DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0040] It should be noted that when an element is referred to herein as being "fixed" to another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there is no intermediate element. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5A track switching device includes a track mechanism, the track mechanism includes a first track (not shown in the figure), a switching track 110 and a second track 120, the switching track 110 can be docked with the first track to enable a conveying device to move between the first track and the switching track 110, the second track 120 is arranged at an angle to the first track, the second track 120 is provided with a second moving frame 121, and the second moving frame 121 can move on the second track 120; and a rotating mechanism 200, the rotating mechanism 200 is arranged on the second moving frame 121, the switching track 110 is arranged on the rotating mechanism 200, and the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to rotate the switching track 110 to a preset position.

[0043] In the track switching device, when the conveying device moves from the first track to the switching track 110, the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to rotate the switching track 110 and disengage from the first track. After that, the second moving frame 121 moves on the second track 120, driving the switching track 110 and the conveying device thereon to move on the second track 120, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the conveying device from the first track to the second track 120 for transportation, without the need for manual switching or only single track movement, thereby reducing labor costs and production costs.

[0044] The conveying device is used to convey materials, and is provided with a structure for slidingly cooperating with the first track and the switching track 110, so that the conveying device can move on the first track and can move to the switching track 110, that is, the conveying device can move freely between the first track and the switching track 110 to convey materials along the length direction of the first track;

[0045] The second track 120 is arranged at an angle with the first track (e.g., it can be arranged in a vertical direction), and the second moving frame 121 can move on the second track 120. When the conveying device moves to a preset position on the switching track 110, the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to disengage the switching track 110 from the first track. Of course, the position of the conveying device is also made to correspond to the length direction of the second track 120, that is, the position or orientation of the conveying device is kept corresponding to the moving direction of the second moving frame 121 on the second track 120.

[0046] The rotating mechanism 200 is arranged on the second moving frame 121, and the switching track 110 is fixed on the rotating mechanism 200. Therefore, when the second moving frame 121 moves on the second track 120, the second moving frame 121 drives the switching track 110 thereon to move along the length direction of the second track 120, and then the conveying device on the switching track 110 also moves along the length direction of the second track 120 with the second moving frame 121, so as to achieve the technical effect that the conveying device switches from conveying materials in the length direction of the first track to conveying materials in the length direction of the second track 120.

[0047] When it is necessary to dock the switching track 110 with the first track, the second moving frame 121 is moved to a set position on the second track 120, and then the rotating mechanism 200 is rotated to make the switching track 110 correspond to the first track and dock. After the docking is completed, the conveying device can be moved from the switching track 110 to the first track and further moved on the first track, which will not be repeated;

[0048] During specific implementation, the track switching device may also be provided with a control system (which may be an independent control module provided for the track switching device, or may be a part of a control module connected to other control systems such as the control system of a material conveying system). The rotation of the rotating mechanism 200, the movement of the conveying device and the movement of the second mobile frame 121 are all controlled by the control system and will not be elaborated herein.

[0049] It should be noted that the movement of the conveying device on the first track and the switching track 110, and the movement of the second mobile frame 121 on the second track 120, can adopt any existing implementation method; the rotation of the rotating mechanism 200 can also adopt any existing implementation method. Technical personnel in this field can select according to actual needs, as long as the expected functions and expected effects referred to in this application can be achieved, and no further details will be given.

[0050] In addition, the meaning of track switching in the present application refers to the conveying device switching from moving in the length direction of the first track to moving in the length direction of the second track 120, that is, the conveying device moves along the length direction of the first track on the first track, and after moving to the switching track 110, the second moving frame 121 moves on the second track 120, which drives the conveying device to move on the second track 120, and the technical effect equivalent to the conveying device switching to move on the second track 120 is achieved, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating mechanism 200 includes a rotating turntable (not shown in the figure) and a rotating driver 220. The rotating turntable is rotatably connected to the second mobile frame 121. The switching track 110 is arranged on the rotating turntable. The rotating driver 220 is arranged on the second mobile frame 121 and is used to drive the rotating turntable to rotate.

[0052] The rotating turntable is installed on the second mobile frame 121 and can rotate on the second mobile frame 121. The rotating driver 220 is fixed on the second mobile frame 121 and is used to drive the rotating turntable to rotate. The switching track 110 is arranged on the rotating turntable. When the rotating turntable rotates, it drives the switching track 110 to rotate, thereby realizing the separation of the switching track 110 from the first track.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4A support frame 1213 is provided in the middle of the second movable frame 121, and the rotating mechanism 200 includes an installation box, and the rotating turntable is installed in the installation box and can rotate in the installation box. The switching track 110 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating turntable, and a fixed plate 230 is provided on the upper part of the installation box. The fixed plate 230 can be fixed on the support frame 1213 by bolts or other installation methods. The driving part of the rotating driver 220 cooperates with the rotating turntable to drive the rotating turntable to rotate.

[0054] Further, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the rotary driver 220 and the rotary turntable are worm gear structures, and the rotary driver 220 is equivalent to the worm, thereby driving the turbine (equivalent to the rotary turntable) to rotate in the horizontal direction, thereby rotating the switching track 110 on the rotary turntable.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A fixed plate 211 is provided on the rotating turntable, and a movable plate 111 is provided on the switching track 110. The movable plate 111 can move along the length direction of the switching track 110 on the fixed plate 211. The switching track 110 is also provided with an adjusting driver 112 for driving the movable plate 111 to move.

[0056] When the switching track 110 is separated from or docked with the first track, collision may occur due to direct docking, especially when cumulative motion errors are generated, which is very likely to cause safety accidents. Therefore, the movable plate 111 can move along the fixed plate 211 in the length direction of the switching track 110 to solve this problem, as follows:

[0057] When the switching track 110 is separated from the first track, the adjusting driver 112 drives the movable plate 111 to move along the fixed plate 211 in the length direction of the switching track 110, so that the switching track 110 is separated from the first track and has a certain distance, and then the rotating mechanism 200 is rotated to avoid the switching track 110 rotating before being completely separated from the first track, thereby avoiding safety accidents;

[0058] When the switching track 110 is docked with the first track, the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to make the length direction of the switching track 110 consistent with the length direction of the first track; at this time, there is still a certain distance between the switching track 110 and the first track. By adjusting the driver 112 to drive the movable plate 111 to move along the fixed plate 211 in the length direction of the switching track 110, the switching track 110 is brought close to the first track and docked, thereby completing the docking operation and avoiding accidents such as collisions caused by direct docking due to mismatched positions after rotation.

[0059] The fixed plate 211 is fixed on the rotating turntable, and the movable plate 111 is fixed on the switching track 110 . Therefore, the movement of the movable plate 111 relative to the fixed plate 211 is also the movement of the switching track 110 , which will not be described in detail.

[0060] It should be noted that the movable plate 111 can be moved relative to the fixed plate 211 under the driving action of the adjustment driver 112 in any feasible manner, such as by the combination of a screw nut and a guide rail, or by the combination of a slider and a guide rail, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 The fixed plate 211 is provided with a first slider 2111, the movable plate 111 is provided with a first slide rail 1111, the first slide rail 1111 and the first slider 2111 are slidably matched, and the first slider 2111 is provided with a first limiting portion, the first slide rail 1111 is provided with a second limiting portion, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are limitedly matched, the adjusting driver 112 is a telescopic driver fixedly mounted on the switching track 110, and one end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic driver is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 211.

[0062] The adjustment driver 112 is a telescopic driver, the mounting end of which is fixed on the switching track 110, and the extended end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic driver is fixed on the fixing plate 211 (the specific setting can be realized by setting an intermediate connecting rod, etc., such as Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first slider 2111 is fixed on the fixed plate 211, and the first slide rail 1111 is fixed on the movable plate 111. When the adjusting driver 112 is telescopically driven, the fixed plate 211 cannot be pushed further. Under the reaction force of the fixed plate 211, the mounting end of the adjusting driver 112 moves backward or forward, thereby driving the first slide on the movable plate 111 to cooperate with the first slider 2111 to slide, thereby realizing the movement of the switching track 110. The description is omitted.

[0063] The first limiting portion may be a limiting protrusion provided on the inner side wall of the slide groove of the first slider 2111, and the second limiting portion may be a limiting groove provided on the outer side wall of the slide rail of the first slide rail 1111, and the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion are engaged and can slide. Since the switching track 110 cooperates with the first slider 2111 on the rotating mechanism 200 through the first slide rail 1111 thereon, at this time, the first slider 2111 plays the role of supporting the switching track 110, and therefore, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion play the role of limiting support.

[0064] In addition, since the load of the first slider 2111 on the switching track 110 is relatively large, in order to improve the load capacity, a plurality of first sliders 2111 may be provided to share the load force and improve the load capacity.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 The track switching device also includes a positioning mechanism, which includes a first positioner. The first positioner includes a first trigger member 311 and a second trigger member 312. The first trigger member 311 is arranged on the switching track 110, and the second trigger member 312 is used to be arranged on the conveying device to cooperate with the first trigger member 311 for triggering.

[0066] Before the switching track 110 is separated from the first track, it is necessary to ensure that the conveying device has reached the switching track 110, or to ensure that the conveying device has reached the preset position on the switching track 110. Therefore, a first positioner is set to determine that the conveying device has reached the preset position so as to perform the subsequent track separation operation.

[0067] The first locator can be any structural component that can realize position determination, such as the trigger structure in this embodiment. When the conveying device moves to a certain position on the switching track 110, the second trigger component 312 and the first trigger component 311 are triggered and coordinated, thereby sending a trigger signal and indicating that it is in place.

[0068] Of course, the first trigger member 311 and the second trigger member 312 can also be multiple trigger components arranged in pairs, and the trigger components cooperate to form a preset digital code. The digital code forms a signal of whether it is in place and prompts whether it is in place, which will not be repeated.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3 The positioning mechanism also includes a second positioner, which includes a first telescopic rod 321 and a first positioning cylinder 322. The first telescopic rod 321 is telescopically arranged on the switching track 110, and the first positioning cylinder 322 is used to be arranged on the conveying device and enable one end of the first telescopic rod 321 to extend into the first positioning cylinder 322.

[0070] When the switching track 110 is disengaged from the first track, although the conveying device stays on the switching track 110, the conveying device and the switching track 110 are not relatively fixed, that is, the conveying device may still move on the switching track 110, such as slipping, offsetting, etc. In this case, it is not conducive to determining the position of the conveying device, and thus the position of the conveying device cannot be accurately controlled. Therefore, a second positioner is provided. When the conveying device moves to the preset position of the switching track 110, one end of the first telescopic rod 321 extends into the first positioning cylinder 322. Since the first positioning cylinder 322 is fixed on the conveying device and the first telescopic rod 321 is fixed on the switching track 110, the relative position between the conveying device and the switching track 110 is limited, so that the conveying device cannot move further on the switching track 110.

[0071] Furthermore, a telescopic motor is provided on the switching track 110, and the telescopic motor drives the first telescopic rod 321 to be telescopic. When the conveying device moves to the preset position of the switching track 110, the telescopic motor drives the first telescopic rod 321 to move, and one end of the first telescopic rod 321 is extended into the first positioning tube 322; and when the conveying device needs to move on the switching track 110 and the first track, the telescopic motor drives the first telescopic rod 321 to move, and one end of the first telescopic rod 321 leaves the first positioning tube 322, which will not be repeated.

[0072] It should be noted that the inner diameter of the first positioning cylinder 322 should not be less than the rod diameter of the first telescopic rod 321 . If necessary, the rod diameter of the first telescopic rod 321 can be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the first positioning cylinder 322 .

[0073] In addition, in order to facilitate the first telescopic rod 321 to extend into the first positioning tube 322 , one end of the first telescopic rod 321 may be configured as a tapered structure so as to smoothly extend into the first positioning tube 322 .

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 The second moving frame 121 is provided with a second roller 1211 and a second driver 1212 . The second roller 1211 cooperates with the second track 120 and can move along the second track 120 . The second driver 1212 is used to drive the second roller 1211 to rotate.

[0075] The second roller 1211 can slide along the second track 120. The roller frame of the second roller 1211 is fixed on the second movable frame 121. There are multiple second rollers 1211. The second driver 1212 is provided with at least one and drives at least one second roller 1211 to rotate, so that the second roller 1211 moves along the length direction of the second track 120, thereby driving the second movable frame 121 to move on the second track 120.

[0076] The configuration of the first track and the conveying roller 421 on the conveying device is the same as that of the second track 120 and the second roller 1211 , and will not be described in detail.

[0077] The first track, the second track 120 and the switching track 110 are all truss beam structures, and track grooves are provided thereon so that the corresponding rollers can cooperate with the track grooves. Those skilled in the art can adopt any existing roller and track cooperation method to form a structure for moving the trolley and the track, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5, a material conveying system, comprising a track switching device as described in any of the above embodiments; and a conveying device, the conveying device comprising a conveying frame 410 and a moving mechanism 420 arranged on the conveying frame 410, and the moving mechanism 420 can move between a first track and a switching track 110.

[0079] In the material conveying system, the conveying device is switched from the first track to the second track 120 through the track switching device, thereby achieving the technical effect of transferring the material on the conveying device between the first track and the second track 120, saving labor costs.

[0080] The conveying frame 410 is used to place or accommodate the transported materials. The moving mechanism 420 is arranged on the conveying frame 410. The moving mechanism 420 can move between the first track and the switching track 110, so as to realize the material transportation in the length direction of the first track; when the switching track 110 moves along the second track 120 on the second moving frame 121, the switching track 110 drives the conveying device thereon to move in the length direction of the second track 120, so as to realize the material transportation in the length direction of the second track 120.

[0081] The movable cooperation between the mobile mechanism 420 and the first track and the switching track 110 can be set in any existing manner, such as the cooperation between the second mobile frame 121 and the second track 120. As long as the functions of the mobile mechanism 420 being able to move on the first track, on the switching track 110, and from the first track to the switching track 110 can be met, it will not be repeated.

[0082] Figure 5 In the figure, the conveying frame 410 conveys the yarn frame 510, and a certain number of yarn tubes 520 can be placed on the yarn frame 510 as needed. The material conveying system can be applied to textile production and processing systems such as warping, yarn loading, and yarn feeding to improve production efficiency, reduce the use of operators, and reduce labor costs.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The moving mechanism 420 includes a conveying roller 421 and a conveying driver 422. The conveying roller 421 is disposed on the conveying frame 410 and can move in coordination with the first track or the second track 120. The conveying driver 422 is disposed on the conveying frame 410 and is used to drive the conveying roller 421 to move on the first track or the second track 120.

[0084] The configuration of the conveying roller 421 and the conveying driver 422 is the same as that of the second roller 1211 and the second driver 1212 , and will not be described in detail herein.

[0085] As required, a plurality of conveying rollers 421 are provided and are spaced apart from each other on the conveying frame 410. A plurality of conveying rollers 421 are provided and are used to bear the gravity of the conveying frame 410 and the gravity of the materials, and will not be described in detail.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The conveying frame 410 is a door-type frame structure. The second trigger member 312 and the first positioning cylinder 322 are both fixed on the conveying frame 410 . A plurality of conveying rollers 421 are provided, and roller mounting seats of the conveying rollers 421 are fixed on the conveying frame 410 .

[0087] This embodiment also provides a track switching method, which can be applied to the track switching device described in any of the above embodiments. The track switching method includes the following steps:

[0088] (S1), the conveying device moves on the first track and moves to the switching track 110;

[0089] (S2), the rotating mechanism 200 rotates and drives the switching track 110 to rotate, so that the switching track 110 rotates to a preset position;

[0090] (S3), the second moving frame 121 moves on the second track 120 and drives the conveying device to move.

[0091] The track switching method provides a switching method that can be applied to the aforementioned track switching device to perform specific track switching.

[0092] Further, step (S2) comprises the following steps:

[0093] (S21), the telescopic driver drives the switching track 110 to move from the first docking position to the first preset position, so that the switching track 110 is separated from the first track;

[0094] ( S22 ), the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to rotate the switching track 110 to a preset position, which is a second preset position.

[0095] In the specific embodiment, after the switching track 110 rotates, as the second mobile frame 121 moves on the second track 120, after the material is transferred, it needs to return. When returning, it needs to re-dock with the first track, that is, after step (S3), it also includes:

[0096] (S4), the second moving frame 121 moves on the second track 120, and returns the switching track 110 to the second preset position;

[0097] (S5), the rotating mechanism 200 rotates to rotate the switching track 110 from the second preset position to the first preset position;

[0098] (S6) The telescopic driver drives the switching track 110 to move from the first preset position to the first docking position, so that the switching track 110 is docked with the first track.

[0099] In addition, after step ( S1 ) and before step ( S2 ), the method further includes: one end of the first telescopic rod 321 extends into the first positioning tube 322 .

[0100] The purpose of such a configuration is to fix the position between the conveying device and the switching track 110 before the rotating mechanism 200 rotates, so as to avoid the conveying device moving on the switching track 110 to affect the position accuracy and prevent unexpected safety accidents.

[0101] Of course, in a specific implementation, it can be: after step (S21) and before step (S22), one end of the first telescopic rod 321 is extended into the first positioning tube 322. At this time, the second trigger member 312 is also triggered and cooperated with the first trigger member 311, so that the surface conveying device has been moved into position on the switching track 110, and subsequent rotation operations can be performed, which will not be repeated.

[0102] Of course, after the switching track 110 returns, before re-docking with the first track, the first telescopic rod 321 needs to be removed from the first positioning tube 322 to avoid affecting the subsequent docking operation. Those skilled in the art can easily know this problem and will not be further elaborated here.

[0103] It should be noted that the adjustment driver 112, the second driver 1212, the rotation driver 220 and the conveying driver 422 mentioned in the present embodiment can select corresponding drive devices as needed, such as motor drive, hydraulic drive, pneumatic drive, etc., can be direct rotation drive, indirect rotation drive, direct telescopic drive, converting rotation into telescopic drive, etc. During use, reducers, flanges, bearings, etc. can be set as needed to meet actual installation and assembly needs, which will not be repeated here.

[0104] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0105] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention, that is, the present invention is not limited to the structure shown in the figure, and can be further designed, improved and applied on the basis of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
