Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blister tray production technology, specifically a flipping mechanism for blister tray production. Background Technology

[0002] A thermoforming tray is a plastic product made using a thermoforming process, primarily used for packaging, transporting, and displaying goods. The thermoforming process involves heating and softening thermoplastic sheets, then shaping them using a mold. Thermoformed trays are widely used in industries such as electronics, automotive, food, and medical, and are popular due to their lightweight, low cost, and good shock absorption.

[0003] On the blister tray production line, it is necessary to adjust the correct moving direction of the manufactured blister trays, and change the direction or posture of the trays during subsequent packaging, inspection and stacking. However, most of the existing production processes rely on manual flipping and conversion, which has a low degree of mechanization and may also lead to incomplete flipping. Therefore, we propose a flipping mechanism for blister tray production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping mechanism for the production of blister trays, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flipping mechanism for producing blister trays, comprising a base and a clamping mechanism. A vertical plate is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the vertical position of the clamping mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate. A first mounting seat is fixedly installed on one side of the height adjustment mechanism, and a transfer mechanism for flipping the clamping mechanism is fixedly installed on the first mounting seat. A clamping mechanism for clamping and fixing the blister tray is fixedly installed on one side of the transfer mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes a slide rail, a slider, a second mounting base, a mounting plate, and a first threaded rod. Two sets of slide rails are fixedly installed on one side of the upright plate. The second mounting base is slidably connected to the slide rails via the slider. Two sets of mounting plates are fixedly installed on one side of the upright plate. The first threaded rod is rotatably connected to the two sets of mounting plates. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod. One side of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the second mounting base. A turntable is fixedly installed on the top of the first threaded rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism includes a drive motor, a transfer disk, and adjustment holes. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the first mounting base, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the transfer disk. Multiple sets of adjustment holes are formed through the transfer disk.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, a clamping frame, a second threaded rod, and a locking nut. Two sets of second threaded rods are fixedly installed on one side of the clamping cylinder and at the position corresponding to the adjustment hole. The second threaded rods are inserted into the adjustment hole. The outer surface of the second threaded rod is threaded with a locking nut. One side of the locking nut is in contact with the transfer plate. Two sets of clamping frames are fixedly installed at the output end of the clamping cylinder through multiple sets of fixing screws.

[0009] Furthermore, two sets of fixing blocks are fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting base, and a ball bearing is rotatably connected to one side of the fixing block, with one side of the ball bearing in contact with the transfer tray.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the base is fixedly connected to the back of the upright plate by a reinforcing plate made of rigid material.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The base and upright plate of the present invention can move the transfer mechanism and the clamping mechanism above the conveyor belt. Then, the height of the clamping mechanism can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism can adapt to the height of the blister tray.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a flipping mechanism for producing blister trays, including a base 1 and a clamping mechanism 6. A vertical plate 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The top of the base 1 and the back of the vertical plate 2 are fixedly connected by a reinforcing plate 23 made of rigid material. A height adjustment mechanism 3 that drives the clamping mechanism 6 to adjust its up and down position is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 2. A first mounting seat 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the height adjustment mechanism 3. A transfer mechanism 5 that flips the clamping mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the first mounting seat 4. A clamping mechanism 6 that clamps and fixes the blister tray is fixedly installed on one side of the transfer mechanism 5.

[0018] The base 1 and the upright plate 2 can move the transfer mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 above the blister tray conveyor belt. Then, the height of the clamping mechanism 6 can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism 3 so that the clamping mechanism 6 can adapt to the height of the blister tray. Then, the clamping mechanism 6 can complete the clamping of the blister tray. After the clamping is completed, the transfer mechanism 5 can be used to flip the blister tray. This flipping mechanism has a high degree of mechanization and wider adaptability.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 The height adjustment mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 7, a slider 8, a second mounting base 9, a mounting plate 10, and a first threaded rod 11. Two sets of slide rails 7 are fixedly installed on one side of the upright plate 2. The second mounting base 9 is slidably connected to the slide rail 7 via the slider 8. Two sets of mounting plates 10 are fixedly installed on one side of the upright plate 2. The first threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the two sets of mounting plates 10. A threaded sleeve 12 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 11. One side of the threaded sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the second mounting base 9. A turntable 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the first threaded rod 11.

[0020] The height of the clamping mechanism 6 is adjusted according to the height of the blister tray to be clamped. First, the turntable 13 is rotated, which drives the first threaded rod 11 to rotate. Then, the rotating first threaded rod 11 can drive the threaded sleeve 12 and the second mounting seat 9 to move up and down. When the second mounting seat 9 moves up and down, it can be limited by the slide rail 7 and the slider 8. This ensures that the second mounting seat 9 can drive the transfer mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 to move up and down stably, so as to adapt to blister trays of different heights.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transfer mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 14, a transfer disk 15, and adjustment holes 16. The drive motor 14 is fixedly installed on the first mounting base 4. The output end of the drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the transfer disk 15. Multiple sets of adjustment holes 16 are formed through the transfer disk 15. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a clamping cylinder 17, a clamping frame 18, a second threaded rod 19, and a locking nut 20. Two sets of second threaded rods 19 are fixedly installed on one side of the clamping cylinder 17 and at the position corresponding to the adjustment holes 16. The second threaded rods 19 are inserted into the adjustment holes 16. The outer surface of the second threaded rods 19 is threadedly connected to the locking nut 20. One side of the locking nut 20 is in contact with the transfer disk 15. Two sets of clamping frames 18 are fixedly installed on the output end of the clamping cylinder 17 through multiple sets of fixing screws.

[0022] The position of the clamping cylinder 17 on one side of the transfer plate 15 is adjusted according to the position of the blister tray being flipped and transferred. First, the second threaded rod 19 on one side of the clamping cylinder 17 is inserted into the corresponding adjustment hole 16. Then, the second threaded rod 19 is locked in the adjustment hole 16 using the locking nut 20. This completes the installation and fixation of the drive cylinder 17. Then, the drive cylinder 17 drives the two sets of clamping frames 18 to operate, and the clamping frames 18 can be used to clamp and fix the blister tray. Then, the drive motor 14 operates, and the drive motor 14 can drive the transfer plate 15 to rotate. This allows the clamping mechanism 6 and the blister tray clamped on the clamping mechanism 6 to be flipped 180° and transferred to the next station.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two sets of fixing blocks 21 are fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting base 4. A ball bearing 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixing block 21, and one side of the ball bearing 22 is in contact with the transfer plate 15.

[0024] When the drive motor 14 drives the transfer plate 15 to rotate, it can be limited by the fixed block 21 and the ball 22, so as to prevent the transfer plate 15 from deviating when it drives the clamping mechanism 6 to flip.

[0025] In use, firstly, the base 1 and upright plate 2 move the transfer mechanism 5 and clamping mechanism 6 above the blister tray conveyor belt. Then, the height adjustment mechanism 3 adjusts the vertical height of the clamping mechanism 6 to adapt to the vertical height of the blister tray. The clamping mechanism 6 then completes the clamping of the blister tray. After clamping, the transfer mechanism 5 flips the blister tray. This flipping mechanism has a high degree of mechanization and wider adaptability. The vertical height of the clamping mechanism 6 is adjusted according to the height of the blister tray to be clamped. First, the turntable 13 is rotated, which drives the first threaded rod 11 to rotate. The rotating first threaded rod 11 then drives the threaded sleeve 12 and the second mounting base 9 to move vertically. The second mounting base 9 is limited by the slide rail 7 and the slider 8 during vertical movement. The second mounting base 9 can drive the transfer mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 to move stably up and down, thus adapting to blister trays of different heights. The position of the clamping cylinder 17 on one side of the transfer plate 15 is adjusted according to the position of the blister tray being flipped and transferred. First, the second threaded rod 19 on one side of the clamping cylinder 17 is inserted into the corresponding adjustment hole 16. Then, the second threaded rod 19 is locked in the adjustment hole 16 using the locking nut 20. This completes the installation and fixation of the drive cylinder 17. Then, the drive cylinder 17 drives the two sets of clamping frames 18 to operate, and the clamping frames 18 can be used to clamp and fix the blister tray. Then, the drive motor 14 operates, and the drive motor 14 can drive the transfer plate 15 to rotate. This allows the clamping mechanism 6 and the blister tray clamped on the clamping mechanism 6 to be flipped 180° and transferred to the next station.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
