The transmission assembly 5 includes a transmission shaft 51, a drive motor 52, and a transmission wheel 53. The driven assembly 7 includes a driven shaft 71, a driven gear 72, and a driven wheel 73. This solution solves the problems of unstable operation, easy impact and vibration, and inconvenient installation and disassembly of existing flipping mechanisms. It is understood that this solution enhances the stability, efficiency, and reliability of the flipping device, improves its precision, and has a simple structure, facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0021] In this embodiment, the rotating body 2 is provided above the base 1. The double-row chain 3 is fixedly provided at both ends of the rotating body 2. The transmission gear 4 meshes with the double-row chain 3 and is connected to the first support pad 6 through the transmission assembly 5. The transmission assembly 5 is connected to the transmission gear 4 and drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate. The first support pad 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1 and is located at the top of the base 1 near the four opposite corners. The driven assembly 7 is installed through the first support pad 6 and is installed at the symmetrical end of the transmission assembly 5. The pressure roller 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating body 2 and is fixedly installed on the second support pad 9. The second support pad 9 is installed between the two first support pads 6. The base 1 is used to securely install the material sorting flipping device. Two first support pads 6 are provided at each of the four diagonal points on the top of the base 1. The four front supports are used to install and support the transmission assembly 5, and the four rear supports are used to install two driven assemblies 7 respectively. Transmission gears 4 are installed at both ends of the transmission assembly 5, and are located between the two first support pads 6. The transmission assembly 5 drives the two transmission gears 4 to rotate. The rotating body 2 is limited and rotatably mounted on the transmission assembly 5 and the two driven assemblies 7. Double-row chains 3 are installed at both ends of the rotating body 2 corresponding to the positions of the two transmission gears 4. The transmission gears 4 mesh with the double-row chains 3, and the rotation of the transmission gears 4 drives the double-row chains 3 to rotate the rotating body 2. The rotating body 2 is also rotated by the first support pads 6 installed between the left and right ends. The device includes a second support pad 9, on which the pressure roller 8 is mounted via a seated bearing. The pressure roller 8 restricts the rotation of the rotating body 2, preventing it from detaching from the device. Therefore, the rotating body 2 is positioned and rotated within the device via the transmission assembly 5, the driven assembly 7, the first support pad 6, the pressure roller 8, and the second support pad 9. When the logistics sorting flipping device is in operation, items are placed on the rotating body 2. The transmission assembly 5 electrically drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the double-row chain 3 to rotate the rotating body 2. Both the driven assembly 7 and the pressure roller 8 cooperate with the rotating body 2 to achieve a 90-degree flip of the items. This enhances the stability, efficiency, and reliability of the flipping mechanism, improves its precision, and provides a simple structure for easy installation and disassembly.

The right-angle flip plate 21 is used to place items. The items are flipped 90 degrees by flipping the right-angle flip plate 21. The right-angle flip plate 21 is fixedly installed in the right-angle slots of the two arc-shaped support plates 22. The two arc-shaped support plates 22 are reinforced by a plurality of evenly distributed horizontal plates. The arc-shaped connecting plate 23 is fixedly provided on the outer arc side of each of the two arc-shaped support plates 22. The double-row chain 3 is installed on the outer arc side of the arc-shaped connecting plate 23, and the rotating body 2 is rotatably connected to the transmission component 5 and the driven component 7. The inner arc side of the arc-shaped connecting plate 23 is connected to the pressure roller 8 to limit the rotational installation of the rotating body 2. The items are placed and flipped by the right-angle flip plate 21.

[0023] Secondly, the limiting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped connecting plate 23 and is located at both ends of the two arc-shaped connecting plates 23. The limiting plate 24 is fixedly provided at both ends of the two arc-shaped connecting plates 23, and the rotation range of the rotating body 2 is limited by the limiting plates 24 at both ends to prevent the rotating body 2 from detaching from the flipping device.

[0024] Meanwhile, the drive shaft 51 is mounted on the first support pad 6 via a seated bearing; the drive motor 52 is mounted on the top of the base 1, and the output end of the drive motor 52 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 51; the drive wheel 53 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 51 and sleeved on the drive shaft 51. Both ends of the two drive shafts 51 are mounted on the two first support pads 6 via two seated bearings. The drive wheel 53 is fixedly sleeved at both ends of the drive shafts 51, located between the two first support pads 6. The two drive wheels 53 are symmetrically installed. The side of the smaller diameter end of the drive wheel 53 abuts against the outer arc side of the arc-shaped connecting plate 23, and the larger diameter side of the two drive wheels 53 abuts against the sides of the two arc-shaped connecting plates 23, used to limit the installation of the rotating body 2 and provide rotational support for the rotating body 2. The drive motor 52 is mounted at the middle position of one end of the base 1. The drive shaft 51 is fixedly mounted through the rotation output end of the drive motor 52. The drive motor 52 electrically drives the drive shaft 51 to rotate. The two ends of the drive shaft 51 are equipped with the drive gears 4, which are aligned with the double-row chains 3 mounted on the two arc-shaped connecting plates 23. The drive motor 52 drives the drive shaft 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive gears 4 and the two drive discs 53 to rotate. The two drive gears 4 mesh to drive the double-row chains 3 to rotate. The rotating body 2 rotates under the rotational support of the drive discs 53 and the driven component 7.

The driven wheel 73 is fixedly sleeved on the two driven shafts 71, and the two driven wheel 73 are respectively aligned with the positions of the two transmission wheel 53. The two transmission wheel 53 cooperate with the two transmission wheel 53 to limit the rotational installation of the rotating body 2. When the rotating body 2 rotates, the driven wheel 73 rotates in cooperation with the rotational installation of the driven shaft 71, so as to achieve the stable installation of the rotating body 2.

[0026] When using the flipping device for logistics sorting according to this utility model, the item is placed on the rotating body 2. The transmission component 5 electrically drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate. The transmission gear 4 meshes with and drives the double-row chain 3 to drive the rotating body 2 to rotate.
