Traditional conveying devices have limited functionality, making it difficult to achieve workpiece flipping and transfer, and thus failing to meet the needs of complex processing flows.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0022] The workpiece conveying device of this utility model embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the workpiece conveying device of this utility model embodiment may include...
[0024] It includes a conveying mechanism 1, a turntable 2 and a rotating platform 3. The turntable 2 is mounted on the rotating platform 3, and the rotating platform 3 is driven to rotate by an output motor 7.
[0025] Multiple lifting cylinders 4 are evenly distributed around the turntable 2. The piston rod end of each lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the rotating cylinder 5 through a detachable adapter plate.
[0026] The rotating shaft end of the rotary cylinder 5 is connected to the gripper cylinder 6. The gripper cylinder 6 includes a clamping block 8 and a stabilizing block 9 arranged opposite each other. The clamping surfaces of the clamping block 8 and the stabilizing block 9 are provided with anti-slip textures.
[0027] The output end of the conveying mechanism 1 corresponds to the initial position of the gripper cylinder 6 on the turntable 2.
[0028] Specifically, the turntable 2 is mounted on a rotating platform 3, which is driven to rotate by an output motor 7, providing rotational power to the turntable 2. Multiple lifting cylinders 4 are evenly distributed around the turntable 2. The piston rod end of each lifting cylinder 4 is connected to a rotating cylinder 5 via a detachable adapter plate, enabling power transmission between the lifting cylinder 4 and the rotating cylinder 5. The rotating shaft end of the rotating cylinder 5 is connected to a gripper cylinder 6. The gripper cylinder 6 includes opposing gripping blocks 8 and stabilizing blocks 9, both with anti-slip textures on their gripping surfaces for stable gripping of the workpiece 10. The output end of the conveying mechanism 1 corresponds to the initial position of the gripper cylinder 6 on the turntable 2, ensuring that the workpiece 10 delivered by the conveying mechanism 1 accurately reaches the gripping range of the gripper cylinder 6.
[0029] In one embodiment of this application, the adapter plate is connected to the piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 4 and the rotary cylinder 5 by bolts.
[0030] Specifically, this connection method facilitates disassembly and assembly. When a component is damaged, the adapter plate can be quickly disassembled to repair or replace the lifting cylinder 4 or the rotating cylinder 5, thereby improving equipment maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance difficulty.
[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the anti-slip texture is an interlaced grid pattern.
[0032] Specifically, the grid pattern increases the friction between the clamping surface and the workpiece 10. Even if the workpiece surface is smooth, the interlocking effect of the pattern can achieve stable clamping, prevent the workpiece from slipping during the transfer process, and ensure the safety of the transfer.
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, a sensor is provided on the cylinder body of the gripper cylinder 6.
[0034] Specifically, the sensor is used to detect whether the gripper cylinder 6 has gripped the workpiece 10. When the gripper block 8 and the stabilizing block 9 grip the workpiece 10, the sensor feeds back a signal to the control system, which facilitates the logical control of subsequent actions of the equipment. If the workpiece is not gripped, an alarm is triggered or the conveying process is stopped, thereby improving the automation level and reliability of the device.
[0035] In one embodiment of this application, a magnetic switch is provided on the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 4.
[0036] Specifically, the sensor is used to detect whether the gripper cylinder 6 has gripped the workpiece 10. When the gripper block 8 and the stabilizing block 9 grip the workpiece 10, the sensor feeds back a signal to the control system, which facilitates the logical control of subsequent actions of the equipment. If the workpiece is not gripped, an alarm is triggered or the conveying process is stopped, thereby improving the automation level and reliability of the device.
[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the rotation angle range of the rotary cylinder 5 is 0°-360°.
[0038] Specifically, the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder 5 can be precisely set through the control system, so that the gripper cylinder 6 can flip the workpiece 10 to any angle according to the processing requirements, adapting to diverse workbench operation requirements, and is especially suitable for workpiece transfer scenarios that require multi-angle processing.
[0039] Specifically, in actual operation, the turntable 2 is mounted on a rotating platform 3, which is driven to rotate by an output motor 7, providing rotational power to the turntable 2. Multiple lifting cylinders 4 are evenly distributed around the turntable 2. The piston rod end of each lifting cylinder 4 is connected to a rotating cylinder 5 via a detachable adapter plate, enabling power transmission between the lifting cylinder 4 and the rotating cylinder 5. The rotating shaft end of the rotating cylinder 5 is connected to a gripper cylinder 6, which includes opposing gripping blocks 8 and stabilizing blocks 9. The gripping surfaces of both have anti-slip textures for stable gripping of the workpiece 10. The output end of the conveying mechanism 1 corresponds to the initial position of the gripper cylinder 6 on the turntable 2, ensuring that the workpiece 10 delivered by the conveying mechanism 1 accurately reaches the gripping range of the gripper cylinder 6.
[0040] In summary, the workpiece conveying device of this utility model embodiment achieves precise transfer of workpieces between different workbenches through a multi-dimensional motion mechanism, and can flexibly adjust the workpiece posture to adapt to diverse processing needs.
