Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of track conveying technology, specifically relating to a method for sorting and conveying a common track when multiple devices are combined. Background Technology
[0002] As industrial production demands increasingly higher processing efficiency, factories are making targeted improvements. A common way to improve efficiency is to install multiple independent processing machines, each equipped with its own loading and unloading mechanism, forming an independent automated production line. While this method of simply increasing the number of machines can increase output per unit time, it requires a large number of machines, resulting in high operating and maintenance costs, and also occupies a significant amount of space. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a sorting and conveying method for a common track when multiple devices are combined. This sorting and conveying method for a common track when multiple devices are combined has the advantages of using a common track to sort and convey vehicles, effectively improving conveying efficiency, matching conveying with processing, and ensuring output per unit time.
[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for sorting and conveying multiple devices using a common track includes: Step 1: Combining multiple devices, with each device corresponding to a common track, and connecting the common tracks of adjacent devices in series. The common track unidirectionally conveys a carrier plate carrying a workpiece, and the carrier plate can be conveyed from the first device to the last device; Step 2: Dividing the common track along the carrier plate conveying direction into four stations: a material picking station, a first buffer station, a second buffer station, and a material unloading station. Simultaneously, setting the conveying logic of the common track, controlling the conveying of the carrier plate through the conveying logic, wherein a carrier plate carrying an unprocessed workpiece is marked as an unworked carrier plate, and a carrier plate carrying a processed workpiece is marked as a worked carrier plate. Step 3: Mark the unloaded workpiece carrier as an empty carrier; Step 4: Set the equipment's operating logic, control the workpiece operation through the equipment's operating logic, and match the equipment's operating logic with the common track's conveying logic so that the carrier's conveying process matches the workpiece's operation process; Step 5: Set the buffering logic for the first and second buffer positions. For the common track at the beginning of the carrier conveying direction, the first and second buffer positions are used to buffer unloaded carriers; for the common track at the end of the carrier conveying direction, the first and second buffer positions are used to buffer loaded carriers; When a material is missing at a certain equipment's picking station, according to the distance priority principle, find the unloaded carrier closest to the picking station along the reverse of the carrier conveying direction, and convey the unloaded carrier to the picking station.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are that by combining multiple devices and connecting their corresponding common tracks in series, multiple devices can share a single transport path for the carrier plate, effectively saving space. This invention divides the common track into a material picking station, a first buffer station, a second buffer station, and a material unloading station. On one hand, the material picking station, unloading station, and equipment work together to ensure that the corresponding carrier plate can continue to be transported forward during workpiece processing. On the other hand, the first and second buffer stations buffer the carrier plate, allowing the nearest buffered carrier plate to be transported when needed by a particular device, thus shortening the feeding time. Furthermore, the buffering effect of the first and second buffer stations can prevent carrier plate blockage.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step two, a clearance mechanism is provided in the material picking station, the first buffer station, the second buffer station and the material unloading station. The clearance mechanism is used to lift the carrier plate so as to facilitate the subsequent forward conveying of the carrier plate.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step two, the conveying logic of the common track is to convey the unworked carrier plate to the picking station, mark the unworked carrier plate as an empty carrier plate after picking up the material, and convey the empty carrier plate to the unloading station to receive the workpiece after the work is completed, so that the empty carrier plate is marked as a work-completed carrier plate.
[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step three, the operating logic of the equipment is to sequentially grab the workpieces on the unworked carrier plate at the material picking station and put them into the equipment for operation until all the workpieces on the unworked carrier plate are removed and become empty carrier plates. At the same time as the equipment is operating, the empty carrier plate is transported to the material unloading station, and the equipment puts the workpieces after operation into the empty carrier plate in sequence, so that the empty carrier plate becomes a work-operated carrier plate.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step five, for the common track between the first end and the last end of the carrier conveying direction, the first buffer position is used to buffer the carrier that has been worked, and the second buffer position is used to buffer the carrier that has not been worked.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the working plates buffered in the second buffer position of the common track come from the unloading station or the second buffer position of the preceding common track, and the unworking plates buffered in the first buffer position of the common track come from the first buffer position of the preceding common track.
[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, multiple common tracks are arranged in the direction of transporting the carrier plates. The first unused carrier plate enters the picking station of the first common track for picking, the second unused carrier plate enters the picking station of the second common track for picking, and so on.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the operating logic of the obstacle avoidance mechanism is to first raise the hydraulic buffer to block the conveying plate, and then raise the plate and lower the hydraulic buffer so that other plates can continue to be conveyed from under the raised plate.
[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the device includes a feeding gripping component, a working component, and a discharging gripping component. When all the workpieces on the unworking plate are removed and become an empty plate, the workpieces gripped by the feeding gripping component and the workpieces on the working component correspond to the empty plate.
[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the empty plate is conveyed to the unloading station and the unloading gripping component is ready to place the workpiece into the empty plate, the workpiece gripped by the unloading gripping component and the workpiece on the working component correspond to the empty plate.
[0016] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention.

[0028] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method for sorting and transporting multiple devices on a common track according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the sorting and conveying method for a common track when multiple devices are combined according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0030] Step 1: Combine multiple devices 1, with each device 1 corresponding to a common track 10, and connect the common tracks 10 of two adjacent devices 1 in series. The common track 10 unidirectionally transports the carrier plate carrying the workpiece, and the carrier plate can be transported from the first device 1 to the last device 1.
[0031] Step 2: Divide the common track 10 into four stations along the conveying direction of the carrier plate, namely the material picking station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material unloading station 14. At the same time, set the conveying logic of the common track 10, and control the conveying of the carrier plate through the conveying logic of the common track 10. Among them, the carrier plate carrying the unprocessed workpiece is marked as the unworked carrier plate, the carrier plate carrying the processed workpiece is marked as the worked carrier plate, and the carrier plate without workpiece is marked as the empty carrier plate.
[0032] Step 3: Set the operating logic of device 1, control the workpiece to perform the operation through the operating logic of device 1, and match the operating logic of device 1 with the conveying logic of common track 10 so that the conveying process of the carrier plate matches the operation process of the workpiece.
[0033] Step 4: Set the buffering logic of the first buffer bit 12 and the second buffer bit 13. For the common track 10 at the beginning of the carrier conveying direction, the first buffer bit 12 and the second buffer bit 13 are used to buffer unused carriers; for the common track 10 at the end of the carrier conveying direction, the first buffer bit 12 and the second buffer bit 13 are used to buffer used carriers; when there is a shortage of material at the picking station 11 of a certain device 1, according to the distance priority principle, the unused carrier closest to the picking station 11 is found along the reverse of the carrier conveying direction, and the unused carrier is conveyed to the picking station 11.
[0034] Of course, in this embodiment, a material clearing operation is required before step one, that is, to check whether there is material on each device 1 and the corresponding common track 10. When there is material, the material is transported out and cleared to ensure that there is no other material before operation.
[0035] This invention combines multiple devices 1 and connects them in series via a common track 10, allowing multiple devices 1 to share a single transport path for the carrier plate. This design effectively saves space. The common track 10 is divided into a material handling station 11, a first buffer station 12, a second buffer station 13, and a material unloading station 14. On one hand, the material handling station 11, the material unloading station 14, and the devices 1 work together to ensure that the corresponding carrier plate can continue to be transported forward during workpiece processing. On the other hand, the first buffer station 12 and the second buffer station 13 buffer the carrier plate, allowing the nearest buffered carrier plate to be transported to a device 1 when needed, thus shortening the feeding time. Furthermore, the buffering function of the first buffer station 12 and the second buffer station 13 also prevents carrier plate blockage. In this embodiment, the multiple devices 1 are combined in parallel. In this case, the devices 1 are located on one side of the common track 10, and the workpieces transported on the common track 10 need to be picked up and processed inside the devices 1, and then placed back onto the common track 10 for continued transport. Of course, multiple devices 1 can also be connected in series. When connected in series, device 1 is located above the common track 10 and directly operates on the workpieces conveyed on the common track 10.
[0036] In step two, obstacle avoidance mechanisms are provided in the material handling station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material unloading station 14. These obstacle avoidance mechanisms are used to lift the carrier plate to facilitate the forward conveying of subsequent carrier plates. Specifically, the obstacle avoidance mechanism includes a hydraulic buffer, a lifting component, and a check mechanism. The operating logic of the obstacle avoidance mechanism is as follows: first, the hydraulic buffer is raised to block the carrier plate in the conveying process; the check mechanism prevents the carrier plate from reversing; then, the lifting component lifts the carrier plate and lowers the hydraulic buffer. After lifting the carrier plate, the lifting component has a channel inside that connects with the common track 10, so that other carrier plates can pass through the channel under the lifted carrier plate and continue to be conveyed.
[0037] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3It is known that the public track 10 includes a base plate 31, a first track 32, a second track 33, and a clearance mechanism 34. The first track 32 and the second track 33 are symmetrically arranged on the base plate 31. The clearance mechanism 34 is located between the first track 32 and the second track 33. The first track 32 and the second track 33 are used to support the transport of the carrier plate on the transport plane 303. The clearance mechanism 34 has a support surface 301 and a transport channel 302 located below the support surface 301. During lifting, the support surface 301 lifts the carrier plate upward, and at the same time, the transport channel 302 rises, so that the transport channel 302 is connected with the transport plane 303, so that the subsequent carrier plate can continue to be transported along the transport plane 303.
[0038] Of course, the avoidance mechanism of the present invention is not limited to this. A gripping mechanism can also be set to grip the entire carrier plate and lift it to avoid obstacles, as long as the lifting of the carrier plate does not affect the subsequent transport of the carrier plate.
[0039] Furthermore, in step two, the conveying logic of the common track 10 is to convey the unworked plate to the picking station 11, mark the unworked plate as an empty plate after picking up the material, and convey the empty plate to the unloading station 14 to receive the workpiece after the work is completed, so that the empty plate is marked as a work-completed plate.
[0040] In step three, the operating logic of equipment 1 is to sequentially grab the workpieces on the unworked carrier plate on the material picking station 11 and put them into equipment 1 for operation until all the workpieces on the unworked carrier plate are removed and become empty carrier plates. While equipment 1 is operating, the empty carrier plate is transported to the material unloading station 14. Equipment 1 puts the workpieces after operation into the empty carrier plate in sequence, so that the empty carrier plate becomes a work-operated carrier plate.
[0041] That is to say, the common track 10 corresponding to each device 1 takes out the workpiece at the material picking station 11. While the workpiece is being processed, the empty plate is synchronously transported to the unloading station 14 to receive the processed workpiece. In other words, the working process of device 1 is matched with the conveying process of the common track 10.
[0042] Furthermore, the equipment 1 includes a feeding gripping component, a working component, and a discharging gripping component. When all workpieces on the unworked loading plate are removed, resulting in an empty loading plate, the workpieces gripped by the feeding gripping component and the workpieces on the working component correspond to the empty loading plate. Even further, when the empty loading plate is conveyed to the unloading station 14, and the discharging gripping component is ready to place workpieces onto the empty loading plate, the workpieces gripped by the discharging gripping component and the workpieces on the working component correspond to the empty loading plate.
[0043] In other words, when all workpieces on the unused carrier plate are removed, creating an empty carrier plate, it is necessary to ensure that the workpieces corresponding to that carrier plate are on the loading gripper and the working component. At this time, the workpieces on the unloading gripper correspond to the previous carrier plate. When the empty carrier plate is conveyed to the unloading station 14, it is necessary to ensure that the workpieces corresponding to that carrier plate are on the unloading gripper and the working component. At this time, the workpieces on the loading gripper correspond to the next carrier plate. This design ensures stable and rapid operation between a single device 1 and its corresponding common track 10.
[0044] In this embodiment, four workpieces are placed on the carrier plate. The loading and unloading gripping components have two gripping positions, and the working component has two working positions. The loading gripping component grabs the first two workpieces and places them on the working component for processing. Then, it grabs the remaining two workpieces in the second batch. At this time, the carrier plate can move from the picking station 11 to the unloading station 14. When the carrier plate moves from the picking station 11 to the unloading station 14, the unloading gripping component grabs the first two workpieces from the working component, while the loading gripping component places the second batch of two workpieces on the working component for processing. This realizes that the carrier plate conveying process and the workpiece processing flow process correspond to each other, further improving efficiency.
[0045] In step four, for the common track 10 located between the beginning and end of the carrier conveying direction, the first buffer position 12 is used to buffer the carrier that has been worked, and the second buffer position 13 is used to buffer the carrier that has not been worked.
[0046] The working plates cached in the second buffer position 13 of the common track 10 come from the unloading station 14 or the second buffer position 13 of the preceding common track 10, and the unworking plates cached in the first buffer position 12 of the common track 10 come from the first buffer position 12 of the preceding common track 10.
[0047] In other words, the first buffer position 12 and the second buffer position 13 on the common track 10 at the beginning of the conveying direction are only used to buffer unused conveying plates, and the first buffer position 12 and the second buffer position 13 on the common track 10 at the end of the conveying direction are only used to buffer used conveying plates. The unused conveying plates buffered by the first buffer position 12 on other common tracks 10 come from the first buffer position 12 of the previous common track 10, and the used conveying plates buffered by the second buffer position 13 come from the unloading station 14 or the second buffer position 13 of the previous common track 10. This ensures that the unused conveying plates buffered by the first buffer position 12 on the intermediate common track 10 can be used in a timely manner to replenish the unloading station 11 or the first buffer position 12 on the next common track 10.
[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, multiple common tracks 10 are arranged according to the transport direction of the carrier plates. The first unused carrier plate enters the picking station 11 of the first common track 10 for picking, the second unused carrier plate enters the picking station 11 of the second common track 10 for picking, and so on. That is, in the initial transport stage, carrier plates are first transported to the picking station 11 of each common track 10, thereby ensuring that each device 1 can start working quickly.
[0049] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 For illustrative purposes, the material picking station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material discharging station 14 on the first common track 10 in this embodiment are labeled as M1, M2, M3, and M4, respectively; the material picking station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material discharging station 14 on the second common track 10 are labeled as M5, M6, M7, and M8, respectively; the material picking station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material discharging station 14 on the third common track 10 are labeled as M9, M10, M11, and M12, respectively; and the material picking station 11, the first buffer station 12, the second buffer station 13, and the material discharging station 14 on the fourth common track 10 are labeled as M13, M14, M15, and M16, respectively.
[0050] For the first common track 10, the carrier plate is taken from M1 and becomes an empty carrier plate, then flows to M4 to receive the completed workpiece, and then is conveyed backward for discharge; for the second common track 10, the carrier plate is taken from M5 and becomes an empty carrier plate, then flows to M8 to receive the completed workpiece, and then is conveyed backward for discharge; for the third common track 10, the carrier plate is taken from M9 and becomes an empty carrier plate, then flows to M12 to receive the completed workpiece, and then is conveyed backward for discharge; for the fourth common track 10, the carrier plate is taken from M13 and becomes an empty carrier plate, then flows to M16 to receive the completed workpiece, and then is conveyed backward for discharge.
[0051] When any device 1 is short of material, for the first common track 10, unused pallets enter M1 for loading, then enter M2 or M3 for buffering; unused pallets in M2 or M3 enter M5 for loading, with M3 being loaded first according to the distance priority principle; unused pallets in M2, M3, or M6 enter M9 for loading, with M6 being loaded first according to the distance priority principle; unused pallets in M2, M3, M6, or M10 enter M13 for loading, with M10 being loaded first according to the distance priority principle. When the first buffer position 12 of a certain device 1 is short of material, according to the distance priority principle, the unused pallet closest to the first buffer position 12 is found along the reverse direction of the pallet conveying direction and is transported to the first buffer position 12 for buffering. That is, after the carrier plate of M10 is conveyed to M13, it is necessary to search forward to see if there is material in M6, M3 and M2 in turn, and convey the nearest unused carrier plate to M10. Similarly, if M6 is short of material, it is necessary to search forward to see if there is material in M3 and M2 in turn.
[0052] After each device 1 completes its operation, the processed plates in M4 on the first common track 10 are sequentially conveyed to M7, M11, M14, and M15 for buffering before being discharged. Similarly, the processed plates in M8 on the second common track 10 are sequentially conveyed to M11, M14, and M15 for buffering before being discharged. Finally, the processed plates in M12 on the third common track 10 are conveyed to M14 and M15 for buffering before being discharged. In other words, except for the first device 1, when the second buffer position 13 of a certain device 1 is short of material, the nearest processed plate to the second buffer position 13 is found along the reverse direction of the plate conveying direction, following the distance priority principle, and that processed plate is conveyed to the second buffer position 13 for buffering.
[0053] In summary, the multiple devices 1 of the present invention are arranged in parallel, and the common track 10 on adjacent devices 1 is connected in series. The carrier plates share a common conveying path, eliminating the need for each device 1 to have a separate feeding mechanism, thus reducing the number of devices and the space occupied. At the same time, by setting a reasonable sorting and conveying method, blockages in the carrier plate conveying process are avoided, and the conveying and processing are made to correspond, thereby improving the workpiece processing efficiency.
