Description

A steel plate flipping device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel plate processing technology, specifically a steel plate flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] After the steel plate is processed, both surfaces need to be inspected and polished. This means that after inspecting and polishing one side of the steel plate, it needs to be flipped over to inspect and polish the other side. However, steel plates are generally large and heavy, making flipping them difficult. Relying solely on manual flipping is inefficient. Furthermore, care must be taken to avoid scratching the steel plate surface during the flipping process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel plate flipping device that can efficiently and conveniently flip steel plates. During the flipping process, the steel plate will not be damaged by scratches or other damage. The flipping frame has good rigidity and synchronization. The hinge shaft of the flipping frame is short, making it easy to process and install.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A steel plate flipping device includes a base and two flipping assemblies. Each flipping assembly includes a flipping frame and multiple rollers that are rotatably mounted on the flipping frame. When the steel plate is supported on the flipping assembly, it contacts the rollers. One end of the flipping frame is hinged to the base, allowing the flipping frame to rotate relative to the base around a rotation axis. When the two flipping frames rotate, the included angle between them changes within a horizontal angle range, so that the steel plate supported on one flipping assembly is transported to the other flipping assembly and flipped.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0007] The flipping frame is a frame structure, including two parallel and spaced vertical sections and multiple horizontal sections. The two ends of the horizontal sections are respectively connected to the two vertical sections. At least one end of two horizontal sections is hinged to the base. The length direction of the vertical sections is parallel to the axis of the rotation shaft.

[0008] The central axis of the roller is parallel to the axis of rotation.

[0009] The vertical section includes two parallel, spaced-apart elongated first plate-like members and multiple spaced-apart first connecting plates. The two ends of the first connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to the two first plate-like members. Multiple rollers are installed on the vertical section along its length. The two ends of the rollers on the vertical section are respectively rotatably mounted on the two first connecting plates.

[0010] The horizontal section includes two parallel, spaced-apart elongated second plate-shaped members and multiple spaced-apart second connecting plates. The two ends of the second plate-shaped members are respectively connected to two vertical sections, and the two ends of the second connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to two second plate-shaped members. Multiple rollers are installed on the horizontal section along its length, and the two ends of each roller on the horizontal section are rotatably mounted on two second plate-shaped members.

[0011] The flipping assembly also includes multiple auxiliary support members for supporting the tilted steel plate. The auxiliary support members are L-shaped. Each auxiliary support member of the flipping assembly is connected to the end of the flipping frame of the flipping assembly that is closer to another flipping assembly. One end of the auxiliary support member is connected to the flipping frame, and the other end protrudes from the plane where the flipping frame is located.

[0012] The flipping device also includes at least two driving components, and each flipping frame is driven to rotate by at least one driving component.

[0013] The driving component is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] The base is provided with a hinge seat for hinged to the horizontal part.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can efficiently and conveniently flip steel plates. During the flipping process, due to the presence of rollers and pads, the steel plates are basically not damaged by scratches or other damage; the flipping frame is formed by the fixed connection of horizontal and vertical parts to ensure good rigidity and synchronization of the flipping frame; the flipping frame is hinged to one end of several horizontal parts and the hinge seat, and the hinge shaft is relatively short, making it easy to process and install.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0021] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0022] A steel plate flipping device, as shown in Figures 1-4, includes a base 1, two flipping components 2, and at least two driving members 3. The flipping components 2 are hinged to the base 1, allowing them to rotate relative to the base 1. The two flipping components 2 are arranged close together. The driving members 3 are connected to and drive the flipping components 2 to rotate, making the two flipping components 2 resemble hinges. The included angle between the two flipping components 2 varies between 0 and 180°, allowing the steel plate supported on one flipping component 2 to be transported to the other flipping component 2 and flipped.

[0023] The base 1 is supported on the ground and has a frame structure for supporting and installing the flipping assembly 2 and the drive unit 3. The base 1 is provided with at least two hinge seats 11, and each flipping assembly 2 is hinged to at least one hinge seat 11.

[0024] The flipping assembly 2 includes a flipping frame 21, multiple rollers 22, and multiple auxiliary support members 23. The flipping frame 21 is a frame structure, with one end hinged to the base 1, allowing the flipping frame 21 to rotate relative to the base 1 around a rotation axis. The rotation axes of two flipping frames 21 are arranged parallel and close to each other, so that the included angle between the two flipping frames 21 varies within a horizontal angle range when they rotate. The multiple rollers 22 are rotatably mounted on the flipping frame 21. When the flipping frame 21 is in a horizontal state, the highest point of the rollers 22 is higher than the highest point of the flipping frame 21, that is, the rollers 22 protrude from the plane where the flipping frame 21 is located, and the central axis of each roller 22 is parallel to the rotation axis.

[0025] In this embodiment, the roller 22 is made of nylon.

[0026] The flipping frame 21 includes two parallel, spaced-apart vertical sections 211 and multiple horizontal sections 212. The vertical sections 211 are generally elongated, as are the horizontal sections 212. The length of the vertical sections 211 is greater than the length of the horizontal sections 212, and the length direction of the vertical sections 211 is parallel to the length direction of the rotation axis. The two ends of each horizontal section 212 are perpendicularly connected to the two vertical sections 211. Specifically, the horizontal sections 212 and the vertical sections 211 are welded together or fixed together by bolts or the like. At least two of the horizontal sections 212 of the flipping frame 21 have one end hinged to a hinge seat 11. The end of the horizontal section 212 hinged to the hinge seat 11 extends beyond the vertical section 211 and connects to the hinge seat 11. Both the vertical part 211 and the horizontal part 212 are equipped with rotatable rollers 22. When the steel plate is supported on the flipping assembly 2, it contacts the rollers 22, which is equivalent to the steel plate being supported by the rollers 22. Due to the rotatability of the rollers 22, the friction force on the steel plate when it is supported on the flipping assembly 2 is small, and the surface of the steel plate will not be damaged during the transfer process.

[0027] The vertical section 211 includes two parallel, spaced-apart elongated first plate-like members and multiple spaced-apart first connecting plates. The two ends of each first connecting plate are fixedly connected to the two first plate-like members, and the length direction of the first plate-like members is the length direction of the vertical section 211. Multiple rollers 22 are spaced along the length direction of the vertical section 211. The two ends of each roller 22 are rotatably mounted on two adjacent first connecting plates, meaning the central axis of each roller 22 is parallel to the length direction of the vertical section 211.

[0028] The horizontal section 212 includes two parallel, spaced-apart elongated second plate-like members and a plurality of spaced-apart second connecting plates. The length direction of the horizontal section 212 is consistent with the length direction of the second plate-like members. The two ends of the second plate-like members are respectively vertically fixedly connected to the first plate-like members of the two vertical sections 211, and the two ends of the second connecting plates are respectively vertically fixedly connected to the two second plate-like members. A plurality of rollers 22 are spaced along the length direction of the horizontal section 212. The two ends of each roller 22 on the horizontal section 212 are rotatably mounted on the two second plate-like members, and the central axis direction of the rollers 22 on the horizontal section 212 is also parallel to the length direction of the vertical sections 211.

[0029] It should be noted that, in order to improve the overall stability and rigidity of the flipping frame 21, reinforcing ribs can be flexibly set between two adjacent horizontal sections 212. The reinforcing ribs are rod-shaped members, and their two ends are fixedly connected to the two adjacent horizontal sections 212 respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are six horizontal parts 212, wherein one end of the four middle horizontal parts 212 extends beyond the vertical part 211 and is hinged to the hinge seat 11.

[0031] Auxiliary support members 23 are used to assist in supporting the inclined steel plate, facilitating the stability and transfer of the steel plate. Multiple auxiliary support members 23 are installed on each flipping frame 21, and these members are spaced apart along the length of the vertical section 211. The auxiliary support members 23 are L-shaped, and each auxiliary support member 23 of each flipping frame 21 is connected to one end of the flipping frame 21 closest to another flipping frame 21. One end of the auxiliary support member 23 is connected to the flipping frame 21, and the other end protrudes from the plane of the flipping frame 21. Specifically, multiple auxiliary support members 23 on each flipping frame 21 are connected to the side of the same vertical section 211 away from another vertical section 211. For this vertical section 211, the auxiliary support members 23 and the horizontal section 212 are located on opposite sides of the vertical section 211.

[0032] Specifically, the auxiliary support 23 includes a horizontal bar and a vertical bar that are perpendicularly connected to each other. One end of the vertical bar is perpendicularly connected to the first plate-like member of the vertical part 211, and the other end is connected to the horizontal bar. A pad 24 is installed on the horizontal bar to provide relatively flexible support for the steel plate. In this embodiment, the pad 24 is made of nylon.

[0033] It should be noted that for the horizontal part 212 that is hinged to the hinge seat 11, a pad 24 is also installed on the end of the horizontal part 212 that is hinged to the hinge seat 11. That is, the part of the horizontal part 212 that extends beyond the vertical part 211 connects to the hinge seat 11 and also acts as an auxiliary support member 23.

[0034] The auxiliary support members 23 on one flipping frame 21 and the auxiliary support members 23 on the other flipping frame 21 are arranged alternately. Furthermore, when the two flipping frames 21 are in a state perpendicular to the horizontal plane, at least some of the crossbars of the auxiliary support members 23 on one flipping frame 21 are inserted between the two crossbars of two adjacent auxiliary support members 23 on the other flipping frame 21, so that the steel plate can be smoothly transferred between the two flipping frames 21 without falling off due to the gap between the two flipping frames 21.

[0035] Each flipping frame 21 is driven to rotate by at least one drive member 3. One end of the drive member 3 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end is hinged to the flipping frame 21. The drive member 3 is located on the back side of the flipping frame 21, where the back side refers to the side of one flipping frame 21 away from another. Due to the arrangement of the base 1, the flipping frame 21 is at a certain distance from the ground. Therefore, when the flipping frame 21 is horizontally supported on the flipping frame 21, the drive member 3 is located in the space between the flipping frame 21 and the ground.

[0036] In this embodiment, the driving component 3 is a hydraulic cylinder. Each flipping frame 21 is driven to rotate by two driving components 3.

[0037] Based on the above structure, the working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: In the initial state, the two flipping frames 21 are in a horizontal state, as shown in Figure 1. The steel plate is supported on one flipping frame 21, and the steel plate contacts the rollers 22 on the flipping frame 21. Due to the self-rotating nature of the rollers 22, the steel plate will not be damaged. When it is necessary to flip the steel plate, the drive component 3 is activated. The drive component 3 drives the flipping frame 21 supporting the steel plate to rotate, and the other flipping frame 21 is also driven to rotate to prepare to connect the steel plate. The steel plate gradually tilts, and one side contacts the pad block 24 without falling off. When the flipping frame 21 supporting the steel plate rotates to about 90°, the steel plate will fall towards the other flipping frame 21, and the other flipping frame 21 will catch the steel plate at a state close to 90°, as shown in Figure 3. The flipping frame 21 that catches the steel plate then rotates back to a horizontal state, completing the flipping of the steel plate, as shown in Figure 4.

[0038] Finally, it is necessary to state that the above embodiments are only used to further illustrate the technical solution of this utility model in detail, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the above content of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
