping over when pushed by the pushing mechanism and moved onto the conveyor belt, thereby having an adverse effect on subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response to the deficiencies pointed out in the background technology, the present invention aims to provide a small circuit breaker flipping and conveying device with a rationally optimized structure, on which a supporting plate is provided to effectively assist in limiting the vertically standing small circuit breaker during the process of being pushed from the flipping mechanism to the conveyor belt to prevent it from tipping over.

[0004] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of this utility model is:

[0005] A small circuit breaker flipping conveyor device comprises a conveyor belt, a baffle plate, a first pushing mechanism, a flipping mechanism and a second pushing mechanism, wherein the conveyor belt is used to convey the small circuit breaker forward; the baffle plate is fixed above the conveyor belt to prevent the small circuit breaker on the conveyor belt from moving forward; the first pushing mechanism is used to push the small circuit breaker on the rear side of the baffle plate on the conveyor belt to the flipping mechanism; the flipping mechanism is arranged at the baffle plate on one side of the conveyor belt to drive the small circuit breaker to flip 90 degrees; the second pushing mechanism is used to push the flipping mechanism The small circuit breaker after being flipped 90 degrees on the turning mechanism is pushed to the front side of the baffle plate on the conveyor belt; it also includes a supporting plate arranged in front of the baffle plate and parallel to the baffle plate, and the supporting plate is driven by a first linear driving component to move above the conveyor belt and move away from above the conveyor belt. The moving direction of the supporting plate is the width direction of the conveyor belt. When the supporting plate moves above the conveyor belt, a limiting gap is formed between the supporting plate and the baffle plate to limit the small circuit breaker. The second pushing mechanism pushes the small circuit breaker from the flip support plate to the limiting gap.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the flip mechanism includes a flip tray for receiving the small circuit breaker and a flip drive mechanism for driving the flip tray to flip. When the flip drive mechanism drives the flip tray to flip 90 degrees, it drives the small circuit breaker on it to flip 90 degrees. A magnet for adsorbing the small circuit breaker is embedded in the flip tray.

[0007] In the above technical solution, there are four flip pallets, and the four flip pallets are evenly distributed along the circumference and fixed on the driving shaft opposite to the side of the material baffle plate. The flip driving mechanism drives the driving shaft to make 90-degree intermittent rotation.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the first linear drive component is a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism include a pushing plate for pushing the small circuit breaker to move and a second linear driving component for driving the pushing plate to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the second linear drive component is a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0011] The utility model has positive effects: the structure of the small circuit breaker flipping and conveying mechanism in the utility model is optimized, and a material blocking plate for blocking the small circuit breaker is arranged above the conveyor belt, and the cooperation of the first pushing mechanism, the flipping mechanism and the second pushing mechanism allows the small circuit breaker to bypass the material blocking plate and flow, and in this process, the small circuit breaker is flipped 90 degrees from being horizontally laid down to standing vertically, and on this basis, the setting of the supporting plate can play an effective auxiliary limiting role for the vertically standing small circuit breaker in the process of being pushed by the flipping mechanism to the conveyor belt to prevent it from tipping over, and has strong practicality and popularization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0019] The structure of the miniature circuit breaker turning and conveying device in this embodiment is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a conveyor belt 1, a baffle plate 3, a first pushing mechanism 4, a flipping mechanism 5 and a second pushing mechanism 6. The conveyor belt 1 is used to convey the small circuit breaker 2 to move forward; the baffle plate 3 is fixed above the conveyor belt 1 to prevent the small circuit breaker 2 on the conveyor belt 1 from moving forward; the first pushing mechanism 4 is used to push the small circuit breaker 2 on the rear side of the baffle plate 3 on the conveyor belt 1 to the flipping mechanism 5; the flipping mechanism 5 is arranged on the baffle plate 3 on one side of the conveyor belt 1 to drive the small circuit breaker 2 to flip 90 degrees; the second pushing mechanism 6 is used to push the small circuit breaker 2 flipped 90 degrees on the flipping mechanism 5 to the conveyor belt The front side of the baffle plate 3 on the conveyor belt 1; it also includes a supporting plate 91 arranged on the front side of the baffle plate 3 and parallel to the baffle plate 3, the supporting plate 91 is driven by the first linear drive component 92 to move to the top of the conveyor belt 1 and move away from the top of the conveyor belt 1, the moving direction of the supporting plate 91 is the width direction of the conveyor belt 1, and when the supporting plate 91 moves to the top of the conveyor belt 1, a limiting gap is formed between the supporting plate 91 and the baffle plate 3 to limit the small circuit breaker 2, and the second pushing mechanism 6 pushes the small circuit breaker 2 from the flip support plate 51 into the limiting gap; in this embodiment, the first linear drive component 92 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0020] With the above structure of the present embodiment, when the small circuit breaker flipping conveyor device is installed and used, the small circuit breaker placed horizontally on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1 is blocked by the baffle plate 3 during the forward conveying process driven by the conveyor belt 1, and the small circuit breaker against the rear of the baffle plate 3 is pushed to the flip mechanism 5 on the side of the conveyor belt 1 by the first pushing mechanism 4. The small circuit breaker is flipped 90 degrees (from lying horizontally to standing vertically) by the flip mechanism 5, and then the flip support plate 51 is placed on the vertical position by the second pushing mechanism 6. The standing miniature circuit breaker is pushed into the limiting gap formed between the material blocking plate 3 and the material supporting plate 91 on the conveyor belt 1. The limiting effect of the material supporting plate 91 can prevent the miniature circuit breaker from tipping over when being pushed in the vertical standing state. When the miniature circuit breaker 2 enters the limiting gap under the push of the second pushing mechanism 6, the material supporting plate 91 is driven by the first linear driving component 92 to move away from above the conveyor belt 1 and no longer blocks the miniature circuit breaker 2. At this time, the miniature circuit breaker can be conveyed forward under the drive of the conveyor belt 1. The structural design of the overturning conveying device in this embodiment is optimized and reasonable, and has strong practicality and popularization.

[0021] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 5 includes a flipping tray 51 for receiving the small circuit breaker 2 and a flipping drive mechanism 52 for driving the flipping tray 51 to flip. When the flipping drive mechanism 52 drives the flipping tray 51 to flip 90 degrees, the small circuit breaker 2 on it is flipped 90 degrees. A magnet 53 for adsorbing the small circuit breaker 2 is embedded in the flipping tray 51. The small circuit breaker 2 is pushed from the conveyor belt 1 to the flipping tray by the first pushing mechanism 4. The flipping drive mechanism 52 drives the flipping tray 51 to rotate 90 degrees to realize the flipping of the small circuit breaker. In addition, since the magnet 53 is provided on the flipping tray 51, the magnet 53 can generate suction to the internal metal accessories of the small circuit breaker 2, thereby positioning the small circuit breaker, preventing the small circuit breaker 2 from shifting or falling over during the flipping process of the flipping tray 51, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the flipping conveying.

[0022] For further information, see Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four flip pallets 51, which are evenly distributed along the circumference and fixed to a drive shaft opposite the side of the material retaining plate 3. That is, the angle between two adjacent flip pallets 51 is 90 degrees. The flip drive mechanism 52 drives the drive shaft to intermittently rotate 90 degrees. The flip drive mechanism 52 drives the drive shaft to intermittently rotate 90 degrees. During the rotation of the drive shaft, each 90-degree rotation can cause a small circuit breaker to flip 90 degrees via the corresponding flip pallet 51. The small circuit breaker can be flipped from the rear side of the material retaining plate 3 to the front side of the material retaining plate 3 after flipping, so that the second pushing mechanism 6 can push the flipped small circuit breaker 2. The flip drive mechanism 52 can adopt a stepper motor currently available on the market.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first pushing mechanism 4 and the second pushing mechanism 6 include a push plate 7 for pushing the small circuit breaker 2 to move and a second linear driving component 8 that drives the push plate 7 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt 1; more specifically, the second linear driving component 8 is a cylinder or an electric push rod, which drives the push plate 7 to move when the cylinder or the electric push rod is actuated, and then pushes the small circuit breaker to move along a preset direction through the push plate 7.

[0024] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. However, obvious variations or modifications arising from the essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
