[0002] In automobile production workshops, trolleys are usually used to transport workpieces or perform welding operations. At the same time, according to processing requirements, it is necessary to use a lift to drive the splicing frame to move and align and splice with the conveying positions of production lines with different floor heights of the conveying system. However, when the traditional lift is used to lift and move the splicing frame, the pallet used to carry the splicing frame is not easy to adjust horizontally in the initial use state, which affects the alignment and splicing effect of the splicing frame. Summary of the invention

[0005] When the lifting and alignment device is in use, the installation requirements of the lifting mechanism and the tray mechanism are met by installing the base frame, that is, the tray mechanism can be lifted and moved relative to the installation base frame under the drive of the lifting mechanism. Furthermore, the driven mechanism and the tray mechanism are adapted and connected by the positioning assembly. When the tray mechanism is lifted and moved relative to the installation base frame, the lifting and moving effect of the tray mechanism relative to the installation base frame is ensured by the transmission cooperation between the driven mechanism and the installation base frame. When it is necessary to perform a leveling operation on the lifting and alignment device, the tray mechanism and the driven mechanism are adjusted by the positioning assembly. For example, the degree of inclination of the tray mechanism relative to the installation base frame can be adjusted by moving the driven mechanism closer to or away from the tray mechanism, thereby ensuring that the tray mechanism can be set horizontally relative to the installation base frame.

[0040] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting and aligning device 10 includes: a mounting base frame 100, a lifting mechanism 200, a tray mechanism 300, a driven mechanism 400 and an alignment component 500. The lifting mechanism 200 is installed and cooperated with the tray mechanism 300. The tray mechanism 300 is lifted and moved relative to the mounting base frame 100 through the lifting mechanism 200. The driven mechanism 400 is in transmission cooperation with the mounting base frame 100. The driven mechanism 400 is installed and cooperated with the tray mechanism 300 through the alignment component 500. The driven mechanism 400 is adjusted relative to the tray mechanism 300 (moved in a direction close to or away from the tray mechanism 300), so as to realize the adjustment of the tray mechanism 300 in the horizontal direction.

[0041] When the above-mentioned lifting and aligning device 10 is in use, the mounting base frame 100 meets the installation requirements of the lifting mechanism 200 and the tray mechanism 300, that is, the tray mechanism 300 can be lifted and moved relative to the mounting base frame 100 driven by the lifting mechanism 200. Further, the driven mechanism 400 and the tray mechanism 300 are adaptively connected through the alignment component 500. When the tray mechanism 300 is lifted and moved relative to the mounting base frame 100, the driven mechanism 400 is in transmission cooperation with the mounting base frame 100, so as to ensure the lifting and moving effect of the tray mechanism 300 relative to the mounting base frame 100. The tray mechanism 300 and the driven mechanism 400 are adjusted through the alignment component 500. For example, the driven mechanism 400 is moved close to or away from the tray mechanism 300, so that the inclination degree of the tray mechanism 300 relative to the mounting base frame 100 can be adjusted, so as to ensure that the tray mechanism 300 can be horizontally arranged relative to the mounting base frame 100.

[0042] In one embodiment, a support block 301 is placed below the tray mechanism 300 for supporting the tray mechanism 300 in the lowered position.

[0043] Combined with Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 200 is installed on the mounting base frame 100. A guiding portion 110 is provided on the mounting base frame 100 along the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 200, and the driven mechanism 400 is in guiding cooperation with the guiding portion 110. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 200 is a lift 210, a lifting motor or a lifting cylinder. According to the installation requirements, the lifting mechanism 200 can be installed on the mounting base frame 100. The guiding portion 110 provided on the mounting base frame 100 can be a guide rail or a guide groove. By the guiding cooperation between the driven mechanism 400 and the guiding portion 110, the lifting effect of the tray mechanism 300 on the mounting base frame 100 can be effectively ensured.

[0044] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the driven mechanism 400 includes a driven seat 410 and a driven wheel set 420. The driven wheel set 420 is rotatably installed on the driven seat 410. The driven seat 410 is installed and cooperated with the tray mechanism 300 through the position adjusting assembly 500, and the driven wheel set 420 is in guiding transmission with the guiding portion 110. Specifically, the number of the driven wheel sets 420 required is determined according to the installation requirements. The driven wheels can be rotatably installed on the driven seat 410 through rotating shafts. For example: the driven wheel set 420 is installed at one end of the driven seat 410, and the other end of the driven seat 410 is used for installing and cooperating with the position adjusting assembly 500. The above-mentioned arrangement can make full use of the installation space of the driven seat 410.

[0045] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the driven wheel set 420 includes a first driven wheel 421 and a second driven wheel 422. The guiding portion 110 is a guiding concave portion provided on the mounting base frame 100. The first driven wheel 421 and the second driven wheel 422 are both rotatably installed on the driven seat 410, and the first driven wheel 421 and the second driven wheel 422 are arranged at an angle on the driven seat 410. The first driven wheel 421 is in guiding cooperation with the bottom of the guiding concave portion, and the second driven wheel 422 is in guiding cooperation with the side portion of the guiding concave portion. Specifically, the first driven wheel 421 and the second driven wheel 422 can adopt flexible wheels. For example: the first driven wheel 421 and the second driven wheel 422 are made of metal material inside and polyurethane material outside. Thus, the lifting of the tray mechanism 300 can be made smoother. The guiding portion 110 is a guiding concave portion provided on the mounting base frame 100 along the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 200. Among them, the bottom of the guiding concave portion is the side that the guiding concave portion is recessed into the mounting base frame 100, and the side portion of the guiding concave portion is the two side surfaces adjacent to the bottom. The above-mentioned implementation method can fully ensure the guiding cooperation effect between the driven wheel set 420 and the guiding portion 110, and reduce the risk of derailment of the driven wheel set 420 and the guiding portion 110.

[0046] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the tray mechanism 300 includes a tray rack 310 and an adapter rack 320. The tray rack 310 is used to mount the splicing rack. The adapter rack 320 is installed and cooperated with the tray rack 310. The driven seat 410 is installed and cooperated with the adapter rack 320 through the position adjustment component 500. Specifically, the adapter rack 320 and the tray rack 310 can be integrally formed or spliced during assembly, and an installation angle is formed between the adapter rack 320 and the tray rack 310, that is, the adapter rack 320 is adapted to the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 200. At this time, the tray rack 310 is in a horizontal state relative to the installation base frame 100, so that the splicing rack placed on the tray rack 310 can be horizontally placed on the tray rack 310 to realize lifting. Further, the adapter rack 320 extends along the lifting direction of the lifting mechanism 200 on the tray rack 310, and the adapter rack 320 is connected with the driven seat 410 through the position adjustment component 500 for position adjustment. In this embodiment, the position adjustment component 500 is a position adjustment bolt, a telescopic rod or a telescopic cylinder, etc. The driven mechanism 400 is a driven wheel, a transmission belt, etc. According to actual installation needs, the number of the required position adjustment components 500 and the driven mechanisms 400 can be flexibly selected. For example: two position adjustment components 500 are correspondingly installed with two driven mechanisms 400, and both two position adjustment components 500 are installed and cooperated with the adapter rack 320, so as to effectively improve the transmission stability between the tray mechanism 300 and the installation base frame 100. Furthermore, in order to improve the installation effect of the position adjustment component 500 and the adapter rack 320, an installation plate or an installation seat for installing and cooperating with the position adjustment component 500 can be added to the adapter rack 320.

[0047] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the position adjustment component 500 includes a position adjustment block 510 and a position adjustment part 520. The position adjustment block 510 is installed on the adapter rack 320. A position adjustment hole is provided on the position adjustment block 510. One end of the position adjustment part 520 passes through the position adjustment hole and is connected with the driven seat 410. Specifically, by changing the length of the position adjustment part 520 passing through the position adjustment hole, the distance between the adapter rack 320 and the installation base frame 100 can be changed. Further explanation, because when the driven mechanism 400 and the guiding part 110 are in guiding cooperation, the guiding part 110 has a guiding and limiting effect on the driven mechanism 400, so changing the length of the position adjustment part 520 passing through the position adjustment hole only adjusts the distance between the adapter rack 320 and the installation base frame 100. That is, by changing the position adjustment part 520, the length of the power arm from the tray mechanism 300 (adapter rack 320) to the installation base frame 100 is changed, so as to realize the horizontal adjustment of the tray rack 310. In addition, the position adjustment part 520 can be a position adjustment screw or a telescopic rod. When the position adjustment part 520 is a position adjustment screw, the position adjustment hole corresponds to a threaded hole.

[0048] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 200 includes a lift 210 and a transmission member 220. The transmission member 220 is wound around the drive end of the lift 210, and the transmission member 220 is in transmission engagement with the drive end of the lift 210. One end of the transmission member 220 is connected and cooperated with the tray mechanism 300. Specifically, the transmission member 220 is a transmission belt or a transmission chain. By the operation of the drive end of the lift 210, the transmission member 220 will perform corresponding transmission along with the drive end, thereby driving the tray mechanism 300 to lift. For example: when the lift 210 rotates forward, the transmission member 220 is transmitted in the rising direction of the lift 210 to achieve the upward movement of the tray mechanism 300. When the lift 210 rotates in reverse, the transmission member 220 is transmitted in the descending direction of the lift 210 to achieve the downward movement of the tray mechanism 300.

[0049] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 200 further includes a counterweight 230. The counterweight 230 and the tray mechanism 300 are respectively connected and fixed to both ends of the transmission member 220. Specifically, after the transmission member 220 is in transmission engagement with the drive end of the lift 210, one end of the transmission member 220 is connected to the counterweight 230, and the other end of the transmission member 220 is connected to the tray mechanism 300. At this time, the lifting direction of the lift 210 is adapted to the gravity direction of the counterweight 230, so that the tray mechanism 300 can move more smoothly when lifting and lowering along with the lift 210. Further, a guide groove or a guide rail for guiding and cooperating with the counterweight 230 is provided inside the installation base frame 100 to ensure the movement effect of the counterweight 230 during movement.

[0050] Combined with Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a conveying system includes the lifting and aligning device 10 as described above, and further includes a multi-layer conveying station 600. The lifting and aligning device 10 and the multi-layer conveying station 600 are liftably aligned and cooperated.

[0051] When the above-mentioned conveying system is in use, according to the usage requirements, the number of layers of the multi-layer conveying station 600 is determined (for example: it can be two layers or more than two layers). Place the corresponding docking components (such as: conveying rails or splicing frames for splicing) on the tray mechanism 300, and drive the tray mechanism 300 to lift through the lifting mechanism 200. At this time, the docking components can be lifted to a preset height to be spliced and aligned with the conveying stations of the corresponding layers. Further, the tray mechanism 300 and the driven mechanism 400 are adjusted through the positioning component 500. For example: by moving the driven mechanism 400 closer to or farther away from the tray mechanism 300, the inclination degree of the tray mechanism 300 relative to the mounting base 100 can be adjusted, so as to ensure that the tray mechanism 300 can be horizontally arranged relative to the mounting base 100, thereby ensuring the docking effect with the multi-layer conveying station 600.

[0052] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the splicing frame on the tray mechanism 300 is provided with a first docking member 311, and the end of the multi-layer conveying station 600 is provided with a second docking member 610, and the first docking member 311 is fixedly docked with the second docking member 610. Specifically, the first docking member 311 and the second docking member 610 can be docking seats or docking blocks. By docking the first docking member 311 with the second docking member 610, on the one hand, the conveying effect of the splicing frame and the multi-layer conveying station 600 is ensured, and on the other hand, it can also play an auxiliary supporting role for the tray structure at the target height.

[0053] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the first docking member 311 includes a first docking seat 312 and more than one docking wheel 313. The first docking seat 312 is installed on the splicing frame of the tray mechanism 300. A docking hole for docking with the second docking member 610 is provided on the first docking seat 312. More than one docking wheel 313 is installed on the first docking seat 312 along the circumferential direction of the docking hole. The docking wheel 313 is in rolling contact with the second docking member 610. The second docking member 610 includes a second docking seat 611, a docking driving element 612 and a docking pin 613. The second docking seat 611 is installed at the end of the multi-layer conveying station 600. The docking pin 613 is movably installed on the second docking seat 611. The docking driving element 612 is used to drive the docking pin 613 to move. The docking pin 613 passes through the docking hole to dock with the first docking seat 312, and the docking wheel 313 is in rolling contact with the docking pin 613. Specifically, the docking driving element 612 can be a motor or a cylinder.

The above-mentioned implementation effectively ensures the docking effect between the first docking member 311 and the second docking member 610.
