Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of automotive parts assembly equipment, and relates to an operation method for a lifting and transferring device for a shipping line. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and logistics handling of automotive parts, the transport of items is usually carried out through the shipping line conveyor. When transferring items between conveyor lines at different heights, it is generally necessary to use a lifting and transfer device that can raise the items and transfer them, and can also change the direction of the product transport.

[0003] Existing lifting and transfer devices mostly use a single cylinder to vertically lift a transfer panel. The imperfection is that when the transfer panel is carrying a heavy product, it is prone to back-to-back or left-to-right movement, causing the object's position to shift and affecting the product's conveying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an operating method for a lifting and transferring device on a shipping line, in order to solve the problem that in the prior art, the lifting and transferring device is prone to back-to-back or left-to-right movement when the transfer panel is carrying a heavy product, which causes the object's position to shift and affects the product's conveying efficiency.

[0005] An operating method for a lifting and transferring device for a shipping line includes a frame, a lifting assembly, a transferring assembly, and an anti-deviation assembly. The lifting assembly is located on the top of the frame, and the transferring assembly is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly drives the transferring assembly to move upward to extend out of the gap in the shipping line. The transferring assembly moves the workpiece to the shipping line. The anti-deviation assembly is rotatably connected to the transferring assembly, and when the lifting assembly drives the transferring assembly to rise, the anti-deviation assembly rotates upward to position and correct the deviation of the workpiece.

[0006] The anti-deviation assembly includes an anti-deviation plate, a tension spring, a rotating shaft, and feeding wheels. The anti-deviation plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the transfer assembly via the rotating shaft and a protrusion, respectively. Multiple feeding wheels are rotatably connected to the side of the anti-deviation plate closest to the workpiece along its length. The tension spring is wound around both ends of the rotating shaft, and the bottom end of the tension spring is fixed to the frame. The lifting assembly drives the transfer assembly to rise, causing the tension spring to stretch and drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the anti-deviation plate to rotate upward.

[0007] The transfer assembly includes a transfer frame, chain supports, a conveyor chain, and a drive mechanism. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting assembly, and the transfer frame is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame. The chain supports are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transfer frame, and the conveyor chain is rotatably connected to the chain supports by means of transmission gears. A drive mechanism is provided in the middle of the transfer frame, and the drive mechanism drives the conveyor chain to rotate.

[0008] The driving mechanism includes a drive motor, a chain drive component, and a transmission rod. The output shaft of the drive motor drives the transmission rod to rotate via a transmission gear and the chain drive component. Both ends of the transmission rod are rotatably connected to a chain bracket, and the transmission rod drives the conveyor chain to rotate. The driving mechanism has auxiliary conveyor chain mechanisms on both sides that are at the same height as the conveyor chain. The auxiliary conveyor chain mechanisms are also rotatably connected to the transmission rod.

[0009] The lifting assembly includes a fixed plate and a telescopic cylinder. The fixed plate is symmetrically arranged on the top of the frame, and the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to a fixing frame for fixing the transfer assembly.

[0010] Two buffer rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the two buffer rods are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic cylinder. The buffer rod includes a fixed rod and a movable rod that is slidably inserted into the fixed rod. The top of the movable rod is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame, and a buffer spring is provided between the fixed rod and the movable rod.

[0011] This invention discloses a lifting assembly and a transfer assembly. The frame can be set on the discharge side of the preceding conveyor line. The lifting assembly drives the transfer assembly upward so that it is flush with the bottom of the conveyor line, facilitating the receiving of workpieces. Specifically, the transfer assembly can be set at the bottom of the following conveyor line. When the lifting assembly drives the transfer assembly upward, it passes through the gap of the following conveyor line to avoid affecting the transport efficiency of the following conveyor line. When the transfer assembly rises, the anti-deviation assemblies on both sides of the transfer assembly rotate upward with the help of the tension of the tension springs, thereby causing the anti-deviation plates to rotate above the transfer assembly. The anti-deviation plates on both sides can limit the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from shifting excessively. In addition, the surface of the anti-deviation plates is rotatably connected to the feeding wheels to reduce the friction between the workpiece and the anti-deviation plates, facilitating the transport of the workpiece. Furthermore, when not in use, the anti-deviation plates are set vertically on the transfer assembly, which will not affect the conveying of the conveyor line and will not occupy too much space.

[0022] The following detailed description of the embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate the specific implementation of the present invention, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate, and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides an operating method for a lifting and transferring device for a shipping line, including a frame 1, a lifting assembly 2, a transferring assembly 3, and an anti-deviation assembly 4. The lifting assembly 2 is provided on the top of the frame 1, and the transferring assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting assembly 2. The lifting assembly 2 drives the transferring assembly 3 to move upward to extend out of the gap of the shipping line. The transferring assembly 3 drives the workpiece to move to the shipping line. The anti-deviation assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the transferring assembly 3, and when the lifting assembly 2 drives the transferring assembly 3 to rise, the anti-deviation assembly 4 rotates upward to position and correct the workpiece.

[0024] The anti-deviation assembly 4 includes an anti-deviation plate 44, a tension spring 42, a rotating shaft 41, and feeding wheels 45. The anti-deviation plate 44 is rotatably connected to both sides of the transfer assembly 3 via the rotating shaft 41 and the protrusion 43, respectively. Multiple feeding wheels 45 are rotatably connected to the side of the anti-deviation plate 44 near the workpiece along its length. The tension spring 42 is wound around both ends of the rotating shaft 41, and the bottom end of the tension spring 42 is fixed to the frame 1. The lifting assembly 2 drives the transfer assembly 3 to rise, causing the tension spring 42 to stretch and drive the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, thereby using the rotating shaft 41 to drive the anti-deviation plate 44 to rotate upward.

[0025] Tension springs 42 are wound around both ends of the rotating shaft 41, and the ends of the tension springs 42 are fixed to the frame 1. When the lifting component 2 drives the transfer component 3 to move upward, it will inevitably drive the rotating shaft 41 and the tension springs 42 to move upward, thereby stretching and storing energy in the tension springs 42, causing them to change from a coiled state to a straight state. The stretching of the tension springs 42 can drive the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, thereby causing the anti-deviation plate 44 to rotate upward as well. This can create a certain pressure on the products on the conveyor chain 34 and prevent the products from shifting too much. In order to reduce the friction between the products and the anti-deviation plate 44, a feeding wheel 45 is provided on the anti-deviation plate 44 so that it can be guided to the correct position more quickly.

[0026] The transfer assembly 3 includes a transfer frame 32, a chain support 33, a conveyor chain 34, and a drive mechanism 5. The top of the lifting assembly 2 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 31, and the top of the fixed frame 31 is fixedly connected to the transfer frame 32. The chain supports 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transfer frame 32, and the conveyor chain 34 is rotatably connected to the chain supports 33 by means of transmission gears. The middle of the transfer frame 1 is provided with a drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism drives the conveyor chain 34 to rotate. The drive mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51, a chain drive component 52, and a transmission rod 53. The output shaft of the drive motor 51 drives the transmission rod 53 to rotate via a transmission gear and the chain drive component 52. Both ends of the transmission rod 53 are rotatably connected to the chain support 33, and the transmission rod 53 drives the conveyor chain 34 to rotate. The drive mechanism 5 has auxiliary conveyor chain mechanisms 35 on both sides, which are at the same height as the conveyor chain 34. The auxiliary conveyor chain mechanisms 35 are also rotatably connected to the transmission rod 53.

[0027] The drive motor 51 drives the chain drive component 52 to rotate via the transmission gear, which in turn drives the transmission rod 53 to rotate. Specifically, a driven gear and a main transmission gear can be respectively set on the transmission rod 53 and the drive motor 51 to realize the rotation of the transmission rod 53. The two ends of the transmission rod 53 are rotatably connected to the chain brackets 33 on both sides of the transfer frame 32. The chain brackets 33 can also drive the conveyor chain 34 to rotate via the rotating gear, thereby realizing the purpose of conveying products. The transfer frame 32 is also equipped with an auxiliary conveyor chain mechanism 35, which is also to improve the stability of conveying products, provide more support points for the products, and make the conveying more stable.

[0028] The lifting assembly 2 includes a fixed plate 22 and a telescopic cylinder 21. The fixed plate 22 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the frame 1, and the telescopic cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate 22. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 31 for fixing the transfer assembly 3.

[0029] The bottom of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a support foot 11, which can be fixed on the frame of the shipping line. In this way, the present application can realize the transfer or reversal of items. When a product is transported to the shipping line, the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to move upward to extend out of the gap of the shipping line. The transfer component 3 drives the workpiece to move to the shipping line. Then the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to retract to avoid affecting the transport of products on the shipping line.

[0030] Two buffer rods 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the fixed plate 22, and the two buffer rods 23 are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic cylinder 21. The buffer rod 23 includes a fixed rod 231 and a movable rod 232 that is slidably inserted into the fixed rod 231. The top of the movable rod 232 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame 31, and a buffer spring 233 is provided between the fixed rod 231 and the movable rod 232.

[0031] When the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to press down, the transfer component 3 will press down the movable rod 232, so that the movable rod 232 can move downward along the fixed rod 231, so that the buffer spring 233 receives the pressure of the movable rod pressing down. In this way, the buffer spring 233 can also buffer part of the impact force on the telescopic cylinder 21 when the transfer component 3 presses down, making the telescopic cylinder 21 more stable and not subjected to excessive pressure.

[0032] In operation, when a product is conveyed onto the shipping line, the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to move upward to extend beyond the gap in the shipping line. The transfer component 3 moves the workpiece onto the shipping line. Then, the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to retract, avoiding interference with the product conveying on the shipping line. When the lifting component 2 drives the transfer component 3 to move upward, it inevitably drives the rotating shaft 41 and the tension spring 42 to move upward, thereby stretching and storing energy in the tension spring 42, causing it to change from a coiled state to a straightened state. The stretching of the tension spring 42 can then drive the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, thereby causing the anti-deviation plate 44 to also rotate upward, thus allowing the conveyor chain 3 to be adjusted. The product on plate 4 is subjected to a certain pressure, which can also prevent the product from being excessively offset. In order to reduce the friction between the product and the anti-offset plate 44, a feeding wheel 45 is set on the anti-offset plate 44 so that it can be guided to the correct position more quickly. The drive mechanism drives the conveyor chain 34 to rotate, and the conveyor chain 34 drives the product to move. When the product is transported to the shipping line, the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the transfer component 3 to move down, the tension spring 42 releases energy, drives the anti-offset plate 44 to rotate, and then passes through the gap between the shipping lines, so that the entire transfer component moves to the bottom of the shipping line. This will not affect the shipping line from transporting the product, nor will it occupy too much space.

[0033] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
