Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated transportation, and in particular to a rapid moving transport device and its arrangement structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of high-precision instruments and meters in my country, the assembly and production processes of these instruments and meters have strict requirements regarding environmental temperature, humidity, dust concentration, and air quality. However, the repeated transportation of product parts between two cleanrooms with different environments and processes can impact the cleanroom environment, thereby affecting the accuracy and performance of high-precision instruments and meters. Therefore, the transportation and transfer of product parts must not have a serious impact on environmental quality. To avoid affecting the layout design of the cleanroom and its environmental impact, commonly used intelligent transport vehicles (AGVs) and transport devices are not suitable and cannot meet the requirements of parts transfer under special working conditions.

[0003] In existing technologies, there are many designs for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and transport robots. However, these devices can only transport small batches of parts and cannot guarantee the environmental impact. AGVs cannot move between two cleanroom assembly rooms separated by partitions, and the continuous transport process of transport robots can still have a significant impact on the environment of different cleanroom assembly rooms. Therefore, to address the issue of the impact of parts transportation in cleanroom assembly rooms on the air quality of the cleanroom, this paper develops a rapid mobile transport device and its layout structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid moving transport device and its arrangement structure to solve the problems of low transport efficiency of handling parts and impact on the air quality of the clean assembly room in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a rapid moving transport device for transferring parts between two work areas, wherein the two work areas are separated by a partition wall, the rapid moving transport device comprising:

[0006] A mobile platform for placing parts to be transferred;

[0007] A transport unit is used to carry the mobile platform and drive the mobile platform to move horizontally.

[0008] Each of the two working areas separated by the partition wall is provided with a transport unit. The partition wall is provided with a conveying opening for the mobile platform to pass through. The transport unit located in the first working area can drive the mobile platform through the conveying opening and into the second working area.

[0009] The transport unit located in the second work area is capable of driving the mobile platform through the transfer opening and into the first work area.

[0010] Optionally, this solution utilizes a mobile platform to place the parts, and then uses a first support frame to move the mobile platform from the transfer opening in the partition wall to another clean assembly room to complete the transportation of the parts. This allows for the automatic transportation of product parts between different clean assembly rooms, effectively improving transportation efficiency and ensuring the environmental quality of the cleanroom.

[0011] Optionally, the transport unit includes a first support frame, which is disposed near the partition wall. The first support frame is provided with a first roller for supporting the mobile platform and a drive mechanism for driving the mobile platform to move laterally.

[0012] Optionally, the transport unit further includes a movable frame for supporting the mobile platform. The movable frame is located on the side of the first support frame away from the partition wall, and the movable frame can move closer to or away from the partition wall along the moving direction of the mobile platform.

[0013] Optionally, the mobile platform includes a platform body and a platform support. The platform body is horizontally arranged, and the platform support is arranged on the lower surface of the platform body. A rack and two slide rails are also provided below the platform support along the length direction of the mobile platform, and the rack is located between the two slide rails.

[0014] The first support frame includes a fixed frame and a drive unit. The fixed frame is set on the ground, and the drive unit is mounted on the corresponding fixed frame. The drive unit is a motor. The output shaft of the drive unit faces upward and is fixedly fitted with a drive gear. The drive gear meshes with the rack.

[0015] Optionally, the mobile frame is provided with auxiliary rollers for supporting the mobile platform, the lower end of the mobile frame is equipped with traveling wheels, and guide rails for the mobile frame to travel are provided in the working area. The mobile frame is supported on the guide rails by the traveling wheels.

[0016] The fixed frame is also provided with fixed rollers for supporting the mobile platform. The fixed rollers and the auxiliary rollers are located at the same horizontal height, and both the fixed rollers and the auxiliary rollers are in sliding contact with the corresponding slide rails.

[0017] Optionally, the mobile frame is further provided with a damping structure, and push blocks are provided at both ends of the mobile platform, with each push block corresponding to one of the damping structures;

[0018] When the mobile platform moves away from the conveying opening, the push block cooperates with the corresponding damping structure, and the mobile frame moves synchronously with the mobile platform.

[0019] When the mobile platform moves close to the conveying opening, and the mobile frame abuts against the corresponding first support frame, the damping structure disengages from the corresponding push block, and the mobile platform moves independently.

[0020] Optionally, the damping structure includes a stop block and a damping isolator, both of which are installed on the upper end of the movable frame. Each damping isolator is located between the partition wall and the corresponding stop block, and a mating area is formed between the stop block and the damping isolator.

[0021] The push block is fixed at both ends of the platform support, and the distance between the stop block and the isolation component and the platform support is less than the height of the push block.

[0022] Optionally, the damping isolator includes an upper hinge, a middle hinge, and a lower hinge that are hinged sequentially from top to bottom. The lower hinge is fixed to the upper end of the movable frame. Torsion springs are provided on the hinge shafts between the upper hinge, the middle hinge, and the lower hinge. The rotation directions of the upper hinge and the middle hinge are opposite to the rotation directions of the middle hinge and the lower hinge.

[0023] Optionally, the fixed frame is further provided with an electromagnetic lock, which faces the corresponding movable frame;

[0024] Optionally, the movable frame is further provided with an electromagnetic suction block on the side facing the fixed frame, and the electromagnetic lock cooperates with the electromagnetic suction block.

[0025] A clean assembly room layout includes two clean assembly rooms separated by a partition wall, each of which forms a work area, and also includes a rapid transport device as described above, which is used for the mutual transfer of parts between the two clean assembly rooms.

[0026] As described above, the rapid moving transport device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: it can use the first support frame set in the two clean assembly chambers to transfer the moving platform from the transfer opening in the partition wall, thereby completing the transfer of parts placed on the moving platform, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation, reducing the contact between the clean assembly chamber and the outside world during the handling process, and ensuring the environmental quality in the clean workshop.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the illustration, this embodiment demonstrates a rapid moving transport device for transferring parts between two work areas, including:

[0056] A mobile platform for placing parts;

[0057] The transport unit is used to drive the mobile platform to move horizontally.

[0058] The transport unit includes two first support frames, and a partition wall 1 is provided between the two first support frames for separation. The partition wall 1 is provided with a conveying opening. Either first support frame can drive the mobile platform through the conveying opening to reach the other side of the partition wall. The first support frame can be used to quickly transport the mobile platform on both sides of the partition wall.

[0059] In one embodiment, a partition door is also provided on the conveying opening to open or close the conveying opening, thereby reducing the contact time between the two clean assembly chambers and ensuring the environmental quality of the clean assembly chambers.

[0060] In one embodiment, the transport unit includes a first support frame disposed near the partition wall 1, the first support frame being provided with a first roller for supporting the mobile platform, and a drive mechanism for driving the mobile platform to move laterally;

[0061] In one embodiment, the transport unit further includes a movable frame 5 for supporting the mobile platform. The movable frame 5 is located on the side of the first support frame away from the partition wall 1, and the movable frame 5 can move closer to or away from the partition wall 1 along the moving direction of the mobile platform.

[0062] In one embodiment, the mobile frame 5 is provided with auxiliary rollers for supporting the mobile platform, the lower end of the mobile frame 5 is equipped with traveling wheels, and guide rails for the movement of the mobile frame are provided in the working area. The mobile frame 5 is supported on the guide rails by the traveling wheels.

[0063] The fixed frame 3a is also provided with fixed rollers for supporting the mobile platform. The fixed rollers and the auxiliary rollers are located at the same horizontal height, and both the fixed rollers and the auxiliary rollers are in sliding contact with the corresponding slide rails 2d.

[0064] In one embodiment, the movable frame 5 is also provided with a damping structure, and push blocks 33 are provided at both ends of the movable platform. The push blocks 33 correspond one-to-one with the damping structures to ensure that when the push blocks 33 and the corresponding damping structures cooperate with each other, the movable frame 5 can move with the movable platform to ensure support for the movable platform.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the mobile platform moves away from the conveying opening, the push block 33 cooperates with the corresponding damping structure, and the mobile frame 5 moves synchronously with the mobile platform.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the mobile platform moves close to the conveyor opening, when the mobile frame abuts against the corresponding first support frame, the damping structure disengages from the corresponding push block, and the mobile platform moves independently.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mobile platform includes a platform body 2a and a platform support 2b. The platform body 2a is horizontally positioned, and the platform support 2b is positioned on the lower surface of the platform body 2a. A rack 2c and two slide rails 2d are also provided below the platform support 2b along the length direction of the mobile platform. The rack 2c is located between the two slide rails 2d.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first support frame includes a fixed frame 3a and a drive unit 3b. The fixed frame 3a is set on the ground, and the drive unit 3b is mounted on the corresponding fixed frame 3a. The drive unit 3b is a motor. The output shaft of the drive unit 3b faces upward and is fixedly fitted with a drive gear. The drive gear meshes with the rack 2c. The moving platform is driven to move horizontally by the forward and reverse rotation of the drive unit 3b.

[0069] In one embodiment, the damping structure includes a stop block 6 and a damping isolator. Both the stop block 6 and the damping isolator are installed on the upper end of the moving frame 5. Any damping isolator is located between the partition wall 1 and the corresponding stop block 6. A mating area is formed between the stop block 6 and the damping isolator. When the push block 33 is located between the stop block 6 and the damping isolator, the moving platform and the moving frame 5 form a mating relationship, and the moving platform moves synchronously with the moving frame 5.

[0070] In one embodiment, the push block 33 is fixed at both ends of the platform support 2b, and the distance between the stop block 6 and the isolation member 7 and the platform support 2b is less than the height of the push block 33.

[0071] In one embodiment, the damping isolator includes an upper hinge 7a, a middle hinge 7b, and a lower hinge 7c that are hinged sequentially from top to bottom. The lower hinge 7c is fixed to the upper end of the movable frame 5. Torsion springs are provided on the hinge shafts between the upper hinge 7a, the middle hinge 7b, and the lower hinge 7c. The rotation directions of the upper hinge 7a and the middle hinge 7b are opposite to those of the middle hinge 7b and the lower hinge 7c. When the push block 33 approaches the damping isolator from the left and right sides, the upper hinge 7a or the upper hinge 7a and the middle hinge 7b rotate under the push of the push block 33, so that the push block 33 can pass through the damping isolator.

[0072] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 3a is also provided with an electromagnetic lock 3c, which faces the corresponding movable frame 5 to position the movable frame 5.

[0073] The movable frame 5 is also provided with an electromagnetic suction block 5c on the side facing the corresponding fixed frame 3a. The electromagnetic lock 3c and the electromagnetic suction block 5c cooperate with each other so that when the push block 33 abuts against the upper hinge 7a, the movable frame 5 will not be displaced and the push block 33 can effectively pass through the damping isolation component.

[0074] In one embodiment, the upper end face of the fixed frame 3a is also provided with a number of fixed rollers. All fixed rollers are located at the edge of the upper end face of the fixed frame 3a, and the rolling direction of all fixed rollers is the same as the moving direction of the moving platform. When the moving platform moves in the process of the drive gear and rack 2c cooperating, the fixed rollers are used to assist the movement of the moving platform and improve the smoothness.

[0075] In one embodiment, the upper end of the mobile frame 5 is also provided with a number of auxiliary rollers. The rolling direction of all auxiliary rollers is the same as the moving direction of the mobile platform, so that when the mobile platform passes over the mobile frame 5, the mobile platform and the mobile frame 5 can slide using the auxiliary rollers.

[0076] In one embodiment, the fixed roller and the auxiliary roller are located at the same horizontal height, and both the fixed roller and the auxiliary roller are in sliding contact with the corresponding slide rail 2d.

[0077] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 3a is also provided with a controller 17 for controlling the corresponding drive unit 3b to rotate forward or backward, and for controlling the mobile platform to move from left to right or from right to left.

[0078] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 3a is also provided with a proximity switch sensor, and the moving platform is also provided with a sensing block that cooperates with the proximity switch sensor. After receiving the position signal of the sensing block, the proximity switch sensor determines whether the electromagnetic lock 3c is energized or de-energized, ensuring that the moving frame 5 can be unlocked in time. After the damping structure and the push block 33 cooperate, the moving frame 5 can move with the moving platform.

[0079] In one embodiment, the partition door provided on the conveying opening is an automatic sensor door. When the moving platform approaches the automatic sensor door, the automatic sensor door opens automatically. After the transportation of the parts is completed, the automatic sensor door is closed in time to reduce the impact on the air environment in the clean assembly room.

[0080] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 3a is also provided with a proximity switch sensor, and the moving platform is also provided with a sensing block that cooperates with the proximity switch sensor. The proximity switch sensor is used to control the power supply or de-energization between the electromagnetic lock 3c and the electromagnetic suction block 5c.

[0081] Example 2:

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown, one embodiment also discloses a clean assembly room layout structure, including two clean assembly rooms separated by a partition wall 1, each of the clean assembly rooms forming a work area, and also including the rapid transport device described in embodiment 1, which is used for the mutual transfer of parts between the two clean assembly rooms.

[0083] In use, the part is placed on the upper surface of the platform body 2a, and the controller 17 is used to control the moving platform to start moving horizontally. As the moving platform approaches the conveying opening, the moving frame 5 abuts against the first support frame. The moving platform continues to move under the action of the drive unit 3b, and the push block 33 will squeeze the upper hinge 7a, causing the upper hinge 7a to rotate and move (e.g., Figure 6(as shown in the diagram), causing the movable frame 5 to disengage from the synchronous movement of the movable platform. When the movable platform reaches the other side of the partition wall 1 through the conveying opening, the electromagnetic lock 3c and the electromagnetic suction block 5c are energized, causing the other movable frame 5 to remain fixed to the corresponding first support frame. The push block of the movable platform contacts the damping isolator, and the hinge 7b in the upper hinge 7a rotates and moves away simultaneously (as shown in the diagram). Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, push block 33 enters between the corresponding stop block 6 and damping isolator. At the same time, proximity switch sensor identifies the position signal of the sensing block on the moving platform and controls the electromagnetic lock 3c to disconnect from the electromagnetic suction block 5c. During the movement of the moving platform, push block 33 abuts against the corresponding stop block 6, driving the corresponding moving frame 5 to move, ensuring effective support for the moving platform during transportation.

[0084] The advantages of this embodiment are that it enables the mobile platform to quickly pass through the conveyor opening between two clean assembly chambers, improving transportation efficiency and ensuring the environmental quality of the clean workshop. Simultaneously, it cleverly utilizes the position of the mobile platform, employing a push block 33 and a damping structure to ensure that the mobile frame 5 effectively supports the mobile platform during movement. When the mobile platform is not in use, the mobile frame 5 can be fixed by the cooperation of the electromagnetic lock 3c and the electromagnetic suction block 5c, reducing the floor space occupied and providing positioning and fixation for the mobile frame 5. When the mobile platform arrives and cooperates with the damping structure of the mobile frame 5, the lock on the mobile frame 5 is promptly released, ensuring that the mobile frame 5 can slide smoothly with the mobile platform and provide stable support.

[0085] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
