Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of warehousing and logistics, goods are generally placed on square pallets for convenient and quick handling and transportation. After the goods are moved, the empty pallets are collected into stacks and placed on the conveyor line for reuse. However, the existing flipping methods are all manual, which results in low pallet flipping efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pallet flipping mechanism for a production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pallet flipping mechanism for a production line, comprising a conveyor line for conveying pallets; a first clamping assembly is provided on one side of the conveyor line, and a second clamping assembly is provided on the other side of the conveyor line; the first clamping assembly includes a support frame and a movable frame slidably mounted on the support frame, the movable frame is provided with a pusher, and a flipping assembly is provided on the pusher; the flipping assembly includes a support base movably connected to the pusher, and a bracket is movably mounted on the support base, and a driving member is mounted on the bracket; the support base is also provided with a clamp, and the driving member causes the clamp to rotate on the support base.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the support frame is further provided with a lifting component, and the moving frame is moved up or down by the lifting component.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the movable frame is further provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding groove is adapted to and connected with the guide block provided on the support frame.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the driving component drives the clamp to rotate on the support base via a belt.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bracket is also provided with an installation cavity with open structures on both sides.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the side of the clamp facing the tray is also provided with a slot.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, anti-slip pads are provided on the opposing surfaces of the card slots.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above technical solution are as follows: Since the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are located on both sides of the conveyor line, the flat pushing parts on the two clamping assemblies can be used to make the flipping assembly approach and press against the pallet, thereby completing the clamping of the pallet; after the pallet is clamped, the driving part is used to make the chuck rotate, thus flipping the pallet located between the two clamping assemblies. Based on this, the device uses a mechanical structure to complete the flipping of the pallet, which can reduce the manual labor input and improve the flipping efficiency of the pallet. In particular, the active stroke of the working end of the flat pushing part allows the chuck to clamp pallets of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a pallet flipping mechanism for a production line, comprising a conveyor line 1 for conveying pallets 2; a first clamping component 3 is provided on one side of the conveyor line 1, and a second clamping component 4 is provided on the other side of the conveyor line 1; wherein the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 have the same structure.

[0020] The first clamping assembly 3 includes a support frame 30 and a movable frame 32 slidably mounted on the support frame 30. The movable frame 32 is provided with a flat-push member 33, and a flipping assembly 36 is provided on the flat-push member 33. Therefore, the flat-push member 33 can be used to move the flipping assembly 36 closer to or further away from the tray 2, allowing the flipping assembly 36 to contact trays 2 of different sizes. The flat-push member 33 is preferably a cylinder. For example, when the working end of the flat-push member 33 extends, it can clamp a smaller tray 2; when the working end shortens, it can clamp a larger tray 2.

[0021] The flipping assembly 36 includes a support base 311 movably connected to the pusher 33, and a bracket 39 is movably mounted on the support base 311, with a drive member 38 mounted on the bracket 39. The support base 311 also has a clamp 312, which is rotated on the support base 311 by the drive member 38. Therefore, when the clamp 312 is connected to the tray 2, the rotation of the clamp 312 by the drive member 38 achieves the flipping of the tray 2 on the conveyor line 1. Preferably, the drive member 38 is a servo motor, and the drive member 38 drives the clamp 312 to rotate on the support base 311 via a belt 310.

[0022] In summary, since the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 are located on both sides of the conveyor line, the flat pusher 33 on the two clamping components can be used to make the flipping component 36 approach and press against the tray 2, thereby completing the clamping of the tray 2; after the tray 2 is clamped, the drive component 38 is used to make the chuck 312 rotate, thus flipping the tray 2 located between the two clamping components.

[0023] Based on this, the device uses a mechanical structure to flip the pallet, which reduces manpower input and improves the efficiency of flipping the pallet. In particular, by utilizing the travel of the working end of the flat pusher 33, the chuck 312 can clamp pallets 2 of different sizes.

[0024] Furthermore, the support frame 30 is also equipped with a lifting component 31, which causes the movable frame 32 to move upward or downward; wherein, the lifting component 31 is preferably a cylinder. At the same time, due to the setting of the lifting component 31, the distance between the flipping component 36 and the conveyor line 1 can be adjusted, so that the pallet 2 can be flipped smoothly on the conveyor line 1. In particular, by adjusting the stroke of the working end of the lifting component 31, that is, by causing the working end of the lifting component 31 to extend upward, the flipping component 36 can flip larger pallets 2.

[0025] To ensure that the movable frame 32 moves smoothly and in a directional manner, the movable frame 32 is also provided with a sliding groove 35, and the sliding groove 35 is adapted to and connected with the guide block 34 provided on the support frame 30.

[0026] Based on the above solution, the bracket 39 is also provided with an installation cavity 37 with open structures on both sides. Therefore, when the pulley on the drive member 38 is located in the installation cavity 37, the installation cavity 37 can be used to isolate the pulley and belt 310 from direct contact with the outside, thereby ensuring that the drive member 38 can smoothly and reliably cause the chuck 312 to rotate.

[0027] Furthermore, since the side of the chuck 312 facing the tray 2 is provided with a slot 313, the slot 313 can be used to insert from the side of the tray 2 to complete the contact between the chuck 312 and the tray 2, so as to ensure that the lifting component 31 can reliably cause the tray 2 to rise and fall.

[0028] Furthermore, since anti-slip pads are provided on the opposing surfaces of the slots 313, and the anti-slip pads are made of rubber, the surface of the tray 2 can be reduced to prevent damage, while also reducing the slippage of the tray 2 during rotation.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
