Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, this utility model provides a molded tile flipping system, including a mounting frame 100, a flipping device 200, a power device 300, a transport device 400, and a control device 500. The flipping device 200 includes a first shaft 210, a rotating cylinder 220, several rotating blades 230, a molded tile placement cavity 240, and a first bearing 250. The first shaft 210 passes through the center of the rotating cylinder 220. There are two first bearings 250, respectively located on both sides of the rotating cylinder 220 and fixed above the mounting frame 100. The rotating blades 230 include blade tubes 231, through holes 232, first gaskets 233, and screws 234. The blade tube 231 is an isosceles trapezoid with a cavity in the middle. There are two through holes 232, opposite each other on the isosceles trapezoidal surface of the blade tube 231. There are two first gaskets 233, respectively fixed on two rectangular surfaces of the blade tube 231. The first gasket 233 is fixed by several screws 234. The first gasket 233 prevents the molded tile from being scratched when entering the molded tile placement cavity 240, thus avoiding damage to the surface of the molded tile and affecting subsequent processes. The short side of the rotating blade 230 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 220. The rotating blades 230 are arranged in a circular array evenly on the wall of the rotating cylinder 220 around the center of the rotating cylinder 220. The rotating blades 230 are isosceles trapezoids, making the molded tile placement cavity 240... The shape is approximately rectangular to avoid an excessively large angle between the rotating blades 230 and the rotating cylinder 220, which would cause the surface of the molded tile placement cavity 240 to tilt and prevent the molded tile from falling off. The distance between the plurality of rotating blades 230 is the molded tile placement cavity 240. A second gasket 260 is provided on the wall of the rotating cylinder 220 between the plurality of rotating blades 230 to prevent the molded tile from touching the cylinder wall of the rotating cylinder 220 due to gravity when it rotates to the highest point, thus preventing damage to the surface of the molded tile.

[0026] Preferably, the power unit 300 includes a motor, gears and a transmission. The first shaft 210 is connected to the motor via gears. The motor provides power to the tilting device 200, and the transmission controls the speed of the tilting device 200.

[0027] Preferably, the control device 500 includes an infrared sensor, a microcontroller, and a motor drive. The infrared sensor is used to detect the time interval of the molded tile passing through, and then sends the detected signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller calculates the transmission speed of the belt based on the signal interval. When the turning speed of the turning device 200 is inconsistent with the transmission speed of the belt, the microcontroller will adjust the control signal to drive the motor drive to adjust the speed of the power device 300 so that the transmission speed of the belt and the turning speed of the molded tile are consistent.

[0028] Preferably, the mounting rack 100 is in two sets, respectively arranged on both sides of the flipping device 200. Each set includes a metal frame 110, a first mounting rack 120, a second mounting rack 130, and a third mounting rack 140. The second mounting rack 130 is arranged above the metal frame 110. There are two first mounting racks 120, which are evenly arranged on the left and right sides of the second mounting rack 130, located on the inner sidewall of the metal frame 110. The third mounting rack 140 is arranged below any one of the second mounting racks 130, located on the outer side of the mounting rack 100. The power unit 300 is arranged on the third mounting rack 140 to facilitate support for the flipping device 200, the power unit 300, the transport device 400, and the control device 500.

[0029] Preferably, the transport device 400 consists of two sets, respectively disposed between the tilting device 200 and the placement frame 100; each set of transport devices 400 includes a belt conveyor 420 and a transmission device 410; the belt conveyor 420 consists of two sets, each set including a pulley 421, a second shaft 422, and two second bearings 423; the two second bearings 423 are disposed on the first placement frame 120; the second shaft 422 passes through the two second bearings 423, with one end connected to the pulley 421; the transmission device 410 consists of two sets, respectively disposed to the left of the left belt conveyor 420 and to the right of the right belt conveyor 420; each set of transmission devices 410 includes two screws 411, two first support rods 412, and two second supports The support rod 413 and four fixing plates 415 are provided. The two screw rods 411 are respectively positioned opposite each other above the mounting frame 100. The two first support rods 412 are horizontally and perpendicularly positioned to the mounting frame 100 on both sides of the screw rods 411. The two fixing plates 415 form a group, clamping the first support rods 412 from the top and bottom and fixing them to the screw rods. The fixing plates 415 at both ends are fixed by two nuts 414. The fixing plate 415 has a screw hole 416 in the middle that matches the screw rod 411. The fixing plate 415 has a groove 417 on one side that matches the width of the first support rod 412. The groove 417 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the screw hole 416. The second support rod 413 is horizontally and perpendicularly positioned to the first support rod 412 and is placed parallel to the first support rod 412 above it.

[0030] Preferably, the belt devices 420 are respectively arranged on the left and right opposite sides of the flipping device 200, and the pulleys 421 do not contact the flipping device 200 to avoid the flipping device 200 from being affected by the pulleys 421 when it rotates, causing it to jam. The maximum distance between the two sets of belt devices 420 does not exceed the length of the molded tile to prevent the distance between the two sets of belt devices 420 from being too large and mismatched with the length of the molded tile, which would prevent the molded tile from being placed on the belt for conveying.

[0031] Preferably, the height of the transmission device 410 is consistent with the height of the highest point of the pulley 421, and the positions of the two second support rods 416 are consistent with the positions of the pulleys 421 of each set of belt devices 420, so as to ensure that the belt matches the second support rods 413 when it operates on the pulleys 421, and prevents the belt from displacing and falling off the pulleys 421, which would affect the transmission of the molded tiles.

[0032] Preferably, when the lower surface of any of the molded tile placement cavities 240 is parallel to the second support rod 416, the end of the second support rod 413 near the pulley 421 is located between the pulley 421 and the outermost edge of the blade 230, ensuring that the bottom of the molded tile has a certain support when it enters the molded tile placement cavity 240, thus preventing the molded tile from falling off.

[0033] Preferably, the height of the molded tile placement cavity 240 is greater than the thickness of the molded tile, ensuring that there is enough space for the molded tile to enter the molded tile placement cavity 240, thus preventing the molded tile from scratching.

[0034] After the molded tile is pressed, formed, and dried, it is conveyed from the belt conveyor 420 on one side of the control device 500 to the rotary blade 230. At this time, the control device 500 identifies whether the molded tile is already on the belt in front of the rotary blade 230. When the previous molded tile is on the rotary blade 230, the pulley sends the next molded tile onto the next rotary blade 230, and so on. The molded tiles that have been flipped are conveyed from the belt on the other side to the next process for the next operation.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
