[0029] This application proposes a flipping device. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the flipping device includes: a mounting frame 10; a mounting base 20 disposed on the mounting frame 10, the mounting base 20 having a mounting position for mounting a workpiece, and a first through hole 24 on the mounting position; a pressing member 30 disposed on one side of the mounting base 20 and rotatably connected to the mounting frame 10 to form a first rotation center; a first driving member 40 disposed on the mounting frame 10 for driving the pressing member 30 to flip around the first rotation center, so that the pressing member 30 clamps or releases the workpiece from the mounting base 20; and a second driving member 50 drivenly connected to the mounting frame 10 for driving the mounting frame 10 to flip.
[0030] In this embodiment, the pressing member 30 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting base 20, with the first rotation center located on the side of the mounting base 20. When the pressing member is flipped up, it does not obstruct the space above the mounting base 20, facilitating the insertion of the workpiece into the mounting position of the mounting base 20. Simultaneously, the pressing member 30 is driven to flip by the first driving member 40 on the side of the mounting base 20, allowing it to press against the workpiece in the mounting base 20, thus clamping and fixing the workpiece. There is no sliding contact between the pressing member 30 and the workpiece, preventing damage to the workpiece surface. After the workpiece is fixed, its front side can be processed. Furthermore, the mounting base 20, pressing member 30, and first driving member 40 are all mounted on the mounting frame 10, and the mounting frame 10 is flipped by the second driving member 50. This allows the mounting base 20 and the workpiece to flip simultaneously, enabling processing of the reverse side of the workpiece through the first through hole 24 in the mounting position.
[0031] In some embodiments, the mounting base 20 is further provided with a suction cup 25, and the mounting base 20 is also provided with an air passage communicating with the suction cup 25. In this embodiment, the mounting base 20 includes a substrate 22 and a mounting plate 21 stacked together. The mounting plate 21 is disposed on the substrate 22, and a first through hole 24 penetrates the substrate 22 and the mounting plate 21. The mounting position is constructed on the mounting plate 21. The mounting plate 21 is provided with a receiving hole for mounting the suction cup 25. The suction end of the suction cup 25 is arranged upward and higher than the bottom surface of the mounting position so as to adsorb the workpiece and form a downward pulling force to fix the workpiece to the bottom surface of the mounting position. Further, an air passage can be provided in the substrate 22. The air passage is arranged around the outer periphery of the first through hole 24. The lower end of the suction cup 25 is connected to the air passage. The side wall of the substrate 22 is also provided with a connector 23 communicating with the air passage so as to communicate with an external negative pressure generator. By providing the suction cup 25, it can be ensured that the workpiece can be fixed in the mounting position. Even when the covering member 30 is away from the workpiece, the workpiece can still remain fixed. Meanwhile, the device employs two fixing methods: rotational clamping of the clamping component 30 and adsorption fixation of the suction cup 25. This redundant design prevents the workpiece from detaching from the mounting base 20 due to the failure of one fixing method, thus improving the reliability of the device.
[0032] Furthermore, the suction cup 25 is positioned around the first through hole 24 to ensure comprehensive adsorption of the outer ring area of the workpiece near the edge, ensuring the workpiece receives a balanced adsorption force and preventing damage due to uneven adsorption force, while also ensuring complete adsorption and fixation of the workpiece. In addition, the mounting base 20 is also equipped with a limiting member 26, which is positioned around the mounting position. The limiting member 26 can circumferentially limit the workpiece, preventing it from shaking within the mounting position.
[0033] Furthermore, the flipping device also includes a connecting seat mounted on the mounting bracket 10 and located on one side of the mounting base 20, and a rotating shaft 41 rotatably disposed in the connecting seat. The rotating shaft 41 is coaxial with the first rotation center and is drivenly connected to the first driving member 40. One edge of the covering member 30 is connected to the rotating shaft 41. In this embodiment, the first driving member 40 may be a rotary cylinder. One end of the rotating shaft 41 is connected to the rotary cylinder, and the other end is rotatably disposed on the connecting seat. The covering member 30 is connected to the rotating shaft 41 through a connecting member. Thus, the connecting seat, the connecting member, and the rotating shaft 41 constitute a hinge-like rotating mechanism, which can ensure that the covering member 30 maintains high precision during rotation and can accurately align with the workpiece and the mounting base 20.
[0034] In some embodiments, the pressing member 30 can be configured in a fork-like structure, with its two outwardly extending fork-like portions respectively pressing against the areas corresponding to the opposite two sides of the workpiece, leaving the area in the middle of the two fork-like portions open to expose the workpiece for processing on its front side. Alternatively, the pressing member 30 can be configured in a plate-like structure, and it also has a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole 24. In this case, the pressing member 30 can press against the area of the workpiece near its perimeter, and the second through hole corresponds to the area of the workpiece's front side to be processed. The first through hole 24 and the second through hole are process holes.
[0035] Furthermore, a first buffer layer is provided on the side of the pressure-covering component 30 facing the mounting base 20, and a second buffer layer is also provided on the mounting position. In this embodiment, the first and second buffer layers can be made of foam. The workpiece is clamped between the first and second buffer layers to avoid rigid contact with the mounting base 20 and the pressure-covering component 30, thus preventing damage. In addition, some workpieces may have components or parts on both sides, which cannot be completely fitted with the mounting base 20 and the pressure-covering component 30. By providing buffer layers, the buffer layers can be completely fitted with the surface of the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece remains flat.
[0036] In some embodiments, the second driving member 50 is used to drive the mounting bracket 10 to rotate around the second rotation center, and the first rotation center and the second rotation center are parallel or intersecting. In this embodiment, the two rotation centers can be arranged in parallel or perpendicularly, depending on the actual working conditions.
[0037] Furthermore, the second driving component 50 may be a rotary table, including a base 51, a rotary seat 52 rotatably connected to the base 51, and a motor for driving the rotary seat 52 to rotate. The motor and the rotary seat 52 can be transmitted through some transmission mechanism, such as a gear set or a worm gear mechanism. The mounting frame 10 is disposed on the rotary seat 52. The flipping device also includes a sensor 61 disposed on one side of the base 51 and a sensing plate 62 disposed on the rotary seat 52. The sensor 61 is located on one side of the rotation trajectory of the sensing plate 62. When the sensing plate 62 passes the sensor 61, the electrical signal of the sensor 61 changes. The flipping angle of the rotary seat 52 can be obtained according to the above electrical signal, thereby controlling the mounting frame 10 to flip at a set angle. The flipping angle can be 90° or 180°, which can be adaptively set based on the actual processing process.
[0038] This application also proposes a laser processing equipment, which includes the above-mentioned flipping device. The laser processing equipment also includes a machine base for mounting the flipping device. In this embodiment, the flipping device is set on the machine base and can flip the workpiece. Of course, the laser processing equipment may also include a laser processing head set on the machine base and located above the flipping device. The laser processing head can perform laser engraving, laser welding and other operations on the workpiece in the mounting base 20 below.
[0039] In this embodiment, the working principle of the flipping device and laser processing equipment is as follows: The flipping device and laser processing equipment include a mounting frame 10, a mounting base 20, a pressing component 30, a first driving component 40, and a second driving component 50. The pressing component 30 is rotatably positioned on one side of the mounting base 20, without obstructing the space above the mounting base 20, facilitating the placement of the workpiece into the mounting position of the mounting base 20. Simultaneously, the first driving component 40 on the side of the mounting base 20 drives the pressing component 30 to flip, allowing it to press against the workpiece in the mounting base 20, thus fixing the workpiece. There is no sliding contact between the pressing component 30 and the workpiece, preventing damage to the workpiece surface. After the workpiece is fixed, the front side of the workpiece can be processed. Furthermore, the mounting base 20, the pressing component 30, and the first driving component 40 are all mounted on the mounting frame 10, and the second driving component 50 drives the mounting frame 10 to flip, thereby allowing the mounting base 20 to flip synchronously, enabling processing of the reverse side of the workpiece through the first through hole 24 in the mounting position.
[0040] It is worth noting that the flipping device in this application embodiment is not limited to use in laser processing equipment, but can also be used in some automatic soldering machines. The application of the flipping device in the above scenarios falls within the protection scope of this application. The above are only some or preferred embodiments of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of this application.
