[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of this utility model in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, a flipping device for a herringbone hanger includes a frame 1, a feeding slide 2, an ejection mechanism, a side-pushing mechanism, and an ejection slide 24. Both the feeding slide 2 and the ejection slide 24 are mounted on the frame 1. The feeding slide 2 allows the herringbone hanger 26 to slide inverted, while the ejection slide 24 allows the herringbone hanger 26 to slide upright. A platform 5 is provided on the frame 1 between the feeding slide 2 and the ejection slide 24, allowing the herringbone hanger 26 to be placed horizontally. The platform 5 is located on the side of the top of the ejection slide 24. The side-pushing mechanism is mounted on the platform 5, with its output end facing the ejection slide 24. This mechanism allows the herringbone hanger 26 to slide upright. The herringbone hanger 26 on platform 5 is pushed onto the discharge slide 24. Platform 5 is equipped with a limiting plate 6. The rear of the feeding slide 2 is tilted downwards, allowing the herringbone hanger 26 to slide down under gravity. Two limiting blocks 7 are located on both sides of the end of the feeding slide 2. The limiting plate 6 is located in front of the two limiting blocks 7. There are two ejection mechanisms, each installed on the discharge slide 24 in front of the two limiting blocks 7. The upper end of the feeding slide 2 is a centrally recessed feeding sliding area. The two limiting blocks 7 and the limiting plate 6 are located at the end of the feeding sliding area. The two limiting blocks 7 can abut against the sides of both ends of the herringbone hanger 26. The 6 can abut against the middle side of the herringbone hanger 26, thereby blocking the herringbone hanger 26 and preventing it from sliding directly onto the platform 5, thus forming an isolation effect; the ejection mechanism is located below the end of the feeding sliding area, and the output end of the ejection mechanism can extend upward into the feeding sliding area, lifting the herringbone hanger 26, which is abutting against the side of the limiting plate 6 and the limiting block 7, obliquely upward. After the herringbone hanger 26 obliquely passes over the limiting plate 6 and the limiting block 7, it moves forward and exits the feeding sliding area under the pushing force of subsequent herringbone hangers 26, and under the influence of the downward tilting structure at the rear of the feeding slide 2, The herringbone hanger 26 falls forward and rests on the platform 5, completing the flipping of the herringbone hanger 26. The upper end of the discharge slide 24 is a discharge sliding area with a central protrusion. After the flipping is completed, the herringbone hanger 26 is pushed into the discharge sliding area by the side push mechanism. With the support of the protruding structure at the upper end of the discharge slide 24, combined with the weight of the herringbone hanger 26 itself, the herringbone hanger 26 automatically straightens itself on the discharge slide 24 with the middle part standing up and the two ends hanging down. It moves forward under the continuous pushing of the subsequent herringbone hangers 26, and is finally picked up by the robot arm 27 to the next polishing process.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the platform 5 is provided with a gantry frame 8, and the gantry frame 8 is provided with a limiting guide rail 11. The limiting guide rail 11 is located above the feeding slide 2. The limiting guide rail 11 gradually approaches the feeding slide area from front to back, providing an entrance with a gradually narrowing height as the herringbone hanger 26 slides down the feeding slide 2, collecting and organizing the herringbone hanger 26. The area above the end of the feeding slide area is the ejection area. The end of the limiting guide rail 11 is located in front of the ejection area, allowing space for the herringbone hanger 26 to be ejected upwards. The front end of the gantry frame 8 is provided with a movable component, and the limiting guide rail 11 is installed on the movable component. The movable component includes a horizontal movable plate 9 and a vertical movable plate 10. The horizontal movable plate 9 can slide horizontally on the front end of the gantry frame 8 and be locked with screws. The vertical movable plate 10 can be adjusted in position and height and then locked to the front end of the horizontal movable plate 9 with screws. The limiting guide rail 11 is installed on the front end of the vertical movable plate 10. By adjusting the movable component, the limiting guide rail 11 can be moved closer to or further away from the herringbone hanger 26, forming a limiting effect on the herringbone hanger 26, and can also adapt to herringbone hangers 26 of different sizes and specifications. The gantry frame 8 is provided with a limiting post 13 in the middle. The limiting post 13 extends above the output end of the side push mechanism. There are three limiting posts 13, which form a V-shaped straightening area in front of them. The opening of the straightening area faces the discharge slide 24. When the herringbone hanger 26 is pushed out from the feeding slide area and flips forward, it will hit the limiting post 13. The herringbone hanger 26 leans against and slides down the limiting post 13 onto the platform 5. During the descent, it is corrected by the limiting post 13 and straightened, providing accurate positioning for the subsequent push of the side push mechanism. At the same time, the height difference between the limiting post 13 and the platform 5 allows only one herringbone hanger 26 to pass through, ensuring that the herringbone hanger 26 enters the discharge slide area in an orderly manner. The platform 5 is equipped with a guide plate 25. The upper surface of the guide plate 25 is arc-shaped and extends from the limiting block 7 to the platform 5. After the herringbone hanger 26 is pushed out from the discharge sliding area, it can slide down the guide plate 25, preventing the herringbone hanger 26 from falling directly onto the platform 5 and causing cracking or deviation from its position after impact. The limiting plate 6 is inclined on one side of the straightening area. The lower end of the herringbone hanger 26 can abut against and slide down this inclined surface, which also provides a fulcrum for the flipping of the herringbone hanger 26, ensuring that the herringbone hanger 26 can be flipped smoothly. Two support plates 12 are provided on the platform 5 on both sides of the limiting plate 6. The two support plates 12 are located below the feeding sliding area. The area formed by the two support plates 12 opens upward and backward, providing support for the side wings of the herringbone hanger 26, which helps to further straighten the herringbone hanger 26.

[0027] The ejection mechanism includes an ejection cylinder 3 and an ejection head 4. The ejection cylinder 3 is installed at the lower end of the discharge slide 24 in front of the limiting block 7 via an adjustable bracket. The ejection head 4 is installed at the output end of the ejection cylinder 3. The ejection head 4 can extend upward into the feeding sliding area and eject the herringbone hanger 26 located at the end of the feeding sliding area and abutting against the limiting plate 6 and the limiting block 7 obliquely upward. The side-pushing mechanism includes a side-pushing cylinder 14, a connecting plate 15, and a push plate 16. The side-pushing cylinder 14 is installed at the lower end of the platform 5, and the output end of the side-pushing cylinder 14 is connected to the connecting plate 15. There are two push plates 16, which are respectively installed on both sides of the upper end of the connecting plate 15. The push plates 16 abut against the platform 5 from the top and bottom. The front ends of the two push plates 16 together form a V-shaped notch. The V-shaped notch is adapted to the shape of the side wings of the herringbone hanger 26, ensuring that the herringbone hanger 26 will not rotate or deviate when pushed by the push plate 16, thereby ensuring that the herringbone hanger 26 falls accurately into the discharge sliding area. The platform 5 is provided with a guide hole at its lower end, and the adapter plate 15 is provided with a guide post 17 at one end. The guide post 17 is slidably connected in the guide hole. One end of the guide post 17 can extend into the discharge sliding area. When the side push cylinder 14 pushes the herringbone hanger 26 from the platform 5 to the discharge sliding area, the first herringbone hanger 26 in the discharge sliding area is pushed forward by the guide post 17, making room for the herringbone hanger 26 on the platform 5 and avoiding interference between the two herringbone hangers 26.

[0028] In addition, this device also includes a material-feeding mechanism, which is mounted on the frame 1. The upper end of the material-feeding mechanism is provided with a material-feeding rod 21. The material-feeding rod 21 can extend upward into the discharge sliding area and move back and forth to move and push the herringbone hanger 26, and store the herringbone hanger 26 at the end of the discharge sliding area. The material-feeding mechanism includes a transverse cylinder 18, a slide plate 2219, a material-feeding cylinder 20 and the material-feeding rod 21. The transverse cylinder 18 is mounted on the frame 1, and the output end of the transverse cylinder 18 is connected to the slide plate 2219. The material-feeding cylinder 20 is mounted on the slide plate 2219, and the output end of the material-feeding cylinder 20 is connected to the material-feeding rod 21. The material-feeding rod 21 can extend upward into the discharge sliding area and move back and forth. The material-feeding rod 21 extends into the discharge sliding area from both sides of the discharge slide 24, and at the same time pushes the herringbone hanger 26 to slide laterally. The frame 1 is provided with a slide rail 23, and the lower end of the slide plate 2219 is provided with a slider. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail 23, providing guidance and auxiliary support for the sliding of the slide plate 2219, and providing stable support for the material-pulling rod 21 to move the herringbone hanger 26.

[0029] Description of the working principle of this utility model:

[0030] After production, the herringbone hanger 26 needs to undergo multiple rounds of polishing to remove burrs. Between these rounds of polishing, the herringbone hanger 26 needs to be adjusted from an inverted V-shaped posture to a herringbone posture according to the polishing equipment. During this process, the herringbone hanger 26 needs to be flipped and straightened by a flipping device before it can be picked up and transferred by the robotic arm 27 to the next polishing process for repeated polishing.

[0031] After the previous grinding process, the herringbone hanger 26 enters the feeding slide area on the feeding slide 2 of this device in an inverted V-shape, and moves forward by continuous pushing; the inverted V-shaped herringbone hanger 26 slides down the feeding slide 2 along its downward sloping rear structure, and is arranged under the restraint of the limiting guide rail 11, leaning against one end of the limiting plate 6 and the limiting block 7 in a forward-leaning posture. The subsequent herringbone hangers 26 also lean against the rear of the previous herringbone hanger 26 in the same inclined posture, forming a tight, neat and orderly arrangement; under the action of the ejection cylinder 3, The top feed head 4 pushes the herringbone hanger 26, located at the end of the feeding sliding area, diagonally upwards. The herringbone hanger 26 passes over the limiting plate 6 and the limiting block 7, and under the pushing action of other herringbone hangers 26 on the rear side, the pushed-up herringbone hanger 26 tilts forward. With the joint support of the limiting plate 6 and the guide plate 25, the bottom of the herringbone hanger 26 slides forward, while the top of the herringbone hanger 26 encounters the limiting post 13 during its forward tilting process. Under the action of the limiting post 13, it completes the correction and straightening, and finally falls smoothly onto the platform 5. At this time, the opening of the herringbone hanger 26 is... Facing the discharge slide 24; under the action of the side push cylinder 14, the push plate 16 pushes forward and abuts against the side wing of the herringbone hanger 26, pushing the herringbone hanger 26 from the platform 5 onto the discharge slide 24. At this time, the side wing of the herringbone hanger 26 falls forward first off the platform 5. Under the action of gravity, the top of the herringbone hanger 26 flips upward. With the support of the protruding structure at the top of the discharge slide 24, the herringbone hanger 26 is upright and straightened on the discharge slide 24. With the support on both sides of the discharge slide 24, the herringbone hanger 26 sits stably on the discharge slide 24. At this time, the herringbone hanger 26 is also located in the discharge sliding area; as the subsequent herringbone hangers 26 continue to be pushed down from the platform 5, the guide column 17 extends forward at the same time, pushing the herringbone hangers 26 located in the discharge sliding area forward to make room for the subsequent herringbone hangers 26. The herringbone hangers 26 pushed by the guide column 17 move forward to meet the previous herringbone hanger 26, forming a compact arrangement side by side. The material feeding cylinder 20 drives the material feeding rod 21 to further organize and store the side-by-side herringbone hangers 26, and finally the robotic arm 27 grabs them to the next polishing process.

[0032] In the entire flipping process of the herringbone hanger 26, the flipping operation can be carried out by using conventional technical means such as external PLC relays or position sensors in conjunction with this device, which can make the device operate more continuously, with a more compact rhythm and higher efficiency.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
