Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to a transfer rack. Background Technology

[0002] When the wire spindles produced by the winding machine are transported to the subsequent production process, each spindle needs to be stored as a whole using a transfer cart or transfer frame. Then, the spindles are taken out one by one as needed for the next operation. Since a single spindle usually contains no fewer than ten spindles, and the hanging rod for suspending the spindles is long and only one end is fixed, the end used for storing and retrieving the spindles is prone to shaking, making it difficult to grasp them quickly and accurately. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure provides a transfer rack to solve or alleviate one or more technical problems in the prior art.

[0004] As one aspect of this disclosure, an embodiment provides a transfer rack, comprising:

[0005] The frame includes a base, uprights, and multiple hanging rods. The uprights are vertically installed at one end of the base, and one side of the uprights is connected to the fixed ends of the multiple hanging rods. The multiple hanging rods are arranged in multiple layers and suspended above the base. The items to be transported are stored in and taken out through the free ends of the multiple hanging rods.

[0006] The propulsion mechanism includes a push plate and a first power assembly connected to the push plate. The push plate has multiple through holes that match multiple hanging rods. The push plate is slidably mounted on the multiple hanging rods through the multiple through holes. The first power assembly drives the push plate to move the object to be transferred toward the free end.

[0007] The stabilizing mechanism includes support columns, support beams, and a second power assembly. Multiple support beams pass under each layer of multiple hanging rods, and both ends of the multiple support beams are connected to the support columns. The support beams are raised and lowered under the drive of the second power assembly, thereby supporting the hanging rods or objects to be transported above.

[0008] In one embodiment, the base is provided with first slide rails on both sides, which are parallel to multiple hanging rods, and the bottom of the support column is located in the first slide rails; when the propulsion mechanism drives the object to be transferred, the stabilizing mechanism maintains contact with the multiple hanging rods or the object to be transferred while moving towards the free end along with the object to be transferred.

[0009] In one embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism includes a first stabilizing mechanism and a second stabilizing mechanism;

[0010] In the first state where multiple hanging rods are fully loaded with the items to be transferred, the first stabilizing mechanism is located in the middle of the multiple hanging rods, and the second stabilizing mechanism is located at the rear of a group of items to be transferred, wherein the rear is close to the fixed end of the hanging rod.

[0011] In the second state, after some of the items to be transferred before the first stabilizing mechanism has been removed, the first stabilizing mechanism moves to the free end of multiple hanging rods, and the support beam of the first stabilizing mechanism separates from the hanging rods and descends to a preset height to avoid the remaining items to be transferred. At the same time, the second stabilizing mechanism moves to the middle of the multiple hanging rods.

[0012] In the third state, after all the items to be transferred have been removed, both the first and second stabilizing mechanisms are at the free ends of the multiple hanging rods.

[0013] In one embodiment, the support beam includes a vertical plate portion and a horizontal plate portion, with the bottom of the vertical plate portion perpendicularly connected to the horizontal plate portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the top of the vertical plate has an arcuate groove that matches the lower curved surface of the hanging rod. When the support beam and the corresponding hanging rod are in abutting state, the support beam surrounds at least a portion of the side of the hanging rod through the arcuate groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the arc surface of the arc groove is provided with multiple roller grooves, and rollers are provided in the roller grooves. Part of the circumferential surface of the roller is higher than the arc surface of the arc groove on both sides and the circumferential surface is directly opposite the center of the arc surface.

[0016] In one embodiment, the vertical plate is provided with a protective pad for abutting against the object to be transported. The protective pad includes a front side and a rear side, and the front side and the rear side have arc-shaped notches that match the arc-shaped groove. The top ends of the front side and the rear side are connected by connecting portions at both ends of the arc-shaped notches.

[0017] In one embodiment, the support column is provided with multiple second slide rails, the connectors at both ends of the support beam extend into the second slide rails, the support column is provided with a lifting rod, the lifting rod is connected to a second power assembly, and the lifting rod is connected to the connectors of the support beam through multiple connecting rods; the second power assembly drives the lifting rod to raise or lower the support beam.

[0018] In one embodiment, a plurality of second slide rails have a straight segment extending in the vertical direction and an arc segment extending downward from the vertical direction and gradually tending to extend in the horizontal direction; the connectors at both ends of the support beam include an upper column head and a lower column head. When the connector slides downward in the second slide rail, the lower column head enters the arc segment and generates a horizontal displacement. The horizontal displacement difference between the upper column head and the lower column head causes the support beam to tilt.

[0019] In one embodiment, a long strip-shaped slider is provided at the bottom of the support column, the slider is placed in the first slide rail, and the length of the slider is more than 3 times the diameter of the support column; a set of pulleys is provided on the upper and lower sides of both ends of the slider.

[0020] In one embodiment, at least two of the multiple hanging rods have a toothed rail extending axially on one side of their circumferential surface. The highest point of the toothed rail is lower than the surface of the circumferential surface. The toothed rail is connected to the output mechanism of the corresponding first power component. When the first power component is working, it drives the push plate to move on the multiple hanging rods.

[0021] The embodiments of this disclosure employ the above-described technical solution to reduce the swaying of the hanging pole during the movement of the transfer vehicle and the storage and retrieval of the items to be transferred, thereby improving the stability and storage and retrieval efficiency of the items to be transferred.

[0022] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0033] Figure 1 A side view of the transfer rack according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the transfer rack includes:

[0034] The frame includes a base 130, an upright plate 110, and multiple hanging rods 120. The upright plate 110 is vertically installed at one end of the base 130. One side of the upright plate 110 is connected to the fixed end of the multiple hanging rods 120. The multiple hanging rods 120 are suspended above the base 130 in multiple layers. The multiple hanging rods 120 can store and retrieve the items 400 to be transferred through their free ends.

[0035] The propulsion mechanism includes a push plate 310 and a first power component 320 connected to the push plate 310. The push plate 310 has multiple through holes that match multiple hanging rods 120. The push plate 310 is slidably mounted on the multiple hanging rods 120 through the multiple through holes. The first power component 320 is used to drive the push plate 310 to move the object to be transferred 400 toward the free end.

[0036] The stabilizing mechanism includes a support column 210, a support beam 220, and a second power component 230. Multiple support beams 220 pass under each layer of multiple hanging rods 120. The two ends of the multiple support beams 220 are connected to the support column 210. The support beams 220 are raised and lowered under the drive of the second power component 230, thereby supporting the hanging rods 120 above or the object to be transferred 400.

[0037] In this embodiment, the base 130 may be equipped with wheels for movement, allowing the frame to move on the ground or a track. The object to be transferred 400 may be cylindrical or disc-shaped, and has a hole at its central axis for connection with the hanging rod 120. Each hanging rod 120 can pick up the entire object to be transferred from production equipment or other transfer equipment, and then transport the object to be transferred to the sorting station, where it can be removed one by one by manual labor or robotic arms for subsequent processing. In one example, the object to be transferred 400 is a wire spindle produced by a winding machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown ( Figure 1 (The object to be transferred is not shown in the image). One side of the upright plate 110 is connected to six cylindrical hanging rods 120, which are suspended in three layers above the base 130.

[0038] The propulsion mechanism can move on the hanging rod 120, simultaneously pushing the items to be transferred on the rod. After the outermost item on the hanging rod is removed, the propulsion mechanism pushes the remaining items towards the free end of the hanging rod, facilitating retrieval and, in particular, enabling the robotic arm to grasp items from the same position each time. When using the robotic arm to grasp items, it can simultaneously grasp the outermost items on each hanging rod, improving storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0039] To prevent the hanging rods from swaying due to the movement of the transfer rack or the removal of the previous batch of items to be transferred, this embodiment of the disclosure includes a stabilizing mechanism. The stabilizing mechanism includes multiple support beams 220 passing under each layer of the multiple hanging rods 120, supporting the hanging rods. Simultaneously, the support beams 220, driven by a second power assembly 230, can adjust their height to abut or separate from the hanging rods 120, thereby avoiding obstruction to the movement or removal of the items to be transferred.

[0040] In one embodiment, the support column 210 can be positioned near the free end of the hanging rod 120, behind the outermost object to be transferred. Whenever the outermost object to be transferred is removed, the second power component 230 drives the support beam 220 to descend and separate from the hanging rod 120, descending to a designated height, such as... Figure 2 As shown. After the propulsion mechanism moves the remaining object to be transferred a fixed distance towards the free end of the hanging rod, the second power component 230 drives the support beam 220 to rise again and abut against the hanging rod, thereby supporting the hanging rod and preventing it from swaying. The support beam 220 can abut against the bottom of the object to be transferred or against the hanging rod through the gap between adjacent objects to be transferred. When the object to be transferred has a tubular inner core that protrudes outward, the support beam 220 can abut against the inner core through the gap between adjacent objects to be transferred.

[0041] According to the solution of the present disclosure, the shaking of the hanging rod and the object to be transferred can be reduced during the movement of the transfer rack and the removal of the object to be transferred, thereby improving stability and access efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, the base 130 is provided with first slide rails parallel to multiple hanging rods 120 on both sides, and the bottom of the support column 210 is provided in the first slide rails; when the propulsion mechanism drives the object to be transferred 400, the support beam 220 in the stabilizing mechanism keeps in contact with the multiple hanging rods 120 or the object to be transferred 400 while moving towards the free end along with the object to be transferred 400.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the bottom of the support column 210 of the stabilizing mechanism is located in the first slide rail, the stabilizing mechanism can move along the first slide rail. After the support column 210 and support beam 220 rise and abut against the hanging rod 120 or the object to be transferred 400, they can move together with the object to be transferred 400 until they reach the end of the hanging rod. Subsequently, the support beam 220 descends and separates from the hanging rod, so that the remaining object to be transferred is not obstructed.

[0044] According to the scheme of this disclosure embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism moves along with the object to be transferred, and the support beam does not need to be raised and lowered frequently, which can further improve stability and extraction efficiency.

[0045] In the above embodiment, setting the initial position of the stabilizing mechanism at the middle of the hanging rod provides good support. The object to be transferred is divided into front and rear parts by the stabilizing mechanism. When the stabilizing mechanism moves with the object 400 to the end position of its hanging rod, the support beam 220 separates from the hanging rod, causing the stabilizing mechanism to fail. This results in the rear part of the object to be transferred losing the auxiliary support of the stabilizing mechanism when it is taken out. To better solve the above problem, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism includes a first stabilizing mechanism 200a and a second stabilizing mechanism 200b. The bottoms of both the first stabilizing mechanism 200a and the second stabilizing mechanism 200b are slidably disposed in a first slide rail of the base 130. The two mechanisms work together to improve the efficiency of retrieving the object to be transferred; specifically, in combination... Figures 4A-4C As shown, the mating methods include:

[0046] like Figure 4A As shown, in the first state where multiple hanging rods 120 are fully loaded with the items to be transferred 400, the first stabilizing mechanism 200a is located in the middle of the multiple hanging rods 120, and the second stabilizing mechanism 200b is located at the rear of a group of items to be transferred 400, wherein the rear is close to the fixed end of the hanging rod 120.

[0047] As the first stabilizing mechanism 200a, the second stabilizing mechanism 200b, and the object to be transferred 400 move together towards the free end of the hanging rod under the drive of the propulsion mechanism, the transfer frame gradually changes into... Figure 4B The state shown.

[0048] Subsequently, in the second state where the portion of the items to be transferred 400 preceding the first stabilizing mechanism 200a has been removed, the first stabilizing mechanism 200a moves to the free end of the multiple hanging rods 120, and the support beam of the first stabilizing mechanism 200a separates from the hanging rods 120 and descends to a preset height to avoid the remaining items to be transferred 400. At this time, the second stabilizing mechanism 200b moves from the fixed end of the multiple hanging rods 120 to the middle, and can continue to follow the remaining items to be transferred 400 towards the free end.

[0049] Since the first stabilizing mechanism 200a separates from the hanging rod and the object to be transferred, the propulsion mechanism no longer drives the first stabilizing mechanism 200a. As the second stabilizing mechanism 200b and the object to be transferred 400 continue to move towards the free end of the hanging rod under the drive of the propulsion mechanism, the transfer frame gradually changes into... Figure 4C The state shown.

[0050] Subsequently, in the third state after all the items to be transferred 400 have been removed, both the first stabilizing mechanism 200a and the second stabilizing mechanism 200b are at the free ends of the multiple hanging rods 120.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first stabilizing mechanism 200a and the second stabilizing mechanism 200b work together in turn. When the first stabilizing mechanism 200a is separated from the hanging rod, the middle part of the hanging rod is already supported by the second stabilizing mechanism 200b to ensure that the front half of the hanging rod is always supported, further reducing the swaying of the free end, and also making it possible to smoothly remove the entire object to be transported on the hanging rod.

[0052] In one implementation, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the support beam 220 includes a vertical plate portion 221 and a horizontal plate portion 222, with the bottom of the vertical plate portion 221 being vertically connected to the horizontal plate portion 222.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vertical connection between the bottom of the vertical plate portion 221 and the horizontal plate portion 222 can improve the structural strength of the support beam 220. The vertical plate portion 221 extends into the gap between two adjacent objects to be transferred, and the vertical plate portion 221 can have a height greater than the radius of the objects to be transferred, so that the horizontal plate portion 222 is outside the gap, thereby allowing for a larger thickness.

[0054] According to the solution of this disclosure embodiment, the structural strength of the support beam is improved, and deformation of the support beam is avoided during use.

[0055] In one implementation, combined with Figure 2As shown, the top of the vertical plate 221 has an arc-shaped groove 223 that matches the lower curved surface of the hanging rod 120. When the support beam 220 and the corresponding hanging rod 120 are in abutting state, the support beam 220 surrounds at least part of the side of the hanging rod 120 through the arc-shaped groove 223.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support beam 220 abuts against the hanging rod 120 via the arc-shaped groove 223, so that the support beam 220 not only provides upward support to the hanging rod but also provides horizontal support, thus preventing the hanging rod from swaying in the horizontal direction. This is especially effective when the transfer frame turns, preventing the hanging rod and the object to be transferred from swaying left and right.

[0057] In one implementation, it is still combined with Figure 2 As shown, the arc surface of the arc groove 223 is provided with multiple roller grooves, and rollers 225 are provided in the roller grooves. Part of the circumferential surface of the roller 225 is higher than the arc surface of the arc groove 223 on both sides, and the circumferential surface is directly opposite the center of the arc surface.

[0058] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the support beam 220 contacts the hanging rod 120 through the roller 225 in the arc groove 223, thereby reducing friction when displacement occurs between the support beam 220 and the hanging rod.

[0059] Figure 5 for Figure 2 Cross-sectional view at point AA, as shown Figure 5 As shown, in one implementation, the vertical plate 221 is provided with a pad 224 for abutting against the object to be transferred 400. The pad 224 includes a front side 224-1 and a rear side 224-2. The front side 224-1 and the rear side 224-2 have arc-shaped notches that match the arc-shaped groove 223. The top ends of the front side 224-1 and the rear side 224-2 are connected by connecting portions 224-3 at both ends of the arc-shaped notches.

[0060] In this embodiment, the two sides of the arc groove 223 are surrounded by pads 224 made of a relatively soft material, so that the vertical plate 221 is isolated from the object to be transferred 400 and the object to be transferred 400 is protected.

[0061] Figure 6 for Figure 5 Another possible implementation involves the thickness of the pad 224 gradually increasing from top to bottom, with the thickness at its thickest point exceeding the minimum width of the gap between two adjacent items to be transferred. In this way, as the vertical plate 221 extends into the gap, it can separate two adjacent items to be transferred, thereby exposing the hanging rod. This allows the vertical plate 221 to directly contact the hanging rod, avoiding contact with the item to be transferred 400, thus further protecting the item.

[0062] In one embodiment, the support column 210 is provided with a plurality of second slide rails 213, the connectors 226 at both ends of the support beam 220 extend into the second slide rails 213, the support column 210 is provided with a lifting rod 211, the lifting rod 211 is connected to the second power assembly 230, and the lifting rod 211 is connected to the connectors 226 through a plurality of connecting rods 212; the second power assembly 230 drives the lifting rod 211 to raise or lower the support beam 220.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the stabilizing mechanism is positioned among multiple objects to be transferred 400, if an object to be transferred behind the support beam 220 of the stabilizing mechanism needs to pass over the support beam 220, the support beam 200 needs to lower its height so that it is positioned in the gap below the object to be transferred in the same layer, thus avoiding affecting the movement of the objects to be transferred in the same layer and the layers below. Therefore, a lifting rod 211 can be provided in the support column 210, and a second power assembly 230 can be provided on the outer side of the top or bottom of the support column 210. The second power assembly 230 drives the lifting rod 211 to generate vertical displacement, and the connecting rod 212 on the lifting rod 211 drives the support beam 220 to move up and down together.

[0064] Figure 7A , 7B This is a perspective structural diagram of the supporting column 210. Figure 7A and 7B This corresponds to two state changes. For example... Figure 7A and 7B As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of second slide rails 213 have straight segments extending in the vertical direction and arc segments extending downward from the vertical direction and gradually tending to extend in the horizontal direction; the connectors 226 at both ends of the support beam 220 include upper and lower columns, the connecting rod 212 is connected to the upper column of the connector 226, when the connector 226 slides downward in the second slide rail 213, the lower column enters the arc segment and generates horizontal displacement, and the horizontal displacement difference between the upper and lower columns causes the support beam 220 to tilt.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support beam 220 first descends in the straight section of the second slide rail 213. After most of the support beam 220 exits from the gap between the objects to be transferred, the lower column of the support beam 220 is guided by the arc section to generate horizontal displacement, causing the support beam 220 to tilt and quickly reduce the space occupied in the vertical direction.

[0066] In one implementation, such as Figure 7A As shown, the bottom of the support column 210 is provided with a long strip-shaped slider 214, which is placed in the first slide rail. The length of the slider 214 is more than 3 times the diameter of the support column 210. A set of pulleys 215 is provided on the upper and lower sides of both ends of the slider 214.

[0067] In this embodiment, the stability of the support column 210 can be enhanced by the elongated slider 214, and the support column 210 moves more smoothly by having a set of pulleys 215 on each of the upper and lower sides.

[0068] In one embodiment, at least two of the multiple hanging rods 120 have a toothed rail extending axially on one side of their circumferential surface. The highest point of the toothed rail is lower than the surface of the circumferential surface. The toothed rail is connected to the output mechanism of the corresponding first power component 320. When the first power component 320 is working, it drives the push plate 310 to move on the multiple hanging rods 120.

[0069] In this embodiment, a toothed rail is embedded in the hanging rod 120. The first power component 320 of the propulsion mechanism cooperates with the toothed rail, thereby driving the push plate 310 to move on multiple hanging rods 120 when the first power component 320 is working. To improve the stability of the propulsion mechanism, the propulsion mechanism has at least two first power components 320, and the multiple first power components 320 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center points of the multiple hanging rods 120. For example, when the hanging rods are in 3 layers and 2 columns, the two first power components 320 can be set at the positions of the two hanging rods corresponding to the middle layer on the push plate, or they can be set at the positions of the left hanging rod of the first layer and the right hanging rod of the third layer.

The plurality of second slide rails have a straight segment extending in the vertical direction and an arc segment extending downward from the vertical direction and gradually tending to extend in the horizontal direction; the connectors at both ends of the support beam include an upper column head and a lower column head. When the connector slides downward in the second slide rail, the lower column head enters the arc segment and generates a horizontal displacement. The displacement difference between the upper column head and the lower column head in the horizontal direction causes the support beam to tilt.

2. The transfer frame according to claim 1, wherein, The base is provided with first slide rails on both sides, which are parallel to the multiple hanging rods. The bottom of the support column is located in the first slide rail. When the propulsion mechanism drives the object to be transferred, the stabilizing mechanism remains in contact with the multiple hanging rods or the object to be transferred while moving towards the free end along with the object to be transferred.

3. The transfer frame according to claim 2, wherein, The stabilizing mechanism includes a first stabilizing mechanism and a second stabilizing mechanism; In the first state where the multiple hanging rods are fully loaded with the items to be transferred, the first stabilizing mechanism is located in the middle of the multiple hanging rods, and the second stabilizing mechanism is located at the rear of a group of items to be transferred, wherein the rear is close to the fixed end of the hanging rod. In the second state, after some of the items to be transferred before the first stabilizing mechanism has been removed, the first stabilizing mechanism moves to the free end of the multiple hanging rods, and the support beam of the first stabilizing mechanism separates from the hanging rods and descends to a preset height to avoid the remaining items to be transferred. At the same time, the second stabilizing mechanism moves to the middle of the multiple hanging rods. In the third state, after all the items to be transferred have been removed, both the first stabilizing mechanism and the second stabilizing mechanism are at the free ends of the multiple hanging rods.
