Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of television set transportation technology, specifically to a rotating conveying device and conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] After the television sets are manufactured, the manufacturers need to package and store the finished products. Currently, the packaging and warehousing process involves manually stacking the finished television sets on pallets, then using forklifts to transport the pallets to the elevator, and finally manually pulling the pallets out of the elevator and delivering the television sets to the designated finished product storage area in the warehouse.

[0003] However, when transporting finished television sets between different storage floors, the height of the floors and the height of the products can cause the products to get stuck in the transport channel of the higher floor before entering the next floor during the process of transporting them from the higher floor to the lower floor. This can cause interference between the products and the floors during the transport process, thus creating obstacles in the transport of finished television sets between different floors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a rotating delivery device and conveying system, which aims to solve the problem of interference between the product and the floor during the process of transporting the product from a high floor to a low floor, thereby causing obstacles in the transportation of finished television sets between different floors.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a rotating conveyor device, comprising:

[0006] Supporting institutions;

[0007] A rotating mechanism, comprising a rotating frame, a conveying assembly, and a driving assembly, wherein the rotating frame is rotatably mounted on the supporting mechanism, the conveying assembly is mounted on the rotating frame and used to convey the item to be conveyed, and the driving assembly is mounted on the supporting mechanism and used to drive the rotating frame to rotate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the finished television set is transported between different floors, the drive component drives the rotating frame to rotate, making the rotating frame at a larger angle to the upper floor. This increases the angle between the finished television set and the upper floor after it is transported onto the conveying component, allowing the finished television set to pass through the upper floor to the lower floor at a larger angle, avoiding interference when transporting the finished television set from a higher floor to a lower floor. When the finished television set is in the middle position on the conveying component, the drive component drives the rotating frame to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the conveying component and the rotating frame to rotate in the opposite direction. This reduces the angle between the rotating frame and the current floor, and consequently reduces the angle between the conveying component and the current floor, thus slowing down the downward slope of the finished television set and reducing its downward speed on the conveying component. The rotation of the rotating frame causes the television set on the conveying component to rotate, making the angle of transport between different floors adjustable, avoiding interference between the finished television set and the floors during transport, and thus solving the problem of obstacles in transporting finished television sets between different floors.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating transport device further includes a limiting frame, which is disposed adjacent to the end of the rotating frame near the lower floor. The limiting frame is provided with an anti-shake mechanism. The rotating frame has a first state and a second state. The anti-shake mechanism is used to lock the rotating frame when the rotating frame is in the first state or the second state. The angle between the rotating frame and the lower floor in the first state is greater than the angle between the rotating frame and the lower floor in the second state.

[0010] In some embodiments, the anti-shake mechanism includes a first abutment and a second abutment movably disposed on the limiting frame, and the rotating frame is provided with a first anti-shake groove and a second anti-shake groove. In the first state, the first abutment abuts into the first anti-shake groove, and in the second state, the second abutment abuts into the second anti-shake groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes conveying rollers rotatably disposed at both ends of the rotating frame, a conveyor belt tensioned on the conveying rollers, and a conveying motor disposed on the rotating frame for driving one of the conveying rollers to rotate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rotating frame is provided with a plurality of sets of guide members, the plurality of sets of guide members being spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt, and each set of guide members defining a guide space for the product to be fed in.

[0013] In some embodiments, each set of guide members includes guide brushes disposed on both sides of the rotating frame, the guide brushes at the same height defining the guide space, and the guide brushes abutting against the side wall of the item to be conveyed.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a rotary motor disposed within the support mechanism for driving the rotating frame to rotate, and a power shaft coaxially connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. The power shaft is fixedly disposed within the rotating frame and located at the middle position in the length direction of the rotating frame.

[0015] Secondly, this application provides a conveying system, including the rotary conveying device as described in the first aspect, and further comprising:

[0016] Corner conveyor equipment is installed on each floor and is used to receive and transport products from the same floor or items to be transported from the upper floor, and to transport the received items to be transported to the rotary conveyor equipment, or to transport items to be transported from the rotary conveyor equipment on the bottom floor.

[0017] A sorting and diversion device is installed on the bottom floor to receive products conveyed from the corner conveyor on the bottom floor and to sort and classify the conveyed products.

[0018] A palletizing device is located downstream of the screening and sorting device, used to receive the products after screening and sorting by the screening and sorting device, and to pack and palletize the products after screening and sorting.

[0019] In some embodiments, the screening and diversion device includes:

[0020] A screening input mechanism is used to receive and transport products from the corner conveyor on the lowest floor;

[0021] The diversion mechanism is slidably disposed downstream of the screening input mechanism and has multiple conveying zones, each of which corresponds to a different product category. The diversion mechanism is used to receive products conveyed from the screening input mechanism and to divert the products to the conveying zones corresponding to different product categories.

[0022] A screening output mechanism is located downstream of the diversion mechanism and has multiple output areas, each corresponding to one of the conveying areas. The screening output mechanism is used to receive and convey products from different conveying areas to their respective output areas.

[0023] In some embodiments, the palletizing equipment includes:

[0024] A palletizing input mechanism for receiving and conveying products from the output area;

[0025] A strapping and bundling mechanism is slidably disposed downstream of the palletizing input mechanism and has multiple strapping areas, each corresponding to an output area. The strapping and bundling mechanism is used to receive and transport products from the palletizing input mechanism and strap the products in the strapping areas.

[0026] A palletizing mechanism is located downstream of the strapping and bundling mechanism and has multiple palletizing areas and pallet areas. Each palletizing area and pallet area corresponds one-to-one with a strapping area. The palletizing mechanism is used to receive and transport products from different strapping areas, perform palletizing in the palletizing areas, and transport the palletized products to the pallet areas corresponding to different product categories. The pallet areas are used for storing the palletized products in a warehouse.

[0027] In this application, when finished television sets produced on each floor are transported to lower floors for packaging and warehousing, the finished television sets are conveyed from higher floors to a rotary conveyor via a corner conveyor. The corner conveyor rotates to transport the finished television sets to the rotary conveyor, which, by rotating between floors, overcomes any interference between the finished television sets and the floors during rotation, smoothly conveying them to the corner conveyor on the next floor, until they reach the rotary conveyor on the bottom floor. The bottom-floor rotary conveyor then delivers the finished television sets to the corner conveyor on the bottom floor. From there, the finished television sets are conveyed to a sorting and dividing device for classification according to their type. Finally, the classified finished television sets enter a palletizing device for packaging and palletizing, and then transported to the warehouse for storage. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application. In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.

[0036] This application provides a rotary conveying device and a conveying system. These will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0037] First, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating conveying device 1 includes a support mechanism 11 and a rotating mechanism 12. The rotating mechanism 12 includes a rotating frame 121, a conveying component 122, and a driving component 123. The rotating frame 121 is rotatably mounted on the support mechanism 11. The conveying component 122 is mounted on the rotating frame 121 and is used to convey the items to be conveyed. The driving component 123 is mounted on the support mechanism 11 and is used to drive the rotating frame 121 to rotate.

[0038] Specifically, the support mechanism 11 is set between two adjacent floors. Considering that the support mechanism 11 would occupy more space if it were set at the bottom of the next floor, in this embodiment the support mechanism 11 is set on the top wall of the next floor so that it can be suspended between two adjacent floors.

[0039] Furthermore, the support mechanism 11 includes a ceiling frame 111 suspended from the upper floor ceiling wall and a support platform 112 connected to the lower end of the ceiling frame 111. The drive assembly 123 is disposed on the support platform 112. The ceiling frame 111 has a rotation space for the rotating frame 121 to rotate, and the rotation space extends through the ceiling frame 111 along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 122, so that the conveying assembly 122 can rotate with the rotating frame 121 between floors.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotating transfer device 1 further includes a limiting frame 13, which is disposed near the end of the rotating frame 121 that is close to the lower floor. The limiting frame 13 is provided with an anti-shaking mechanism. The rotating frame 121 has a first state and a second state. The anti-shaking mechanism is used to lock the rotating frame 121 when it is in the first state or the second state. The angle between the rotating frame 121 and the lower floor in the first state is greater than the angle between the rotating frame 121 and the lower floor in the second state.

[0041] Specifically, the limiting frame 13 is fixed to the floor below the rotating frame 121. The lower end of the rotating frame 121 rotates within the limiting frame 13 to guide and limit the rotation of the rotating frame 121. When the rotating frame 121 is in the first state, the anti-shake mechanism locks the rotating frame 121 in the first state to reduce the shaking generated after the rotating frame 121 rotates to the first state, thus ensuring the smooth transport of the product to be transported on the conveying assembly 122. Then, the item to be transported is transported onto the conveying assembly 122. At this time, the angle between the rotating frame 121 and the lower floor is at its maximum, which facilitates the transport of the item to be transported onto the conveying assembly 122 at the maximum tilt angle, avoiding interference between the item to be transported and the floor, thereby facilitating the transport of the item from the upper floor to the lower floor.

[0042] Until the item to be transported has completely entered the next floor and is located in the middle position of the conveying assembly 122, the drive assembly 123 drives the rotating frame 121 to rotate, so that the rotating frame 121 rotates to the second state. The rotating frame 121 in the second state is locked by the anti-vibration mechanism to reduce the vibration generated after the rotating frame 121 rotates to the second state, so as to ensure that the conveying assembly 122 smoothly transports the item to be transported out of the rotating frame 121. In the second state, the angle between the rotating frame 121 and the lower floor is the smallest. At this time, the tilt angle of the conveying assembly 122 on the rotating frame 121 is the smallest, so as to slow down the speed at which the product to be transported is conveyed downward from the conveying assembly 122, and reduce the possibility of collision damage caused by the conveying assembly 122 being transported too fast.

[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The anti-shake mechanism includes a first abutment 131 and a second abutment 132 movably mounted on the limiting frame 13. The rotating frame 121 is provided with a first anti-shake groove 1211 and a second anti-shake groove 1212. In the first state, the first abutment 131 abuts into the first anti-shake groove 1211, and in the second state, the second abutment 132 abuts into the second anti-shake groove 1212.

[0044] Specifically, the first abutment 131 and the second abutment 132 are both located on the limiting frame 13 and slide in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 122, with the first abutment 131 located below the second abutment 132.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first abutting member 131 includes a first abutting post, and the second abutting member 132 includes a second abutting post. The first abutting post and the second abutting post are exactly the same in shape and size, and the first anti-shake groove 1211 and the second anti-shake groove 1212 are also exactly the same in shape and size. A first cylinder for driving the first abutting post to slide and a second cylinder for driving the second abutting post to slide are respectively provided on one side of the limiting frame 13.

[0046] When the rotating frame 121 rotates to the first state, the first cylinder drives the first abutting post to abut against the first anti-shake groove 1211 to lock the rotating frame 121 in the first state, maintaining the stability of the conveying assembly 122 in continuing to convey the item to be conveyed downwards. When the rotating frame 121 rotates to the second state, the second cylinder drives the second grounding post to abut against the second anti-shake groove 1212 to lock the rotating frame 121 in the second state, maintaining the stability of the conveying assembly 122 in outputting the item to be conveyed from the rotating frame 121.

[0047] In the above embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying assembly 122 includes conveying rollers 1221 rotatably mounted at both ends of the rotating frame 121, a conveyor belt 1222 tensioned on the conveying rollers 1221, and a conveying motor 1223 mounted on the rotating frame 121 for driving one of the conveying rollers 1221 to rotate.

[0048] Specifically, the rotation axis of the conveyor roller 1221 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating frame 121. The conveyor motor 1223 is located at the bottom of the rotating frame 121. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 1223 passes through the side wall of the rotating frame 121 and is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 121. A chain drive is provided on one side of the rotating frame 121 to connect the output shaft of the conveyor motor 1223 to the rotating shaft of the conveyor roller 1221. This allows the conveyor motor 1223 to drive the chain to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor roller 1221 to rotate. This enables the conveyor belt 1222 to rotate with the conveyor roller 1221, facilitating the downward transport of the items to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 1222.

[0049] Furthermore, the rotating frame 121 is equipped with several sets of guide members, which are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 1222. Each set of guide members defines a guiding space for the product to be fed in. After the item to be conveyed enters the conveyor belt 1222, it enters the guiding space and is guided by the guide members to keep the item upright on the conveyor belt 1222. The multiple sets of guide members ensure a more uniform guiding position for the item, preventing it from tipping over on the conveyor belt 1222 and facilitating downward conveying.

[0050] Understandably, each set of guide components includes guide brushes 124 disposed on both sides of the rotating frame 121. Guide brushes 124 at the same height define a guiding space, and the guide brushes 124 abut against the side wall of the item to be conveyed. The guide brushes 124 at the same height on both sides of the rotating frame 121 constitute a set of guide components. That is, by abutting against both sides of the item to be conveyed, the reaction force after the guide brushes 124 deform acts on the item to be conveyed, guiding and straightening the item on the conveyor belt 1222. Furthermore, due to the material properties of the guide brushes 124 themselves, the conveyor belt 1222 smoothly conveys the item downwards.

[0051] It is worth noting that clamping plates 125 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 1222 are also slidably disposed on the rotating frame 121. A clamping cylinder 126 is provided on the rotating frame 121 to drive the clamping plates 125 to slide. Both the clamping cylinder 126 and the clamping plates 125 are located at the middle position in the conveyor belt 1222's conveying direction. The clamping plates 125 are slidably disposed on the rotating frame 121 in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1222's conveying direction. Driven by the clamping cylinder 126, when the item to be conveyed enters the middle position of the conveyor belt 1222, the rotating frame 121 is in a first state. The clamping cylinder 126 drives the clamping plates 125 to clamp the bottom of the item to be conveyed, so that when the rotating frame 121 rotates from the first state to the second state, the item to be conveyed is clamped by the clamping plates 125 on the rotating frame 121, reducing the possibility of the item sliding off the conveyor belt 1222 during the rotation of the rotating frame 121. Only after the rotating frame 121 has fully rotated to the second state will the clamping cylinder 126 drive the clamping plate 125 to release the item to be transported.

[0052] Furthermore, the drive assembly 123 includes a rotary motor 1231 disposed within the support mechanism 11 for driving the rotation of the rotating frame 121, and a power shaft 1232 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 1231. The power shaft 1232 is fixedly disposed within the rotating frame 121 and located at the midpoint of the length direction of the rotating frame 121. A fixed base 113 is fixed on the support platform 112, and the rotary motor 1231 is fixed on the fixed base 113. The rotary motor 1231, the rotating frame 121, and the fixed base 113 are all located within the rotation space, and the rotary motor 1231 is located on one side of the rotating frame 121. The rotary motor 1231 is also equipped with a reduction gear set 1233, which is fixed on the fixed base 113. The power shaft 1232 is coaxially connected to the reduction gear set 1233 to reduce the rotational speed of the rotary motor 1231, thereby facilitating the switching of the rotating frame 121 between the first and second states at a slow rotational speed.

[0053] Furthermore, to better implement the rotary conveyor device 1 in the embodiments of this application, a conveying system is also provided in the embodiments of this application based on the rotary conveyor device 1. See also... Figure 4 The conveying system includes a rotary conveyor 1 as described in any of the above embodiments, and also includes a corner conveyor 2, a screening and diversion device 3, and a palletizing device 4.

[0054] The corner conveyor 2 is installed on each floor and is used to receive and transport products from the same floor or items to be transported from the upper floor. The received items to be transported are then transported to the rotary conveyor 1, or items to be transported from the rotary conveyor 1 on the lowest floor are transported.

[0055] The screening and diversion device 3 is located on the bottom floor and is used to receive products conveyed from the corner conveyor device 2 on the bottom floor and to screen and classify the conveyed products.

[0056] The palletizing equipment 4 is located downstream of the screening and sorting equipment 3 and is used to receive the products after screening and sorting by the screening and sorting equipment 3, and to pack and palletize the products after screening and sorting.

[0057] When items are transported from higher to lower floors, they first pass through the corner conveyor 2 to adjust the conveying angle, facilitating their transport to the rotating conveyor 1 between floors. Then, the rotating conveyor 1 adjusts the conveying angle between floors to prevent interference between the items and the floors, while also ensuring a smoother transport to the next floor.

[0058] In this embodiment, each floor is equipped with a rotary conveyor 1 and a corner conveyor 2, so that the rotary conveyor 1 on the bottom floor transports the items to be transported to the corner conveyor 2 on the bottom floor, which then adjusts the angle of the items before transporting them to the sorting and distribution device 3. After being sorted and distributed by the sorting device, the items are transported to the palletizing device 4 for packaging and palletizing, and then individually packaged and sent to the warehouse.

[0059] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The screening and diversion device 3 includes a screening input mechanism 31, a diversion mechanism 32, and a screening output mechanism 33.

[0060] The screening input mechanism 31 is used to receive and transport products from the corner conveyor 2 on the bottom floor.

[0061] The diversion mechanism 32 is slidably disposed downstream of the screening input mechanism 31 and has multiple conveying zones, each corresponding to a different product category. The diversion mechanism 32 is used to receive products conveyed from the screening input mechanism 31 and to divert products to the conveying zones corresponding to different product categories.

[0062] The screening output mechanism 33 is located downstream of the diversion mechanism 32 and has multiple output areas, with each output area corresponding to a conveying area. The screening output mechanism 33 is used to receive and convey products from different conveying areas to the corresponding output areas.

[0063] When the items to be transported reach the bottom floor, the corner conveyor 2 adjusts the angle of the items transported from the self-rotating conveyor 1 by rotating, so that the items on the bottom floor are transported horizontally to the screening input mechanism 31. Then, the screening input mechanism 31 transports the items to the conveying area of ​​the diversion mechanism 32. The diversion mechanism 32 then classifies the items according to their different product categories. In this embodiment, the items are classified according to different floors. The items are sorted and sent to the conveying area according to their floor. Finally, the sorted items are transported to the output area of ​​the screening output mechanism 33 through the conveying area.

[0064] Furthermore, the palletizing equipment 4 includes: a palletizing input mechanism 4131, a strapping and bundling mechanism 42, and a palletizing mechanism 43.

[0065] The palletizing input mechanism 4131 is used to receive and transport products from the output area.

[0066] The strapping and bundling mechanism 42 is slidably disposed downstream of the palletizing input mechanism 4131 and has multiple strapping areas, each corresponding to an output area. The strapping and bundling mechanism 42 is used to receive and transport products from the palletizing input mechanism 4131 and strap the products in the strapping areas.

[0067] The palletizing mechanism 43 is located downstream of the strapping and bundling mechanism 42 and has multiple palletizing areas and pallet areas. The palletizing areas and pallet areas correspond one-to-one with the strapping areas. The palletizing mechanism 43 is used to receive and transport products from different strapping areas, perform palletizing in the palletizing areas, and transport the palletized products to the pallet areas corresponding to different product categories. The pallet areas are used for storing the palletized products in the warehouse.

[0068] When items to be transported are sorted and transported to the output area, the sorting output mechanism 33 transports the sorted items from the output area to the palletizing input mechanism 4131. The palletizing input mechanism 4131 transports the items to be transported to the strapping area, where it straps and bundles each item until all items are strapped and bundled. Then, it transports the items to the palletizing area of ​​the palletizing mechanism 43. In the palletizing area, the palletizing mechanism 43 stacks the packaged items according to their floor level, then transports the stacked items to the pallet area. Finally, the palletized and stacked items are stored in the warehouse, thus completing the process of transporting, packaging, stacking, and storing the items from higher to lower floors.

[0069] This application embodiment also employs a system technology that links programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and operating devices to achieve a product warehousing and conveying system that enables collaborative operation of multiple devices. For example, the operating device serves as the parameter input medium for the entire system's external connection, allowing system operators to allocate items between floors based on their warehousing location. The PLC, acting as the main control system, controls the corner conveyor 2, rotary conveyor 1, screening and diversion device 3, and palletizing device 4 in a coordinated operation, based on the operator's allocation settings, to achieve top-down conveying of the items.

[0070] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of a rotary conveying device and conveying system provided in the embodiments of this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
