[0041] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a rotary lifting and conveying mechanism, which includes a base 100, a conveying assembly, a lifting assembly and a rotating assembly 400; the conveying assembly and the lifting assembly are both installed on the base 100, and the conveying assembly is used to convey products; the lifting assembly is connected to the rotating assembly 400, and is used to drive the rotating assembly 400 to rise and fall; the rotating assembly 400 is used to lift the products that have been conveyed to the position, and is used to drive the products to rotate.

[0044] After the product enters the conveying area, the conveying assembly can be controlled to convey the product from the input end to the output end. When the product is delivered to the desired location, the conveying assembly can be controlled to stop conveying and the lifting assembly can be controlled to drive the rotating assembly 400 to rise. After the rotating assembly 400 rises, it can lift the product on the conveying assembly. Under the action of the lifting assembly, the rotating assembly 400 can lift the lifted product to a certain height to remove the product from the conveying assembly. After that, the rotating assembly 400 can be controlled to rotate the lifted product by a certain angle (e.g., 180°). After that, the lifting assembly can be controlled to drive the rotating assembly 400 to descend, allowing the rotated product to fall back onto the conveying surface of the conveying assembly, and the conveying assembly can be controlled to continue conveying the product.

[0045] It should be noted that the above-mentioned conveying assembly, jacking assembly and rotating assembly 400 are all integrated into the base 100. The overall modular design allows the entire rotating jacking and conveying mechanism to be quickly replaced and repaired off-line in the event of a fault, which can shorten the downtime and maintenance time of the production line equipment and improve the production efficiency of the production line equipment. It also has a compact structure and saves space, and is particularly suitable for working conditions that require stable mechanism operation, limited equipment space, and rapid resumption of production line production.

[0046] Therefore, the rotary lifting and conveying mechanism provided in this embodiment not only has the function of transporting products, but also can realize the functions of rotating and lifting products; in addition, the overall modular design can improve the production efficiency of product equipment and save space.

[0047] The specific structure of the lifting assembly can include a first linear actuator and a lifting frame 320. The first linear actuator is mounted on the base 100, and the lifting frame 320 is connected to the first linear actuator. The first linear actuator drives the lifting frame 320 up and down. The specific structure of the rotating assembly 400 can include a first rotary actuator and a rotating platform 420. The first rotary actuator is mounted on the lifting frame 320, and the rotating platform 420 is connected to the first rotary actuator. The first rotary actuator drives the rotating platform 420 to rotate. The rotating platform 420 can lift the product, thereby achieving the functions of lifting and rotating the product. The first linear actuator can be the first linear cylinder 310, and the first rotary actuator can be the rotary cylinder 410.

[0048] A positioning structure can be provided on the rotating platform 420, and a corresponding structure on the product can cooperate with the positioning structure. After the product is in place, the rotating platform 420 is raised, allowing the positioning structure to cooperate with the corresponding structure on the product, achieving high-precision positioning of the product. This prevents the product from shifting during the lifting and rotation process. The positioning structure can be a positioning pin 430, and the corresponding structure on the product can be a pin hole. Both positioning pins 430 and pin holes can be provided in two, one-to-one correspondence, to improve positioning effectiveness.

[0049] A limiting member 110 may be installed on the base 100 . When the lifting frame 320 rises to the limit position, the limiting member 110 may block the lifting frame 320 , thereby limiting the lifting height of the product.

[0050] A lifting guide rail 120 may be provided on the base 100 , and the lifting frame 320 is slidably matched with the lifting guide rail 120 so as to guide the lifting frame 320 by the lifting guide rail 120 , thereby improving the lifting stability of the lifting frame 320 .

[0051] In addition, a second linear actuator and a stopper 620 can be installed near the output end of the base 100. The second linear actuator and the stopper 620 are connected so that the second linear actuator can drive the stopper 620 to rise and fall. When the second linear actuator drives the stopper 620 to rise, the stopper 620 can block the delivered product, thereby allowing the product to accurately stop at the designated location and improving the product placement accuracy. In the case of a positioning structure, this can ensure that the positioning structure and the corresponding structure on the product can be smoothly matched. The second linear actuator can be a second linear cylinder 610.

[0052] Furthermore, a check assembly can be installed at the position near the input end of the base 100 to prevent the product in place from rebounding by the blocking member 620, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the product and ensuring the stability of the mechanism operation and the efficiency of production capacity.

[0053] In the specific structure of the check block assembly, a check block 500 and a spring can be set, and the spring is connected between the check block 500 and the base 100. When the product passes the position of the check block 500 along the conveying direction, the check block 500 can compress the spring under the action of the downward pressure of the product. While the spring is compressed, the check block 500 drops to avoid the product, so that the product can smoothly pass through the position of the check block 500; after the product passes the position of the check block 500, the check block 500 will be pushed back to its original position by the spring due to the loss of the downward pressure of the product. At this time, the check block 500 can block the product to prevent the product from rebounding in the opposite direction by the blocking member 620.

[0054] In the specific structure of the above-mentioned conveying assembly, a second rotary drive, a synchronous belt 220, a driving pulley and a driven pulley 230 can be provided, and the second rotary drive, the driving pulley and the driven pulley 230 are all installed on the base 100; the synchronous belts 220 are provided with at least two and are distributed on opposite sides of the jacking assembly respectively, the top conveying surfaces of each synchronous belt 220 are set to be coplanar, and the conveying directions are set to be consistent, so that each synchronous belt 220 can convey the product synchronously; the driving pulley and the synchronous belt 220 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and the driving pulley is matched with the corresponding synchronous belt 220; the driven pulley 230 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of driven pulleys 230 are respectively matched with each synchronous belt 220; each driving pulley is connected to the second rotary drive, so that the second rotary drive drives each driving pulley to rotate, and then, under the action of the driven pulley 230, each synchronous belt 220 can operate with the rotation of the driving pulley to realize the conveying function of the product.

[0055] Each driving pulley can be coaxially connected to the rotating shaft via bearings, and the second rotary driver can be connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling. This allows the second rotary driver to drive the rotating shaft via the coupling, which in turn drives the driving pulleys. It should be noted that the coupling is a flexible connection, which can address the issue of misalignment between the rotating shaft and the second rotary driver. The bearings ensure smoother operation. Deep groove ball bearings are preferred.

[0056] The second rotary drive may include a motor 210 and a motor driver. Both motor 210 and motor driver are mounted on base 100, connected to motor 210, and connected to each driving pulley. The motor driver drives motor 210, which in turn drives each driving pulley. Motor 210 is preferably a stepper motor to ensure the product's travel distance. Stepper motors can be driven using an IO mode.

[0057] A position sensor 710 can be installed near the input end of the base 100. When a product enters the conveying area, the position sensor 710 can sense a signal. The position sensor 710 and the conveying assembly are both communicatively connected to a controller. The controller can control the conveying assembly to start conveying the product after the position sensor 710 senses the signal. Specifically, the motor 210 in the conveying assembly can be communicatively connected to the controller. The controller can control the motor 210 to operate after the position sensor 710 senses the signal.

[0058] A position sensor 720 can be installed near the output end of the base 100. When the product is delivered to the designated position, the position sensor 720 can sense a signal. The position sensor 720 and the conveying assembly are both communicatively connected to a controller. The controller can control the conveying assembly to stop operating and thus stop conveying the product after the position sensor 710 senses a signal. Specifically, the controller can control the motor 210 to stop operating after the position sensor 720 senses a signal.

[0059] The controller may be mounted to the base 100 .

[0060] Transition rollers 240 can be provided at the input and output ends of the conveying assembly, respectively, so that when the conveying assembly is docked with other conveying structures, the transition rollers 240 can play a smooth transition effect. In fact, the transition rollers 240 are located at both ends of the synchronous belt 220.

[0061] A vacuum suction cup 440 may be provided in the specific structure of the rotating assembly 400 to suck the product. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup 440 may be mounted on the rotating table 420; a vacuum generator 450 may be mounted on the base 100 and connected to the vacuum suction cup 440 to evacuate the vacuum suction cup 440.
