Specifically, a plurality of open slots 2211 are arranged on the turnover bracket 220 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 210, and the open slots 2211 are used for accommodating the circuit breaker 10, so that convenience and reliability are realized. In the present embodiment, the design of the plurality of open slots 2211 enables the turning bracket 220 to turn over the plurality of circuit breakers 10 simultaneously, so as to effectively improve the operation efficiency of the turning device. Illustratively, the open grooves 2211 are equally spaced four to eight in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 210.

When the controller receives the information that the second sensor 420 detects that the circuit breaker 10 is separated from the turning bracket 220 and the controller receives the information that the first sensor 410 detects that the circuit breaker 10 on the conveyor belt 110 is transferred to the turning bracket 220, the controller controls the motor 240 to drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate until the controller receives the information that the position sensor 260 senses the sensing part 251 and controls the motor 240 to stop again, and at this time, the turning bracket 220 is positioned at the next upper and lower material levels.

After the controller receives the information that the first sensor 410 detects that the breaker 10 on the conveyor belt 110 is transferred to the overturning bracket 220, the controller controls the motor 240 to drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate, and drives the overturning bracket 220 to overturn the breaker 10, so that an open slot 2211 faces to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 110; after the controller receives the information that the second sensor 420 detects that the breaker 10 is separated from the overturning bracket 220, the controller controls the motor 240 to drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate, so that the other open groove 2211 faces the feeding end of the conveyor belt 110.

Based on the above and the same concept, the present utility model provides a flipping method, as shown in fig. 6. The flipping method may be applied to the flipping apparatus according to any of the above embodiments, and it is also understood that the flipping apparatus may perform flipping based on the flipping method shown in fig. 6. Taking the example that the turntable 221 is provided with an even number of open grooves 2211 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 210, the flipping method comprises the following steps:

and S100, after the controller receives the information that the first sensor 410 detects that the circuit breaker 10 on the conveyor belt 110 is transferred to the overturning bracket 220, the controller controls the rotating shaft 210 to rotate.

If the first sensor 410 fails to detect the information that the circuit breaker 10 on the conveyor 110 is transferred to the flipping rack 220 for a long period of time, a warning may be provided by the controller to alert a technician to the process.

Before executing step S100, it is first required to detect whether the position sensor 260 can detect the sensing portion 251 of the sensing member 250, if so, step S100 is executed, otherwise, the rotation of the spindle 210 is controlled by the controller until the position sensor 260 detects the sensing portion 251.

In the present embodiment, the rotation of the spindle 210 is stopped when the position sensor 260 detects the next sensing portion 251 in step S100. Taking the rotary plate 221 as an example, four open slots 2211 are formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 210, the rotary shaft 210 stops rotating after rotating by 90 °, and at this time, the circuit breaker 10 faces vertically upwards and is located in the open slots 2211.

Step S200 is repeated until the opening of the opening groove 2211 accommodating the circuit breaker 10 is directed to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 110.

In the present embodiment, the controller can confirm whether the opening of the open groove 2211 accommodating the circuit breaker 10 is toward the discharge end of the conveyor belt 110 by receiving the information of the second sensor 420 or by receiving the information of the position sensor 260.

And S300, the controller receives the information that the first sensor 410 detects that the circuit breaker 10 on the conveyor belt 110 is transferred to the overturning bracket 220, and controls the rotating shaft 210 to rotate after receiving the information that the second sensor 420 detects that the circuit breaker 10 is separated from the overturning bracket 220.

By repeating step S300, simultaneous turning operation of a plurality of circuit breakers 10 can be realized to improve the operation efficiency of the turning apparatus.

In the present embodiment, the rotation angles of the rotation shafts 210 in step S300 and step S100 are the same.

It should be noted that, after the last breaker 10 of the conveyor 110 is transferred to the turning rack 220 and the step S300 is performed once, since no breaker 10 is transferred to the turning rack 220, the rotation of the rotating shaft 210 may be controlled manually, or after the controller receives the information that the third sensor 430 does not detect the breaker 10, the controller may directly control the rotation of the rotating shaft 210 to turn over the breaker 10.

The turnover equipment provided by the embodiment is not only suitable for the circuit breaker, but also suitable for other products needing to be turned over.

It is to be understood that the above examples of the present utility model are provided for clarity of illustration only and are not limiting of the embodiments of the present utility model. Various obvious changes, rearrangements and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model. It is not necessary here nor is it exhaustive of all embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. which come within the spirit and principles of the utility model are desired to be protected by the following claims.
