Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of parts flipping and positioning, and in particular to a steel sheet flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, small-sized steel sheets are widely used in precision manufacturing processes. To ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processes, the steel sheets usually need to be flipped to a uniform surface before being placed on trays. Currently, the operation of flipping and placing steel sheets relies on manual labor, that is, workers identify the front and back of each steel sheet and manually flip and place them. This manual method of flipping and placing steel sheets is not only cumbersome and labor-intensive, but also inefficient in large-scale operations, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-speed production. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to improve the efficiency of steel sheet flipping and tray loading, reduce manual labor intensity, and adapt to the needs of large-volume, high-speed automated production, this application provides a steel sheet flipping device.

[0004] The steel sheet flipping device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A steel sheet flipping device includes: a mounting frame; a vibratory plate, the vibratory plate being disposed on the mounting frame and having a receiving groove for accommodating steel sheets, the vibratory plate being used to drive the steel sheets to vibrate so that the steel sheets flip over; and a temporary storage tray, the temporary storage tray being disposed on the mounting frame and used to store steel sheets flipped to a preset surface.

[0006] A visual recognition component is disposed on the mounting frame and opposite to the receiving groove. The visual recognition component is used to identify steel sheets that have been flipped to a preset surface. A first transfer mechanism is disposed on the mounting frame and is adapted to be opposite to the receiving groove or the temporary storage tray. The first transfer mechanism is used to transfer steel sheets that have been flipped to a preset surface in the receiving groove to the temporary storage tray.

[0007] The controller is communicatively connected to the vibratory feeder, the visual recognition device, and the first transfer mechanism. The controller is used to control the first transfer mechanism to start working based on the detection signal of the visual recognition device, and to control the vibratory feeder to start or stop working.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller determines whether there are steel sheets flipped to the preset surface in the receiving tank based on the detection signal of the visual recognition component. When a steel sheet is detected to have flipped to the preset surface, the controller controls the vibratory feeder to stop vibrating and controls the first transfer mechanism to start. The first transfer mechanism picks up the steel sheet from the receiving tank and transfers it to the temporary storage tray. Compared with the prior art, this application eliminates the need for manual flipping and placing of steel sheets one by one. It can automatically transfer the steel sheet to the temporary storage tray when it flips to the preset surface, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation, improving the efficiency of steel sheet flipping and tray loading, and thus meeting the automated processing needs of steel sheets in high-rate production scenarios.

[0009] Preferably, the end wall of the open end of the receiving groove is provided with a plurality of baffles, the plurality of baffles being arranged sequentially along the circumferential direction of the vibrating plate, the opening of the receiving groove being located inside the plurality of baffles, and the baffles being used to block the steel sheet.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple baffles are used to prevent the steel sheet from jumping out of the receiving groove during vibration, so that the steel sheet maintains a controllable vibration space in the receiving groove. This ensures that the steel sheet remains within the recognition range of the visual recognition device during vibration, thereby enabling effective recognition of the steel sheet's flipping state and improving the stability of the steel sheet's flipping action.

[0011] Preferably, the first transfer mechanism includes a first driving member, a second driving member, a third driving member, and a first suction head. The first driving member is connected to the first suction head, and the second driving member is connected to both the first and third driving members. The first driving member drives the first suction head to move along the height direction of the mounting frame. The second driving member drives the first suction head to move along a first direction of the mounting frame. The third driving member drives the first suction head to move along a second direction of the mounting frame. The first suction head is adapted to abut against the steel sheet and is used to pick up or release the steel sheet. The first direction, the second direction, and the height direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving member drives the first suction head to extend into the receiving groove to pick up the steel sheet flipped to the preset surface, and drives the first suction head to move close to the temporary storage tray to place the steel sheet in the temporary storage tray. The second driving member drives the first suction head to move along the first direction of the mounting frame, and the third driving member drives the first suction head to move along the second direction of the mounting frame, so that the first suction head can be relative to any position in the receiving groove and any position in the temporary storage tray. This allows the first suction head to accurately pick up the steel sheet in the receiving groove and accurately place the steel sheet in the temporary storage tray, thereby improving the flexibility and automation level of the steel sheet flipping and transfer process.

[0013] Preferably, the first driving component includes a connector, a motor, a transmission wheel assembly, and a transmission belt. The connector is connected to the second driving component. The motor is located on the connector. The transmission wheel assembly is pivotally mounted on the connector. The motor is drivingly connected to the transmission wheel assembly. The transmission belt is drivingly connected to the transmission wheel assembly and is connected to the first suction head. The motor drives the transmission wheel assembly to rotate the transmission belt, so that the transmission belt drives the first suction head to move along the height direction of the mounting frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the transmission wheel set to rotate the transmission belt, so that the transmission belt drives the first suction head to move along the height direction of the mounting bracket, thereby achieving the technical effect of the first suction head extending into or out of the receiving slot, and achieving the technical effect of the first suction head moving closer to or away from the temporary storage plate.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a first guide structure, and the second drive component is provided with a second guide structure, with the first guide structure and the second guide structure engaging in a guiding cooperation.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second driving component moves smoothly along the first direction of the mounting frame under the guidance of the first guide structure and the second guide structure, so that the second driving component drives the first driving component to move the first suction head precisely along the first direction of the mounting frame. This enables the first suction head to be accurately positioned and move smoothly in the first direction of the mounting frame, thereby ensuring that the steel sheet can be efficiently and accurately transferred to the temporary storage tray at different positions.

[0017] Preferably, there are multiple first driving components and multiple first suction heads, which are arranged sequentially along the first direction of the mounting bracket, and the multiple first driving components and multiple first suction heads are configured in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component drives the corresponding first suction head to move along the height direction of the mounting frame, so that multiple first suction heads simultaneously extend into the receiving groove to pick up multiple steel sheets that have been flipped to the preset surface, and simultaneously move towards the temporary storage plate to complete the placement operation of the steel sheets. Multiple first suction heads realize parallel picking and synchronous transfer of multiple steel sheets, thereby improving the overall transfer efficiency of the steel sheets.

[0019] Preferably, the steel sheet flipping device further includes: a transfer tray, an adsorption mechanism, and a second transfer mechanism. The transfer tray, the adsorption mechanism, and the second transfer mechanism are all disposed on the mounting frame. The transfer tray is used to store steel sheets. The adsorption mechanism includes a fourth driving member and a suction cup. The fourth driving member is connected and cooperates with the suction cup. The fourth driving member is used to drive the suction cup to rotate around the central axis of the fourth driving member. The suction cup is adapted to be opposite the temporary storage tray or the second transfer mechanism. The suction cup is used to pick up or release the steel sheets in the temporary storage tray. The second transfer mechanism is used to transfer the steel sheets on the suction cup to the transfer tray.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the fourth driving component drives the suction cup to rotate close to the temporary storage plate so that the suction cup is opposite to the temporary storage plate. The suction cup adsorbs the steel sheet in the temporary storage plate. Then, the fourth driving component drives the suction cup to rotate away from the temporary storage plate so that the suction cup is opposite to the second transfer mechanism. The second transfer mechanism transfers the steel sheet on the suction cup to the transfer plate. This enables the subsequent classification, sorting and orderly output of the steel sheet after it has been flipped and temporarily stored, thereby improving the automation level of the overall steel sheet transfer process.

[0021] Preferably, the second transfer mechanism includes a fifth driving member, a sixth driving member, and a plurality of second suction heads. The fifth driving member is connected and cooperates with the plurality of second suction heads. The plurality of second suction heads are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame. The fifth driving member is connected and cooperates with the sixth driving member. The fifth driving member drives the second suction heads to move closer to or away from the steel sheet. The sixth driving member drives the fifth driving member to drive the second suction heads to reciprocate between the transfer plate and the suction cup. The second suction heads are used to pick up or release the steel sheet.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the fifth driving component drives multiple second suction heads to move close to the steel sheet, so that the second suction heads pick up the steel sheet adsorbed on the suction cup. Then, the fifth driving component drives multiple second suction heads to move away from the suction cup. The sixth driving component drives the fifth driving component to move the second suction heads closer to the transfer plate. The fifth driving component drives multiple second suction heads to move closer to the transfer plate, so that the second suction heads release the steel sheet into the transfer plate. Thus, the accurate transfer of the steel sheet between the suction cup and the transfer plate can be achieved through the cooperation of the fifth and sixth driving components. The simultaneous action of multiple second suction heads improves the efficiency of batch handling of steel sheets, thereby enhancing the automation processing capability of the steel sheet flipping device.

[0023] Preferably, the steel sheet flipping device further includes: an ejection mechanism, which is disposed on the mounting frame and located on the side of the temporary storage plate away from the suction cup. The temporary storage plate has multiple receiving holes, which are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame. The receiving holes are used to receive steel sheets. The ejection mechanism includes an ejector plate and a seventh driving member. The ejector plate has multiple ejector pins, which are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame. The multiple ejector pins correspond one-to-one with the multiple receiving holes and are arranged opposite to each other. The seventh driving member is connected and cooperates with the ejector plate. The seventh driving member is used to drive the ejector plate to move the ejector pins into or out of the receiving holes. The ejector pins are used to eject the steel sheets.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the seventh driving component drives the ejector plate to move multiple ejector pins into or out of the receiving hole, so that multiple ejector pins push out the steel sheet located in the receiving hole from the bottom of the temporary storage plate, so that the upper surface of the steel sheet is exposed to the upper end wall of the temporary storage plate, thereby enabling the suction cup to fully contact the steel sheet and achieve reliable adsorption. This ensures the adsorption stability and transfer reliability of the adsorption mechanism when adsorbing the steel sheet, thus enabling the smooth removal and transfer of the steel sheet from the temporary storage plate to the transfer plate, improving the coordination of the automatic transfer process of the steel sheet and the overall operating efficiency of the device.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The controller determines whether a steel sheet has been flipped to a preset surface in the receiving tank based on the detection signal from the visual recognition device. When a steel sheet is detected to have been flipped to the preset surface, the controller stops the vibrating plate and starts the first transfer mechanism. The first transfer mechanism picks up the steel sheet from the receiving tank and transfers it to the temporary storage tray. Compared with the prior art, this application eliminates the need for manual flipping and placing of steel sheets one by one. It can automatically transfer the steel sheet to the temporary storage tray when it is flipped to the preset surface, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation, improving the efficiency of steel sheet flipping and tray loading, and thus meeting the automated processing needs of steel sheets in high-rate production scenarios.

[0027] 2. The fourth driving component drives the suction cup to rotate close to the temporary storage plate so that the suction cup is opposite to the temporary storage plate. The suction cup picks up the steel sheet in the temporary storage plate. Then the fourth driving component drives the suction cup to rotate away from the temporary storage plate so that the suction cup is opposite to the second transfer mechanism. The second transfer mechanism transfers the steel sheet on the suction cup to the transfer plate. This enables the subsequent sorting and orderly output of the steel sheet after it has been flipped and temporarily stored, thereby improving the automation level of the overall steel sheet transfer process.

[0028] 3. The seventh driving component drives the ejector plate to move multiple ejector pins into or out of the receiving hole, so that multiple ejector pins push the steel sheet located in the receiving hole from the bottom of the temporary storage plate upward, so that the upper surface of the steel sheet is exposed to the upper end wall of the temporary storage plate, thereby enabling the suction cup to fully contact the steel sheet and achieve reliable adsorption. This ensures the adsorption stability and transfer reliability of the adsorption mechanism when adsorbing the steel sheet, thus enabling the smooth removal and transfer of the steel sheet from the temporary storage plate to the transfer plate, improving the coordination of the automatic transfer process of the steel sheet and the overall operating efficiency of the device.

[0047] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0048] This application discloses a steel sheet flipping device 100.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The steel sheet flipping device 100 according to the embodiments of this application includes a mounting frame 1, a vibratory feeder 2, a temporary storage tray 3, a visual recognition component 4, a first transfer mechanism 5, and a controller. The vibratory feeder 2, the temporary storage tray 3, the visual recognition component 4, and the first transfer mechanism 5 are all mounted on the mounting frame 1. The vibratory feeder 2 has a receiving groove 21, which is open upwards along the height direction of the mounting frame 1. The receiving groove 21 is used to receive steel sheets. The vibratory feeder 2 is used to drive the steel sheets to vibrate, causing the steel sheets to flip. The height direction of the mounting frame 1 can be indicated by... Figure 1 The up and down directions in the middle.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the receiving groove 21 can accommodate multiple steel sheets.

[0051] The temporary storage tray 3 is used to store the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface. The visual recognition component 4 is opposite to the receiving groove 21 and is used to identify the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface. The first transfer mechanism 5 is adapted to be opposite to the receiving groove 21 or the temporary storage tray 3 and is used to transfer the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface in the receiving groove 21 to the temporary storage tray 3.

[0052] Furthermore, the vibratory feeder 2, the visual recognition component 4, and the first transfer mechanism 5 are all connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the first transfer mechanism 5 to start working based on the detection signal of the visual recognition component 4, and to control the vibratory feeder 2 to start or stop working.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the visual recognition element 4 is preferably a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device camera).

[0054] Specifically, the controller determines whether there are steel sheets flipped to the preset surface in the receiving groove 21 based on the detection signal of the visual recognition component 4. When a steel sheet in the receiving groove 21 is flipped to the preset surface, the controller controls the vibrating plate 2 to stop vibrating to prevent the steel sheet from continuing to flip. At the same time, the controller controls the first transfer mechanism 5 to start. The first transfer mechanism 5 picks up the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface from the receiving groove 21 and moves it to the temporary storage plate 3, placing the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface on the temporary storage plate 3. When the first transfer mechanism 5 completes the transfer action and there are no more steel sheets that have been flipped to the preset surface in the receiving groove 21, the controller controls the vibrating plate 2 to start again to continue flipping the remaining steel sheets. This enables the steel sheets to be continuously flipped in the vibrating plate 2 and dynamically recognized by the visual recognition component 4. After recognizing the steel sheet that meets the preset surface requirements, the controller stops the vibration and works with the first transfer mechanism 5 to complete the precise screening and traying, thereby improving the accuracy of steel sheet flipping recognition and traying efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, when there are multiple steel pieces flipped to the preset surface in the receiving tank 21, the controller controls the vibrating plate 2 to stop vibrating, and the controller controls the first transfer mechanism 5 to transfer multiple steel pieces flipped to the preset surface to the temporary storage plate 3 in sequence. When there are no more steel pieces flipped to the preset surface in the receiving tank 21, the controller controls the vibrating plate 2 to start again.

[0056] Therefore, the controller determines whether there is a steel sheet flipped to the preset surface in the receiving groove 21 based on the detection signal of the visual recognition component 4. When a steel sheet is detected to have flipped to the preset surface, the controller controls the vibratory feeder 2 to stop vibrating and controls the first transfer mechanism 5 to start. The first transfer mechanism 5 picks up the steel sheet from the receiving groove 21 and transfers it to the temporary storage tray 3. Compared with the prior art, this application eliminates the need for manual flipping and placing of steel sheets one by one. It can automatically transfer the steel sheet to the temporary storage tray 3 when it flips to the preset surface, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation, improving the efficiency of steel sheet flipping and tray loading, and thus meeting the automated processing needs of steel sheets in high-rate production scenarios.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the open end wall of the receiving groove 21 is provided with a plurality of baffles 22. The plurality of baffles 22 are arranged sequentially along the circumferential direction of the vibrating plate 2. The open end of the receiving groove 21 is located inside the plurality of baffles 22. That is to say, along the height direction of the mounting frame 1, the plurality of baffles 22 are all provided on the upper end wall of the vibrating plate 2. The baffles 22 are used to block the steel sheets.

[0058] Specifically, when the vibratory plate 2 drives the steel sheet in the receiving groove 21 to vibrate and flip the steel sheet, multiple baffles 22 are used to prevent the steel sheet from jumping out of the receiving groove 21 during the vibration process, so that the steel sheet maintains a controllable vibration space in the receiving groove 21. This ensures that the steel sheet is continuously within the recognition range of the visual recognition component 4 during the vibration process, thereby enabling effective recognition of the flipped state of the steel sheet and improving the stability of the steel sheet flipping action.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the first transfer mechanism 5 includes a first driving member 51, a second driving member 52, a third driving member 53, and a first suction head 54. The first driving member 51 is connected to the first suction head 54, and the second driving member 52 is connected to both the first driving member 51 and the third driving member 53. The first driving member 51 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1. The second driving member 52 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the first direction of the mounting frame 1. The third driving member 53 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the second direction of the mounting frame 1. The first suction head 54 is adapted to abut against the steel sheet and is used to pick up or release the steel sheet. The width direction of the receiving groove 21 and the width direction of the temporary storage tray 3 are both the first direction of the mounting frame 1, and the length direction of the receiving groove 21 and the length direction of the temporary storage tray 3 are both the second direction of the mounting frame 1. The first direction of the mounting frame 1 can refer to... Figure 1 The left and right directions of the mounting bracket 1, the second direction can refer to the left and right directions. Figure 1 The front and back directions in the middle.

[0060] The first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the mounting bracket 1 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the first driving member 51, the second driving member 52, and the third driving member 53 can all be rodless cylinders or linear slides, etc.

[0062] Specifically, the first driving member 51 is used to drive the first suction head 54 to extend into or move out of the receiving groove 21, and to drive the first suction head 54 to move closer to or away from the temporary storage tray 3. The second driving member 52 is used to drive the first driving member 51 to move the first suction head 54 along the first direction of the mounting bracket 1, so that the first suction head 54 can be opposite to any position along the width direction of the receiving groove 21, and the first suction head 54 can be opposite to any position along the width direction of the temporary storage tray 3. The third driving member 53 is used to drive the second driving member 52 to move the first suction head 54 along the second direction of the mounting bracket 1, so that the first suction head 54 can be opposite to any position along the length direction of the receiving groove 21, and the first suction head 54 can be opposite to any position along the length direction of the temporary storage tray 3.

[0063] The first driving member 51 drives the first suction head 54 to extend into the receiving groove 21 to pick up the steel sheet that has been flipped to the preset surface, and drives the first suction head 54 to move closer to the temporary storage tray 3 to place the steel sheet in the temporary storage tray 3. The second driving member 52 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the first direction of the mounting frame 1, and the third driving member 53 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the second direction of the mounting frame 1, so that the first suction head 54 can be opposite to any position in the receiving groove 21 and opposite to any position in the temporary storage tray 3. This allows the first suction head 54 to accurately pick up the steel sheet in the receiving groove 21 and accurately place the steel sheet in the temporary storage tray 3, thereby improving the flexibility and automation level of the steel sheet flipping and transfer process.

[0064] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the first driving member 51 includes a connector 511, a motor 512, a transmission wheel set 513, and a transmission belt 514. The connector 511 is connected to the second driving member 52. The motor 512 is disposed on the connector 511. The transmission wheel set 513 is pivotally mounted on the connector 511. The motor 512 is connected to the transmission wheel set 513. The transmission belt 514 is connected to the transmission wheel set 513 and is connected to the first suction head 54. The motor 512 drives the transmission wheel set 513 to rotate the transmission belt 514, so that the transmission belt 514 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1.

[0065] Specifically, the transmission wheel assembly 513 includes a driving wheel 5131 and a driven wheel 5132. The driving wheel 5131 is connected to the motor 512, and the driven wheel 5132 is pivotally connected to the connecting member 511. The transmission belt 514 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the driving wheel 5131 and the outer peripheral wall of the driven wheel 5132. The motor 512 drives the driving wheel 5131 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belt 514 to rotate. The transmission belt 514 drives the driven wheel 5132 to rotate, and the transmission belt 514 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1.

[0066] The motor 512 drives the transmission wheel set 513 to rotate the transmission belt 514, so that the transmission belt 514 drives the first suction head 54 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1, thereby achieving the technical effect of the first suction head 54 extending into or out of the receiving groove 21, and achieving the technical effect of the first suction head 54 moving closer to or away from the temporary storage plate 3.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a first guide structure 11, and the second drive member 52 is provided with a second guide structure 521, with the first guide structure 11 and the second guide structure 521 cooperating in a guiding manner.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, the first guide structure 11 can be a guide protrusion, and the second guide structure 521 can be a guide recess.

[0069] In some other specific embodiments, the first guide structure 11 can be a guide recess, and the second guide structure 521 can be a guide protrusion.

[0070] Under the guidance of the first guide structure 11 and the second guide structure 521, the second drive member 52 moves smoothly along the first direction of the mounting frame 1, so that the second drive member 52 drives the first drive member 51 to move the first suction head 54 precisely along the first direction of the mounting frame 1. This enables the first suction head 54 to be accurately positioned and move smoothly in the first direction of the mounting frame 1, thereby ensuring that the steel sheet can be efficiently and accurately transferred to the temporary storage tray 3 at different positions.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, there are multiple first driving members 51 and multiple first suction heads 54. The multiple first driving members 51 and multiple first suction heads 54 are arranged sequentially along the first direction of the mounting frame 1, and the multiple first driving members 51 and multiple first suction heads 54 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0072] The first driving member 51 drives the corresponding first suction head 54 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1, so that multiple first suction heads 54 simultaneously extend into the receiving groove 21 to pick up multiple steel sheets that have been flipped to the preset surface, and simultaneously move towards the temporary storage plate 3 to complete the placement operation of the steel sheets. Multiple first suction heads 54 realize the parallel picking and synchronous transfer of multiple steel sheets, thereby improving the overall transfer efficiency of the steel sheets.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the steel sheet flipping device 100 may further include: a transfer plate 6, an adsorption mechanism 7, and a second transfer mechanism 8. The transfer plate 6, the adsorption mechanism 7, and the second transfer mechanism 8 are all located on the mounting frame 1. The transfer plate 6 is used to store steel sheets.

[0074] Along the second direction of the mounting frame 1, the adsorption mechanism 7 is located between the transfer plate 6 and the temporary storage plate 3. The adsorption mechanism 7 includes a fourth driving member 71 and a suction cup 72. The fourth driving member 71 is connected and cooperates with the suction cup 72. The fourth driving member 71 is used to drive the suction cup 72 to rotate around the central axis of the fourth driving member 71. The suction cup 72 is adapted to be opposite to the temporary storage plate 3 or the second transfer mechanism 8. The suction cup 72 is used to adsorb the steel sheet in the temporary storage plate 3. The second transfer mechanism 8 is used to transfer the steel sheet on the suction cup 72 to the transfer plate 6.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, the fourth drive element 71 is preferably a motor.

[0076] The fourth driving component 71 drives the suction cup 72 to rotate close to the temporary storage plate 3 so that the suction cup 72 is opposite to the temporary storage plate 3. The suction cup 72 adsorbs the steel sheet in the temporary storage plate 3. Then, the fourth driving component 71 drives the suction cup 72 to rotate away from the temporary storage plate 3 so that the suction cup 72 is opposite to the second transfer mechanism 8. The second transfer mechanism 8 transfers the steel sheet on the suction cup 72 to the transfer plate 6. This enables the subsequent classification, sorting and orderly output of the steel sheet after it has been flipped and temporarily stored, thereby improving the automation level of the overall steel sheet transfer process.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the second transfer mechanism 8 includes a fifth drive member 81, a sixth drive member 82, and a plurality of second suction heads 83. The fifth drive member 81 is connected and cooperates with the plurality of second suction heads 83. The plurality of second suction heads 83 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame 1. The fifth drive member 81 is connected and cooperates with the sixth drive member 82. The fifth drive member 81 drives the second suction heads 83 to move closer to or away from the steel sheet. The sixth drive member 82 drives the fifth drive member 81 to drive the second suction heads 83 to reciprocate between the transfer plate 6 and the suction cup 72. The second suction heads 83 are used to pick up or release the steel sheet.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, both the fifth drive member 81 and the sixth drive member 82 can be rodless cylinders or linear slides, etc.

[0079] The fifth driving component 81 drives multiple second suction heads 83 to move close to the steel sheet, so that the second suction heads 83 pick up the steel sheet adsorbed on the suction cup 72 at the suction cup 72. Then, the fifth driving component 81 drives multiple second suction heads 83 to move away from the suction cup 72. The sixth driving component 82 drives the fifth driving component 81 to move the second suction heads 83 close to the transfer plate 6. The fifth driving component 81 drives multiple second suction heads 83 to move close to the transfer plate 6, so that the second suction heads 83 release the steel sheet into the transfer plate 6. Thus, the steel sheet can be accurately transferred between the suction cup 72 and the transfer plate 6 through the cooperation of the fifth driving component 81 and the sixth driving component 82. The simultaneous action of multiple second suction heads 83 improves the efficiency of batch handling of steel sheets, thereby improving the automation processing capability of the steel sheet flipping device 100.

[0080] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the steel sheet flipping device 100 may further include: an ejection mechanism 9, which is disposed on the mounting frame 1 and located away from the temporary storage plate 3. The ejection mechanism 9 is located on the side of the temporary storage plate 3 away from the suction cup 72. That is, along the height direction of the mounting frame 1, the suction cup 72 is adapted to be opposite to the upper end wall of the temporary storage plate 3, and the ejection mechanism 9 is located below the temporary storage plate 3.

[0081] The temporary storage plate 3 is provided with multiple receiving holes 31, which are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame 1. The receiving holes 31 are used to receive steel sheets, and all of the receiving holes 31 are constructed as through holes. The ejection mechanism 9 includes an ejector plate 91 and a seventh driving member 92. The ejector plate 91 is provided with multiple ejector pins 911, which are spaced apart along the radial direction of the mounting frame 1. The multiple ejector pins 911 correspond one-to-one with the multiple receiving holes 31 and are arranged opposite to each other. The seventh driving member 92 is connected and cooperates with the ejector plate 91. The seventh driving member 92 is used to drive the ejector plate 91 to drive the ejector pins 911 to extend into or move out of the receiving holes 31. The ejector pins 911 are used to eject the steel sheets.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, the receiving hole 31 is tapered, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving hole 31 gradually decreases from top to bottom along the height direction of the mounting bracket 1. The steel sheet abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the receiving hole 31, thereby preventing the steel sheet from detaching from the receiving hole 31.

[0083] In some specific embodiments, the seventh drive element 92 is preferably a cylinder.

[0084] The seventh driving component 92 drives the ejector plate 91 to move multiple ejector pins 911 into or out of the receiving hole 31, so that the multiple ejector pins 911 push the steel sheet located in the receiving hole 31 from the bottom of the temporary storage plate 3 upward, so that the upper surface of the steel sheet is exposed to the upper end wall of the temporary storage plate 3, thereby enabling the suction cup 72 to fully contact the steel sheet and achieve reliable adsorption. This ensures the adsorption stability and transfer reliability of the adsorption mechanism 7 when adsorbing the steel sheet, thus enabling the smooth removal and transfer of the steel sheet from the temporary storage plate 3 to the transfer plate 6, improving the coordination of the automatic transfer process of the steel sheet and the overall operating efficiency of the device.

[0085] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
