[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a flipping device with a self-locking function includes a movable base 1, four fixed frames 2, two support plates 3, a flipping frame 4, two rotating shafts 5, four universal wheels 6, two clamps 9, a knurled handwheel 13, a mounting mechanism, and a pin assembly.
[0018] Four casters 6 are correspondingly arranged around the bottom of the movable base 1. Four fixed brackets 2 are correspondingly fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the movable base 1. Two support plates 3 are correspondingly fixedly connected to the four fixed brackets 2, and the two support plates 3 are arranged in the front-to-back direction. Two rotating shafts 5 are arranged on the left and right sides of the flipping frame 4. Two clamps 9 are arranged on the two support plates 3. The two rotating shafts 5 and the two clamps 9 are correspondingly connected. The flipping frame 4 is rotatably mounted on the two support plates 3 through the two rotating shafts 5 and the two clamps 9. The knurled... Handwheel 13 is mounted on the left rotating shaft 5. A perforated disc 10 is fixedly connected to the left rotating shaft 5. The perforated disc 10 can rotate with the tilting frame 4. A perforated sector disc 11 is fixedly mounted on the left support plate 3 by bolts. The perforated disc 10 and the perforated sector disc 11 are concentric. The holes on the perforated disc 10 and the perforated sector disc 11 are positioning holes. The perforated disc 10 has a full circle, and the perforated sector disc 11 has a half circle. The positioning holes are distributed every 10°.
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the movable base 1 is provided with four buckles 7 and four anchor bolts 8 on its four sides, and the four anchor bolts 8 are installed on the four sides of the movable base 1 through the buckles 7.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, the pin assembly includes an anti-loss ring 19 disposed on the fixing frame 2, an anti-loss rope 18 connected to the anti-loss ring 19, and a flat-head pin 17 connected to the anti-loss rope 18. The flat-head pin 17 is connected to the anti-loss ring 19 on the fixture through the anti-loss rope 18 to prevent loss when not in use, and also to facilitate quick retrieval when in use.
[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, the flat-head pin 17 is provided with threads on the outside, and a locking nut 16 is fitted on the threads. When the flipping frame 4 is flipped to a suitable angle, the flat-head pin 17 can pass through the corresponding positioning holes on the perforated disc 10 and the perforated sector disc 11, and then the locking nut 16 can be used to lock the flipping frame 4 after it is flipped.

The flipping frame 4 is provided with a fixing threaded hole 15 on the side on the same side as the two dovetail grooves 20. The top of the base plate 12 is fixed in position by bolts passing through the fixing threaded hole 15.
[0023] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0024] In use, first adjust the four anchor bolts 8 to contact the ground, then tighten the anchor bolts 8. The auxiliary power unit is then fixed to the tilting frame 4 by fixing it to the four support arms 14. During repair and assembly, the tilting frame 4 is adjusted by rotating the knurled handwheel 13. After selecting a suitable angle, a flat-head pin 17 with external threads is inserted into the holes of the perforated disc 10 and the perforated sector disc 11. Then, the locking nut 16 is screwed into the tail of the flat-head pin 17 to fix the position. For auxiliary power units of different shapes, the four support arms 14 can be removed from the four base plates 12 and replaced with the corresponding four support arms 14. For different models of auxiliary power units, installation can be achieved by adjusting the position of the four support arms 14. During adjustment: unscrew the bolts in the fixing threaded holes 15, allowing the base plate 12 to slide freely along the dovetail groove 20. After moving to the appropriate position, the bolts are then screwed back into the fixing threaded holes 15.
