With rising demands for production efficiency and flexibility, equipment capable of efficient flipping and multi-station adaptability has become a focus of industry attention. Such devices typically require strong adaptability to handle various workpieces and rapid changeover requirements. Therefore, designing an automated guideway structure capable of quickly adjusting station spacing and workpiece flipping direction will effectively improve the overall efficiency of the production line and meet the growing market demand.

[0003] Currently, the design of multi-station automated equipment largely relies on traditional mechanical structures, such as gear drives and chain drives. These mechanical structures achieve workpiece flipping and positioning through complex transmission systems, typically requiring considerable time for adjustment and adaptation. Their technical principles primarily depend on lever principles and friction, transmitting force through different mechanical components. However, this design often lacks flexibility and convenience; adjusting the distance between workstations requires certain tools and operational skills, limiting the improvement of production efficiency.

[0004] However, existing technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of flexibility in workstation adaptation and workpiece flipping. This lack of flexibility makes it impossible to quickly respond to the needs of different workpieces during production, resulting in low production efficiency. To address these issues, a multi-workstation adaptable automatic flipping slide rail structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The adjustment assembly includes a limiting post, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding frame.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The sliding frame has a limiting groove inside, and the base has a slot inside.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic flipping slide rail structure with multi-station adaptability, including a base 1, the structure of which is made of cast steel, providing high strength and stability to support the weight and operation of the entire device. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The support frame 2 is made of high-rigidity aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and durable and easy to transport as a whole. A connecting frame 3 is provided on the top of the support frame 2, and another connecting frame 3 is provided on the top of the base 1. Multiple flipping components are provided on the outer wall of the connecting frame 3.

[0033] The flipping assembly includes a flipping plate 8, one side of which is set on the outer wall of the connecting frame 3. A connecting plate 10 is set on the outer wall of the connecting frame 3. A driver 4, which is a pneumatic driver 4, is set on the outer wall of the connecting plate 10. It has high efficiency and high torque output and is used to provide the power required for the flipping action. A turntable 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driver 4. A connecting block 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the turntable 7. Multiple stops 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 10. The stops 5 are designed to be made of wear-resistant plastic and provide effective physical obstruction to ensure the accuracy of the flipping action. The outer wall of the turntable 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flipping plate 8. A sliding frame 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of another connecting plate 10. The sliding frame 9 is made of engineering plastic and has good wear resistance to ensure smooth sliding inside the slide groove 11. The base 1 has a slide groove 11 inside. The outer wall of the sliding frame 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 11. An adjustment component is set inside the sliding frame 9.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-5 The adjustment component includes a limiting post 14. The outer wall of the limiting post 14 is made of wear-resistant engineering plastic, which has good sliding properties and durability. Its function is to adjust the positioning of the sliding frame 9 and ensure its stable operation during operation. The outer wall of the limiting post 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding frame 9. The sliding frame 9 has a limiting groove 16 inside, and the base 1 has a slot 12 inside. The outer wall of the limiting post 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot 12, so that the limiting post 14 can be flexibly adjusted within the required range to adapt to different workpieces. To meet the requirements, a pull rod 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiting post 14, and two limiting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting post 14. The limiting plates 15 are made of special plastic material, which has high wear resistance and sliding properties. The outer wall is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 16 to achieve precise positioning and define the working range. The outer wall of the limiting plate 15 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 16. A spring 17 is set inside the sliding frame 9. The top of the spring 17 is fixedly connected inside the sliding frame 9, and the bottom of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 15.

[0035] Working Principle: During the flipping process, the driver 4 is first activated. This driver 4 generates power pneumatically, causing the turntable 7 to rotate on the outer wall of the connecting plate 10. As the turntable 7 rotates, the connecting block 6 also rotates. Due to the obstruction of the stop block 5, the connecting block 6 can only rotate 90 degrees, ensuring precise control of the flipping process. However, since the flipping plates 8 on both sides move in opposite directions, the entire system can achieve workpiece flipping of up to 180 degrees, improving production flexibility and efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the device demonstrates its flexibility when handling workpieces of different specifications. The operator can easily pull the lever 13, which raises and lowers the limiting post 14, causing it to slide out of the slot 12. The movement of the limiting post 14 causes the limiting plates 15 on both sides to slide within the limiting groove 16, thereby compressing the spring 17 embedded in the structure. This process allows the sliding frame 9 to move smoothly to a suitable position, creating conditions for adjusting the workstation spacing. After the sliding frame 9 reaches the appropriate position, the potential energy of the compressed spring 17 is released, pushing the limiting post 14 back into the slot 12, fixing it in the new position and ensuring stability. This design not only greatly improves the efficiency of adjusting the workstation spacing but also adapts to the needs of various workpieces. Through this series of actions, the equipment demonstrates excellent flexibility and stability while achieving workpiece flipping, meeting the requirements of modern production lines for automation and efficiency.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
