[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example: Figures 1-6 As shown, a dual-station flipping and conveying device includes a flipping mechanism 10, a lateral moving mechanism 20, and a longitudinal moving mechanism 30; the flipping mechanism 10, the lateral moving mechanism 20, and the longitudinal moving mechanism 30 are arranged in layers and are all driven by cylinders.

[0029] like Figures 2-5As shown, the flipping mechanism 10 is located at the top and is used to flip the workpiece to be processed so that the reverse side of the workpiece faces upward. The flipping mechanism 10 includes a single-rod cylinder 109, a rack and pinion transmission assembly, and a flipping platform assembly. The single-rod cylinder 109 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder mounting plate C1010 via a long pad 1011, and its piston end is fixedly connected to a slider mounting plate. Two sliders C1014 are connected below the slider mounting plate and slide on the linear guide C1015 provided above the cylinder mounting plate C1010.

The vacuum adsorption component 1034 is symmetrically distributed on the two sets of flipping platforms 103. Each set of flipping platforms 103 is equipped with a dual-station adsorption structure for simultaneously adsorbing and releasing two workpieces to be processed.

[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the lateral moving mechanism 20 is located in the middle layer and is used to move the flipping mechanism 10 laterally, moving a group of workpieces adsorbed on the flipping mechanism 10 laterally to place them on two parallel conveyor tracks; the lateral moving mechanism 20 includes a rodless cylinder B201, the end caps of which are fixedly connected to the lower cylinder mounting plate B207, and the slider of the rodless cylinder B201 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder mounting plate C1010.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the longitudinal moving mechanism 30 is located at the bottom layer and is fixedly connected to one end between two parallel conveyor tracks of the next process. It is used to longitudinally move another set of workpieces to be processed on the flipping mechanism 10 to place them on the two parallel conveyor tracks. The longitudinal moving mechanism 30 includes a rodless cylinder A305, whose two end caps are fixedly connected to the lower cylinder mounting plate A306. The slider of the rodless cylinder A305 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder mounting plate B207. When the slider of the rodless cylinder A305 moves longitudinally, it drives the upper transverse moving mechanism 20 and the flipping mechanism 10 to move longitudinally as a whole. The cylinder mounting plate B207 is connected to a mounting plate on one side via a... The mounting plate connecting block 301 is equipped with a guide slider A302 to ensure the stability of longitudinal movement.

The guide slider A302 is set parallel to the longitudinal movement direction to ensure the linear stability of the longitudinal movement.

[0032] The flipping mechanism 10 flips the workpiece to be processed from 0 to 180 degrees so that the reverse side of the workpiece is facing upwards before entering the next process. The workpiece is then moved by the transverse moving mechanism 20 and the longitudinal moving mechanism 30 to place two sets of workpieces to be processed onto the conveyor track.

[0033] Working process and principle:

[0034] In the initial position, the piston of the single-rod cylinder 109 retracts, the tilting platform 103 faces downwards, and the lateral positioning cylinder 1032 and longitudinal positioning cylinder 1038 on the tilting platform 103 are in the released state. The slider of the rodless cylinder A305 is in the longitudinal rear position, and the slider of the rodless cylinder B201 is in the lateral left position. The workpiece to be processed is fed from above by the robot arm. The piston of the single-rod cylinder 109 extends, driving the slider and rack 107 to move. The rack 107 meshes with the gear 106 to rotate, causing the tilting platform 103 to rotate 180° upwards. After docking with the robot arm above, the vacuum adsorption component 1034 adsorbs the four workpieces to be processed at the dual workstations. At the same time, the lateral positioning cylinder 1032 and longitudinal positioning cylinder 1038 on the tilting platform 103 clamp the workpieces. Then, the single-rod cylinder 109 retracts, and the tilting platform 103 returns to the downward position after adsorbing the workpieces to be processed. The loading and tilting action is completed.

[0035] After the loading and flipping are completed, the lateral movement mechanism 20 is activated, i.e., the rodless cylinder B201 is activated. The slider of the rodless cylinder B201 drives the upper flipping mechanism 10 to move laterally to the right a certain distance. After the two parallel conveyor tracks of the next process are in place, the vacuum adsorption component 1034 on the flipping platform 103 releases one set; the two workpieces to be processed are placed on the two parallel conveyor tracks, completing the transfer of the two workpieces to be processed in the dual-station operation. After the conveyor belt moves away, the longitudinal movement mechanism 30 is activated, i.e., the rodless cylinder A305 is activated. The slider of the rodless cylinder A305 drives the upper flipping mechanism 10 and the lateral movement mechanism 20 to move longitudinally forward by one station distance, so that the other two workpieces to be processed reach above the two parallel conveyor tracks. The vacuum adsorption component 1034 of the flipping platform 103 releases the workpieces to be processed, completing the transfer of the remaining two workpieces to be processed in the dual-station operation.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
