Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal product processing technology, and in particular to a metal product flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Metal products are widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automobile production, and aerospace. During their processing, workpieces often require tilting mechanisms to adjust their posture to meet the demands of multiple processes such as welding, painting, and assembly. Cage-type tilting machines, with their simple structure and high load-bearing capacity, have become commonly used equipment for tilting large-sized, heavy-duty metal products.

[0003] Existing cage-type flipping machines mainly consist of a support frame, a cage, and a drive mechanism. They achieve workpiece flipping by driving the cage to rotate around an axis. However, in current technology, the cage alone restricts workpiece displacement, failing to securely clamp metal products. In actual operation, irregularly shaped or off-center-of-gravity metal products are prone to sliding and colliding within the cage during flipping, potentially causing scratches and deformation, and posing a risk of falling, thus affecting production safety and product quality. Furthermore, the lack of effective clamping results in inaccurate control of the workpiece flipping posture, requiring manual positioning, reducing production efficiency, and making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of automated production lines. Therefore, this invention proposes a metal product flipping mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a metal product flipping mechanism, which solves the problem of inconvenience in clamping metal products when using a cage-type flipping machine for flipping in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a metal product flipping mechanism, including a base, a side plate installed on the top of the base, a lower fixing plate installed on the lower inner side of the side plate, a lower support seat installed on the top of the lower fixing plate, clamping mechanisms provided at the front end and rear end of the lower support seat, an upper fixing plate installed on the upper inner side of the side plate, a hydraulic cylinder installed on the inner side of the upper fixing plate, an upper support seat installed below the upper fixing plate, the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder connected to the top end of the upper support seat, a first servo motor installed on one side of the base, a drive wheel installed at one end of the first servo motor, the output end of the first servo motor connected to one end of the drive wheel, the drive wheels connected by a connecting rod, a groove opened on the outer side of the side plate, a transmission belt provided on the outer side of the drive wheel and the inner side of the groove, and positioning mechanisms provided on both sides of the side plate; The clamping mechanism includes a support rod, a positioning block, a mounting cavity, a second servo motor, a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, and a limiting structure. The support rod is installed on both sides of the lower support base, and a positioning block is installed at one end of the support rod. The mounting cavity is installed at the bottom end of the lower fixed plate, and a second servo motor is installed at one end of the middle mounting cavity. A threaded rod is installed inside the middle mounting cavity, and the output end of the second servo motor is connected to one end of the threaded rod. The thread directions at both ends of the threaded rod are opposite, and threaded sleeves are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the threaded rod. One end of the threaded sleeve is connected to one end of the support rod.

[0006] A further improvement is that the limiting structure includes a limiting rod and a limiting sleeve. The limiting rod is installed inside the two mounting cavities on both sides. The outer side wall of the limiting rod is symmetrically provided with limiting sleeves. One end of the limiting sleeve is connected to one end of the support rod.

[0007] A further improvement is that the cross-section of the limiting rod is smaller than the cross-section of the limiting sleeve, and the limiting rod and the limiting sleeve form a sliding structure.

[0008] A further improvement is that the positioning mechanism includes a positioning seat and a cylinder. The positioning seat is installed at the four corners on the outside of the side plate. Cylinders are installed at the front and rear ends on both sides above the base. The top of the cylinder is in contact with the bottom of the positioning seat.

[0009] A further improvement is that four guide rollers are installed above the base, and the guide rollers are adapted to each other with the side plate.

[0010] A further improvement is that a guide groove is installed on the inner side of the side plate, and a guide wheel is provided inside the guide groove. One end of the guide wheel is connected to the corner of the upper support seat.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting clamping mechanisms at both ends of the lower support base, and utilizing the mutual cooperation between the support rod, positioning block, mounting cavity, second servo motor, threaded rod, threaded sleeve, limit rod, and limit sleeve of the clamping mechanism, it is possible to firmly fix metal products of different shapes and sizes, avoid workpiece slippage and collision during the flipping process, effectively prevent surface scratches and deformation, reduce the risk of falling, and ensure production safety and product quality. At the same time, precise clamping can stably control the workpiece flipping posture, eliminating the need for manual positioning assistance, improving flipping accuracy and automation, adapting to efficient assembly line operations, shortening the production cycle, reducing labor costs, and significantly enhancing the practicality and adaptability of the equipment. By setting positioning mechanisms at both ends of the side plate, and utilizing the mutual cooperation between the positioning seat and the cylinder of the positioning mechanism, the stopping position of the mechanism can be accurately locked, avoiding tilting and shaking caused by the weight or inertia of the workpiece, greatly improving the stability of stopping the machine, providing a precise benchmark for subsequent loading and unloading and processing processes, reducing manual calibration time, and at the same time, the positioning mechanism can distribute the pressure on the cage and reduce the wear of the transmission system.

[0014] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] according to Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this embodiment proposes a metal product flipping mechanism, including a base 1. A side plate 2 is installed on the top of the base 1. A lower fixing plate 3 is installed on the lower inner side of the side plate 2. A lower support seat 4 is installed on the top of the lower fixing plate 3. Clamping mechanisms are provided at the front and rear ends of the lower support seat 4. An upper fixing plate 5 is installed on the upper inner side of the side plate 2. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed on the inner side of the upper fixing plate 5. An upper support seat 7 is installed below the upper fixing plate 5. The bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the top end of the upper support seat 7. A first servo motor 8 is installed on one side above the base 1. A drive wheel 9 is installed at one end of the first servo motor 8. The output end of the first servo motor 8 is connected to one end of the drive wheel 9. The drive wheels 9 are connected by a connecting rod 11. A groove 12 is opened on the outer side of the side plate 2. A transmission belt 10 is provided on the outer side of the drive wheel 9 and the inner side of the groove 12. Positioning mechanisms are provided on both sides of the side plate 2.

[0016] The clamping mechanism includes a support rod 18, a positioning block 19, a mounting cavity 20, a second servo motor 21, a threaded rod 22, a threaded sleeve 23, and a limiting structure. The support rod 18 is installed on both sides of the lower support base 4. A positioning block 19 is installed at one end of the support rod 18. The mounting cavity 20 is installed at the bottom end of the lower fixing plate 3. A second servo motor 21 is installed at one end of the middle mounting cavity 20. A threaded rod 22 is installed inside the middle mounting cavity 20. The output end of the second servo motor 21 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 22. The thread directions at both ends of the threaded rod 22 are opposite. Threaded sleeves 23 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the threaded rod 22. One end of the threaded sleeve 23 is connected to one end of the support rod 18. When the second servo motor 21 is started, it drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve 23 to move. Then, under the limit of the limit rod 24 and the limit sleeve 25, the threaded sleeve 23 drives the support rod 18 to move. Thus, the positioning block 19 is used to clamp and position the metal product, which can firmly fix metal products of different shapes and sizes, avoid the workpiece from sliding and colliding during the flipping process, effectively prevent surface scratches and deformation, reduce the risk of falling, and ensure production safety and product quality. At the same time, precise clamping can stably control the workpiece flipping posture without the need for manual positioning, improve the flipping accuracy and automation level, adapt to the efficient operation of the assembly line, shorten the production cycle, reduce labor costs, and significantly enhance the practicality and adaptability of the equipment.

[0017] The limiting structure includes a limiting rod 24 and a limiting sleeve 25. The limiting rod 24 is installed inside the two mounting cavities 20 on both sides. The limiting sleeve 25 is symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the limiting rod 24. One end of the limiting sleeve 25 is connected to one end of the support rod 18. The cross-section of the limiting rod 24 is smaller than the cross-section of the limiting sleeve 25. The limiting rod 24 and the limiting sleeve 25 form a sliding structure. In use, the mutual cooperation between the limiting rod 24 and the limiting sleeve 25 can limit the movement of the support rod 18, making the support rod 18 more stable when moving.

[0018] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning seat 13 and a cylinder 14. The positioning seat 13 is installed at the four corners on the outside of the side plate 2. The front and rear ends of the two sides above the base 1 are equipped with cylinders 14. The top of the cylinder 14 is in contact with the bottom of the positioning seat 13. When in use, the cylinder 14 is activated to support the positioning seat 13, which can accurately lock the stopping position of the mechanism, avoid tilting or shaking caused by the weight or inertia of the workpiece, greatly improve the stability of the machine stop, provide a precise benchmark for subsequent loading and unloading and processing, reduce manual calibration time, and at the same time, the positioning mechanism can distribute the pressure on the cage and reduce the wear of the transmission system.

[0019] Four guide rollers 15 are installed above the base 1. The guide rollers 15 are adapted to the side plate 2. When the side plate 2 rotates, the guide rollers 15 support the side plate 2.

[0020] A guide groove 16 is installed on the inner side of the side plate 2. A guide wheel 17 is provided inside the guide groove 16. One end of the guide wheel 17 is connected to the corner of the upper support seat 7. In use, the guide groove 16 and the guide wheel 17 cooperate with each other to guide the upper support seat 7 when it moves, making the upper support seat 7 more stable when it moves.

[0021] Working principle: The operator first transports the metal product to the upper support seat 4 via a conveyor belt. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated. Under the limit of the guide groove 16 and the guide wheel 17, the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the upper support seat 7 to move downward to position the metal product. At the same time, the second servo motor 21 is activated to drive the threaded rod 22 to rotate, thus driving the threaded sleeve 23 to move. Then, under the limit of the limit rod 24 and the limit sleeve 25, the threaded sleeve 23 drives the support rod 18 to move, thus using the positioning block 19 to clamp and position the metal product. Then, the cylinder 14 is activated to move downward to release the support of the positioning seat 13. The first servo motor 8 is activated to drive the drive wheel 9 to rotate. Thus, under the transmission of the connecting rod 11, the two drive wheels 9 are driven to rotate. Under the support of the guide roller 15, the side plate 2 is driven to rotate by the transmission belt 10, thus causing the metal product to flip. After the flipping is completed, the cylinder 14 is activated to support the positioning seat 13. At this time, the metal product can be taken out from the upper support seat 7.
