Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to an automated production line that can be flipped multiple times. Background Technology
[0002] The pre-assembly process of the electric conveyor uses a fixed workbench assembly method, with manual handling for transfer between workstations. Each product in the pre-assembly process weighs 40-60 kg, resulting in high labor intensity and low worker efficiency. Furthermore, the pre-assembly process requires two manual flipping operations, each requiring two strong workers to lift and flip the product. This is extremely labor-intensive, inefficient, and unsafe, leading to very high staff turnover. Therefore, an automated production line is needed to replace manual flipping and improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated production line that can be flipped multiple times.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An automated production line capable of multiple flipping includes multiple conveyor frames and at least two flipping mechanisms. The conveyor frames are connected sequentially from end to end to form a conveyor line for transporting products. One flipping mechanism is located at the middle conveyor frame, and the other is located at the rear conveyor frame. Each flipping mechanism includes a support, a front flipping frame, a rear flipping frame, a front cylinder, and a rear cylinder. The support has a lower layer. The front and rear flipping frames are rotatably mounted on the top of the support via upper rotating seats. The front and rear cylinders are rotatably mounted on the lower layer via lower rotating seats. The output of the front cylinder is connected to the front flipping frame to control its flipping on the support. The output of the rear cylinder is connected to the rear flipping frame to control its flipping on the support. Products are conveyed to the front flipping frame of the flipping mechanism via the conveyor frames. The front cylinder pulls the front flipping frame to flip the product 90 degrees and places it into the rear flipping frame. The rear cylinder pulls the rear flipping frame to flatten the product, completing one flipping operation. A second flipping operation is then performed using the other flipping mechanism.
[0006] Furthermore, the conveyor frame includes a base frame, two side frames, four conveyor wheels, and two guide rails. The base frame is provided with four slide rails and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The two side frames are slidably mounted on the slide rails by sliders. The distance between the two side frames is adjusted by sliding the sliders. The left and right ends of the side frames are provided with mounting parts. The two conveyor wheels are rotatably mounted on the two mounting parts. The guide rails are arranged between the two conveyor wheels. The two conveyor wheels are connected by a conveyor chain.
[0007] Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the side frames of each conveyor frame, the side frames of two adjacent conveyor frames are arranged one outside and one inside, so that the conveying direction of the side frames of each conveyor frame remains in the same straight line.
[0008] Furthermore, the bracket of the flipping mechanism is placed inside the base frame, the lower layer is located below the top layer of the bracket, and the output parts of the front cylinder and the rear cylinder are respectively rotatably mounted with rotating arms, which are installed with the corresponding front flipping frame and rear flipping frame through the rotating arms.
[0009] Furthermore, both the front and rear tilting frames consist of two L-shaped frames and a connecting rod. The two L-shaped frames are rotatably mounted on the support via an upper rotating seat and are connected by a connecting rod. The rotating arms of the front and rear cylinders are installed with the corresponding connecting rods.
[0010] Furthermore, the L-shaped frames of the front and rear flip frames are arranged opposite each other, and friction pads are provided on the contact surfaces of the L-shaped frames of the front and rear flip frames with the product.
[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with stops and push cylinders on both sides of the front flipping frame. When the product is conveyed to the flipping mechanism along the conveyor frame, the push cylinders push the stops to move and adjust their height, thereby assisting the flipping frame in flipping the product.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] This invention uses a conveyor frame to transport products, and then a flipping mechanism to flip the products, thus replacing manual operation and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example
[0023] Cooperate Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses an automated production line capable of multiple flips, including multiple conveyor frames 1 and at least two flipping mechanisms 2. The conveyor frames 1 are connected sequentially from beginning to end to form a conveyor line for transporting products. One flipping mechanism 2 is located at the middle section of the conveyor frame 1, and the other flipping mechanism 2 is located at the rearmost conveyor frame 1. Each flipping mechanism 2 includes a support 21, a front flipping frame 22, a rear flipping frame 23, a front cylinder 24, and a rear cylinder 25. The support 21 has a lower layer 26. The front flipping frame 22 and the rear flipping frame 23 are respectively rotatably mounted on the top of the support 21 via an upper rotating seat 27. The front cylinder 24 and the rear cylinder 25 are rotatably mounted on the lower layer 26 via the lower rotating seat 28. The output part of the front cylinder 24 is mounted with the front flipping frame 22 to control its flipping on the support 21. The output part of the rear cylinder 25 is mounted with the rear flipping frame 23 to control its flipping on the support 21. The product is conveyed to the front flipping frame 22 of the flipping mechanism 2 via the conveyor frame 1. The front cylinder 24 pulls the front flipping frame 22 to flip the product 90 degrees and then places it into the rear flipping frame 23. The rear cylinder 25 pulls the rear flipping frame 23 to flatten the product, completing one flipping operation. A second flipping operation is performed via another flipping mechanism 2.
[0024] The conveyor frame 1 includes a base frame 11, two side frames 12, four conveyor wheels 13, and two guide rails 14. The base frame 11 is provided with four slide rails 15 and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The two side frames 12 are slidably mounted on the slide rails 15 by sliders 16. The distance between the two side frames 12 is adjusted by sliding the sliders 16. The side frames 12 are provided with mounting parts at both ends. The mounting parts are provided with rotating holes and bearings and rotating shafts are installed inside. The two conveyor wheels 13 are rotatably mounted on the two mounting parts and mounted on the rotating shafts of the mounting parts. The guide rails 14 are arranged on the side frames 12 between the two conveyor wheels 13. The two conveyor wheels 13 are connected by a conveyor chain. The conveyor chain passes through the guide rails 14. The guide rails 14 and the side frames 12 support the products and the conveyor chain conveys the products.
[0025] The conveyor frame in this embodiment uses a non-powered line assembly that can be assembled like building blocks to adapt to the process requirements of different products. During operation, the product only needs to be manually pushed along the conveyor frame.
[0026] Each of the conveyor frames 1 can be adjusted so that the side frames 12 of two adjacent conveyor frames 1 are arranged one outside and one inside, so that the conveying direction of the side frames of each conveyor frame 1 is kept in the same straight line.
[0027] The bracket 21 of the flipping mechanism 2 is placed inside the base frame 11. The lower layer 26 is located below the top layer of the bracket 21. The output parts of the front cylinder 24 and the rear cylinder 25 are respectively rotatably mounted with rotating arms 29. The rotating arms 29 are installed with the corresponding front flipping frame 22 and rear flipping frame 23. One end of the rotating arm 29 is rotatably mounted with the front cylinder 24 / rear cylinder 25 through a rotating shaft with a matching rotating hole. The other end is fixedly connected to the front flipping frame 22 / rear flipping frame 23. By driving the rotating arm 29 to rotate, the front flipping frame 22 / rear flipping frame 23 is flipped.
[0028] Both the front tilting frame 22 and the rear tilting frame 23 are composed of two L-shaped frames and connecting rods. The two L-shaped frames are rotatably mounted on the bracket 21 via the upper rotating seat 27 and connected by the connecting rods. The rotating arms of the front cylinder 24 and the rear cylinder 25 are installed with the corresponding connecting rods.
[0029] The L-shaped frames of the front flip frame 22 and the rear flip frame 23 are arranged opposite to each other, and friction pads are provided on the contact surfaces of the L-shaped frames of the front flip frame 22 and the rear flip frame 23 with the product.
[0030] The support 21 is provided with a stop block and a push cylinder on both sides of the front flipping frame 22. When the product is conveyed to the flipping mechanism 2 along the conveyor frame 1, the push cylinder pushes the stop block to move and adjust its height, thereby assisting the flipping frame in flipping the product.
[0031] In this embodiment, the product is conveyed by the conveyor frame 1, and then the product is flipped by the flipping mechanism 2. The flipping mechanism 2 replaces manual operation for flipping the product, which improves production efficiency.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
