Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency mechanism for product flipping. Background Technology

[0002] In existing product processing and assembly processes, the flipping mechanism is an indispensable piece of equipment. However, existing flipping mechanisms still have the following problems in use:

[0003] Common flipping mechanisms typically need to return to their initial position after the flipping action is completed. This process not only consumes additional cycle time and reduces production efficiency, but also often requires an additional power actuator (such as a cylinder) to hold the product in place during the flipping process to ensure its stability and safety. Such a design not only increases the complexity and cost of the equipment, but also limits the applicability and flexibility of the flipping mechanism to some extent.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes an efficient mechanism for product flipping. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing flipping mechanisms, such as the need to return to the initial position during the flipping process, which not only consumes extra time but also requires an additional power mechanism to grip the product. Therefore, this invention proposes a highly efficient mechanism for product flipping.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An efficient mechanism for product flipping, comprising:

[0008] A first support frame and a second support frame, each having a drive cam fixedly mounted on one side of the first support frame and the other having a first rotating shaft passing through it via a bearing on one side of the first support frame and a second rotating shaft passing through it via a bearing on one side of the second support frame.

[0009] It also includes a main body, which is disposed between a first support frame and a second support frame. The main body includes a frame, and the two sides of the frame are respectively fixedly connected to one end of a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The frame has multiple placement slots inside, which are symmetrically arranged and used for placing corresponding products.

[0010] It also includes a telescopic component, which is used to provide corresponding support for multiple products;

[0011] It also includes a flipping component, which is used to drive and limit the flipping of the main body of the mechanism.

[0012] In one possible design, the telescopic assembly includes multiple sliding grooves formed at the top and bottom of the frame, with two adjacent sliding grooves on both sides of the frame engaging with each other. The frame has multiple limiting grooves inside, each pair corresponding to one of the placement grooves and located on both sides of the placement grooves. Each limiting groove extends through two corresponding sliding grooves. Multiple telescopic support blocks are slidably connected inside each of the sliding grooves, each pair corresponding to one of the placement grooves and located on both sides of the placement grooves. These telescopic support blocks provide support and limit the movement of the corresponding products. Each telescopic support block has a limiting inclined groove inside, with corresponding limiting inclined grooves having opposite inclination directions. Two support block pressure plates are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the frame, with each telescopic support block slidably engaging with one side of a corresponding support block pressure plate. These support block pressure plates provide limiting installation for adjacent telescopic support blocks.

[0013] In one possible design, the telescopic assembly further includes multiple sliding holes formed inside the frame. These sliding holes are paired and located on opposite sides of multiple placement slots. Each sliding hole corresponds to an adjacent set of limiting slots. A drive bar is slidably installed inside each sliding hole. Multiple limiting protrusions are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of each drive bar. These limiting protrusions penetrate the corresponding limiting slots and are slidably connected to the inner walls of adjacent limiting grooves, enabling the drive bars to move multiple telescopic support blocks. Connecting blocks are provided at both ends of corresponding drive bars. Each connecting block is fixedly connected to the same end of the two corresponding drive bars via pins. A drive bearing is rotatably embedded on one side of each connecting block. The outer circumferential walls of the drive bearings roll in contact with the arc surface of an adjacent drive cam, driving the two drive bars to move synchronously.

[0014] In one possible design, the flipping assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly installed on one side of the second support frame. A flipping drive cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket. One end of the output shaft of the flipping drive cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft, and is used to drive the second rotating shaft to flip the main body of the mechanism.

[0015] In one possible design, the flipping assembly further includes a limiting rod fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft. Two hydraulic buffers are fixedly installed on one side of the first support frame via a bracket. The outer wall of the limiting rod cooperates with the buffer stops at the top of the two hydraulic buffers to provide limiting and buffering for the flipping of the main body of the mechanism.

[0016] In one possible design, the protrusions of the two corresponding drive cams are staggered to avoid jamming of the drive bar during the flipping process.

[0017] In this application, before flipping, the multiple telescopic support blocks at the bottom can approach each other to support the product placed in the placement slot, while the multiple telescopic support blocks at the top will move away from each other, facilitating the insertion and removal of the product. Then, the user can use the flipping drive cylinder to drive the main body of the mechanism to begin flipping. At this time, under the action of the two drive cams on the left and right sides and the drive bearings, multiple drive bars can move within the sliding holes, and the multiple telescopic support blocks will begin to telescopically move in cooperation with the limiting protrusions and limiting inclined grooves. Furthermore, due to the different inclination directions of the multiple limiting inclined grooves, the multiple telescopic support blocks at the top will move towards the product, while the multiple telescopic support blocks at the bottom will move away from the product. The mechanism moves in the direction of the product; when the main body of the mechanism turns to the vertical position, the ends of the multiple telescopic support blocks on the upper and lower layers are aligned, and as the flipping continues, the multiple telescopic support blocks can continue to move along their respective directions of motion until the limit rod touches the stop of the hydraulic buffer; at this time, the telescopic support block that was originally located on the lower layer has moved to the upper layer and has been fully separated, which can open the placement slot; the telescopic support block that was originally located on the upper layer has moved to the lower layer and has been fully extended, which can provide support for the product in the placement slot; after the flipping is completed, the user can continue to complete the subsequent gripping and placement actions. At this time, the flipping table does not need to turn back to its original position and can directly carry out the next cycle action, which is conducive to the continuous processing.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the efficient mechanism for product flipping does not need to return to the initial position after completing the flipping action, and can directly carry out the next cycle action, thereby reducing cycle time and improving production efficiency; this improvement is particularly suitable for continuous production lines, which is conducive to continuous processing.

[0019] In this utility model, a high-efficiency mechanism for product flipping is described. This flipping mechanism does not require an additional power actuator to grip the product. Instead, it achieves stable support and limiting of the product during the flipping process through the ingenious cooperation of the telescopic component and the flipping component. This not only simplifies the equipment structure and reduces costs, but also avoids damage to the product surface that the gripping mechanism may cause.

[0020] In this utility model, the efficient mechanism for product flipping, through the telescopic movement of the telescopic support block, can achieve stable support and limit of the product, which can avoid the damage to the product surface caused by excessive clamping force of traditional clamping equipment, thus protecting the product quality.

[0021] In this utility model, the high-efficiency mechanism for product flipping uses a hydraulic buffer to limit and buffer the flipping process. This flipping structure can reduce the impact and vibration during the flipping process, and improve the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0022] In this invention, the flipping mechanism does not need to be reset after flipping and can directly proceed to the next cycle of processing, which significantly improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the mechanism does not require an additional gripping device. Through the cooperation of the telescopic component and the flipping component, stable support and limiting during product flipping can be achieved, simplifying the structure, reducing costs, and avoiding product damage. At the same time, the setting of the hydraulic buffer reduces the impact of flipping, improves the stability and lifespan of the equipment, and the overall design effectively protects product quality.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-7 A flipping mechanism, comprising:

[0033] A first support frame 1 and a second support frame 2 are both fixedly mounted with drive cams 3 on their adjacent sides. A first rotating shaft 5 is rotatably threaded through one side of the first support frame 1 via a bearing, while a second rotating shaft 6 is rotatably threaded through one side of the second support frame 2 via a bearing. This design allows the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6 to rotate flexibly.

[0034] The main body 4 is positioned between the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2. Specifically, the main body 4 includes a frame 11, the two sides of which are fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6, respectively. Therefore, when the first rotating shaft 5 or the second rotating shaft 6 rotates, the frame 11 will also rotate accordingly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the frame 11 has multiple placement slots 12 inside, which are symmetrically arranged and used to place the product 13 that needs to be flipped.

[0036] To ensure the stability of product 13 during flipping, this embodiment also includes a telescopic assembly. The telescopic assembly includes multiple sliding grooves 15 formed at the top and bottom of the frame 11. These grooves 15 engage in pairs to accommodate the sliding of telescopic support blocks 18. Simultaneously, multiple limiting grooves 16 are formed inside the frame 11. These limiting grooves 16 are paired and located on both sides of multiple placement slots 12, each penetrating through two corresponding sliding grooves 15. Multiple telescopic support blocks 18 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 15. These telescopic support blocks 18 are paired and located on both sides of multiple placement slots 12, serving to support and limit the product 13. Limiting inclined grooves 19 are formed inside the telescopic support blocks 18, with corresponding limiting inclined grooves 19 having opposite inclination directions.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the telescopic assembly also includes multiple sliding holes 17 formed inside the frame 11. These sliding holes 17 are paired and located on both sides of multiple placement slots 12, corresponding to multiple adjacent limiting slots 16. Drive bars 20 are slidably installed inside each of the multiple sliding holes 17. Multiple limiting protrusions 21 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of these drive bars 20. These limiting protrusions 21 penetrate the corresponding limiting slots 16 and are slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjacent limiting inclined slots 19. Thus, when the drive bars 20 move, the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 can be driven to move via the limiting protrusions 21. Connecting blocks 22 are provided at both ends of corresponding pairs of drive bars 20. These connecting blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the same end of the corresponding two drive bars 20 via pins. Drive bearings 23 are rotatably embedded on the opposite side of the two connecting blocks 22 in the same group. The outer circumferential wall of these drive bearings 23 rolls with the arc surface of one side of the adjacent drive cam 3. Therefore, when the drive cam 3 rotates, it can drive the bearing 23 through its protrusion, thereby pushing the two drive bars 20 to move synchronously.

[0038] This embodiment also includes a flipping assembly. The flipping assembly includes a mounting frame 9 fixedly installed on one side of the second support frame 2, and a flipping drive cylinder 10 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 9. One end of the output shaft of the flipping drive cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 6, so when the flipping drive cylinder 10 works, it can drive the second rotating shaft 6 to flip the main body 4 of the mechanism.

[0039] Furthermore, to ensure the stability and safety of the main body 4 during the flipping process, a limiting rod 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 5 in this embodiment. Simultaneously, two hydraulic buffers 8 are fixedly installed on one side of the first support frame 1 via brackets, and the outer wall of the limiting rod 7 engages with the buffer stops at the top of the two hydraulic buffers 8. Thus, when the main body 4 flips to the predetermined position, the limiting rod 7 contacts the buffer stops of the hydraulic buffers 8, thereby providing limitation and buffering for the flipping of the main body 4.

[0040] This application can be used in the field of processing equipment technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0041] Example 2: Reference Figure 4 , 5 An improvement on Example 1: a high-efficiency mechanism for product flipping, which is applied to the field of processing equipment technology;

[0042] To prevent the drive bar 20 from jamming during the flipping process, in this embodiment, the protrusions of the two drive cams 3 are staggered. This design ensures that during the flipping process, the two drive cams 3 will not simultaneously contact the drive bearings 23 in the same group, thus guaranteeing the smooth operation of the mechanism.

[0043] In addition, two support block pressure plates 14 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the frame 11. These support block pressure plates 14 slide with one side of the telescopic support block 18, which can provide shielding protection for multiple telescopic support blocks 18, and at the same time can further ensure good installation and movement of multiple adjacent telescopic support blocks 18.

[0044] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the tilting drive cylinder 10 and the hydraulic buffer 8 are commonplace and are all conventional means or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows: Before flipping, the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 located at the bottom can approach each other to support the product 13 placed in the placement slot 12, while the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 located at the top will move away from each other, which facilitates the placement and removal of the product 13. Then, the user can use the flipping drive cylinder 10 to drive the main body 4 of the mechanism to start flipping. At this time, under the action of the two drive cams 3 on the left and right and the drive bearing 23, multiple drive bars 20 can move within the sliding hole 17, and the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 will begin to telescopically move under the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 21 and the limiting inclined groove 19. Furthermore, due to the different inclination directions of the multiple limiting inclined grooves 19, the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 located at the top will move towards the product 13, while those located at the bottom... Multiple telescopic support blocks 18 move away from the product 13. When the main body 4 of the mechanism is rotated to a vertical position, the ends of the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 on the upper and lower layers are aligned. As the rotation continues, the multiple telescopic support blocks 18 can continue to move along their respective directions of motion until the limit rod 7 touches the buffer stop of the hydraulic buffer 8. At this time, the telescopic support block 18 that was originally located on the lower layer has been rotated to the upper layer and has been fully separated, which can open the placement slot 12. The telescopic support block 18 that was originally located on the upper layer has been rotated to the lower layer and has been fully extended, which can provide support for the product 13 in the placement slot 12. After the rotation is completed, the user can continue to complete the subsequent gripping and placement actions. At this time, the rotating table does not need to be rotated back to its original position and can directly carry out the next cycle action, which is conducive to the continuous processing.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
