Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular to a flipping device and an automated processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of relatively mature electro-automated machining equipment, parts of various shapes, such as plate-shaped parts, can be moved and assembled using such equipment. Plate-shaped parts often need to be flipped during processing or assembly. Generally, the flipping of plate-shaped parts is achieved by industrial robots in conjunction with suction cups, or by using a flip-up base. However, these flipping devices are bulky, have many usage limitations, and are only compatible with a limited range of products, resulting in a cumbersome overall design of the automated machining equipment, which in turn consumes more manpower and occupies more space.

[0003] Currently, there are some flipping devices that have two flipping components fixedly mounted on a substrate and arranged opposite each other. The flipping components have a structure for fixing the part to be flipped. After fixing the part to be flipped to the flipping components, the flipping components are driven to work. The flipping components rotate and cause the structure fixing the part to be flipped to flip, thereby realizing the flipping of the part to be flipped. However, the above-mentioned flipping devices can only flip parts of a single size. When it is necessary to flip parts of other sizes, the positions of the two flipping components must be redesigned according to the specifications of the parts to be flipped.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flipping device that can flip parts of various specifications. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping device that can flip parts of various specifications.

[0006] Based on the above concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A flipping device, comprising:

[0008] Two clamping mechanisms are arranged opposite to each other. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping drive and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is disposed at the output end of the clamping drive and the clamping drive is used to drive the clamping assembly to open and close.

[0009] The flipping mechanism includes two flipping transmission components, each of which is connected to a clamping mechanism. The flipping transmission components can drive the clamping components to rotate, thereby flipping the workpiece to be flipped.

[0010] The moving mechanism is connected to each of the two flipping transmission components and is used to drive the two flipping transmission components to move in opposite directions or relative to each other in order to adjust the distance between the two clamping components.

[0011] As an alternative to the flipping device, the moving mechanism includes a guide and a moving drive assembly, the moving drive assembly being connected to the flipping mechanism, and the guide and the flipping mechanism being in sliding engagement.

[0012] As an alternative to the flipping device, the moving mechanism includes two moving drive components, which are disposed between the two clamping components, with the output end of each moving drive component facing one of the flipping transmission components.

[0013] As an alternative to the flipping device, the moving mechanism further includes a limiting member disposed at the end of the guide member along its extension direction, the limiting member being able to abut against the flipping transmission assembly.

[0014] As an alternative to the flipping device, the moving mechanism also includes a buffer member, which is provided on the limiting member between the two flipping transmission components, with the buffer end of the buffer member facing the flipping mechanism.

[0023] As an alternative to this flipping device, the axis of the driven wheel is higher than the axis of the driving wheel.

[0024] An automated processing device includes a main body and a flipping device, which is mounted on the main body.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] This invention proposes a flipping device comprising two clamping mechanisms arranged opposite each other. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping drive and a clamping assembly, with the clamping assembly located at the output end of the clamping drive. The clamping drive drives the clamping assembly to open and close. The flipping mechanism includes two flipping transmission assemblies, each connected to a clamping mechanism. The flipping transmission assemblies drive the clamping assemblies to rotate, thereby flipping the workpiece to be flipped. A moving mechanism is connected to both flipping transmission assemblies and drives them to move in opposite directions or relative to each other, adjusting the distance between the two clamping assemblies. By using the clamping mechanisms, workpieces of various thicknesses can be flipped.

This eliminates the need to design different clamps and flipping devices for different workpiece specifications, greatly improving the versatility of the flipping device. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effect achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] This embodiment provides an automated processing equipment that can be applied to automobile manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, shipbuilding, metal processing or home appliance manufacturing, for flipping sheet metal on the production line.

[0041] The automated processing equipment includes a main body and a flipping device. The flipping device is mounted on the main body, enabling the equipment to flip the sheet material. Preferably, in this embodiment, the automated processing equipment also includes a control mechanism. The control mechanism is electrically connected to both the main body and the flipping device, and can transmit electrical signals from the main body to the control mechanism, converting the electrical signals from the main body into electrical signals to control the flipping device, thereby controlling the flipping device and achieving automated flipping of the sheet material.

[0042] In existing flipping devices, both the flipping component and the clamping component are fixedly mounted on the substrate. At the same time, the distance between the two grippers of the clamping component is fixed, which means that the flipping device can only flip parts of fixed specifications. When the flipping component wants to flip parts of other specifications, the flipping component has to be redesigned for the new specifications of the parts to be flipped, which wastes manpower and material resources.

[0043] To improve the versatility of the flipping device, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping device includes a base plate 1, a flipping mechanism 3, a moving mechanism 4, and two clamping mechanisms 2. The flipping mechanism 3 and the moving mechanism 4 are both mounted on the base plate 1. The two clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged opposite to each other. Each clamping mechanism 2 includes a clamping drive 21 and a clamping assembly 22. The clamping assembly 22 is located at the output end of the clamping drive 21, and the clamping drive 21 is used to drive the clamping assembly 22 to open and close. The flipping mechanism 3 includes two flipping transmission assemblies 31, each of which is connected to a clamping mechanism 2. The flipping transmission assembly 31 can drive the clamping assembly 22 to rotate, thereby flipping the object to be flipped. The moving mechanism 4 is connected to two flipping transmission components 31 respectively, and is used to drive the two flipping transmission components 31 to move in opposite directions or relative to each other, so as to adjust the distance between the two clamping components 22. By driving the clamping components 22 to open and close through the clamping drive component 21, the flipping mechanism 3 can flip the workpieces to be flipped with various thicknesses. Through the cooperation between the moving mechanism 4 and the flipping transmission component, the flipping mechanism 3 can flip the workpieces to be flipped with various lengths and widths, realizing the flipping of workpieces to be flipped with various specifications. There is no need to design different clamps and flipping equipment for different specifications of workpieces, which greatly improves the versatility and universality of the flipping mechanism 3.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 includes a guide 41 and a moving drive assembly 42. The moving drive assembly 42 is connected to the flipping mechanism 3. The guide 41 and the flipping mechanism 3 are slidably engaged. The moving drive assembly 42 drives the flipping mechanism 3 to slide on the guide 41. The flipping mechanism 3 slides along the extension direction of the guide 41, thereby realizing that the two flipping transmission assemblies 31 move in opposite directions or relative to each other. This allows the distance between the clamping assemblies 22 to increase or decrease, thereby enabling the clamping assemblies 22 to clamp different specifications of the parts to be flipped, improving the versatility of the flipping device.

[0045] Preferably, such as Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 includes two moving drive components 42, which are disposed on the base plate 1 and between two clamping components 22. The output end of each moving drive component 42 faces a flip transmission component 31. The two moving drive components 42 can independently and precisely control the two flip transmission groups, and can adjust the sliding speed, displacement, etc. of each flip transmission group according to specific needs. Distributing the moving drive components 42 between the two clamping components 22 makes the overall structure more compact and effectively utilizes the internal space of the equipment, making it particularly suitable for working environments with limited space. This avoids the space waste that might result from placing the moving drive components 42 on the outside, making the overall design of the equipment more reasonable. In other embodiments, for example, three, four, or five moving drive components 42 can be provided, as long as they can drive the two flip transmission groups to move towards or away from each other. In other embodiments, the moving drive components 42 can also be disposed on the outside of the flip transmission component 31, as long as they can provide the force to drive the flip transmission component 31 to slide along the extension direction of the guide member 41.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping transmission assembly 31 includes a groove and a guide rail 41. The groove and the guide rail are slidably engaged. One of the groove and the guide rail has a recess forming a concave portion, the extension direction of which is consistent with the extension direction of the guide rail 41. The other has a convex portion that engages with the concave portion, the extension direction of which is the same as the extension direction of the guide rail 41. When the groove and the guide rail slide through the engagement of the concave and convex portions, this structure can precisely limit the sliding direction of the flipping transmission assembly 31. Because the extension directions of the concave and convex portions are the same as the extension direction of the guide rail 41, it can be ensured that the flipping transmission assembly 31 moves in a predetermined direction on the guide rail 41, avoiding offset in other directions, thereby improving the clamping stability of the clamping assembly 22.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the opposite side walls of the slide groove are provided with protrusions, and the opposite side walls of the guide rail that mate with the slide groove are provided with recesses. These features limit movement in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide member 41, preventing the flipping transmission assembly 31 from detaching from the guide member 41 and improving the guiding effect between the flipping transmission assembly 31 and the guide member 41. In other embodiments, the protrusions can be provided on the guide rail, and the recesses can be provided on the opposite side walls of the slide groove, as long as the guiding effect of the guide member 41 on the flipping transmission assembly 31 is improved.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the output end of the moving drive component 42 and the flip transmission component 31 are connected by a plug-in connection. The output end of the moving drive component 42 is plugged into the flip transmission component 31, thus enabling the moving drive component 42. When either the moving drive component 42 or the flip transmission component 31 malfunctions or is damaged, the plug-in connection makes separation between the two very convenient. Maintenance personnel can quickly pull the output end of the moving drive component 42 out of the flip transmission component 31 without using complex tools or performing cumbersome disassembly steps, allowing for individual repair or replacement of the faulty component. This greatly shortens maintenance time, improves equipment maintenance efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs. Since the plug-in connection typically has a specific shape and size, the output end of the moving drive component 42 and the slot of the flip transmission component 31 can be precisely matched, ensuring that the two maintain a fixed relative position during operation. This makes the flipping device more stable and prevents the flip transmission component 31 from sliding freely on the guide member 41, ensuring the working accuracy and reliability of the equipment.

[0049] Preferably, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the extending direction of the guide member 41 is the same as the extending direction of the motion drive component 42. When the motion drive component 42 is working, its output end generates a force. Due to the plug-in relationship, this force is directly transmitted to the flip transmission component 31. Since the extending direction of the guide member 41 is the same as the extending direction of the motion drive component 42, this means that the direction of the force applied by the motion drive component 42 to the flip transmission component 31 is consistent with the direction of movement of the flip transmission component 31 allowed by the guide member 41. According to the relationship between force and motion, when an object is subjected to a force consistent with the extending direction of a certain guide component, the object will move along this direction, enabling the motion drive component 42 to drive the flip transmission component 31 to slide on the guide member 41, thus realizing the two flip transmission components 31 sliding towards or away from each other. In other embodiments, the relationship between the extending direction of the guide member 41 and the extending direction of the motion drive component 42 can be any, as long as it can drive the two flip transmission components 31 to slide towards or away from each other, which will not be elaborated further.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the moving drive component 42 is a first cylinder. The first cylinder can generate a large thrust or pull force with the help of compressed air, which can meet the driving force requirements of parts of different specifications and weights to be flipped. When it is necessary to operate on heavier parts to be flipped, the first cylinder can provide sufficient force to ensure that the flipping transmission component 31 slides smoothly on the guide 41, realizing the opposite or opposite movement of the two flipping transmission components 31, and ensuring the smooth progress of the flipping process. By adjusting the flow rate and pressure of the first cylinder's air intake and exhaust, the movement speed and stroke of the first cylinder piston can be precisely controlled. This allows the sliding speed and position of the flipping transmission component 31 on the guide 41 to be precisely adjusted according to actual needs, satisfying the requirements of the flipping transmission component 31 to clamp and flip parts of different specifications. In other embodiments, the moving drive component 42 can also be an electric push rod or a linear motor, as long as it can drive the flipping transmission component 31 to slide on the guide 41.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, guide members 41 are disposed on both sides of the flipping transmission assembly 31 along its transmission direction. This provides precise linear motion guidance for the flipping transmission assembly 31, ensuring that under the action of the moving drive assembly 42, the flipping transmission assembly 31 slides strictly along the predetermined transmission direction, either towards or away from each other, avoiding deviation or skewness, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the flipping operation. Distributing guide members 41 on both sides also makes the force on the flipping transmission assembly 31 more even and dispersed. During the sliding process of the flipping transmission assembly 31, especially when bearing a heavy load or subjected to significant external forces, the guide members 41 on both sides can share the load, reducing the pressure on individual guide members 41 and lowering the risk of deformation or damage, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire flipping device.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 also includes limiting members 43. Each set of limiting members 43 is disposed at both ends of the guide member 41 along its extension direction. The flipping transmission assembly 31 can abut against the limiting members 43. The limiting members 43 are used to limit the sliding range of the flipping assembly, which can effectively prevent the flipping assembly from sliding excessively on the guide member 41. If the limiting members 43 are not provided, the flipping assembly will be dislodged from the guide member 41. The dislodged flipping assembly is prone to collision with other parts, thereby damaging the equipment and affecting the normal operation of the entire production process.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of limiting members 43 are provided. These two sets of limiting members 43 are respectively disposed on two guide members 41 that are slidably connected to different flipping transmission components 31. Furthermore, the two guide members 41 are on the same side. Each set of limiting members 43 is disposed on both sides of the guide member 41 along its extension direction, thus providing precise limitation on the sliding range of the flipping transmission component 31 on the guide member 41. The fact that the two sets of limiting members 43 are respectively disposed on the same side of different guide members 41 means that the respective sliding limit positions of the two flipping transmission components 31 are clear and precise. This helps to accurately set the movement range of the flipping transmission assembly 31 according to the size and flipping requirements of the part to be flipped in different working scenarios. This ensures that during operation, the flipping transmission assembly 31 can meet the needs of flipping the part without exceeding the safety or operational requirements, preventing equipment damage or operational errors due to excessive movement. The two sets of limiting members 43 are respectively set on the two guide members 41 that are slidably connected to different flipping transmission assemblies 31 and are on the same side. This effectively and precisely limits the sliding range of the two flipping transmission assemblies 31, meeting the normal working requirements of the flipping device and achieving precise control of the movement range of the flipping transmission assembly 31. This ensures the accuracy and safety of the flipping operation without the need for more sets of limiting members 43 to achieve the same function. In other embodiments, three or four sets of limiting members 43 can be provided, as long as they can effectively limit the movement range of the part to be flipped.

[0054] More specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 further includes a buffer 44. The buffer 44 is provided on the limiting member 43 between the two flipping transmission components 31. The buffer end of the buffer 44 faces the flipping transmission component 31. The buffer 44 is elastic. The flipping transmission component 31 can abut against the buffer 44. The buffer 44 can buffer the flipping transmission component 31.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer 44 is a hydraulic buffer 44. When the flip transmission assembly 31 slides towards the limiting member 43, the moving part pushes the piston rod, causing the piston to move within the cylinder. The piston compresses the hydraulic oil. Since the hydraulic oil is almost incompressible, it flows through a pre-set throttling orifice or damping channel inside the cylinder. In this process, the impact energy is converted into the heat and kinetic energy of the hydraulic oil, which is dissipated through damping, thereby slowing down the speed of the moving part and achieving a buffering effect.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the buffer 44 can also be a spring buffer 44, which includes a spring and a stop block. One end of the spring is connected to the limiting member 43, and the other end is connected to the stop block. The spring is generally a cylindrical helical spring. When the equipment is impacted, the flipping transmission assembly 31 contacts the stop block and compresses the spring. Under pressure, the spring undergoes elastic deformation, converting the impact energy into the elastic potential energy of the spring and storing it. As the spring is compressed, the impact force is gradually absorbed. When the impact ends, the spring releases the stored elastic potential energy, allowing the moving parts to return to their original positions, thereby playing a buffering role.

[0057] Specifically, the spring buffer 44 also includes a guide sleeve for accommodating the spring and has a connecting device for easy installation on the limiting member 43. The guide sleeve provides a precise constraint path to prevent the spring from radially shifting, twisting or tilting during extension and retraction. At the same time, the connection between the guide sleeve and the limiting member 43 can also limit the tilting transmission assembly 31.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the buffer 44 is made of an elastic material. When the flipping transmission assembly 31 slides toward the limiting member 43, the moving part contacts the buffer 44, and the buffer 44 undergoes elastic deformation under pressure. The elastic deformation of the buffer 44 absorbs the impact energy and converts it into elastic potential energy within the buffer 44. Similar to the spring buffer 44, after the impact, the buffer 44 returns to its original shape, releasing the elastic potential energy. Exemplarily, the elastic material can be rubber, silicone, or elastic plastic, as long as it can buffer the flipping mechanism 3. In other embodiments, the buffer 44 can also be other structures, as long as it can buffer the flipping transmission assembly 31.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 3 further includes a flipping drive component 32, which is connected to one of the two flipping transmission components 31. The flipping drive component 32 drives the flipping transmission component 31 to rotate the clamping component 22. Manually operating the flipping transmission component 31 often requires a lot of physical strength, especially in frequent and repetitive flipping operations, where the labor intensity is extremely high. However, using the flipping drive component 32 can completely replace manual flipping operations. The operator only needs to monitor the equipment operation, greatly reducing the labor intensity. The flipping drive component 32 typically has a fast response speed and a high operating speed, enabling it to quickly start and stop the flipping action, saving a lot of time compared to manual operation.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figures 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping drive 32 is an angular stroke drive. The angular stroke drive can precisely control the flipping transmission component 31 to rotate to a specific angle, ensuring the accuracy of the flipping angle each time, thereby ensuring product quality. Whether multiple flipping operations are performed in a short period of time or during a long production process, the angular stroke drive can ensure that the angle of each flipping is consistent. Its repeatability positioning accuracy can usually reach a very high level and can generally be controlled within a very small error range, which makes the flipping process more stable and reliable.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 3 further includes a flipping linkage 33, which is a ball bearing guide shaft. The ball bearing guide shaft drives two flipping transmission components 31, synchronously driving their movement. This ensures that the two flipping transmission components 31 maintain a high degree of synchronization during movement, precisely matching the flipping angle, speed, and start / stop time. The ball bearing guide shaft evenly transmits the driving force to the two flipping transmission components 31, allowing them to share the load evenly. When flipping heavier objects, the two flipping transmission components 31 can jointly bear the weight of the object and the force during the flipping process, preventing any single component from bearing excessive pressure. This extends the service life of the flipping transmission components 31 and reduces the risk of equipment failure due to excessive local stress. In other embodiments, the flipping linkage 33 can be of other structures, as long as it can synchronize the operation of the two flipping transmission components 31.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping transmission assembly 31 includes a driving wheel 311, a driven wheel 312, and a transmission belt 313. Both the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312 are mounted on the base plate 1, and the clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on the driven wheel 312. Both the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312 cooperate with the transmission belt 313. The transmission belt 313 is used to transmit the power of the driving wheel 311 to the driven wheel 312, thereby flipping the part to be flipped by the clamping mechanism 2. By replacing manual flipping with a mechanical structure, the reliance on manual labor is reduced, and there is no need to hire a large number of people to perform the flipping operation, thus saving labor costs. The cost-saving effect is more obvious, especially in scenarios of large-scale production or long-term continuous operation. The cooperation of the driving wheel 311, the driven wheel 312, and the transmission belt 313 can achieve rapid power transmission and conversion, enabling the part to be flipped to complete the flipping action at a high speed. Compared with manual flipping, the time of a single flipping operation is greatly shortened, the production cycle is improved, and more flipping tasks can be completed per unit time, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

[0063] Preferably, such as Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312 are provided with toothed grooves, and the inner circumference of the transmission belt 313 is provided with equidistant transverse teeth that mesh with the corresponding toothed grooves of the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312. This meshing design of the toothed grooves and transverse teeth enables a precise transmission ratio between the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312. During transmission, the meshing of each tooth ensures the accuracy of the transmission, allowing the driven wheel 312 to rotate in a precise ratio following the driving wheel 311. This ensures that the flipping angle and speed of the part to be flipped strictly meet the design requirements. The meshing tooth structure effectively reduces slippage during power transmission. Compared with ordinary friction transmission, this meshing transmission method can transmit the power of the driving wheel 311 to the driven wheel 312 with almost no loss, improving power transmission efficiency and ensuring the dynamic stability of the flipping mechanism 3 during operation, enabling the part to be flipped to complete the flipping action quickly and smoothly. In other embodiments, the transmission belt 313 can also be a chain or the like, as long as it can transmit the power of the drive wheel 311 to the driven wheel 312 and thus achieve the flipping of the part to be flipped.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flip transmission assembly 31 also includes a tensioning pulley 314. The tensioning pulley 314 is disposed inside the transmission belt 313 and abuts against the transmission belt 313. The tensioning pulley 314 can move within a certain range in the vertical direction, keeping the transmission belt 313 in a taut state. The vertical movement of the tensioning pulley 314 allows it to automatically adjust its position according to these changes, always maintaining a suitable tension on the transmission belt 313 and ensuring that the transmission belt 313 is always taut. The vertical movement capability of the tensioning pulley 314 can compensate for this wear. By moving within a certain range, it can continuously press against the transmission belt 313, maintaining the normal operation of the transmission system. During the equipment debugging phase, the movable characteristic of the tensioning pulley 314 facilitates the adjustment and optimization of the flip transmission assembly 31 by the staff. By observing the operation of the transmission belt 313, the position of the tensioning pulley 314 can be adjusted manually or with the help of the equipment's control system to quickly find the optimal tension and enable the transmission system to achieve optimal performance.

[0065] Preferably, such as Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the axis of the driven wheel 312 is higher than the axis of the driving wheel 311. Since the two driving wheels 311 are connected by a flipping linkage 33, the flipping linkage 33 inevitably occupies a certain space. If the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312 are on the same height plane, the spatial layout of each component will be more compact. The size and position of the synchronous shaft and the movement trajectory of the component to be flipped will cause potential interference risks between them. Setting the axis of the driven wheel 312 higher than the axis of the driving wheel 311 can change the spatial layout of the entire device. This staggered arrangement makes the driven wheel 312 and its related components and the flipping linkage 33 spatially misaligned. When a larger component to be flipped is to be flipped, its edge will occupy a larger space. The high and low wheel structure raises the driven wheel 312, forming a trapezoidal space that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom between the two wheels, providing sufficient expansion space for the posture changes when flipping large components.

[0066] Preferably, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping drive 21 is a second cylinder, and the clamping assembly 22 includes two C-shaped grippers. The second cylinder includes a pair of oppositely arranged output ends, which can move towards or away from each other. Each output end is connected to a gripper, enabling the grippers to open and close, thereby achieving the clamping function of the workpiece to be flipped. By driving the grippers to open and close through the second cylinder, the workpiece to be flipped is clamped. It can also flip workpieces of different thicknesses, thereby improving the versatility of the flipping device. In other embodiments, the clamping mechanism 2 can also be an adjustable gripper or a magnetic clamp, as long as it can clamp workpieces of multiple specifications.

[0067] Preferably, such as Figures 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a bearing, a ball bearing guide shaft, and a flipping drive 32. The ball bearing guide shaft passes through two drive wheels 311, and the bearing surrounds the ball bearing guide shaft and is positioned between the two drive wheels 311. The flipping drive 32 is connected to one end of the ball bearing guide shaft along its extension direction. The ball bearing guide shaft can drive the two drive wheels 311 to rotate under the drive of the flipping drive 32, causing the driven wheel 312 to follow the drive wheel synchronously, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 2 mounted on the driven wheel 312 to rotate, thus flipping the workpiece to be flipped that is clamped on the clamping mechanism 2. The angular stroke driver outputs angular displacement, driving the shaft connected to it to rotate. The ball bearing guide shaft provides high-precision guidance for linear motion, and the bearing provides high-precision support for rotational motion. Together, they ensure the motion accuracy of the entire mechanical system and reduce friction and wear during rotation. Two drive wheels 311 begin to rotate under the drive of the ball guide shaft. The drive wheels 311 transmit power to the driven wheels 312 through a transmission component. The clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on the driven wheels 312, so that when the flipping drive 32 drives the drive wheels 311 to rotate, it also drives the driven wheels 312 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the part to be flipped. The ball guide shaft provides high-precision guidance for linear motion, ensuring that the drive wheels 311 move along a predetermined linear direction under the drive of the ball guide shaft, making the motion trajectory of the drive wheels 311 stable and accurate, thus ensuring... This improves the accuracy of the entire transmission process, enabling the workpiece to be flipped to rotate at precise positions and angles. The two drive wheels 311 are driven to rotate by the ball bearing guide shaft, and the drive wheels 311 then transmit power to the driven wheel 312 through the transmission component. This transmission method ensures synchronous transmission between the drive wheels 311 and the driven wheels 312, allowing the clamping mechanism 2 to stably drive the workpiece to be flipped without any speed difference or transmission lag between the drive wheels 311 and the driven wheels 312, thus ensuring the consistency and continuity of the workpiece's flipping action.
