Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toothbrush manufacturing technology, specifically to a toothbrush flipping structure used in toothbrush production. Background Technology

[0002] In the toothbrush production process, toothbrushes are first placed in a material trough and then fed by a feeding conveyor structure. Sometimes, the bristles are facing upwards or downwards during feeding. To ensure the normal operation of subsequent toothbrush production, it is necessary to ensure that the bristles are facing the same direction, which requires flipping some toothbrushes. Existing toothbrush flipping structures, such as those shown in Chinese Utility Model Application No. 201520022700.0, use a rotating cylinder and clamping plates to hold and rotate one end of the toothbrush to achieve flipping. However, relying solely on clamping from one side results in inconsistent toothbrush positions and unstable clamping, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a toothbrush flipping structure for toothbrush production includes a first fixing plate 2 and a second fixing plate 3. The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are spaced apart and connected to a fixed frame 1. The first fixing plate is provided with a rotating structure, and the second fixing plate is provided with a limiting structure. The rotating structure and the limiting structure cooperate to achieve toothbrush flipping.

[0020] Specifically, a first positioning plate 4 is vertically slidably connected to the first fixed plate, and an adjustment plate 6 is horizontally slidably connected to the first positioning plate. The sliding direction is the length direction of the toothbrush, and a rotating head 8 is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate.

[0021] A motor 7 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 6, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating head. The end face of the rotating head is recessed to hold one end of the toothbrush. A first cylinder 5 is provided on the first positioning plate, and the free end of the first cylinder 5 is connected to the adjusting plate 6 to drive the adjusting plate and the rotating head on the adjusting plate to move laterally. A horizontal plate is provided on the first fixed plate, and a through hole is provided on the horizontal plate. A through rod 14 is provided at the lower end of the first positioning plate through the through hole. An auxiliary cylinder 15 is provided on the first fixed plate, and the auxiliary cylinder is connected to the through rod. Preferably, there are two sets of through rod, through hole, and horizontal plate.

[0022] Furthermore, a second positioning plate 9 is vertically slidably connected to the first fixed plate, and a second adjusting plate 10 is horizontally slidably connected to the second positioning plate. The adjusting plate has a limiting block with a limiting groove on the side near the rotating head. A second cylinder 11 is mounted on the second positioning plate, with its free end connected to the second adjusting plate. The second adjusting plate has a threaded hole, and a screw 13 is screwed into the threaded hole. Two sets of nuts are mounted on the screw, distributed on both sides of the adjusting plate. An extension rod is mounted on the end of the screw near the rotating head, and the extension rod is rotatably connected to the limiting block 12. The rotatable connection can be achieved through a bearing connection. The screw is used to adjust for toothbrushes of different lengths. The sliding connection between the second positioning plate and the second fixed plate is the same as the sliding connection between the first and second fixed plates.

[0023] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the toothbrush is placed on the conveying structure and conveyed between the limiting structure and the rotating structure, the first cylinder and the second cylinder operate, causing the rotating head and the limiting block to clamp both ends of the toothbrush. Then, the auxiliary cylinder operates, causing the toothbrush to rise above the conveying structure. Afterward, the motor rotates, the toothbrush flips, the auxiliary cylinder resets, and then the first and second cylinders reset. The toothbrush then flips and proceeds to the next process. A sensor should be installed on the fixed frame to sense the orientation of the toothbrush head.

[0024] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
