DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are 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.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art in the field of this utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the automatic turning device of the present invention includes a feeding mechanism, a turning mechanism and a collecting mechanism arranged in sequence, the feeding mechanism includes a first frame, on which a storage hopper 6 and a discharge box 1 are arranged; a feeding port is provided on the storage hopper 6, and a feeding port corresponding to the position of the feeding port is provided on the top of the discharge box 1; a spiral feeding track is provided inside the discharge box 1, and a discharge track 7 docking with the spiral feeding track is provided at the lower part of the discharge box 1, and a workpiece temporary placement seat 8 is provided at the end of the discharge track 7. The automatic turning device of the present invention cooperates with a turning mechanism, a collecting mechanism, a first frame, a storage hopper 6, a discharge box 1, a feeding port, a feed port, a spiral feeding track, a discharge track 7 and a temporary workpiece placement seat 8. When in use, the workpiece is stored in the storage hopper 6 in advance. After the entire device is started, the workpiece enters the discharge box 1 from the feeding port and enters the spiral feeding track, and is then output from the discharge track 7 in sequence and enters the temporary workpiece placement seat 8. The workpiece is then clamped and transported to the turning mechanism for processing. The processed workpiece is collected and stored by the collecting mechanism. There is no manual intervention throughout the process, and the workpiece feeding, turning and collection are performed fully automatically, which greatly saves time and improves efficiency.

[0027] Preferably, a first support base is provided on the first frame, a second support base is provided at the collection mechanism, a crossbeam is provided between the first and second support bases, and a sliding clamping mechanism is provided on the crossbeam. Furthermore, preferably, the sliding clamping mechanism includes a slide rail 15 provided on the crossbeam and a drive mechanism. A slider 12 slidably engages the slide rail 15. The slider 12 is connected to the drive mechanism on one side and to a movable frame 10 on the other side. Two workpiece clamping mechanisms 9 are mounted on the movable frame 10. With this design, the sliding clamping mechanism can clamp workpieces from the temporary workpiece placement seat 8 and place them in the turning mechanism for processing. Simultaneously, it can clamp workpieces processed by the turning mechanism and place them in the collection mechanism. During the process, the slider 12 slides along the slide rail 15 driven by the drive mechanism, and the workpiece clamping mechanism 9 performs a clamping action and an up-and-down sliding action driven by corresponding cylinders. During clamping, the clamping head of the workpiece clamping mechanism 9 descends to clamp the workpiece, then slides upward to release the workpiece from the temporary workpiece placement seat 8, and then moves it to the turning mechanism.

[0028] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor 14, which is matched with a screw mechanism 11, and the slider 12 is matched with the screw mechanism 11. When the motor 14 rotates, the screw mechanism 11 is activated, allowing the slider 12 to slide along the slide rail 15.

[0029] Preferably, the slider 12 is also equipped with a cable drag chain 13. With this design, the wiring harness of the air circuit, the wiring harness of the motor, etc. can be concentrated together, avoiding the confusion of the lines and reducing the occurrence of faults.

[0030] Preferably, the turning mechanism includes a second frame 2, on which a workpiece clamping seat, a transverse turning mechanism, and a vertical turning mechanism are provided. The transverse turning mechanism includes a transverse feed assembly 16 and a transverse turning head 17 cooperating with the transverse feed assembly 16, and the vertical turning mechanism includes a vertical feed assembly 18 and a vertical turning head 19 cooperating with the vertical feed assembly 18. The position of the workpiece clamping seat corresponds to the positions of the transverse turning head 17 and the vertical turning head 19. When the workpiece is clamped by the workpiece clamping mechanism 9 and placed on the workpiece clamping seat, the transverse feed assembly 16 drives the transverse turning head 17 to feed transversely, and the transverse turning head 17 turns the workpiece transversely; then the vertical feed assembly 18 drives the vertical turning head 19 to feed vertically, and the vertical turning head 19 turns the workpiece vertically. Alternatively, the vertical feed assembly 18 can drive the vertical turning head 19 to feed vertically while the vertical turning head 19 vertically turns the workpiece; then the transverse feed assembly 16 drives the transverse turning head 17 to feed transversely while the transverse turning head 17 transversely turns the workpiece. However, the vertical turning head 19 and the transverse turning head 17 generally do not operate simultaneously to avoid interference between the two.

[0031] Preferably, the collection mechanism includes a third frame 3, on which a collection hopper 4 is mounted. A workpiece guide plate 5 is disposed above the collection hopper 4. The workpiece guide plate 5 can be mounted on the second support or on the collection hopper 4. The workpiece gripping mechanism 9 grips the turned workpiece and releases it upon reaching the workpiece guide plate 5, allowing the workpiece to slide along the workpiece guide plate 5 into the collection hopper 4, thereby minimizing damage to the workpiece.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
