[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] This utility model provides an automatic flipping device for polyester tubing products, comprising a transmission device and a flipping mechanism. The transmission device includes a motor 1 and a transmission shaft 2. The output shaft of the motor 1 is connected to the transmission shaft 2. The motor 1 drives the transmission shaft 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping mechanism to rotate, thereby driving the flipping gear 3 to rotate, realizing the flipping and turning of the polyester tubing on both sides within a certain space. This achieves automated mechanical operation of flipping the polyester tubing on both sides, saving time and labor, and significantly improving the efficiency of visual inspection for defects.

[0024] The transmission shaft 2 is provided with multiple sets of flipping mechanisms distributed along the axial direction. Each set of flipping mechanisms is provided with multiple sets of flipping teeth 3 arranged at intervals. The distance between each set of flipping teeth 3 matches the spacing of the polyester tubes. Each set of flipping mechanisms is provided with three flipping teeth 3 arranged at intervals. In use, the three flipping teeth 3 can be engaged in the connecting groove between two adjacent polyester tubes. The three flipping teeth 3 are evenly spaced and set at the two ends and the middle three connecting grooves of the corresponding model polyester tubes, so as to realize the precise flipping and turning operation of the polyester tubes and prevent side tipping.

[0025] The length of the flipping tooth 3 is greater than half the length of the polyester tube and less than or equal to the length of the polyester tube. The flipping tooth 3 of the flipping mechanism is a long, thin rod, and its width is less than the radius of the polyester tube. This length design of the flipping tooth 3 can achieve precise and stable flipping of the polyester tube, and the flipping tooth 3 can accurately engage in the connecting groove of the polyester tube without slipping, ensuring that the flipping is continuously and effectively performed, meeting the quality inspection requirements of mass production.

[0026] The drive shaft 2 is symmetrically equipped with three sets of flipping mechanisms along the axial direction, and the angle between two adjacent sets of flipping mechanisms is 120°. With this structure, the drive shaft 2 rotates continuously with the output shaft of the motor 1. The three sets of flipping mechanisms can be precisely matched with the conveyor belt of the polyester tubes. The drive shaft 2 can flip the three sets of polyester tubes in both directions with one revolution, which significantly improves the flipping efficiency.

[0027] The automatic flipping device for polyester tubing products provided by this utility model further includes a support base 4 for supporting the rotation of the transmission shaft 2 and a mounting base 5 for mounting the motor 1. The support base 4 consists of two bases respectively located at both ends of the transmission shaft 2, each with a mounting through hole on its upper part. The two ends of the transmission shaft 2 are connected by bearings and rotatably mounted in the mounting through hole. When the flipping teeth 3 rotate to the bottom with the transmission shaft 2, their bottom position is higher than the bottom position of the support base 4. This ensures that the flipping teeth 3 of the entire flipping mechanism can continuously and effectively flip the polyester tubing.

[0028] The flip tooth 3 is made of stainless steel, which is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and has a long service life.

[0029] The specific operation during use is as follows:

[0030] The conveyor belt in the visual defect detection device includes an input conveyor belt and an output conveyor belt, with an installation gap between them and their central axes on a straight line. The polyester pipe product provided by this utility model is installed in the installation gap between the two conveyor belts of the visual defect detection device using an automatic flipping device.

[0031] The flipping mechanism can be driven by the transmission shaft 2 to rotate in the spaced installation gaps, rotating in the direction from the input conveyor belt to the output conveyor belt. The rotation speed of its motor 1 is set by the controller to control the rotation and flipping of the polyester tubes transported from the end of the input conveyor belt to each set of flipping teeth 3 to the starting end of the output conveyor belt. During this process, the flipping teeth 3 simultaneously flip the polyester tubes in both directions, realizing the mechanical, automated, precise and stable flipping operation of the polyester tubes in both directions.

[0032] In summary, the automatic flipping device for polyester tubing products of this utility model has a simple and ingenious structure, low manufacturing cost, and realizes precise and stable mechanical automatic flipping operation on both sides of the polyester tubing. The operation is time-saving and labor-saving, meets the visual inspection needs of large-volume polyester tubing defects on both sides, and significantly improves production efficiency.

[0033] 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.
