[0003] Traditional metal product transfer devices are only used for the transfer and packaging of metal products. They cannot simultaneously inspect the appearance of both sides of the metal products before packaging. Furthermore, due to the material characteristics and special structural design of thin metal sheets with double-sided printing, they are often quite fragile and easily affected by external factors. During the transfer process, accidents such as tipping, squeezing, collision, or scratches may occur, ultimately leading to damage to the metal products and unnecessary losses.
[0004] Therefore, a transfer device that can simultaneously meet the requirements of efficient transmission, secure packaging, and comprehensive testing is designed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shows a transfer device for processing metal products, comprising a transfer belt 1 symmetrically arranged front and rear. First mounting brackets 201 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the left side of the transfer belt 1. A first connecting rod 202 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the first mounting brackets 201. A flipping ring 203 is symmetrically arranged on the first connecting rod 202, with multiple flipping grooves 204. A flipping channel 205 is formed between two flipping grooves 204 on the same vertical side. Second mounting brackets 301 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the right side of the transfer belt 1. A second connecting rod 302 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the second mounting brackets 301. Transfer rings 303 are symmetrically arranged on the second connecting rod 302, with multiple transfer grooves 304. A transfer channel 305 is formed between two transfer grooves 304 on the same vertical side. The rear of the first mounting bracket 201 is located at the rear... A first fixing frame 4 is provided on the side, and a first motor 5 is provided on the top of the first fixing frame 4. The output shaft of the first motor 5 is connected to the first connecting rod 202. A second fixing frame 6 is provided on the rear side of the second mounting frame 301. A second motor 7 is provided on the top of the second fixing frame 6. The output shaft of the second motor 7 is connected to the second connecting rod 302. The second connecting rod 302 is hollow. Multiple sliding grooves 8 are provided on the front and rear sides of the second connecting rod 302 to provide a transfer ring 303. A double-headed telescopic rod 9 is installed inside the second connecting rod 302. Both the front and rear sides of the double-headed telescopic rod 9 are connected to locking rings 10. The locking ring 10 includes a circular ring 101, a first locking block 102 and a second locking block 103. A circular ring 101 is installed in the middle of the double-headed telescopic rod 9. Multiple first locking blocks 102 are provided on the inner side of the circular ring 101 and multiple second locking blocks 103 are provided on the outer side of the circular ring 101.
[0023] This invention, through the design of a two-layer flipping mechanism, maintains the stability of metal products during transport, effectively preventing tipping, squeezing, collision, or scratches, thereby reducing damage and loss. The flipping mechanism also enables the flipping of double-sided printed metal sheets, facilitating inspection of both sides to ensure pattern clarity and quality, meeting high-precision printing requirements. The design of the flipping ring 203 and transport ring 303 allows for automatic flipping of metal products during transport, eliminating the need for additional operations and improving transport efficiency. Furthermore, the positioning ring 10 automatically and vertically places the metal product into the packaging box when the transport ring 303 rotates it above the box, reducing damage caused by squeezing or collision, ensuring the integrity of the metal product during packaging, and improving final product quality.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated transfer device is specifically used for transferring double-sided printed metal sheets. Due to their thinness, extreme care must be taken during transfer to maintain the stability of the metal products and prevent tipping, compression, collision, or scratches, which could ultimately damage the metal products and incur unnecessary costs. Furthermore, such products require visual inspection of the printed patterns or text on both sides before leaving the factory to ensure clarity, the absence of defects, and ultimately guarantee printing and final product quality.
[0026] It includes a symmetrically arranged transfer belt 1. The transfer belt 1 can be driven to rotate by any driving component. Considering that the weight of double-sided printed metal sheets is not very large, it is only necessary to select belts with a certain load-bearing capacity, such as rubber belts, nylon belts, and polyester fiber belts.
[0027] It should be noted that during the period when the metal product moves to the right along with the transfer belt 1, the metal product is flipped twice. The first time is used to inspect the appearance of the front and back of the metal product, and the second time is to flip the metal product back to the front-facing state and transfer the front-facing metal product into the packing box.
[0028] First, there is a flipping inspection component located on the left side of the transfer belt 1. This component flips over the metal products that have been inspected from the front, enabling visual inspection of the reverse side of the metal products. The outer side of the transfer belt 1 is equipped with a first mounting bracket 201, which is symmetrically arranged front and back. A first connecting rod 202 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the first mounting bracket 201. A flipping ring 203 is symmetrically arranged on the first connecting rod 202, with multiple flipping grooves 204. A flipping channel 205 is formed between two flipping grooves 204 on the same vertical side. The transfer belt 1 is in complete contact with the first connecting rod 202, ultimately ensuring that the transmission surface of the transfer belt 1 is completely flush with the lowest point of the flipping channel 205. This allows for control of the flipping of the metal products as they are transported by the transfer belt 1. The intermittent rotation of ring 203 causes the rotating ring 203 to stop rotating when the metal product is conveyed to the alignment and flipping channel 205. At this time, the transfer belt 1 continues to rotate, pushing the metal product into the flipping channel 205. After being pushed in, it drives the rotating ring 203 to rotate again. This process is repeated, and with the help of the transfer belt 1, the metal products are continuously pushed into the various flipping slots 204 in the rotating ring 203. Then, after the metal product enters the flipping channel 205 and rotates 180 degrees, the metal product can be flipped. At this time, the reverse side of the metal product is facing up and comes into contact with the transfer belt 1 again. At the same time, the rotating ring 203 stops rotating, the left side receives new metal products, and the right side contacts the transfer belt 1 and moves to the transfer belt 1 under the driving force of the transfer belt 1, and then continues to move to the right.
[0029] Therefore, a first fixing frame 4 is also provided on the rear side of the first mounting frame 201. A first motor 5 is provided on the top of the first fixing frame 4. The output shaft of the first motor 5 is connected to the first connecting rod 202, so as to achieve precise control of the intermittent rotation of the flipping ring 203, and achieve precise reception and flipping of metal products, in conjunction with the subsequent visual inspection of the reverse side of the metal products.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated transfer device for metal product processing involves starting a first motor 5 to control the intermittent rotation of a flipping ring 203 while the transfer belt 1 is transporting the metal product. When the metal product is transported to the aligned flipping channel 205, the flipping ring 203 stops rotating, and the transfer belt 1 continues to rotate, pushing the metal product into the flipping channel 205. After being pushed in, the flipping ring 203 is driven to rotate again. This process is repeated, with the transfer belt 1 continuously pushing the metal product into the various flipping slots 204 in the flipping ring 203. Subsequently, after the metal product enters the flipping channel 205 and rotates 180 degrees, the reverse side of the metal product can be flipped to face upwards, facilitating subsequent visual inspection of the reverse side of the metal product.
[0032] Understandably, before metal products enter the flipping inspection assembly, staff complete a visual inspection of the front of the metal products, removing visually defective products from transport belt 1. Visually acceptable products are then flipped via flipping ring 203, with the reverse side facing up, and continue moving along transport belt 1. Before packaging, a visual inspection of the back of the metal products is required, removing visually defective products from transport belt 1, while visually acceptable products continue moving to the right along transport belt 1 until they fall into the packaging box. However, in reality, the process of the metal product entering the packaging box via transport belt 1 generally involves the right side of the metal product first detaching from transport belt 1 and tilting downwards due to gravity, followed by the left side completely detaching from transport belt 1 and falling into the packaging box. During this process, the right side of the metal product contacts the packaging box first, and the continued rotation of transport belt 1 pushes the metal product to the right, causing the right side of the metal product to be squeezed and potentially deformed. Furthermore, after the left side of the metal product detaches from transport belt 1, it falls directly, which can also cause the metal product to be impacted. All of these situations can result in damage to the metal products during packaging.
[0033] Therefore, this embodiment adopts the same basic design as the flip-over inspection component, specifically:
[0034] The flip-and-place assembly is located on the right side of the transfer belt 1. A second mounting bracket 301 is provided on the outer side of the transfer belt 1. The second mounting bracket 301 is also symmetrically arranged. A second connecting rod 302 is rotatably connected between the upper parts of the second mounting bracket 301. Transfer rings 303 are symmetrically arranged on the second connecting rod 302. The transfer rings 303 have multiple transfer grooves 304. A transfer channel 305 is formed between two transfer grooves 304 on the same vertical side. The difference is that in this embodiment, only half of the transfer ring 303 is located on the transfer belt 1. Corresponding to its position, a second fixing bracket 6 is provided on the rear side of the second mounting bracket 301. A second motor 7 is provided on the top of the second fixing bracket 6. The output shaft of the second motor 7 is connected to the second connecting rod 302.
[0035] Specifically, the second motor 7 drives the second connecting rod 302 to drive the transfer ring 303 to rotate intermittently, receiving the visually inspected OK product on the left side, and then driving the OK product to rotate. After rotating 180°, the entire metal product is no longer above the transfer belt 1. That is, the packaging and transfer in this embodiment does not require the support of the transfer belt 1. It is only necessary to place a packing box below the metal product after it has rotated 180° and is horizontally suspended above the ground, and then vertically put the metal product into the packing box.
[0036] Furthermore, the second connecting rod 302 is hollow, and multiple sliding grooves 8 are opened on its front and rear sides, so that the transfer rings 303 on both sides can move back and forth under the guidance of the sliding grooves 8; at the same time, a double-headed telescopic rod 9 is installed in the second connecting rod 302, and locking rings 10 are connected to both the front and rear sides of the double-headed telescopic rod 9, that is, after the double-headed telescopic rod 9 is operated, it can drive the locking rings 10 to move inward or outward simultaneously; wherein, the locking ring 10 is specifically designed as a circular ring 101 with multiple first locking blocks 102 and second locking blocks 103 connected to its outer side. 101 is used to install on the double-headed telescopic rod 9. The shape, number and distribution of the first locking block 102 and the second locking block 103 are all matched with the slide groove 8. That is, after the double-headed telescopic rod 9 is operated, it can drive the locking ring 10 to move inward or outward simultaneously in the slide groove 8. In this way, as long as the transfer ring 303 is placed between the first locking block 102 and the second locking block 103, and the distance between the two is only greater than the thickness of the transfer ring 303, the operation of the double-headed telescopic rod 9 can drive the locking ring 10 to move inward or outward simultaneously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing of the transfer ring 303.
[0037] More specifically, in the initial state, the transfer ring 303 is located at the innermost side of the slide 8. At this time, the transfer channel 305 is smaller than the width of the metal product, which is used to receive and transfer the metal product. When the metal product rotates 180° on the transfer ring 303, it can push the transfer ring 303 to move outward until it moves to the outermost layer of the slide 8. At this time, the transfer channel 305 is larger than the width of the metal product and no longer carries the metal product. The metal product will then fall naturally into the packaging box, completing stable transfer and packaging.
