[0043] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model. Example

[0044] See Figures 1-6As shown, a flipping conveyor includes a mounting bracket 1, an arc-shaped guide rail bracket 2, a flipping mechanism 3, a drive mechanism 4, and a transport mechanism 5. The mounting bracket 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire device, on which the arc-shaped guide rail bracket 2 is securely fixed. The guide rail bracket 2 defines a movement space, providing a stable movement trajectory for the flipping mechanism 3.

[0045] The flipping mechanism 3 is located inside the guide rail bracket 2 and includes a flipping frame 31. The flipping frame 31 is equipped with multiple pulley assemblies 32, which are slidably connected to the guide rail bracket 2, ensuring that the flipping mechanism 3 can smoothly perform flipping actions within a limited movement space.

[0046] The drive mechanism 4 provides power to the tilting mechanism 3. It uses gear transmission to drive the tilting mechanism 3 to rotate stably along the guide rail bracket 2 through precise gear meshing. Compared with the traditional chain drive, gear transmission not only significantly improves the tilting efficiency, reducing the tilting action that originally took 9 seconds to complete to only 4 seconds, but also greatly enhances the stability of the tilting frame 31 during the tilting process. At the same time, the maintenance of gear transmission is also simpler, reducing the cost of use.

[0047] The transport mechanism 5 is responsible for clamping and conveying the product during the flipping process. It includes two clamping modules 51 arranged opposite each other on the flipping mechanism 3, and a transport module 52 mounted on each clamping module 51. The two transport modules 52 are located between the two clamping modules 51 and are arranged opposite each other. Driven by the clamping modules 51, the two transport modules 52 can firmly clamp the product located between them, ensuring that the product will not slip or shift during the flipping process, thereby achieving efficient and stable product transport.

[0048] Specifically, the pulley assembly 32 is a key component for achieving a sliding connection between the flipping mechanism 3 and the guide rail bracket 2. It includes several pulley brackets 321 fixed on the flipping frame 31. Sliding parts 322 are mounted on the pulley brackets 321 via pivot connections. This connection method allows the sliding parts 322 to rotate flexibly, thereby adapting to various angle changes of the flipping mechanism 3 during the flipping process.

[0049] The slider 322 is in direct contact with the inner wall of the guide rail bracket 2, ensuring that the flipping mechanism 3 can flip smoothly along the guide rail bracket 2. It is worth mentioning that the slider 322 can be implemented in various equivalent ways, and can be in the form of a pulley or a slider, depending on the specific application scenario and performance requirements.

[0050] Furthermore, the cross-section of the guide rail bracket 2 is designed in a U-shape. This shape not only provides sufficient strength and stability, but also allows the slider 322 to be partially embedded in the guide rail bracket 2, further enhancing the reliability and stability of the sliding connection.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 serves as the core power component in the tilting conveyor device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the system includes a drive motor 41 and a dual-output-shaft reducer 42. The output shaft of the drive motor 41 is connected to the input end of the dual-output-shaft reducer 42 to ensure stable and efficient power transmission. Identical drive gears 43 are mounted on both output shafts of the dual-output-shaft reducer 42, and these two drive gears 43 rotate synchronously under the drive of the reducer 42. Identical gear rings 44 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer contour of the tilting frame 31. These gear rings 44 are tightly fixed to the tilting frame 31 and rotate with it.

[0052] To ensure that the driving gear 43 can stably and effectively drive the gear ring 44 to rotate, auxiliary gears 45 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting bracket 1 and are pivotally connected. These auxiliary gears 45 mesh with the corresponding driving gear 43 and gear ring 44 to form a complete gear transmission system.

[0053] Considering protection and safety during gear transmission, combined with Figure 3 As shown, both the drive gear 43 and the auxiliary gear 45 are equipped with a first protective cover 46 to prevent external debris from entering and affecting transmission efficiency, and to protect the safety of the operator. Meanwhile, the gear ring 44 is also equipped with a second protective cover 47 to further enhance its protective performance.

[0054] Through the design of the drive mechanism 4, not only is the efficient and stable rotation of the flipping frame 31 achieved, but also the safety and reliability of the entire device are ensured through reasonable gear transmission and protective structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the clamping module 51, as a key component of the transport mechanism 5, plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability and safety of the product during the flipping and conveying process. Figure 6 As shown, the clamping module 51 includes a mounting base 511 and a clamping drive component 512. The mounting base 511 is connected to the flipping frame 31, providing a stable mounting foundation for the clamping drive component 512. The clamping drive component 512 is mounted on the mounting base 511, and its telescopic part is connected to the transport module 52, driving the transport module 52 to perform corresponding actions through telescopic movement. In practical applications, the clamping drive component 512 can be a cylinder, which has advantages such as fast response speed, high force, and easy control.

[0056] To further enhance the stability and guidance of the transport module 52 during movement, a notch 5111 is symmetrically provided on each of the mounting seats 511 on both sides of the clamping drive member 512. These notches 5111 contain compatible linear sliders 513 and linear guides 514. The linear slider 513 is fixed to the mounting seat 511, while one end of the linear guide 514 is fixed to the transport module 52. Through this cooperation between the linear slider and the linear guide, the transport module 52 can move smoothly and precisely along a predetermined linear trajectory under the drive of the clamping drive member 512.

[0057] In this embodiment, the transport module 52 is a key component of the tilting conveyor responsible for the actual material transport, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the system includes a frame 521, with a drive roller and a driven roller respectively pivoted at both ends. A conveyor belt 522 is tensioned between these two rollers, forming a moving path for carrying and conveying materials. The drive roller is connected to a drive motor, which provides power to rotate the roller, thereby driving the conveyor belt 522 to circulate and achieve continuous material conveying.

[0058] A fixing plate 523 is provided on the frame 521, located on the outside of the conveyor belt 522. This fixing plate 523 not only reinforces the frame 521 but also serves as the mounting base for the telescopic part of the clamping drive component 512 and the linear slide rail 514. The telescopic part of the clamping drive component 512 is connected to the transport module 52 via the fixing plate 523, enabling it to drive the transport module 52 to perform clamping or releasing actions. The linear slide rail 514 cooperates with the linear slider on the fixing plate 523 to ensure the stability and guidance of the transport module 52 during movement.

[0059] In this embodiment, a guiding unit 53 is also provided on the flipping mechanism 3, which is a key component to ensure that the product maintains the correct position during flipping and conveying. Figure 5 As shown, the guiding unit 53 mainly consists of two guiding abutments 531 and a guiding drive 532. The two guiding abutments 531 are arranged laterally opposite each other along the conveying direction perpendicular to the transport module 52, forming a pair of abutment structures capable of clamping and guiding the product. Each guiding abutment 531 is connected to an independent guiding drive 532. This design allows the two guiding abutments 531 to be independently adjusted in position as needed.

[0060] The guiding drive component 532 is specifically implemented as a transfer electric cylinder mounted on the flipping frame 31. The transmission part of the transfer electric cylinder is closely connected to the guiding abutment component 531. Through the extension and retraction movement of the electric cylinder, the position and clamping force of the guiding abutment component 531 can be precisely controlled. This design not only achieves efficient product guidance but also ensures the stability and reliability of the guidance process through the precise control of the electric cylinder.

[0061] In practical applications, the guiding unit 53 can flexibly adjust the position and clamping method of the guiding abutment 531 according to the shape, size and conveying requirements of the product to adapt to different production scenarios.

[0062] This embodiment, through the design of the above-mentioned pressing module 51, transport module 52, and guiding unit 53, not only achieves effective pressing and transport of the product, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire transport process through a reasonable mechanical structure and guiding device.

[0063] The flipping conveyor provided by this utility model is a component of the baling machine equipment. It is closely integrated with other parts of the baling machine equipment and shares the control system, power supply system, air supply system, etc. of the baling machine equipment. Through a unified interface and operation instructions, it realizes the coordinated operation of each link and achieves automated production.

[0064] This invention achieves efficient rotation of the flipping frame 31 along a predetermined track on the mounting bracket 1 using gear transmission. Compared to the traditional chain transmission method, this improvement brings significant advantages. In terms of efficiency, the flipping action that originally took 9 seconds can now be completed in only 4 seconds. This improvement significantly shortens the production cycle and increases overall production efficiency.

[0065] Meanwhile, gear transmission not only improves efficiency but also significantly enhances the stability of the tilting frame 31 during the tilting process. The precise meshing of the gears ensures smooth power transmission, reduces swaying and deviation caused by inaccurate transmission, and makes the tilting action smoother and more reliable.

[0066] Furthermore, gear drives are easier to maintain. Compared to chain drives, gear drive components are more robust and durable, reducing the probability of malfunctions. At the same time, gear replacement and repair are relatively simple, lowering maintenance costs and time.

[0067] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.
