Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of return line layout, and in particular relates to a superimposed return line layout structure. Background Art
[0002] Existing pressing processes / CCL processes / composite materials / glass substrates generally use traditional conveyor lines / logistics lines / directional trolleys to transport materials / carriers / products / tools. Existing conveyor lines / logistics lines generally include fixed equipment such as racks, which are then mounted on racks via conveyor belts to transport materials. This makes the overall structure of the entire transport line fixed, and the transport line occupies a large space in the workshop, which also means that the production line must be fixed to the position of the transport line, making the layout of the production equipment very limited and inflexible. The method of directly transporting materials to the production line via a conveyor belt is fixed and single. Once a device in the production line fails, the line generally needs to be stopped to handle the failure, which will affect the processing of materials between other production lines, making it impossible to handle flexibly and affecting production capacity.
[0003] Therefore, the existing transportation structure scheme needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art that the traditional conveyor line and the production line are connected through a single channel, resulting in a large layout space and inflexibility, and to provide a superimposed return line layout structure.
[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: a superimposed reflow line layout structure includes a plurality of work areas arranged in sequence, each work area is provided with a plurality of production lines, and the production lines in the same work area are arranged at intervals from each other; it also includes: a carrier, the carrier can move and is used to transport materials, the work area is preset with a plurality of placement positions, a plurality of carriers are in the placement positions, and the carriers are suitable for moving between work areas or between production lines.
[0006] Furthermore, each production line is provided with a number of processing stations, and some carriers are located close to the processing stations.
[0007] Furthermore, the carrier can move from below the production line or along the periphery of the production line.
[0008] Furthermore, the carrier can be transported on rails or without rails.
[0009] Furthermore, when the carrier is transported tracklessly, the carrier is an AGV.
[0010] Furthermore, the working area is also provided with a charging position, and the charging position is provided with a charging device, and the charging device is used to charge the AGV.
[0011] Furthermore, when the carrier is transported on rails, the carrier is an RGV; a moving track is provided between the production line and the work area, and the RGV is provided on the moving track.
[0012] The present invention provides a stacked reflow line layout structure that primarily relies on the movement of carriers between workspaces or production lines to transport materials, replacing the existing method of transporting materials via fixed-position transport lines. This eliminates the impact of carriers such as transport lines on the layout between workspaces and between production lines within a workspace, enabling flexible layout of each workspace and rational planning of the entire processing space. Furthermore, the freely moving carriers can change transport paths at any time. If a production line in a workspace malfunctions, the carriers can automatically select another production line for material transport based on production requirements. This allows for flexible material transfer, unaffected by the failure of a single production line, and ensures production capacity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 2The utility model discloses a stacking reflow line layout structure, comprising a plurality of sequentially arranged work areas 1, each of which is provided with a plurality of production lines 2, with the production lines 2 in the same work area 1 spaced apart from one another. For example, in a PCB lamination process, the plurality of work areas 1 may be automatic stacking areas, steel plate reflow areas, disassembly areas, etc., while the production lines 2 are corresponding processing lines within different work areas 1, such as the automatic stacking area, steel plate reflow area, disassembly area, etc., each performing a different functional action. To increase production efficiency, more than one processing line may be provided for each action.
[0020] This stacking and reflowing line layout also includes a movable carrier 3 used to transport materials. Workspace 1 is pre-configured with several placement positions, with several carriers 3 positioned there. The carriers 3 are suitable for movement between workspaces 1 or between production lines 2. For example, during the PCB lamination process, after the PCB material is processed in the automatic stacking area, it needs to enter the steel plate reflowing area for further processing, and so on, until the material passes through each processing area, completes the entire lamination process, and is unloaded. The loading and unloading of materials between different processing areas and different production lines 2 is accomplished by the carrier 3.
[0021] Each production line 2 is equipped with several processing stations, with some carriers 3 positioned near these stations. When each production line 2 receives incoming material or unloads material after processing, it connects to the carrier 3 through its respective processing station, allowing finished material from production line 2 to be smoothly transferred to the carrier 3, or materials waiting to be processed on the carrier 3 to be transferred to production line 2, thus meeting the production requirements of each production line 2.
[0022] Regarding the motion trajectory of carrier 3, carrier 3 can move from below or along the periphery of production line 2, offering greater flexibility and enabling the selection of the optimal transport route for material transport. This optimal route can be the shortest, or one that avoids obstacles. Carrier 3 can freely and flexibly select a transport path based on the specific layout of production line 2, flexibly transporting materials and adapting to most production requirements while maintaining compatibility and practicality. Traditional fixed-frame production lines, on the other hand, cannot move from below or around production line 2 and can only transport materials in a straight line with respect to production line 2. This single transport channel makes it unsuitable for most production requirements.
[0023] As for the movement mode of the carrier 3, the carrier 3 can be transported on rails or without rails.
[0024] When the carrier 3 is transported tracklessly, an AGV is preferred. Trackless AGVs offer greater reliability and efficiency. To accommodate the operational characteristics of trackless AGVs, workspace 1 is equipped with a charging station equipped with a charging device for charging the AGV. When the battery level of the trackless AGV is low, it automatically returns to the charging station and connects to the charging device for recharging.
[0025] When the carrier 3 is transported by rail, the carrier 3 may preferably be an RGV; a movable track is provided between the production line 2 and the work area 1, and the RGV is provided on the movable track. The rail RGV has a simpler structure and lower investment cost.
[0026] The specific trackless moving carrier 3 can be selected according to the workshop needs and production plan. The carrier 3 is not limited in this solution.
[0027] Each carrier 3 can be connected to the back-end intelligent management system through a signal module. Operators can use the intelligent management system to generate a layout map of the processing workshop. The workshop layout map may include the location of each processing area, the location of each production line 2 within each processing area 1, the location of each placement position, the location of each processing station, etc. When the carrier 3 is a trackless AGV, the workshop layout map should also include the location of each charging position. The intelligent management system transmits this position information to the corresponding carrier 3. The carrier 3 can automatically select the transportation path according to production requirements and automatically complete the material transportation, thereby improving the degree of automation and thus improving production efficiency. It is not affected by the location of the production line. Operators can flexibly layout the processing workshop according to production requirements and improve the space utilization of the workshop. On the other hand, when a production line 2 in a certain work area 1 fails, the operator can change the transportation path of the carrier 3 through the intelligent management system, automatically avoid the path corresponding to the damaged production line 2, and ensure the continuous operation of the entire processing workshop. This avoids the disadvantage of the rigid connection between the fixed-position conveyor line and the production line 2 in the existing technology that requires line shutdown processing. The transportation of materials is not affected by the failure of a single production line 2 due to the carrier 3, thereby ensuring the overall line production capacity of the workshop.
[0028] At the same time, based on actual production needs, temporary storage facilities 4, such as warehousing and line-side storage, can be added to the processing area 1. Operators can use the intelligent management system to add the location of the temporary storage facility 4 to the workshop layout map, thereby controlling the carrier 3 to circulate and transport materials between several production lines 2, between a production line 2 and a temporary storage facility 4, or between several temporary storage facilities 4. This transport circulatory system allows for flexible addition and subtraction of equipment within the workshop, adapting to the production requirements of a variety of materials and demonstrating high compatibility.
[0029] In summary, this transport loop primarily transports materials via freely movable carriers 3, flexibly connecting several production lines 2. This replaces the existing method of rigidly connecting fixed conveyor lines and production lines 2 via mechanical structures. This makes material transportation more flexible, and the material processing steps are not affected by the workshop structure and layout. This also makes the layout of the processing workshop more flexible, not limited to the production and processing of a single material, and has high compatibility. Furthermore, the carriers 3 can automatically select the transport path, so that material transportation will not be affected by the failure of a single production line 2, ensuring the continuous operation of the production line and thus guaranteeing production capacity.
[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
