Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] refer to Figures 1-5An online automatic flipping device for packaged products includes a conveyor belt 2, a baffle 3, a flipping conveyor belt 4, and a lever 5. Limiting plates 1 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, forming a conveying channel. The baffle 3 is located within the conveying channel. The flipping conveyor belt 4 is disposed on one side of the conveyor belt 2. Along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, the baffle 3 gradually tilts, and the working surface of the flipping conveyor belt 4 gradually tilts from bottom to top. A flipping channel A with gradually narrowing width is formed between the side of the baffle 3, the working surface of the conveyor belt 2, and the working surface of the flipping conveyor belt 4. The lever 5 is disposed at the rear end of the flipping channel A and suspended directly above the conveyor belt 2.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When packaged product a is conveyed along the conveyor channel, under the action of baffle 3, packaged product a is continuously conveyed forward in the flipping channel A and approaches the flipping conveyor belt 4. The front end of packaged product a first contacts the flipping conveyor belt 4, and the flipping conveyor belt 4 exerts an upward force on packaged product a. At the same time, under the action of the inclined baffle 3, packaged product a is quickly flipped 90° and continues to be conveyed forward. Then, lever 5 contacts the front end of packaged product a, causing it to flip completely another 90°, completing the flipping. It should be noted that conveyor belt 2 is a common assembly line.

[0030] The online automatic flipping device for packaged products in this embodiment can not only accurately flip packaged product a, but also avoid excessive compression of packaged product a during the process, thereby avoiding product deformation and damage to the packaging bag. It is especially suitable for packaging lines of popsicles, dairy ice cream and ice cream.

[0031] refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, preferably, the baffle 3 includes an integrally formed lower top plate 31, a side inclined plate 32, and a front flat plate 33; the lower top plate 31 is arranged parallel to the top of the conveyor belt 2; the side inclined plate 32 is inclined into the turning channel A; and the front flat plate 33 is arranged at the end of the baffle 3 and extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment described above, the lower top plate 31 first lifts one side of the packaged product a slightly, and then the flipping conveyor belt 4 acts on the other side of the packaged product a. This facilitates the rapid 90° flipping of the packaged product a, while the side inclined plate 32 limits the flipping angle of the packaged product a. Since the lower edge of the packaged product a directly contacts the connection between the lower top plate 31 and the side inclined plate 32 during the flipping process and rubs against each other as it moves forward, to avoid damage to the packaged product a due to friction, it is further preferred that the connection between the lower top plate 31 and the side inclined plate 32 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, more preferably, a drop outlet b is provided at the end of the baffle 3 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. In this embodiment, the drop outlet b is located on the front plate 33. Specifically, the height of the front plate 33 is less than the height of the side inclined plate 32, and also less than the height of the packaged product a after it has been flipped 90°. Thus, the drop outlet b is formed between the front plate 33 and the side inclined plate 32, and due to the existence of the drop outlet b, the packaged product a will naturally tend to tilt towards the drop outlet b after it is released from the belt 413, and will be accurately flipped under the action of the lever 5 at the rear end.

[0034] In this embodiment, specifically, the limiting plate 1 on one side of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with a first mounting bracket 11; more specifically, the first mounting bracket 11 is an L-shaped bracket; the L-shaped bracket is provided with multiple oblong holes; the L-shaped bracket is detachably mounted on the limiting plate 1 through the multiple oblong holes; in this embodiment, it should be noted that the limiting plate 1 is provided with multiple strip holes extending along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, and the L-shaped bracket is detachably mounted by fastening bolts passing through the oblong holes and the strip holes. Under the above design, the worker can adjust the tilt angle and relative position between the L-shaped bracket and the conveyor belt 2 according to actual needs, effectively increasing the adjustment in actual application and making the flipping process smoother and more accurate. Of course, it should be noted that the range of adjustment is limited, depending on the length and position of the strip holes and oblong holes, for reference... Figure 3 , 4 .

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the flipping conveyor belt 4 includes a conveyor belt 41 and a drive motor 42; the conveyor belt 41 and the drive motor 42 are mounted on the L-shaped block; the working surface of the conveyor belt 41 passes through the limiting plate 1 and is used to contact and transport the packaged product a on the conveyor belt 2; the drive motor 42 is mounted on the first mounting frame 11 and is used to drive the conveyor belt 41; along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, the conveyor belt 41 is arranged inclined from bottom to top. The conveyor belt 41 includes a drive pulley 411, a driven pulley 412, and a belt 413 (this connecting component is not described, see the attached drawings for details); the drive pulley 411 and the driven pulley 412 are both mounted on the first mounting frame 11; the drive pulley 411 is drivenly connected to the power output end of the drive motor 42; the drive pulley 411 and the driven pulley 412 are drivenly connected by the belt 413. In this embodiment, the lever 5 is mounted on the outer shell of the conveyor belt 41.

[0036] With the above design, the conveyor belt 41 makes surface contact with the packaged product a, thereby ensuring more stable transport.

[0037] In this embodiment, specifically, the limiting plate 1 on the other side of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with a second mounting bracket 12; the baffle 3 is detachably mounted on the second mounting bracket 12. More specifically, the second mounting bracket 12 includes a connecting rod 121, a mounting block 122, and a locking rod 123; the mounting block 122 is detachably mounted on the limiting plate 1 and is provided with a mounting groove (not shown in the figure); the connecting rod 121 passes through the mounting groove and is detachably connected to the baffle 3; the locking rod 123 passes through the mounting block 122 and is used to lock the connecting rod 121 located in the mounting groove.

[0038] In practical applications, the mounting block 122 is also detachably connected to the limiting plate 1 via fastening bolts passing through the slotted hole. This allows the mounting block 122 to be adjusted left and right along the slotted hole. The connecting rod 121 then crosses the limiting plate 1 and is detachably connected to the baffle 3. The connecting rod 121 can move up and down along the mounting groove, adjusting the distance between the baffle 3 and the working surface of the conveyor belt 2. It is threadedly connected to the mounting block 122 via a locking rod 123. Rotating the locking rod 123 secures the connecting rod 121 to a certain position, preventing direct contact between the baffle 3 and the conveyor belt 2 and thus preventing damage. It also ensures that the lower end of the packaged product a contacts the lower top plate 31 of the baffle 3. Furthermore, if abnormal conveying occurs in the front-end process, causing accumulation and blockage in the turning device, the operator can loosen the locking rod 123 to quickly lift the baffle 3, restoring normal conveying flow. The baffle 3 can then be restored to its original position to continue the turning process, offering the advantage of rapid production recovery in abnormal situations.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
