Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, and in particular to an in-situ sheet metal flipping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Boards are sheet-like materials, with common examples including wood boards of various thicknesses and sizes. During board processing, flipping is frequently required, but due to their large surface area and weight, flipping is difficult, especially in confined spaces where movement is limited, further complicating the process. While some board flipping machines can assist, they require significant space and manual labor, merely alleviating labor intensity without addressing the root cause. Therefore, developing a board flipping machine capable of operating within confined spaces is essential.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, a special in-situ flipping machine has been provided to solve the technical problem of the difficulty in flipping boards in a confined space.
[0004] In addition, current flipping machines still have some drawbacks, such as the need for manual alignment and placement, which makes operation relatively troublesome, and they are also difficult to adapt to boards of different thicknesses, which need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an in-situ flipping machine to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to flip boards in a narrow space.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

The bottom frame is equipped with bottom rollers, the flipping body is placed on the bottom rollers, and the bottom frame is equipped with a transmission chain drive.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within 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.
[0032] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an in-situ flipping machine includes a bottom frame 6, a flipping body 14 and two conveyors. A bottom roller 12 is provided on the bottom frame 6, and the flipping body 14 is placed on the bottom roller 12. A chain drive 9 is provided on the bottom frame 6, and the chain drive 9, together with the transmission chain 7, is used to provide rotational power to the flipping body 14.
[0033] The flipping body 14 includes two parallel circular frames 3 arranged longitudinally, and two connecting frames 2 connected between the two circular frames 3. The two connecting frames 2 are a first connecting frame 10 and a second connecting frame 11, which are parallel to each other. The two conveyor belts are a first conveyor 4 and a second conveyor 5. The second conveyor 5 is fixed inside the second connecting frame 11. The first connecting frame 10 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal adjustment components 17, which are connected to the second conveyor 5.
[0034] The connecting frame 2 has a groove 1 along the circumference. Two fixed end plates 8 are set in the groove 1. The transmission chain 7 is located in the groove 1 and both ends of the transmission chain 7 are fixed on the two fixed end plates 8 respectively.
[0035] The transmission chain 7 is set in the groove 1, and the groove 1 has a limiting effect on it, making it difficult to be displaced.
[0036] The bottom rollers 12 are provided in two sets, with two rollers in each set. The two sets of bottom rollers 12 are respectively matched with the grooves 1 of the two circular frames 3 and are rolled together.
[0037] The bottom roller 12 is matched with the groove 1 and is rolled together, which helps to improve the stability of the overall equipment during operation and makes it less likely to derail or become displaced.
[0038] The two sides of the groove 1 are circular frame side plates, and two sets of limiting rollers 13 are provided on the bottom frame 6. The two sets of limiting rollers 13 are used to limit the two circular frames 3 respectively. The limiting rollers 13 are located inside the circular frame side plates of their corresponding circular frames 3.
[0039] The longitudinal adjustment assembly 17 includes a cylinder mounting base 28 and an adjusting cylinder 27. The adjusting cylinder 27 is fixed on the cylinder mounting base 28. The piston end of the adjusting cylinder 27 passes downward through the cylinder mounting base 28 and is connected to a connecting plate 26. The connecting plate 26 is connected to a connecting beam 16. The two ends of the connecting beam 16 are fixedly connected to the first conveyor 4 by connecting feet 15.
[0040] Two longitudinal adjustment components 17 are provided on each side of the first connecting frame 10. The two longitudinal adjustment components 17 on the same side are connected to the same connecting beam 16. Two connecting plates 26 are located at the two ends of the connecting beam 16 respectively.
[0041] Two synchronization components are provided on the connecting crossbeam 16. The synchronization components on the two connecting crossbeams 16 are positioned correspondingly. The two synchronization components on the same connecting crossbeam 16 share the same rotating rod 20. The synchronization component includes a fixed seat, a first connecting rod 25, a bearing seat 24, and a rotating component 21. The fixed seat is fixed on the connecting crossbeam 16, and the bearing seat 24 is fixed on the first connecting frame 10. A rotating rod 20 is provided between the two bearing seats 24. A rotating component 21 is provided on the rotating rod 20. The rotating component 21 includes a first connecting part 19 and a second connecting part 18.

[0043] This design can be referenced. Figure 5 , Figure 6 Synchronous components and other structures work together to form a synchronous transmission system, that is... Figure 5 This ensures that the movement of the four ends remains consistent, and with the bearing housing 24 fixed in position, the adjustment range of each longitudinal adjustment component 17 is the same.
[0044] Working principle: Align the sheet material and place it between the first conveyor 4 and the second conveyor 5 (generally, the first conveyor 4 and the second conveyor 5 are placed horizontally, and the sheet material is placed on the second conveyor 5). Then, drive the chain to drive the flipping body 14 to rotate through the transmission chain 7 to complete the flipping of the sheet material. Both conveyors have their own drive devices. During the feeding and discharging process, the conveyors assist the sheet material in input and output, reducing the intensity of manual labor.
[0045] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0046] This flipping machine can flip boards in place. During operation, only manual alignment is required, and the boards can be sent into the flipping machine by a conveyor for in-place rotation flipping. Not only is flipping time-saving and labor-saving, but the flipping machine also occupies little space. It can also flip boards in relatively narrow spaces, solving the technical problem that boards are difficult to flip in narrow spaces.
[0047] In addition, this solution has a longitudinal adjustment component, which can adapt to plates of different thicknesses, thus improving its adaptability. Furthermore, this solution has a synchronous design consisting of two synchronization components and related structures, which can ensure that the first conveyor remains parallel to the second conveyor. In particular, it can keep the first conveyor in a flat position during feeding, which helps to maintain the plate's condition and effectively prevents the plate from slipping.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
