Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present specification relate to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a lifting device, a mechanical manufacturing system and a material conveying method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to meet the rapidly growing production demand, the mechanical manufacturing system tends to be developed in an automated manner. The automated mechanical manufacturing system usually needs to cooperate with multiple mechanical devices, but due to the differences in specifications of the devices in the mechanical manufacturing system, there is a height difference in the vertical direction between the devices. In consideration of the cost of device replacement, a lifting device is usually used for transfer, so as to convey materials from one height position to another height position.

[0003] In the existing automated mechanical manufacturing system, when the lifting device conveys materials to the mechanical device of the next process (i.e., the rear-end device), it is usually necessary to control the mechanical device of the previous process (i.e., the front-end device) to stop its action of outputting materials, so as to prevent the materials from falling empty. After the lifting device is reset, the front-end device is started, and the lifting device continues to receive the materials output by the front-end device.

[0004] The conveying efficiency of the lifting device affects the production efficiency of the mechanical manufacturing system. In order to improve the conveying efficiency of the lifting device, the current main methods are to increase the single load capacity of the lifting device and / or to increase the conveying speed of the lifting device. Although these methods can solve the problem of the conveying efficiency of the lifting device, they increase the risk of material damage (such as material falling, extrusion, etc.) and energy consumption (such as using a motor with higher load capacity, running the motor at full load, etc.), and the implementation effect is not ideal.

[0056] As described in the background, the existing methods for improving the conveying efficiency of the lifting device increase the risk of material damage and energy consumption, and the implementation effect is not ideal.

[0057] To solve the above problems, the present specification provides a lifting device, which can include a moving mechanism and a limiting mechanism. Further, the moving mechanism can include a fixed part and a moving part. The moving part reciprocates in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part, moves to the second position after carrying the material output by the front-end device at the first position, and resets after the carried material is taken away. The limiting mechanism is adapted to be linked with the moving part to resist the material from the front-end device when the moving part is not at the first position.

[0058] Therefore, through the linkage relationship between the moving part of the moving mechanism and the limiting mechanism, the front-end device does not need to stop outputting the material during the conveying of the material by the lifting device, so that the limiting mechanism can effectively utilize the time of the moving mechanism conveying the material to prepare the material, shorten the waiting time of the lifting device, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the lifting device and reducing the risk of material damage and energy consumption, so that the lifting device has better working performance. Moreover, the lifting device provided by the present specification has simple structure, easy implementation, and high universality, which is convenient for size adjustment according to actual application scenarios.

[0059] In specific implementation, according to actual application scenarios and requirements, the corresponding first position and the second position can be set in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part.

[0060] It should be noted that in the description of this specification, the prefixes "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. These can be adjusted as appropriate. For example, the moving part can move upward from a first position to a second position and then reset in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part; or, for another example, the moving part can move downward from a first position to a second position and then reset in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part. The embodiments in this specification do not limit the specific settings of the first and second positions in different scenarios.

[0061] Furthermore, the prefixes “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0062] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the operation of the lifting equipment, the following illustrative description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

[0063] In one embodiment of this specification, as Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a lifting device in an embodiment of this specification when waiting for materials. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting device during material transport. (Refer to reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting device E1 may include: a moving mechanism 11 and a limiting mechanism 12, wherein:

[0064] The movable mechanism 11 may include a fixed part 111 and a movable part 112; the movable part 112 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the fixed part 111 to carry the front-end device in a first position. Figure 1 and Figure 2 After the material WL1 output by the output component D11 of the front-end device is shown, it moves upward to the second position and resets downward after the material WL1 it carries is removed.

[0065] The limiting mechanism 12 is linked to the moving part 112; when the moving part 112 is not in the first position, that is, during the process of the moving part 112 moving upward or resetting downward, the limiting mechanism 12 can block the material subsequently output from the output component D11.

[0066] In one embodiment of this specification, as Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another lifting device in an embodiment of this specification when waiting for materials. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting device during material transport. (Refer to reference...)Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lifting device E2 can comprise a moving mechanism 21 and a limiting mechanism 22, wherein:

[0067] The moving mechanism 21 can comprise a fixed part 211 and a moving part 212; the moving part 212 reciprocates in a vertical direction relative to the fixed part 211 to carry the material WL2 output by the output component D21 of the front-end device (only the output component D21 of the front-end device is shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 downward to the second position after carrying the material WL2, and upward to reset after the carried material WL2 is taken away;

[0068] The limiting mechanism 22 is linked with the moving part 212; when the moving part 212 is not in the first position, i.e. during the downward movement or upward reset of the moving part 212, the limiting mechanism 22 can resist the material output subsequently by the output component D11.

[0069] In specific implementations, according to actual application scenarios and requirements, the lifting device can be fixed with a main body such as the ground, the base, other devices (such as the front-end device), etc. Further, different parts of the lifting device can be fixed with different main bodies. The fixing methods include non-detachable fixing and detachable fixing. The embodiments of the present specification do not limit the fixed main body of the lifting device and the fixed main body of each part of the lifting device.

[0070] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The moving mechanism 11 of the lifting device E1 is fixed to the ground, and the limiting mechanism 12 of the lifting device E1 is fixed to the output component D11 of the front-end device. For another example, referring to Figure 5 , which is a structural schematic diagram of another lifting device, compared with the lifting device E1 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lifting device E3 has the same or similar structures as the moving mechanism 21, the fixed part 311, the moving part 312, the limiting mechanism 32, etc. The specific contents of the structures, connection relationships, functions, working principles, etc. can refer to the description of the telescopic component 121 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which will not be described here. The difference between the lifting device E1 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 is that, in the lifting device E3 shown in Figure 5 , the limiting mechanism 32 is fixed to the fixed part 311 of the moving mechanism 31, and the limiting mechanism 32 and the output component D31 of the front-end device are connected.

[0071] In specific implementations, the limiting mechanism can be connected with other main bodies through adjustable components, further enhancing the universality. For example, inFigure 5 In specific embodiments, the limiting mechanism 32 is connected with the fixing part 311 through adjustable parts 32a and 32b, so that the limiting mechanism 32 can adapt to the output part D31 of different height positions, and has stronger universality. The adjustable parts can be selected according to specific application scenarios and requirements, such as adjustable studs, telescopic fixing rods, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0072] In specific embodiments, the limiting mechanism can change with the movement of the moving part due to the linkage relationship between the moving part of the movable mechanism and the limiting mechanism. In order to enable the moving part to carry the next material more quickly, when the moving part gradually approaches the first position during the resetting process, the limiting mechanism can gradually weaken the resistance degree to the material subsequently output by the front-end device, so that the moving part gradually replaces the limiting mechanism to resist the material subsequently output by the front-end device during the resetting process, and when the moving part is repositioned at the first position, the material subsequently output by the front-end device is no longer blocked and moves to the moving part, so that the moving part carries the next material.

[0073] In specific embodiments, the limiting mechanism can include a telescopic part adapted to bear the force of the moving part in the first position and reset when the moving part moves to resist the material from the front-end device. The telescopic function of the telescopic part can be achieved by elastic connection, piston structure, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific structure of the telescopic part.

[0074] Taking the lifting device E1 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 for example, the limiting mechanism 12 includes a telescopic part 121, which bears the extrusion of the moving part 112 in the first position and is in a deformed state, and when the moving part 112 moves upward, the telescopic part 121 rebounds upward due to the rebounding effect and resets, and the telescopic part 121 forms a block to the output port of the output part D11 of the front-end device during the upward rebounding process, and limits the material subsequently output by the front-end device. When the moving part 112 resets, the telescopic part 121 shrinks downward under the pressure of the moving part 112 and gradually weakens the resistance degree to the material subsequently output by the front-end device, until the movable mechanism 11 is in the first position, and the telescopic part 121 stops deforming.

[0075] Taking the lifting device E1 shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the lifting device E2, the limiting mechanism 22 includes a telescopic component 221 having a piston structure, when the moving part 212 is in the first position, the movable part of the telescopic component 221 is supported by the moving part 212, when the moving part 212 moves downward, the telescopic component 221 moves downward due to gravity and resets, and in the process of moving downward and resetting, the telescopic component 221 blocks the output port of the output component D21 of the front-end device and limits the subsequent output material of the front-end device. When the moving part 212 resets, the movable part of the telescopic component 221 is supported by the moving part 212 and moves upward, gradually weakening the resistance to the subsequent output material of the front-end device, until the movable mechanism 11 is in the first position, and the telescopic component 221 stops moving.

[0076] It should be noted that other lifting devices provided by the embodiments of the present application can also have the same or similar telescopic components, such as Figure 5 As shown in the telescopic component 321, the structure, connection relationship, function, working principle and other specific contents thereof can be referred to the description of the telescopic component 121 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and details are not repeated here.

[0077] In specific implementation, the telescopic component can be in separable contact with the moving part, and the telescopic component can be separated from the moving part before the moving part moves to the second position, thereby reducing the influence of the front-end device and the telescopic component on the moving part and improving the stability of the moving part. For example, as shown in Figure 2 , the telescopic component 121 is separated from the moving part 112 during the movement of the moving part 112; and as shown in Figure 4 , the telescopic component 221 is separated from the moving part 212 during the movement of the moving part 212.

[0078] In specific implementation, the telescopic component can include a plurality of telescopic sub-components, each of the telescopic sub-components is linked, and at least one of the telescopic sub-components is adapted to be in separable contact with the moving part, wherein each of the telescopic sub-components can be linked through an intermediate medium.

[0079] For example, as shown in Figure 1 and 2As shown, the telescopic component 121 can include two telescopic sub-components, i.e. telescopic sub-component 121-1 and telescopic sub-component 121-2, the telescopic sub-component 121-1 is not in contact with the moving component 112, while the telescopic sub-component 121-2 is placed below the moving component 112 and is in separable contact with the moving component 112. In addition, the telescopic component 121 can also include a connecting rod 121-a, which is arranged between the telescopic sub-component 121-1 and the telescopic sub-component 121-2, so that the telescopic sub-component 121-1 and the telescopic sub-component 121-2 can be linked.

[0080] For example, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 , the telescopic component 221 includes two telescopic sub-components, i.e. telescopic sub-component 221-1 and telescopic sub-component 221-2, both of which are placed above the moving component 212 and are in separable contact with the moving component 212. In addition, the telescopic sub-component 221-1 and the telescopic sub-component 221-2 are linked by the plate 212-a of the moving component 212.

[0081] In specific implementations, the components of the telescopic sub-component can be selected according to the application environment and requirements. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on the components of the telescopic sub-component.

[0082] For example, the telescopic sub-component can include a stop pin and a spring connected with the stop pin, wherein the spring can be connected with the stop pin or can be sleeved on the stop pin.

[0083] For example, the telescopic sub-component is a piston structure, and the movable part of the telescopic sub-component is provided with a limiting sub-component to limit the limit position of the movable part of the telescopic sub-component, which can be specifically referred to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting rod between the movable part of the telescopic sub-component 221-1 and the movable part of the telescopic sub-component 221-2 is also moved downward when the movable part of the telescopic sub-component 221-1 and the movable part of the telescopic sub-component 221-2 are moved downward, and then the connecting rod is blocked, which in turn prevents the telescopic sub-component 221-1 and the telescopic sub-component 221-2 from moving downward, thereby limiting the upper part of the telescopic sub-component 221-1 and the upper part of the telescopic sub-component 221-2.

[0084] In specific implementations, in order to limit the movement direction of the telescopic component, the limiting mechanism can also include a clamping component adapted to fix the telescopic component. For example, in Figures 1 to 5In the specific implementation, the movable part can include an executing part and a positioning part, wherein the positioning part is adapted to carry and stabilize the material, and the executing part is adapted to provide power to drive the positioning part and the material carried thereby to move in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part and to reset the positioning part after the carried material is taken away.

[0085] In the specific implementation, the movable part can include an executing part and a positioning part, wherein the positioning part is adapted to carry and stabilize the material, and the executing part is adapted to provide power to drive the positioning part and the material carried thereby to move in the vertical direction relative to the fixed part and to reset the positioning part after the carried material is taken away.

[0086] In the specific implementation, when the movable part of the movable mechanism is in the first position, the highest horizontal line of the positioning part can be lower than the lowest horizontal line of the output end of the front-end device, so as to facilitate receiving the material.

[0087] In the specific implementation, the side of the positioning part in contact with the material can be a concave surface, so as to improve the carrying stability; and the positioning part is also adapted to, in the resetting process, replace the limiting mechanism to resist the material from the front-end device. For details, refer to the description of the related part above, which will not be repeated here.

[0088] In the specific implementation, in order to improve the stability and carrying capacity of the movable part, the movable part can further include an extension support connected with the executing part and the positioning part, and adapted to increase the contact area and share the stress.

[0089] In actual application, the components of the movable part can be selected according to the application environment and requirements. For example, the executing part can include a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder; the positioning part can include a V-block; and the extension support can include an extension rod and a fixing member for connecting the extension rod with other components. The embodiments of the present specification do not limit the components of the movable part.

[0090] For example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the executing part 112-1 can include a pneumatic cylinder. The positioning part 112-2 can include two V-blocks (not indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ). The extension support 112-3 can include two extension rods (not indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) and a fixing member (not indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the fixed support can be composed of several plates, the telescopic rod can be connected with the piston rod of the air cylinder, and the telescopic rod can be connected with the two V-shaped blocks.

[0091] It can be understood that, Figures 3 to 5 The lifting device shown also includes structures similar to those of the lifting device shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The execution component 212-1, the positioning component 212-2, and the telescopic component 212-3 in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , and the execution component 312-1, the positioning component 312-2, and the telescopic component 312-3 in Figure 5 have similar structures, connection relationships, functions, and working principles, which can be referred to the corresponding content descriptions in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and will not be described here.

[0092] In specific implementations, according to the size of the material, the material can also be in contact with the telescopic sub-piece when it is in contact with the moving part. At this time, the material center of gravity can be projected on the contact surface of the moving part instead of the contact surface of the telescopic sub-piece through structural adjustment, so as to ensure that the carried material remains balanced during the movement of the moving part and is not easy to fall off. For example, the material WL1 can be placed in the two V-shaped blocks and the telescopic sub-piece 121-1 in the positioning component 112-2, and the material center of gravity of the material WL1 can be projected on the contact surface of the moving part by adjusting the distance between the two V-shaped blocks, so as to ensure that the material WL1 can remain balanced on the two V-shaped blocks. Figure 1 Figure 2

[0093] In specific implementations, the material is output from the front-end device at a certain speed. In order to better connect with the front-end device, the lifting device can further include a transmission mechanism adapted to transmit the material output by the front-end device to the moving part. Correspondingly, the limiting mechanism is adapted to resist the material from the transmission mechanism when the movable part is not in the first position.

[0094] Specifically, the transmission mechanism can include a transmission track, the first end of which is connected with the output end of the front-end device, and the second end of which is directed towards the moving part. According to specific scenarios and requirements, the connection mode can include hinging and fitting, etc., which is not limited in the present specification.

[0095] In specific implementations, according to specific scenarios and requirements, the transmission track of the corresponding accommodation space is selected, or the accommodation space of the transmission track is adjusted to adapt to the size of different types of materials, and to enable the front-end device to continuously output a larger number of materials. The way to adjust the accommodation space of the transmission track can include length adjustment, width adjustment, and height adjustment. ​​

[0096] In practical implementation, in order to increase the flexibility of the transmission track and reduce the risk of material damage, the transmission mechanism may also include: a movable support, adapted to be connected to the transmission track, which can adjust the inclination of the transmission track to slow down the movement speed of the material.

[0097] The movable support can be selected according to specific application scenarios and requirements. For example, the movable support may include a support rod, an adjustable stud, a telescopic fixing rod, a hanging rod, etc. This specification does not impose specific limitations on this aspect in the embodiments.

[0098] In practical implementation, in order to prevent materials from slipping when leaving the conveying mechanism and to increase the safety and reliability of the conveying process, the conveying mechanism may also include: a baffle, adapted to the output end of the conveying track, which can limit the two ends of the material.

[0099] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the operation of lifting equipment with transmission rails, the following illustrative description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

[0100] In one embodiment of this specification, as Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another lifting device in an embodiment of this specification when waiting for materials. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting device during material transport. (Refer to reference...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 The lifting device E4 may include: a moving mechanism 41, a limiting mechanism 42, and a transmission mechanism 43; wherein:

[0101] The movable mechanism 41 may include: a fixed part 411 and a moving part 412, wherein the moving part 412 may include an actuating part 412-1, a positioning part 412-2 and a telescopic part 412-3;

[0102] The limiting mechanism 42 may include: a telescopic component 421 and a locking component 422. The telescopic component may include a telescopic sub-component 421-1, a telescopic sub-component 421-2 and a connecting rod 421-a.

[0103] The transmission mechanism 43 may include: a transmission track 431, a movable support 43A, a movable support 43B, a baffle 43a, and a baffle 43b.

[0104] The first end of the transmission track 431 is hinged to the output end of the front-end device (not shown), and the second end of the transmission track 431 faces the positioning component 412-2. The inclination of the transmission track 431 is adjusted by the movable brackets 43A and 43B to decelerate the material.

[0105] When waiting for the material, the moving part 412 in the activity mechanism 41 is in the first position, the concave surface of the V-shaped block in the positioning part 412-2 is lower than the surface in the transmission track 431 for transmitting the material; the positioning part 412-2 extrudes the telescopic sub-piece 421-2, the stop pin in the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 is pressed downward and the spring in the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 under pressure is in a deformed state; since the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 and the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 are connected through the connecting rod 421-a, when the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 is extruded, the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 is extruded following the telescopic sub-piece 421-2, the stop pin in the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 is pressed downward and the spring in the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 under pressure is in a deformed state.

[0106] When the material WL4 is output from the front-end device, the material WL4 is decelerated in the transmission track 431 and moves to the concave surface of the V-shaped block in the positioning part 412-2 and the stop pin of the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 at a relatively slow speed. The elasticity of the telescopic sub-pieces 421-1 and 421-2 also provides a certain buffer for the falling of the material WL4.

[0107] Then, the cylinder in the control execution part 412-1 is started, the cylinder provides power to drive the telescopic part 412-3 and the positioning part 412-2 carrying the material WL4 to rise, that is, the moving part 412 moves upward from the first position.

[0108] During the movement of the moving part 412, the springs and stop pins in the telescopic sub-pieces 421-1 and 421-2 also rebound upward due to the rebound effect. The stop pins in the telescopic sub-pieces 421-1 and 421-2 form a barrier to the output port of the output part D11 of the front-end device during the upward rebounding process, and limit the subsequent output material of the front-end device.

[0109] When the moving part 412 moves to the second position, the cylinder in the control execution part 412-1 is stopped, and after the material WL4 is taken away, the cylinder in the control execution part 412-1 is started, the cylinder provides power to drive the telescopic part 412-3 and the positioning part 412-2 to descend, that is, the moving part 412 resets downward from the second position.

[0110] During the downward resetting of the moving part 412, the positioning component 412-2 again presses the telescopic sub-piece 421-2, the stop pin in the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 is pressed downward, and the spring in the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 is in a deformed state under pressure, and then the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 is pressed following the telescopic sub-piece 421-2. The stop pins in the telescopic sub-pieces 421-1 and 421-2 gradually weaken the resistance to the subsequent output of the material from the front-end equipment. In addition, the positioning component 412-2 can also replace the telescopic sub-piece 421-1 to resist the material from the front-end equipment following the telescopic sub-piece 421-2 until the moving part 412 is in the first position, and the cylinder in the control execution component 412-1 stops.

[0111] After the moving part 412 completes the resetting, the above operation process can continue to circulate. Herein, no further description is given.

[0112] It can be understood that the above-described embodiments provide various implementation schemes, each of which can be combined with each other without conflict, cross-referenced, and extended to various possible implementation schemes, which can be considered as the implementation schemes disclosed and disclosed by the embodiments of the present specification.

[0113] The present specification also provides a mechanical manufacturing system corresponding to the lifting device described in any of the above embodiments, which is described below. It should be noted that the content of the mechanical manufacturing system described below can be mutually corresponding and referred to with the content of the lifting device described above.

[0114] In specific implementation, the mechanical manufacturing system provided by the embodiments of the present specification can include:

[0115] The front-end equipment is suitable for processing and / or transmitting the material.

[0116] The lifting device is suitable for transmitting the material output by the front-end equipment. The structure, connection relationship, function, working principle, etc. of the lifting device can be referred to the above related content description and drawings, and no further description is given herein.

[0117] The use of the above lifting device in the mechanical manufacturing system can shorten the waiting time of the material, improve the transmission efficiency, reduce the risk of material damage, and reduce energy consumption, and has better working performance. In addition, the lifting device has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is easy to adjust the size according to the actual application scene, and has high universality. Therefore, without increasing the structural complexity of the mechanical manufacturing system, the overall production efficiency of the mechanical manufacturing system can be improved.

[0118] In specific implementation, the mechanical manufacturing system can also include a back-end equipment suitable for processing and / or transmitting the material transmitted by the lifting device.

[0119] In practical applications, a mechanical manufacturing system often needs a large space for laying. Since the lifting device provided in the embodiments of the present specification can play a transfer role in the vertical direction, in order to save space and construction cost, the longitudinal space of the mechanical manufacturing system can be rearranged according to the specific application scene and the actual structure of the mechanical manufacturing system, so that part of the equipment can be staggered in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the automatic operation of the mechanical manufacturing system while effectively reducing the horizontal space of the mechanical manufacturing system and reducing the construction cost.

[0120] In order to make those skilled in the art more clearly understand the operation process of the lifting device, the following will be described by specific examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present specification, as shown in Figure 8 , it is a structural schematic diagram of a mechanical manufacturing system. The mechanical manufacturing system XT1 can include a first conveying device 01, a second conveying device 02, a processing device 03 and a lifting device 04. Wherein, the specific structure of the first conveying device 01 is as shown in Figure 9 , the specific structure of the second conveying device 02 is as shown in Figure 10 , the specific structure of the processing device 03 is as shown in Figure 11 , and the structure, connection relationship, function and working principle of the lifting device 04 can be referred to the above related description and drawings, which will not be repeated here. In combination with reference to Figures 8 to 11 , in the mechanical manufacturing system XT1:

[0122] The first conveying device 01 is suitable for conveying materials to the lifting device 04.

[0123] The lifting device 04 is suitable for conveying the materials output by the first conveying device 01 to the processing device 03.

[0124] The processing device 03 is suitable for processing the materials.

[0125] The second conveying device 04 is suitable for conveying the processed materials to a designated storage location.

[0126] Wherein, the first conveying device 01 and the second conveying device 02 are staggered in the conveying direction relative to the lifting device 04, and both can use a common set of support components.

[0127] As can be seen, the material can be lifted from the first conveying device at a lower position to the processing device at a higher position for processing and stored through the second conveying device at the upper layer of the first conveying device by the transfer of the lifting device in the vertical direction, which effectively reduces the horizontal space of the mechanical manufacturing system; and since the first conveying device and the second conveying device can use the same set of support components, the construction cost is reduced.

[0128] It can be understood that the mechanical manufacturing system in actual application can also include other devices, for example, in Figure 8 , the mechanical manufacturing system XT1 can also include a third conveying device 05, and the specific structure of the third conveying device 05 is as shown in Figure 12 . The present specification does not make specific limitations on the devices actually included in the mechanical manufacturing system.

[0129] The present specification also provides a material conveying method corresponding to the lifting device described in any of the above embodiments, which is described below. It should be noted that the content of the material conveying method described below can be mutually corresponding and referred to the content of the lifting device described above.

[0130] In specific implementation, as Figure 9 shown, a flowchart of a material conveying method of an embodiment of the present specification can be applied to the lifting device described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the specific content of the structure, connection relationship, function, working principle, etc. of the lifting device can be referred to the above related description, which will not be described here.

[0131] Referring to Figure 9 , the lifting device can use the following material conveying method to convey the material:

[0132] S11, when the mobile part carries the material output by the front-end device at the first position, the mobile part is controlled to move and convey the material from the first position to the second position;

[0133] S12, obtaining the material at the second position;

[0134] S13, controlling the mobile part to reset;

[0135] S14, when the mobile part is not at the first position, the material from the front-end device is resisted by the linkage limiting mechanism.

[0136] From the above, through the linkage relationship between the moving part of the movable mechanism and the limiting mechanism in the lifting device, the front-end device does not need to stop outputting materials during the lifting device conveying materials, so that the limiting mechanism can effectively utilize the time of the movable mechanism conveying materials to prepare materials, shorten the waiting time of the lifting device for materials, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the lifting device, reducing the risk of material damage and energy consumption, and making the lifting device have better working performance.

[0137] It should be noted that the steps S14 and S12-S13 in the above embodiment do not necessarily have a sequence of execution, and the step S14 can be executed in parallel with the steps S12-S13, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0138] It should be noted that in the description of the present specification, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms in the present specification can be understood according to different application scenarios. For example, the verb "connect" can be understood as fixed connection, detachable connection, rotary connection, integral connection, etc. For example, the noun "material" can be understood as all articles related to product production, such as raw materials, auxiliary articles, semi-finished products, finished products, etc. For example, the verb "move" can be understood as rolling, sliding, etc. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the text can be understood according to the specific situation.

[0139] In addition, in the description of the present specification, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "below" the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the first feature "on" the second feature can include that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only means that the first feature is higher than the second feature. The first feature "below" the second feature can include that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only means that the first feature is lower than the second feature.

[0140] Although the present embodiment discloses as above, the present embodiment is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present embodiment, and therefore the protection scope of the present embodiment should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
