Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The docking system 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present application is used for transferring the material 108 in the production line, and includes the first device 101, the second device 102 and the transfer part 103. The first device 101 is provided with multiple first material transfer parts 104. The second device 102 is provided with at least one second material transfer part 105. The transfer part 103 is arranged behind the first device 101, and the second device 102 can be docked with the transfer part 103. The transfer part 103 has a third material transfer part 106 and a transfer driving part 107. The transfer driving part 107 can drive the third material transfer part 106 to be docked with the first material transfer part 104, so as to transfer the material 108 between the third material transfer part 106 and the first material transfer part 104. When the second device 102 is docked with the transfer part 103, the transfer driving part 107 drives the third material transfer part 106 to be docked with the second material transfer part 105, so as to transfer the material 108 between the third material transfer part 106 and the second material transfer part 105.

[0028] In the present embodiment, by arranging the transfer part 103, when there are multiple first material transfer parts 104 in the first device 101, the number of second material transfer parts 105 of the second device 102 docked with the first device 101 can be reduced, so as to reduce the cost of the second device 102, and further reduce the cost of the production line.

[0029] It can be understood that the docking of the second device 102 and the transfer part 103 covers the whole process from the beginning of the docking to the completion of the docking, which includes any one of the following stages: the trend of starting the docking, the docking, the completion of the docking and the stable docking state after the completion of the docking. In any one of the stages, the transfer driving part 107 can drive the third material transfer part 106 to be docked with the second material transfer part 105 as needed.

[0030] It is conceivable that the material 108 should be understood in a broad sense, and the material 108 can be listed, for example, workpieces, products, and the like that need to be processed, which can be directly placed on the second device 102 or loaded by a jig, a fixture, a tray, and the like and then placed on the second device 102.

[0031] It is conceivable that the first device 101, as long as it has an independent power system, is not particularly limited, for example, it can be an independent device fixed to the ground, an independent device with a flow line, a flow line, an elevator, and the like. The first device 101 can perform any one of the processes in the production process of workpieces, products, and the like, such as machining, welding, component assembly, coating, detection, and the like; it can also perform auxiliary processes in the production process of workpieces, products, and the like, such as downtime processing, manual intervention, waste processing, temporary storage, and the like. In addition, the first device 101 can also be a device that can be transported, as long as it can be docked when the material 108 needs to be transferred between the first device 101 and the second device 102.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first device 101 includes a plurality of layers of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the up-down direction, and / or a plurality of rows of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the left-right direction. Specifically, the first device 101 can include a plurality of layers of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the up-down direction, and the first device 101 can also include a plurality of rows of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the left-right direction. In addition, the first device 101 can also include a plurality of layers of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the up-down direction and a plurality of rows of first material transfer portions 104 arranged in the left-right direction.

[0033] The second device 102 can be an independent device fixed to the ground like the first device 101, or it can be a device that can be freely transported within the workshop, such as a material rack and the like. When the second device 102 is a material rack that can be freely transported, the material rack can be freely transported by an operator or can be transported by a transport device (not shown). As a transport device, as long as it can transport the material rack (second device 102), the form of the transport device is not particularly limited, and can be listed, for example, an AGV vehicle, various mechanical hands such as a three-axis mechanical hand, a six-axis robot, and the like erected on a walking track, a transport device having an independent power roller line, a plate chain conveying line, and the like.

[0034] In the following embodiments, the second device 102 is exemplified by a device capable of being freely moved within the plant, such as a material rack. Specifically, the material rack as the second device 102 can be any form of material rack as long as it is capable of carrying the material 108 and is moved by the moving device. From the perspective of material, examples can include a rack welded using a profile, a rack built using an aluminum profile, or a rack combining a profile and an aluminum profile, etc. From the perspective of structure, examples can include a rack with supporting feet, a rack with universal casters, or a rack with both feet and universal casters, etc.

[0035] In addition, from the perspective of storage space, the second device 102 can exemplify a rack capable of carrying the material 108 in a single layer, a rack capable of carrying the material 108 in multiple layers in the up-down direction, a rack capable of carrying the material 108 in multiple layers in the left-right direction, and a rack capable of carrying the material 108 in multiple layers in both the up-down direction and the left-right direction, etc.

[0036] In the present application, since the transfer section 103 is provided behind the first device 101, the material rack as the second device 102 can be provided with only one layer of the second material transfer section 105. Alternatively, when the first device 101 is provided with the first material transfer section 104 in multiple layers in the up-down direction and in multiple rows in the left-right direction, the second device 102 can not need to be provided with the second material transfer section 105 in multiple layers in the up-down direction and in multiple rows in the left-right direction, but can be provided with only one layer of the second material transfer section 105, or the second material transfer section 105 in multiple layers in the up-down direction, or the second material transfer section 105 in multiple rows in the left-right direction.

[0037] In some embodiments, in order to be able to smoothly and continuously transfer the material 108, the first material transfer section 104 includes a first material flow line 111. The first material flow line 111 can be various known material flow lines having a driving system such as a motor, for example, a belt line, a synchronous belt line, a roller line, a conveying chain line, a flat plate chain line, a multiple-speed chain line, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0038] In some embodiments, the transfer driving section 107 is configured to drive the third material transfer section 106 in the up-down direction and / or in the left-right direction. Specifically, when the first device 101 includes only the first material transfer section 104 in multiple layers in the up-down direction, the transfer driving section 107 can be configured to drive the third material transfer section 106 only in the up-down direction. When the first device 101 includes only the first material transfer section 104 in multiple rows in the left-right direction, the transfer driving section 107 can be configured to drive the third material transfer section 106 only in the left-right direction. When the first device 101 includes both the first material transfer section 104 in multiple layers in the up-down direction and the first material transfer section 104 in multiple rows in the left-right direction, the transfer driving section 107 can be configured to drive the third material transfer section 106 in both the up-down direction and the left-right direction.

[0039] Specifically, the back of the first device 101 is provided with a transfer frame 109, and the transfer frame 109 is connected with the gantry 110 of the first device 101. The transfer part 103 is installed on the transfer frame 109, and the transfer driving part 107 of the transfer part 103 can select a mechanical hand, and the mechanical hand is installed on the transfer frame 109, and the mechanical hand can be, for example, a mechanical hand driven by a motor or a pneumatic cylinder. In addition, the transfer driving part 107 can select a single-axis mechanical hand (corresponding to a multi-layer first material transfer part 104 arranged only in the up-down direction, or a multi-row first material transfer part 104 arranged in the left-right direction) as needed. The transfer driving part 107 can also be provided as a double-axis mechanical hand (corresponding to a multi-layer first material transfer part 104 arranged in the up-down direction and a multi-row first material transfer part 104 arranged in the left-right direction).

[0040] The third material transfer part 106 is installed on the mechanical hand as the transfer driving part 107, in order to be able to stably and continuously convey the material 108, and easily dock with the first material transfer part 104. The third material transfer part 106 includes a third material flow line 112. The third material flow line 112 can be various known material flow lines with a driving system such as a motor, for example, such as a belt line, a synchronous belt line, a roller line, a conveying chain line, a flat plate chain line, a speed multiplier chain line, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0041] Figure 4 is Figure 3 a partial enlarged view of A in Figure 4 and with reference to Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to further reduce the cost of the second device 102, no power for driving the second material transfer part 105 is provided on the second device 102. Correspondingly, a power docking device 113 is provided at the back of the transfer part 103, and according to the docking of the second device 102 and the transfer part 103, the power docking device 113 docks with and drives the second material transfer part 105. Specifically, the second material transfer part 105 includes a second material flow line 114 that can dock with the third material flow line 112. The second material flow line 114 can be various known material flow lines without an independent driving system, such as a belt line, a synchronous belt line, a roller line, a conveying chain line, a flat plate chain line, a speed multiplier chain line, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] The power docking device 113 is arranged on the transfer frame 109, and according to the docking of the second equipment 102 and the transfer part 103, the power docking device 113 and the second material transfer part 105 are docked, thereby driving the second material flow line 114 to operate as the driving power of the second material flow line 114. In the embodiment, since the power docking device 113 can serve as the driving power of the second material transfer part 105 on each carried second equipment 102, it is not necessary to separately arrange an independent driving power on the second equipment 102, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the second equipment 102, and further greatly reducing the cost of the production line.

[0043] In some embodiments, the power docking device 113 comprises a rotary driving part 115 and a first engaging part 116, the rotary driving part 115 drives the first engaging part 116 to rotate. The second material transfer part 105 is arranged with a second engaging part 117, and according to the docking of the second equipment 102 and the transfer part 103, the second engaging part 117 and the first engaging part 116 are docked to enable the rotary driving part 115 to drive the second material transfer part 105.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rotary driving part 115 can select, for example, a motor, the first engaging part 116 comprises a first gear 118, the motor as the rotary driving part 115 and the first gear 118 as the first engaging part 116 are connected and drive the first gear 118 to rotate. One end of the second material flow line 114 of the second material transfer part 105 is arranged with a first transmission shaft 119, the first transmission shaft 119 directly supports and drives the second material flow line 114. The second engaging part 117 comprises a second gear 120, the second engaging part 117 and the first transmission shaft 119 are connected. When the second equipment 102 and the transfer part 103 are docked, the second gear 120 as the second engaging part 117 and the first gear 118 as the first engaging part 116 are engaged, thereby the rotary driving part 115 can drive the second material transfer part 105 through the gear transmission mechanism composed of the first gear 118 and the second gear 120.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the first gear 118 and the second gear 120 from engaging inaccurately when the second device 102 and the transfer station 103 are docked, the power docking device 113 can further comprise a docking driving part 121, which is connected with the rotating driving part 115 and drives the rotating driving part 115 and the first engaging part 116 to extend or retract relative to the second material transfer part 105, so as to engage or disengage the first gear 118 and the second gear 120. Specifically, the docking driving part 121 can be a cylinder or a motor. After the second device 102 and the transfer station 103 are docked, the docking driving part 121 drives the motor of the rotating driving part 115 and the first gear 118 of the first engaging part 116 to extend relative to the second gear 120 of the second material transfer part 105, so as to engage the first gear 118 and the second gear 120, improve the engagement accuracy of the first gear 118 and the second gear 120, and prevent the first gear 118 and the second gear 120 from colliding violently.

[0046] Figure 5 is a schematic view of the rear view direction when the fastening device 122 is in the first position ST, Figure 6 is a schematic view of the rear view direction when the fastening device 122 is in the second position ND. With reference to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and with reference to Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to improve the docking stability of the second device 102 and the transfer station 103, a fastening device 122 is further included, which is arranged at the back of the transfer station 103 and fastens the second device 102 according to the docking of the second device 102 and the transfer station 103. Specifically, the fastening device 122 is also arranged on the transfer stand 109, and when the power docking device 113 is arranged on the transfer stand 109, the fastening device 122 is located at the back of the power docking device 113. By arranging the fastening device 122 that fastens the second device 102, it can be ensured that the second device 102 is fixed relative to the transfer station 103 when it is docked with the transfer station 103. Further, when the second material transfer part 105 of the second device 102 is not configured with power, and the power docking device 113 provides power to drive the second material transfer part 105, by arranging the fastening device 122, it can prevent the first gear 118 of the power docking device 113 and the second gear 120 of the second material transfer part 105 from producing noise, loose engagement and other malfunctions when engaging.

[0047] In some embodiments, the fastening device 122 has a first blocking piece 123, a second blocking piece 124, a first limiting piece 125, and a fastening driving part 126. The second blocking piece 124 is located behind the first blocking piece 123 and is configured to be switched between a first position ST and a second position ND. The first limiting piece 125 can abut against the second blocking piece 124. The fastening driving part 126 is configured to slide the second blocking piece 124 relative to the first limiting piece 125 to switch the second blocking piece 124 between the first position ST and the second position ND. When the second blocking piece 124 is located at the first position ST, the second device 102 can cross the second blocking piece 124 and abut against the first blocking piece 123 to be docked with the transfer part 103, or the second device 102 can cross the second blocking piece 124 to be transferred relative to the transfer part 103. After the second device 102 is docked with the transfer part 103, and the second blocking piece 124 is located at the second position ND, the second device 102 is limited relative to the transfer part 103.

[0048] It is conceivable that, in the present embodiment, when the second device 102 needs to be docked and fixed with the transfer part 103, the fastening driving part 126 makes the second blocking piece 124 located at the first position ST, and after the second device 102 is located between the first blocking piece 123 and the second blocking piece 124 in the front-back direction, the fastening driving part 126 makes the second blocking piece 124 located at the second position ND to relatively fix the second device 102 and the transfer part 103, so as to transfer the material 108. Since the second blocking piece 124 is switched between the first position ST and the second position ND, the second device 102 is also easy to be switched between the fastened state and the transferable state relative to the transfer part 103.

[0049] It is conceivable that, in the present embodiment, the first position ST refers to a position where the second blocking piece 124 allows the second device 102 to cross and abut against the first blocking piece 123 in the forward direction to approach the transfer part 103 or to move away from the transfer part 103 in the backward direction. The second position ND refers to a position where the second blocking piece 124 can limit the second device 102 from retreating in the backward direction. In addition, as long as the second device 102 can be limited or released, the directions of the first position ST and the second position ND are not limited, for example, the first position ST and the second position ND can be located in the vertical direction, and the second position ND is higher than the first position ST in the vertical direction. The first position ST and the second position ND can also be located in the horizontal direction, and the second position ND is higher (protrudes) than the first position ST in the horizontal direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the switching of the second blocking member 124, the fastening device 122 further comprises a first mounting plate 127, and the second blocking member 124 is movably mounted to the first mounting plate 127 to switch between the first position ST and the second position ND. Since the second blocking member 124 is movably mounted to the first mounting plate 127, it is easy to change the position of the second blocking member 124, and in addition, it is also convenient to connect the second blocking member 124 and other components, such as the fastening driving part 126.

[0051] It is conceivable that the fastening driving part 126 can use both a pneumatic cylinder and an electric motor. For example, when the fastening driving part 126 uses a pneumatic cylinder, a first linear slide rail 128 extending in the front-rear direction can be provided on the transfer stand 109, the first mounting plate 127 is mounted on the first linear slide rail 128 and connected with the pneumatic cylinder as the fastening driving part 126, and the first mounting plate 127 is driven to slide in the front-rear direction by the pneumatic cylinder, so as to drive the second blocking member 124 to slide in the front-rear direction. In this way, the second blocking member 124 can not only limit the movement of the second device 102 in the rear direction, but also push the second device 102 towards the first blocking member 123, further fastening the second device 102.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to realize the switching of the second blocking member 124 between the first position ST and the second position ND, the second blocking member 124 is rotatably mounted to the first mounting plate 127; the first limiting member 125 is provided with a first guide part 129 and a second guide part 130, the first guide part 129 is parallel to the horizontal direction, and the second guide part 130 is lower than the first guide part 129 in the vertical direction (up-down direction); and the second blocking member 124 slides along the first guide part 129 and the second guide part 130 respectively to switch between the second position ND and the first position ST. Specifically, the first mounting plate 127 is provided with a first rotating shaft 131, and the second blocking member 124 is provided with a first hole part (not shown), and the first rotating shaft 131 is inserted into the first hole part of the second blocking member 124, so that the second blocking member 124 can freely rotate around the first rotating shaft 131.

[0053] The first guide part 129 can be a guide plane provided at the top of the first limiting member 125 in the up-down direction, and when the second blocking member 124 abuts against the first guide part 129, the second blocking member 124 is limited by the first guide part 129 and is in the second position ND. The fastening driving part 126 is connected with the first mounting plate 127 and drives the second blocking member 124 to slide horizontally along the first guide part 129 in the front-rear direction, which can realize that after the second device 102 crosses the second blocking member 124, the fastening driving part 126 drives the second blocking member 124 horizontally in the front direction to push the second device 102 in the front-rear direction and fasten it to the transfer stand 109.

[0054] The second guiding part 130 is arranged to be lower than the first guiding part 129 in the vertical direction. When the fastening driving part 126 drives the second blocking piece 124 to slide in the rear direction and out of the first guiding part 129, the second blocking piece 124 rotates around the first rotating shaft 131 under the action of gravity, and the height of the top part 132 of the second blocking piece gradually decreases in the up-down direction until the second blocking piece 124 abuts against the second guiding part 130. Thus, the second blocking piece 124 can be gradually switched from the second position ND (i.e. the position capable of limiting the second device 102) to the first position ST (i.e. the position capable of releasing the limitation on the second device 102).

[0055] When the fastening driving part 126 drives the second blocking piece 124 in the front direction, the second blocking piece 124 is blocked by the second guiding part 130 and gradually rotates around the first rotating shaft 131 until the second blocking piece 124 abuts against the first guiding part 129, i.e. at this time the second blocking piece 124 is switched from the first position ST to the second position ND.
