Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a lifting and flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With societal progress and development, the level of automation in production is constantly improving. As we all know, a product is assembled from multiple parts. In actual production processes, to accelerate production efficiency, companies more or less introduce product assembly equipment for processing. Currently, some products require the application of different auxiliary materials to their surfaces or need to be sent to the next workstation for processing on the other side. When applying auxiliary materials or facilitating processing at the next workstation, a product flipping module is needed for loading and unloading. Existing product flipping modules typically use a motor-driven flipping rod to flip the product, while the clamping structure during the flipping process is usually manually adjusted using installation tools (such as wrenches). However, this method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also cannot meet the flipping needs of products of different sizes, reducing production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new device to meet the requirements of more efficient production. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] The preferred embodiment of the lifting and flipping mechanism of this utility model, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the mechanism includes a longitudinally rotating frame 10, a rotation drive module 20 for driving the longitudinal rotation of the frame 10, and a lifting module 30 located below the frame 10. The frame 10 has two opposite sidewalls respectively provided with a carrier fixing position and a clamping module 40 for clamping and fixing the carrier 200 at the carrier fixing position. The clamping module 40 includes two gripper assemblies 41 arranged side-by-side along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the frame 10, and a clamping drive assembly 42 for driving the two gripper assemblies 41 to reciprocate relative to each other. The frame 10 is located between the two gripper assemblies 41. The rotating frame 10 is also provided with a guide component 50 to guide the gripper assembly 41 to ensure the stability of the two gripper assemblies 41. The gripping drive component 42 can be a finger cylinder, or two parallel and reverse-driven ordinary cylinders or cylinder modules, and different driving methods can be adopted according to actual needs. The rotation drive module 20 can be directly driven by a motor or a rotary cylinder. Preferably, the gripping drive component 42 of this solution is a finger cylinder, and the rotation drive module 20 is a servo motor.

[0027] During processing, the carrier can be gripped or released by the cooperation of the two gripper assemblies 41 and the gripping drive assembly 42. The workpiece on the carrier can be quickly flipped and switched by the cooperation of the rotating frame 10 and the rotating drive module 20, which can facilitate the next processing step. Moreover, compared with the traditional method that requires manual intervention, the rotating drive module 20 has a fast operation speed and high stability, which can speed up the production progress, save manufacturing time, and improve production efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment, the gripper assembly 41 includes a gripping plate 411 and a connecting plate 412 connecting the gripping plate 411 and the movable terminal of the gripping drive assembly 42. The connecting plate 412 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 10 through the guide assembly 50, and the rotating frame 10 is located between the two gripping plates 411. The space between the ends of the two gripping plates 411 that are away from the fixed position of the carrier forms a gripping cavity for gripping the carrier. Furthermore, the corresponding gripping cavity is provided on the opposite sidewalls of the two gripping plates 411. The stop protrusions 60 can cooperate with the positioning groove on the positioning carrier to further ensure the stability of gripping the carrier.

[0029] In this embodiment, multiple guide components 50 are provided and arranged along the rotation axis direction. Multiple connecting plates 412 on the same clamping plate 411 are provided for multiple guide components 50. Among them, the guide components 50 have guide rails 51 and sliders 52 slidably disposed on the guide rails 51. The guide rails 51 are perpendicular to the rotation axis. Specifically, two guide components 50 are provided and are parallel to each other. The synchronization of the two ends of the gripper assembly 41 can be ensured by the two guide components 50, and the clamping force applied to the two ends of the gripper assembly 41 when clamping the carrier is more balanced and stable.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rotating frame 10 includes a rotating mounting plate 11 and two fixing plates 12 disposed at both ends of the rotating mounting plate 11 along the rotation axis. Specifically, the rotating mounting plate 11 is rectangular, and the two fixing plates 12 are fixed perpendicularly to the rotating mounting plate 11 in the same direction, that is, both fixing plates 12 face the same side of the rotating mounting plate 11. Both fixing plates 12 are coaxially provided with rotating shafts 121, and the active terminal of the rotating drive module is connected to one of the two rotating shafts 121 through a transmission connection. Specifically, the transmission connection is achieved through a reducer 122 to ensure the smoothness of the rotating drive.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 121 is located at the end of the fixed plate 12 away from the rotating mounting plate 11, so that the initial position of the rotating mounting plate 11 is closer to the lifting module 30, making it easier to clamp the carrier on the lifting module 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mechanism also includes a limiting seat 70 for limiting the rotational position of the fixed plate 12. Both the limiting seat 70 and the fixed plate 12 are provided with abutment positions 80 that cooperate with each other. Specifically, the fixed plate 12 is also rectangular and one end face is semi-circular. The abutment position 80 is specifically located on one long side wall of the fixed plate 12. When the rotating mounting plate 11 is rotated into position, the two abutment positions 80 fit together and abut against each other, thereby keeping the rotating mounting plate 11 in a horizontal state, which facilitates the gripper assembly 41 to clamp the carrier.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting module 30 includes a horizontally arranged pallet 31 and a lifting drive unit 32 that drives the pallet 31 to move up and down. In the initial state, there is a space between the pallet 31 and the rotating frame 10 to facilitate material feeding, so as to install a conveyor belt or conveyor belt to send the carrier to the bottom of the rotating mounting plate 11, so that the lifting drive unit 32 can lift the pallet 31 upward and clamp it with the gripper assembly 41. The lifting drive unit 32 is specifically a common cylinder, but it can also be a vertical lead screw module or a motor rack module or other linear mechanism. In order to further ensure the stability of the lifting process, there are generally two lifting drive units arranged in a direction perpendicular to the motor shaft.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mechanism also includes a horizontally arranged fixed panel 90, a rotary drive module 20 and a rotary frame 10, both of which are disposed on the upper surface of the fixed panel 90. The fixed panel 90 is provided with an active window 91 for the rotary frame 10 to flip, and a lifting module 30 is disposed below the active window 91. Furthermore, support plates 100 are provided below both ends of the fixed panel 90, and the gap between the two support plates 100 is used for the passage of the carrier. Furthermore, for the stability of the lifting, guide rails for guiding the pallet 31 can be provided on the support plates.
