Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flipping conveyor equipment, and in particular to a grinding wheel flipping device based on a twisted conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing and quality inspection process of grinding wheels, comprehensive inspection usually requires checking both sides. Currently, the turning operation of grinding wheels mainly relies on several methods: the most common is manual turning, but this method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to damage to the grinding wheel due to fatigue and operational errors, affecting the accuracy of subsequent inspections. There are also some simple mechanical turning solutions, such as using cylinders or levers, but these solutions are not smooth enough, may cause impact damage to the grinding wheel, and have poor adaptability to different product specifications. A more advanced solution is to use multi-axis industrial robots. Although the degree of automation is high, the system cost is expensive, programming and debugging are complex, and the maintenance threshold and cost are high. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grinding wheel turning device based on a twisted conveyor belt to solve the above problems.
[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A grinding wheel turning device based on a twisted conveyor belt includes a feeding and conveying mechanism, a turning mechanism for turning the turning part, a fixing mechanism for providing fixation, and a tension adjusting mechanism for adjusting the tension of the turning mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes an adjusting frame and a base. Two adjusting frames are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the base. The adjusting frames are connected to the base through the tension adjusting mechanism.
[0006] The flipping mechanism is installed inside the adjusting frame. The flipping mechanism includes a flipping conveyor belt, an upper roller, and a lower roller. Each adjusting frame has a set of upper rollers and lower rollers installed vertically inside. The flipping conveyor belt is wound between the two sets of flipping conveyor belts and the upper roller. The flipping conveyor belt has a "Möbius strip" structure under the support of the upper roller and the lower roller.
[0007] A motor unit is connected to the end of the lower roller shaft on one side. The flipping component is flipped by transmission through the inside of the flipping conveyor belt. Feeding and conveying mechanisms are provided at both the inlet and outlet of the flipping conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, the feeding and conveying mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt and a feeding main shaft. The feeding conveyor belt is wound around the feeding main shaft, and the upper end face of the feeding conveyor belt is at the same water level as the inlet position of the overturning conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, the motor assembly includes a motor and a reducer, and the lower roller is connected to the output end of the reducer via a key.
[0010] Preferably, the tension adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment bolt and an adjustment block. The adjustment block is snapped onto the base and fixed to the tilting conveyor belt by the adjustment bolt. The other end of the adjustment block is fixed to the bottom of the adjustment frame by a connecting rod.
[0011] Preferably, the flipping conveyor belt is fed out from the upper roller on one side and flipped 180° to cooperate with the lower roller on the other side.
[0012] Preferably, the surface of the reversible conveyor belt is formed with friction texture.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] With its simple structure and low cost, this solution eliminates the need for expensive robots or complex rotating gripping structures, achieving flipping solely through a twisting conveyor belt, significantly reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance complexity. Furthermore, this design enables continuous operation with high efficiency. Because the flipping and conveying processes are integrated, "flipping while moving" is achieved, eliminating the need to stop at the workstation and improving production cycle time. Simultaneously, the gradual and smooth flipping process ensures uniform force on the grinding wheel and stable support throughout, effectively avoiding impacts and vibrations, thereby minimizing product damage.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a grinding wheel turning device based on a twisted conveyor belt includes a feeding conveyor 3, a turning mechanism 2 for turning the turning part 6, a fixing mechanism 1 for providing fixation, and a tension adjusting mechanism 5 for adjusting the tension of the turning mechanism 2. The fixing mechanism 1 includes an adjusting frame 11 and a base 12. Two adjusting frames 11 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the base 12. The adjusting frames 11 are connected to the base 12 through the tension adjusting mechanism 5.
[0026] The flipping mechanism 2 is installed inside the adjusting frame 11. The flipping mechanism 2 includes a flipping conveyor belt 21, an upper roller 22, and a lower roller 23. Each adjusting frame 11 has a set of upper roller 22 and lower roller 23 vertically installed inside. The flipping conveyor belt 21 is wound between the two sets of flipping conveyor belts 21 and the upper roller 22. The flipping conveyor belt 21 has a "Möbius strip" structure under the support of the upper roller 22 and the lower roller 23.
[0027] A motor unit 4 is connected to the end of the lower roller 23 on one side. The flipping part 6 is flipped by transmission through the inside of the flipping conveyor belt 21. The inlet and outlet of the flipping conveyor belt 21 are equipped with feeding and conveying mechanisms 3.
[0028] In this embodiment, the feeding and conveying mechanism 3 includes a feeding conveyor belt 31 and a feeding main shaft 32. The feeding conveyor belt 31 is wound around the feeding main shaft 32, and the upper end face of the feeding conveyor belt 31 is at the same water level as the inlet position of the flipping conveyor belt 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, the motor unit 4 includes a motor and a reducer. The lower roller 23 is connected to the output end of the reducer by a key. The use of a motor unit 4 ensures the synchronization of the book delivery 21, thereby ensuring the stable effect of flipping the flipping part 6.
[0030] In this embodiment, the tension adjustment mechanism 5 includes an adjustment bolt and an adjustment block. The adjustment block is snapped onto the base 12 and fixed to the tilting conveyor belt 21 by the adjustment bolt. The other end of the adjustment block is fixed to the bottom of the adjustment frame 11 by a connecting rod.
[0031] In this embodiment, the flip conveyor belt 21 is fed out from the upper roller 22 on one side and flipped 180° to cooperate with the lower roller 23 on the other side.
[0032] In this embodiment, the surface of the flipping conveyor belt 21 is formed with friction texture.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] When the system starts, the single-motor drive system, i.e., motor unit 4, begins to work, driving the folded and twisted reversing conveyor belt 21. The reversing component 6 is conveyed from the feeding conveyor belt 31 to the feed end of the reversing conveyor belt 21, where it is smoothly clamped and transported to the twisting area of the reversing conveyor belt 21. In this core area, the 180-degree geometric twist design of the reversing conveyor belt 21 itself guides the reversing component 6 to smoothly complete a 180-degree flip during its forward movement. Because only one reversing conveyor belt 21 is used, there is no speed difference, the flipping process is stable and reliable, without any slippage or deflection, and finally the fully flipped component 6 is continuously transported to the next process. The entire process is fully automatic and requires no interruption.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
