Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic transport technology, and in particular to a device for transporting plate-shaped components. Background Art

[0002] In a mechanical processing or assembly workshop, there is often a process of transporting a plate-like component from one platform device to another platform device. In the prior art, in order to realize the transportation of the plate-like component, a drive system is usually installed on both platform devices.

[0003] Here are some examples of drive systems used to transport plate-like components:

[0004] 1. Belt conveying system. Specifically, belt conveying systems are installed on both platform devices. The belt conveying system on the rear platform device cooperates with the belt conveying system on the front platform device to transport the plate-like components from the rear platform device to the front platform device.

[0005] 2. A rack and pinion transport system. Specifically, racks are installed on both platform devices, and gears and a motor for driving the gears are installed on the plate-like component. The motor drives the gear to engage with the rack of the platform device on the rear side to drive the plate-like component to move toward the platform device on the front side. Then, when the plate-like component is transported to the area between the two platform devices, the gear switches to engage with the rack on the front side, and is finally transported to the platform device on the front side.

[0006] The above-mentioned method of conveying plate-shaped components in the prior art has the following defects:

[0007] 1. Whether it is a belt conveyor system or a rack and pinion conveyor system, it needs to be installed on two platform devices at the same time.

[0008] 2. In the process of transporting plate-like components using a belt conveyor system, the plate-like components cannot be well positioned and are prone to slipping relative to the belt, causing the spatial posture and relative position of the plate-like components to change. Therefore, the belt conveyor system cannot transport plate-like components that have high requirements for installation and positioning.

[0009] 3. When using the gear rack conveying system to transport plate-like parts, the gear and rack meshing transmission conditions are relatively high. When the gear switches from meshing with the rack on the rear side to meshing with the rack on the front side, the gear and rack will be stuck due to poor meshing during the switching process. In addition, the plate-like parts need to be equipped with gears and motors to drive the gears, which will inevitably affect the subsequent operations on the plate-like parts, such as positioning and processing of the plate-like parts.

[0069] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and well-known components are omitted.

[0070] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a transfer device, which is used to transport a plate-shaped component. The transported plate-shaped component can be a common workpiece to be processed or a special component for placing the workpiece to be processed.

[0071] The following is an example of a transfer device transporting a work platform 300 (as a plate-like component). In the prior art, the work platform 300 of a machine tool is usually inseparable from the machine tool. In the present invention, the work platform 300 and the machine tool are configured to be separable. The purpose is to clamp the workpiece to be processed on the work platform 300 in an area outside the machine tool, and then continuously transport the work platform 300 with the workpiece clamped to the machine tool, thereby avoiding the machine tool from stopping and waiting due to the clamping of the workpiece on the work platform 300 at the machine tool. This is beneficial to the continuous processing of batch workpieces by the machine tool, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0072] When the efficiency of clamping workpieces outside the machine tool is greater than the efficiency of the machine tool processing the workpieces, some work platforms 300 clamped with workpieces will be temporarily stored. When the efficiency of the machine tool processing the workpieces is greater than the efficiency of clamping workpieces outside the machine tool, the temporarily stored work platforms 300 need to be transported to the machine tool.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the transfer device provided by the present invention includes: a temporary storage platform device 200, a carrying platform device 100, an anti-slip mechanism 60, a guide mechanism 40 and a rolling mechanism 50.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the temporary storage platform device 200 is located in the temporary storage area, and is used for placing and temporarily storing the working platform 300. The temporary storage platform device 200 includes a fixed frame 201 and two opposite brackets formed on the upper end surface of the fixed frame 201. The working platform 300 is overlapped on the two brackets, so that an escape space is formed between the working platform 300 and the upper end surface of the fixed frame 201.

[0075] The carrier platform device 100 is arranged on one side of the temporary storage platform device 200, and the carrier platform device 100 includes a basic frame 101, a supporting plate frame 10, a first driving mechanism 20 and a second driving mechanism 30. A ground rail 400 is arranged below the carrier platform device 100, and the basic frame 101 is arranged on the ground rail 400, and the ground rail 400 extends to one side of the machine tool so that the carrier platform device 100 can move to one side of the machine tool.

[0076] The first driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the support plate frame 10 to move toward or away from the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200. After the first driving mechanism 20 makes the support plate frame 10 approach the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200, the second driving mechanism 30 is used to make the working platform 300 slide onto the support plate frame 10 from the fixed frame 201 of the temporary storage platform device 200.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a guide mechanism 40 is provided on both the temporary storage platform device 200 and the supporting plate frame 10, and the guide mechanism 40 includes: a guide strip 41 and a guide block 42. Guide strips 41 are provided on the two brackets of the fixed frame 201, and the guide strips 41 extend along the moving direction of the supporting plate frame 10. Each guide strip 41 is provided with a plurality of installation grooves arranged at intervals, and a guide block 42 is installed in each installation groove; similarly, two brackets are also provided on the supporting plate frame 10, and two guide strips 41 are also provided on the two brackets, and guide blocks 42 are provided in the installation grooves of the guide strips 41. In addition, the positions of the components in the guide mechanism 40 on the supporting plate frame 10 correspond to the positions of the components of the guide mechanism 40 on the temporary storage platform device 200, and the heights are flush. As shown Figure 2 As shown, a guide groove 43 is provided at the bottom of the working platform 300 at a position corresponding to the guide mechanism 40. When the working platform 300 is located on the temporary storage platform device 200, the guide block 42 is located in the guide groove 43. Based on the above, it can be known that Fig.10 As shown, when the support plate frame 10 moves to a position close to the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200, the second driving mechanism 30 applies a force toward the support plate frame 10 to the working platform 300, thereby enabling the guide groove 43 of the working platform 300 to slide onto the guide block 42 on the support plate frame 10, thereby enabling the working platform 300 to slide onto the support plate frame 10.

[0078] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rolling mechanism 50 is provided on both the temporary storage platform device 200 and the supporting plate frame 10, and the rolling mechanism 50 includes a plurality of rollers 51 arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the supporting plate frame 10. Specifically, the rollers 51 arranged as above are provided on the two brackets of the fixed frame 201 and the two brackets of the supporting plate frame 10, and the rollers 51 are used to support the bottom of the working platform 300 to reduce the contact friction between the guide block 42 and the guide groove 43, thereby improving the smoothness of the working platform 300 sliding off the temporary storage platform device 200 and sliding onto the supporting plate frame 10, and is conducive to reducing the wear of the guide block 42.

[0079] In the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the first driving mechanism 20 includes: a motor (not shown), a belt transmission mechanism, a lead screw 21 and a nut sleeve 22. The motor is mounted on the base frame 101 of the carrier platform device 100, and the lead screw 21 is arranged along the moving direction of the supporting plate frame 10. The motor drives the lead screw 21 to rotate by means of the belt transmission mechanism mounted on the base frame 101. The nut sleeve 22 is arranged at the bottom of the supporting plate frame 10, and the lead screw 21 passes through the nut sleeve 22 and forms a spiral transmission with the nut sleeve 22. In this way, the motor drives the lead screw 21 to rotate to drive the supporting plate frame 10 to approach or move away from the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200 by means of the spiral transmission of the lead screw 21 and the nut sleeve 22.

[0080] In the transfer device provided by the present invention, a key component is the second driving mechanism 30, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the second driving mechanism 30 includes: a motor (not shown), a transmission shaft 33 , a spiral component 31 and a columnar component 32 .

[0081] The spiral component 31 includes two sections, the two sections of the spiral components 31 are coaxially arranged and their axes are consistent with the moving direction of the supporting plate frame 10, and the spiral components 31 at both ends are arranged in the middle of the supporting plate frame 10, and the spiral components 31 at both ends are connected by a transmission shaft 33; the motor is installed on the supporting plate frame 10, and the motor is used to drive the transmission shaft 33 so that the transmission shaft 33 drives the two spiral components 31 to rotate synchronously.

[0082] The spiral component 31 has the following structure: Fig.11 As shown, a spirally extending guide groove 311 is formed on the outer circumference of the spiral component 31 .

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, the columnar component 32 includes multiple columnar components 32, which are arranged on the mounting strip 322 in the middle of the bottom of the working platform 300 at intervals along the moving direction of the supporting plate frame 10 and correspond to the spiral component 31; the axis of the columnar component 32 is in a vertical state.

[0084] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the first driving mechanism 20 makes the supporting plate rack 10 approach the working platform 300 of the temporary storage platform device 200, the frontmost columnar component 32 at the bottom of the working platform 300 enters the guide groove 311 from the cutout at the end of the guide groove 311 of the spiral component 31 at the rearmost side; the spiral component 31 is driven by the motor to rotate, so that the frontmost columnar component 32 slides forward along the guide groove 311, as shown in FIG. Fig.12As shown, at the same time, the columnar component 32 on the rear side slides into the guide groove 311 one after another and also slides forward along the guide groove 311. At this time, the groove wall of the guide groove 311 applies a force to the columnar component 32 in the direction of the supporting plate frame 10, thereby driving the working platform 300 to move toward the supporting plate frame 10. Figure 4 and 13 As shown, when some of the columnar components 32 on the front side slide into the spiral components 31 on the front side, the working platform 300 slides away from the temporary storage platform device 200 and slides onto the supporting plate frame 10.

[0085] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a rotating sleeve 321 is sleeved on the columnar component 32, and a rolling body, such as a roller 51 or a ball, is installed between the rotating sleeve 321 and the columnar component 32. At this time, the rotating sleeve 321 is equivalent to the outer ring of the bearing and can rotate freely. In this way, the rotating sleeve 321 is used to directly contact the groove wall of the guide groove 311. The rotating sleeve 321 can avoid sliding friction with the groove wall of the guide groove 311 by automatically rotating, thereby reducing the wear of the guide groove 311 and the columnar component 32, and can increase the service life of both.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the anti-slip mechanism 60 is used to limit the working platform 300, and the anti-slip mechanism 60 includes: an arc-shaped recess 62 and an elastic reset component 61. The arc-shaped recess 62 is arranged at the bottom of the working platform 300, and the two sides of the arc-shaped recess 62 have slopes; the elastic reset component 61 includes two, and the two elastic reset components 61 are respectively arranged on the supporting plate frame 10 and the temporary storage platform device 200. Each elastic reset component 61 includes a cylinder body 611, a rod body 612 whose lower end extends into the cylinder body 611, and a spring arranged in the cylinder body 611 for pushing the rod body 612 upward. The upper end of the rod body 612 of the elastic reset component 61 slides into the arc-shaped recess 62 by retracting and extending to limit the movement of the working platform 300.

[0087] An encoder (not shown) is also installed at the motor of the first driving mechanism 20, which is used to detect the number of rotations of the transmission shaft 33 and then detect the number of rotations of the spiral component 31. Since the moving distance of the columnar component 32 is related to the lead of the guide groove 311 and the rotation speed of the spiral component 31, the moving distance of the working platform 300 can be obtained in real time by detecting the rotation speed of the spiral component 31.

[0088] The working process of the above-mentioned transfer device provided by the present invention is introduced below:

[0089] First, if Fig. 9As shown, the transport platform device 100 moves integrally to one side of the temporary storage platform device 200 via the ground rail 400 , so as to prepare to receive the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200 onto the supporting plate frame 10 of the transport platform device 100 .

[0090] After the carrier platform device 100 moves to the side of the temporary storage platform device 200, Fig.10 As shown, the first driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the supporting plate frame 10 on the carrying platform device 100 so that the supporting plate frame 10 moves toward the working platform 300 on the temporary storage platform device 200 and finally approaches the working platform 300 .

[0091] After the support plate frame 10 moves to a position close to the working platform 300, Fig.11 As shown, the frontmost columnar component 32 at the bottom of the working platform 300 enters the guide groove 311 of the rear spiral component 31 .

[0092] The second driving mechanism 30 is used to make the two spiral components 31 rotate synchronously, so that the columnar component 32 at the bottom of the working platform 300 first moves along the guide groove of the rear spiral component 31. Fig.12 As shown, the spiral component 31 cooperates with the columnar component 32 to drive the working platform 300 to move toward the supporting plate frame 10 , thereby causing the working platform 300 to slide away from the temporary storage platform device 200 and slide onto the supporting plate frame 10 .

[0093] The working platform 300 continues to slide toward the supporting plate frame 10. Fig.13 As shown, the partial columnar component 32 located at the front side then slides into the guide groove 311 of the spiral component 31 located at the front side, thereby allowing the working platform 300 to completely slide onto the supporting plate frame 10.

[0094] Based on the encoder, the moving distance of the working platform 300 can be obtained, and then the distance between the actual position and the predetermined position of the working platform 300 can be obtained in real time. When the distance between the actual position and the predetermined position is small, the speed of the motor is gradually reduced to avoid a sudden drop in the motor speed when the working platform 300 moves to the predetermined position.

[0095] The motor start and stop are ultimately controlled by arranging a distance detection device such as a distance sensor on the supporting plate frame 10. For example, when the distance sensor detects that the working platform 300 is driven to a predetermined position range, the motor stops running.

[0096] When the support plate frame 10 is completely moved onto the support plate frame 10 and is located in the predetermined position range, the motor of the second drive mechanism 30 stops running. At this time, the upper end of the rod body 612 of the elastic reset component 61 located on the support plate frame 10 just slides into the arc-shaped recess 62 at the bottom of the working platform 300, thereby limiting the movement of the working platform 300.

[0097] After the working platform 300 is completely slid onto the supporting plate frame 10, Fig.14 As shown, the first driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the supporting plate frame 10 to move in a direction away from the temporary storage platform device 200 so that the supporting plate frame 10 is finally reset.

[0098] After the supporting plate frame 10 is reset, the working platform 300 is completely supported by the carrying platform device 100. Then, the carrying platform device 100 drives the working platform 300 to move along the ground rail 400 to one side of the machine tool to prepare for installing the working platform 300 on the machine tool.

[0099] It can be understood that if the working platform 300 needs to be transported from the carrier platform device 100 to the temporary storage platform device 200, first, the carrier platform device 100 still needs to be moved along the ground rail 400 to one side of the temporary storage platform device 200, and then, the first driving mechanism 20 is used to make the supporting plate frame 10 close to the temporary storage platform device 200, and then, the second driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the spiral component 31 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the working platform 300 to move toward the temporary storage platform device 200 and finally slide the working platform 300 onto the temporary storage platform device 200, and finally the supporting plate frame 10 is reset.

[0100] The advantages of the transfer device provided by the present invention are:

[0101] 1. The driving mechanism for transporting the working platform 300 from the temporary storage platform device 200 to the carrier platform device 100 is only provided in the carrier platform device 100, and the temporary storage platform device 200 does not need to be installed with the driving mechanism.

[0102] 2. The working platform 300 can be transported from the temporary storage platform device 200 to the supporting plate frame 10 by utilizing the cooperation of the spiral component 31 and the columnar component 32. In the process of transporting the working platform 300, the transmission process is smooth without jamming.

[0103] 3. The cooperation between the spiral component 31 and the columnar component 32 can provide greater power.

[0104] 4. The cooperation between the spiral component 31 and the columnar component 32 and the cooperation between the guide mechanism 40 and the guide groove 43 enables the working platform 300 to perform a strict linear movement during the transportation process.
