Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of producing aluminum shells for electrolytic capacitors, specifically relating to a turnover box conveying and turning device and an aluminum shell production line. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consist of an aluminum shell and a capacitor core. The aluminum shell serves as the outer casing, protecting the capacitor core and isolating it from the external environment. Due to the small size of the aluminum shell, it needs to be placed in a turnover box for transfer between production processes. During this transfer, to ensure no aluminum shells remain in the turnover box, it must be inverted to empty any remaining shells. Conversely, to ensure the smooth flow of aluminum shells during production, the turnover box must be flipped over to accommodate them. Currently, both inverting and flipping the turnover box are done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extremely inefficient. Furthermore, the turnover box is easily damaged during inversion or flipping, leading to stagnation of aluminum shells and impacting overall production efficiency.
[0003] Existing technologies include research on manually operated inverting or flipping turnover boxes, such as patent applications CN108275470A (an online automatic nesting and collection device and method for empty boxes) and CN213168722U (a mechanical multi-functional flipping device). These technologies achieve mechanical flipping of turnover boxes through flipping mechanisms or flipping bodies, solving a series of problems caused by manual turnover box flipping. However, existing flipping devices can only replace manual operation to improve the efficiency of turnover box flipping. It is difficult to effectively control the stability of turnover box flipping operation, and existing flipping devices are difficult to operate, making it difficult to quickly and accurately complete the turnover box flipping operation, thus affecting the flow of operations between aluminum shell production processes. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turnover box conveying and turning device and an aluminum shell production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in effectively controlling the stability of the turnover box turning operation of the current turning device, the high difficulty in operation, and the difficulty in quickly and accurately completing the turnover box turning operation, which affects the flow operation between aluminum shell production processes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a turnover box conveying and turning device, comprising a conveyor belt, a rotary motor mounted on the conveyor belt, and a rotary shaft rotatably connected to the rotary motor. Each end of the rotary shaft is rotatably connected to a bearing seat fixed at the middle position of the top of the support frame on both sides of the conveyor belt, and is mounted between the two support frames through the bearing seats. The inner ends of the rotary shaft rotatably connected to the bearing seats are respectively fixed with clamping arms A and B. Each inner side of clamping arms A and B is fixed with a clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder is clamped to the turnover box in an abutment manner. The turnover box is turned on the conveyor belt by the two clamping cylinders, clamping arms A and B, rotary shaft, and rotary motor.
[0006] Furthermore, one end of the rotating shaft passes through one of the bearing seats and is fixedly connected to an organic seal, and is simultaneously rotated by a rotary motor at the top center of one of the support frames. The other end of the rotating shaft passes through another bearing seat and is rotatably connected to the output end of the rotary motor, and is simultaneously rotated by the rotary motor at the top center of another support frame. A support is fixed to the outer side of the middle part of the other support frame, and is suspended and fixedly connected to the rotary motor through the support.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the clamping arm A is sleeved and fixed to the inner side of one end of the rotating shaft connected to the organic seal, and one end of the clamping arm B is sleeved and fixed to the inner side of the other end of the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the rotating motor. The inner side of the other end of the clamping arm A is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of one of the clamping cylinders, and the inner side of the other end of the clamping arm B is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of another clamping cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, one of the clamping cylinders has a clamping plate A fixed to its piston rod end and is connected to one side of the turnover box through clamping plate A, and the other clamping cylinder has a clamping plate B fixed to its piston rod end and is connected to the other side of the turnover box through clamping plate B. The clamping plate B and clamping plate A are arranged to move in opposite directions through the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is equipped with several rolling shafts, and a drive motor is fixed on its side and rolledly connected to the rolling shafts. The drive motor and the rolling shafts are moved and connected to the turnover box. The conveyor belt is also equipped with a limit baffle. The limit baffle is movably connected to a lifting cylinder and is in a limiting contact connection with the turnover box through the lifting cylinder. A photoelectric sensor that cooperates with the lifting cylinder is provided on the side of the conveyor belt.
[0010] In addition to the above technical solutions, there is also an aluminum shell production line equipped with the turnover box conveying and turning device.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model uses a bearing housing to mount the rotating shaft between two support frames fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt, making the rotation of the rotating shaft more stable and reliable. This effectively improves the stability of the rotating shaft, allowing it to not only effectively control the stability of the turnover box flipping operation but also ensure that the turnover box moves smoothly on the conveyor belt after the flipping operation is completed. This effectively improves the operability and practicality of the flipping device. By fixing clamping arms A and B to the inner ends of the rotating shaft and bearing housing respectively, clamping arms A and B can rotate with the rotating shaft under the rotation of the rotating motor. Then, two clamping cylinders clamp the turnover box between clamping arms A and B, allowing the turnover box to quickly and accurately complete the flipping operation under the clamping arms A and B as the rotating shaft rotates. This effectively reduces the difficulty of flipping the turnover box and improves the efficiency of the turnover box flipping operation, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the flow operation between aluminum shell production processes and meeting the automation requirements of aluminum shell production.
[0013] 2. This utility model suspends and fixes the rotary motor to the outer side of the middle of the support frame through the support, so that the rotating shaft can rotate without interference, effectively improving the stability of the rotating shaft. By connecting the mechanical seal and the rotary motor to the two ends of the rotating shaft respectively, the rotating shaft can not only rotate regularly under the drive of the rotary motor, but also maintain stable rotation under the action of the mechanical seal. Thus, the rotating shaft can not only effectively control the stability of the turnover box flipping operation, but also ensure that the turnover box moves smoothly on the conveyor belt after the turnover operation is completed, effectively improving the operability and practicality of the flipping device.
[0014] 3. This utility model uses two clamping cylinders to set clamping plate B and clamping plate A to move in opposite directions, so that the turnover box can be firmly clamped between clamping arm A and clamping arm B under the opposite movement of clamping plate A and clamping plate B. This allows the turnover box to complete the flipping operation smoothly, quickly and accurately as the rotating shaft rotates, effectively reducing the difficulty of turnover box flipping operation, improving the operation efficiency of turnover box flipping operation, and thus ensuring the efficiency of the flow operation between aluminum shell production processes.
[0015] 4. This utility model adopts a setting that combines a limiting baffle, a lifting cylinder, and a photoelectric sensor to enable the turnover boxes to be flipped sequentially and neatly, effectively avoiding the problem of difficulty in flipping operations due to overcrowding of turnover boxes. The rolling connection between the rolling shaft and the drive motor makes the transportation of turnover boxes more convenient and faster, effectively improving the efficiency of aluminum shell circulation and meeting the automation requirements of aluminum shell production operations.

[0022] The following embodiments are used to further illustrate the content of this utility model, and do not limit the application of this utility model. Example 1:
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 A turnover box conveying and flipping device includes a conveyor belt 2 for conveying turnover boxes 1, a rotary motor 3 mounted on the conveyor belt 2 for controlling the rotation of a rotary shaft 4, and a rotary shaft 4 rotatably connected to the rotary motor 3 for driving the turnover box 1 to rotate. Each end of the rotary shaft 4 is rotatably connected to a bearing seat 5. The two bearing seats 5 are respectively fixed at the top middle position of the support frames 6 on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. The rotary shaft 4 is rotatably mounted between the two support frames 6 through the bearing seats 5. The inner ends of the rotary shaft 4 rotatably connected to the bearing seats 5 are respectively fixed with clamping arms A7 and B8 for clamping the turnover box 1. Each inner side of clamping arms A7 and B8 is fixed with a clamping cylinder 9 for cooperating with clamping arms A7 and B8 to clamp the turnover box 1. The clamping cylinder 9 is in contact with the turnover box 1 used for aluminum shell process flow and is clamped. The turnover box 1 is flipped on the conveyor belt 2 by the two clamping cylinders 9, clamping arms A7 and B8, rotary shaft 4 and rotary motor 3.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3One end of the rotating shaft 4 passes through one of the bearing seats 5 and is fixedly connected to a mechanical seal 10 for stable rotation of the rotating shaft 4. At the same time, it is rotated by the rotating motor 3 at the top center of one of the support frames 6. The other end of the rotating shaft 4 passes through another bearing seat 5 and is rotatably connected to the output end of the rotating motor 3. At the same time, it is rotated by the rotating motor 3 at the top center of another support frame 6. A support 11 for fixing the rotating motor 3 is fixed on the outer side of the middle part of the other support frame 6 and is suspended and fixedly connected to the rotating motor 3 through the support 11.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 One end of the clamping arm A7 is fitted into the inner side of one end of the rotating shaft 4, and this end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the machine seal 10. The inner side of the other end of the clamping arm A7 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of one of the clamping cylinders 9. The piston rod end of one of the clamping cylinders 9 is fixed with a clamping plate A12 for abutting against one side of the turnover box 1 and is connected to the side of the turnover box 1 through the clamping plate A12.
[0026] One end of the clamping arm B8 is fitted into the inner side of the other end of the rotating shaft 4, and this end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating motor 3. The inner side of the other end of the clamping arm B8 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of another clamping cylinder 9. The piston rod end of the other clamping cylinder 9 is fixed with a clamping plate B13 for abutting against the other side of the turnover box 1, and the clamping plate B13 is connected to the other side of the turnover box 1. The clamping plate B13 and the clamping plate A12 are set to move towards each other through the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 9.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveyor belt 2 is equipped with several rolling shafts 14 for moving the turnover boxes 1. A drive motor 15 is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt 2 and is rotatably connected to the rolling shafts 14. The drive motor 15 and the rolling shafts 14 are movably connected to the turnover boxes 1. The drive motor 15 and the rotary motor 3 are located on the same side of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is also equipped with a limiting baffle 16 for the turnover boxes 1 to be flipped in sequence. The limiting baffle 16 is movably connected to a lifting cylinder 17 for controlling the extension and retraction of the limiting baffle 16 (the existing lifting cylinder has basic structures such as lifting mechanism, which are not described in detail here, but should not limit its function). The lifting cylinder 17 is connected to the turnover box 1 in a limiting contact manner. The side of the conveyor belt 2 is also equipped with a photoelectric sensor 18 that cooperates with the lifting cylinder 17 and is used to sense the position of the turnover box 1. This effectively avoids the problem that the flipping operation is difficult to perform due to the crowding of the turnover boxes 1.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Figures 1-5As shown, after the turnover box conveying and turning device is assembled, the operator installs the entire device onto the aluminum shell production line (the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as aluminum shell production lines are well known in the field, and the connection settings are also common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here, nor are they shown in the attached drawings). Its purpose is to quickly and accurately complete the turning operation of turnover box 1 (it can also complete the inverting operation of the turnover box; the working principle and usage process of the inverting operation are the same as the turning operation, only the state of the turnover box before and after turning is different, that is, the inverting operation of the turnover box first involves turning it from an upright state to an inverted state, such as...). Figure 2 As shown, the turnover box flipping operation involves first flipping it from an inverted state to an upright state, as shown in the image. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this effectively reduces the difficulty of flipping the turnover box 1 and improves the efficiency of flipping the turnover box 1, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the flow operation between aluminum shell production processes and meeting the automation requirements of aluminum shell production.
[0029] Since the drive motor 15, rotary motor 3, clamping cylinder 9, and lifting cylinder 17 are all controlled by a control box or controller (the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as control boxes or controllers are well known in the art, and the connection settings are also common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here, nor are they shown in the attached drawings), and the photoelectric sensor 18 is connected to the control box or controller, when the aluminum shell needs to be transferred between processes, the operator first inverts the aluminum shell into the turnover box 1 (at this time, the turnover box 1 is in the upright position, as shown in the attached drawings). Figure 4 As shown), the turnover box 1 containing the aluminum shell is then placed on the conveyor belt 2. The control box or controller then starts the drive motor 15. At this time, the rolling shaft 14 rolls under the drive of the drive motor 15 (the existing drive motor has a mechanism to drive the roller shaft, etc., which are not specifically described here, but should not limit its functionality). Simultaneously, the turnover box 1 moves along the conveyor belt 2 with the rolling shaft 14 until it reaches the process feed inlet. The operator then removes the turnover box 1, sends the aluminum shell inside into the process for production, and then inverts the turnover box 1 onto the conveyor belt 2 (the inverted state of the turnover box 1 is as shown). Figure 5As shown), to avoid any remaining aluminum shell on the turnover box 1, since the drive motor 15 is still driving the rolling shaft 14 to roll, the inverted turnover box 1 will continue to move on the conveyor belt 2 along with the rolling shaft 14 until the inverted turnover box 1 reaches the sensing range of the photoelectric sensor 18. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 18 will transmit the signal of the inverted turnover box 1 reaching the control box or controller. The control box or controller will control the lifting cylinder 17 to lower its own piston rod (the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 17 is initially in the highest position). At this time, the limit baffle 16 (the initial height of the limit baffle 16 is higher than the height of the rolling shaft 14) will be lowered to a height lower than the rolling shaft 14 by the lowering of the lifting cylinder 17, allowing an inverted turnover box 1 to pass through. After the inverted turnover box 1 passes through, the photoelectric sensor 18 before flipping will continue to transmit the signal of the turnover box 1 passing through to the control box or controller. The controller, control box, or controller will control the lifting cylinder 17 to raise its piston rod. At this time, the limit baffle 16 will rise to its initial height under the rise of the lifting cylinder 17. After passing through, the inverted turnover box 1 will continue to move between clamping arms A7 and B8. At the same time, the control box or controller will control the two clamping cylinders 9 to extend their piston rods simultaneously (the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 9 are initially retracted). At this time, clamping plates A12 and B13 will clamp the inverted turnover box 1 between clamping arms A7 and B8 under the simultaneous extension of the two clamping cylinders 9. Then, the control box or controller will control the rotary motor 3 to start. At this time, the rotary shaft 4 will drive the clamping arms A7 and B8 holding the inverted turnover box 1 to rotate simultaneously under the drive of the rotary motor 3. The inverted turnover box 1 will be flipped over under the rotation of clamping arms A7 and B8 (the flipping process is as follows). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown), so that the turnover box 1 is in an upright position (as shown). Figure 4 As shown), in preparation for loading into the aluminum shell for inter-process transfer, until the bottom of the upright turnover box 1 contacts the conveyor belt 2, the operation control box or controller controls the two clamping cylinders 9 to retract their piston rods simultaneously. At this time, the clamping plates A12 and B13 will release the turnover box 1 clamped between the clamping arms A7 and B8 under the simultaneous retraction of the two clamping cylinders 9. The rotary motor 3 will rotate the rotating shaft 4 to the initial position at the same time as the turnover box 1 is released, in preparation for the next inverted turnover box 1 to flip over. The upright turnover box 1 will continue to move on the conveyor belt 2 under the release until the upright turnover box 1 reaches the discharge port of the aluminum shell production process. Example 2:
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5As another objective of this utility model, an aluminum shell production line is provided, in which the above-mentioned turnover box conveying and turning device is provided. Therefore, the aluminum shell production line can obtain any of the beneficial effects of the turnover box conveying and turning device described above, which will not be repeated here.
