Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Example

[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic top-pressing and flipping mechanism, which is suitable for a product 10 with a limiting part 12 on the side wall. It includes a base 1; and also includes a swing fixing block 2, a first drive 3, a top-pressing block, an opening and closing lever 5, a second drive 6 and an elastic element 7 disposed on the base 1.

[0023] Specifically, taking product 10, which has an outwardly protruding limiting part 12 at the bottom, as an example. In this embodiment, the first drive 3 is a motor, and the second drive 6 is a cylinder; a motor seat 8 and a bearing seat 9 are provided on the base 1; the motor is fixed on the motor seat 8.

[0024] The swing fixing block 2 is provided with a pressing station for placing the product 10; the pressing station is provided with a sliding groove 11. The pressing block includes a pressing part 4 placed on the upper end face of the pressing station, and a sliding part 16 connected to the pressing part 4 and slidably disposed on the sliding groove 11; the elastic element 7 is a compression spring, which is connected between the end face of the sliding groove 11 and the end face of the pressing block. Under the elastic force of the compression spring, the pressing block moves closer to the product 10 in the X direction. The front end of the pressing station is provided with a limiting boss 13, which, together with the front end face of the pressing block, limits the product 10 in the X direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, the front end face of the pressing block is provided with spring-loaded portions 14 on both sides, which are adapted to the limiting portion 12, and the distance between the two spring-loaded portions 14 is adapted to the width of the product 10. Under the elastic force of the compression spring, after the pressing block moves closer to the product 10 in the X direction, the two spring-loaded portions 14 are placed on both sides of the width of the product 10 and on the upper side of the limiting portion 12, thereby realizing the pressing and limiting of the product 10 in the Y and Z directions.

[0026] A fixing member 18 can also be provided at the front end of the top pressing station for movably connecting the pressing component. It can be used to press another component onto the product 10 after the product 10 is rotated to a set angle.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rotating component 15 connected to the swing fixing block 2 is also included. One side of the rotating component 15 is positioned above the sliding groove 11 to limit the upper limit of the top pressure block. The other side of the rotating component 15 is a rotating shaft, which is connected to the bearing seat 9 via a bearing and to the motor via a coupling 17. When the top pressure block limits the product 10, the motor drives the rotating component 15 to rotate, thereby driving the swing fixing block 2 to rotate, achieving a certain angle flipping of the product 10.

[0028] One end of the opening and closing lever 5 abuts against the outer end face of the sliding part 16 near the product 10, and the other end is connected to the cylinder. The cylinder can drive the opening and closing lever 5 to move along the X direction, so as to drive the top pressing block to overcome the force of the compression spring and move away from the product 10, so as to facilitate the unloading and further loading of the product 10.

[0029] The automatic top-pressing and flipping mechanism is applicable to products 10 with limiting parts 12 on the side walls. It uses elastic elements 7 and top-pressing blocks to limit the product 10 placed on the top-pressing station in the X, Y, and Z directions. The first drive 3 drives the top-pressed and limited product 10 to rotate at a certain angle for subsequent assembly. The second drive 6 drives the top-pressing block away from the product 10 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the product 10 on the top-pressing station. This flipping mechanism has a simple structure, low cost, and compared to multi-degree-of-freedom robots, it does not require program setting; only the rotation angle needs to be adjusted, making it easy to operate.
