[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0017] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device shown is a rapid transfer and flipping device for production line flow channels, including a transfer component 1, a material picking component 2 and a flipping component 3. The transfer component 1 is installed above two production line flow channels via a gantry frame 4. The transfer component 1 includes a high-speed transfer PPU 11 and a servo motor 12. The servo motor 12 is used as the power source for the high-speed transfer PPU 11, and the material picking speed can be adjusted according to actual use.

[0018] The material handling component 2 is installed on the moving end of the high-speed transfer PPU11. The material handling component 2 can be selected from suction cups, grippers or magnets according to actual needs.

[0019] The flipping component 3 is installed on the side of one of the two production line channels. This production line channel is the second production line channel 6, which is waiting for materials to be transferred. The other production line channel is the first production line channel 7 in the material inflow direction. The flipping component 3 includes a gripper 31 and a drive motor assembly that drives the gripper 31 to rotate and open and close. The drive motor assembly consists of a drive motor 32 and a gearbox 33. The output end of the drive motor 32 is connected to the input end of the gearbox 33, and the output end of the gearbox 33 is connected to the gripper 31. The rotation of the drive motor 32 realizes the opening, closing and rotation of the gripper 31 through the gears in the gearbox 33.

[0020] In the figure, the first production line flow channel 7 and the second production line flow channel 6 are arranged in parallel front to back. The transfer component 1 is installed above the tail section of the first production line flow channel 7 and the front section of the second production line flow channel 6. The flipping component 3 is installed at the end of the front section of the second production line flow channel 6. Of course, the flipping component 3 can also be installed in other positions depending on the material.

[0021] In the figure, an extension component is also installed on the side of the flow channel of the second production line. The extension component is preferably an optical vision inspection component, but other functional components are also acceptable.

[0022] This application combines a high-speed transfer PPU11, a servo motor 12, a material picking component 2, and a flipping component 3. The material picking component 2 is installed on the high-speed transfer PPU11 picking head, and the servo motor 12 drives the high-speed transfer PPU11 picking head to move, causing the material picking component 2 to grab the material on the first production line flow channel 7 and move it to the predetermined position of the second production line flow channel 6.

[0023] Photoelectric sensor 9 identifies the orientation of the material and transmits a signal back. In the figure, photoelectric sensor 9 is located above carrier 5. Carrier 5 moves along the first production line channel 7, and the material is placed in carrier 5.

[0024] The material handling component 2 grabs or adsorbs the material, and the servo motor 12 drives the high-speed transfer PPU 11 to move the material on the first production line flow channel 7 to the second production line flow channel 6, then releases the material and returns to the original position, repeating the above operation.

[0025] The flipping component 3 flips the material from side to side, and repeats the above operation.

[0026] In this application, the material handling component 2 preferably uses vacuum adsorption to grasp the material, and the identification of the front and back of the material is determined by the return value of the photoelectric sensor for different sides.

[0027] Note: The material handling component 2 shown in the figure on the second production line flow channel 6 is to demonstrate the state of the material handling component 2 moving onto the second production line flow channel 6. In actual use, the material handling component 2 will not appear on the first production line flow channel 7 and the second production line flow channel 6 at the same time.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
