Wheels are located at both ends of the connecting rod.

[0008] The flipping assembly includes a swing arm disposed on the other side of the machine body. The swing arm is perpendicularly connected to the connecting rod. A lifting rod is provided on one side of the swing arm, and a material-retrieving head is provided on the lifting rod for retrieving materials.

[0009] The flipping mechanism drives the rack to move to both sides via a telescopic cylinder, so that the gear, in conjunction with the connecting rod, drives the swing arm to achieve the flipping action of the entire flipping mechanism to both sides.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lifting rods are evenly distributed in a frame shape on one side of the swing arm, and the material picking heads are located at each corner and on both sides of the middle of the lifting rods.

[0031] as follows:

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1-7 ,

[0033] This technical solution relates to a flipping machine, mainly comprising a flipping assembly (2) consisting of a drive mechanism (20) and a flipping mechanism (21). The drive mechanism (20) is installed on one side of the machine body (1) and is equipped with a lead screw (201) and a telescopic cylinder (200). One end of the telescopic cylinder (200) is connected to the lead screw (201), and the other end is directly connected to a rack (202). The rack (202) meshes with the outside of a gear (203). 203) The middle part is fitted on the connecting rod (205), the connecting rod (205) is perpendicular to the rack (202), and the two ends of the connecting rod (205) are equipped with rotating wheels (206). The flipping mechanism (21) is installed on the other side of the machine body (1), including a swing arm (210). The swing arm (210) is perpendicularly connected to the connecting rod (205). A lifting rod (211) is provided on one side of the swing arm (210), and a material picking head (213) for picking up materials is installed on the lifting rod (211).

[0034] During operation, when the telescopic cylinder (200) pushes the rack (202) to move to one side, the displacement of the rack (202) drives the gear (203) to rotate. The gear (203) drives the connecting rod (205) to rotate, and the connecting rod (205) then pushes the swing arm (210) to swing, thereby causing the boom (211) and the material pick-up head (213) to flip in opposite directions, realizing the flipping action of the entire flipping mechanism (21) on both sides. In practical scenarios, it can be used for flipping plate materials or for fastening processing, which greatly improves the processing efficiency. Mechanized operation avoids the time-consuming and alignment problems of manual flipping. The overall structure is simple and compact, using only basic components such as the lead screw (201), telescopic cylinder (200), rack (202), and gear (203), occupying little space and easy to assemble in a limited space. Furthermore, since the swing arm (210) and connecting rod (205) are detachable and the material pick-up head (213) can be flexibly adjusted, it has strong adaptability and can adapt to the material flipping requirements of different sizes and shapes. The overall structure is easy to assemble and maintain, reducing subsequent maintenance costs and complexity, and solving the problems of low efficiency, complex structure and weak adaptability of traditional flipping methods.

[0035] Reference Appendix Figure 2 , 3 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: Preferably, the lifting rod (211) of this solution can be uniformly distributed in a frame shape on one side of the swing arm (210) to adapt to the shape of rectangular plate materials. By arranging material-taking heads (213) at each corner and on both sides of the middle of the lifting rod, it can be ensured that the gripping force on the material is evenly distributed at the support points of the edge and center when taking the material. For example, when performing large-angle flipping or snapping processing, the material is always kept in a stable and balanced state, preventing the accuracy from being affected by shaking during processing. The frame-shaped lifting rod (211) structure, combined with multiple uniformly arranged material-taking heads (213), can reliably accommodate rectangular plates of different sizes.

[0036] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of material picking heads (213) is at least 8. With the frame-shaped hanging rod (211) structure, uniform gripping points can be formed in the key support area of ​​the material (including the four corners and the two sides of the middle), which improves the overall control of the material and effectively prevents the risk of shaking or slippage caused by uneven force during the flipping process. For example, for plate materials with large area or high surface flatness requirements, the flipping action is stable and reliable, and it can adapt to materials of different sizes.

[0037] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material picking head (213) can be a suction cup picking structure, or it can be a gripper or other picking structure. When the suction cup structure is used, the negative pressure adsorption principle is used to grab the material, which can firmly adhere to the material surface. It is especially suitable for non-contact picking of flat and smooth materials such as plates and glass. The suction cup picking method is easy to operate, and can quickly adsorb and release without complex clamping mechanisms, and there is no risk of scratching the material surface.

[0038] Of course, the material handling structure is replaceable, and the appropriate model can be flexibly selected according to the size, weight and surface characteristics of different materials.

[0039] Reference Appendix Figure 3 , 5 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide rail (204) is provided at the bottom of the rack (202), so that the rack (202) can move precisely in a straight line along the guide rail (204) under the drive of the telescopic cylinder (200), ensuring that the meshing process of the rack (202) and the gear (203) always maintains a stable trajectory and avoids deviation and jamming.

[0040] Reference Appendix Figure 4 A preferred embodiment of this utility model: This solution adopts a detachable assembly structure to connect the swing arm (210) and the connecting rod (205), which is used to flexibly replace or adjust different specifications of parts according to actual processing needs, such as adapting to different flip angles or load requirements of the operation scenario. Moreover, when the swing arm (210) or the connecting rod (205) is worn, a single part can be quickly disassembled and replaced without disassembling the entire flipping mechanism (21).

[0041] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each material taking head (213) in this solution can be independently fine-tuned in angle.

[0042] In practice, for example, when the material surface is slightly uneven or tilted, the pick-up head (213) can adapt to the surface to ensure a stable seal between the suction cup and the material, preventing it from falling off due to local air leakage when flipping. It can flexibly adapt to materials of different shapes, such as curved plates or irregularly shaped workpieces. Operators can quickly optimize the angle configuration of the pick-up head (213) according to the specific material characteristics without having to replace the overall hanging rod (211) structure.

[0043] Reference Appendix Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a position sensor (214) and a hydraulic buffer (215) corresponding to the lower part of the swing arm (210) after it is flipped are provided on the main body (1) of the machine tool. The position sensor (214) can detect the precise position of the swing arm (210) when it is flipped to the target angle in real time. Once the position is detected, a signal is fed back to stop the telescopic cylinder (200) from moving, ensuring the consistency of the flipping angle. The hydraulic buffer (215) absorbs the impact kinetic energy when the swing arm (210) is in position through internal oil damping, which greatly reduces mechanical vibration and inertial sway, and protects the transmission components such as the connecting rod (205) and gear (203) from collision damage. It is especially suitable for precision material processing.
