[0031] Existing manual flipping methods pose significant safety risks, especially when handling boards weighing nearly 2 tons and reaching 3.6 meters in length. The slings are prone to wear and tear, and improper operation can lead to the boards tilting, falling, or causing injury. To address this issue, an automated flipping device has been designed.

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides an automatic board flipping device, which optimizes the safety hazards of manual board flipping using slings and cranes in the current industry. The automatic board flipping device includes a frame 10, a flipping frame 20, and a hydraulic drive unit 30. The flipping frame 20 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 and is driven to flip by the hydraulic drive unit 30.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 2The frame 10 is fixedly installed on the ground, providing stable support for the entire device and serving as a support and load-bearing component. In this embodiment, the main structure of the frame 10 includes a first support part 101, a pivot part 102, and a second support part 103. Two of each of the first support part 101, pivot part 102, and second support part 103 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support. The pivot part 102 is located between the first support part 101 and the second support part 103. The tilting frame 20 is pivotally connected to the pivot part 102 via a rotating shaft. The hydraulic drive unit 30 is pivotally connected to the pivot part 102 at its end furthest from the output end, and its output end is pivotally connected to the tilting frame 20. Multiple foot adjustment components 10 are installed at the bottom of the frame 10. 4. The entire device is stabilized in the workshop by the foot adjustment assembly 104. In this embodiment, the foot adjustment assembly 104 includes a hollow foot adjustment bolt and a foot fixing plate connected to the hollow foot adjustment bolt. The foot fixing plate is in contact with the ground. The height is adjusted by the hollow foot adjustment bolt to make the entire device balanced and stable on the ground. During operation, the hydraulic drive unit 30 drives the tilting frame 20 to tilt 90 degrees along the pivot 102, so that the tilting frame 20 abuts against the first support 101 or the second support 103. The entire tilting and conveying process is automated, requiring no manual intervention, reducing the intensity of manual labor, avoiding human error, and improving production efficiency and work safety.

[0035] The hydraulic drive unit 30 is used to drive the tilting frame 20 to tilt. The hydraulic drive unit 30 includes two hydraulic cylinders, which are respectively located on the two pivot parts 102. The hydraulic cylinders drive the tilting frame 20 to tilt precisely, providing sufficient power to handle plates weighing nearly 2 tons. Using hydraulic cylinders to drive the tilting frame 20 avoids safety hazards such as wear and tear on the slings and improper operation of the crane in traditional manual operation. The precise control of the hydraulic system ensures the safety and stability of the plate tilting and avoids human error.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 The flipping frame 20 is used to support the plate. The flipping frame 20 is L-shaped and includes a clamping and conveying part 201 and a flipping part 202 located at one end of the clamping and conveying part 201 and perpendicular to the clamping and conveying part 201. At the connection between the clamping and conveying part 201 and the flipping part 202, there are triangular connecting blocks 203 on both sides that are pivotally connected to two pivot parts 102. The triangular connecting blocks 203 are provided with hinge holes. By passing a rotating shaft through the hinge holes, the flipping frame 20 can be pivotally connected to the pivot parts 102 to achieve rotation.

[0037] The clamping and conveying section 201 is equipped with two clamping components 204, respectively located on the front and rear sides of the clamping and conveying section 201. Each clamping component 204 includes a support rod assembly 2041, a slide rail assembly 2042 mounted on the support rod assembly 2041, a sliding connecting seat 2043 slidably mounted on the slide rail assembly 2042, a clamping plate 2044 mounted on the sliding connecting seat 2043, and a pneumatic system 2045 that drives the sliding connecting seat 2043 to move the clamping plate 2044 in conjunction with the flipping frame 20 to clamp or release materials. When clamping a material, the pneumatic system 2045 drives the sliding connecting seat 2043 to move the clamping plate 2044 towards the flipping section 202, so that the clamping plate 2044 cooperates with the flipping section 202 to clamp the material, ensuring that the material does not slide, tilt, or fall during the flipping process. In this embodiment, the pneumatic system 2045 is a cylinder.

[0038] To prevent the clamping plate 2044 from crushing or scratching the material when clamping it, a rubber pad 2046 is provided on the end of the clamping plate that contacts the material. The clamping plate 2044 is perpendicular to one side of the clamping and conveying part 201 and parallel to the other flipping part 202. The rubber pad 2046 prevents the material from being crushed.

[0039] In addition, to facilitate the rapid output of the sheet metal to the next workstation after flipping, a non-powered conveying component 205 is also provided on the clamping and conveying section 201. This component allows the material to slide smoothly under the force of gravity and friction. The non-powered conveying component 205 includes non-powered rollers 2051 that are rotatably mounted at equal intervals on the clamping and conveying section 201. A clamping component 204 is located between two adjacent non-powered rollers 2051. After the position of the sheet metal is adjusted by the clamping component 204, the sheet metal is pushed out of the clamping and conveying section 201. With this configuration, the non-powered roller 2051 system not only simplifies the sheet metal conveying process but also reduces power consumption and the risk of equipment failure, allowing the sheet metal to smoothly enter the subsequent cutting platform.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, elastic pads 105 are provided on the top of the two first support portions 101, which contact the flipping portion 202. The elastic pads 105 are made of PU material. This arrangement effectively reduces the impact force between the flipping portion 202 and the first support portions 101. At the same time, PU material has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the elastic pads 105, reduce the replacement frequency, and lower maintenance costs. In addition, the design of the elastic pads 105 can also absorb the vibration during the flipping process to a certain extent, making the entire flipping process more stable and further improving the accuracy and safety of the board flipping.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, a buffer pad 106 is provided on the top of the two second support portions 103, which contacts the clamping and conveying portion 201. This arrangement effectively reduces the impact of the clamping and conveying portion 201 on the second support portions 103 during the flipping process, thereby protecting the stability of the entire flipping device and preventing severe misalignment of the plate during impact. The buffer pad 106 is made of highly elastic rubber material. Rubber material not only has good shock absorption performance but also maintains its shape and elasticity during long-term use, ensuring a continuous cushioning effect. In addition, rubber material also has a certain degree of wear resistance and corrosion resistance, enabling it to maintain its performance in harsh working environments, extending its service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance, and thus reducing overall operating costs. This design not only improves the durability of the flipping device but also further ensures the safety and stability of the plate during the flipping process.

[0042] In summary, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 After the sheet material is placed in the tilting section 202, the hydraulic drive unit 30 drives the tilting frame 20 to rotate 90 degrees along the pivot section 102, causing the sheet material to fall into the clamping and conveying section 201. The clamping component 204 then clamps the sheet material, ensuring that it does not slip, tilt, or fall. The sheet material is then pushed through the non-powered conveying component 205 to the subsequent working platform. Driven by a hydraulic cylinder, the tilting frame 20 is L-shaped and can accommodate sheets 2.6 meters to 3.6 meters in length, allowing it to be tilted to the required angle. The use of a hydraulically driven tilting frame 20 avoids the safety hazards of sling wear and improper crane operation in traditional manual operations. The hydraulic system provides more precise flipping control, avoiding human error; the clamping component 204 can precisely adjust the clamping force to ensure the stability of the sheet during flipping, preventing it from slipping, tilting, or falling, thus avoiding the instability or injury problems that may occur when flipping sheets manually in the traditional way; the non-powered roller 2051 system not only simplifies the sheet conveying process but also reduces power consumption and the risk of equipment failure, allowing the sheet to smoothly enter the subsequent cutting platform; the entire flipping and conveying process is automated, requiring no manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, avoiding human error, and improving production efficiency and work safety.
