[0002] During the production and processing of backlight panels, it is usually necessary to transfer and flip the backlight panels to facilitate processing on both sides.

[0003] Traditional methods involve using a multi-dimensional robotic arm to grasp and move the backlight panel, or using a flipping fixture to hold and flip the backlight panel. The former is costly and difficult to control, while the latter is prone to damaging the backlight panel during gripping. Therefore, vacuum suction cups are currently widely used to replace these two solutions. However, in actual production applications, the size of the backlight panel varies depending on the usage scenario. Existing vacuum suction cups require specific design dimensions for flipping and transferring backlight panels of different sizes, resulting in high costs and poor adaptability. To address these issues, a backlight panel flipping device is provided. Utility Model Content

[0017] Preferably, a drive cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the horizontal slide rail, and the output end of the drive cylinder is fixedly assembled with the vertical slide rail.

[0018] Preferably, a support plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the vertical slide rail, and the suction cup is mounted on the support plate.

At the same time, the installation height of the rotary cylinder in the mounting hole is adjusted according to the width of the backlight panel, so that when the flipping arm is flipped by the rotary cylinder, the two sides of the backlight panel will not be blocked by the unloading conveyor belt. Thus, after the vacuum suction head adsorbs the backlight panel in the upward position, the rotary cylinder drives the flipping arm to flip 180 degrees, so that the backlight panel faces downward and is directly facing the unloading conveyor belt.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] This application provides a backlight panel flipping device, which solves the problems of high cost and poor adaptability of existing vacuum suction cups when flipping and transferring backlight panels of different sizes, which require the suction cup size to be designed specifically for them.

[0033] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] This utility model discloses a backlight panel flipping device.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] According to the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a flipping station 1 and a flipping unit 2 set on the flipping station 1. The flipping station 1 is also equipped with a gripping unit 3 for material movement.

[0037] The flipping unit 2 includes;

[0038] Assembly carrier plate 27 is fixedly set on the flipping station 1;

[0039] Multiple mounting holes 26 are provided on the assembly carrier plate 27;

[0040] The tilting arm 23 can be selectively mounted on the assembly carrier plate 27 at different heights through different mounting holes 26, and the tilting arm 23 can rotate around its own axis.

[0041] Through holes 25 are equidistantly provided on the tilting arm 23;

[0042] Vacuum nozzle 24, which can be selectively installed in any through hole 25.

[0043] The gripping unit 3 includes a traveling component and a suction cup component 37 disposed on the flipping station 1. The suction cup component 37 moves in the X and Y axis directions on the flipping station 1 via the traveling component.

[0044] The traveling component includes a horizontal slide rail 31 and a vertical slide rail 33. The horizontal slide rail 31 is fixedly mounted on the flipping station 1. The vertical slide rail 33 is horizontally slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 31. The suction cup component 37 is vertically slidably mounted on the vertical slide rail 33. A drive cylinder 32 is fixedly mounted on one end of the horizontal slide rail 31. The output end of the drive cylinder 32 is fixedly assembled with the vertical slide rail 33.

[0045] A support plate 34 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the vertical slide rail 33. A suction cup 37 is installed on the support plate 34. A traction belt 36 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical slide rail 33. A drive motor 35 for driving the traction belt 36 is installed on the vertical slide rail 33. The support plate 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the traction belt 36.

[0046] A positioning rail 310 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the bearing plate 34. A connecting part 38 is slidably provided on the outer wall of the positioning rail 310. A suction cup 37 is fixedly installed on the connecting part 38. A pressure spring 39 is provided between the top end of the connecting part 38 and the top end of the positioning rail 310. When the suction cup 37 adsorbs the workpiece, it is kept in contact with the workpiece surface by the pressure spring 39.

[0047] In this embodiment, the vertical slide rail 33 is driven by the drive cylinder 32 to move laterally on the horizontal slide rail 31, so that the suction cup 37 is at the top of the material conveyor belt. At this time, the drive motor 35 starts and drives the traction belt 36 to move. The traction belt 36 pulls the bearing plate 34 to move downward, so that the suction cup 37 is close to the backlight plate. Then it continues to move downward a short distance, so that the suction cup 37 is squeezed and moves upward a distance along the positioning rail 310, so that the pressure spring 39 is compressed. At this time, under the action of the pressure spring 39, the suction cup 37 is pressed against the surface of the backlight plate. At this time, the suction cup 37 starts and adsorbs the backlight plate. Then the drive motor 35 reverses, so that the suction cup 37 moves upward. Then the drive cylinder 32 starts and drives the suction cup 37 to move horizontally to above the flip arm 23.

[0048] Then, the suction cup 37 descends, pressing the backlight panel onto the flipping arm 23. Then, the suction cup 37 releases, allowing the backlight panel to move onto the flipping arm 23. At this time, the vacuum suction head 24 is activated in advance. When the backlight panel contacts the vacuum suction head 24, it is quickly attracted and fixed by the vacuum suction head 24. Then, the flipping arm 23 rotates 180 degrees, so that the backlight panel faces downwards and is directly facing the unloading conveyor belt. At this time, the vacuum suction head 24 releases, and the backlight panel naturally falls onto the unloading conveyor belt, completing the backlight panel flipping and unloading.

[0049] Example 2, according to the appendix Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, it includes a flipping station 1 and a flipping unit 2 set on the flipping station 1. The flipping station 1 is also equipped with a gripping unit 3 for material movement.

[0050] The flipping unit 2 includes;

[0051] Assembly carrier plate 27 is fixedly set on the flipping station 1;

[0052] Multiple mounting holes 26 are provided on the assembly carrier plate 27;

[0053] The tilting arm 23 can be selectively mounted on the assembly carrier plate 27 at different heights through different mounting holes 26, and the tilting arm 23 can rotate around its own axis.

[0054] Through holes 25 are equidistantly provided on the tilting arm 23;

[0055] Vacuum nozzle 24, which can be selectively installed in any through hole 25.

[0056] A rotary cylinder 21 is provided at one end of the tilting arm 23. The rotary cylinder 21 is fixedly installed to the assembly carrier plate 27 by screws passing through the mounting hole 26.

[0057] A turntable 22 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 21, and a tilting arm 23 is fixed at the outer axis of the turntable 22.

[0058] In this embodiment, the vacuum suction head 24 is adjusted in the through hole 25 according to the length of the backlight panel being processed, so that the vacuum suction head 24 can stably adsorb the backlight panel. At the same time, the installation height of the rotary cylinder 21 in the mounting hole 26 is adjusted according to the width of the backlight panel, so that when the flipping arm 23 is flipped by the rotary cylinder 21, the two sides of the backlight panel will not be blocked by the unloading conveyor belt. This method is suitable for processing backlight panels of different sizes.
