Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide rail production equipment technology, and specifically to a flipping mechanism for slide rail production. Background Technology

[0002] The production and processing of slide rails involves multiple steps to complete their forming and assembly. Some steps require processing different surfaces of the slide rail, which necessitates transferring the slide rail, which is being processed and transported on one conveyor belt, to another conveyor belt for further processing, and performing a flipping operation on the slide rail during the transfer.

[0003] Currently, the flipping and transfer operations in the slide rail production process are usually done manually. Manual operation is not only inefficient and difficult to match the pace of automated production lines, but also increases the labor intensity of workers due to long-term repetitive labor, which can easily cause muscle damage and pose health risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a flipping mechanism for slide rail production, which can solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A flipping mechanism for slide rail production includes a frame with a rotating shaft and a conveying unit for transporting the slide rail. Two conveying units are provided, symmetrically positioned about the rotating shaft. A support rod that moves vertically is located at the center of the rotating shaft. Two turntables are symmetrically arranged about the support rod on the rotating shaft. Each turntable has slots on both its left and right sides, aligned with the conveying units. Pressure plates are located on the right side of the top and the left side of the bottom of the support rod. A drive unit on the rotating shaft moves the support rod vertically, so that the pressure plate on the right can press the slide rail into the slot, and the pressure plate on the left can release the slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating shaft has a through hole in the middle, the driving unit is a linear motor, the linear motor is fixedly installed in the through hole, and the support rod is fixedly installed on the mover of the linear motor.

[0008] Furthermore, a station divider is fixedly installed on the side of the frame, and the output end of the station divider is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, a bend-resistant plate for supporting the slide rail is provided between the slots on the same side of the two turntables.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying unit includes two conveyor belts arranged in front and behind and two rollers arranged in the left and right. Each of the two rollers is fixedly connected to a pulley that cooperates with the conveyor belt. Both ends of the rollers are rotatably connected to the frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the side of the frame, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rollers.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is equipped with a load-bearing plate inside, which is fixed to the frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] By setting up symmetrical conveyor units and a rotatable turntable structure, along with a pressure plate that can move vertically, the slide rail can be automatically flipped and transferred between the two conveyor units without manual operation. This effectively improves production efficiency, matches the rhythm of automated production lines, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and avoids the health hazards caused by long-term repetitive labor.

[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a flipping mechanism for slide rail production includes a frame 1, on which a rotating shaft 2 and a conveying unit for conveying slide rails 16 are provided. Two conveying units are provided, symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 2, for conveying slide rails 16 to be flipped and receiving slide rails 16 after flipping, respectively. A support rod 3 that moves vertically is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 2. Two turntables 4 are symmetrically arranged about the support rod 3 on the rotating shaft 2. Each turntable 4 has slots 5 on both its left and right sides, aligned with the conveying units, for accommodating the slide rails 16. Pressure plates 6 are provided on the right side of the top and the left side of the bottom of the support rod 3. A drive unit on the rotating shaft 2 drives the support rod 3 to move vertically, so that the pressure plate 6 on the right can press the slide rail 16 into the slot 5, and the pressure plate 6 on the left can release the slide rail 16.

[0022] The rotating shaft 2 has a through hole 7 in the middle. The drive unit includes a linear motor 8, which is fixedly installed in the through hole 7. The support rod 3 is fixedly installed on the mover of the linear motor 8. The linear motor 8 drives the support rod 3 to move downward, causing the pressure plate 6 on the right to descend and press the slide rail 16 against the slot 5. At the same time, the pressure plate 6 on the left descends and releases the slide rail 16. This enables the support rod 3 to move in a precise linear motion, ensuring the accuracy of the pressing and releasing action of the pressure plate 6 on the slide rail 16.

[0023] A station divider 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the frame 1. The output end of the station divider 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 2. The station divider 9 can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate at a precise angle to ensure the accuracy of the 180-degree rotation of the turntable, so that the flipped slide rail 16 can be accurately aligned with the conveying unit on the other side.

[0024] A bend-resistant plate 10 for supporting the slide rail 16 is provided between the slots 5 on the same side of the two turntables 4. The bend-resistant plate 10 can provide support for the slide rail 16 when the pressure plate 6 presses the slide rail 16, so as to prevent the slide rail 16 from bending and deforming under pressure and ensure the production quality of the slide rail 16.

[0025] The conveying unit includes two conveyor belts 11 arranged in front and behind and two rollers 12 arranged in the left and right. Each roller 12 is fixedly connected to a pulley 13 that cooperates with the conveyor belt 11. The two ends of the roller 12 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1. The output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rollers 12. The motor 14 drives the roller 12 to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 11 to move through the pulley 13, thereby realizing the conveying of the slide rail 16.

[0026] The conveyor belt 11 is equipped with a load-bearing plate 15 inside. The load-bearing plate 15 is fixed on the frame 1. The load-bearing plate 15 can support the conveyor belt 11, enhance the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor belt 11, prevent the conveyor belt 11 from denting due to the weight of the slide rail 16, and ensure the stability of the conveying process.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, during use, the slide rail 16 to be flipped is conveyed from the right-side conveyor unit to the right-side slot 5. At this time, the linear motor 8 drives the support rod 3 to move downward, and the pressure plate 6 on the right descends to press the slide rail 16 into the right-side slot 5. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 6 on the left descends, releasing the slide rail 16 that has been flipped in the left-side slot 5. The slide rail 16 is then conveyed to the next process by the left-side conveyor unit. Subsequently, the rotating shaft 2 rotates 180 degrees, causing the turntable 4 and the pressed slide rail 16 to flip together. After flipping... After completion, the positions of the left and right pressure plates 6 are exchanged. The linear motor 8 drives the support rod 3 to continue moving downward (relative to the previous movement direction, the support rod 3 moves upward). At this moment, the left pressure plate 6 descends and releases the slide rail 16 that has been flipped. The slide rail 16 is transported to the next process by the left conveyor unit. At the same time, the right pressure plate 6 descends and continues to press the slide rail 16 to be flipped into the slot 5. The above operation is repeated to realize the continuous flipping and transfer of the slide rail 16.

[0029] It enables the slide rail 16 to be automatically flipped and transferred between two conveying units without manual operation, which effectively improves production efficiency, matches the cycle time of automated production lines, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and avoids the health hazards caused by long-term repetitive labor.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
