Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a flipping device for plate-shaped products. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, products need to be flipped over during the production or inspection process to ensure comprehensive testing. Taking the testing process of a battery cover (a typical plate-shaped product) as an example, the front of the battery cover is inspected first. After the front inspection is completed, the battery cover must be flipped over so that the back can also be inspected.

[0003] However, the current battery cover inspection process suffers from a significant problem with the flipping device: the flipping operation is time-consuming. This forces the conveyor line to pause transporting the battery covers, waiting for the flipping operation to complete before resuming. This waiting period hinders the conveyor line's ability to continuously transport and inspect batteries online, thus severely impacting inspection efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems of long flipping time and reduced detection efficiency in the existing technology has become the core research topic of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping device for plate-shaped products.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A flipping device for a plate-shaped product is provided in relation to a conveying device. The flipping device includes a frame and at least two flipping discs, each of which is connected by a connecting shaft and rotatably positioned on the frame.

[0008] Each of the aforementioned rotating disks has multiple rotating stations evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating disk, and the rotating stations of adjacent rotating disks are arranged in a one-to-one alignment along the axial direction of the connecting shaft.

[0009] The flipping device has a feed flipping port and a discharge flipping port, both of which are located on the horizontal plane of the conveying device. The feed flipping port is used to clamp the plate-shaped product to be flipped in the front position, and the discharge flipping port is used to release the plate-shaped product that has been flipped as it is conveyed by the conveying device. As the flipping discs rotate, the flipping positions of each flipping disc alternate between the feed flipping port and the discharge flipping port.

[0010] In a further technical solution, each of the aforementioned flipping stations is provided with the clamping structure, and each of the aforementioned clamping structures has a limiting slot for defining the position of the plate-shaped product.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the clamping structure is arranged radially along the flipping disk in the flipping station, and the radial position of the clamping structure is adjusted according to the width of the plate-shaped product.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the flip disk is movable along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the distance between two adjacent flip disks is adjusted according to the length of the plate-shaped product.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the connecting shaft can be a flat lead screw or other shaft-shaped components that facilitate the transmission of torque.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the number of flipping stations on each of the flipping disks is eight, but this is not a limitation.

[0015] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this work. Singular forms such as “a,” “this,” “this,” “the,” and “the” as used herein also include plural forms.

[0016] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this article do not specifically refer to order or sequence, nor are they intended to limit this case; they are merely used to distinguish components or operations described using the same technical terms.

[0017] The terms "connection" or "positioning" as used in this article can refer to two or more components or devices making direct physical contact with each other, or making indirect physical contact with each other, or to two or more components or devices operating or moving with each other.

[0018] The terms “include,” “including,” and “have” used in this article are all open-ended, meaning they include but are not limited to.

[0019] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein generally have their ordinary meaning in the context of the art, the subject matter, and the specific context. Certain terms used to describe this case will be discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art in describing the case.

[0020] The terms “front,” “back,” “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” used in this article are directional terms. In this case, they are only used to describe the positional relationship between the structures and are not intended to limit the specific direction of the protection scheme or its actual implementation.

[0021] The working principle and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] The flipping tray of this utility model has multiple flipping stations. As the flipping tray rotates, the time interval between two adjacent flipping stations moving to the product conveying plane is small, which can ensure the flipping efficiency. In addition, through the application of the flipping device of this utility model, online flipping of automated production lines can be realized, avoiding production line downtime during product flipping, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the production line. The product conveying plane is the plane where plate-shaped products are conveyed and inspected.

[0023] A further advantage is that each flipping station is equipped with a clamping structure for holding plate-shaped products. This clamping structure can move radially, thereby adjusting the radial position of the clamping structure. In addition, the flipping disk can move axially along the connecting shaft, thereby making the distance between two adjacent flipping disks adjustable. Therefore, this flipping device can be applied to plate-shaped products with different lengths or widths, and has good versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0032] Example: The present invention will be clearly described below with illustrations and detailed description. Any person skilled in the art who understands the examples of the present invention can make changes and modifications based on the technology taught in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1A flipping device for a plate-shaped product is provided in a conveying device, which may be a conveyor belt, for flipping a battery cover 6 so that the battery cover 6 can change to a front or back state according to the needs of detection or collection. In this embodiment, the battery cover 6 passes through the front detection device in a front posture under the conveying action of the conveying device. After passing through the front detection, it passes through the back detection device in a back posture under the flipping action of the flipping device 24 for back detection, thereby completing the detection of the front and back of the battery cover 6.

[0034] Please continue reading Figure 1 The flipping device 24 includes a frame 240 and at least two flipping disks 241. Each flipping disk 241 is connected to and rotatably positioned on the frame 240 via a connecting shaft. Each flipping disk 241 has multiple flipping stations 2411 evenly distributed along the circumference of the flipping disk 241, and the flipping stations 2411 of adjacent flipping disks 241 are aligned one-to-one along the axial direction of the connecting shaft.

[0035] The flipping device 24 has a feeding flipping port and a discharging flipping port, both located on the horizontal plane of the conveying device. The feeding flipping port is used to clamp the battery cover 6 that needs to be flipped while it is in a frontal position, and the discharging flipping port is used to release the flipped battery cover 6 as it is conveyed by the conveying device. As the flipping disk 241 rotates, the flipping station 2411 of each flipping disk 241 alternates between the feeding flipping port and the discharging flipping port.

[0036] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the battery cover 6 during the flipping process, preferably, each flipping station 2411 is equipped with a clamping structure 2412, which has a limiting slot for limiting the position of the battery cover 6. When the battery cover 6 is transported to the flipping station 2411 of the flipping disk 241, it is positioned by the clamping structure 2412. The flipping disk 241 flips, causing the battery cover 6 inside the clamping structure 2412 to flip as well. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting slot, the battery cover 6 inside the clamping structure 2412 is in a stable state.

[0037] Considering the diversity of battery cover types 6, to increase the applicability of the flipping device 24, in this embodiment, on the one hand, the clamping structure 2412 is arranged radially along the flipping disk 241 in the flipping station 2411, and the radial position of the clamping structure 2412 is adjusted according to the width of the battery cover 6 to ensure that the clamping structure 2412 is more suitable for the size of the battery cover 6 and improve the stability of the flipping of the battery cover 6. Preferably, the position of the clamping structure 2412 is adjusted so as to clamp at least the middle part of the battery cover 6. On the other hand, the flipping device 24 also includes a connecting shaft, and each flipping disk 241 rotates around the connecting shaft. Each flipping disk 241 is movable along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the distance between two adjacent flipping disks 241 is adjusted according to the length of the battery cover 6 to clamp the battery cover 6 more stably.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transmission of torque of the connecting shaft to the flip plate 241, in this embodiment, the connecting shaft includes a flat lead screw.

[0039] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, there are two flipping devices 24, namely a first flipping device 24a and a second flipping device 24b. The first flipping device 24a is disposed between the front detection area 231 and the back detection area 232 of the conveying device, and is used to flip the battery cover 6 from the front to the back. The second flipping device 24b is disposed at the end of the back detection area, and is used to flip the battery cover 6, which is placed on the conveying device in a back position, back to the front position, so as to facilitate the subsequent traying of the battery cover 6.

[0040] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
