Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of forging production, and in particular to a special transport device suitable for the production of container corner pieces. Background Art
[0002] In the existing production process of container corner parts, the workpieces are usually processed by repeatedly opening and closing forging dies. Every time a workpiece is produced, it needs to be grabbed by external mechanical equipment for inspection and subsequent production. However, in the production process of the workpiece, in order to ensure multi-angle forging die filling inspection, the workpiece must be flipped in multiple directions during transportation. This requirement is usually met by complex robotic arms, which perform complex calculations and calibrations in three-dimensional space to ensure that the workpiece can be accurately grabbed and flipped.
[0003] However, there are several technical problems in this process. First, it is difficult for the robotic arm to reach deep between the upper and lower molds to accurately grasp the workpiece, which means that in actual operation, it is necessary to use a slide rail to push the lower mold to the outside in order to fix and transport the workpiece. This method not only increases the complexity of the equipment, but also makes the mold assembly process unstable and prone to assembly errors. Secondly, the complex operation of the robotic arm and the requirements of multi-directional flipping make the calculation and control of the overall system very complicated, especially in a high-speed production environment. The operating accuracy and efficiency of the robotic arm have become an important challenge. In addition, frequent mold movement and workpiece grasping may cause wear and failure of the mechanical system, further affecting the stability and reliability of production.
[0004] Therefore, a special transport equipment suitable for the production of container corner fittings is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , the following describes some embodiments of the present invention, a special transportation equipment suitable for the production of container corner fittings.
[0026] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a special transport device suitable for the production of container corner fittings. In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the special transport equipment includes a first conveying end 1 and a second conveying end 2, the first conveying end 1 is fixed on a base 4, and the second conveying end 2 is assembled on the base 4 through a first hydraulic rod 3; the first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 are used to convey the workpiece formed in the forging die to the outside; The workpiece conveying end faces of the first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 are spaced and correspond to each other, and a through cavity 5 for the movement of the workpiece is formed in the middle space corresponding to the interval; the first hydraulic rod 3 is used to drive the second conveying end 2 along a conveying direction to extend the through cavity 5 along the conveying direction, and make the second conveying end 2 located between the upper die and the lower die of the forging die; the through cavity 5 formed together is used for the movement of the workpiece, so that the overall process in the workpiece transportation is more coherent, and a longer stroke extension can be performed, and no additional lateral movement of the lower die is required, so that the lower die can be directly fixed, and only the upper die and the lower die need to move longitudinally in the production, thereby reducing the production error.
[0027] The second conveying end 2 includes a clamping mechanism 6 located in the through cavity 5, and the clamping mechanism 6 is used to clamp the workpiece in the first posture on the lower mold; the second conveying end 2 is rotatably mounted on the moving end of the first hydraulic rod 3 through the support roller 7, so that it can rotate relative to the first conveying end 1 during the movement of the second conveying end 2, and the workpiece can be placed on the first conveying end 1 in the second posture; the overall rotation of the second conveying end 2 is driven by the roller, so that the posture of the workpiece can be changed, which is convenient for inspection at different angles, and the complex three-dimensional space transmission is decoupled by executing separate transmission through different structures, thereby simplifying the control burden.
[0028] The present invention provides a special transportation equipment suitable for the production of container corner fittings, wherein the first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 are core components of the special transportation equipment, and are used to convey the workpiece from the forging die to the outside after the workpiece processing is completed. The first conveying end 1 is fixed on the base 4, and the second conveying end 2 is assembled on the base 4 through the first hydraulic rod 3. The first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 can work together to effectively carry out continuous transportation of the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece is not displaced or damaged during the transportation process. The configuration and mutual cooperation of the first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 ensure that the workpiece can be smoothly conveyed out of the forging die and transferred to other production links. In this way, the problems of production stagnation and inefficiency caused by unstable workpiece transportation in traditional production are reduced.
[0029] The workpiece conveying end faces of the first conveying end 1 and the second conveying end 2 are spaced and correspond to each other in structure, and this spaced and corresponding structure forms a through cavity 5. The through cavity 5 allows the workpiece to move smoothly and stably therein, further ensuring the continuity of the workpiece transportation process. The workpiece moves along the conveying direction through the through cavity 5 and can smoothly enter the next processing or testing link. The movement of the workpiece through the through cavity 5 not only improves the smoothness and stability of the transportation process, but also avoids the complexity of the additional lateral movement required in traditional technology. Due to the design of the through cavity 5, the movement path of the workpiece is clear and coherent, which can effectively reduce the error of the workpiece during transportation, thereby improving the overall production accuracy.
[0030] The first hydraulic rod 3 is used to drive the movement of the second conveying end 2 along a conveying direction. This allows the second conveying end 2 to extend through the cavity 5 and accurately position the second conveying end 2 between the upper die and the lower die of the forging die. The first hydraulic rod 3 provides thrust to ensure that the second conveying end 2 can move smoothly and accurately, thereby facilitating the conveying, clamping and rotation of the workpiece. The first hydraulic rod 3 allows the movement of the second conveying end 2 to be precisely controlled, while also simplifying the longitudinal uniaxial movement of the die. By avoiding lateral movement of the lower die, errors in the production process can be significantly reduced. In addition, the flexibility and precise control of the hydraulic rod further improve the stability and operating efficiency of the transportation system.
[0031] The second conveying end 2 is equipped with a clamping mechanism 6, which is used to clamp the workpiece in the first posture on the lower die of the forging die. The clamping mechanism 6 ensures that the workpiece is firmly fixed during transportation, avoiding production risks caused by loosening or falling of the workpiece. During the movement of the second conveying end 2, the clamping mechanism 6 stably grasps and fixes the workpiece, providing reliable support for subsequent operations. The cooperation between the clamping mechanism 6 and the second conveying end 2 allows the workpiece to be stably maintained in the desired position during transportation and flipping, preventing the workpiece from being displaced or damaged due to external forces. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 6 can also ensure that the workpiece is not disturbed during rotation, thereby improving the accuracy of workpiece inspection and processing.
[0032] The second conveying end 2 is rotatably mounted on the moving end of the first hydraulic rod 3 through the support roller 7. The support roller 7 enables the second conveying end 2 to rotate relative to the first conveying end 1 during the movement. Through the support roller 7, the rotation of the second conveying end 2 can drive the posture of the workpiece to change, thereby facilitating the inspection and processing of the workpiece at different angles. Through the rotation of the support roller 7, the workpiece can achieve multi-angle adjustment of the posture during transportation to meet different detection requirements. The support roller 7 drives the second conveying end 2 to rotate and realize the change of the workpiece posture, which not only improves the adaptability of the workpiece during transportation, but also decouples the complex three-dimensional space transmission problem. Through the independent transmission structure, the operation difficulty is simplified, and the complex calculation and calibration requirements in the operation of traditional robotic arms are reduced. The rotation mechanism of the roller effectively improves the operational flexibility of the system and simplifies the control burden during the overall transportation process.
[0033] Through the cooperation of the second conveying end 2 and the supporting roller 7, the entire transportation system can better adapt to the conveying requirements of the workpiece in different postures, avoiding the trouble of complex calculations and calibrations required by the robot arm. The operation during the workpiece conveying process is simplified, the manpower input and the difficulty of operation are reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. The simplified operation method and precise posture control effectively reduce the errors in the production process, especially when the workpiece is inspected, the workpiece can be fully inspected at different angles without having to repeat complex posture adjustments or re-grasping. The operation of the entire system is more efficient and accurate, ensuring the continuity and high quality of production.
[0034] Specifically, the first posture is a molding posture of the workpiece in the lower mold, and the second posture can be an inverted posture obtained by rotating the first posture by 180 degrees.
[0035] In any of the above embodiments, the dedicated transportation equipment further includes: A plurality of first annular racks 8 are arranged along the conveying direction, and each first annular rack 8 circumferentially surrounds the outside of the through cavity 5; the clamping mechanism 6 is assembled on the first annular rack 8 through a lifting mechanism 9, and the lifting mechanism 9 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to move along the opening direction of the forging die.
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of first annular frames 8 are arranged along the conveying direction, and each annular frame surrounds the outside of the through cavity 5 circumferentially on the structure. The function of the first annular frame 8 is to provide stable support and positioning for the clamping mechanism 6. During the conveying process, the first annular frame 8 forms a supporting structure around the through cavity 5, in which way the clamping mechanism 6 can maintain a good positioning in the transport equipment and stably perform the clamping and adjustment of the workpiece. The provision of the first annular frame 8 ensures that the clamping mechanism 6 can move smoothly along the conveying direction between the plurality of first annular frames 8. The first annular frame 8 cooperates with the clamping mechanism 6 so that the clamping mechanism 6 always remains in a suitable working position and reduces vibration or deviation that may occur during transportation. Through this structure, the clamping mechanism 6 can stably and accurately clamp the workpiece and perform corresponding operations under the support of each first annular frame 8, thereby avoiding instability and errors in the clamping process.
[0037] The clamping mechanism 6 is assembled on the first annular frame 8 through the lifting mechanism 9, and the lifting mechanism 9 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to move along the die opening direction of the forging die. The function of the lifting mechanism 9 is to adjust the position of the clamping mechanism 6 by moving in the vertical direction to ensure that the clamping mechanism 6 can be accurately positioned at the required workpiece position. The movement mode of the lifting mechanism 9 enables the clamping mechanism 6 to perform corresponding actions at different stages of the production process according to the specific requirements of the workpiece, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the workpiece during transportation. The synergy between the lifting mechanism 9 and the clamping mechanism 6 ensures that the clamping mechanism 6 can accurately move according to the die opening direction of the forging die, and can flexibly adapt to the positioning requirements of different workpieces. Through the movement of the lifting mechanism 9, the clamping mechanism 6 can be adjusted up and down when necessary, thereby ensuring its correct positioning in each link during the workpiece processing process, avoiding damage to the workpiece or operation error caused by improper clamping. In addition, the lifting mechanism 9 can also realize the precise movement of the clamping mechanism 6 at different heights, so that when the workpiece is taken out of the die, the clamping mechanism 6 can always ensure sufficient gripping force and stability.
[0038] The mutual cooperation between the first ring frame 8, the lifting mechanism 9 and the clamping mechanism 6 ensures the precise control of the clamping mechanism 6 during the entire workpiece transportation process. The lifting mechanism 9 can move smoothly under the support of the first ring frame 8, and drive the clamping mechanism 6 to adjust up and down along the mold opening direction of the forging die. As a supporting structure, the first ring frame 8 not only provides the stability of the clamping mechanism 6, but also ensures that the movement of the lifting mechanism 9 is not disturbed, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the clamping mechanism 6 under various working conditions. The lifting mechanism 9 adjusts the height of the clamping mechanism 6 through precise vertical movement, so that the clamping mechanism 6 can flexibly adapt to the position and posture requirements of different workpieces. At the same time, the stable support of the first ring frame 8 reduces the instability of the clamping mechanism 6 in motion, ensuring that the clamping mechanism 6 can always remain on the required working trajectory, thereby avoiding the workpiece from being offset or loosened during transportation. This collaborative relationship ensures that the workpiece will not be disturbed or affected by external disturbances during transportation, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of production.
[0039] Specifically, the side of the frame assembled at the bottom of the lower mold is formed with an arc groove for the bottom movement of the first annular frame 8 to avoid interference between the first annular frame 8 and the lower mold and the installed structure; and the lower mold is self-configured with multiple ejector rods for ejecting the workpiece upward.
[0040] Furthermore, an annular groove 801 is opened on the circumferential side wall of the first annular frame 8, and the inner wall of the annular groove 801 is in contact with the supporting roller 7 to provide circumferential rolling support for the first annular frame 8, and when the first annular frame 8 moves along the transport direction, it is supported by the inner side wall of the annular groove 801 to ensure stability during the simultaneous circumferential rotation and uniaxial movement.
[0041] As can be seen from the above, the annular groove 801 is formed on the circumferential side wall of the first annular frame 8, and its inner wall is closely fitted with the support roller 7, in order to realize the circumferential rolling support for the first annular frame 8. The function of the support roller 7 is to convert the friction force in the annular groove 801 into a stable rolling support force, so that the first annular frame 8 can rotate smoothly and frictionlessly in the circumferential direction. The inner wall of the annular groove 801 not only closely fits with the support roller 7, but also provides additional support force for the movement of the first annular frame 8 in the transportation direction. When the first annular frame 8 moves along the transportation direction, the inner wall of the annular groove 801 acts as a guide track, and the stability of the first annular frame 8 is maintained by sliding fit. The interaction between the inner wall and the support roller 7 ensures the stability of the first annular frame 8 in longitudinal transportation, and avoids structural vibration or inaccurate displacement caused by unstable support.
[0042] The first annular frame 8 not only moves in a uniaxial direction (along the transport direction), but also rotates in a circumferential direction. Therefore, the presence of the annular groove 801 ensures that the circumferential rotation and the uniaxial movement can be performed synchronously and stably without error. Through the support provided by the inner wall of the annular groove 801, the circumferential rotation of the first annular frame 8 is precisely controlled, and due to the support of the inner wall, the first annular frame 8 will not be offset or unstable during the rotation process. The stability of synchronous motion is the basis for ensuring that the system can perform tasks efficiently in actual work, especially in the process of rapid transportation, which can reduce the interference caused by uneven motion or errors.
[0043] In any of the above embodiments, the first delivery end 1 comprises: The second annular frame 16 is fixed on the base 4 .
[0044] The chain drive belt 17 is fixed to the second annular frame 16 via an L-shaped frame body 18 and extends from the second annular frame 16 to the first annular frame 8 along the conveying direction; the upper surface of the chain drive belt 17 forms the workpiece conveying end surface of the first conveying end 1.
[0045] The third motor 19 is fixed on the second annular frame 16 , and the output end of the third motor 19 is connected to the chain transmission belt 17 .
[0046] In this embodiment, the second ring frame 16 is fixedly mounted on the base 4 as the basic structure of the first conveying end 1 and provides stable support. Its function is to provide a solid support platform for the chain drive belt 17 and other related components to ensure that the entire conveying system has good stability and durability during operation. The second ring frame 16 will be responsible for bearing the weight of the chain drive belt 17 and the power output of the third motor 19 to ensure that the system as a whole can run smoothly. The mutual cooperation between the second ring frame 16 and other components is the basis for the stable operation of the system. Since the second ring frame 16 fixes the chain drive belt 17 thereon, it ensures that the drive belt can be stably extended to the first ring frame 8 along the conveying direction without being affected by external interference or excessive vibration. Its stability directly determines whether the chain drive belt 17 can run smoothly, thereby affecting the conveying accuracy of the workpiece.
[0047] The chain drive belt 17 is fixed on the second ring frame 16 through the L-shaped frame 18, and extends to the first ring frame 8 along the conveying direction, forming the workpiece conveying end face of the second conveying end 2. The upper surface of the chain drive belt 17 bears the actual workpiece conveying task, and pushes the workpiece from the second ring frame 16 to the first ring frame 8 along the conveying direction. The chain transmission method can provide stable and strong power output, ensuring that the workpiece does not slip or shake during the entire conveying process. The design of the chain drive belt 17 and the support of the second ring frame 16 cooperate with each other, making the conveying process both efficient and accurate. The second ring frame 16 serves as a supporting frame, allowing the chain drive belt 17 to run stably, and the role of the L-shaped frame 18 is to ensure that the tension of the chain drive belt 17 is moderate, avoiding excessive relaxation or tension, and further improving the stability during the conveying process. Through this synergistic effect, the chain drive belt 17 can push the workpiece evenly and continuously during the conveying process, and avoid workpiece transportation errors caused by belt failure or instability.
[0048] In any of the above embodiments, the movable ends of all first hydraulic rods 3 are commonly fixed with a support frame 10, which is used to connect the bottom base of the support roller 7 and the movable end of the first hydraulic rod 3; the support frame 10 is slidably installed on the upper surface of the base 4.
[0049] In this embodiment, the support frame 10 is connected to the mobile end of the first hydraulic rod 3 to form the basic support structure of the hydraulic system. The support frame 10 is installed on the surface of the base 4 by sliding, providing a stable motion track for the first hydraulic rod 3 to ensure the precise execution of the hydraulic drive. On this basis, the support frame 10 is connected to the mobile end of the first hydraulic rod 3 through the support roller 7. The rolling action of the support roller 7 reduces friction and enhances the stability and durability of the system. The design of the support frame 10 not only carries the power output of the hydraulic system, but also transmits the power of the hydraulic drive to the second conveying end 2 through the support roller 7, ensuring that the hydraulic system can effectively control the transportation path of the workpiece during execution. The cooperation between the support frame 10 and the support roller 7 reduces the friction between the hydraulic system and the surface of the base 4, effectively improves the smoothness of the system operation, and reduces the energy loss and equipment wear caused by friction. The support frame 10, the support roller 7 and the first annular frame 8 are driven to move by the mobile end of the first hydraulic rod 3 to extend or shrink the through cavity 5.
[0050] In any of the above embodiments, a transmission chain 11 is provided on the circumference of the outer wall of the first annular frame 8, and a first motor 12 is installed on the support frame 10. The output end of the first motor 12 is meshed with the transmission chain 11 through a gear to drive the workpiece to change from the first posture to the second posture. The transmission chain 11 is attached to the outer wall of the first annular frame 8 and the transmission chain 11 is similar to a flexible structure compared to a gear, so that the high temperature environment in the mold can be adapted to avoid the high temperature environment around the mold and the low temperature environment outside the production equipment from affecting the transmission direction of the large diameter circumferential structure.
[0051] In this embodiment, the transmission chain 11 is used as a power transmission component, and its fitting design with the outer wall of the first annular frame 8 ensures that the transmission chain 11 can operate more stably during the working process. Compared with the rigid gear structure, the transmission chain 11 has a certain flexibility and can effectively adapt to the dimensional changes caused by temperature fluctuations. In the high temperature environment of the forging die, temperature changes may cause thermal expansion and contraction of the material. Rigid structures are often difficult to cope with such deformations, while the flexible characteristics of the transmission chain 11 enable it to adapt to the deformation caused by temperature changes without losing transmission efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the workpiece during the posture change process. Secondly, the cooperation between the first motor 12 and the gear plays a driving role. The first motor 12 drives the gear through its output end, and the meshing of the gear and the transmission chain 11 realizes the transmission of the transmission power and ensures that the workpiece can smoothly change from the first posture to the second posture. The combination of the gear and the transmission chain 11 can accurately control the motion trajectory of the workpiece, so that the workpiece can smoothly complete the transition from one processing posture to another without deviation or error.
[0052] In addition, since the mold will be in a high temperature environment during operation, the low temperature environment of the external production equipment will also affect the operation of the equipment. In traditional transmission structures, high and low temperatures may have an adverse effect on the transmission system, resulting in reduced transmission accuracy or structural deformation. By using a combination of the transmission chain 11 and a flexible structure, the impact of high temperature on the system can be effectively alleviated. The flexible structure of the transmission chain 11 can adapt to the dimensional changes caused by temperature to a certain extent, avoiding the adverse effects of the temperature difference between the high temperature of the mold and the external low temperature, and ensuring that the system can still operate stably under temperature fluctuations.
[0053] In general, the transmission chain 11 disposed on the outer wall of the first annular frame 8 is combined with the first motor 12 through gears to form a power system that can adapt to high temperature environments and maintain high transmission efficiency. The flexible characteristics of the transmission chain 11 enable it to adapt to deformation caused by temperature, avoid the influence of high and low temperature environments on traditional rigid structures, maintain the stability and accuracy of the system, and thus ensure the smooth implementation of the workpiece posture transformation process and the long-term reliable operation of the overall equipment.
[0054] In any of the above embodiments, the transmission chain 11 is engaged with the circumferential outer wall of the first annular frame 8, and the transmission chain 11 covers part of the first annular frame 8 in the circumferential direction; the two ends of the transmission chain 11 are fixedly connected to the outside of the first annular frame 8 through the elastic member 13. The elastic member 13 adopts a spring structure, and is stretched to a certain extent during installation to cope with the extension or shortening of the structure length of the transmission chain 11 during thermal expansion and contraction, and to always keep the transmission chain 11 tightly engaged with the circumferential outer wall of the first annular frame 8.
[0055] In this embodiment, the transmission chain 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first annular frame 8 through its two ends, and is specifically connected to the first annular frame 8 through the elastic member 13, so as to ensure that the transmission chain 11 can always remain fastened and embraced on the circumferential outer wall of the first annular frame 8 under the change of high and low temperature environment during the working process of the mold. The elastic member 13 adopts a spring structure, and stretches the transmission chain 11 to a certain extent during installation to adapt to the elongation or shortening of the length of the transmission chain 11 caused by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby maintaining the stability and accuracy of its structure.
[0056] First, the transmission chain 11 is arranged to be fixed by wrapping around the outer wall of the first annular frame 8. The transmission chain 11 covers part of the first annular frame 8 in the circumferential direction, which plays a role in transmitting power. The layout of the transmission chain 11 at this position enables it to give full play to its flexibility and adaptability during the working process, and reduce the influence of the system caused by the ambient temperature difference during the transmission process. The transmission chain 11 covers the outer wall of the first annular frame 8, and with the operation of the annular frame, the posture of the workpiece can be changed and adjusted. In order to cope with the thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, the two ends of the transmission chain 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the first annular frame 8 by elastic members 13. The role of the elastic member 13 is to ensure that the transmission chain 11 will not loosen or move due to expansion caused by high temperature environment or contraction caused by low temperature environment during the working process by providing sufficient tensile force. The elastic member 13 adopts a spring structure, which can not only provide the required tension so that the transmission chain 11 always remains in a tight state, but also the characteristics of the spring can effectively adapt to the change in the length of the transmission chain 11 during temperature changes. The spring can provide tension when the transmission chain 11 expands due to heat, thereby preventing the transmission chain 11 from slackening or loosening due to thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, it can also apply a certain force to the transmission chain 11 when the temperature drops to avoid loosening caused by excessive contraction.
[0057] During installation, the spring structure stretches the transmission chain 11 to a certain extent, so that the transmission chain 11 can be in the best tension state in the working environment. This pre-stretching design ensures that the transmission chain 11 can fully adapt to the dimensional changes caused by high and low temperatures during the entire working process, and always maintain a stable structural state and working accuracy. In this way, not only the tightness between the transmission chain 11 and the first ring frame 8 is enhanced, but also any looseness or misalignment caused by temperature changes is avoided, further improving the operating stability of the equipment under extreme temperature conditions.
[0058] In any of the above embodiments, the second delivery end 2 further includes: There are multiple conveying rollers 14 arranged along the conveying direction, and the outer walls of all conveying rollers 14 form the workpiece conveying end surface of the second conveying end 2 along the conveying direction; all conveying rollers 14 and the clamping mechanism 6 are fixed on the lifting mechanism 9 together, and the conveying rollers 14 are located between the clamping mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 9.
[0059] The second motor 15 is fixed on the first annular frame 8 ; the output end of the second motor 15 is connected to the conveying roller 14 .
[0060] In this embodiment, a plurality of conveying rollers 14 are arranged along the conveying direction, and the outer wall forms the workpiece conveying end face of the second conveying end 2 along the conveying direction. Each conveying roller 14 is driven by power through connection with the second motor 15, thereby realizing the movement and transfer of the workpiece. The outer wall of the conveying roller 14 provides a stable support surface for the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece can move evenly and smoothly along the conveying direction during the entire conveying process. The arrangement of the plurality of conveying rollers 14 enables them to form a continuous conveying surface during the entire conveying process, providing stable support for the workpiece, avoiding sliding or tilting of the workpiece due to uneven support, thereby improving the conveying accuracy and stability.
[0061] All conveying rollers 14 and the clamping mechanism 6 are fixed together on the lifting mechanism 9. The function of the clamping mechanism 6 is to fix the workpiece at a specified position to prevent the position of the workpiece from changing due to vibration or other factors during the conveying process. The clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14 are installed together on the lifting mechanism 9, and the function of the lifting mechanism 9 is to realize the adjustment of the workpiece between different heights, ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately positioned at a suitable height position during transportation. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 9 drives the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14 to move up and down as a whole, so that the conveying system can adapt to the size and position requirements of different workpieces, and provides high flexibility for the precise conveying of the workpiece. The combined action of the conveying roller 14, the clamping mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 9 ensures that the workpiece can be accurately adjusted in the vertical direction during the conveying process. It is suitable for situations where multi-angle inspection and operation of the workpiece are required during the production process, such as the need to inspect and flip the workpiece in multiple postures. Through the adjustment of the lifting mechanism 9, it can be ensured that the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14 are always in the best working position, thereby avoiding the transmission unsmoothness or error caused by height mismatch.
[0062] Next, the second motor 15 is used to provide the necessary power source for the conveying roller 14. The second motor 15 is fixed to the first ring frame 8 and is connected to the conveying roller 14 through its output end to drive the conveying roller 14 to rotate, thereby driving the workpiece to move along the conveying direction. The design of the second motor 15 enables it to efficiently and smoothly transmit power, ensuring the continuity and stability of the conveying process. The second motor 15 provides power support for the entire conveying system, allowing each conveying roller 14 to work synchronously, ensuring the smooth movement and precise delivery of the workpiece during the conveying process.
[0063] In any of the above embodiments, the lifting mechanism 9 includes a second hydraulic rod 901 and a transmission frame 902, the second hydraulic rod 901 is fixed on the first annular frame 8; the upper surface of the transmission frame 902 is connected to the movable end of the second hydraulic rod 901, and the upper surface of the transmission frame 902 is connected to the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14.
[0064] In this embodiment, the second hydraulic rod 901 and the transmission frame 902, these two main components work together to achieve vertical adjustment of the workpiece conveying system. The second hydraulic rod 901 is fixed on the first ring frame 8 and serves as the power source of the lifting mechanism 9, responsible for controlling the up and down movement of the workpiece conveying system. Its working principle is: through hydraulic drive, the second hydraulic rod 901 can accurately adjust the height of the lifting mechanism 9, thereby driving the vertical displacement of the connected clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14, so as to ensure that the workpiece can be accurately positioned in each process step. The function of the transmission frame 902 is to convert the linear movement of the hydraulic rod into the up and down movement of the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14. The transmission frame 902 is connected to the moving end of the second hydraulic rod 901, so that the up and down movement of the hydraulic rod can directly act on the transmission frame 902, thereby driving the vertical adjustment of the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14. In this way, the clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14 can always maintain an accurate height position during the entire conveying process with the adjustment of the lifting mechanism 9, avoiding the workpiece positioning error caused by inaccurate height.
[0065] The clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying roller 14 form a whole by connecting with the transmission frame 902. The vertical adjustment of the lifting mechanism 9 can ensure the accurate positioning of the workpiece in different process steps. The clamping mechanism 6 plays a role in fixing the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece does not shift during the conveying process, while the conveying roller 14 provides the necessary support and power for the workpiece, so that the workpiece can move smoothly along the conveying direction.
[0066] In any of the above embodiments, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a third hydraulic rod 601 and a clamping plate 602 ; two third hydraulic rods 601 are provided and symmetrically mounted on the transmission frame 902 and fixed on the moving end of the third hydraulic rod 601 .
[0067] In this embodiment, the hydraulic rod drives the clamping plate 602 to open and close through telescopic action, thereby clamping and releasing the workpiece. This coordination allows the workpiece to remain in a stable fixed state throughout the entire conveying process, avoiding the influence of external vibration or operation error. Due to the characteristics of the hydraulic system, the third hydraulic rod 601 can apply appropriate pressure to the clamping plate 602 as needed to ensure that the workpiece is not damaged by excessive clamping force, while being able to firmly fix the workpiece to avoid position deviation of the workpiece in subsequent processes.
[0068] In addition, the symmetrical installation of the third hydraulic rod 601 enables the clamping mechanism 6 to maintain a balanced force distribution when clamping the workpiece, ensuring stability during the clamping process. The symmetrical design reduces the risk of uneven clamping or workpiece deformation due to unbalanced force, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the clamping process. The bidirectional operation of the hydraulic rod further improves the flexibility and adaptability of the clamping system, and can be adjusted according to the size, shape or weight of different workpieces.
[0069] In any of the above embodiments, the moving directions of the moving ends of the first hydraulic rod 3, the second hydraulic rod 901 and the third hydraulic rod 601 are perpendicular to each other, so as to perform control and movement in different directions in three-dimensional space.
[0070] In this embodiment, the moving end of the first hydraulic rod 3 moves along the X-axis direction (assuming it is the horizontal direction). Its main function is to provide power control in the front and rear directions, thereby adjusting the movement of some components connected to it in the horizontal direction. When the hydraulic system controls the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic rod 3, the clamping mechanism 6 where the workpiece is located and the related conveying system can make necessary movements in the horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the position of the workpiece. The extension and retraction accuracy and response speed of the first hydraulic rod 3 directly affect the positioning accuracy of the workpiece in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the workpiece can stably maintain the correct relative position during the process.
[0071] The moving end of the second hydraulic rod 901 moves along the Z-axis direction (assuming it is the depth direction), and its main function is to adjust the height of the adjustment system in the depth direction. When the hydraulic system controls the second hydraulic rod 901, it drives the connected clamping mechanism 6 and the conveying system to move up and down in the depth direction, thereby controlling the adjustment of the workpiece between different vertical height positions. This height adjustment enables the system to adapt to different types of workpieces or process requirements, such as ensuring that the workpiece is always in a precise position when the workpiece needs to undergo different processing steps, inspections, or transportation.
[0072] The moving end of the third hydraulic rod 601 moves along the Y-axis direction (perpendicular to the XZ plane), and its function is mainly reflected in the vertical clamping control of the clamping mechanism 6. When the third hydraulic rod 601 is controlled, its extension and retraction will drive the opening and closing of the clamping mechanism 6, thereby accurately clamping or loosening the workpiece. This extension and retraction movement of the hydraulic rod ensures the reasonable distribution of the clamping force in three-dimensional space, so that the workpiece can be firmly fixed on the conveying chain to prevent any loosening or displacement during the conveying process.
