Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of metal box production equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic flipping and conveying device for metal boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most popular candy or coffee metal boxes on the market use materials such as... Figure 1 and 2 The two-piece box structure shown has a curved hinge piece 101 punched out on the rear side of the bottom box 100, and a hinge hole 201 punched out on the rear side of the upper box 200 (the bottom box 100 and the upper box are collectively referred to as metal boxes). By inserting the curved hinge piece 101 into the hinge hole 201 and engaging the curved hinge piece 101, the two boxes can be hinged together. This structure, in which the bottom box 100 and the upper box 200 are hinged together, is widely used due to its advantages such as convenient opening and closing.

[0003] The assembly of the base box 100 and the upper box 200 involves conveying them. Traditionally, conveyor belts simply place the base box 100 and upper box 200 directly onto the belt. However, due to production requirements, the base box 100 and upper box 200 need to be flipped during conveying to ensure proper assembly. Current technology often relies on manual flipping, which increases labor costs and limits the efficiency of manual operation, necessitating improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic flipping and conveying device for metal boxes, which aims to solve the technical problems of high labor costs and low production efficiency caused by the need for manual flipping during the conveying process of producing metal boxes in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic metal box flipping and conveying device, including a frame, a metal box conveying mechanism, and a metal box flipping mechanism. The metal box conveying mechanism includes a conveying motor, a conveying drive wheel, a conveying driven wheel, a conveying drive shaft, a conveying driven shaft, a conveying power belt, and a metal box conveyor belt. The conveying drive shaft and the conveying driven shaft are rotatably mounted at both ends of the frame. The conveying motor is mounted on the side of the frame. The conveying drive wheel is connected to the main shaft of the conveying motor. The conveying driven wheel is connected to one end of the conveying drive shaft. The conveying power belt is wound around and connected between the conveying drive wheel and the conveying driven wheel. The metal box conveyor belt is wound around and connected between the conveying drive shaft and the conveying driven shaft and is used to convey the metal boxes forward. The metal box flipping mechanism includes a flipping motor, a flipping drive wheel, and a flipping driven wheel. The system comprises a wheel, a reversing power belt, and a metal box reversing shaft. The metal box reversing shaft is positioned above the metal box conveyor belt and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the metal box conveyor belt. It is rotatably connected to the frame. A magnet is provided on the surface of the metal box reversing shaft. A reversing motor is mounted on the side of the frame. The reversing drive wheel is connected to the main shaft of the reversing motor. The reversing driven wheel is connected to one end of the metal box reversing shaft. The reversing power belt is wound around and connected between the reversing drive wheel and the reversing driven wheel. When a metal box conveyed by the metal box conveyor belt approaches the metal box reversing shaft, it is attracted by the magnet. Driven by the reversing motor, the metal box reversing shaft rotates, causing the attracted metal box to flip from one side of the metal box reversing shaft to the other side and be placed on the metal box conveyor belt for continued forward conveying.

[0006] Optionally, the surface of the metal box flipping shaft is provided with a cutting plane, and a mounting hole is provided in the cutting plane, and the magnet is accommodated and connected in the mounting hole.

[0007] Optionally, the metal box conveyor belt is a magnetic conveyor belt.

[0008] Optionally, the frame includes a first support column, a second support column, and a long frame. The first support column and the second support column are arranged at intervals. The long frame is connected to the first support column and the second support column. The conveying drive shaft and the conveying driven shaft are rotatably mounted at both ends of the long frame along its length. The conveying motor and the tilting motor are both mounted on the lower side of the long frame.

[0009] Optionally, the frame further includes strip baffles arranged on both sides of the elongated frame in the width direction, the strip baffles being used to limit the movement of the metal boxes on the metal box conveyor belt.

[0010] Optionally, a metal box conveyor ladder is connected to the far end of the elongated frame along the conveying direction of the metal box conveyor belt. The metal box conveyor ladder is arranged at a downward inclination and is used to receive the metal boxes conveyed by the metal box conveyor belt, so that they slide downward by their own weight.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical solutions of one or more of the automatic metal box flipping and conveying devices provided in this utility model embodiment have at least one of the following technical effects: When the automatic metal box flipping and conveying device of this utility model is working, the conveying motor drives the conveying drive wheel connected to it to rotate, and the conveying drive belt drives the conveying driven wheel to rotate. The conveying driven wheel drives the conveying drive shaft to rotate, so that the metal box conveyor belt wrapped around the conveying drive shaft and the conveying driven shaft rotates in the forward direction. In this way, the metal box carried on the metal box conveyor belt is moved forward. When it moves close to the metal box flipping shaft, because there is a magnet on the side of the metal box flipping shaft, the metal box is attracted by the magnet. Then, driven by the flipping motor, the flipping drive wheel connected to it rotates, and the flipping drive belt drives the flipping driven wheel to rotate. The flipping driven wheel drives the metal box flipping shaft to rotate, thereby causing the attracted metal box to flip from one side of the metal box flipping shaft to the other side and be placed on the metal box conveyor belt to continue to move forward and be conveyed. This realizes automatic flipping and automatic conveying of metal boxes, freeing up manual labor and greatly improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-6As shown, an automatic metal box flipping and conveying device is provided, including a frame 10, a metal box conveying mechanism 20, and a metal box flipping mechanism 30. The metal box conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveying motor 21, a conveying drive wheel 22, a conveying driven wheel 23, a conveying drive shaft 24, a conveying driven shaft 25, a conveying power belt 26, and a metal box conveyor belt 27. The conveying drive shaft 24 and the conveying driven shaft 25 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the frame 10, and the conveying motor 21 is mounted on the side of the frame 10. The conveying drive wheel 22 is connected to the main shaft of the conveying motor 21, the conveying driven wheel 23 is connected to one end of the conveying drive shaft 24, the conveying power belt 26 is wound and connected between the conveying drive wheel 22 and the conveying driven wheel 23, and the metal box conveyor belt 27 is wound and connected between the conveying drive shaft 24 and the conveying driven shaft 25 and is used to convey the metal box 300 forward; the metal box flipping mechanism 30 includes a flipping motor 31, a flipping drive wheel 32, and a flipping driven wheel 33. A rotating power belt 34 and a metal box rotating shaft 35 are provided. The metal box rotating shaft 35 is located above the metal box conveyor belt 27 and is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the metal box conveyor belt 27. It is rotatably connected to the frame 10. A magnet is provided on the surface of the metal box rotating shaft 35. A rotating motor 31 is installed on the side of the frame 10. The rotating drive wheel 32 is connected to the main shaft of the rotating motor 31. The rotating driven wheel 33 is connected to one end of the metal box rotating shaft 35. The rotating power belt 34 is wound around and connected between the rotating drive wheel 32 and the rotating driven wheel 33. When the metal box 300 conveyed by the metal box conveyor belt 27 approaches the metal box rotating shaft 35, it is attracted by the magnet. Driven by the rotating motor 31, the metal box rotating shaft 35 rotates an angle, thereby rotating the attracted metal box 300 from one side of the metal box rotating shaft 35 to the other side and placing it on the metal box conveyor belt 27 for continued forward conveying.

[0035] When the automatic metal box flipping conveyor of this embodiment of the utility model is working, the conveyor motor 21 drives the conveyor drive wheel 22 connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor driven wheel 23 to rotate via the conveyor power belt 26. The conveyor driven wheel 23 drives the conveyor drive shaft 24 to rotate, thus causing the metal box conveyor belt 27, which is wound between the conveyor drive shaft 24 and the conveyor driven shaft 25, to rotate in the forward direction. In this way, the metal box 300 carried on the metal box conveyor belt 27 is moved forward. When it moves close to the metal box flipping shaft 35, because the metal box... A magnet is provided on the side of the flipping shaft 35, so the metal box 300 is attracted by the magnet. Then, driven by the flipping motor 31, the flipping drive wheel 32 connected to it rotates. The flipping drive belt 34 drives the flipping driven wheel 33 to rotate. The flipping driven wheel 33 drives the metal box flipping shaft 35 to rotate, thereby causing the attracted metal box 300 to flip from one side of the metal box flipping shaft 35 to the other side and be placed on the metal box conveyor belt 27 to continue to move forward for conveying. This realizes automatic flipping and automatic conveying of the metal box 300, freeing up manpower and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the surface of the metal box flipping shaft 35 is provided with a cutting plane 351, and a mounting hole 352 is provided in the cutting plane 351. The magnet is accommodated and connected in the mounting hole 352. Specifically, a cutting plane 351 is provided on the side of the metal box flipping shaft 35, and the magnet is fixed in the mounting hole 352 of the cutting plane 351. This structural design allows the gap between the metal box flipping shaft 35 and the metal box 300 to be reduced through the contact between the cutting plane 351 and the side of the metal box 300 when the magnet magnetically attracts the metal box 300, thus improving the stability of attracting the metal box 300. In this way, when the metal box flipping shaft 35 flips, it can more stably drive the metal box 300 to flip, preventing the metal box 300 from detaching from the connection when it is flipped by the metal box flipping shaft 35, which could cause production failures or defects.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the metal box conveyor belt 27 is preferably a magnetic conveyor belt. This allows for more stable forward movement of the metal box 300 during transport by the magnetic conveyor belt, reducing the staggered arrangement of the metal boxes 300 and improving the reliability of flipping the metal boxes 300 mid-transportation.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-4As shown, the frame 10 includes a first support column 11, a second support column 12, and a long frame 13. The first support column 11 and the second support column 12 are arranged at intervals. The long frame 13 is mounted on and connected to the first support column 11 and the second support column 12. The conveying drive shaft 24 and the conveying driven shaft 25 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the long frame 13 along its length. The conveying motor 21 and the tilting motor 31 are both mounted on the lower side of the long frame 13. Specifically, the frame 10 assembled in this way can position the metal box conveying mechanism 20 at a higher position, which is more conducive to the observation and maintenance of the entire device during production. Furthermore, this structure also facilitates the connection of the entire device to the device in the next process step.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the frame 10 also includes strip baffles 14 arranged on both sides of the elongated frame 13 in the width direction. The strip baffles 14 are used to limit the metal boxes 300 on the metal box conveyor belt 27. Specifically, the strip baffles 14 on both sides can effectively prevent the metal boxes 300 on the metal box conveyor belt 27 from falling off from both sides in the width direction, and also help to organize the multiple metal boxes 300 conveyed on the metal box conveyor belt 27, so that each metal box 300 can be arranged and conveyed in a regular order, which is conducive to improving production quality.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, a metal box conveyor ladder is connected to the far end of the elongated frame 13 along the conveying direction of the metal box conveyor belt 27. The metal box conveyor ladder is arranged at a downward inclination and is used to receive the metal boxes 300 conveyed by the metal box conveyor belt 27, allowing them to slide downwards by their own weight. Specifically, when the metal box 300 is transferred to the next process after being flipped and conveyed, it can continue to be conveyed by its own weight along the metal box conveyor ladder connected to the end of the elongated frame 13, facilitating its entry into the device of the next process or into the storage station for storage.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
