DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a 360-degree turning machine includes a frame 1, both sides of the interior of the frame 1 are fixedly connected to the first drive motor 2, the output end of the first drive motor 2 is transmission-connected to the transmission shaft 3, and both ends of the transmission shaft 3 are fixedly sleeved with a sprocket 4; the interior of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a cage frame 6, the four corners of the bottom of the interior of the frame 1 are rotatably connected to guide wheels 5, the guide wheels 5 are transmission-connected to the sprocket 4, and the outer periphery of the cage frame 6 is clamped in the wheel groove of the guide wheel 5; the four corners of the top of the interior of the frame 1 are rotatably connected to adjusting wheels 7, and the outer periphery of the cage frame 6 is clamped in the wheel groove of the adjusting wheel 7; both sides of the bottom of the cage frame 6 are fixedly connected to the lower transmission assembly 8, the outer side of the lower transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the guide group 9, and the top of the interior of the cage frame 6 is fixedly connected to the pressure frame assembly 10. By cooperating with the lower transmission assembly 8 and the pressure frame assembly 10, the bathtub to be flipped can be fixed to prevent it from shifting or falling during the flipping process; when the first drive motor 2 is running, its output end will drive the transmission shaft 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission shaft 3 will drive the guide wheel 5 to rotate synchronously. As the guide wheel 5 continues to rotate, the cage frame 6 will flip 360 degrees along a preset trajectory. This flipping process is achieved through the coordinated action of the guide wheel 5 and the adjustment wheel 7, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the flipping, and reducing the risk of damage to the bathtub or safety accidents caused by unstable flipping.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, lower transmission assembly 8 includes a fixed frame 801, internally connected to multiple first transmission rollers 802. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of cage frame 6. The output end of the servo motor is in transmission connection with first transmission rollers 802. Multiple first transmission rollers 802 are connected to the servo motor via a chain, gears, or other transmission method. When the servo motor is activated, its output end drives the multiple first transmission rollers 802 to rotate, thereby driving the bathtub.

[0034] A plurality of first cylinders 803 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed frame 801, and a guide frame 804 is embedded in the interior of the fixed frame 801. The piston rod of the first cylinder 803 extends into the interior of the guide frame 804. A movable block 805 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 803, and a clamping block 806 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 805. A penetrating guide groove 807 is provided in the middle of the top and bottom of the guide frame 804, and the top of the clamping block 806 passes through the guide groove 807 and extends to the top of the guide frame 804. When the bathtub needs to be clamped, the first cylinder 803 is operated, and the movable block 805 is pulled to move by the piston rod. Since the clamping block 806 is fixed to the top of the movable block 805, the clamping block 806 can move with the movement of the piston rod, thereby clamping and releasing the bathtub, ensuring the stability and safety of the bathtub during the flipping process.

[0035] Movable block 805 is T-shaped, with its bottom slidably connected to a guide slot 807 located at the bottom. This ensures the stability of movable block 805 during movement and reduces errors caused by shaking or offset. Bearings 808 are rotatably connected to the four corners of movable block 805, and bearings 808 are rollingly connected to the interior of guide frame 804, further enhancing the stability of movable block 805 during movement.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the pressing frame assembly 10 includes a second cylinder 1001, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cage frame 6, and a mounting frame 1002 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 1001. A plurality of second transmission rollers 1003 are transmission-connected on both sides of the mounting frame 1002, and a second drive motor 1004 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 1002. The output end of the second drive motor 1004 is transmission-connected to the second transmission roller 1003, and the second transmission roller 1003 is connected to the second drive motor 1004 by a chain, gear or other transmission method.

[0037] The mounting frame 1002 is rotatably connected to synchronous shafts 1005 on all four sides, with gears 1006 fixedly mounted on both ends. A rack 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the cage frame 6, with the teeth of gear 1006 meshing with those of rack 11. When the second cylinder 1001 is in operation, the piston rod's extension and retraction drive the mounting frame 1002 up and down. During this process, the gears 1006 on the synchronous shaft 1005 remain meshed with the rack 11, ensuring the stability of the mounting frame 1002 during movement. Driven by the second cylinder 1001, the mounting frame 1002 can be pressed or released to adjust the bathtub. Simultaneously, the rotation of the second drive roller 1003 assists in transmitting power or adjusting the bathtub's position.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the cage 6 comprises multiple circular rings. The grooves of the guide wheels 5 and adjustment wheels 7 snap into place on the outer periphery of the rings, ensuring precise guidance and positioning of the cage 6 during movement. A square frame is fixedly connected to the center of the rings via connecting rods, forming a sturdy frame structure that increases overall stability and load-bearing capacity. A lower transmission assembly 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square frame, and a pressure frame assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the square frame, facilitating the securement of the bathtub, ensuring smooth and precise flipping, and adapting to the flipping requirements of bathtubs of different sizes.

[0039] Working principle: The bathtub to be flipped is transported to the top of the lower transmission assembly 8. The first cylinder 803 is activated, and the movable block 805 is pulled by the piston rod to move. Since the clamping block 806 is fixed to the top of the movable block 805, the clamping block 806 can move with the movement of the piston rod to achieve clamping of both sides of the bathtub.

[0040] The second cylinder 1001 operates, pushing the mounting frame 1002 downward via the piston rod. During this process, the gear 1006 on the synchronization shaft 1005 remains in meshing with the rack 11, ensuring the stability of the mounting frame 1002 during movement. The mounting frame 1002, pushed by the second cylinder 1001, can press the top of the bathtub to be turned over.

[0041] When the first drive motor 2 is running, its output end will drive the transmission shaft 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission shaft 3 will drive the guide wheel 5 to rotate synchronously. As the guide wheel 5 continues to rotate, the cage frame 6 will flip 360 degrees along a preset trajectory. This flipping process is achieved through the coordinated action of the guide wheel 5 and the adjustment wheel 7, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the flipping.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements that are inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
