Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tooling transport equipment technology, and in particular to a novel simple tilting device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production and transportation equipment, it is often necessary to flip or adjust the angle of objects or equipment. Traditional flipping methods mainly rely on manual handling or simple lever tools, which are inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee flipping accuracy. Especially for fragile items (such as precision instruments), manual flipping can easily cause product damage.

[0003] In existing technologies, for the problem of items needing to be flipped at a specific angle during transportation, such as 90 degrees or 180 degrees, most methods use robotic arms to grasp the items and flip them. However, this requires additional robotic arms, and the required robotic arm equipment is extremely expensive and has a relatively complex structure, resulting in high operating and maintenance costs.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned technologies, there is an urgent need for a simple, easy-to-operate, and highly adaptable flipping device that can ensure basic flipping functions while also taking into account cost-effectiveness and safety, and is particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve ease and flexibility when flipping items, this application provides a novel simple flipping device.

[0006] The novel simple flipping device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel simple flipping device includes: a first transmission mechanism, a second transmission mechanism, and a third transmission mechanism; the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism is opposite to that of the second transmission mechanism; the second transmission mechanism is located below the first transmission mechanism, and the end of the second transmission mechanism near the first transmission mechanism is inclined downward, so that an item is transported from the first transmission mechanism to the second transmission mechanism; a second transmission structure is installed above the third transmission mechanism, and one end of the third transmission mechanism is near the downwardly inclined end of the second transmission mechanism, for transporting an item from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism.

[0008] By employing the above technical solution, two conveying mechanisms with opposite directions are used to flip the items during transport. As the items move from the first conveying mechanism to the second, the first mechanism provides a force towards the second, transporting the items from the first to the second. When one end of the item reaches the second mechanism, the second mechanism provides a downward force, which, combined with the force from the first mechanism, causes the item to flip as it moves from the first to the second, completing a 180-degree flip when it is fully inside the second mechanism. This solution offers flexible item flipping capabilities, ensuring functionality while maintaining cost-effectiveness and safety, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios.

[0009] Optionally, the second transmission mechanism includes a transmission belt and a transmission belt support. The transmission belt is fixedly mounted on the transmission belt support, and the end of the transmission belt near the first transmission mechanism is inclined downward. The transmission belt support is provided with a transmission belt tilt angle limiting guide groove, and the tilt angle of the transmission belt can be adjusted by a limiting guide shaft adapted to the transmission belt tilt angle limiting guide groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a conveyor belt tilt angle limiting guide groove is provided on the conveyor support. When it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the conveyor belt on the second conveyor mechanism, the tilt angle of the conveyor belt can be adjusted by the corresponding limiting guide shaft through the conveyor belt tilt angle limiting guide groove. The tilt angle of the conveyor belt of the second conveyor mechanism is designed to be adjustable to accommodate more sizes of items. The tilt angle of the conveyor belt on the second conveyor mechanism can be adjusted according to the size of the items, so that the items can be better transported from the first conveyor mechanism to the second conveyor mechanism and rotated 180 degrees.

[0011] Optionally, the third transmission mechanism is provided with a support movement restriction position, the transmission belt support is installed on the support movement restriction position, and the transmission belt is fixedly installed above the transmission belt support.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the third transmission mechanism is installed below the second transmission mechanism, which can transport the items that have been flipped 180 degrees to the next operation area. In order to enable the second transmission mechanism to move left and right on the third transmission mechanism, a support movement restriction position is provided on the third transmission mechanism. The transmission belt of the second transmission mechanism is installed at any position on the support movement restriction position, and the transmission belt of the second transmission mechanism is installed above the transmission belt support.

[0013] Optionally, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism is the same as that of the first transmission mechanism, and the transmission force of the second transmission mechanism on the item is greater than the frictional force of the third transmission mechanism on the item, so that the item is transported from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism is consistent with the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism is opposite to the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism. When the item enters the third transmission mechanism from the second transmission mechanism, the second transmission mechanism provides a transmission force to the item, and the third transmission mechanism provides a frictional force to the item. In order to ensure that the item can be completely transferred from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism, the transmission force of the second transmission mechanism on the item needs to be greater than the frictional force of the third transmission mechanism on the item, so as to ensure that the item can be completely transferred from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism.

[0015] Optionally, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism is consistent with the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the third transmission mechanism is used to transfer the items on the second transmission mechanism to the next operating area. The transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism is set to be consistent with the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism to ensure the integrity of the items during the transmission process.

[0017] Optionally, the second transmission mechanism further includes a motor, which is located at the end of the transmission belt away from the first transmission mechanism, and the motor is used to drive the transmission belt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission belt is directly driven by a motor, eliminating the need for additional transmission components (such as chains, gears, or pulleys), reducing mechanical complexity, minimizing potential failure points, and improving system reliability.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. It offers a flexible flipping effect for items, ensuring the flipping function while also considering cost-effectiveness and safety, making it particularly suitable for small to medium batch and multi-variety production scenarios.

[0021] 2. It can accommodate more items of various sizes, and the tilt angle of the conveyor belt on the second transmission mechanism can be adjusted according to the size of the items, so that the items can be better transported from the first transmission mechanism to the second transmission mechanism and rotated 180 degrees.

[0022] 3. A support movement restriction position is provided on the third transmission mechanism, and the conveyor belt of the second transmission mechanism is installed at any position on the support movement restriction position, so that the second transmission mechanism can move left and right on the third transmission mechanism.

[0023] 4. The second transmission mechanism exerts a greater force on the item than the third transmission mechanism exerts a greater frictional force on the item, ensuring that the item can be completely transferred from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism.

[0024] 5. Using a motor to directly drive the transmission belt eliminates the need for additional transmission components (such as chains, gears, or pulleys), reducing mechanical complexity, minimizing potential failure points, and improving system reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a novel, simple flipping device. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 A novel simple flipping device includes a first transmission mechanism 1, a second transmission mechanism 2, and a third transmission mechanism 3.

[0032] Specifically, the item enters the novel simple flipping device from one end (i.e., the beginning end) of the first transmission mechanism 1, and is then transferred by the first transmission mechanism 1 to the second transmission mechanism 1. When the item is transported to the other end (i.e., the end end) of the first transmission mechanism 1, one end of the item leaves the first transmission mechanism 1 and enters the second transmission mechanism 2; at this time, the other end of the item is still on the first transmission mechanism 1. The transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 1 is opposite to that of the second transmission mechanism 2; for example, if the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 1 is from left to right, then the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism 2 is from right to left. One end of the item is on the first transmission mechanism 1, and the other end is on the second transmission mechanism 2. The transmission directions of the first transmission mechanism 1 and the second transmission mechanism 2 are opposite, so that the end of the item on the second transmission mechanism (the item) is subjected to a downward transmission force. The second transmission mechanism 2 is located below the first transmission mechanism 1, so the end of the item on the first transmission mechanism (the item) is subjected to a transmission force towards the second transmission mechanism 2. Therefore, when the item completely enters the second transmission mechanism 2 from the first transmission mechanism 1, the transmission force towards the second transmission mechanism 2 provided by the first transmission mechanism 1 and the downward transmission force provided by the second transmission mechanism 2 are combined to achieve a 180-degree flip of the item.

[0033] After an item is flipped 180 degrees, it needs to be transported to the next operating area, such as for packaging or sealing. When packaging is required, the item is transported to the packaging area; when sealing is required, it is transported to the sealing area. In this embodiment, to facilitate the transport of items to the next operating area, the second transmission mechanism 2 is mounted on the third transmission mechanism 3, with one end of the third transmission mechanism 3 close to the downward-sloping end of the second transmission mechanism 2. After the item is flipped on the second transmission mechanism 2, it enters the third transmission mechanism 3, which then transports it to the next operating area.

[0034] In this embodiment, two conveying mechanisms with opposite directions are used to flip the item during transport. As the item moves from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2, the first conveying mechanism 1 provides a force towards the second conveying mechanism 2, causing the item to be transported from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2. When one end of the item reaches the second conveying mechanism 2, the second conveying mechanism 2 provides a downward force towards the item. This, combined with the force from the first conveying mechanism 1 towards the second conveying mechanism 2, causes the item to flip as it moves from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2, completing a 180-degree flip when the item is fully inside the second conveying mechanism. This solution provides flexible item flipping, ensuring the flipping function while considering cost-effectiveness and safety, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios.

[0035] Optionally, the end of the first transmission mechanism 1 closest to the second transmission mechanism is tilted downwards, so that the item enters the second transmission mechanism 2 more quickly from the first transmission mechanism 1.

[0036] Optionally, the end of the third transmission mechanism 3 away from the second transmission mechanism 2 is tilted upward and is level with the higher end of the first transmission mechanism 1, so that the item returns to its original horizontal height before being transported to the next operating area.

[0037] Optionally, the transmission force of the first transmission mechanism 1 on the item is less than the frictional force of the second transmission mechanism 2 on the item, ensuring that the item can be rotated 180 degrees when it enters the second transmission mechanism 2 from the first transmission mechanism 1.

[0038] Optionally, the first transmission mechanism 1 is also provided with a first tension adjustment component 101 on both sides. When the transmission belt of the first transmission mechanism 1 is too loose, the first tension adjustment component 101 needs to be adjusted so that the transmission belt of the first transmission mechanism 1 is properly tensioned to meet the conditions for conveying items.

[0039] In one embodiment, the second transmission mechanism 2 includes a transmission belt 201, a transmission belt support 202, a transmission belt tilt angle limiting guide groove 203, and a motor 204. The transmission belt 201 is fixedly mounted on the transmission belt support 202, with the end of the transmission belt 201 closest to the first transmission mechanism 1 tilting downwards; this allows the end of the second transmission mechanism 2 closest to the first transmission mechanism 1 to tilt downwards. The transmission belt support 202 is provided with the transmission belt tilt angle limiting guide groove 203, and a limiting guide shaft adapted to the tilt angle of the transmission belt 201 can adjust the tilt angle of the transmission belt 201. The motor 204 is located on the end of the transmission belt 201 furthest from the first transmission mechanism 1, and the motor 204 drives the transmission belt 201.

[0040] Specifically, the conveyor belt bracket 202 can be fixedly installed on the third transmission mechanism 3 or movably installed on the third transmission mechanism 3; the conveyor belt bracket 202 is used to install the conveyor belt 201, the conveyor belt 201 is used to transport items, and the motor 203 is used to drive the conveyor belt 201, so that the conveyor belt 201 transmits power and drives the items to move. Since the end of the conveyor belt 201 near the first transmission mechanism 1 is inclined downward, and the items enter the third transmission mechanism 3 from the end near the first transmission mechanism 1, in this embodiment, the motor 203 is located on the end of the conveyor belt 201 away from the first transmission mechanism 1, so that the motor 203 does not obstruct the items from entering the third transmission mechanism 3 from the second transmission mechanism 2.

[0041] Due to the different sizes of the items, the required tilt angle of the second transmission mechanism 2 is larger when the items to be flipped are larger, and smaller when the items are smaller. To accommodate flipping items of varying sizes, a conveyor belt tilt angle limiting guide groove 203 is provided on the conveyor belt support 202. A limiting guide shaft, adapted to the conveyor belt tilt angle limiting guide groove 203, passes through the groove and connects to the conveyor belt 201. When the guide shaft is rotated, the conveyor belt 201 rotates to adjust its tilt angle. The tilt angle of the conveyor belt 201 ranges from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (excluding 0 and 90 degrees); the tilt angle of the conveyor belt 201 can be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees.

[0042] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt tilt angle limiting guide groove 203 can be configured as an elongated ellipse or a rectangle. The limiting guide shaft passing through the tilt angle limiting guide groove 203 can be fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 201 or movably connected to the conveyor belt 201.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the conveyor belt 201 of the second transmission mechanism 2 is designed to be adjustable to accommodate items of more specifications. This allows the tilt angle of the conveyor belt 201 on the second transmission mechanism 2 to be adjusted according to the specifications of the items, enabling better transport of items from the first transmission mechanism 1 to the second transmission mechanism 2 and a 180-degree rotation. Using a motor 203 to directly drive the conveyor belt eliminates the need for additional transmission components (such as chains, gears, or pulleys), reducing mechanical complexity, minimizing potential failure points, and improving system reliability.

[0044] In one embodiment, the third transmission mechanism 3 is provided with a support movement restriction position 301, the transmission belt support 202 of the second transmission mechanism 2 is mounted on the support movement restriction position 301, and the transmission belt 201 is mounted above the transmission belt support 202. The third transmission mechanism 3 is also provided with third tension adjustment members 302 on both sides, and a conveyor plate 303 is provided at the end of the third transmission mechanism 3.

[0045] Specifically, the third transmission mechanism 3 has a bracket movement restriction position 301 (e.g., a long strip groove) on its frame. The transmission belt bracket 202 of the second transmission mechanism 2 is fixed by bolts and can be locked after being finely adjusted along the groove. Alternatively, a quick-clamp structure can be used, which is suitable for scenarios with frequent disassembly and assembly.

[0046] The conveyor plate 303 is fixed to the end frame of the third transmission mechanism 3 by bolts, so as to realize the smooth transition of the items from the transmission mechanism to the next process (such as the workbench, another equipment or collection area) and avoid the items from getting stuck, tipping or colliding at the end of the transmission mechanism due to drop or speed change.

[0047] Adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt is a key operation to ensure the stable operation of the conveying mechanism and prevent slippage or deviation. Therefore, when the conveyor belt of the third conveying mechanism 3 is too loose, the third tension adjustment component 302 needs to be adjusted so that the conveyor belt of the third conveying mechanism 3 is properly tensioned to meet the conditions for conveying items.

[0048] In this embodiment, the third transmission mechanism 3 is installed below the second transmission mechanism 1, which can transport the items that have been flipped 180 degrees to the next operation area. In order to enable the second transmission mechanism 2 to move left and right on the third transmission mechanism 3, a support movement restriction position is provided on the third transmission mechanism 3. The transmission belt of the second transmission mechanism 2 is installed at any position on the support movement restriction position, and the transmission belt 201 of the second transmission mechanism 2 is installed above the transmission belt support 202.

[0049] In one embodiment, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism 3 is consistent with the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 1, and the transmission force of the second transmission mechanism 2 on the item is greater than the frictional force of the third transmission mechanism 3 on the item, so that the item is transported from the second transmission mechanism 2 to the third transmission mechanism 3.

[0050] Specifically, during the process of transferring an item from the second transmission mechanism 2 to the third transmission mechanism 3, the second transmission mechanism 2 exerts a transmission force (equivalent to a driving force) on the item, while the third transmission mechanism 3 exerts a frictional force (equivalent to a resistance force) on the item. To ensure that the item can directly enter the third transmission mechanism 3 from the second transmission mechanism 2 (transmission direction from right to left) without flipping, the transmission force of the second transmission mechanism 2 on the item is designed to be greater than the frictional force of the third transmission mechanism 3 on the item.

[0051] Optionally, the linear speed of the second transmission mechanism 2 is 10% to 20% faster than that of the third transmission mechanism 3, providing additional power to overcome friction; for example, the transmission speed of the third transmission mechanism is 0.5 m / s, and the transmission speed of the second transmission mechanism 2 is 0.6 m / s.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism 3 is consistent with the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 1, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism 3 is opposite to the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism 2. When the item enters the third transmission mechanism 3 from the second transmission mechanism 2, the second transmission mechanism 2 provides a transmission force to the item, and the third transmission mechanism 3 provides a frictional force to the item. In order to ensure that the item can be completely transferred from the second transmission mechanism 2 to the third transmission mechanism, the transmission force of the second transmission mechanism 2 on the item needs to be greater than the frictional force of the third transmission mechanism 3 on the item, so as to ensure that the item can be completely transferred from the second transmission mechanism to the third transmission mechanism.

[0053] In one embodiment, the transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism 3 is consistent with the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism 2.

[0054] Specifically, the speed of the third transmission mechanism 3 is usually slightly slower than or equal to that of the second transmission mechanism 2, ensuring that the item smoothly leaves the second transmission mechanism 2 and enters the later stage, avoiding the item being pulled.

[0055] The third transmission mechanism 3 is designed to transfer items from the second transmission mechanism 2 to the next operating area. The transmission direction of the third transmission mechanism 3 is set to be consistent with that of the second transmission mechanism 2 (e.g., both from left to right). This prevents items from shifting, piling up, or getting stuck due to sudden changes in direction during the transfer process, which is especially important for fragile or irregularly shaped items.

[0056] The implementation principle of a novel simple flipping device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: using two transmission mechanisms with opposite transmission directions, the item is flipped during the conveying process; during the process of the item entering the second transmission mechanism 2 from the first transmission mechanism 1, the first transmission mechanism 1 provides a transmission force to the item towards the second transmission mechanism 2, so that the item is conveyed from the first transmission mechanism 1 to the second transmission mechanism 2; when one end of the item reaches the second transmission mechanism 2, the second transmission mechanism 2 provides a downward transmission force to the item, which, combined with the transmission force provided by the first transmission mechanism 1 towards the second transmission mechanism 2, causes the item to flip during the process of entering the second transmission mechanism 2 from the first transmission mechanism, so that the item is completely flipped when it enters the second transmission mechanism, completing a 180-degree flip.

[0057] 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.
