[0003] Existing milling, drilling, and tapping lathes often require workers to disassemble and flip the lathes during machining, or require fully automated robotic arms to assist in flipping them. However, robotic arms are expensive to manufacture and maintain. To solve this technical problem, we need more practical and cost-effective flipping devices. Utility Model Content

[0021] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a flipping device for a vertical machining center, including a base 1, a fixture table 2 and a drilling mechanism 3. The fixture table 2 and the drilling mechanism 3 are both mounted on the base 1. The drilling mechanism 3 is located on one side of the fixture table 2. A machining table 4 is mounted on the fixture table 2. A flipping mechanism for flipping materials is mounted on the machining table 4. A calibration mechanism corresponding to the drilling mechanism 3 is also mounted on the machining table 4 after the materials are flipped.

[0024] Drilling mechanism 3 consists of a support and a drill bit, and also includes milling and tapping mechanisms;

[0025] The fixture table 2 is a common fixture that can fix the pad 16;

[0026] The flipping mechanism includes a gear 5, a rack 6, a pinion 7, and a mounting base 8. The rack 7 is mounted on the processing table 4, the rack 6 is connected to the gear 5, the mounting base 8 is mounted on the rack 6, and the gear 5 is connected to the rack 7. The processing table 4 is also connected to a drive mechanism for driving the gear 5 to rotate. When the drive mechanism drives the gear 5 to rotate on the rack 7, the mounting base 8 flips on the rack 6.

[0027] First, the material is installed on the mounting base 8, which is connected to the rack 6. The rack 6 is connected to the gear 5, and the gear 5 is connected to the rack 7. Thus, the gear 5 rolls on the rack 7, and the rack 6 can drive the mounting base 8 to rotate. In order to improve work efficiency, we use a drive mechanism to drive the rack 7 to rotate, and the rack 7 drives the gear 5 to rotate, thereby achieving the rotation of the mounting base 8.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a limiting member, which is installed on the processing table 4, and the rack 6 is rotatably connected to the limiting member;

[0029] The limiting component is used to limit the rack 6. Since the gear 5 is driven by the rack 7, the gear 5 must be limited in its rolling motion. Therefore, the rack 6, which can be connected to the gear 5, can be rotatably connected to the limiting component.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a limiting block 9, which is mounted on the processing table 4, and the rack 6 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 9.

[0031] The limiting block 9 is used to limit the rotation of the rack 6. The rack 6 rotates within the limiting block 9. To ensure the structural stability of the rack 6, a groove is provided in the limiting block 9. A bushing is sleeved on the rack 6. The bushing is located in the groove of the limiting block 9. This not only reduces the friction of rotation, but also limits the rack 6 to the groove through the bushing, thus achieving structural stability.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a pneumatic rod 10, which is mounted on the processing table 4. The output end of the pneumatic rod 10 is connected to the rack 7. When the pneumatic rod 10 drives the rack 7 to move along the horizontal direction of the processing table 4, the gear 5 rotates on the rack 7 and the rack 6 rotates within the limiting block 9.

[0033] It may also include a hydraulic cylinder and an electric push rod. As mentioned earlier, the drive mechanism drives the rack 7 to rotate the gear 5. The output end of the pneumatic rod 10 of the drive mechanism must be connected to the rack 7, and the direction of movement of the pneumatic rod 10 must be consistent with the direction of rotation of the gear 5. Only in this way can the movement of the rack 7 drive the gear 5 to rotate.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a movable component, which is mounted on the processing table 4, and the rack 7 is slidably connected to the movable component;

[0035] The movable part is to facilitate the sliding of the rack 7 and reduce friction.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the movable component includes a slide groove 11, which is disposed on the processing table 4, and the rack 7 is slidably connected to the slide groove 11.

[0037] It also includes a track, or slide 11, which must be installed on the processing table 4, and the direction in which the track or slide 11 is arranged is consistent with the direction of rotation of the gear 5.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a slide rail 12 is provided on the upper outer surface of the mounting base 8, and two abutments 13 are provided on each slide rail 12, with a cylinder 14 for pressing the material connected to the abutment 13.

[0039] The material is pressed against by two abutments 13 and then further pressed by a cylinder 14, which is used to limit the movement of the material. Figure 2 As can be seen, the stop block 13 has a manual limit structure with a pin or an automatic limit structure with an electric push rod for limiting the position;

[0040] The stop block 13, cylinder 14, and slide rail 12 can also be set on other end faces of the mounting base 8 away from the rack 6, depending on the machining head.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the calibration mechanism includes an electric slide rail 15 and a pad 16. The electric slide rail 15 is mounted on the pad 16, and the processing table 4 is mounted on the pad 16 via the electric slide rail 15.

[0042] The pad 16 is used for the electric slide rail 15 to drive the processing table 4 to move and align, so that the drilling mechanism 3 corresponds to the material position.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
