[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0040] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a product flipping mechanism, including:

[0041] First gripping component 1 for gripping product 8;

[0042] The second gripping component 2 is used to grip product 8;

[0043] The clamp 3 is provided with a bearing position 31 for bearing the product 8;

[0044] The multi-axis motion component 4 is used to drive the first gripping component 1 to grip the product 8 at the bearing position 31 and place it on the second gripping component 2. The first gripping component 1 is connected to the multi-axis motion component 4.

[0045] The flipping motion assembly 5 is used to drive the second gripping assembly 2 to flip and place the product 8 at the bearing position 31. The second gripping assembly 2 is connected to the flipping motion assembly 5. Specifically, the multi-axis motion assembly 4 can be a two-axis or three-axis motion structure, or a multi-axis robotic arm.

[0046] In this mechanism, the first gripping component 1 is driven by the multi-axis motion component 4 to grip the product 8 located at the bearing position 31 of the fixture 3. Then, the first gripping component 1 is driven by the multi-axis motion component 4 to place the gripped product 8 on the second gripping component 2, which then grips it. Finally, the second gripping component 2 is rotated by the flipping motion component 5, and the rotated product 8 is placed on the bearing position 31 of the fixture 3, thus completing the automatic rotation process of the product 8 at the bearing position 31 of the fixture 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mechanism further includes a base 6 and a support member 7. The clamp 3 and the flipping motion component 5 are all disposed on the support member 7. The base 6 is provided with an X-axis motion structure 61 for driving the support member 7 to move in the X-axis direction. The support member 7 is disposed on the X-axis motion structure 61. The multi-axis motion component 4 includes a Y-axis motion structure 41 and a Z-axis motion structure 42. The Z-axis motion structure 42 is disposed on the Y-axis motion structure 41. The first gripping component 1 is disposed on the Z-axis motion structure 42. The first gripping component 1 is located above the second gripping component 2 and the clamp 3, so as to correspond to the positions of the second gripping component 2 and the support position 31.

[0048] When the mechanism is working, firstly, the carrier 7 is driven by the X-axis motion structure 61 to move the clamp 3 to below the first gripping component 1. At this time, the first gripping component 1 is adjusted to align with the carrier position 31 under the drive of the Y-axis motion structure 41. Then, the first gripping component 1 is driven to descend by the Z-axis motion structure 42 to grip the product 8 located on the carrier position 31.

[0049] Then, the X-axis motion structure 61 drives the carrier 7 to move the second gripping component 2 to a position below the first gripping component 1. At this time, the first gripping component 1, driven by the Y-axis motion structure 41 and the Z-axis motion structure 42, places the product 8 it grips onto the second gripping component 2, which then grips it.

[0050] Finally, the flipping motion component 5 drives the second gripping component 2 to flip, and the flipped product 8 is placed on the bearing position 31 of the fixture 3 to complete the automatic flipping process of the product 8 in the bearing position 31 of the fixture 3.

[0051] Specifically, the aforementioned X-axis motion structure 61, Y-axis motion structure 41, and Z-axis motion structure 42 can all be existing structures that can respectively drive the corresponding structures to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions. For example, X-axis motion structure 61 and Y-axis motion structure 41 can be existing structures such as motor lead screws, or they can be linear motors, to drive the corresponding structures to move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively. Z-axis motion structure 42 can be achieved by using an existing cylinder structure to drive the corresponding structure to move in the Z-axis direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, the carrier 7 is provided with a positioning groove 71 that is adapted to the clamp 3, and the clamp 3 is detachably disposed in the positioning groove 71. The detachable arrangement of the clamp 3 and the carrier 7 makes it convenient for workers to directly install the clamp 3 loaded with the product 8 onto the carrier 7, without having to manually place the product 8 onto the clamp 3, thus further improving efficiency; and the positioning groove 71 allows the clamp 3 to be positioned more accurately when placed.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first gripping component 1 includes a first gripping body 11 and at least one first vacuum nozzle 12. The first vacuum nozzle 12 is disposed on the first gripping body 11, and the first gripping body 11 is connected to the multi-axis motion component 4.

[0056] A flipping drive structure 51 for controlling the second gripping component 2 to flip over the first gripping component 1;

[0057] A lifting drive structure 52 for controlling the second gripping component 2 to move up and down above the first gripping component 1;

[0058] The lifting drive structure 52 is driven to connect with the flipping drive structure 51, and the flipping drive structure 51 is driven to connect with the second gripping component 2. The flipping drive structure 51 drives the second gripping component 2 to flip 180°. At this point, the flipped second gripping component 2 is positioned above the clamp 3, aligned with the bearing position 31 of the clamp 3. Then, the lifting drive structure 52 drives the flipping drive structure 51 to descend, thereby lowering the second gripping component 2 and loading the flipped product 8 onto the bearing position 31. Alternatively, the flipping drive structure 51 can be driven to connect with the lifting drive structure 52, and the lifting drive structure 52 can be driven to connect with the second gripping component 2. The flipping drive structure 51 drives the lifting drive structure 52 to flip, simultaneously causing the second gripping component 2 located at the lifting drive structure 52 to flip 180° and align with the bearing position 31 of the clamp 3. The lifting drive structure 52 then drives the second gripping component 2 to descend, loading the flipped product 8 onto the bearing position 31.

[0059] In this embodiment, the lifting drive structure 52 includes a lifting body 521 and a lifting cylinder 522. Both the lifting body 521 and the lifting cylinder 522 are fixed on the support member 7. The tilting drive structure 51 is movably mounted on the lifting body 521 via a slide rail slider structure, and the lifting cylinder 522 is drivenly connected to the tilting drive structure 51. Specifically, there are two sets of lifting cylinders 522, located on the left and right sides of the lifting body 521 respectively, and the two sets of lifting cylinders 522 are drivenly connected to both sides of the tilting drive structure 51 respectively.
