[0035] The driving assembly 3 comprises a rotating drive source 31, a driving gear 32 and a driven gear 33. The rotating drive source 31 is installed on the frame. The output end of the rotating drive source 31 is connected with the driving gear 32. The driving gear 32 is in meshing connection with the driven gear 33 connected to any rotating shaft 123.

[0036] The angle sensing assembly 4 comprises a sensing block 41 and a position sensor 42. The sensing block 41 is connected vertically to the side surface of any rotating shaft 123 and rotates with the rotating shaft 123. The position sensor 42 is provided in plurality. The plurality of position sensors 42 are respectively connected to the support 11 close to the sensing block 41. The position sensors 42 are all located on the rotating path of the sensing block 41.

[0037] Specifically, the extension drive source 24 can drive the connecting sliding plate 22 and the clamping plate 23 thereon to slide in a direction perpendicular to the side plate 122, so as to clamp the gearbox placed on the bearing sliding plate 21 between the clamping plate 23 and one side plate 122.

The initial position sensor is a sensor for detecting whether the turnover frame 12 is in a horizontal position, and the rotating angle sensor is a sensor for detecting whether the turnover frame 12 drives the gearbox to rotate to a predetermined angle. According to actual needs, a plurality of position sensors 42 at different positions can be provided.

[0046] Further, the outer diameter of the driving gear 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven gear 33. It can be conceived that the cooperation of the small-diameter driving gear 32 and the large-diameter driven gear 33 can achieve the effect of speed reduction and torque increase, so that the driving assembly 3 can output sufficient torque.

[0047] Working process:

[0048] In the initial state, the turnover frame 12 is in a horizontal state, and the output shaft of the telescopic driving source 24 is in an elongated state.

[0050] After installation is completed, the rotary drive source 31 is started to drive the turnover frame 12 and the gearbox thereon to reset to a horizontal state, and then the connecting sliding plate 22 is reset to release the product and hoist out through the telescopic drive source 24.

[0051] During the above working process, whether the gearbox is clamped to the position is detected by the action sensor of the telescopic drive source 24 during the clamping process of the clamping assembly 2, and the overturning assembly 1 can only perform the overturning action after clamping to the position, so that the safety of production is ensured. Embodiment two

[0052] On the basis of embodiment one, a plurality of first fastening holes can be formed in the clamping plate 23 and the side plate 122 for clamping the product, and a plurality of second fastening holes corresponding to the first fastening holes can be formed in the two second protective plates 29, when the telescopic drive source 24 drives the clamping plate 23 to clamp the gearbox between the clamping plate 23 and the side plate 122, the gearbox can be fixed again through the coaxial first fastening holes and the second fastening holes and the fastening pieces, so that the stability of the gearbox is further improved and the safety of the overturning process is ensured. Embodiment three

[0053] The utility model discloses still disclose a production line, including the turnover device of embodiment one.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiment is only an example for clearly illustrating, and is not the limitation of the embodiment. For ordinary skilled in the art, on the basis of the above description, other different forms of changes or changes can be made. Here, it is unnecessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments.
