[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blister tray processing technology, and more specifically, to a flipping device for blister tray processing. Background Technology

[0002] Blister trays, widely used in electronics, food, and medical device industries, typically undergo a manufacturing process that includes sheet heating and forming, cooling and shaping, trimming, and flipping / stacking. Flipping involves turning the formed blister tray to a designated orientation to facilitate subsequent printing, labeling, or stacking packaging operations.

[0003] A search revealed a prior art disclosure of a wooden pallet production flipping mechanism, with patent publication number CN218173753U. The specification states that after the wooden pallet is clamped and fixed in a rectangular frame by a clamping mechanism, the rectangular frame and the wooden pallet can be flipped synchronously by a flipping mechanism to process the front and back of the wooden pallet. The overall structure is simple, the operation is simple and quick, the work efficiency is high, and the production and maintenance costs are low, making it suitable for large-scale production.

[0004] However, in actual use, although the above-mentioned flipping mechanism has the advantages of simple operation and high work efficiency, the lack of an effective positioning mechanism during operation can easily cause the pallet to shift or become misaligned, thus affecting the effectiveness of the mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a flipping device for processing blister trays, so as to solve the problem that the lack of an effective positioning mechanism in the prior art can easily lead to tray displacement or misalignment, thereby affecting the use effect of the mechanism.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flipping device for processing blister trays, comprising a flipping device body and two support frames, two movable grooves are opened in the middle of the support frames, movable plates are slidably connected to the inner walls of the movable grooves, clamps are installed on the adjacent sides of the movable plates on both the left and right sides, a bidirectional lead screw is inserted into the middle of the support frame, and a knob is installed at the front end of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0007] The support frame has an auxiliary groove on its inner front side, and the inner wall of the auxiliary groove has multiple slots. The bidirectional lead screw has a sliding groove on its inner front side, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to two connecting plates. An elastic element is installed between each pair of connecting plates, and a plug rod is installed on the opposite side of the upper and lower connecting plates.

[0008] The upper and lower inserts are connected to the inner wall of the middle slot, with the two ends of the inserts passing through a bidirectional lead screw.

[0009] The elastic element is installed on the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0010] Two mounting slots are provided on the adjacent side of each of the front and rear clamping plates. An elastic insert plate is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting slot, and a rubber pad is installed on the adjacent side of each of the two elastic insert plates on the front and rear sides.

[0011] The rubber pads on both the front and rear sides are in contact with the clamping plate on opposite sides, and the elastic insert plate is in an elastic deformation state on the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0012] The front end of the bidirectional lead screw passes through the front side of the support frame, and the rear end is rotatably connected to the inner rear side of the support frame. The movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw, and the opposite sides of the left and right clamping plates are both in contact with the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] In the above solution, the bidirectional lead screw is driven by rotating the knob, which drives the front and rear clamping plates to accurately position the blister tray.

[0024] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a flipping device for processing blister trays, including a flipping device body 1 and two support frames 2. Two moving grooves 5 are opened in the middle of the support frame 2. Moving plates 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving grooves 5. Clamping plates 3 are installed on the adjacent side of the left and right moving plates 13. A bidirectional screw 4 is inserted into the middle of the support frame 2. A knob 14 is installed at the front end of the bidirectional screw 4. The front end of the bidirectional screw 4 passes through the front side of the support frame 2, and the rear end is rotatably connected to the rear side of the support frame 2. Thus, by rotating the bidirectional screw 4, the clamping plates 3 on the front and rear sides move towards each other to position the blister tray and prevent it from shifting. The moving plates 13 are threaded to the outside of the bidirectional screw 4. The opposite side of the clamping plates 3 on the left and right sides is in contact with the support frame 2, thus facilitating the synchronous movement of the clamping plates 3 on the front and rear sides.

[0026] In use, first turn the knob 14 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the front and rear moving plates 13 to move towards each other along the inner wall of the moving groove 5, and driving the clamping plate 3 to move synchronously to adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping plates 3. Then, the blister tray can be placed between the front and rear clamping plates 3 and kept in close contact with the rubber pad 6 to increase the friction between the blister tray and the rubber pad 6. At the same time, the clamping mechanism is used to clamp it to prevent it from shifting or deviating during the flipping process.

[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to lock the bidirectional lead screw 4 and prevent it from rotating, an auxiliary groove 8 is provided on the front side of the support frame 2. Multiple slots 7 are provided on the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 8. A sliding groove 10 is provided on the front side of the bidirectional lead screw 4. Two connecting plates 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 10. The connecting plates 12 play a limiting role, thereby preventing the insertion rod 9 from disengaging from the bidirectional lead screw 4. An elastic element 11 is installed between each pair of connecting plates 12. Insertion rods 9 are installed on the opposite sides of the upper and lower connecting plates 12. The opposite ends of the upper and lower insertion rods 9 pass through the bidirectional lead screw 4 and are inserted into the inner wall of the middle slot 7. The elastic element 11 is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 10, thereby using the elastic force of the elastic element 11 to push one end of the insertion rod 9 to always maintain the insertion state between the insertion rod and the slot 7, thereby preventing the bidirectional lead screw 4 from rotating.

[0028] During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4, it simultaneously drives the upper and lower insert rods 9 to push against the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 8, and gradually retracts to the inner wall of the slide groove 10. It also drives the upper and lower connecting plates 12 to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 10, and compresses the elastic element 11 on the inner wall of the slide groove 10. During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4, the two insert rods 9 will be inserted into the slots 7 one by one. After the front and rear clamps 3 are adjusted, the bidirectional lead screw 4 stops rotating. The elastic force of the elastic element 11 is used to push the two connecting plates 12 to move in opposite directions, and drive one end of the insert rod 9 to keep inserted into the inner wall of its corresponding slot 7, thereby preventing the bidirectional lead screw 4 from rotating on its own, so as to increase the reliability of the flipping device body 1.

[0029] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to increase the friction between the clamping plate 3 and the blister tray and facilitate future replacement, two mounting grooves 15 are opened on the adjacent side of the clamping plates 3 on both the front and rear sides. Elastic insert plates 16 are inserted into the inner wall of the mounting grooves 15. Rubber pads 6 are installed on the adjacent side of the two elastic insert plates 16 on both the front and rear sides. The opposite side of the rubber pads 6 on both the front and rear sides is in contact with the clamping plate 3. The elastic insert plates 16 are in an elastic deformation state on the inner wall of the mounting grooves 15, thereby using the elastic insert plates 16 to fit the rubber pads 6 and the clamping plates 3 for subsequent replacement.

[0030] After prolonged use, the rubber pad 6 will experience significant wear. At this point, simply pull the rubber pad 6 upwards, causing the two elastic inserts 16 on one side to slide upwards along the inner wall of the mounting groove 15 and gradually detach from the clamp 3. Then, the rubber pad 6 can be replaced. After replacement, reset the rubber pad 6 and insert the elastic inserts 16 into the inner wall of the mounting groove 15. At this time, the elastic inserts 16 are compressed and undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the friction between the rubber pad 6 and the clamp 3, which facilitates subsequent replacement by operators.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] In use, first turn knob 14 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the front and rear moving plates 13 to move towards each other along the inner wall of the moving groove 5, and driving the clamping plates 3 to move synchronously to adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping plates 3. During this process, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4 will synchronously drive the upper and lower insert rods 9 to push against the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 8, and gradually retract to the inner wall of the slide groove 10, and will drive the upper and lower connecting plates 12 to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 10, and squeeze the elastic element 11 in a compressed state on the inner wall of the slide groove 10. During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4, the two insert rods 9 will Insert the two connecting plates 12 into the slots 7 one by one. After the front and rear clamping plates 3 are adjusted, the double-acting screw 4 stops rotating. The elastic force of the elastic element 11 is used to push the two connecting plates 12 to move in opposite directions and drive one end of the insertion rod 9 to be inserted into the inner wall of the corresponding slot 7. This prevents the double-acting screw 4 from rotating on its own, thereby increasing the reliability of the flipping device body 1. Then, the blister tray can be placed between the front and rear clamping plates 3 and kept in contact with the rubber pad 6. At the same time, the clamping mechanism is used to clamp it to prevent it from shifting or deviating during the flipping process.

[0033] After prolonged use, the rubber pad 6 will experience significant wear. At this point, simply pull the rubber pad 6 upwards, causing the two elastic inserts 16 on one side to slide upwards along the inner wall of the mounting groove 15 and gradually detach from the clamp 3. Then, the rubber pad 6 can be replaced. After replacement, reset the rubber pad 6 and insert the elastic inserts 16 into the inner wall of the mounting groove 15. At this time, the elastic inserts 16 are compressed and undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the friction between the rubber pad 6 and the clamp 3, which facilitates subsequent replacement by operators.
