Modular platform for free conveying of materials

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of material conveying, in particular to a modular platform for free conveying of materials. The modular platform comprises a photosensitive platform module, a conveying wheel device and a control system, wherein the photosensitive platform module comprises a platform structure and a light sensing device; the platform structure is a unit part for composing the entire conveying platform; the light sensing device is used for sensing the material tray shading and transmitting the sensing result to the control system; the conveying wheel device is embedded in thephotosensitive platform module, and includes a wheel, a rolling driver and a steering driver; the wheel makes direct contact with a material tray; the rolling driver is controlled by the control system to make the wheel roll to achieve material conveying; and the steering driver is controlled by the control system to make the wheel change direction to achieve the control over the conveying direction. By means of the control system, the control over rolling and steering of the conveying wheel is mainly achieved; and by means of a light sensing signal, the positioning of the material tray and comprehensive monitoring of each platform module are achieved. Through the aforementioned technical scheme, the problem that an ordinary conveyor belt can only achieve oriented conveying is solved, andfree conveying of materials is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of material transportation, in particular to a modular platform for free material transportation. Background technique [0002] Material handling equipment is a friction driven machine that transports material in a continuous manner. It can form a material conveying process from the initial feeding point to the final unloading point on a certain conveying line. In addition to pure material transportation, it can also cooperate with the process requirements in the production process of various industrial enterprises to form a rhythmic assembly line, so it is widely used in various modern industrial enterprises. The stability and efficiency of material conveying equipment are directly related to the speed and efficiency of the entire operating system. [0003] However, the current material conveying equipment is mainly conveyed by conveyor belts or similar principles and methods. Its biggest feature is directional con...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the current material conveying equipment is mainly conveyed by conveyor belts or similar principles and methods. Its biggest feature is directional conveying from the feeding point to the unloading point, and the path is fixed; when a part of the conveying equipment fails, the entire The equipment and even the entire production process will stop running; it is difficult to troubleshoot and repair equipment failures, and the cycle is long; the energy consumption and economy of operation are not high
