Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of door and window profile production technology, and more specifically, to a kit material channel and kit material storage with a clearance structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of door and window profile manufacturing, the high degree of customization of doors and windows leads to a wide variety of door and window profiles. Existing technologies include numerous intelligent processing devices for processing door and window profiles to produce finished products. However, after obtaining the finished profiles, they need to be assembled to form a complete door or window. Due to the diversity of door and window types, door and window profiles also become diverse. A single initial profile often cannot be processed into a profile for a single door or window; that is, a single initial profile is often processed into door and window profiles for different doors and windows to ensure maximum material utilization. However, this method also results in a single initial profile producing door and window profiles for different doors and windows. In other words, multiple door and window profiles for different doors and windows are mixed together. Traditional manual operations require manual sorting, severely slowing down overall production efficiency.
[0003] With the development of technology, a complete set warehouse solution for door and window profiles has been proposed. A complete set warehouse refers to a storage space that provides a complete set of door and window profiles for a specific door or window. Specifically, the complete set warehouse is set up with different storage layers. Each storage layer is used to store a set of door and window profiles for a specific door or window. When assembly is required, all the complete door and window profiles for a specific door or window are taken out for subsequent assembly.
[0004] In response, the applicant previously filed three applications: application number 2025205871214, a scheme for a kitting silo with a lower material channel; application number 2025205871962, a scheme for a kitting silo with a box-type frame structure; and application number 2025205871178, a scheme for a kitting silo with combined material channels and a combined feeding channel. (Refer to the above.) Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a structural diagram of the kitting warehouse previously applied for by the applicant. A represents the storage bin for storing door and window profiles, B represents the forklift structure, and C represents the feeding channel. Specifically, the kitting warehouse includes a feeding channel for conveying door and window profile components. After the feeding channel conveys the door and window profile components to the designated position, the forklift structure of the kitting warehouse is pre-lowered into the interval area of the feeding channel rollers to lift them, thereby actuating the profile components. Alternatively, after the door and window profile components are conveyed to the designated position, the forklift structure inserts from the side into the interval area of the rollers and then lifts them, thereby actuating the profile components. The former method is usually used because it involves fewer movements and is more efficient. The applicant's technical solution proposes that the rollers on the feeding channel are connected to two synchronous belts via two transmissions, the purpose of which is to enable adjacent rollers to transmit power to each other, thereby achieving synchronous rotation and conveying.
[0005] However, the prior art still has some technical problems. Specifically, since the synchronous belt is used to connect adjacent rollers for power transmission, it is easy to cause interference between the synchronous belt and the fork arm structure. To avoid interference, the fork arm structure needs to be designed to be shorter so that it can be compatible with the method of "after the feeding channel transports the door and window profile components to the designated position, the fork arm structure of the kit is lowered into the interval area of the feeding channel rollers to lift them and drive the profile components to move". Otherwise, if the fork arm structure is too long and can span the entire feeding channel, it is easy to interfere with the synchronous belt during the lowering process. It should be noted that the diameter of the rollers on the feeding channel is usually not very large, and the transmission part is usually a ring structure with the same center as the roller. Therefore, the distance between the synchronous belt set on the transmission part and the upper surface of the roller is relatively small. This distance is usually not enough to accommodate the fork arm structure, so interference is likely to occur.
[0006] In other words, in the existing technical solutions described above, to avoid interference between the fork arm structure and the synchronous belt, the transmission structure containing the synchronous belt must be located on the side of the feeding channel away from the fork arm structure. On this basis, either when the fork arm structure is long, the horizontal position of the fork arm structure needs to be controlled to avoid interference with the synchronous belt on one side, that is, the fork arm structure must not cross the feeding channel. In this process, if the door and window profiles are deviated during the conveying process, for example, deviating to the side where the synchronous belt is located, in a more extreme case, we can imagine that part of the door and window profiles can protrude from the feeding channel and are set at an angle on the feeding channel. In this case, the fork arm structure will have difficulty driving the door and window profiles to move and achieve feeding. The setup may directly cause the door and window profiles to fall into the feeding channel, or due to the posture problem during the feeding process, the profiles may fall during the feeding process.
[0007] The above problems urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this application is to provide a material conveying channel and a material conveying silo with a clearance structure, which has the advantage of improving the stability of door and window profile conveying.
[0009] Firstly, this application provides a kitting chute with an obstacle avoidance structure, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0010] It includes a mounting frame, multiple rollers spaced apart on the mounting frame, and a transmission structure between the multiple rollers for transmitting power to each other;
[0011] A feeding station is provided in the area where the multiple rollers are located to accommodate the feeding fork arm of the kit. The feeding station spans the mounting frame. At least the transmission structure in the feeding station is recessed, so that the distance between the height of the transmission structure and the upper surface of the two adjacent rollers is not less than the thickness of the feeding fork arm.
[0012] Furthermore, in this application, the transmission structure is at least one of a synchronous belt, a transmission belt, a gear rack, and a chain.
[0013] Furthermore, in this application, the transmission structure is a synchronous belt or a conveyor belt, and the roller is provided with two first transmission parts for frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt.

[0015] Furthermore, in this application, two rollers are provided, and the two rollers are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the roller.
[0016] Furthermore, in this application, the two rollers are positioned horizontally on either side of the feeding station.

It has the advantages of avoiding interference between the transmission structure and the feeding fork arm, allowing the use of longer fork arms, and improving the stability and reliability of feeding.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a kitting chute with a clearance structure, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0030] The system includes a mounting frame 100, multiple rollers 200 spaced apart on the mounting frame 100, a transmission structure 300 between the multiple rollers 200 for transmitting power to each other, and a feeding station 400 in the area where the multiple rollers 200 are located for accommodating the feeding fork arms of the kit. The feeding station 400 spans the mounting frame 100, and at least the transmission structure 300 in the feeding station 400 is recessed, such that the distance between the height of the transmission structure 300 and the upper surface of the two adjacent rollers 200 is not less than the thickness of the feeding fork arms.
[0031] Among them, the transmission structure 300 refers to the component that connects multiple rollers 200 and is used to transmit power between them. It can be implemented by synchronous belt, conveyor belt, gear rack, chain, etc., and its main purpose is to realize the synchronous rotation and conveying of multiple rollers 200.
[0032] The feeding station 400 refers to a specific area within the area where multiple rollers 200 are located, used to accommodate the feeding fork arm of the kit. This area spans the mounting frame 100 and is mainly for providing operating space for the feeding fork arm.
[0033] The recessed design of the transmission structure 300 means that the transmission structure 300 located in the feeding station 400 is installed at a position or running trajectory lower than its normal height in the non-feeding station area. This is mainly to provide clearance space for the feeding fork arm.
[0034] The distance between the height position of the transmission structure 300 and the upper surface of the two adjacent rollers 200 is not less than the thickness of the feeding fork arm. This means that the vertical distance between the height position of the highest point of the transmission structure 300 located in the feeding station 400 and the line connecting the upper surface of the two adjacent rollers 200, after subtracting the vertical dimension of the transmission structure 300 itself, the remaining vertical space is not less than the thickness of the feeding fork arm. This is mainly to ensure that the feeding fork arm will not interfere with the transmission structure 300 when it passes through.
[0035] A feeding fork arm is an actuator used by a kit to lift or move door and window profile components.
[0036] The core innovation of this application lies in the fact that by setting the transmission structure 300 in the feeding station 400 area to be recessed and ensuring that the recessed height is sufficient to accommodate the thickness of the feeding fork arm, the problem of interference between the feeding fork arm and the transmission structure 300 when operating across the material channel is solved, making the feeding process more stable and reliable.
[0037] Specifically, the feed channel supports multiple spaced rollers 200 via a mounting frame 100. These rollers 200 are interconnected and transmit power through a transmission structure 300, achieving synchronous rotation to transport door and window profile components. Within the area occupied by the rollers 200, a feeding station 400 is provided. This station spans the mounting frame 100 and is the area where the feeding fork arm of the kit is lifted or moved. To prevent the feeding fork arm from colliding with the transmission structure 300 when entering or leaving the feeding station 400, the transmission structure 300 within the feeding station 400 is designed to be recessed. This recessed design ensures that the height of the transmission structure 300 is lower than the upper surfaces of the two adjacent rollers 200, and the remaining vertical space after subtracting the height of the transmission structure 300 itself from this height difference is not less than the thickness of the feeding fork arm.
[0038] Therefore, when the feeding fork enters the feeding station 400, it can pass over the recessed transmission structure 300. Even if the fork spans the entire material channel, it will not interfere with the transmission structure 300. This ensures that the feeding fork can smoothly lift or move the material. Even if the material has a certain deviation or tilt on the material channel, the feeding operation can be carried out effectively.
[0039] Furthermore, in this application, the transmission structure 300 is a synchronous belt or a conveyor belt, and the roller 200 is provided with two first transmission parts 210 for frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt. The two first transmission parts 210 are respectively used for transmission cooperation with the adjacent rollers 200 located on both sides.
[0040] The first transmission unit 210 refers to a structure disposed on the roller 200 for contacting and transmitting power with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt. This first transmission unit 210 can be integrally formed with the roller 200 body or it can be an attachment to the roller 200. Frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt means that power transmission is achieved through the friction between the contact surfaces. The two first transmission units 210, each used for transmission cooperation with adjacent rollers 200 on both sides, mean that each roller 200, through its two first transmission units 210, is connected to the synchronous belt or conveyor belt on both sides, thereby forming a transmission chain with the adjacent rollers 200. This arrangement allows each roller 200 to participate in the power transmission with its adjacent rollers 200 on both sides.
[0041] Specifically, each roller 200 is equipped with two first transmission parts 210, each of which engages with an adjacent roller 200 located on either side of the roller 200. When a roller 200 is driven to rotate, its first transmission part 210 makes frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt, driving the synchronous belt or conveyor belt to move. Since the synchronous belt or conveyor belt also contacts the first transmission parts 210 on the adjacent rollers 200, the movement of the synchronous belt or conveyor belt drives the first transmission parts 210 on the adjacent rollers 200 to rotate, thereby driving the adjacent rollers 200 to rotate. In this way, power can be transmitted between adjacent rollers 200 through the synchronous belt or conveyor belt and the first transmission parts 210 on the rollers 200, realizing the synchronous rotation of multiple rollers 200, thereby conveying materials. By providing two first transmission units 210 on each roller 200, each roller 200 can transmit power to two adjacent rollers 200 simultaneously. This design also helps to improve the synchronization of the transmission and reduce material conveying deviations caused by transmission errors.
[0042] Furthermore, in this application, the recessed transmission structure 300 includes a roller assembly, in which at least one roller 500 is rotatably disposed. The roller 500 is provided with two second transmission parts 510 for frictional contact with the timing belt or conveyor belt. The two second transmission parts 510 are respectively used for transmission cooperation with adjacent rollers 200 or rollers 500 located on both sides.
[0043] The recessed transmission structure 300 refers to a position where the transmission structure 300, either wholly or partially, is located below the upper surface of the adjacent roller 200. A roller assembly refers to a structural unit containing at least one roller 500, which can be supported and rotated using components such as brackets and bearings. A roller 500 refers to a rotatable cylindrical or disc-shaped component within the roller assembly, used to contact the synchronous belt or conveyor belt and transmit power. The second transmission part 510 refers to the portion disposed on the roller 500 for frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt; it can be the outer surface of the roller 500 itself, or a specific structure disposed on the outer surface of the roller 500.
[0044] This solution, based on the existing configuration of multiple rollers 200 and a recessed transmission structure 300, further implements the recessed transmission structure 300 as a roller assembly. The roller assembly is located in the feeding station 400 area between adjacent rollers 200 and is entirely recessed. The transmission structure 300 uses a synchronous belt or conveyor belt, which no longer directly contacts the transmission part on the rollers 200 but instead bypasses the rollers 500 within the roller assembly. The second transmission part 510 on the roller 500 makes frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt, and the movement of the synchronous belt or conveyor belt drives the roller 500 to rotate. The roller 500, through its second transmission part 510, engages with the first transmission parts 210 on the adjacent rollers 200 on both sides. For example, the synchronous belt or conveyor belt simultaneously contacts the second transmission part 510 on the roller 500 and the first transmission parts 210 on both rollers 200, allowing power to be transmitted and achieving synchronous rotation of the rollers 200. Because the roller assembly is recessed, the roller 500 and the timing belt or conveyor belt that passes over it are positioned much lower than the upper surface of the roller 200, creating a clearance space between the upper surface of the roller 200 and the transmission structure 300. This clearance space allows the feeding fork arm to pass through during its downward movement, preventing interference between the fork arm and the transmission structure 300. This method, while retaining the timing belt or conveyor belt transmission mechanism, achieves a complete recess of the transmission structure 300 by changing the contact method and position between the transmission structure 300 and the timing belt or conveyor belt. Combined with the requirement of a recessed design, this solves the fork arm interference problem.
[0045] Furthermore, in this application, two rollers 500 are provided, and the two rollers 500 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the roller 200.
[0046] Specifically, two rollers 500 are provided and spaced apart along the conveying direction of the roller 200. The purpose is to prevent the conveyor belt or timing belt from excessively encroaching on the space of the feeding station 400, thereby reducing the possibility of interference with the feeding fork arm.
[0047] Furthermore, in this application, the two rollers 500 are positioned horizontally on both sides of the feeding station 400.
[0048] Specifically, the feeding station 400 is the area that the feeding fork arm of the kit needs to enter, spanning the mounting frame 100. The transmission structure 300 (e.g., a timing belt or conveyor belt) transmits power via a roller assembly, and this transmission structure 300 is recessed so that its height is lower than the upper surface of the adjacent roller 200 by a certain distance, thereby providing vertical clearance space for the feeding fork arm. Based on this, this application positions two rollers 500 in the roller assembly horizontally on both sides of the feeding station 400. This means that when the feeding fork arm enters the feeding station 400, its main body is located within the area of the feeding station 400, while the rollers 500 are located on the left and right sides of this area, thus avoiding collision or interference between the feeding fork arm and the transmission structure 300.
[0049] This positioning, combined with the recessed design of the transmission structure 300, provides ample clearance for the feeding fork arm, ensuring it can smoothly enter the feeding station 400 and perform the feeding operation. Simultaneously, the rollers 500, located on both sides of the feeding station 400, still maintain frictional contact with the synchronous belt or conveyor belt, thus ensuring power transmission between adjacent rollers 200 and maintaining the normal conveying function of the feeding channel. In this way, the interference problem of the feeding fork arm that might be caused by improper roller 500 positioning is solved, improving the reliability and smoothness of the feeding process.
[0050] Furthermore, in this application, a roller mounting seat 600 is provided on the mounting frame 100 for raising the mounting height of the roller 200.
[0051] Among them, the roller mounting base 600 refers to the component set on the mounting frame 100 for fixing and supporting the roller 200, which can be implemented by means of block structure, L-shaped bracket structure, etc.
[0052] The roller mounting base 600 raises the installation height of the roller 200, increasing the space below the roller 200. This ensures that when the fork arm structure is lowered or inserted into the side of the feeding station 400, there is enough space to avoid the recessed transmission structure 300, thus preventing interference.
[0053] Furthermore, in this application, the mounting frame 100 is provided with a cutout 110 for serving as at least part of the feeding station 400, the cutout 110 spanning the mounting frame 100.
[0054] Cutout 110 refers to a through or recessed opening formed on the mounting frame 100, which can be formed by cutting, stamping, casting or welding.
[0055] "Spanning the mounting frame 100" means that the feeding station 400 or the cut 110 extends in the width direction of the mounting frame 100, such that the feeding station 400 or the cut 110 can pass through or cover at least a portion of the mounting frame 100.
[0056] The feed channel supports multiple rollers 200 and a transmission structure 300 via a mounting frame 100. The feeding station 400 is the spatial area that the feeding forks of the kit need to enter for lifting or placing profile components. To enable the feeding forks to enter and traverse the area where the mounting frame 100 is located, this application provides a cut 110 on the mounting frame 100, and this cut 110 serves as at least a part of the feeding station 400, while the cut 110 traverses the mounting frame 100. This cut 110 provides a spatial channel for the movement of the feeding forks, allowing the feeding forks to pass through the structural limitations of the mounting frame 100 and enter the feeding station 400 between the rollers 200.
[0057] Furthermore, in this application, at least two feeding stations 400 are provided.
[0058] Since the conveyed doors and windows have a certain length, the feeding fork arm is usually equipped with at least two support points. The support point is the part used to contact the door and window profile. The support point is usually represented by the overhanging fork arm. Therefore, the feeding station 400 is equipped with at least two to accommodate these overhanging fork arms.
[0059] Furthermore, this application also proposes a kitting silo, which is equipped with the aforementioned kitting silo channel with an obstacle avoidance structure.
[0060] By integrating the material handling channel with a clearance structure into the kit, this technical solution solves the problem of interference between the forklift structure and the material handling transmission structure 300 at the feeding station 400 in existing kits. Specifically, because the material handling channel provides clearance space for the forklift structure at the feeding station 400, the forklift structure can smoothly enter the material handling area to handle materials, avoiding collisions with transmission components. This allows the forklift structure of the kit to complete material picking and placing actions more stably and reliably, improving the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the kit. In addition, this design also allows the forklift structure to be designed to be longer, spanning the entire material handling channel, thereby better adapting to possible material deviation or tilting during the conveying process and reducing the risk of material falling or feeding failure.
[0061] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
