[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flipping device for assisting inkjet printer spraying, comprising a support frame, a flipping mechanism installed on the top of the support frame, and a clamping mechanism installed inside the flipping mechanism;
[0006] The flipping mechanism includes a first fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the top of the support frame. A flipping frame is rotatably connected to the middle of the first fixing block. A second fixing block is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame floor. A worm gear is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner side of the second fixing block. A worm wheel is engaged at the bottom of the worm gear. The middle of the worm wheel is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the flipping frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame at the front end of the worm gear.
[0007] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the tilting frame, the tilting frame is rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame through the rotating shaft, and the tilting frame is fixedly connected to the worm gear through the rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the motor is fixedly connected to the top right side of the support frame, the motor is provided with an output shaft, and the motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear through the output shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed base, which is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the flipping frame. A cylinder is fixedly connected in the middle of the fixed base. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the cylinder. A pad is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the mounting plate. A stabilizing rod is slidably connected to the outer ring of the pad.

[0011] Preferably, the stabilizer bar is fixedly connected to a limiting ring on the outside of the pad, and the diameter of the stabilizer bar is smaller than the diameter of the limiting ring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a flipping device to assist inkjet printers in spraying, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The flipping device of this auxiliary inkjet printer effectively improves the stability of the equipment through its flipping mechanism. First, the motor drives the worm gear to rotate via its output shaft. Since the worm gear meshes with a worm wheel, its rotation drives the worm wheel to rotate as well. The worm wheel is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the flipping frame, and the flipping frame is rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame via a rotating shaft, enabling stable flipping motion. Compared to traditional equipment, this worm gear transmission method has a self-locking characteristic, providing more stable power transmission to the flipping frame and preventing vibrations caused by unstable power output. When handling heavier items, the motor's power is more effectively converted into a smooth flipping torque, maintaining the rigidity of the flipping frame during high-speed flipping or when carrying heavy loads, avoiding vibrations caused by insufficient rigidity in the transmission system and support structure. This stable flipping motion ensures the smoothness of the item to be coded during the flipping process, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the coding position and preventing quality problems such as blurry or broken coding lines. It significantly improves the coding quality of the product and reduces the scrap rate, making it especially suitable for coding operations with high precision requirements.
[0014] 2. The flipping device for the auxiliary inkjet printer, through a clamping mechanism, uses a cylinder to drive the mounting plate. During this movement, the movable plate at one end of the stabilizer bar and the soft disk on its inner side move accordingly. A spring is sleeved between the stabilizer bar and the movable plate. When clamping an item, the spring acts as a buffer and shock absorber, preventing vibration caused by impact. Simultaneously, the sliding connection of the outer ring of the stabilizer bar and its outer limiting ring ensure stable horizontal movement of the movable plate and soft disk, preventing shaking that could affect the overall stability of the device when clamping items. When clamping heavier items, this buffering and stabilizing structural design prevents shaking caused by uneven weight distribution or inertia, ensuring the stability of the clamped item during the flipping process. Sliding holes on both sides of the fixed base connect to the sliding rod, further strengthening the rigidity of the clamping structure and ensuring the reliability of the clamping mechanism under long-term continuous operation. This design helps maintain the stability of the entire device during the gripping and flipping process, reducing the impact of vibrations generated during gripping on coding accuracy, thereby improving the coding quality of the product and the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0023] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A flipping device for assisting inkjet printer spraying includes a support frame 3, a flipping mechanism 2 installed on the top of the support frame 3, and a clamping mechanism 1 installed inside the flipping mechanism 2;
[0026] The flipping mechanism 2 includes a first fixed block 21, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the two sides of the top of the support frame 3. A flipping frame 22 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first fixed block 21. A second fixed block 23 is fixedly connected to the right side of the floor of the support frame 3. A worm gear 25 is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner side of the second fixed block 23. A worm wheel 26 is engaged at the bottom of the worm gear 25. The middle of the worm wheel 26 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the flipping frame 22. A motor 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3 at the front end of the worm gear 25.
[0027] The tilting mechanism 2 effectively improves the stability of the equipment through its structural design. First, the motor 24 drives the worm gear 25 to rotate via its output shaft. Since the worm gear 25 meshes with the worm wheel 26, its rotation drives the worm wheel 26 to rotate as well. The worm wheel 26 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the tilting frame 22, and the tilting frame 22 is rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame 3 via a rotating shaft, enabling the tilting frame 22 to perform stable tilting movements. Compared to traditional equipment, this worm gear 26 and worm wheel 25 transmission method has a self-locking characteristic, providing more stable power transmission to the tilting frame 22 and preventing vibrations caused by unstable power output. When handling heavier items, the power of the motor 24 can be more effectively converted into a smooth tilting torque, maintaining the rigidity of the tilting frame 22 during high-speed tilting or when carrying heavy loads, thus avoiding vibrations caused by insufficient rigidity in the transmission system and support structure. This stable flipping motion ensures the smoothness of the item to be coded during the flipping process, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the coding position and preventing quality problems such as blurry or broken coding lines. It significantly improves the coding quality of the product and reduces the scrap rate, making it especially suitable for coding operations with high precision requirements.
[0028] The tilting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the rotating frame 22. The tilting frame 22 is rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame 3 through the rotating shaft. The tilting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 26 through the rotating shaft.
[0029] The bottom of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the support frame 3. The motor 24 is equipped with an output shaft, and the motor 24 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 25 through the output shaft.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the clamping mechanism 1 includes a fixed base 14, which is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the flipping frame 22. A cylinder 13 is fixedly connected in the middle of the fixed base 14. A mounting plate 151 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the cylinder 13. A pad 15 is fixedly connected in the middle of the inner side of the mounting plate 151. A stabilizing rod 17 is slidably connected to the outer ring of the pad 15. A movable plate 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the stabilizing rod 17. A floppy disk 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable plate 18. A spring 19 is sleeved between the pad 15 and the movable plate 18 on the stabilizing rod 17. A sliding rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting plate 151. A stabilizing plate 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the sliding rod 12.
[0032] Through the clamping mechanism 1, the cylinder 13 pushes the mounting plate 151 to move. During the movement, the movable plate 18 at the outer end of the stabilizer 17 and the floppy disk 16 on its inner side move accordingly. A spring 19 is sleeved between the stabilizer 17 and the pad 15 and the movable plate 18. When clamping an item, the spring 19 acts as a buffer and shock absorber, preventing vibration caused by impact during clamping. At the same time, the sliding connection of the outer ring of the stabilizer 17 and its outer limiting ring ensure the stable horizontal movement of the movable plate 18 and the floppy disk 16, preventing the overall stability of the device from being affected by shaking when clamping items. When clamping heavier items, this buffering and stabilizing structural design prevents shaking caused by uneven weight distribution or inertia, ensuring the stability of the clamped item during the flipping process. The sliding holes on both sides of the fixed base 14 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 12, further strengthening the rigidity of the clamping structure and ensuring the reliability of the clamping mechanism 1 under long-term continuous operation. This design helps maintain the stability of the entire device during the gripping and flipping process, reducing the impact of vibrations generated during gripping on coding accuracy, thereby improving the coding quality of the product and the production efficiency of the equipment.
[0033] The fixed base 14 has sliding holes on both sides corresponding to the sliding rod 12, and the sliding rod 12 is slidably connected in the sliding holes of the fixed base 14.
[0034] The stabilizer bar 17 is fixedly connected to a limit ring on the outside of the pad 15, and the diameter of the stabilizer bar 17 is smaller than the diameter of the limit ring.
[0035] In actual operation, this device effectively improves equipment stability through its structural design. First, the motor 24 drives the worm gear 25 to rotate via its output shaft. Since the worm gear 25 meshes with the worm wheel 26, its rotation drives the worm wheel 26 to rotate as well. The worm wheel 26 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the tilting frame 22, and the tilting frame 22 is rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame 3 via a rotating shaft, enabling the tilting frame 22 to perform stable tilting movements. Compared to traditional equipment, this worm gear 26 and worm wheel 25 transmission method has a self-locking characteristic, providing more stable power transmission to the tilting frame 22 and preventing vibrations caused by unstable power output. When handling heavier items, the motor 24's power is more effectively converted into a smooth tilting torque, maintaining the rigidity of the tilting frame 22 during high-speed tilting or when carrying heavy loads, thus avoiding vibrations caused by insufficient rigidity in the transmission system and support structure. This stable flipping motion ensures the smoothness of the item to be coded during the flipping process, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the coding position and preventing quality problems such as blurry or broken coding lines. It significantly improves the coding quality of the product and reduces the scrap rate, making it especially suitable for coding operations with high precision requirements.
[0036] Cylinder 13 pushes the mounting plate 151 to move. During this movement, the movable plate 18 at the outer end of the stabilizer 17 and the floppy disk 16 on its inner side move accordingly. A spring 19 is sleeved between the stabilizer 17 and the pad 15 and the movable plate 18. When gripping an item, the spring 19 acts as a buffer and shock absorber, preventing vibration caused by impact during gripping. At the same time, the sliding connection of the outer ring of the stabilizer 17 and its outer limiting ring ensure stable horizontal movement of the movable plate 18 and the floppy disk 16, preventing shaking that could affect the overall stability of the device when gripping items. When gripping heavier items, this buffering and stabilizing structural design prevents shaking caused by uneven weight distribution or inertia, ensuring the stability of the gripped item during the flipping process. The sliding holes on both sides of the fixed base 14 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 12, further strengthening the rigidity of the gripping structure and ensuring the reliability of the gripping mechanism 1 under long-term continuous operation. This design helps maintain the stability of the entire device during the gripping and flipping process, reducing the impact of vibrations generated during gripping on coding accuracy, thereby improving the coding quality of the product and the production efficiency of the equipment.
