DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] A product automatic turning mechanism, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which includes an upper detection production line 10, a lower detection production line 20, and a vertical transfer mechanism 30;

[0024] The vertical transfer mechanism 30 includes a vertical support 40, a lifting module 50, an eccentric rotating mechanism 60, and a clamping mechanism 70. The lifting module 50 is fixedly mounted on the vertical plate 41 of the vertical support 40. The output end of the lifting module 50 is fixedly connected to an eccentric rotating mechanism 60 via a horizontal vertical plate 80. The clamping mechanism 70 is fixedly mounted on the eccentric output end of the eccentric rotating mechanism 60. The clamping mechanism 70 has two working states. When the clamping mechanism 70 is facing downward, it is used to clamp or release the product. When the clamping mechanism 70 is facing upward, it is used to perform a lifting action or standby.

[0025] The upper inspection line 10 is located directly above the lower inspection line 20. The vertical bracket 40 is located at one end of the connection position of the upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20. When the clamping mechanism 70 faces downward, it is located directly above the corresponding position of the upper inspection line 10 or the lower inspection line 20. The height distance between the upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20 is greater than the height space for the clamping mechanism 70 to flip.

[0026] In a specific implementation, a transverse vertical plate 80 is fixedly provided at the output end of the lifting module 50, and an eccentric rotating mechanism 60 is provided at the outer end area of ​​the transverse vertical plate 80 located outside the surface area of ​​the lifting module 50;

[0027] The eccentric rotating mechanism 60 includes a servo motor 61, a rotating vertical plate 62, and a support plate 63. The servo motor 61 is fixed to the outer end area of ​​the horizontal vertical plate 80. The output shaft of the servo motor 61 passes through the through hole of the horizontal vertical plate 80 and is connected to one end of the rotating vertical plate 62 in the longitudinal direction. The other end of the rotating vertical plate 62 in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the support plate 63. The support plate 63 extends toward the upper inspection product 10 or the lower inspection production line 20. The support plate 63 is fixed with a clamping mechanism 70 in the position area corresponding to the corresponding work station.

[0028] The rotating vertical plate 62 is fixedly connected to the support plate 63 through the L-shaped connecting plate 64 to ensure that the support plate 63 is installed firmly and reliably;

[0029] A circular flange 621 is provided at one end of the rotating vertical plate 62 , and a rotating disk 65 is provided on the output shaft sleeve of the servo motor 61 . The rotating disk 65 is fixedly connected to the circular flange 621 to ensure stable and reliable rotation output.

[0030] The upper inspection line 10 and the lower inspection line 20 are both provided with a product carrier 90, which moves along the straight track direction of the inspection line;

[0031] In a specific implementation, there are four product carriers 90, which are arranged on the transverse track of the variable pitch platform 110. The bottom of the variable pitch platform 110 is supported by the linear moving end of the corresponding inspection production line, which enables four products to be inspected at each inspection. The distance between adjacent products 100 can be quickly adjusted according to the inspection requirements of each inspection station.

[0032] The clamping mechanism 70 includes four sets of clamping jaws 71. The lateral spacing between the four sets of clamping jaws 71 is the spacing distance between the corresponding product carriers 90 at the connection station position. This allows the clamping mechanism 70 to complete the corresponding work only by clamping and releasing, without calculating other parameters between the clamping jaws 71; each set of clamping jaws 71 is a contoured clamping jaw to ensure that the product surface will not be damaged.

[0033] During specific implementation, the upper limit position of the lifting module 50 corresponds to the position of the clamping product and the position of the clamping product placed by the clamping mechanism 70 of the upper detection production line 10, and the lower limit position of the lifting module 50 corresponds to the position of the clamping product and the position of the clamping product placed by the clamping mechanism 70 of the lower detection production line 20, so that it is not easy to cause misoperation during operation.

[0034] The working process is as follows: the corresponding connecting stations between the upper inspection production line and the lower inspection production line are arranged in the upper and lower positions, and the eccentric rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to go deep into the corresponding station, and the lifting module drives the clamping mechanism to rise and fall, so that the clamping claws of the clamping mechanism clamp the product on the corresponding station, and then the eccentric rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to leave the production line area again, and the lifting module drives the clamping mechanism to rise and fall, and then the eccentric rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to enter the corresponding station above the inspection high line at another height, and then releases the clamping claws of the clamping mechanism to make the product fall into the new station area, and then the inspection product drives the product to move in a straight line for subsequent inspection; the vertical transfer mechanism can transport the products of the upper inspection production line to the lower inspection production line, and can also transport the products of the lower inspection production line to the upper inspection production line, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0036] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
