[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a flipping device for transporting sheet metal, comprising a support plate 1, a frame 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the support plate 1, a first servo motor 3 fixedly mounted on one side of the frame 2, a rotating rod 4 connected to the output end of the first servo motor 3, a conveyor belt 5 provided on the surface of the rotating rod 4, support rods 6 fixedly mounted on both sides of the support plate 1, an auxiliary guide plate 7 fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 6, a support frame 8 fixedly mounted on the surface of the support plate 1, an electric hydraulic push rod 9 fixedly mounted on the surface of the support frame 8, a connecting plate 10 fixedly connected to one end of the electric hydraulic push rod 9, a second servo motor 11 fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 10, a connecting plate 12 connected to the output end of the second servo motor 11, an electric push rod 13 fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 12, a clamping plate 14 fixedly connected to one end of the electric push rod 13, and a support leg 15 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate 1.
[0020] The worker places the sheet material between two auxiliary guide plates 7 on the conveyor belt 5. The auxiliary guide plates 7 provide auxiliary guidance, ensuring the sheet material is accurately transported between two clamping plates 14 for clamping and flipping. After placement, the first servo motor 3 starts, driving the conveyor belt 5 to rotate via the rotating rod 4. The rotating conveyor belt 5 moves the sheet material, facilitating its transport. Once the sheet material is between the clamping plates 14, the electric hydraulic push rod 9 starts, causing the connecting plate 10 to descend, adjusting the height of the clamping plates 14 and moving them to both sides of the sheet material. The electric push rod 13 then moves the clamping plates 14, and the clamping plates 14, through compression, clamp the sheet material to both sides. The plate is clamped and fixed, and simultaneously, the electric hydraulic push rod 9 is activated to drive the clamping plate 14 and the clamped plate to rise, causing the plate to detach from the surface of the conveyor belt 5. The second servo motor 11 is activated to drive the clamping plate 14 and the clamped plate to flip, turning the plate 180 degrees. After flipping, the electric hydraulic push rod 9 drives the flipped plate to fall back to the surface of the conveyor belt 5. The electric push rod 13 retracts and resets, loosening the fixed plate. This allows the plate to be flipped, making it suitable for different processing steps, facilitating cutting, stamping, and other processing operations. The conveyor belt 5 can transport the flipped plate. All electrical equipment in this device is powered by an external power source. The motors, electric push rods, etc., of this utility model are all controlled by a PLC automatic control system.
[0021] In one aspect of this embodiment, an auxiliary guide plate 7 located above the conveyor belt 5 is used to provide auxiliary guidance for the sheet material. The sheet material can be placed between two auxiliary guide plates 7 on the conveyor belt 5, so that the sheet material can be accurately transported between two clamping plates 14, which facilitates clamping and flipping of the sheet material by the clamping plates 14.
[0022] In one aspect of this embodiment, after the first servo motor 3 is started, the first servo motor 3 can drive the conveyor belt 5 to rotate through the rotating rod 4. During the rotation of the conveyor belt 5, the sheet material can be moved, thereby transporting the sheet material. The anti-slip pad on the surface of the conveyor belt 5 is used to provide anti-slip protection for the sheet material.
[0023] In one aspect of this embodiment, four reinforcing plates 16 are used to enhance the stability between the four support legs 15, improve the strength of the support legs 15, and prevent insufficient stability of the support legs 15.
[0024] In one aspect of this embodiment, the rubber protrusion on one side of the clamping plate 14 serves to provide anti-slip protection for the clamped plate, thereby enhancing the stability and accuracy of the plate during subsequent flipping.
[0025] In one aspect of this embodiment, the warning light 18 is used to provide a warning about the surrounding area where the device is used.
[0026] In one aspect of this embodiment, the support leg 15 can be fixed to the ground through the mounting hole 17, thereby installing and fixing the device.
[0027] 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.
