Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rotating mechanism, including:

[0032] A linear motion mechanism 11, wherein the linear motion mechanism 11 has an output end that can move in a straight line;

[0033] Support component 12, which is mounted on the output end of the linear motion mechanism 11;

[0034] The carrier 13 is used to place the product and is rotatably mounted on the support member 12. A transmission part 14 is mounted on the carrier 13.

[0035] The guide assembly 15 has a guide surface 16, which causes the carrier 13 to rotate by pressing the transmission part 14.

[0036] The technical advantage of this solution is that by setting the guide surface 16 to compress the moving transmission part 14, and since the carrier 13 is rotatably mounted on the support component 12, the carrier 13 rotates under the action of the transmission part 14. This solution can achieve linear transport and rotation adjustment of the product with only one drive structure, which greatly simplifies the structure and reduces equipment costs.

[0037] Furthermore, the support component 12 is provided with a mounting shaft 26, and the carrier 13 is provided with a rotating mounting hole. The rotating mounting hole on the carrier 13 is fitted onto the mounting shaft 26 to enable the carrier 13 to rotate. The transmission part 14 revolves around the mounting shaft 26.

[0038] Furthermore, the transmission part 14 has a cylindrical structure. The transmission part 14 can be made of rollers, specifically cam rollers. Alternatively, the transmission part 14 can also be made of rollers.

[0039] Furthermore, the transmission part 14 can be rotatably mounted, or it can be fixedly mounted.

[0040] In one embodiment of this invention, the support component 12 is a support plate 17, one end of which is fixed to the output end of the linear motion mechanism 11, and the other end of which is fitted with the carrier 13.

[0041] In one embodiment of this invention, a limiting seat 18 is fixed on the support plate 17, and a reset element is installed between the limiting seat 18 and the carrier 13. The reset element is a reset spring 24.

[0042] As one embodiment of this invention, the guide component 15 includes:

[0043] The fixing plate 19 has a horizontal upper surface. The fixing plate 19 can be set on the floor by a fixing bracket, or it can be fixed to other fixing seats by a fixing bracket. The fixing plate 19 can also be fixed to the base 25 at the bottom of the linear motion mechanism 11 by a connector. Although the specific fixing structure of the fixing plate 19 is not shown in the figure, those skilled in the art should be able to clearly foresee the fixing form of the fixing plate 19.

[0044] The guide plate includes a horizontal plate 20 and a vertical plate 21. The horizontal plate 20 is mounted on the upper surface of the fixed plate 19 via the vertical plate 21. The guide plate is provided with the guide surface 16.

[0045] Furthermore, the bottom of the vertical plate 21 has a horizontal extension plate to increase the contact area between the bottom of the vertical plate 21 and the fixed plate 19, and the horizontal extension plate is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 19. The horizontal plate 20, the vertical plate 21 and the horizontal extension plate are arranged in a Z-shape and are integrally formed.

[0046] In one embodiment of this invention, the guide surface 16 includes an inclined surface 22 and a pressing surface 23. The inclined surface 22 is used to push the transmission part 14 and cause the transmission part 14 to rotate about the rotation axis of the carrier 13. The pressing surface 23 is used to position the carrier 13. The pressing surface 23 is a vertical plane and is used to make surface contact with the side of the rotated carrier 13. At this time, the carrier 13 stops rotating.

[0047] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the carrier 13 is 90°.

[0048] In one embodiment of this invention, the horizontal plate 20 is located above the reset member and the limiting seat 18. A clearance space 27 is formed between the horizontal plate 20 and the fixed plate 19, within which the reset member and the limiting seat 18 can move.

[0049] In one embodiment of this invention, the linear motion mechanism 11 is a linear motor. Alternatively, the linear motion mechanism 11 can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or rodless cylinder, as is available in the prior art.

[0050] The linear motor is existing technology. The linear motor has a linear motion module and a drive motor. The drive motor is used to drive the linear motion module to work. The drive motor is a servo motor. For details about the linear motor, please refer to the existing technology. This application will not go into detail.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] When the product is placed in the mounting slot of the carrier 13, the linear motion mechanism 11 works and drives the support component 12 to move linearly. The transmission part 14 on the carrier 13 contacts the inclined surface 22. Under the action of the transmission part 14, the carrier 13 rotates continuously. When the carrier 13 rotates 90°, the transmission part 14 just contacts the pressing surface 23. Since the pressing surface 23 is a vertical plane, the transmission part 14 no longer revolves at this time.

[0053] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
