[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A turning device for processing flexible circuit boards includes an L-shaped plate 1, a cylinder 2 is provided on the left side of the L-shaped plate 1, a driving rod 3 is provided at the power output end of the cylinder 2, a movable slider 4 is provided on the lower surface of the driving rod 3, a chute 5 is provided in the middle position of the front of the movable slider 4, and a connecting rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 5;

[0023] A connecting wheel 7 is provided in the middle position of the front of the connecting rod 6, and a motor placement plate 8 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting wheel 7. A servo motor 9 is provided on the upper surface of the motor placement plate 8. A driving rod 2 10 is provided at the power output end of the servo motor 9. A flip assembly 11 is provided on the left side of the driving rod 2 10. The flip assembly 11 includes a square sleeve 23. A suction cup 12 is provided on the lower surface of the square sleeve 23, and the number of the suction cups 12 is twelve. A gas hose 13 is provided on the front of the square sleeve 23. The lower surface of the L-shaped plate 1 is fixedly connected to a support plate 14. The front and rear sides of the left side of the support plate 14 are fixedly connected. It is connected to two movable guide rails 15, and the right side of the movable slider 4 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the movable guide rails 15. The lower surface of the support plate 14 is fixedly connected to a load-bearing plate 16, and the middle position of the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 16 is fixedly connected to a square plate 17. The front of the square plate 17 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 18. An air pump 19 is provided at the left position of the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 16, and the lower surface of the load-bearing plate 16 is fixedly connected to a load-bearing frame 20. Two conveyor belts 21 are provided on both sides of the front of the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 16, and the lower surface of the two conveyor belts 21 is fixedly connected to a support column 22 on the side away from the middle position.

[0024] When the operator processes the flexible circuit board, it is necessary to spend manpower to flip the flexible circuit board, which increases the workload of the operator. This method not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also reduces the processing efficiency of the flexible circuit board. In addition, the operator uses both hands to flip the flexible circuit board, which may cause damage to the surface of the flexible circuit board, increase the defective rate of the flexible circuit board, and reduce practicality.

[0025] When the operator uses the device to work, he first starts the cylinder 2, and the power output end of the cylinder 2 will move downward, so that the driving rod 1 3 will drive the moving slider 4 to move downward, so that the connecting rod 6 and the connecting wheel 7 will move along the arc-shaped limit groove 18 to the left side of the inner wall of the square plate 17. Then the operator starts the servo motor 9 and the air pump 19, and the power output end of the servo motor 9 is started, so that the driving rod 2 10 is rotated. The rotation of the driving rod 2 10 will drive the flip assembly 11 to rotate 180 degrees. When the flexible circuit board is transported to the middle position of the load-bearing plate 16 through the rear conveyor belt 21, the operation of the cylinder 2 will cause the flip assembly 11 to reach the tail position of the rear conveyor belt 21, and then through the operation of the air pump 19, the air hose 13 and the suction cup 12, the flexible circuit board will be adsorbed on the lower surface of the suction cup 12, and then The power output end of the cylinder 2 begins to rise, causing the connecting rod 6 and the flip assembly 11 to begin to rise along the arc-shaped limit groove 18. When they rise to the highest point of the inner wall of the arc-shaped limit groove 18, the flexible circuit board will be flipped over. The power output end of the cylinder 2 drives the driving rod 3 to begin to descend, so that the flexible circuit board adsorbed on the surface of the suction cup 12 can be transported to the head position of the conveyor belt 21 in front, and then transported through the conveyor belt 21 in front. The processed flexible circuit board can be transported to the next work location, avoiding the operator's manpower to flip and transport the flexible circuit board, reducing the operator's workload, and avoiding the operator's use of both hands to touch the flexible circuit board and causing damage to the surface of the flexible circuit board, reducing the defective rate of the flexible circuit board, and accelerating the processing efficiency of the flexible circuit board, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.

[0026] When the suction cup 12 is adsorbed onto the flexible circuit board at the rear position of the inner wall of the square plate 17, the servo motor 9 starts to work. When the flipping assembly 11 is transported to the highest point of the arc-shaped limit groove 18 through the operation of the cylinder 2, the servo motor 9 rotates one hundred and eighty degrees, causing the flexible circuit board to flip over. Then the operator can perform processing operations on the other side of the flexible circuit board. After the processing is completed, when the flipping assembly 11 drops from the highest point of the arc-shaped limit groove 18 to the lowest point in front of the inner wall of the arc-shaped limit groove 18, the flipping assembly 11 will rotate another one hundred and eighty degrees, causing the flexible circuit board to flip again, and the flexible circuit board will be transported to the upper surface of the front conveyor belt 21, and the processed flexible circuit board will be transported to the next work location.

[0027] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them.
