Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a turning machine. Background Art

[0002] In the electronics and semiconductor packaging and testing manufacturing industries, it's often necessary to inspect and label both the top and bottom surfaces of electronic products, such as memory sticks, PCBs, and chips. These products are typically placed in specialized boxes called trays. In this industry, after processing one side, the other side must be turned over mechanically or manually. This is not only inefficient but can also easily lead to product damage or even material mixing due to human error. With this in mind, we've developed a device that automatically flips trays. This not only improves efficiency and reduces human error, but also allows for the recording and tracking of product information for each batch, facilitating later traceability. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the existing deficiencies, this utility provides a turning machine, which adopts the servo motor to rotate the angle and cooperate with the cylinder to clamp and lift the machine, and the servo motor drives the conveyor belt to feed and discharge the material to achieve the above purpose. This utility is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0004] A turning machine comprises a body, a feeding module, a turning module, a discharging module and a control system. The control system controls the operation of the entire turning device.

[0005] The flip module includes a supporting device, a rotating device, and a Tray clamping device.

[0006] The feeding module includes a conveyor belt, a driving motor and a track.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating device of the flip module is composed of a front support plate and a rear support plate suspended in an aluminum plate frame through a flip shaft and bearings. The servo motor at the bottom is decelerated by a reducer, and then drives a synchronous belt to allow the rotating device to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating device has two identical upper and lower Tray clamping devices 360 inside, and the two devices are driven to rise or fall by their respective cylinders (304) to align with the conveyor belt and streamline on the track.

[0009] Furthermore, the tray clamping device has cylinders on the front and side of the tray clamping position to clamp the tray.

[0010] Furthermore, the two Tray clamping devices each have a corresponding conveyor belt, a stepper motor and a streamline, which are responsible for moving the Tray to the discharge or feed module.

[0011] Preferably, the flip module can be repeatedly flipped between 0° and 200°, and the rotation circle cannot be more than 360°.

[0012] The beneficial effect of this utility model lies in that, through the rotation angle of the servo motor and the clamping and lifting action of the cylinder, it not only realizes the tray, but also transfers the product from one tray to another, and flips the product front and back at the same time. This replaces manual operation and reduces human error during the flipping process. The barcode recognition system is also equipped to record product batches for easy tracking later.

[0047] refer to Figure 4-7 There are two identical Tray clamping devices inside the flip module 3, the upper Tray clamping device 360 ​​and the lower Tray clamping device 3600. The upper Tray clamping device 360 ​​is used as an example to introduce the Tray clamping process.

[0048] The Tray Clamping Device 360 ​​clamps the Tray 5 using five cylinders in four directions. The cylinders in the four directions operate as follows:

[0049] The upper front stop cylinder 307 at the outlet of the flip module 3 rises to block the Tray 5, and then the upper rear stop cylinder 3070 at the entrance also rises, and the upper clamping cylinder 322 contracts to clamp the Tray 5, and at the same time the upper clamping head 320 clamps the Tray 5. There can be one or more upper clamping heads 320, and in this example there are two.

[0050] The entire upper tray clamping device 360 ​​can be pushed up or down by the upper cylinder 304 to loosen or clamp the tray. The four upper guide pillars 306 ensure that the upper tray clamping device 360 ​​can be raised and lowered smoothly and accurately.

[0051] When the tray enters or exits the upper tray clamping device 360 ​​, the conveyor belt stepping motor 315 drives the upper flow line 317 to rotate, thereby driving the tray to enter or exit.

[0052] The working method includes the following steps:

[0053] S1: First-item mode. The lower tray clamping device is located at the bottom. The lower front stop cylinder 308 rises, and the empty tray 5 flows into the lower flow line 3170. The upper rear stop cylinder 3070 rises, and the lower clamping cylinder 3220 contracts. At the same time, the upper clamping head 302 clamps the tray 5. The servo motor 312 drives the flip axis 330 to rotate 180°, thereby rotating the entire flip module 3 180°. The lower tray clamping device is located at the top, waiting for the tray 5 containing the memory stick to enter.

[0054] When the tray 5 is loaded with products, it enters the feeding conveyor 204 and then enters the upper flow line 317. When it reaches the turning position in the turning device 3, it is blocked by the upper front stop cylinder 307, and the upper rear stop cylinder 3070 is raised. The control system 6 controls the upper clamping head 320 to clamp the tray 5. At this time, the lower cylinder 3040 at the top drives the lower clamping tray device to descend, so that the empty tray 5 is pressed down and superimposed on the tray 5 below. At this time, the control system 6 controls the rotating device 32 to drive the entire turning device 3 to turn 180°, so that the products in the tray are also poured into the empty tray. At this time, the lower clamping tray device is located at the bottom, the upper rear stop cylinder 3070 of the lower flow line 3170 contracts, and the lower clamping cylinder 3220 is released, and the tray 5 carrying the products enters the discharge flow line 401 of the discharge module 4.

[0055] S3: The empty tray on the upper side is still clamped, and the upper front stop cylinder 307 is raised to block it, waiting for the next cycle as the loaded tray after flipping.

[0056] S54: After the tray 5 enters the discharge flow line 401 of the discharge module 4, the scanner 402 starts scanning. The tray 5 stops scanning after flowing out of the discharge module 4. At the same time, the information of this product is uploaded to the control system 6. The discharge stepper motor drives the discharge flow line 401 to continue to send the product tray to the next station, and the flipping work is completed.

[0057] The above embodiment is only one embodiment of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make a number of modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
