[0018] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0020] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a material tray flipping conveyor line, the flipping conveyor line includes a frame 1 set at the lower part; the frame 1 is a frame structure, and the upper two sides of the frame 1 are provided with curved plate chains 2 that can be driven by a drive system 3; the curved plate chains 2 are provided with clamping mechanisms 4 at intervals; and an empty material tray conveyor line 5 is provided at the lower part of the material tray flipping conveyor line.

[0022] The frame 1 is made of profiles, and a drive system 3 is installed on its upper part. The drive system 3 is generally a motor that drives the bent plate chain 2 to move. A clamping mechanism 4 is set on the bent plate chain 2 so that the pallet 45 can be stably clamped on it. When the frontmost material tray flips, the material falls. The clamping mechanism 4 automatically releases the pallet 45 at the bottom, so that the pallet 45 falls into the empty material tray conveyor line 5.

[0023] A material conveyor line 6 is also provided at the lower front end of the material tray tilting conveyor line. The material conveyor line 6 can be configured as a hoist structure, with the lowest end of the hoist installed at the end of the tilting conveyor line to catch the falling material and transport it away.

[0024] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 41 connected to the curved chain 2; a base 42 is connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 41 via a clamping rod 43; a spring is installed on the clamping rod 43 between the connecting plate 41 and the base 42; a support plate 46 is provided between the connecting plates 41, and a detachable tray 45 is provided between the upper part of the support plate 46 and the base 42; a bearing 47 is installed on the connecting plate 41; a fixing plate 48 is provided on the upper inner side of the frame 1 at the rotation point of the curved chain 2. Tray stops 44 are provided at intervals on the curved chain 2. The clamping mechanism 4 is located on both sides of the curved chain 2, facing each other.

[0025] The opposing clamping mechanism 4 automatically clamps and releases the pallet 45 through spring compression. Specifically, the connecting plate 41 is fixed to the curved chain 2 and moves with it. A spring-loaded pressure rod 43 is located at the front end of the connecting plate 41, with the spring's front end pressing against the base 42. When the connecting plate 41 passes through the area of ​​the fixed plate 48, it is compressed, and the spring on the pressure rod 43 provides a forward thrust, causing the base 42 to clamp the pallet 45. The pallet stop 44 further secures the pallet. When the pallet leaves the area of ​​the fixed plate 48, the base 42 is released, and the pallet 45 automatically falls onto the empty pallet conveyor line 5.

[0026] Working principle: The feeding machine and the moving roller conveyor transport the pallet 45 to the tilting conveyor. The rotating tilting conveyor drives the pallet 45 forward. When it reaches the tilting station, the clamping mechanism 4 clamps the pallet 45. The tilting conveyor will rotate the pallet 45 180 degrees at the position of the drive sprocket. The material will be flipped onto the lifting belt. The pallet will continue to rotate with the chain. After it turns to the unloading tray position, the clamping mechanism 4 will release the pallet 45. The pallet 45 falls on the empty material tray conveyor 5 and is sent out. The empty pallet 45 can be collected and placed manually or by the equipment.

[0027] A spring is installed at the clamping rod 43 of the clamping mechanism 4, and a bearing 47 is installed at the connecting plate 41. A pulley is installed on the bearing 47, which slides on the inner side of the frame 1. At the motor, there are two fixed plates 48 on both sides of the conveyor line. The clamping mechanism 4 is located at this position. Due to the thickness of the fixed plates 48, the bearing 47 is squeezed by the fixed plates 48, and the clamping rod 43 will squeeze inwards towards the conveyor line, thereby clamping the tray 45. After the tray is flipped and leaves the fixed plates 48, the clamping rod 43 will return to its original position under the action of the spring, thereby releasing the tray 45, realizing the action of clamping and releasing the tray. The released tray falls onto the empty tray conveyor line 5 and is transported away.

[0028] 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.
