[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example: Referring to Figures 1-7, a U-shaped plate frame flipping mechanism includes: a conveyor frame 1, with a conveyor platform 11 below the conveyor frame 1 for moving a U-shaped plate frame 12, on which several plates 14 are vertically inserted; multiple sets of conveyor shafts 13 for conveying the plates 14 are rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame 1, each of the conveyor shafts 13 being equipped with multiple sets of conveyor rollers; a flipping mechanism, disposed on the conveyor frame 1, for transferring the plates 14 on the U-shaped plate frame 12 to the conveyor shafts 13; the flipping mechanism includes a lifting component 3 and a flipping component 2, the lifting component 3 for inserting the plates 14 into the flipping component 2, and the flipping component 2 for driving the plates 14 to flip, so that they are stably placed on the conveyor shafts 13. In this embodiment, a motor for driving the conveyor shafts 13 to rotate is installed on the conveyor frame 1.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In specific use, the U-shaped plate frame 12 with the plate 14 inserted is placed on the conveying platform 11. Then, the U-shaped plate frame 12 is conveyed to the lifting station by the conveying platform 11. Then, the plate 14 is lifted by the lifting component 3 so that the plate 14 is inserted into the flipping component 2. When the plate 14 moves to the upper end of the lifting component 3 (the lower end of the plate 14 is flush with the horizontal plane shown in Figure 7), the flipping component 2 rotates synchronously, causing the plate 14 to rotate 90°, so that the plate 14 can be placed smoothly on the conveying shaft 13. Then, the motor drives the conveying shaft 13 to rotate, thereby moving the plate 14 and transferring the plate 14 away.
[0027] As a further embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a pair of lifting mounting seats 31 installed on the lower half of the conveyor frame 1. A lifting rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted between the lifting mounting seats 31. Drive pulleys 33 are fixed on both sides of the lifting rotating shaft 32. A driven pulley 39 is also rotatably mounted on the flip plate assembly 2. A lifting belt 34 is fitted between the driven pulley 39 and the corresponding drive pulley 33. Multiple sets of lifting hooks 35 are also installed on the lifting belt 34. A lifting motor 38 for driving the lifting rotating shaft 32 is also installed on the lifting mounting seats 31. To better lift the plate 14, a lifting seat plate 36 is also installed on the conveyor frame 1. Multiple sets of lifting rollers 37 are rotatably mounted on the lifting seat plate 36 corresponding to the position of the lifting belt 34. By setting the lifting rollers 37, friction between the plate 14 and the lifting belt 34 can be effectively prevented, reducing the possibility of damage to the plate 14.
[0028] The working principle of the lifting assembly 3 is as follows: When the U-shaped plate frame 12 moves to the lifting position, the lifting hook 35 is located below the plate 14. Then, the lifting motor 38 is started, which drives the lifting rotating shaft 32 to rotate, thereby driving the drive pulley 33 to rotate. With the help of the driven pulley 39 and the lifting belt 34, the lifting hook 35 can be moved, so that the lifting hook 35 supports the plate 14 from both sides of the bottom, and drives the plate 14 to move upward, thereby inserting the plate 14 into the flipping assembly 2, which facilitates the subsequent flipping operation.
[0029] As a further embodiment, the flip-plate assembly 2 includes a flip-plate rotating shaft 21 rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame 1. A flip-plate motor 23 for driving the flip-plate rotating shaft 21 is also mounted on the conveyor frame 1. A flip-plate frame 22 is fixed on the flip-plate rotating shaft 21. An auxiliary component is provided on the side of the flip-plate frame 22 closest to the conveyor rotating shaft 13, and a limit component is provided on the side of the flip-plate frame 22 away from the conveyor rotating shaft 13. The auxiliary component includes multiple sets of auxiliary rotating shafts 24 rotatably mounted on the flip-plate frame 22, and multiple sets of auxiliary rollers 25 are mounted on each of the auxiliary rotating shafts 24. The limit component includes a limit beam 26 mounted on the flip-plate frame 22, and multiple sets of limit mounting strips 27 are mounted on the limit beam 26. Multiple sets of limit rollers 28 are rotatably mounted on each of the limit mounting strips 27. In this embodiment, the driven pulley 39 is rotatably mounted on the flip-plate rotating shaft 21, and flip-plate rollers 29 are also rotatably mounted on the flip-plate rotating shaft 21.
[0030] Working principle of the flip plate assembly 2: When the lifting assembly 3 pushes the plate 14 upward, the flip plate roller 29 can guide the plate 14, making it easy for the plate 14 to be inserted between the limiting assembly and the auxiliary assembly. By setting the auxiliary roller 25 and the limiting roller 28, the sliding friction on both sides of the plate 14 can be effectively prevented, reducing the possibility of damage to the plate 14. When the lower end of the plate 14 moves to the flipping station (the horizontal plane shown in Figure 7), the flip plate motor 23 and the lifting motor 38 rotate at the same frequency. At this time, the flip plate rotating shaft 21 drives the flip plate frame 22 to rotate, thereby driving the plate 14 to rotate 90°, so that it is placed stably on the conveying rotating shaft 13, making it easy to transfer the plate 14 away. By setting the flip plate motor 23 and the lifting motor 38 to rotate at the same frequency, the lifting hook 35 can support the bottom of the plate 14, effectively preventing the plate 14 from slipping.
[0031] As a further solution, the flip-plate frame 22 is provided with a slot corresponding to the position of the conveyor shaft 13. By providing the slot, when the flip-plate frame 22 rotates to the horizontal position, it does not affect the normal rotation of the conveyor shaft 13.
[0032] In this utility model, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "side", and "bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only used to facilitate the description of the structural relationship between the various components or elements of this utility model and do not specifically refer to any component or element in this utility model. They should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
