Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter manufacturing technology, specifically to a conveying state switching device for printing on filter housings. Background Technology
[0002] When printing on the filter housing, the cylindrical housing, which is placed vertically during transport, needs to be switched to a horizontal position to ensure printing accuracy. This switching is a key step in the printing process.
[0003] Currently, state switching is mostly done manually or with complex equipment: manual operation is labor-intensive, inefficient, and inaccurate in positioning, which restricts production automation; while complex equipment has problems such as poor adaptability.
[0004] The closest prior art to this application is the patent with publication number CN220165082U entitled "A filter housing conveying mechanism", which includes a feeding mechanism and a moving and flipping mechanism, and can realize the conveying and flipping of the housing, but the core is used for spraying or cleaning and is not adapted to the specific needs of printing.
[0005] The existing patent has obvious shortcomings: First, the clamping and flipping component has a complex structure and high cost, and is prone to scratching the outer shell, affecting printing; second, there is no dedicated pushing and positioning mechanism, and positioning deviation can easily lead to jamming or falling off; third, there is no lifting and discharge structure, the action is not smooth and cannot meet the needs of continuous printing; fourth, there is no interval conveying design, which can easily cause the outer shell to accumulate and interfere.
[0006] In summary, existing devices cannot efficiently and stably achieve the switching of conveying states before printing, and are difficult to adapt to the needs of automated printing production lines. Therefore, developing a switching device with a simple structure, accurate positioning, and reliable operation is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0007] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0008] This application provides a conveying state switching device for printing filter housings, including a conveying unit for conveying filters, and further including a pushing unit, a receiving and flipping unit, and a lifting unit. The receiving and flipping unit is located outside the conveying unit, and the pushing unit is located at the end of the conveying unit and corresponds to the conveying unit. It is used to push the filter from the conveying unit into the receiving and flipping unit. The receiving and flipping unit is used to receive the filter and switch it from vertical placement to horizontal placement. The lifting unit is used to push the filter after the conveying state has been changed out of the receiving and flipping unit.
[0009] Furthermore, the receiving and flipping unit includes a flipping frame, a receiving slot, and a baffle. The end of the flipping frame near the conveying unit is hinged to an external frame and driven to flip by a rotary driver. The receiving slot is opened on the flipping frame and its width is smaller than the diameter of the filter. The baffle is fixed on the top surface of the flipping frame near the end of the conveying unit.
[0010] Furthermore, the lifting unit includes a lifting block and an inclined pushing surface. The lifting block is driven by a lifting device to push the filter, after the conveying state has changed, out of the receiving slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotary drive is a cylinder with its two ends hinged to the bottom surface of the tilting frame and the outer frame, respectively, and the lower end of the rotary drive is away from the conveying unit.
[0012] Furthermore, the conveying unit is a conveyor belt.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting baffle, which is disposed at the end of the conveying unit to block and align the first filter with the pushing unit.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a blocking block, which is mounted on top of the conveying unit by a cylinder and is used to block the next filter. The conveying and pushing unit is located between the blocking block and the limiting baffle.
[0015] Furthermore, the pushing unit includes a pushing block, which is mounted on top of the conveying unit via a cylinder.
[0016] Furthermore, the pushing block is made of rubber.
[0017] Furthermore, the conveying unit is a conveyor belt.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. By setting up a coordinated structure of conveying unit, pushing unit, receiving and flipping unit and lifting unit, each unit works in an orderly manner to complete the filter conveying, pushing, flipping and discharging actions, effectively replacing manual operation, reducing labor intensity and cost, improving state switching efficiency and continuity, and adapting to the needs of automated printing production lines.
[0020] 2. By cooperating with the flipping frame, receiving slot, baffle and rotary drive of the receiving flipping unit, as well as the lifting block and inclined push surface of the lifting unit, the filter can be flipped and discharged smoothly. The structure is simple and reliable, ensuring the stability and accuracy of state switching, and avoiding jamming and falling off problems.
[0021] 3. By setting limit baffles and blocking blocks, the limit baffles position the first filter to ensure accurate pushing, and the blocking blocks enable the filters to be transported one by one at intervals, avoiding accumulation and interference, improving the orderliness of the switching process, and reducing the risk of material jamming.

[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the filter housing printing conveying state switching device provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] This application provides a filter housing printing conveying state switching device, including a conveying unit 1 for conveying the filter, and further including a pushing unit 2, a receiving and flipping unit 3, and a lifting unit 4. The receiving and flipping unit 3 is located outside the conveying unit 1, the pushing unit 2 is located at the end of the conveying unit 1 and corresponds to the conveying unit 1, and is used to push the filter from the conveying unit 1 into the receiving and flipping unit 3. The receiving and flipping unit 3 is used to receive the filter and switch it from vertical placement to horizontal placement. The lifting unit 4 is used to push the filter after the conveying state has been changed out of the receiving and flipping unit 3.
[0031] In this embodiment of the application, the conveying unit 1 is a conveyor belt.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, due to the above structure, the filter is continuously and automatically conveyed through the conveying unit 1. The pushing unit 2 accurately pushes the filter on the conveying unit 1 into the receiving and flipping unit 3. The receiving and flipping unit 3 then switches the filter from a vertical to a horizontal position. Finally, the lifting unit 4 pushes the filter out of the receiving and flipping unit 3 after the attitude adjustment is completed. The various units cooperate with each other to realize the automatic switching of the conveying state of the filter shell before printing, without manual intervention, which improves the continuity of filter conveying and attitude adjustment and the efficiency of operation.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] In this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the receiving and flipping unit 3 includes a flipping frame 31, a receiving slot 32, and a baffle 33. The end of the flipping frame 31 near the conveying unit 1 is hinged to an external frame and driven to flip by a rotary driver. The receiving slot 32 is opened on the flipping frame 31 and its width is smaller than the diameter of the filter. The baffle 33 is fixed on the top surface of the flipping frame 31 near the end of the conveying unit 1.
[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the lifting unit 4 includes a lifting block 41 and an inclined pushing surface 42. The lifting block 41 is driven by a lifting device to push the filter with the changed conveying state out of the receiving slot 32.
[0036] In this embodiment of the application, the rotary drive is a cylinder and its two ends are respectively hinged to the bottom surface of the tilting frame 31 and the external frame, and the lower end of the rotary drive is away from the conveying unit 1.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, due to the above structure, the tilting frame 31, which is hinged to the external frame, drives the receiving trough 32 and the baffle 33 to tilt stably under the drive of the rotary driver. The receiving trough 32 can stably receive the filter, and the baffle 33 can limit the filter pushing process to prevent the filter from deviating and falling off. At the same time, with the lifting unit 4 composed of the lifting block 41, the inclined pushing surface 42 and the lifting device, the filter after horizontal tilting can be smoothly pushed out of the receiving trough 32, realizing stable discharge after attitude switching. The overall structure is compact and the operation is reliable, effectively ensuring the stability and accuracy of filter conveying state switching.
[0038] Example 3:
[0039] In this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, a limiting baffle 5 is also included, which is disposed at the end of the conveying unit 1 to block and align the first filter with the pushing unit 2.
[0040] In this embodiment of the application, a blocking block 6 is also included, which is mounted on top of the conveying unit 1 by a cylinder and is used to block the next filter. The conveying and pushing unit 2 is located between the blocking block 6 and the limiting baffle 5.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, due to the above structure, the first filter is blocked and positioned by the limiting baffle 5 at the end of the conveying unit 1, so that it is precisely aligned with the pushing unit 2, ensuring accurate pushing position; at the same time, the blocking block 6 driven by the cylinder at the top of the conveying unit 1 temporarily blocks the subsequent filters, realizing the sequential conveying of filters, avoiding the simultaneous accumulation and interference of multiple filters, further improving the accuracy of the pushing action of the pushing unit 2 and the orderliness of the entire conveying state switching process, effectively reducing the risk of material jamming.
[0042] Example 4:
[0043] In this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the pushing unit 2 includes a pushing block 21, which is mounted on top of the conveying unit 1 by a cylinder.
[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the pushing block 21 is made of rubber.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, due to the above structure, the filter is stably pushed by the cylinder-driven push block 21. The rubber push block 21 can play a buffering and protective role during the pushing process, avoiding damage such as scratches and deformation to the filter shell caused by rigid contact. While ensuring stable and reliable pushing action and smooth switching of conveying state, it improves the protection of filter products and is more suitable for the fine conveying needs of filter shell printing.
