Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material transfer, and in particular to a transportation system and application method of a foldable turnover box. Background Art

[0002] In the process of manufacturing electrical product housings such as storage batteries, it is necessary to count and output the finished products, semi-finished products, and waste materials after production. In the prior art, the products after production are manually placed on a conveyor belt or loaded into a turnover box for output. However, it is impossible to classify and output the finished products, semi-finished products, and waste materials, which is not convenient for subsequent statistics. For factories that directly place products on the conveyor belt for output, there are risks such as product bumping and dropping during product output; while factories that use turnover boxes for output still need to manually unfold each turnover box and then put the products in and output them. This not only increases the labor intensity of workers, but also has low turnover efficiency and poor continuity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transportation system of a foldable turnover box for the deficiencies of the prior art, including a conveying mechanism, an unfolding mechanism, a sensing mechanism, and a transfer mechanism. A feeding cylinder and a transmission component are arranged in the conveying mechanism. The transmission component receives the foldable turnover box output from the feeding cylinder and conveys it backward. A lifting member, a guiding component, a rotating component, and several expanding components are arranged in the unfolding mechanism. The lifting member drives the foldable turnover box conveyed on the transmission component to unfold in the vertical direction. The expanding components move synchronously with the foldable turnover box and expand the inner side of the foldable turnover box under the action of the guiding component. An identification component and a partitioning component are arranged in the sensing mechanism. The partitioning component limits the foldable turnover box on the transmission component and the identification component identifies the products placed in the foldable turnover box. A shunting component is arranged in the transfer mechanism. The shunting component receives the signal of the identification component and drives the foldable turnover box to output in different directions, solving the problems of inconvenient statistics, low turnover efficiency, and poor continuity existing in the prior art.

The expanding components move synchronously with the folding turnover box and expand the inner side of the folding turnover box under the action of the guiding component. The sensing mechanism includes an identification component and a separating component. The separating component limits the folding turnover box on the transmission component and identifies the products placed in the folding turnover box through the identification component. The transfer mechanism includes a shunting component. The shunting component receives the signal of the identification component and drives the folding turnover box to output in different directions.

[0006] As a preference, the transmission component includes a base a arranged below the feeding cylinder, a motor a arranged on the base a, and a transmission belt a driven by the motor a. A support plate a is arranged below the transmission belt a. The support plate is fixedly connected to the lifting member. The transmission component further includes a base b arranged at the tail end of the base a, a motor b arranged on the base b, and a transmission belt b driven by the motor b.

[0007] As a preference, the guiding component includes bases c arranged on both sides of the transmission belt a, guide rails arranged on the bases c, and a support plate b arranged at the top of the bases c. A connecting rod is further arranged on the bases c, and a pressing block is arranged on the connecting rod.

[0008] As a preference, the rotating component includes a base d arranged on one side of the base c, a motor c arranged on the base d, and a rotating chain driven by the motor c. A rotating rod is connected between the rotating chain and the base d.

[0009] As a preference, the expanding component includes a sliding sleeve a fixedly arranged on the rotating chain and a telescopic rod arranged in the sliding sleeve a. The telescopic rod is connected to the sliding sleeve a through a return spring a. A guiding rod is arranged on one side of the telescopic rod. A roller is arranged at the top of the guiding rod. A sliding sleeve b is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic rod. A top push rod a and a top push rod b are arranged in the sliding sleeve b. The top push rod a and the top push rod b are connected to the sliding sleeve b through a return spring b. Protrusions are arranged on both the top push rod a and the top push rod b.

[0010] As a preference, the recognition component includes support rods arranged on both sides of the base b and a sliding rod slidably arranged on the support rods. A vision recognizer is connected to the sliding rod. The separation component includes a support base a arranged on the base b, a cylinder a arranged on the support base, and a support plate a driven by the cylinder a. Baffles are arranged on both sides of the support plate a.

[0011] As a preference, the shunt component includes a base e arranged at the end of the base b, a motor d arranged on the base e, and a number of conveyor belts c arranged at equal intervals and driven by the motor d. A support base b is arranged on the base e. A cylinder b is arranged on the support base b, and a support plate b driven by the cylinder b. A motor e is arranged on the support plate b, and a number of rollers driven by the motor e. The rollers are connected by belts.

[0012] As a preference, the transfer mechanism further includes a first output component, a second output component, and a third output component arranged on one side of the shunt component in a clockwise order. The first output component, the second output component, and the third output component are all provided with the same base f, a motor f arranged on the base f, and a conveyor belt d driven by the motor f.

[0013] As a preference, the folding turnover box includes a bottom plate, a rotating plate a hinged to the bottom plate, and a rotating plate b hinged to the rotating plate a. The top end of the rotating plate b is hinged with a top plate. A side plate is hinged to the bottom of the top plate. Hanging ears are arranged on both sides of the top plate.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for applying a folding turnover box, including the following steps: The feeding cylinder sequentially outputs the unfolded folding turnover boxes onto the conveyor belt a. The conveyor belt a transports the folding turnover boxes one by one backward. During the transportation process, the folding turnover boxes are unfolded in the vertical direction by the lifting member. When the folding turnover boxes are unfolded in the vertical direction, the inner sides of the side plates are expanded by the expanding support component. When the folding turnover boxes are transported onto the conveyor belt b, the recognition component sends a signal to the separation component to limit the two sides of the folding turnover boxes on the conveyor belt b so that the staff can put the products into the folding turnover boxes. After the recognition component recognizes the products in the folding turnover boxes, it sends a signal to the shunt component and sends a signal to the separation component to release the limit. The shunt component outputs the folding turnover boxes containing finished products, semi-finished products, or waste through the first output component, the second output component, or the third output component respectively.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0016] 1. The present invention is provided with an unfolding mechanism. Through the cooperation of the lifting member in the unfolding mechanism and conveyor belt a, the unfolded folding turnover box is vertically unfolded by the lifting member during the transportation of conveyor belt a, solving the problem in the prior art that the folding turnover boxes need to be manually unfolded one by one and then placed on the assembly line for transportation, and improving the efficiency of product turnover.

[0017] 2. The present invention is provided with a spreading and supporting assembly. Through the cooperation of the spreading and supporting assembly with the guiding assembly and the rotary assembly, the inner side of the side plate of the folding turnover box is spread and supported to completely unfold the folding turnover box. The guiding rod in the spreading and supporting assembly cooperates with the guide rail, so that the spreading and supporting assembly realizes the lowering of the telescopic rod during the synchronous movement with the folding turnover box, and the extrusion block on the connecting rod extrudes the bumps on push rod a and push rod b to make push rod a and push rod b slide outwards to spread and support the side plate of the folding turnover box, avoiding the problem that the side plates of the folding turnover box cannot be effectively attached and are prone to instability simply by vertical unfolding, and greatly saving time and labor at the same time.

[0018] 3. The present invention is provided with an identification assembly and a separation assembly. Through the cooperation of the identification assembly and the separation assembly, the products placed in the folding turnover box are identified. After the identification assembly identifies the folding turnover box transported to conveyor belt b, it sends a signal to the separation assembly. The separation assembly limits the two ends of conveyor belt b, facilitating the staff to place the products in the folding turnover box. When the placement of the products is completed, the visual recognition device identifies the products in the turnover box and sends a signal to the diversion assembly and at the same time sends a signal to the separation assembly to release the limit, making the turnover of the products more continuous.

[0019] 4. The present invention is provided with a diversion assembly. Through the cooperation of the diversion assembly with the identification assembly, the folding turnover box is output in different directions. The diversion assembly receives the signal from the identification assembly. When it identifies that the product in the box is a finished product, a semi-finished product or a waste product, the diversion assembly drives the folding turnover box to be respectively transported to the first output assembly, the second output assembly or the third output assembly for output, solving the problems in the prior art that the type of the product cannot be effectively identified, resulting in the finished products, semi-finished products and waste products being output through the same conveyor belt, which is not convenient for subsequent statistics and requires more time for sorting, etc.

[0020] In summary, the transportation system and application method of the folding turnover box have the advantages of high product turnover efficiency, more convenient subsequent statistics of products, more labor-saving subsequent sorting of products, and strong continuity, and are particularly suitable for the technical field of material transfer.

[0036] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] As Figures 1 to 13 shown, a transportation system for a folding turnover box includes a conveying mechanism 1, an unfolding mechanism 2 arranged above the conveying mechanism 1, a sensing mechanism 3 arranged at the tail end of the conveying mechanism 1, and a transfer mechanism 4 arranged at the tail end of the sensing mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a feeding cylinder 11 and a transmission assembly 12. The transmission assembly 12 receives the folding turnover box 5 output from the feeding cylinder 11 and transports it backward. The unfolding mechanism 2 includes a lifting member 21, a guiding assembly 22, a rotating assembly 23, and a number of expanding and supporting assemblies 24 driven by the rotating assembly 23. The lifting member 21 drives the folding turnover box 5 transported on the transmission assembly 12 to unfold in the vertical direction. The expanding and supporting assemblies 24 move synchronously with the folding turnover box 5 and expand the inner side of the folding turnover box 5 under the action of the guiding assembly 22. The sensing mechanism 3 includes an identification component 31 and a separating component 32. The separating component 32 limits the folding turnover box 5 on the transmission assembly 13 and identifies the products placed in the folding turnover box 5 through the identification component 31. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a shunting component 41. The shunting component 33 receives the signal from the identification component 31 and drives the folding turnover box 5 to output in different directions.

[0039] Here, the present invention solves the problems of low turnover efficiency in the prior art that manual operation is required to unfold each folding turnover box one by one before outputting products, and it is not convenient for subsequent statistics because finished products, semi-finished products, and waste materials are not distinguished during output, by setting the conveying mechanism 1, arranging the unfolding mechanism 2 above the conveying mechanism 1, setting the sensing mechanism 3 at the tail end of the conveying mechanism 1, setting the transfer mechanism 4 at the tail end of the sensing mechanism 3, setting the feeding cylinder 11 and the transmission assembly 12 in the conveying mechanism 1, receiving the folding turnover box 5 output from the feeding cylinder 11 by the transmission assembly 12 and transporting it backward, setting the lifting member 21, the guiding assembly 22, the rotating assembly 23, and a number of expanding and supporting assemblies 24 driven by the rotating assembly 23 in the unfolding mechanism 2, driving the folding turnover box 5 transported on the transmission assembly 12 to unfold in the vertical direction by the lifting member 21, expanding the inner side of the folding turnover box 5 by the expanding and supporting assemblies 24 moving synchronously with the folding turnover box 5 and under the action of the guiding assembly 22, setting the identification component 31 and the separating component 32 in the sensing mechanism 3, limiting the folding turnover box 5 on the transmission assembly 13 by the separating component 32 and identifying the products placed in the folding turnover box 5 through the identification component 31, and setting the shunting component 41 in the transfer mechanism 4, and driving the folding turnover box 5 to output in different directions by the shunting component 33 receiving the signal from the identification component 31.

[0040] The transmission component 12 includes a base a121 disposed below the loading cylinder 11, a motor a122 disposed on the base a121, and a conveyor belt a123 driven by the motor a122. A support plate a124 is disposed below the conveyor belt a123, and the support plate a124 is fixedly connected to the lifting member 21. The transmission component 12 further includes a base b125 disposed at the end of the base a121, a motor b126 disposed on the base b125, and a conveyor belt b127 driven by the motor b126. The loading cylinder 11 sequentially outputs the unfolded folding turnover box 5 onto the conveyor belt a123, and the conveyor belt a123 drives the folding turnover box 5 to move towards the unfolding structure 2, so that the unfolding mechanism 2 drives the folding turnover box 5 to complete unfolding. The support plate a124 is provided to fix the lifting member 21 and support the conveyor belt a123 at the same time.

[0041] The guiding component 22 includes bases c221 disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt a113, guide rails 222 disposed on the bases c221, and a support plate b225 disposed on the top of the bases c221. A connecting rod 223 is further disposed on the bases c221, and an extrusion block 224 is disposed on the connecting rod 223. The guide rails 222 cooperate with the guide rods 244 to enable the telescopic rod 242 to move up and down. The extrusion block 224 cooperates with the convex block 2410 to enable the ejector rod a247 and the ejector rod b248 to slide outwards to expand and support the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5. The support plate b225 is provided to support the rotary chain 233, so that the rotary chain 233 can operate without jamming.

[0042] The rotary component 23 includes a base d231 disposed on one side of the base c221, a motor c232 disposed on the base d231, and a rotary chain 233 driven by the motor c232. A rotating rod 234 is connected between the rotary chain 233 and the base d231. The motor c232 drives the rotary chain 233 to rotate, so that the expanding and supporting component 24 disposed on the rotary chain 233 moves synchronously with the folding turnover box 5 conveyed on the conveyor belt a123, making the expansion and support of the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5 by the expanding and supporting component 24 more accurate and continuous.

[0043] The expanding component 24 includes a sliding sleeve a241 fixedly arranged on the rotary chain 233 and a telescopic rod 242 arranged inside the sliding sleeve a241. The telescopic rod 242 is connected to the sliding sleeve a241 through a return spring a243. A guide rod 244 is arranged on one side of the telescopic rod 242, a roller 245 is arranged at the top of the guide rod 244, a sliding sleeve b246 is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic rod 242, a push rod a247 and a push rod b248 are arranged inside the sliding sleeve b246, and the push rod a247 and the push rod b248 are connected to the sliding sleeve b246 through a return spring b249. Convex blocks 2410 are arranged on both the push rod a247 and the push rod b248. The guide rod 244 causes the telescopic rod 242 to descend under the action of the guide rail 222. When the sliding sleeve b246 descends into the folding turnover box 5, the push rod a247 and the push rod b248 slide outwards by squeezing the convex blocks 2410 by the extrusion block 224 to expand the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the present invention is provided with an unfolding mechanism 2. Through the cooperation of the lifting member 21 in the unfolding mechanism 2 and the conveyor belt a113, the unfurled folding turnover box 5 is unfolded in the vertical direction through the lifting member 21 during the transportation of the conveyor belt a113, solving the problem in the prior art that the folding turnover boxes need to be manually unfolded one by one and then placed on the assembly line for transportation, and improving the efficiency of product turnover.

[0045] Even more worth mentioning is that the present invention is provided with an expanding component 24. Through the cooperation of the expanding component 24 with the guiding component 22 and the rotary component 23, the inner side of the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5 is expanded to completely unfold the folding turnover box 5. The guide rod 244 in the expanding component 24 cooperates with the guide rail 222 to cause the telescopic rod 242 to descend during the process of the expanding component 24 moving synchronously with the folding turnover box 5, and the extrusion block 224 on the connecting rod 223 squeezes the convex blocks 2410 on the push rod a247 and the push rod b248 to make the push rod a247 and the push rod b248 slide outwards to expand the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5, avoiding the problem that the side plate 55 cannot be effectively attached and is prone to instability when the folding turnover box 5 is simply unfolded in the vertical direction, and greatly saving time and labor at the same time.

[0046] The identification component 31 includes support rods 311 arranged on both sides of the base b125 and a sliding rod 312 slidably arranged on the support rods 311. A visual identifier 313 is connected to the sliding rod 312. The separation component 32 includes a support base a321 arranged on the base b125, a cylinder a322 arranged on the support base a321, and a support plate a323 driven by the cylinder a322. Baffles 324 are arranged on both sides of the support plate a323. After the visual identifier 313 identifies the foldable turnover box 5 transported to the conveyor belt b127, it sends a signal to the separation component 32. The cylinder a322 drives the support plate a323 to rise, so that the baffles 324 limit both sides of the conveyor belt b127. After the staff places the product in the turnover box 5, the visual identifier 313 identifies the product and sends a signal to the diversion component 41, and at the same time sends a signal to the separation component 32 to release the limit, so that the foldable turnover box 5 is transported to the diversion component 41. The sliding rod 312 enables the visual identifier 313 to slide along the support rod 311 to facilitate position adjustment.

[0047] More notably, the present invention is provided with an identification component 31 and a separation component 32. By the cooperation of the identification component 31 and the separation component 32, the product placed in the foldable turnover box 5 is identified. After the identification component 31 identifies the foldable turnover box 5 transported to the conveyor belt b127, it sends a signal to the separation component 32. The separation component 32 limits both ends of the conveyor belt b127, facilitating the staff to place the product in the foldable turnover box 5. When the placement of the product is completed, after the visual identifier 313 identifies the product in the turnover box 5, it sends a signal to the diversion component 41 and at the same time sends a signal to the separation component 21 to release the limit, making the turnover continuity of the product stronger.

[0048] The shunt component 41 includes a base e411 provided at the tail end of the base b125, a motor d412 provided on the base e411, and a number of conveyor belts c413 arranged at equal intervals driven by the motor d412. A support base b414 is provided on the base e411, a cylinder b415 and a support plate b416 driven by the cylinder b415 are provided on the support base b414. A motor e417 and a number of rollers 418 driven by the motor e417 are provided on the support plate b416. The rollers 418 are connected to each other by a belt 419. After receiving the signal from the identification component 31, the shunt component 41 transports the product in different directions according to the category of the product. When the product is a finished product, the motor d412 drives the conveyor belt c413 to transport the folding turnover box 5 to the first output component 42 for output. When the product is a semi-finished product, the cylinder b415 drives the support plate b416 to rise and the motor e417 makes the rollers 418 rotate clockwise to transport the folding turnover box 5 to the second output component 43 for output. When the box contains waste, the cylinder b415 drives the support plate b416 to rise and the motor e417 makes the rollers 418 rotate counterclockwise to transport the folding turnover box 5 to the third output component 44 for output. The interval between the conveyor belts c413 matches the interval between the rollers 418, so that when the rollers 418 rise, they just pass through the gap between the conveyor belts c413, avoiding interference with the conveyor belts c413.

[0049] The transfer mechanism 4 further includes a first output component 42, a second output component 43, and a third output component 44 arranged on one side of the shunt component 41 in a clockwise direction. The first output component 42, the second output component 43, and the third output component 44 are all provided with the same base f421, a motor f422 provided on the base f421, and a conveyor belt d423 driven by the motor f422. The first output component 42, the second output component 43, and the third output component 44 receive the folding turnover box 5 transported by the shunt component 41 and output it in different directions respectively, so that the finished products, semi-finished products, and waste are output to the designated places, facilitating the subsequent statistics by the staff.

[0050] In addition, the present invention is provided with a shunt component 41. By cooperating with the identification component 31, the shunt component 41 realizes the output of the folding turnover box 5 in different directions. The shunt component 41 receives the signal from the identification component 31. When it is identified that the product in the box is a finished product, a semi-finished product, or waste, the shunt component 41 drives the folding turnover box 5 to be transported to the first output component 42, the second output component 43, or the third output component 44 for output respectively, solving the problems that the prior art cannot effectively identify the type of the product, resulting in the finished products, semi-finished products, and waste being output through the same conveyor belt, which is not convenient for subsequent statistics and requires more time for sorting.

[0051] The folding turnover box 5 includes a bottom plate 51, a rotating plate a 52 hinged to the bottom plate 51, and a rotating plate b 53 hinged to the rotating plate a 52. The top end of the rotating plate b 53 is hinged with a top plate 54, and the bottom of the top plate 54 is hinged with a side plate 55. Hanging ears 56 are arranged on both sides of the top plate 54. By arranging the hanging ears 56, the folding turnover box 5 is matched with the lifting member 21 to realize automatic unfolding in the vertical direction, and the hanging ears 56 also facilitate the subsequent handling of the folding turnover box 5.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] As Figure 14 shown, an application method of a folding turnover box includes the following steps: The feeding cylinder 11 sequentially outputs the unfolded folding turnover box 5 onto the conveyor belt a 123. The conveyor belt a 123 conveys the folding turnover box 5 backward one by one. During the conveying process, the folding turnover box 5 is unfolded in the vertical direction by the lifting member 21. At the same time, the motor c 232 drives the rotary chain 233 to rotate, so that the expansion and support assembly 24 arranged on the rotary chain 233 moves synchronously with the folding turnover box 5 conveyed on the conveyor belt a 123. The guide rod 244 causes the telescopic rod 242 to descend under the action of the guide rail 222. When the sliding sleeve b 246 descends into the folding turnover box 5, the extrusion block 224 squeezes the convex block 2410, causing the ejector rod a 247 and the ejector rod b 248 to slide outwards to expand and support the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5. When the folding turnover box 5 is conveyed to the conveyor belt b 127 after being unfolded, the recognition assembly 31 sends a signal to make the separation assembly 32 limit the two sides of the folding turnover box 5 on the conveyor belt b 127, so that the staff can put the product into the folding turnover box 5. After the recognition assembly 31 recognizes the product in the folding turnover box 5, it sends a signal to the diversion assembly 41 and sends a signal to the separation assembly 32 to release the limit. The diversion assembly 41 outputs the folding turnover boxes 5 containing finished products, semi-finished products or waste through the first output assembly 42, the second output assembly 43 or the third output assembly 44 respectively.

[0054] Working process

[0055] First, the unfolded folding turnover box 5 is successively output to the conveyor belt a123 through the feeding cylinder 11, and then the folding turnover box 5 is conveyed backward one by one through the conveyor belt a123. During the conveying process, the folding turnover box 5 is unfolded in the vertical direction by the lifting member 21. At the same time, the motor c232 drives the rotary chain 233 to rotate, so that the expansion and support assembly 24 arranged on the rotary chain 233 moves synchronously with the folding turnover box 5 conveyed on the conveyor belt a123. During the movement of the expansion and support assembly 24, the guide rod 244 causes the telescopic rod 242 to continuously descend under the action of the guide rail 222. When the sliding sleeve b246 arranged on the telescopic rod 242 descends into the folding turnover box 5, the extrusion block 224 squeezes the convex block 2410, so that the top push rod a247 and the top push rod b248 slide outwards to expand and support the side plate 55 of the folding turnover box 5. When the unfolded folding turnover box 5 is conveyed to the conveyor belt b127 through the conveyor belt a123, when the visual recognition device 313 recognizes the folding turnover box 5 conveyed to the conveyor belt b127, it sends a signal to the separation assembly 32. The air cylinder a322 drives the support plate a323 to rise, so that the baffle 324 limits both sides of the conveyor belt b127. After the staff puts the product into the turnover box 5, the visual recognition device 313 recognizes the product and sends a signal to the shunt assembly 41, and at the same time sends a signal to the separation assembly 32 to release the limit, so that the folding turnover box 5 is conveyed to the shunt assembly 41. After receiving the signal of the recognition assembly 31, the shunt assembly 41 conveys in different directions according to the category of the product. When the product is a finished product, the motor d412 drives the conveyor belt c413 to convey the folding turnover box 5 to the first output assembly 42 for output. When the product is a semi-finished product, the air cylinder b415 drives the support plate b416 to rise and the motor e417 makes the roller 418 rotate clockwise to convey the folding turnover box 5 to the second output assembly 43 for output. When the folding turnover box 5 contains waste, the air cylinder b415 drives the support plate b416 to rise and the motor e417 makes the roller 418 rotate counterclockwise to convey the folding turnover box 5 to the third output assembly 44 for output.
