For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a replaceable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] This application discloses a flip-in-shell device.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 One embodiment of the flip-in-shell device provided in this application includes:

[0051] The device includes a carrier 100, a pressing mechanism 300, a bearing mechanism 200, and a flipping mechanism 400.

[0052] The device carrier 100 is a support and fixing structure for the device, which can be a support frame, and there are no restrictions.

[0053] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism 200 is installed on the device carrier 100 and has a fixed station for fixing the workpiece to be inserted into the shell. A clamping module can be designed in the fixed station to fix the workpiece by clamping. The support mechanism 200 can be designed to include a support carrier 11 and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping driver 13 and a fixture. The clamping driver 13 is connected to a fixture 12 and drives the fixture 12 to move to clamp the workpiece to be inserted into the shell. The clamping driver 13 can be a telescopic cylinder, fixed on the support carrier 11, and its telescopic end is connected to the fixture 12, driving the fixture 12 to move closer to or away from the support carrier 11, thereby enabling the fixture 12 and the support carrier 11 to clamp the workpiece to be inserted into the shell. Depending on the processing needs, the number of clamping drivers 13 and fixtures 12 can be multiple. Those skilled in the art can adjust the design of the support mechanism 200 appropriately according to actual needs without limitation.

[0054] The pressing mechanism 300 is installed on the device carrier 100 and is located directly above the bearing mechanism 200; the pressing mechanism 300 is provided with a pressing part for pressing the workpiece to be inserted into the shell on the fixed station.

[0055] The flipping mechanism 400 is installed on the device carrier 100 and connected to the bearing mechanism 200. It is used to drive the bearing mechanism 200 to flip so that the fixed station can switch between the feeding position and the shell insertion position. The shell insertion position is the position of the fixed station directly opposite the pressing part.

[0056] Taking a 90° flip angle design as an example, the loading position is the fixed station in a horizontal orientation. At this time, the workpiece to be loaded into the shell can be loaded from the horizontal direction to the fixed station, and then rotated 90° to the vertical orientation to face the pressing part.

[0057] The flipping and loading device designed in this application distributes the pressing mechanism 300 and the supporting mechanism 200 vertically. The pressing part on the pressing mechanism 300 presses against the workpiece to be loaded onto the supporting mechanism 200 to achieve vertical loading. During the loading process, when the workpiece is in the loading position, the first supporting mechanism 200 provides full vertical support, preventing downward displacement due to gravity, effectively ensuring loading accuracy and greatly improving loading efficiency. Simultaneously, a flipping mechanism 400 is designed to control the pressing mechanism 300 to switch between the feeding position and the loading position, making it easier to load the workpiece while maintaining a compact overall structure and reducing floor space.

[0058] The above is Embodiment 1 of a flip-in-shell device provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a flip-in-shell device provided in this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1 to 4 .

[0059] Based on the solution of Embodiment 1 above;

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 400 includes a flipping support platform 21 and a flipping drive assembly 25.

[0061] Two fixed seats 22 are spaced apart on the flip support platform 21. The bearing mechanism 200 is pivotally connected between the two fixed seats 22 via a rotating shaft 14. The flip drive assembly 25 is connected to the bearing mechanism 200 and is used to drive the bearing mechanism 200 to rotate.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the design of the flip drive assembly 25 includes a telescopic driver, a transmission component 23, and a flip gear.

[0063] The reversing gear is fixed on the rotating shaft 14, and the telescopic end of the telescopic driver is connected to the transmission component 23. The transmission component 23 is provided with a straight tooth structure that meshes with the reversing gear.

[0064] The transmission component 23 can be a straight rack structure or a transmission shaft structure with a corresponding straight gear structure, and there are no specific restrictions.

[0065] The telescopic actuator can be a telescopic cylinder, which drives the transmission component 23 to move. The spur gear on the transmission component 23 then meshes with the tilting gear, thereby rotating the tilting gear. In essence, tilting control is achieved by converting linear motion into rotational motion. This linear-to-rotational motion conversion method has many advantages. It can achieve relatively precise angle control while ensuring sufficient tilting torque. Moreover, this transmission method is relatively stable and reliable. As long as the motion accuracy of the telescopic cylinder and the meshing accuracy between the transmission component 23 and the tilting gear are guaranteed, stable and repeatable tilting operations can be achieved, meeting the needs of object tilting control under different working conditions.

[0066] Furthermore, one of the mounting bases 22 has a mounting cavity.

[0067] The rotating shaft 14 extends into the mounting cavity and is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 22 via the bearing 3; the flipping gear is located in the mounting cavity; the transmission component 23 extends movably into the mounting cavity and meshes with the flipping gear.

[0068] The design of the mounting cavity is optimized based on the dimensions and motion trajectory of the tilting gear and the transmission component 23. The mounting cavity provides just the right amount of space for both, ensuring that their movement is not restricted by the space being too small, nor that unnecessary shaking or offset is caused by the space being too large. At the same time, it avoids external factors affecting the cooperation between the tilting gear and the transmission component 23, efficiently and stably converting the linear motion of the transmission component 23 into the rotational motion of the tilting gear, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the entire tilting mechanism 400.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the design of the fixed base 22 includes a base housing 221 and a base cover 222.

[0070] The cover 222 is detachably installed on the top of the housing 221 (specifically, the detachable connection is achieved by screws, bolts or bolts), and forms an installation cavity between the cover 222 and the housing 221; it rotatably extends into the housing 221 and is rotatably connected to the bearing 3 and the housing 221.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 The bottom of the cover 222 is provided with a guide groove 223 for guiding the movement of the transmission component 23. Through the guiding effect of this guide groove 223, the transmission component 23 can move smoothly along a predetermined path under any complex working conditions, even with a certain degree of vibration, impact, or other external interference. This not only ensures transmission efficiency, but more importantly, maintains accurate matching with other related components (such as meshing with the reversing gear).

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 221 has a mounting hole 224 on at least one side along the axial direction of the shaft 14, and the bearing 3 is installed in the mounting hole 224. The outer ring of the bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 224, while the inner ring of the bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the shaft 14. In the axial direction, the double bearing 3 structure also provides reliable constraint. Since the bearings 3 themselves have a certain axial load-bearing capacity, they can limit the axial movement of the shaft 14. The reversing gear rotates between the two bearings 3, and its axial position is stabilized, preventing displacement due to frequent rotation, which is crucial for maintaining a precise meshing relationship with the transmission component 23.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 221 has mounting holes 224 on both sides along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 14; bearings 3 are installed in both mounting holes 224, and the reversing gear is positioned between the two bearings 3. The double bearings 3, spaced apart, can further improve the reliability of the rotating installation of the rotating shaft 14.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the pressing mechanism 300 includes a pressing carrier 41, a pressing driver 42, and a pressing rod 43.

[0075] The pressure actuator 42 is mounted on the pressure carrier 41, and its driving end is connected to the pressure rod 43 to drive the pressure rod 43 to move. The end of the pressure rod 43 away from the pressure actuator 42 forms a pressure part. The pressure actuator 42 can be a telescopic cylinder, which drives the pressure rod 43 to move in order to complete the operation of pressing into the shell.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pressing mechanism 300 also includes a guide rail 44 and a slider 45.

[0077] The guide rail 44 is mounted on the pressing carrier 41, the slider 45 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 44, and the pressing rod 43 is mounted on the slider 45.

[0078] The pressure drive 42 is connected to the slider 45 and is used to drive the pressure rod 43 to move by moving the slider 45.

[0079] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of a flip-in-shell device provided in this application. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
