Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to workpiece transportation technical field, concretely relates to a part vertical and horizontal conversion device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern industrial production, the application of automation technology has become increasingly common, especially in the field of assembly and packaging. In order to improve efficiency and accuracy, every link on the automated assembly line must be carefully designed to ensure smooth process and product safety. In this process, accurate vertical and horizontal posture adjustment of ammunition and its packaging is a crucial step. This adjustment not only concerns the smooth operation of the assembly line, but also directly affects the quality and safety of the final product.

[0003] However, under the existing technical conditions, this key step - the vertical and horizontal conversion of the packaging cylinder and the bullet body - still needs to rely on manual operation. This manual operation, although to some extent guarantees flexibility, also brings many problems. First of all, since the bullet may accidentally fall when it is taken out of the packaging cylinder, this not only poses a direct threat to the safety of the operator, but also may cause them to suffer serious physical injury. Secondly, the falling of the bullet may also cause more serious consequences, such as explosion, which not only endangers the safety of the operator, but also may cause damage to the entire production environment.
