[0002] Existing transfer platforms can convey and transfer plates in a preset direction, but are usually used for conveying and transferring plates placed in a horizontal state. In some scenarios, because the plates at the upstream and downstream stations need to be placed in a vertical state, and in the upstream and downstream connection process, the plates are not convenient to be transferred in a vertical manner, the upstream plates can be extracted and flipped to a horizontal state by a robotic arm, and then the horizontal plates are placed on the conveyor belt in the connection area, and transported to the input end of the downstream station by the conveyor belt, and then the plates are flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state by the robotic arm at the input end of the downstream station and placed downstream. It can be seen that the transfer platform used in this scenario needs to be composed of a conveyor belt and multiple sets of robotic arms.

In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] The present invention relates to a transfer platform, which comprises a docking conveyor and a plurality of second conveyors 3000, wherein one of the second conveyors 3000 is used to transfer a plate to the docking conveyor, and the docking conveyor is used to transfer a plate to one of the remaining second conveyors 3000.

[0039] Specifically, one of the second conveying devices 3000 is arranged at the entrance side of the transfer platform, and the other second conveying devices 3000 are arranged at the exit side of the transfer platform.

[0040] As an implementation mode, the docking conveying device can rotate to adjust the conveying direction so as to adjust the direction in which the docking conveying device conveys the plate toward the exit side of the transfer platform, thereby selecting one of the second conveying devices 3000 to send out the plate and realize docking conveyance of the plate.

[0041] In some examples, at least three second conveying devices 3000 are provided, and each second conveying device 3000 is distributed around the circumference of the docking conveying device. It can be understood that one of the second conveying devices 3000 is used as a conveying structure for sheet material feeding, and the other second conveying devices 3000 are used as conveying structures for sheet material discharging. In this case, the docking conveying device adjusts the direction of the docking conveying by rotating.

[0042] The other structures and operations of the transfer platform have been recorded in the relevant technologies for ordinary technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here. The structure of the docking and conveying device will be introduced below.

[0043] The present invention relates to a docking and conveying device, which includes a base 1000 and a vertical support assembly 2000. The vertical support assembly 2000 can convey a plate in a vertical state, so as to realize docking and transfer of the plate without flipping or laying flat. The vertical support assembly 2000 is arranged on the base 1000. The vertical support assembly 2000 includes a vertical mounting structure 2001, a first support assembly and a second support assembly, the first support assembly and the second support assembly are respectively connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001, the first support assembly is arranged at the bottom of the vertical support assembly 2000, and the second support assembly is arranged on the side of the vertical support assembly 2000.

[0044] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the first support assembly includes a plurality of first support rollers 2101, each of which is spaced apart along the conveying direction of the plate and can rotate, and the second support assembly includes a plurality of second support rollers 2201, each of which is spaced apart along the conveying direction of the plate and can rotate.

[0045] Furthermore, the roller axis direction of the first support roller 2101 and the roller axis direction of the second support roller 2201 are distributed at an angle, so as to support different surfaces of the plate through the roller surface. Specifically, the second support roller 2201 is tilted, and the roller axis direction of the second support roller 2201 forms an angle between (0° and 90°) with respect to the horizontal direction, and the first support roller 2101 and the second support roller 2201 are suitable for rotating with the plate conveying direction as a tangent direction.

[0046] It can be understood that the first support rollers 2101 located at the bottom are used to support the lower side of the plate, the inclined second support rollers 2201 are used to support the side of the plate, and the second support rollers 2201 can maintain the plate in an inclined vertical state.

[0047] Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed as follows: the bottom and top of the vertical support assembly 2000 are both provided with a first support assembly, and the first support roller 2101 located at the top is in rolling contact with the upper side edge of the plate. It can be understood that the use of the first support assemblies at the top and bottom can improve the stability of the plate conveying and prevent the plate from deflecting or tipping over.

[0048] It should be noted that the first support roller 2101 is driven to rotate by a motor or the second support roller 2201 is driven to rotate by a motor, so as to realize the movement of the plate in the docking conveyor. Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed that: the first support roller 2101 and the second support roller 2201 are unpowered rollers, and the plate is pushed to move in the docking conveyor by an external force.

[0049] As an embodiment, when the first support assembly is disposed at both the bottom and the top of the vertical support assembly 2000, the first support assembly located at the top of the vertical support assembly 2000 is designed to be height-adjustable so as to transport plates of various sizes.

[0050] Furthermore, the first supporting assembly at the top is driven to move up and down in an automatic manner. Specifically, the vertical supporting assembly 2000 includes a first lifting drive, which is connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001. The first lifting drive drives the first supporting assembly to move up and down by means of a screw drive or a belt drive.

[0051] It can be understood that the vertical support assembly 2000 includes a first lifting guide structure 2103, the first lifting guide structure 2103 is connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001, and the first support assembly moves up and down along the first lifting guide structure 2103. In conjunction with the drawings, the first support assembly includes a first support structure 2102, and each first support roller 2101 is connected to the first support structure 2102. Specifically, the rotating shaft of the first support roller 2101 is connected to the first support structure 2102. Further, the first support structure 2102 is slidably connected to the first lifting guide structure 2103, the first lifting guide structure 2103 includes a guide rail, and the first support structure 2102 is connected to the guide rail through a slider.

[0052] Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed as follows: In some examples, the first lifting guide structure 2103 includes a guide rod, and the first support structure 2102 is provided with a linear bearing or a sleeve. In some examples, the first lifting guide structure 2103 is provided as a slide groove on the surface of the vertical mounting structure 2001.

[0053] In some examples, the first support assembly includes a lifting and locking structure 2400, and the lifting and locking structure 2400 is used to lock and fix the first support assembly located at the top. It can be understood that the lifting and locking structure 2400 is respectively connected to the first support structure 2102 and the vertical mounting structure 2001, and the connection between the lifting and locking structure 2400 and the vertical mounting structure 2001 is detachable, thereby realizing the detachability between the lifting and locking structure 2400 and the vertical mounting structure 2001.

[0054] Specifically, the lifting locking structure 2400 includes a second handle 2401, a second mounting seat, and a second locking component 2402. Specifically, the second mounting seat is connected to the first supporting structure 2102, the second handle 2401 is hinged to the second mounting seat, the second locking component 2402 is hinged to the second handle 2401, and the second locking component 2402 passes through the second mounting seat. It can be understood that by pulling the second handle 2401, the second locking component 2402 can be extended and retracted in the second mounting seat, so that the second locking component 2402 is locked or separated from the vertical mounting structure 2001.

[0055] Regarding the second locking structure, the design can also be replaced as follows: the second locking structure does not have a second mounting seat, but the second handle 2401 is hinged to the first supporting structure 2102, the second locking component 2402 passes through the first supporting structure 2102, and the second locking component 2402 is hinged to the second handle 2401.

[0056] In some examples, the lifting and locking structure 2400 is locked or unlocked in an automatic manner. Specifically, the second handle 2401 is pushed by a cylinder to drive the second locking component 2402 to move.

[0057] Furthermore, the vertical mounting structure 2001 is provided with a plurality of second plug holes, each of which is arranged at intervals along the lifting and moving direction of the first supporting assembly. It is understandable that the second locking member 2402 is inserted into the second plug hole to fix the position of the first supporting assembly.

[0058] Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed that: the vertical mounting structure 2001 does not have a second plug hole. In this case, the end of the second locking component 2402 presses against the surface of the vertical mounting structure 2001 to lock and fix the first support assembly.

[0059] As an embodiment, the vertical support assembly 2000 can rotate on the base 1000, so as to connect the conveying device to rotate and adjust the conveying direction. Specifically, the vertical support assembly 2000 includes a vertical support seat 2002, the vertical support seat 2002 is connected to the base 1000, and the vertical mounting structure 2001 is rotatably connected to the vertical support seat 2002.

[0060] It is understandable that the vertical support base 2002 is provided with a rotating shaft for connecting the vertical mounting structure 2001. The vertical support assembly 2000 realizes rotation in an automatic manner. Specifically, the vertical support assembly 2000 includes a rotating motor, the rotating motor is connected to the vertical support base 2002, and the rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor.

[0061] Furthermore, the vertical support assembly 2000 includes a third locking structure, which is respectively connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001 and the vertical support seat 2002, and the connection between the third locking structure and the vertical support seat 2002 is detachable. It can be understood that the third locking structure is used to lock and fix the position of the vertical support assembly 2000 after rotation.

[0062] In some examples, the third locking structure includes a third handle 2501, a third mounting seat and a third locking component 2502, the third mounting seat is connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001, the third handle 2501 is hinged to the third mounting seat, the third locking component 2502 is hinged to the third handle 2501, and the third locking component 2502 passes through the third mounting seat.

[0063] Regarding the third locking structure, the design can also be replaced as follows: the third locking structure does not have a third mounting seat, but the third handle 2501 is designed to be hinged to the vertical mounting structure 2001, the third locking component 2502 passes through the bottom of the vertical mounting structure 2001, and the third locking component 2502 is hinged to the third handle 2501.

[0064] It is understandable that by pulling the third handle 2501, the third locking member 2502 can be extended and retracted on the third mounting seat, so that the third locking member 2502 is locked or separated from the vertical support seat 2002. In some examples, the third locking structure is locked or unlocked in an automatic manner, specifically, the third handle 2501 is pushed by a cylinder to drive the third locking member 2502 to move.

[0065] Furthermore, the vertical support seat 2002 is provided with a plurality of third plug-in holes, and the third plug-in holes are distributed along the circumference around the rotating shaft on the vertical support seat 2002 at intervals. The third locking component 2502 is inserted into the third plug-in hole to achieve locking and fixing of the vertical support assembly 2000.

[0066] Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed that: the vertical support seat 2002 does not have a third plug-in hole. In this case, the end of the third locking component 2502 presses against the surface of the vertical support seat 2002 to achieve locking and fixing of the vertical support assembly 2000.

[0067] As an embodiment, the vertical support assembly 2000 includes a rolling component 2003, the rolling component 2003 is connected to the vertical mounting structure 2001, and the rolling component 2003 is in rolling contact with the upper side of the vertical support seat 2002. Specifically, the rolling component 2003 includes a roller or a ball. It can be understood that the vertical support assembly 2000 uses the rolling component 2003 to reduce the friction between the vertical support seat 2002 when rotating, and can improve the stability of the vertical support assembly 2000 when rotating.

[0068] Furthermore, a plurality of rolling components 2003 are provided, and each rolling component 2003 is distributed at intervals along the circumference around the rotating axis of the vertical support seat 2002 .

[0069] As an embodiment, the docking conveyor device includes a driving assembly, which is respectively connected to the base 1000 and the vertical support assembly 2000, and the driving assembly drives the vertical support assembly 2000 to reciprocate along the sheet conveying direction to transfer the sheet from the entrance side to the exit side of the transfer platform. It can be understood that when the sheet is normally conveyed, the second conveying device 3000 on the entrance side transfers the sheet to the vertical support assembly 2000 of the docking conveyor device, and the driving assembly drives the vertical support assembly 2000 to move toward the exit side, and the vertical support assembly 2000 transfers the sheet to the second conveying device 3000 on the exit side.

[0070] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a docking transmission driver, a driving gear and a transmission rack, the docking transmission driver includes a motor, the driving gear is connected to the docking transmission driver, the docking transmission driver is connected to the vertical support seat 2002, the transmission rack is connected to the base 1000, and the transmission rack is arranged along the moving direction of the driving assembly. It can be understood that the docking transmission driver drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear and the transmission rack are meshed and transmitted, so that the vertical support assembly 2000 can achieve reciprocating movement.

[0071] Further, the driving assembly includes a docking and conveying guide structure 2601, the docking and conveying guide structure 2601 is connected to the base 1000, and the vertical support seat 2002 is slidably connected to the docking and conveying guide structure 2601. It can be understood that under the guidance of the docking and conveying guide structure 2601, the vertical support assembly 2000 reciprocates.

[0072] In some examples, the docking and conveying guide structure 2601 includes a guide rail, and the vertical support seat 2002 is connected to the guide rail through a slider. Alternatively, the docking and conveying guide structure 2601 includes a guide rod, and the vertical support seat 2002 is provided with a linear bearing or a sleeve.

[0073] As for the way in which the driving assembly drives the vertical support assembly 2000 to move, as an alternative, it can also be designed as follows: in some examples, the connecting transmission drive is connected to the base 1000, and the transmission rack is connected to the vertical support seat 2002. In some examples, the driving assembly drives the vertical support assembly 2000 to move back and forth by belt transmission, and further, the driving assembly drives the vertical support assembly 2000 to move back and forth by a synchronous belt.

[0074] As an embodiment, the first support assembly includes a first locking structure 2300, and the first locking structure 2300 is used to lock the first support roller 2101 so that the first support roller 2101 is fixed, thereby stopping the conveyance of the plate in the docking conveyor. It can be understood that after the first support roller 2101 is locked, the rolling friction between the first support roller 2101 and the plate is converted into sliding friction, and the friction force on the plate increases, so that the plate cannot move on the vertical support assembly 2000.

[0075] Specifically, the first locking structure 2300 is used to press against the side of the first support roller 2101 to fix the first support roller 2101. In conjunction with the drawings, the first locking structure 2300 includes a first handle 2301, a first mounting seat 2302 and a first locking component 2303, the first mounting seat 2302 is connected to the vertical support assembly 2000, the first handle 2301 is hinged to the first mounting seat 2302, the first locking component 2303 is hinged to the first mounting seat 2302, and the first handle 2301 is hinged to the first locking component 2303.

[0076] It can be understood that the first locking member 2303 is suitable for locking the first supporting roller 2101 by abutting against the roller surface of the first supporting roller 2101. Specifically, by pulling the first handle 2301, the first locking member 2303 can be moved closer to or away from the side of the first supporting roller 2101, and the end of the first locking member 2303 is used to abut against and press the side of the first supporting roller 2101. In some examples, the first locking structure 2300 is locked or unlocked in an automatic manner, specifically, the first handle 2301 is pushed by a cylinder to drive the first locking member 2303 to move.

[0077] Furthermore, a pad is provided at the end of the first locking component 2303. The pad is made of a soft structure to enhance the pressing of the first locking component 2303 on the first supporting roller 2101 and prevent the first locking component 2303 from damaging the first supporting roller 2101 during pressing.

[0078] At least one first locking structure 2300 is provided in the first support assembly. Specifically, two first locking structures 2300 are provided, and the spacing between the first support rollers 2101 corresponding to the two first locking structures 2300 is less than the length of the plate. Further, the distance between the first support roller 2101 corresponding to the first locking structure 2300 near the inlet side and the inlet side of the vertical support assembly 2000 is less than the length of the plate, and the distance between the first support roller 2101 corresponding to the first locking structure 2300 near the outlet side and the outlet side of the vertical support assembly 2000 is less than the length of the plate.

[0079] Of course, in some examples, if the number of the first locking structures 2300 is at least three, the spacing between the first support rollers 2101 corresponding to two adjacent first locking structures 2300 is smaller than the length of the plate, and accordingly, the distance from the first support roller 2101 corresponding to the outermost first locking structure 2300 to the corresponding side of the vertical support assembly 2000 is smaller than the length of the plate.

[0080] Regarding the first locking structure 2300 , in some examples, the design can also be replaced as follows: the first locking structure 2300 is set as one, specifically, the first locking structure 2300 is set close to the outlet side of the vertical support assembly 2000 .

[0081] It can be understood that when the first support components are respectively provided at the bottom and the top of the vertical support component 2000: in some examples, the first support component located at the top is provided with a first locking structure 2300; in some examples, the first support component located at the bottom is provided with a first locking structure 2300; in some examples, the first support components located at the bottom and the top are both provided with a first locking structure 2300.

[0082] As an embodiment, the connecting and conveying device includes a lifting component 1100, and the base 1000 is connected to the lifting component 1100. The lifting component 1100 drives the base 1000 to rise and fall to connect and convey the plate to the second conveying device 3000 at different heights.

[0083] Specifically, the lifting assembly 1100 includes a lifting driver, the lifting driver includes a motor, and the lifting driver drives the base 1000 to rise and fall by means of a belt drive. Further, the lifting driver drives the base 1000 to rise and fall by means of a synchronous belt.

[0084] As an alternative, it can also be designed that: the lifting drive drives the base 1000 to rise and fall in a screw transmission manner. Specifically, the lifting drive drives the base 1000 to rise and fall through a ball screw pair.

[0085] In combination with the structure of the above-mentioned docking and conveying device, the structure of the transfer platform is supplementarily described below.

[0086] It is understandable that, considering that the plates are transported in a vertical state in the docking conveyor, the second conveyor 3000 is designed to be able to transport the plates in a vertical manner, so that the plates can be transferred between the second conveyor 3000 and the docking conveyor stably, smoothly and quickly. Furthermore, in the second conveyor 3000 and the docking conveyor, the inclination angles of the plates in the vertical state are consistent.

[0087] As an embodiment, at least one second conveying device 3000 conveys the plate through the vertical support assembly 2000 .
