[0002] In modern manufacturing, product production processes are often divided into multiple stages, each potentially requiring different equipment to complete specific tasks. In such cases, two independent front-end and back-end machines are used to handle different stages of the same product. Because the product is processed in different directions in the front-end and back-end machines, a steering device is needed to adjust the product's orientation to accommodate different processing requirements. However, not all product types require this steering, necessitating that the steering device be portable, allowing for quick installation and use when needed, and easy removal or storage when not in use. This flexibility is crucial for improving the adaptability and efficiency of the production line, especially when dealing with the production of diverse products. Therefore, developing a portable steering device that can be installed and used as needed has become a key technological requirement for improving production line flexibility and reducing equipment idle time.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 A portable automatic flipping device includes a fixed plate and grippers. The fixed plate is L-shaped with uniform thickness and several parallel U-shaped grooves on both sides. A rotary cylinder is provided on the fixed plate. A rotary shaft is provided on the rotary cylinder, and grippers are connected to the rotary shaft via connectors. The grippers have a stepped cross-section and square gripping surfaces, which are respectively provided on both sides of the gripper cylinder. The grippers are provided with several piston rods, which are staggered.

[0025] This portable automatic tilting device, with its compact L-shaped mounting plate and multifunctional U-shaped groove, provides a stable and flexible working platform. The uniform thickness L-shaped structure of the mounting plate not only enhances overall rigidity but also saves space, allowing the device to adapt to various confined working environments. The parallel design of the U-shaped groove provides multiple connection points on both sides of the mounting plate, thereby increasing the device's adaptability and flexibility to meet the needs of different working conditions.

[0026] The rotary cylinder provides powerful rotational force, ensuring precise flipping of the grippers. The connection between the rotating shaft and the grippers further guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the operation. The stepped cross-section and square clamping surface design of the grippers allow them to adapt to objects of different sizes and shapes, enhancing clamping stability and safety.

[0027] The staggered arrangement of the piston rods inside the grippers not only improves operating efficiency but also helps to distribute force, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the device. This design also reduces interference between the piston rods, ensuring smooth gripper movement and improving stability and reliability during operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the U-shaped groove design of the fixing plate and the stepped structure of the grippers simplify maintenance and inspection, reducing maintenance costs. The device's high load capacity and space-saving design make it ideal for space-constrained environments. Overall, this portable automatic tilting device, with its unique design, offers stability, flexibility, precise control, and efficient operation, while simplifying maintenance and increasing load capacity and service life.

[0029] The rotary cylinder is a cuboid with an annular component on the side connected to the fixed plate. A coupling connects the rotary cylinder to the rotating shaft, which passes through the coupling. This provides additional stability, a more even force distribution, and reduces wear and noise caused by localized stress concentration. The annular component also increases installation convenience, making it easier to connect the rotary cylinder to the fixed plate or other components, while also improving space utilization and making the entire device more compact.

[0030] Furthermore, a coupling is installed inside the rotary cylinder, allowing the rotating shaft to pass through the coupling and connect to the rotary cylinder. This configuration significantly improves transmission efficiency and stability. The coupling acts as a buffer and vibration damper, absorbing and reducing vibrations generated during power transmission, thereby protecting the rotating body from overload damage. In addition, the coupling design allows for compensation for axial misalignment, meaning that stable transmission performance can be maintained even in the face of installation errors or thermal expansion during operation.

[0031] This design also simplifies the commissioning and maintenance process, improving system reliability and lifespan. The presence of the coupling makes shaft alignment easier, reducing installation adjustments and maintenance complexity. Overall, this design, through its unique structure and the application of the coupling, achieves improvements in structural stability, transmission efficiency, space saving, system accuracy, and ease of operation, thereby significantly enhancing production efficiency and adaptability.

[0032] The guide shaft seat has a T-shaped cross-section. Several holes are provided on both sides of the T-shape to connect with the gripper cylinder. A round hole matching the rotating shaft is provided on the lower side of the T-shape, and the rotating shaft passes through the guide shaft seat.

[0033] The T-shaped guide shaft seat has several holes on both sides, which connect to the gripper cylinder, making the installation and adjustment of the entire device much simpler and faster. This design allows for quick positioning and fixing of the gripper cylinder without disassembling the entire system, greatly reducing the time and labor intensity of mechanical assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, the lower side of the T-shaped guide shaft seat is provided with a circular hole that matches the rotating shaft. This design allows the rotating shaft to pass directly through the guide shaft seat, providing a stable and precise support. This support method not only enhances the stability of the entire structure but also helps reduce wear caused by shaft misalignment or vibration, extending the service life of mechanical components. In addition, the circular hole design also makes the alignment of the rotating shaft more precise, which is crucial for ensuring the high-precision operation of mechanical equipment.

[0035] The design of the T-type guide shaft also takes space utilization into account. In many industrial applications, space is a precious resource, and the T-type guide shaft can be installed and used even in situations with limited surrounding space, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited front and rear space. This design not only saves valuable space but also improves the compactness of the entire device, allowing for the design of smaller machinery suitable for more confined working environments.

[0036] Furthermore, the durability and economy of the T-type guide shaft seat are also significant advantages. The round-hole shaft type synchronous pulley, due to its simple structure and mature manufacturing process, not only reduces production costs but also simplifies the production process. This design reduces material waste, improves production efficiency, and also makes the product more durable, capable of withstanding long-term high-intensity work.

[0037] In summary, the T-type guide shaft seat design, through its unique structure and function, offers numerous benefits, including ease of installation, structural stability, high space utilization, durability, and economy. This design makes the assembly of mechanical equipment more efficient, its operation more stable, while also reducing maintenance costs and improving overall economic benefits.

[0038] The U-shaped groove on the underside of the fixing plate contacts the bottom edge, while the U-shaped groove on the right side is located in the middle.

[0039] The U-shaped groove design on the underside of the mounting plate, contacting the bottom edge, provides a robust connection—a crucial design element in mechanical structures. The geometry of the U-shaped groove evenly distributes the load, enhancing the overall stability and durability of the structure. This design not only withstands heavy loads but also maintains performance in harsh working environments, such as high humidity or corrosive conditions, thanks to the excellent corrosion resistance of the U-shaped groove material and its surface treatment technology. This layout allows the mounting plate to provide installation space for other components while maintaining structural strength. The U-shaped groove in the middle allows for more flexible assembly line design, easily adapting to different installation requirements, both in width and length. This design also helps reduce material usage, thereby lowering costs while maintaining the overall structural strength.

[0040] The practicality and aesthetics of U-shaped channels are also reasons for their popularity. They can be customized in different colors and materials to meet the needs of various environments, which not only enhances the appearance of industrial equipment but also strengthens its harmony with its surroundings. Furthermore, the clean lines and modern design of U-shaped channels make them an ideal choice for many modern industrial and commercial spaces.

[0041] Cost-effectiveness is another significant advantage of U-channels. Their simple structure and relatively low manufacturing cost make them a cost-effective solution. Furthermore, their lightweight design reduces material usage, further lowering costs, while also reducing the overall weight of the structure, which is particularly important in applications requiring reduced load.

[0042] Finally, the corrosion resistance and durability of the U-shaped channel ensure its performance during long-term operation, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. This design not only improves equipment reliability but also reduces operating costs, making the U-shaped channel an indispensable component in many engineering projects. In summary, the U-shaped channel design on the underside of the fixed plate, with its structural stability, ease of installation, aesthetic appeal, practicality, cost-effectiveness, and durability, has become an ideal choice for various engineering applications.
