[0029] In the embodiment, first slide rail 2 includes first direction extending first track 202 and ball screw assembly along first direction, and first slide 201 is clamped on first track 202 and can slide along first direction. The ball screw is used to drive first slide 201 to move on first slide rail 2, and the ball screw has the characteristics of stable movement, high precision, high transmission efficiency and good synchronism, the first ball screw includes first motor 204, first screw rod and first nut, the first screw rod is arranged along the first direction and is connected with the rotating shaft of first motor 204, the first motor 204 drives the first screw rod to rotate around its axial direction, the first nut is sleeved on the first screw rod, and the first slide 201 is connected with the first nut of the first ball screw, when the first motor 204 drives the first screw rod to rotate around its axial direction, the first nut moves along the axial direction of the first screw rod. In some embodiments, the movement of first slide 201 on first slide rail 2 can also be controlled by a pneumatic cylinder. First drag chain assembly 203 is also arranged on first slide rail 2, one end of first drag chain assembly 203 is connected with first slide 201, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom plate on which first slide rail 2 is installed, and first drag chain assembly 203 can protect the wire during the sliding process of first slide 201, and reduce the wear of the wire during the sliding process of first slide 201 along the first direction.
[0030] Two clamping jaws are arranged on each clamping arm 302, and the clamping jaws on different clamping arms 302 are arranged in pairs. The clamping jaws on the clamping arm 302 are symmetrical relative to the rotation axis, and the appearance of the clamping assembly 3 is neat and beautiful. In addition, two clamping jaws are arranged on each clamping arm 302, which can increase the first contact area of the clamping jaw and the part, avoid the part from tilting in the part flipping process, affect the flipping effect of the part, and even damage the part.
[0031] The clamping jaw includes a finger cylinder 304 and two clamping blocks 305 arranged in sequence in the first direction. The two clamping blocks 305 are respectively connected with parallel fingers of the finger cylinder 304, and the finger cylinder 304 is used to drive the two clamping blocks 305 to open and close to clamp the part. The finger cylinder 304 has the advantages of automatic centering, high repeat accuracy, constant gripping torque, etc. In this embodiment, the two clamping blocks 305 on each clamping jaw are L-shaped. The L-shaped clamping block 305 can change the arrangement direction of the finger cylinder 304.

By arranging the second sliding rail 1, the clamping assembly 3 can move in the second direction, and after the turnover of the part is completed, the part can be moved in the second direction through the second sliding rail 1, and then moved to a new placement position through the first sliding rail 2. By arranging the second sliding rail 1, the flexibility of moving the part after the turnover of the part is increased, and the practicability of the turnover mechanism and the applicability to different environments are improved. The second sliding rail 1 also drives the first sliding rail 2 to move through a second ball screw, and the second ball screw comprises a second motor, a second screw rod and a second nut. The first sliding rail 2 is connected with the second nut in the ball screw. The second screw rod extends in the second direction. The second nut is sleeved on the second screw rod. The second motor is connected with the second screw rod. The second motor is used to drive the second screw rod to rotate around the axial direction, and simultaneously drive the second nut to move in the axial direction of the second screw rod. In some embodiments, the second sliding rail 1 drives the first sliding rail 2 to move in the second direction through a pneumatic cylinder. The second sliding rail 1 is provided with a second drag chain assembly 101. One end of the second drag chain assembly 101 is connected with the first sliding rail 2, and the other end is connected with a base on which the second sliding rail 1 is arranged. The second drag chain assembly 101 has the same effect as the first drag chain assembly 203, and will not be described here.
[0034] In the embodiment, the first contact surface of the clamping block 305 is provided with an anti-skid rubber 306. By arranging the anti-skid rubber 306 on the clamping jaw, the outer surface of the part can be prevented from being scratched or damaged when the part is clamped by the clamping jaw. Meanwhile, the anti-skid rubber 306 can increase the friction between the clamping jaw and the part when the part is clamped by the clamping jaw, so that the part can be prevented from slipping out of the clamping jaw when the turnover mechanism turns over and moves the part. In some embodiments, the part-contacting portion of the anti-skid rubber 306 is a second contact surface, and the second contact surface is provided with an anti-skid structure. The anti-skid structure can be a first anti-skid protrusion extending in the third direction, and the second contact surface is provided with a plurality of first anti-skid protrusions arranged in the second direction in sequence and at intervals. Alternatively, the anti-skid structure is a second anti-skid protrusion protruding toward the part in the first direction, and the second contact surface is provided with a plurality of second anti-skid protrusions.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the turnover mechanism further comprises a placement table 4, and the placement table 4 is provided with a placement position for placing the part. The placement position is provided with at least three supporting columns 402. Each supporting column 402 extends in the first direction and is used to support the part. In this way, a clamping gap between the part and the placement table 4 can be ensured, and the clamping block 305 of the clamping jaw can extend into the clamping gap so that the part is located on the movement track of the clamping block 305.
[0036] The positioning column 401 is arranged on the placing position for positioning the spare part, and the positioning column 401 extends along the first direction. In the embodiment, six positioning columns 401 are arranged on the placing position of one spare part, and when the spare part is placed on the supporting column 402, the positioning column 401 abuts against the side edge of the spare part to position the placing position of the spare part, so that the clamping assembly 3 can clamp the spare part at the given position.
[0037] In the embodiment, the weight-reducing hole 303 is arranged on the clamping arm 302 for reducing the weight, so that the weight of the clamping arm 302 can be reduced to achieve the lightweight target. Meanwhile, after the weight of the clamping arm 302 is reduced, the gravity acting on the first sliding block 201 during the movement can be reduced.
[0038] In summary, after the clamping assembly 3 clamps the spare part, the clamping assembly 3 can be moved to the appropriate position along the first direction under the driving of the displacement assembly, and then the clamping assembly 3 is driven to rotate to overturn the spare part on the clamping assembly 3. The clamping arm 302 of the clamping assembly 3 can be opened and closed along the first direction, so that the spare part is within the clamping range of the clamping jaw, and the side edge of the clamped plate-shaped or sheet-shaped spare part is avoided, so as to increase the first contact area with the spare part and increase the friction force, so that the spare part can be avoided from slipping out of the clamping jaw during the overturning process.
