[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the conveyor line turnover detection device includes:

[0050] The support frame 10 has a conveying component 20 for longitudinally conveying the box body inside;

[0051] The code scanning component 30 is located on the lateral side of the support frame 10 and can scan the code of the transported box;

[0052] The adjusting component 40 includes:

[0053] The support plate 41 is driven to rise and fall on the support frame 10;

[0054] The flip plate 45 is located above the conveying member 20. One side of the upper end of the flip plate 45 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 41, and the other side is driven so that the flip plate 45 flips around the rotating end at a certain angle.

[0055] The clamping member 50 is located at the lower end of the flip plate 45 and is capable of grabbing and releasing the box on the conveying member 20;

[0056] Specifically, the support frame 10 can be an L-shaped frame structure, which is assembled from profiles. The support frame 10 is placed on the conveying component 20. The conveying component 20 includes a conveying support plate and a plurality of conveying rollers mounted on the conveying support plate. The plurality of conveying rollers convey the box body longitudinally. The conveying component 20 can be an existing conveying structure and will not be further elaborated here.

[0057] The code scanning component 30 is configured to identify the information of the transported box and transmit the identified information to the information center via wireless or wired means, and the information center archives the information or performs corresponding actions;

[0058] The adjusting component 40 is configured to flip the transported box at a certain angle so that the bottom end of the box faces the code scanning component 30;

[0059] The clamping member 50 is configured to grasp and release the transported box, for example, by using a cylinder structure to drive the corresponding clamping plate 52 to grasp and release the box;

[0060] When the conveyor line flip detection device is in use, the box is normally conveyed longitudinally on the conveying component 20, the support plate 41 is raised and lowered so that the flip plate 45 is at a certain height, and the clamping component 50 is in an open state;

[0061] When the box identification information is at the bottom, the support plate 41 moves downward, so that the clamping parts 50 in the open state are located on both sides of the conveying box. The clamping parts 50 start to clamp the conveyed box and move upward a certain distance through the support plate 41 to ensure that there is enough space for the box to turn over.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, the flip plate 45 is driven so that one end is rotated around the other end by a certain angle until the clamping part 50 at the lower end of the flip plate 45 faces the code scanning part 30. That is, after the box is flipped, the lower end of the box faces the code scanning part 30, and the code scanning part 30 scans and recognizes the identification information at the lower end of the box.

[0063] When the box is scanned and identified, the flip plate 45 rotates in the opposite direction and the support plate 41 moves downward on the support frame 10, and the box is placed back on the conveying member 20 for further conveying.

[0064] The conveyor line flip detection device drives the flip plate 45 to different heights by moving the support plate 41 up and down. One side of the flip plate 45 rotates around the other side at a certain angle, so that the box grasped at the lower end of the flip plate 45 is flipped toward the code scanning component 30. The overall structure is simple and compact, and the code scanning of the identification information at the lower end of the box is realized to avoid missed detection due to the influence of transportation. After the code scanning is completed, the flip plate 45 rotates in the opposite direction and the support plate 41 moves to place the box on the conveying component 20 for continued transportation.

[0065] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment component 40 also includes:

[0066] The slide plate 43 is connected to the first cylinder 42 and is driven to slide laterally on the support plate 41;

[0067] A support arm 44, one end of which is rotatably connected to the slide plate 43, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the other side of the flip plate 45 through a first support 46;

[0068] Among them, one side of the flip plate 45 is connected to the support plate 41 through the second support 47;

[0069] Specifically, the slide plate 43 can be slid transversely on the support plate 41 via a linear slide rail, one end of the slide plate 43 is connected to the first cylinder 42, and the first cylinder 42 is fixed on the support plate 41;

[0070] The flip plate 45 is provided with a first support 46 and a second support 47. For example, when the flip plate 45 is in an initial, unflipped state, the first support 46 is closer to the code scanning component 30 than the second support 47. The support arm 44 has a certain obtuse angle bend, one end of which is rotatably connected to the slide plate 43, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the first support 46. The rotatable connection can be in the form of a support shaft and a bearing.

[0071] The flip plate 45 is connected to the support plate 41 via the second support 47. As described above, the rotation axis heights of the first support 46 and the second support 47 are different. Preferably, the axis height of the second support 47 is greater than the rotation height of the first support 46.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, in this example, when the first cylinder 42 is activated, the slide plate 43 drives the support arm 44 to move horizontally. Since the support arm 44 is connected to the flip plate 45 through the first support 46, and the flip plate 45 is connected to the support plate 41 through the second support 47, the support arm 44 drives the flip plate 45 to rotate around the second support 47 to a certain angle; when the first cylinder 42 moves in the opposite direction, the support arm 44 drives the flip plate 45 to return to its original position around the second support 47, completing the action of the flip plate 45;

[0073] Preferably, the flip plate 45 is initially arranged horizontally, with a flip angle of 90°, so that the lower end of the flip plate 45 can be flipped to a vertical state facing the code scanning component 30.

[0074] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support plate 41 is provided with a sensor component for identifying the limit flip angle of the flip plate 45;

[0075] The sensor assembly transmits the signal to the controller, which controls the action of the first cylinder 42;

[0076] Specifically, the sensor assembly can be divided into a first sensor 61 and a second sensor 62 provided on the support arm 44. The first sensor 61 is used to identify and sense the angle of the flip plate 45 after flipping, and the second sensor 62 is used to identify and sense when the flip plate 45 returns to a horizontal state.

[0077] The first sensor 61 and the second sensor 62 can be distance sensors, pressure sensors or contact sensors. Taking the pressure sensor as an example, when the flip plate 45 flips over and one side thereof contacts the pressure sensor and generates a certain pressure, the controller receives this signal and controls the first cylinder 42 to stop moving.

[0078] Preferably, the first sensor 61 is close to the slide plate 43. When the slide plate 43 moves so that the flip plate 45 flips toward the code scanning component 30, the pressure sensor identifies the position of the slide plate 43; the second sensor 62 is close to the flip plate 45. When the flip plate 45 flips back to its original position so that the flip plate 45 is in a horizontal state, the pressure sensor identifies the position of the flip plate 45. In addition, the first sensor 61 and the second sensor 62 are removable and installed, and can be adjusted in position according to usage requirements. For example, when the flip plate 45 flips upward 60° from the initial horizontal position, the first sensor 61 identifies the position of the flip plate 45, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the flip angle.

[0079] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the clamping component 50 includes:

[0080] At least one second cylinder 51 is a dual-output telescopic structure, and the output ends are respectively connected to the clamping plates 52;

[0081] When the number of the second cylinders 51 is not less than two, the plurality of second cylinders 51 are arranged longitudinally and spaced apart;

[0082] Specifically, the second cylinder 51 has a dual-output structure, with clamping plates 52 connected to both ends. When the second cylinder 51 is activated, it drives the pair of clamping plates 52 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby achieving the grabbing and releasing of the box.

[0083] When there are multiple second cylinders 51 , the multiple second cylinders 51 are linked together, that is, they can grab and release at the same time to ensure stable flipping of the box; specifically, the second cylinder 51 is connected to the controller, and the controller controls the action of the second cylinder 51 .

[0084] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 10 is provided with a driving component, which includes:

[0085] Drive motor 11;

[0086] The screw rod 12 is arranged to rotate vertically and one end of the screw rod is connected to the output end of the driving motor 11;

[0087] The support slide 13 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 12 and slidably mounted on the support frame 10, wherein the support plate 41 is mounted on the support slide 13;

[0088] Specifically, the driving motor 11 is mounted on the supporting frame 10, and the output end is connected to the screw rod 12, and the screw rod 12 is rotatably mounted through a bearing;

[0089] The support slide 13 is connected to the support frame 10 through a linear slide rail. An ear seat can be fixed on the support slide 13, that is, the ear seat is rotatably connected to the screw rod 12. When the drive motor 11 is started, the screw rod 12 rotates to drive the support slide 13 to move up and down on the support frame 10, so as to facilitate the height adjustment of the adjustment component 40.

[0090] As described, the drive motor 11 can be connected to the controller, and the controller controls the drive motor 11, the first cylinder 42, and the second cylinder 51 to realize the grabbing and releasing of the box, the turning of the box, and the height adjustment of the box according to the process.

[0091] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the code scanning component 30 includes:

[0092] Fixed frame 31, arranged vertically;

[0093] At least one barcode scanning camera 33, with its camera end facing the flip plate 45;

[0094] At least one long light source 32, the light is directed toward the flip plate 45;

[0095] Specifically, the fixing frame 31 can be formed by welding and bolting profiles, and the code scanning camera 33 can be multiple and arranged at intervals up and down, with the camera end facing the flip plate 45 to shoot and identify the information on the box;

[0096] The long light source 32 can be a pair, which are located on both sides of the code scanning camera 33 at intervals, and the light is directed towards the flip plate 45, so that after the flip plate 45 is flipped, there is enough light to illuminate the bottom of the box, thereby increasing the exposure effect of the code scanning camera 33.

[0097] When the conveyor line turnover detection device is used, the support plate 41 is moved up and down so that the turnover plate 45 is at a certain height and the clamping component 50 is in an open state;

[0098] When the box identification information is at the bottom, the support plate 41 moves downward, so that the clamping parts 50 in the open state are located on both sides of the conveying box. The second cylinder 51 is activated, and the conveying box is clamped by the clamping plates 52 approaching each other and moving the support plate 41 upward by a certain distance to ensure that there is enough space for the box to turn over.

[0099] The first cylinder 42 is activated, and the support arm 44 is driven to move horizontally via the slide plate 43. The support arm 44 drives the flip plate 45 to flip around the second support 47 to a certain angle, until the clamping part 50 at the lower end of the flip plate 45 faces the code scanning part 30, and the code scanning camera 33 scans and recognizes the identification information at the lower end of the box;

[0100] After the code scanning and recognition is completed, when the first cylinder 42 moves in the opposite direction, the support arm 44 drives the flip plate 45 to return to a horizontal state around the second support 47, the second cylinder 51 starts, and the support plate 41 moves downward on the support frame 10, and the box is placed back on the conveying part 20 for continued transportation.

[0101] The above describes in detail the exemplary implementation of the conveyor line flip detection device proposed in the present invention with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that, without departing from the concept of the present invention, various modifications and variations can be made to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and various technical features and structures proposed in the present invention can be combined in various ways without exceeding the scope of protection of the present invention, which is determined by the appended claims.
