However, it cannot meet the needs of conveying large items or it is difficult to expand the capacity of a single workstation. Even if the protective plates are removed in time, the synchronization of the two conveying mechanisms cannot be guaranteed, which needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1~Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The synchronous and asynchronous intelligent switching bidirectional production line with partition shown in the figure includes: a controller 7, a bracket 9, a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2 and an isolation mechanism. A display 6 can be installed above the end of the bracket 9 to display the operation information, which is convenient for the operator and the manager to observe. An electric control box 8 is installed at one end of the bracket 9, and the controller 7 is installed on the electric control box 8. The controller 7 can adopt a PLC controller or a single-chip microcomputer, and is connected to a touch screen 16 to facilitate the control of each operating component. The controller 7 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 respectively for operation control, so as to realize the operation control of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 in the same direction, reverse direction, single, synchronous and other modes.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are arranged in parallel on a bracket 9, and a guard plate 10 is arranged around the bracket 9 to protect the outer sides of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 to prevent objects from falling.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 respectively include a conveyor belt 13, an active roller 11 and a passive roller 12, the active roller 11 and the passive roller 12 are arranged on the bracket 9 at intervals along the length direction of the bracket, and the bracket 9 is equipped with a fixing seat corresponding to the active roller 11 and the passive roller 12, which is convenient for installing and adjusting the active roller 11 and the passive roller 12, and for tensioning the conveyor belt 13. The conveyor belt 13 is arranged on the active roller 11 and the passive roller 12 to form a closed loop structure, and the bracket 9 is provided with a smooth strip 15 located below the conveyor belt 13 to provide rolling support for the conveyor belt 13 and improve the running stability of the conveyor belt 13.

[0024] There are two ways to drive the conveyor belt 13:

[0025] The first type is that the active roller 11 is an electric roller, and the controller 7 is connected to the electric roller through a frequency converter 17 for rotation control, and has a small size;

[0026] The second type, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 also include a first motor, the first motor is directly connected to the active roller 11 or indirectly connected to the active roller 11 through a gear set to drive the active roller 11, and the controller 7 is connected to the first motor through a frequency converter for rotation control, and the maintenance cost is low.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 13 is provided with transverse baffles 3 at intervals, and two adjacent baffles 3 form an article placement position on the conveyor belt 13 (the length can be set to 60 cm), so that multiple articles on the conveyor belt 13 do not affect each other, which is convenient for operators to process their respective workstations on both sides. The operation rhythm of the conveyor belt 13 can be flexibly set, for example, it moves forward one workstation every 50 seconds, and the operator puts it back on the conveyor belt 13 after completing his own process to continue the flow.

[0028] The isolation mechanism includes a third conveying mechanism and a longitudinal partition 5. The third conveying mechanism is arranged in the bracket 9 and is located in the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 or below the gap, and occupies a small space. The partition 5 is arranged in a part of the third conveying mechanism. The partition 5 switches between extending to the gap above the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 and hiding in the gap as the third conveying mechanism operates. The partition 5 is usually located above the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, so as to realize the isolation of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 on both sides without affecting each other, and facilitates the same direction or reverse operation of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism, which is more flexible.

[0029] When the processed items are large, the first conveying mechanism 1 or the second conveying mechanism 2 cannot complete the conveying task, and the capacity of a single conveying mechanism needs to be expanded. At this time, the partition 5 is hidden in the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 by the operation of the third conveying mechanism, so that the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are combined into one and can operate synchronously. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the synchronization of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0030] The bracket 9 is provided with a position sensor 14 for monitoring the baffle 3. Figure 2 As shown, the position sensor 14 is located on both sides below the conveyor belt 13 to monitor the passing baffle 3. The position sensor 14 is connected to the controller 7 to send signals. Each time the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 act intermittently, the position sensor 14 will monitor the baffle 3. When the baffle 3 on the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 deviates, the stroke of the next action is adjusted to realize the intelligent synchronization of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0031] The third conveying mechanism includes a second motor, a chain, a driving sprocket and a passive sprocket. The driving sprocket and the passive sprocket are arranged on the bracket 9 at intervals along the length direction of the bracket 9 and are located between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The chain, the driving sprocket and the passive sprocket are small in size and occupy a small installation space. The second motor is directly or indirectly connected to the driving sprocket for driving, and the chain is arranged on the driving sprocket and the passive sprocket to form a closed loop, which has good applicability to the length of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The partition 5 is arranged on a section of the chain, that is, a section of the chain is equipped with a partition 5, and the rest of the chain is not equipped with a partition. With the operation of the chain, the partition 5 can be moved upward and located above the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 to isolate the items on both sides, or it can be moved to the bottom of the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 to hide it. The bracket 9 can be installed with two sealing strips or wool strips at the top of the gap between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 along the length direction to cover the gap, which can prevent items from falling into the gap without affecting the flipping out and hiding of the partition 5.

[0032] There are two ways to control the second motor:

[0033] The first one is that the controller 7 is connected to the second motor for rotation control, and the control is performed by the controller 7, which is flexible in operation;

[0034] The second method is to add a motor switch 4 to the electric control box 8, and the motor switch 4 is connected to the second motor for rotation control. The second motor is not used frequently and does not require intelligent control. It can be manually controlled by the motor switch 4, and the maintenance cost is low.

[0035] In summary, the present invention points out a synchronous-asynchronous intelligent switching bidirectional production line containing a partition, which realizes the same-direction, reverse, synchronous and asynchronous control and intelligent switching of the two conveying mechanisms through the separate control of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, greatly meeting the needs of various processing tasks, and can also hide the partition through the isolation mechanism when the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are expanded synchronously, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
