Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation platform technology, and in particular to an automatic rotating bullseye platform for a production line. Background Technology
[0002] A swivel ball platform, also known as a bullseye ball platform, is a material handling device based on bullseye wheel design. It is mainly used for flexible, multi-directional manual material handling. Its core component is a densely arranged bullseye wheel (similar to the structure of a ball bearing), which enables low-resistance sliding of items on the platform surface and movement in any direction. It is suitable for scenarios that require frequent adjustments to the position or path of goods.
[0003] Currently, the bullseye wheels on bullseye platforms are mostly installed independently using bolts and screws. When installing or disassembling the entire platform, each bullseye wheel needs to be disassembled and reassembled individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, existing bullseye platforms often only allow for horizontal angle adjustment of goods and cannot tilt them vertically, which is inconvenient when processing goods that require vertical tilting. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing an automatic rotating bullseye platform for production lines, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of bullseye wheels on the platform and allows for easy vertical rotation of goods during use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic bullseye reversing platform for production lines, comprising:
[0007] Base plate;
[0008] Multiple sets of moving mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the base plate. Each moving mechanism includes multiple moving components. Each moving component includes a top cover and multiple bullseye wheels. Multiple limiting holes are arranged at intervals on the top cover. Each bullseye wheel is located inside a limiting hole to limit the movement of each bullseye wheel.
[0009] The flipping mechanism is located between two sets of moving mechanisms. The flipping mechanism includes a rotating shaft and multiple flipping rods. Each flipping rod is arranged around the outside of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft rotates to drive a flipping rod to rotate upward, thereby driving the goods to flip.
[0010] There are two flipping mechanisms to flip the goods twice.
[0011] Furthermore, the moving components are arranged at intervals, and each moving component also includes a fixed plate. The top cover is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, the bottom of the fixed plate is provided with bolts, and the bottom plate is provided with mounting holes, which are matched with the bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, and the bottom of the bullseye wheel is cylindrical and fits into the fixing ring so that the bottom of the bullseye wheel is engaged in the fixing ring.
[0013] Furthermore, the bullseye wheel includes a housing and ball bearings, with the ball bearings movably connected inside the housing. The upper part of the ball bearings passes through a limiting hole, and the edge of the limiting hole presses against the housing.
[0014] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with strip-shaped holes that are adapted to the flipping rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism also includes two fixed sleeves, which are fixedly connected to the base plate, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two fixed sleeves.
[0016] Furthermore, multiple rotating rings are spaced apart on the rotating shaft, and one end of the flipping rod is fixedly connected to the rotating ring. Each rotating ring has four flipping rods, and the four flipping rods are arranged at equal intervals around the center line of the rotating ring.
[0017] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism also includes a servo motor, which is mounted on the base plate and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] In this invention, the automatic rotating bullseye platform moves via bullseye wheels. A rotating shaft drives a horizontal rotating rod to rotate upwards, which, in conjunction with a vertical rotating rod, pushes the goods to rotate 90°, thus achieving the flipping of the goods. By setting multiple flipping mechanisms along the transport direction, the goods can be flipped multiple times by 90°, achieving vertical flipping. When the bullseye wheels require maintenance or replacement, simply remove the moving assembly and then the top cover to perform unified maintenance and replacement of the multiple bullseye casters within the moving assembly, improving the ease of maintenance for the bullseye casters.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 An automatic rotating bullseye platform is used in cargo conveying platforms to improve the efficiency of disassembling and replacing bullseye wheels in the platform, and to facilitate the rotation of cargo.
[0031] The automatic rotating bullseye platform of the production line includes a base plate 1, multiple sets of moving mechanisms and a rotating mechanism 3;
[0032] The base plate 1 is long and narrow, and each moving mechanism is arranged at intervals along the length of the base plate 1. Goods can be transported along the long and narrow base plate 1 by passing through each moving mechanism in sequence.
[0033] Each moving mechanism includes multiple moving components 2, which are arranged at intervals. Each moving component 2 includes a fixed plate 201, a top cover 204, and multiple bullseye wheels 203. A fixed ring 202 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 201. The bottom of the bullseye wheel 203 is cylindrical and is adapted to the fixed ring 202 so that the bottom of the bullseye wheel 203 can be inserted into the fixed ring 202, thereby limiting and fixing each bullseye wheel 203 on the fixed plate 201.
[0034] The top cover 204 has multiple spaced-apart limiting holes 2041, and each bullseye wheel 203 is located inside one limiting hole 2041. The bullseye wheel 203 includes a housing and a ball bearing. The ball bearing is movably connected inside the housing and can roll freely within it, facilitating the free transport of goods. The upper part of the ball bearing passes through the limiting hole 2041, thus protruding from the top cover 204, facilitating the transport of goods.
[0035] The top cover 204 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 201 by screws. After the top cover 204 is fixed, the edge of the limiting hole 2041 is pressed against the outer shell, thereby limiting each bullseye wheel 203.
[0036] In some embodiments, the bottom of the fixing plate 201 is provided with bolts 2011, and the base plate 1 is provided with mounting holes 101, the bolts 2011 being adapted to the mounting holes 101. The fixing plate 201 can be fixedly installed on the base plate 1 by means of bolts 2011.
[0037] There are two flipping mechanisms 3, arranged sequentially along the length of the long strip base plate 1, with each flipping mechanism 3 positioned between the two sets of moving mechanisms. Each flipping mechanism 3 can flip the goods 90° once, and two flips can flip the goods 180° vertically.
[0038] The flipping mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 301 and four flipping rods 303. Two fixed sleeves 103 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The rotating shaft 301 is rotatably connected between the two fixed sleeves 103. Multiple rotating rings 302 are spaced apart on the rotating shaft 301. One end of each of the four flipping rods 303 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 302. The four flipping rods 303 are arranged at equal intervals around the center line of the rotating ring 302, that is, the angle between each flipping rod 303 is 90°, which facilitates the 90° flipping of the goods each time.
[0039] The base plate 1 is provided with a strip hole 102, which is adapted to the flipping rod 303. When the flipping rod 303 rotates with the rotating shaft 301, the strip hole 102 facilitates the movement of the flipping rod 303.
[0040] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 3 further includes a servo motor 304, which is mounted on the base plate 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. By rotating the rotating shaft 301 by the servo motor 304 by 90°, the goods can be flipped 90° once. After the goods are flipped, the next goods are waited for to come to the flipping rod 303. By rotating the servo motor 304 by 90° again, the next goods can be flipped 90° once more.
[0041] The working principle of the automatic rotating bullseye platform of the line is as follows: the goods move through each bullseye wheel 203. When the goods move to the end of a moving mechanism, they are blocked by a vertical rotating rod 303 and are located above a horizontal rotating rod 303. At this time, the servo motor 304 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate, thereby driving the horizontal rotating rod 303 to rotate upward. This works in conjunction with the vertical rotating rod 303 to push the goods to rotate 90°, and at the same time, the goods move to the next set of moving mechanisms. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating rod 303 can push the goods, making it easier for them to continue sliding on the moving mechanism.
[0042] After the horizontal flipping rod 303 rotates 90°, it becomes vertical, and can then be flipped for the next item.
[0043] The goods can be flipped twice by two 90° flipping mechanisms 3, realizing the up-and-down flipping of the goods.
[0044] When the bullseye caster 203 needs maintenance or replacement, simply remove the bolt 2011 to remove the moving assembly 2, and then remove the top cover 204 to perform unified maintenance and replacement of the multiple bullseye casters 203 in the moving assembly 2.
[0045] 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.
