[0046] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention.

[0047] This embodiment provides a conveying device for a welding device to reduce the number of times of flipping the front frame of a container during the process of manufacturing the front frame of the container. The conveying device can be used in cooperation with the welding device. The conveying device can include a vertical conveying device, and the welding device includes a plurality of vertical welding devices. The positions of the plurality of vertical welding devices correspond to the vertical conveying device, so that each of the plurality of front frames of the container on the vertical conveying device corresponds to a plurality of vertical welding devices respectively, and the vertical welding actions can be concentrated.

[0048] The following will be combined with Figure 1 Describe the specific structure of the vertical conveying device 110.

[0049] The vertical conveying device 110 includes a vertical frame 111, a vertical moving mechanism 112, and a plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113. The vertical moving mechanism 112 and the plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113 are both arranged in the vertical frame 111. The height direction of the vertical frame 111 can be parallel to the height direction of the front frame of the container in an upright state. The length direction of the vertical frame 111 can be parallel to the width direction of the front frame of the container in an upright state. The width direction of the vertical frame 111 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the front frame of the container in an upright state.

[0050] The vertical moving mechanism 112 can move at least one front frame of the container in an upright state. The front frame of the container in an upright state can be moved along the length direction of the vertical frame 111 by the vertical moving mechanism 112. Further, the vertical moving mechanism 112 can reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. The vertical clamping mechanism 113 is used to clamp the front frame of the container in an upright state. The vertical moving mechanism 112 can move the front frame of the container in an upright state from one vertical clamping mechanism 113 to another vertical clamping mechanism 113.

[0051] Specifically, the vertical moving mechanism 112 includes a first reciprocating assembly and a vertical driving component 114. The vertical driving component 114 is arranged on the vertical frame 111, and the vertical driving component 114 is connected to the first reciprocating assembly to drive the first reciprocating assembly to reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. More specifically, the vertical driving component 114 can include a first driving member and a first pushing member. The first driving member can be configured as a variable-frequency reduction motor. One end of the first pushing member along the length direction of the vertical frame 111 can be connected to the first driving member, and the first driving member can push the first pushing member to reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111.

[0052] The first reciprocating assembly includes a first reciprocating rod and a connecting member. The length direction of the first reciprocating rod is parallel to the length direction of the vertical frame 111. The first reciprocating rod can be connected to the other end of the first pushing member along the length direction of the vertical frame 111 through a cross bar. The first driving member drives the first pushing member to reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111, and the first pushing member drives the first reciprocating rod to reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111.

[0053] The first reciprocating rod moves between a first predetermined position and a second predetermined position along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. In this embodiment, the "first predetermined position" refers to the position where the first reciprocating rod is located for loading. The first reciprocating rod at the first predetermined position receives the front frame of the container from the tipping mechanism. In this embodiment, the "second predetermined position" refers to the position where the first reciprocating rod is located for unloading. The first reciprocating rod at the second predetermined position moves the front frame of the container in an upright state to the last vertical welding station.

[0054] The vertical station of the vertical conveying device 110 can be a maintenance station. The moving stroke of the first reciprocating rod can be the same as the moving stroke of the first pushing member, so that the moving distance of the first reciprocating rod is the distance of one vertical station, to ensure that the first reciprocating rod can move the front frame of the container in an upright state at the previous vertical station to the next vertical station.

[0055] For example, the vertical conveying device 110 can correspond to 7 vertical welding devices, and the length of the vertical conveying device 110 is substantially the same as the total length of the 7 vertical welding devices. The length of the first reciprocating rod can be substantially the same as the total length of 6 vertical welding devices, so as to leave a margin for the reciprocating movement of the first reciprocating rod.

[0056] The first reciprocating rod can simultaneously convey 6 front frames of containers in an upright state. The first reciprocating rod at the first predetermined position corresponds to the first vertical station, and the first reciprocating rod at the second predetermined position corresponds to the seventh vertical station. The first reciprocating rod can move the front frame of the container in an upright state at the first vertical station to the second vertical station, and so on. The first reciprocating rod moves the front frame of the container in an upright state at the sixth vertical station to the seventh vertical station. After the first reciprocating rod moves a plurality of front frames of containers in an upright state to the next vertical station along the first direction respectively, the first reciprocating rod moves back to its original position without load along the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are opposite and both are parallel to the length direction of the vertical frame 111.

[0057] The first reciprocating rod is provided with a connecting member, and the connecting member can be connected to the front frame of the container in an upright state. For example, the connecting member can be a pneumatic clamping member to facilitate clamping the front frame of the container in an upright state. At least one connecting member is provided on the first reciprocating rod, and the number of connecting members can be the same as the number of front frames of containers in an upright state. For example, the first reciprocating rod is provided with 6 connecting members, and the 6 connecting members can be respectively connected to 6 front frames of containers in an upright state to clamp the 6 front frames of containers in an upright state. Thus, it can be ensured that when the first reciprocating rod conveys the front frames of containers in an upright state, the front frames of containers in an upright state will not shake.

[0058] To ensure that the vertical movement mechanism 112 smoothly conveys at least one upright container front frame, the vertical conveying device 110 further includes a vertical support mechanism 115. The vertical support mechanism 115 is disposed in the vertical frame 111 and the length direction of the vertical support mechanism 115 is parallel to the length direction of the vertical frame 111. At least one upright container front frame can be sequentially placed on the vertical support mechanism 115. The vertical support mechanism 115 can be configured as a drag chain, and the length of the drag chain can be substantially the same as the length of the vertical frame 111. The vertical support mechanism 115 can support at least one upright container front frame. In this way, it is prevented that the upright container front frame drops during movement.

[0059] Furthermore, the vertical support mechanism 115 includes a plurality of rollable rollers, and the plurality of rollers are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. A flat plate can be disposed above the rollers, and the flat plate is used to support the container front frame. In this way, the plurality of rollers can support at least one upright container front frame. During the movement of the upright container front frame, the rollers roll, facilitating the movement of the container front frame.

[0060] A plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113 are disposed in the vertical frame 111, and the plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. The vertical conveying mechanism can convey the container front frame to the corresponding vertical clamping mechanisms 113 respectively. A side push cylinder can also be disposed on the side of the vertical clamping mechanism 113, and the side push cylinder can push the container front frame from the vertical conveying mechanism to the vertical clamping mechanism 113. The vertical clamping mechanism 113 is used to clamp the upright container front frame conveyed to a predetermined position. The vertical clamping mechanism 113 can include a clamping cylinder and a fixture, and the clamping cylinder can be connected to the fixture to drive the fixture to clamp the upright container front frame. In this embodiment, the "predetermined position" refers to the position where the vertical conveying mechanism conveys the container front frame to the position where welding action needs to be performed.

[0061] The vertical clamping mechanism 113 can be correspondingly arranged with the vertical welding device. Different container front frames move to different vertical clamping mechanisms 113, and the corresponding vertical welding device can perform welding actions on the container front frames.

[0062] Preferably, the conveying device includes adjacent first vertical clamping mechanisms and second vertical clamping mechanisms, and the vertical driving assembly 114 can be arranged between the first vertical clamping mechanism and the second vertical clamping mechanism along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. Thus, it can be ensured that the vertical driving assembly 114 can stably drive the reciprocating movement of the first reciprocating rod, reducing energy loss. The front frame of the container in the upright state clamped by the first vertical clamping mechanism can be moved to the corresponding position of the second vertical clamping mechanism through the first reciprocating rod to ensure the smooth movement of the front frame of the container.

[0063] According to the conveying device of the present invention, the conveying device is used for a welding device. The welding device includes a plurality of vertical welding devices. The conveying device includes a vertical conveying device 110. The vertical conveying device 110 includes a vertical frame 111, a vertical moving mechanism 112 and a plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113. The vertical moving mechanism 112 can reciprocate along the length direction of the vertical frame 111. The vertical moving mechanism 112 is used to move at least one front frame of the container in the upright state. The plurality of vertical clamping mechanisms 113 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vertical frame 111, and the vertical clamping mechanisms 113 are arranged corresponding to the vertical welding devices, so as to reduce the number of flips of the front frame of the container during the welding process, improve production efficiency and reduce the floor area.

[0064] Furthermore, the conveying device further includes a horizontal conveying device 120. The welding device further includes a plurality of horizontal welding devices. The plurality of horizontal welding devices are all arranged corresponding to the horizontal conveying device 120, so that multiple welding operations can be completed as long as the front frame of the container placed flat is arranged on the horizontal conveying device 120.

[0065] The following combines Figure 2 and Figure 3 to describe the horizontal conveying device 120 in detail.

[0066] Specifically, the horizontal conveying device 120 includes a horizontal frame 121, a horizontal moving mechanism and a horizontal supporting mechanism 125. The horizontal moving mechanism and the horizontal supporting mechanism 125 are both arranged on the horizontal frame 121. The height direction of the horizontal frame 121 can be parallel to the thickness direction of the front frame of the container in the flat state. The length direction of the horizontal frame 121 can be parallel to the width direction of the front frame of the container in the flat state. The width direction of the horizontal frame 121 can be parallel to the height direction of the front frame of the container in the flat state.

[0067] The horizontal moving mechanism is arranged above the horizontal frame 121 and can reciprocate along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121. Specifically, the horizontal moving mechanism includes a second reciprocating component and a horizontal driving component. The horizontal driving component is arranged on the horizontal frame 121, and the horizontal driving component is connected to the second reciprocating component to drive the second reciprocating component to move along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121.

[0068] The horizontal driving component includes a second driving member 123 and a gear 124. The second driving member 123 can be configured as a variable-frequency reduction motor, and the variable-frequency reduction motor can fix the reducer bottom plate to the middle position of the second reciprocating rod 122 through bolts. The second driving member 123 is connected to the gear 124 to drive the gear 124 to rotate. The second reciprocating component includes a second reciprocating rod 122 and a rack. The length direction of the second reciprocating rod 122 is parallel to the length direction of the horizontal frame 121. A rack is arranged at the bottom of the second reciprocating rod 122. The extending direction of the rack can be parallel to the length direction of the horizontal frame, and the rack can be meshed with the gear 124. The second driving member 123 can drive the gear 124 to rotate, and the gear 124 is meshed with the rack to drive the rack to move along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121. The rack can drive the second reciprocating rod 122 to reciprocate between a third predetermined position and a fourth predetermined position. Thereby, there is less noise and high positioning accuracy.

[0069] One end of the horizontal conveying device 120 can be connected to one end of the vertical conveying device 110 through a flipping mechanism. In this way, the front frame of the container in the horizontal placement state from the horizontal conveying device 120 can be flipped 90° to the upright state through the flipping mechanism, and the front frame of the container flipped to the upright state can be conveyed by the vertical conveying device 110. In this way, during the whole process of welding the front frame of the container, the front frame of the container can be flipped only once, greatly reducing the number of flips.

[0070] In this embodiment, the "third predetermined position" refers to the position where the second reciprocating rod 122 is in the feeding position, and the second reciprocating rod 122 at the third predetermined position receives the front frame of the container. In this embodiment, the "fourth predetermined position" refers to the position where the second reciprocating rod 122 is in the discharging position, and the second reciprocating rod 122 at the fourth predetermined position moves the front frame of the container in the horizontal placement state to the last welding horizontal station. The horizontal stations of the horizontal conveying device 120 can be framing stations.

[0071] A plurality of horizontal welding devices all correspond to the horizontal moving mechanism. When each horizontal welding device welds the front frame of the container in the horizontal placement state, the horizontal conveying device 120 is spaced apart from the front frame of the container in the horizontal placement state. Specifically, a horizontal supporting mechanism 125 can be arranged between the horizontal moving mechanism and the horizontal frame 121, and the horizontal supporting mechanism 125 can move along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121.

[0072] The horizontal support mechanism 125 can drive the horizontal moving mechanism to be movable between a load position and an unloaded position along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121. The top of the horizontal moving mechanism at the load position can be higher than the top of the horizontal moving mechanism at the unloaded position.

[0073] When the horizontal welding device performs a welding operation on the front frame of the container in a flat state, the horizontal moving mechanism at the unloaded position is spaced apart from at least one front frame of the container in a flat state. In this way, the movement of the horizontal moving mechanism at the unloaded position along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121 will not interfere with the front frame of the container in a flat state.

[0074] When the welding operation of the front frame of the container in a flat state is completed, the horizontal support mechanism 125 drives the horizontal moving mechanism to move from the unloaded position to the load position along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121. The horizontal moving mechanism at the load position can support and move at least one front frame of the container in a flat state. As described above, the horizontal moving mechanism includes a second reciprocating rod 122. The second reciprocating rod 122 can reciprocate along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121. The second reciprocating rod 122 at the load position can support the front frame of the container in a flat state. For example, the horizontal support mechanism 125 can move the second reciprocating rod 122 at the unloaded position upward by 100 mm along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121 to the load position.

[0075] At least one front frame of the container in a flat state can be sequentially placed on the horizontal moving mechanism. Preferably, a stop block is provided on the second reciprocating rod 122. The stop block at the load position can abut against the front frame of the container to ensure that the front frame of the container can move along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121 with the second reciprocating rod 122, reducing the relative sliding between the top of the front frame of the container and the second reciprocating rod 122. In order to accurately control the moving stroke of the second reciprocating rod 122, the variable frequency reduction motor can be electrically connected to the encoder to ensure the accuracy of the moving displacement of the second reciprocating rod 122.

[0076] Furthermore, the horizontal conveying device 120 includes two horizontal support mechanisms 125. The two horizontal support mechanisms 125 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the horizontal moving mechanism along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121. The distance between the two horizontal support mechanisms 125 along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121 is greater than the length of the horizontal moving mechanism, so as to facilitate the movement of the horizontal moving mechanism between a third predetermined position and a fourth predetermined position.

[0077] For example, the horizontal conveying device can correspond to 6 horizontal welding devices respectively, and the distance between the two horizontal support mechanisms 125 along the length direction of the horizontal frame 121 can be equal to the total length of the 6 horizontal welding devices. The length of the second reciprocating rod 122 can be approximately the same as the total length of the 5 horizontal welding devices, so as to leave a margin for the reciprocating movement of the second reciprocating rod 122.

[0078] The second reciprocating rod 122 can simultaneously convey 5 horizontally placed front frames of containers. The second reciprocating rod 122 located at the third predetermined position corresponds to the first horizontal working station, and the second reciprocating rod 122 located at the fourth predetermined position corresponds to the sixth horizontal working station. The second reciprocating rod 122 can move the horizontally placed front frame of the container located at the first horizontal working station to the second horizontal working station, and so on. The second reciprocating rod 122 moves the horizontally placed front frame of the container located at the fifth horizontal working station to the sixth horizontal working station. After the second reciprocating rod 122 moves a plurality of horizontally placed front frames of containers to the next horizontal working station along the third direction respectively, the second reciprocating rod 122 moves back to the original position without load along the fourth direction. The third direction and the fourth direction are opposite and both are parallel to the length direction of the horizontal frame 121.

[0079] The horizontal support mechanism 125 includes a first support assembly 126 and a second support assembly 127. The first support assembly 126 includes a hinged plate and a hinged rod. The top of the hinged plate can be connected to the second reciprocating rod 122, and the bottom of the hinged plate is hinged to the horizontal frame 121 through the hinged rod. The second support assembly 127 includes a lifting drive member 128 and a rotating arm 129. The lifting drive member 128 can be a lifting motor. The lifting drive member 128 can be connected to the rotating arm 129, and the top of the rotating arm 129 is hinged to the second reciprocating rod 122. The lifting drive member 128 can drive the rotating arm 129 to rotate to drive the second reciprocating rod 122 to move along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121, and the hinged rod and the hinged plate also move along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121 with the second reciprocating rod 122.

[0080] The lifting drive member 128 can drive the rotating arm 129 to rotate to drive the second reciprocating rod 122 to move upward along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121, and the hinged rod and the hinged plate also move upward along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121 with the second reciprocating rod 122, so that the rotating arm 129, the hinged rod and the hinged plate all support the second reciprocating rod 122 at the load position. The lifting drive member 128 can drive the rotating arm 129 to rotate to drive the second reciprocating rod 122 to move downward along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121, and the hinged rod and the hinged plate also move downward along the height direction of the horizontal frame 121 with the second reciprocating rod 122, so that the rotating arm 129, the hinged rod and the hinged plate all support the second reciprocating rod 122 at the no-load position.
