[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, 180° rotation of screen modules is one of the processes used for assembly, inspection, and cleaning. Currently, screen modules are typically attached using suction cup modules, which integrate suction cups, cylinders, and control modules. Existing devices have significant drawbacks in dynamic rotation. Because the suction cups, cylinders, and control modules need to be connected to the outside world via wiring harnesses for signal transmission and power supply, when the rotating device rotates the suction cup module 180° back and forth, the wiring harnesses repeatedly twist with the rotation axis, easily leading to tangling and knotting. This can cause signal transmission interruptions, cylinder malfunctions, frequent downtime for maintenance, and reduced production efficiency. Furthermore, the chaotic management of the wiring harnesses increases the difficulty of equipment maintenance. Summary of the Invention

The bearing housing 21 is mounted on the frame 1 and has a bearing cavity 211 extending through it. The outer ring of the bearing 24 is supported within the bearing cavity 211. The end of the rotating component is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 24, and both ends of the rotating component have coaxial wire-passing holes. The wire-passing holes are coaxially arranged with the inner ring. The wire-passing holes at both ends are marked as the first wire-passing hole and the second wire-passing hole.
[0034] Drive component 3 drives the rotating component to rotate.
[0035] The automatic screen module flipping device described in this embodiment fixes the screen module on the rotating part and uses the drive component 3 to drive the rotating part, thereby realizing the flipping of the screen module. The external wire harness passes through the bearing cavity 211, the inner ring of the bearing 24 and the wire hole from one side of the frame 1, and is electrically connected to the electrical components located on the rotating part. When the rotating part rotates, the wire harness always travels along the rotation center axis of the rotating part. Its torsional force is evenly distributed on the entire wire harness. By forcing the wire harness to move along a fixed trajectory, the friction and entanglement caused by the swing or offset of the wire harness are eliminated, thereby reducing the knotting and entanglement of the wire harness.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the frame 1 is configured as a frame structure connected by multiple root profiles 12. The profiles (such as aluminum profiles) have lightweight and high strength characteristics, are easy to assemble and expand, and can adapt to the needs of different production scenarios.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating component 2 includes a bearing 24 and a bearing housing 21 disposed on the same side of the frame 1. The bearing housing 21 is fixed to the frame 1 by screws. The outer ring of the bearing 24 is interference-fitted with the bearing cavity 211, and the inner ring of the bearing 24 is interference-fitted with one end of the rotating component.

The limiting boss 41 can abut against the bearing seat 21 axially to prevent the rotating part from axially transmitting, thereby reducing the vibration of the rotating part.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a photoelectric switch is also included. The photoelectric switch includes a photoelectric sensor 5 and a baffle 51. The photoelectric sensor 5 is disposed on the frame 1, and the baffle 51 is disposed on the first connecting plate. When the baffle 51 rotates with the first connecting plate to a specific angle, the photoelectric sensor 5 detects the baffle 51 and can read the rotation angle of the rotating part to ensure that the flipping action is accurate and in place.

[0056] The working principle of the automatic screen module flipping device described in this utility model is as follows:
[0057] The conveyor line transports the screen module to the area below the opening component. The driver drives the pressure head 71 to descend and press the switch of the screen module to open it. Then, the conveyor line continues to transport the screen module to the area below the suction cup module 6. The suction cup module 6 attracts and lifts the screen module to a predetermined height. Subsequently, the motor 31 drives the rotating component to rotate 180°, and the screen module follows the rotating component to rotate 180°.
