Design and Research of a Universal Dual-side Butt Flip Machine

Aiming at the problems of high risk and low efficiency in the process of transportation of chemical materials, which are corrosive, toxic and harmful, flammable, and explosive in the modern intelligent warehousing logistics and supply chain system, a universal dual-side butt automatic flip machine was designed, and the main structure and working principle of the flip machine were introduced. Through the theoretical calculation and virtual simulation, the structural design of the flip machine was completed, and it was concluded that the deformation and stress of the key parts of the flip machine, such as the clamping mechanism, main rotating shaft, and support frame, meet the design requirements under 1.35t rated external load. On this basis, the prototype of the flip machine was made, and 2880 times of flipping tests were carried out in three days. The results show that the flip machine has a remarkable level of safety and a high degree of automation, and the flipping efficiency of materials under 1.35t can reach 40 pallets/h, which is greatly improved compared with the traditional mode, and the feasibility and reliability were preliminarily verified.
