Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery, specifically to a spherical film flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial manufacturing, coating products with protective or commercial films is a crucial step in ensuring their surface integrity and commercial value. For regularly shaped and symmetrical products, such as cylindrical water bottles, beverage cans, or rectangular lunch boxes, existing automated packaging equipment can efficiently and uniformly cover the film, offering simple operation and high consistency. However, when handling spherical products, the film coating process faces significant challenges due to their geometric characteristics. During the film coating process, spheres must rely on mounting brackets for positioning to prevent rolling or shifting, but these brackets can obstruct the bottom area of ​​the sphere, preventing the protective film from fully covering that area. While current protective film coating machines can handle spherical products, the bottom area still requires manual intervention, such as operators manually adjusting the film's position or adding additional coverage. This manual operation is not only inefficient and prolongs the production cycle but also prone to wrinkles, bubbles, or damage to the film due to inconsistent operation, affecting the product's appearance quality and protective function. Furthermore, manual assistance increases labor costs and production complexity, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern automated production lines for efficient and stable operation. Utility Model Content

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model by those skilled in the art, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment proposes a spherical film flipping mechanism, including: a base 1 and a flipping component 2 slidably disposed on the base 1. The flipping component 2 includes a flipping bracket 21, a flipping drive 22 is disposed in the flipping bracket 21, and a clamping drive 23 is also disposed on the flipping bracket 21. The output shaft of the clamping drive 23 extends out from both sides of the clamping drive 23. Each output shaft of the clamping drive 23 is provided with a clamping block 24. The ends of the clamping blocks 24 are respectively provided with an active gripping plate 25 and a driven gripping plate 26. The output shaft of the flipping drive 22 is drivenly connected to the active gripping plate 25.

[0019] Furthermore, the clamping drive 23 can be understood as a power device used to control the opening and closing of the clamping block 24, which can be achieved by an electric actuator, a hydraulic cylinder, or a mechanical linkage mechanism. For example, the electric actuator can achieve linear motion through screw transmission; the hydraulic cylinder can drive the piston to move through liquid pressure; and the mechanical linkage mechanism uses the lever principle to achieve synchronous opening and closing of the clamping block 24, mainly to achieve stable clamping of the ball.

[0020] In practical applications, the active gripper 25 and the driven gripper 26 are respectively located at the ends of the gripping block 24, and can grip the ball through friction wheels, claws, or suction cup structures. For example, the friction wheel drives the ball to rotate through surface friction; the claws fix the ball by mechanical locking; and the suction cup uses negative pressure to adsorb the surface of the ball, mainly to achieve stable driving and follow-up of the ball during the flipping process.

[0021] The innovation of this application lies in the integration of sliding, gripping, and flipping functions, which enables automatic positioning and flipping of the sphere, thereby effectively exposing the bottom for film application. Compared to the problem in the prior art where the bottom of the sphere is difficult to apply film due to the limitation of the mounting seat, this embodiment directly drives the active gripping plate 25 through the flipping drive 22, combined with the follow-up design of the driven gripping plate 26, to ensure that the sphere can reliably flip 180 degrees, fully exposing the bottom area, thus overcoming the technical difficulty of the bottom being obscured in traditional film application.

[0022] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: A spherical film-coating flipping mechanism provides stable support through a base 1, ensuring the stability of the overall operation process. The flipping component 2 is slidably disposed on the base 1 and can move along the base 1, thereby accurately positioning the sphere to the film-coating station. The flipping bracket 21, as the core load-bearing structure, integrates the flipping drive 22 and the clamping drive 23 to form a multi-functional operating platform. Among them, the flipping drive 22 provides a power source for the flipping action, and its output shaft is driven and connected to the active gripper 25, directly transmitting torque to the sphere to achieve reliable flipping of the sphere. The output shaft of the clamping drive 23 extends from both sides and is respectively provided with a clamping block 24. The end of the clamping block 24 is further provided with an active gripper 25 and a driven gripper 26.

[0023] This symmetrical layout allows the gripping block 24 to apply force evenly to both sides of the sphere, ensuring the sphere remains balanced during flipping and preventing displacement or detachment due to uneven force. The active gripping disc 25 is driven to rotate by the flipping drive 22, while the driven gripping disc 26 follows suit to reduce friction and protect the sphere surface. Through this coordination, the sphere can achieve a precise 180-degree flip during the flipping process, fully exposing the bottom area, thus effectively solving the difficulty of bottom coating caused by the mounting base limitation. Furthermore, the precise control capability of the gripping drive 23 ensures that the gripping block 24 can flexibly adjust its opening and closing degree according to the sphere size to adapt to the coating requirements of spheres of different specifications. Thus, this technical solution realizes the integrated operation of automatic sphere positioning, gripping, and flipping, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of bottom coating of the sphere.

[0024] This application further proposes that the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is triangular, semi-circular, elliptical or polygonal, and the center of the gripping block 24 and the active gripping disk 25 is provided with a connecting hole 27, which corresponds to the shape of the output shaft of the flip drive 22.

[0025] Specifically, the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is a key component used to transmit torque and drive the active gripper 25 to rotate. It can be implemented using non-circular geometric shapes such as triangles, semicircles, ellipses, or polygons. The purpose of these shapes is to create a mechanical interlock through asymmetry, preventing relative slippage during the drive process. The connecting hole 27 is a through-hole structure located at the center of the gripping block 24 and the active gripper 25. Its shape precisely matches the geometry of the output shaft of the flip drive 22 to ensure a tight fit between them. This design aims to eliminate the slippage problem caused by the lack of a fixed point in traditional circular output shafts, while ensuring that the center of force is aligned with the rotation axis, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the flipping process.

[0026] Specifically, the above solution achieves mechanical interlocking by defining the geometry of the output shaft of the flip drive 22 and combining it with the design of its corresponding connecting hole 27. For example, when the output shaft of the flip drive 22 adopts a triangular design, its angular features can engage with the inner wall of the connecting hole 27, effectively transmitting torque without relative slippage during rotation. Furthermore, the connecting hole 27 is positioned in the central area of ​​the gripping block 24 and the active gripping disc 25. This design ensures uniform force distribution, reduces eccentric loads and vibrations, and keeps the ball balanced during flipping. This non-circular geometric characteristic not only solves the problem of slippage at the drive connection but also improves the precise control capability of the entire mechanism when dealing with the difficulty of coating the bottom of the ball, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent coating processes.

[0027] Based on the above, the non-circular design of the output shaft of the flip drive 22 and the precise matching of the connecting hole 27 together constitute a highly efficient and stable drive system. This system has significant advantages in solving the problem of relative slippage at the drive connection point during ball flipping, and also lays a solid foundation for the overall mechanism's functional realization.

[0028] This application further proposes that the clamping drive 23 has a first state 100 and a second state 200. In the first state 100, the end of the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is exposed in the connection hole 27, and in the second state 200, the end of the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is located in the connection hole 27.

[0029] Specifically, the first state 100 refers to the state of the clamping drive 23 when it is not performing a clamping operation. In this state, the end of the output shaft of the flipping drive 22 exposes the connecting hole 27, ensuring that the flipping action can smoothly transmit power. The second state 200 refers to the state of the clamping drive 23 when performing a clamping operation. Figure 5 and Figure 6As can be seen, in the first state 100, the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is exposed in the connection hole 27. In the second state 200, the active gripper 25 moves toward the product. At this time, because the output shaft of the flip drive 22 is relatively long, the flip drive 22 always maintains the driving state with the active gripper 25 and continuously transmits rotational force to the active gripper 25.

[0030] This application further proposes that both the active gripper 25 and the driven gripper 26 are connected to the clamping block 24 via bearings.

[0031] Specifically, a bearing is a mechanical component used to reduce friction and support rotational motion; it can be implemented using rolling bearings or sliding bearings. The purpose of introducing a bearing is to give the gripper disc rotational freedom relative to the clamping block 24, thereby adapting to changes in the curvature of the ball's surface. The active gripper disc 25 is connected to the clamping block 24 via a bearing, allowing the gripper disc to rotate freely independently of the clamping block 24 when torque is applied by the output shaft of the flip drive 22. The driven gripper disc 26 is connected to the clamping block 24 via a bearing, enabling the driven gripper disc 26 to follow the ball's rotation, reducing relative slippage.

[0032] In detail, this solution effectively solves the problem of protective film damage during sphere flipping by using a bearing connection. During sphere flipping, the active gripper 25 can adaptively rotate according to the torque applied by the output shaft of the flipping drive 22, avoiding the pulling of the protective film by the forced friction force generated by the rigid connection. Simultaneously, the driven gripper 26 achieves a follow-up function through the bearing connection, ensuring uniform adhesion of the protective film to the sphere surface. Especially in areas where traditional film application is difficult, such as the bottom of the sphere, this design eliminates stress concentration in the film layer caused by fixed connections, ensuring the stability and integrity of the film application process. Furthermore, this solution, when used in conjunction with components such as the flipping bracket 21 and the clamping drive 23, can better adapt to the shape of the sphere and improve the quality of film application.

[0033] Furthermore, a rubber layer can be provided on the surface of the active gripper 25 and the driven gripper 26 to prevent damage to the surface of the ball and the protective film by the active gripper 25 and the driven gripper 26.

[0034] This application further proposes that a detection device, which is an object sensor, is also provided on one side of the flipping bracket 21.

[0035] In this embodiment, the detection device is used to detect spherical products on the production line. When the product is transported to the relative position, the detection device sends a signal to start the film flipping operation.

[0036] This application further proposes that the clamping drive 23 is a bidirectional cylinder, with two cylinder rods staggered on both sides of the clamping drive 23, and the ends of the two cylinder rods are respectively connected to the corresponding clamping blocks 24.

[0037] Specifically, a two-way cylinder refers to a pneumatic actuator capable of simultaneously outputting symmetrical thrust to both sides, which can be achieved using a dual-piston structure or a dual-chamber design. The staggered arrangement of the cylinder rods refers to the spatially staggered arrangement of the two cylinder rods, the purpose of which is to avoid interference between the cylinder rods during movement, thereby ensuring smooth operation.

[0038] Specifically, this solution achieves high consistency in the movements of the two gripping blocks 24 through the design of a bidirectional cylinder, effectively solving the problem of uneven gripping force distribution. Since the bidirectional cylinder can simultaneously output symmetrical thrust to both sides, the synchronicity of the gripping blocks 24's movements can be ensured without relying on an external synchronization mechanism, which is particularly important for the stable gripping of easily rolling objects like spheres. Furthermore, the staggered layout of the cylinder rods further optimizes the space utilization of the mechanism, allowing the cylinder rods to slide smoothly without collision during the flipping operation, thus ensuring the stability of the entire gripping process. In addition, the direct connection between the cylinder rods and the gripping blocks 24 not only simplifies the structure but also improves the efficiency of force transmission, ensuring that the gripping force is evenly distributed on the sphere surface, thereby avoiding displacement, slippage, or damage during the coating process. The above technical solution, combined with the overall design of the base 1, the flipping assembly 2, and the gripping drive 23, significantly improves the working efficiency and coating quality of the sphere coating flipping mechanism.

[0039] This application further proposes that a longitudinal sliding component 4 is provided on the base 1, and the flip bracket 21 is driven to connect with the longitudinal sliding component 4, so that the flip bracket 21 can be moved by the longitudinal sliding component 4.

[0040] Specifically, the longitudinal sliding component 4 refers to a mechanism capable of linear motion in a single direction. It can be implemented using methods such as lead screw transmission, rack and pinion transmission, or linear motor, with the aim of providing precise and controllable movement for the tilting bracket 21. The drive connection refers to the method of transmitting power from the drive source to the actuator through a mechanical structure. This can be achieved through couplings, gear sets, or synchronous belts, with the aim of ensuring the directness and reliability of power transmission.

[0041] Meanwhile, the longitudinal sliding component 4 can move the position of the flipping component 2, thereby enabling the flipping of spheres of various sizes. Since the center point of spheres of different sizes is also different, the longitudinal sliding component 4 can solve this problem well.

[0042] This application further proposes that a lifting assembly 5 is provided between the longitudinal sliding assembly 4 and the flipping bracket 21. The lifting assembly 5 includes a lifting base plate 51 and a lifting drive 52. The lifting drive 52 is disposed between the lifting base plate 51 and the flipping bracket 21. The housing of the lifting drive 52 is fixedly disposed on the lifting base plate 51. The output shaft of the lifting drive 52 is fixed to the bottom of the flipping bracket 21. The lifting drive 52 drives the flipping bracket 21 to rise and fall.

[0043] Similar to the longitudinal sliding component 4 described above, this embodiment addresses the issue that the gripping position differs depending on the center of the ball when performing flipping operations on balls of different sizes. The lifting component 5 effectively solves this problem.

[0044] This application further proposes that a lifting bearing 53 is provided between the flipping bracket 21 and the lifting base plate 51, and the lifting bearing 53 is located at the four corners of the lifting base plate 51.

[0045] Specifically, the lifting bearing 53 refers to a mechanical structure that can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, which can be implemented using ball bearings, roller bearings, sliding bearings, or linear bearings. In practical applications, the four corners of the lifting base plate 51 refer to four evenly distributed support points on the lifting base plate 51. The purpose is to form a stable load distribution mechanism through multi-point support, ensuring that the tilting bracket 21 maintains a horizontal posture during the lifting process.

[0046] In detail, this solution effectively improves the friction and stability issues during lifting motion by introducing a lifting bearing 53 structure between the tilting bracket 21 and the lifting base plate 51. The lifting bearing 53 significantly reduces motion resistance using its rolling characteristics, allowing the lifting drive 52 to operate more smoothly and avoiding start-up jamming and motion vibration caused by rigid connections. Simultaneously, by placing the lifting bearing 53 at the four corners of the lifting base plate 51, a four-point evenly distributed support structure is formed. This layout not only evenly distributes the load but also prevents tilting or vibration caused by uneven loading or single-point force. Based on this, combined with the cooperative use of the longitudinal sliding component 4 and the lifting component 5, the motion accuracy and long-term operational reliability of the entire mechanism are further improved, thus solving the problem of unstable lifting motion.

[0047] Meanwhile, the lifting bearing 53 can also serve as a guide when the tilting bracket 21 is raised or lowered.

[0048] This application further proposes that it also includes a control system, which is a computer, and the control system is electrically connected to the sliding component, the lifting component 5 and the flipping component 2 respectively.

[0049] Specifically, the control system refers to a device capable of centralized management and coordination of equipment operation, which can be implemented using an industrial control computer or an embedded system. The computer, as the core processing unit, provides data processing and logical judgment capabilities, aiming to achieve precise control of the film-coating process through preset programs. The electrical connection between the sliding assembly, lifting assembly 5, and tilting assembly 2 can be achieved through industrial bus or hardwiring to establish a real-time bidirectional communication link, ensuring immediate feedback of the status information of each component.

[0050] Specifically, this solution achieves unified and coordinated operation of multiple components through integrated design. The computer analyzes key nodes in the film-coating process according to a preset program, generating precise displacement commands during the sphere positioning stage to avoid overshoot or delay caused by mechanical inertia, thus ensuring the synchronization of the flipping action with movement and lifting. During the sphere flipping process, the computer can synchronously control the height fine-tuning of the lifting component 5 and the displacement compensation of the sliding component, effectively eliminating dead angles in the film-coating process caused by gravity or friction at the bottom of the sphere. This centralized control method not only enhances the reliability of the linkage between components but also simplifies the operational complexity, making the sphere film-coating process smoother and more stable. Combining the structural characteristics of the aforementioned flipping bracket 21, longitudinal sliding component 4, and lifting component 5, this control system can better leverage the functional advantages of each component, achieving fully automated film-coating without manual intervention.

[0051] On the other hand, the side wall of the longitudinal sliding component 4 is connected to the side wall of the base 1 by a slider 6 and a slide rail 7, so that the longitudinal sliding component 4 can be raised and lowered on the base 1. At the same time, a foot 8 is provided below the base 1 and below the longitudinal sliding component 4. A part of the foot 8 passes through the base 1 and the longitudinal sliding component 4. The foot 8 is connected to the base 1 by a bearing. The foot 8 is connected to the longitudinal sliding component 4 by a thread. A nut 9 is also provided on the foot 8. The nut 9 abuts against the longitudinal sliding component 4 from below. The height position of the longitudinal sliding component 4 can be adjusted by twisting the foot 8. The longitudinal sliding component 4 is abutted and limited by twisting the nut 9.

[0052] The embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
