[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 13 In this invention, a high-speed continuous flipping conveyor line is disclosed, which includes a fixed conveying section 100 and a telescopic conveying section 200. The third direction is the side view direction and the fourth direction is the bottom view direction.
[0036] The fixed conveying section includes a support 101. Optionally, the support 101 includes a frame 1011 and a plurality of legs 1012, with the plurality of legs 1012 arranged in an array below the frame 1011. The length direction of the frame 1011 is the conveying direction, and the width direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction.
[0037] The support frame 101 is equipped with a first double-row conveyor belt 102, a swing arm mechanism 103, a stop structure 104, a support structure 105, a second double-row conveyor belt 106, a third double-row conveyor belt 107, and a single-row conveyor belt 108. Specifically, the first double-row conveyor belt 102, the swing arm mechanism 103, the stop structure 104, the support structure 105, the second double-row conveyor belt 106, the third double-row conveyor belt 107, and the single-row conveyor belt 108 are all located above the frame 1011.
[0038] The first double-row conveyor belt 102 is connected to the telescopic conveyor section 200. Specifically, the belt surface of the first double-row conveyor belt 102 is arranged laterally, and the belt surface of the first double-row conveyor belt 102 is flush with the conveyor surface of the telescopic conveyor section 200.
[0039] The swing arm mechanism 103 is disposed between the first double-row conveyor belt 102 and the supporting structure 105. The stop structure 104 is disposed on both sides of the supporting structure 105. The swing arm mechanism 103 is used to realize the flipping of the box 100. The second double-row conveyor belt 106 is engaged with the supporting structure 105. The third double-row conveyor belt 107 is disposed on one outer side of the second double-row conveyor belt 106. The single-row conveyor belt 108 is disposed on the other outer side of the second double-row conveyor belt 106. The belt surface of the third double-row conveyor belt 107 and the belt surface of the single-row conveyor belt 108 are both disposed on the side to contact the box 300, thereby driving the box 300 to move.
[0040] Specifically, the swing arm mechanism 103 includes a rotating shaft 1031, a swing drive component 1032, and several swing arms 1033. The swing drive component 1032 is mounted on the bracket 101 and drivenly connected to the rotating shaft 1031. The rotating shaft 1031 is mounted on the bracket 101, and its axis is perpendicular to the conveying direction. The several swing arms 1033 are arranged in an array, with one end of each swing arm 1033 connected to one side of the rotating shaft 1031. More specifically, the swing drive component 1032 is mounted below the frame 1011. Optionally, the swing drive component 1032 is a servo motor, and a reducer is provided to reduce the speed of the servo motor. The rotating shaft 1031 is mounted above the frame 1011 and can rotate under the drive of the swing drive component 1032, such as a servo motor. The box 300 has a flat cubic structure, which can be placed flat (with the larger side horizontal) during transportation. When it is about to reach the palletizing area, it can be flipped up and placed vertically (with the larger side vertical), making it convenient for people or robots to pick up the box 300. The servo motor, reducer, and rotating shaft 1031 can be set up using existing technology, which will not be described in detail here. The height of the single-row conveyor belt 108 is lower than the height of the third double-row conveyor belt 107. A robot is set up near the single-row conveyor belt 108 to pick up the box 300, and this area is the palletizing area.
[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, the supporting structure 105 includes a support 1051 and a plurality of nylon strips 1052 disposed on the support 1051, wherein the extending direction of the nylon strips 1052 is the same as the conveying direction. For example, as Figure 3 As shown, the nylon strip 1052 is a long strip structure, and there are two of them, located on both sides of the support 1051. The length direction of each nylon strip 1052 is the same as the conveying direction. The distance between the two nylon strips 1052 is less than the distance between the second double-row conveyor belts 106. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the nylon strip 1052 is higher than the rotating shaft 1031 and the swing arm 1033 is horizontal. The swing arm 1033 can rotate 90 degrees under the action of the swing drive 1032. Preferably, a number of rollers 1034 are provided at the end of the swing arm 1033 that contacts the housing 300.
[0042] Two stop structures 104 are provided, located on the two outer sides of the support 1051. Each stop structure 104 includes a first driving member and a first buffer block. The first driving member is mounted on the bracket 101, and the first driving member and the first buffer block are drivenly connected. The first buffer block faces the first double-row conveyor belt 102. Optionally, in this embodiment, the stop structure 104 is basically the same as the subsequent material distribution stop structure 109, so it can be referred to... Figure 6 and Figure 7And as described later in the section on the material distribution stop structure 109, preferably, the difference between the stop structure 104 and the material distribution stop structure 109 is that the first buffer block in the stop structure 104 is a C-shaped block structure, and the C-shaped block structure is installed in such a way as... Figure 6 On the roller shaft structure b shown, the largest surface of the C-shaped block faces upward at an angle toward the first double-row conveyor belt 102 to increase the contact area between the stop structure 104 and the box 300.
[0043] Preferably, a side baffle 130 is provided on the outer side of the swing arm mechanism 103, the supporting structure 105, and the first double-row conveyor belt 102. The side baffle 130 can laterally limit the position of the box 300. A photoelectric sensor 131 is provided on the side baffle 130, which is used to detect the positioning signal of the box 300.
[0044] The second double-row conveyor belt 106 includes two second conveyor belts, the ends of which are close to the two nylon strips 1052 and have overlapping areas in the conveying direction. The third double-row conveyor belt 107 includes two third conveyor belts, which overlap with the two nylon strips 1052 in the conveying direction. In this embodiment, the first double-row conveyor belt 102, the second double-row conveyor belt 106, and the third double-row conveyor belt 107 have similar structural designs, differing only in size. Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, each conveyor includes two conveyor belts c, two drive shafts d, four rollers e, and a conveyor belt drive component f. The conveyor belt drive component f is driven by one or two drive shafts d, and the connection method can adopt existing technology. The four rollers e are sleeved on both ends of the two drive shafts d, and the two conveyor belts c are respectively sleeved on the two rollers e on the two drive shafts d. The first double-row conveyor belt 102 is smaller in size, while the second double-row conveyor belt 106 is larger. A frame g is provided between the two conveyor belts c of the second double-row conveyor belt 106, wherein the frame g and the second double-row conveyor belt 106 do not contact each other. A lifting drive component k is provided at the lower end of the frame g. Optionally, the lifting drive component k is one of a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The lifting drive component k is mounted on a bracket 101. Simultaneously, two vertically extending linear slide rails l are provided at the lower end of the frame g, which are mounted on the bracket 101. The lower end of the frame g is slidably connected to the linear slide rails l through a sliding block m. The lifting drive component k moves the frame g up and down. The belt surfaces of the first double-row conveyor belt 102 and the second double-row conveyor belt 106 are arranged laterally, while the belt surface of the third double-row conveyor belt 107 is arranged laterally, allowing it to contact the side of the housing 300. Upon contact, the housing 300 is moved due to friction. The single-row conveyor belt 108 has only one conveyor belt c on each of the two drive shafts d, and its other structure is similar to that of the first double-row conveyor belt 102. In this embodiment, the belt surfaces of the single-row conveyor belt 108 and the third double-row conveyor belt 107 are vertical, while the second double-row conveyor belt 106 is horizontal, contacting the bottom surface and two opposite sides of the housing 300 respectively. This provides power to the housing 300 from three sides, driving its movement and resulting in a more effective and stable movement of the housing. Optionally, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt drive components f are all stepless speed-regulating motors with stepless speed regulation function. Preferably, since various conveyor belt structures and the housing 300 pass through the upper part of the frame 1011 of the support 101, in this embodiment, all drive components, such as the various motors or cylinders in front, are located on the lower side of the frame 1011, and the body of the drive component extends downward.
[0045] The support frame 101 is provided with several material distribution and stopping structures 109 near the telescopic conveyor section 200, and these structures are arranged in an array along the width direction of the conveyor. The structure of each material distribution and stopping structure 109 is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, optionally, the material distribution and stopping structure 109 includes a stopping drive and a buffer, which can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The buffer includes a triangular plate, the lower end of which is connected to the stopping drive. The left side of the triangular plate faces the first double-row conveyor belt 102, and the top right side of the triangular plate is provided with a roller shaft structure b (including a shaft and a roller, with the roller sleeved on the shaft). The roller shaft structure b faces the telescopic conveyor section 200 and is used to block the box 300 transported from the telescopic conveyor section 200. Two stop structures 104 are provided; in other embodiments, three or more may also be provided. The first driving component of the stop structure 104 is a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The first buffer block is the same as the buffer component. The left side of the first buffer block faces the second double-row conveyor belt 106, and the right side of the first buffer block faces the first double-row conveyor belt 102. In this embodiment, two material distribution and stopping structures 109 are set to make the stopping of the box 300 more balanced and prevent the box 300 from being offset due to one material distribution and stopping structure 109, causing the box 300 to twist in the conveyor line and thus causing jamming.
[0046] The single-row conveyor belt 108 is slidably mounted on the bracket 101 and the distance between the single-row conveyor belt 108 and the third double-row conveyor belt 107 can be adjusted to accommodate boxes 300 of different sizes.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, a linear guide rail 110 is provided on the frame 1011 of the support 101. The lower part of the single-row conveyor belt 108 is connected to the linear guide rail 110 via a slider (not shown in the figure). In order to realize the adjustment of the single-row conveyor belt 108, an adjustment structure 120 is also provided. The adjustment structure 120 includes a round rod 121 and a column 122. The column 122 is provided on the side of the frame 1011 of the support 101. The round rod 121 is movably inserted through the column 122. Both ends of the round rod 121 extend out of the column 122. One end of the round rod 121 is exposed, and the other end of the round rod 121 extends into the lower part of the single-row conveyor belt 108 and is connected to the slider. During adjustment, the round rod 121 can be pushed or pulled to realize the adjustment of the single-row conveyor belt 108. Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two linear guide rails 110 and two adjustment structures 120, which can be pulled or pushed by holding the round rods 121 of the two adjustment structures 120 with both hands. To reduce the distance between the single-row conveyor belt 108 and the third double-row conveyor belt 107, the round rod 121 can be pushed to move the single-row conveyor belt 108 closer to the third double-row conveyor belt 107. To increase the distance between the single-row conveyor belt 108 and the third double-row conveyor belt 107, the round rod 121 can be pulled to move the single-row conveyor belt 108 away from the third double-row conveyor belt 107. Furthermore, a locking element 123 is included. The locking element 123 is a screw, set screw, or similar structure. The locking element 123 is movably inserted into the column 122 and can abut against the round rod 121. After adjustment, the locking element 123 is screwed in to abut against the round rod 121 to lock and fix the round rod 121. When adjustment is needed, the locking element 123 is unscrewed.
[0048] Furthermore, a robotic arm is provided on the outside of the single-row conveyor belt 108 for picking up the box 300 placed on the second double-row conveyor belt 106.
[0049] The telescopic conveyor section 200 includes a roller structure 201, a scissor structure 202 and several legs 203. Each of the two outer sides of the roller structure 201 is connected to a scissor structure 202, and the several legs 203 are connected to the scissor structure 202. The several legs 203 are arranged in an array.
[0050] Specifically, the roller structure 201 includes multiple rollers 2011 arranged in an array along the conveying direction. The upper end faces of the rollers 2011 in the array form the conveying surface of the telescopic conveying section 200. There are two scissor structures 202 arranged side by side. Each scissor structure 202 includes an array of interconnected X-shaped structures. Each X-shaped structure includes four branches. The upper branch at the rear of the previous X-shaped structure connects to the upper branch at the front of the next X-shaped structure, and the lower branch at the rear of the previous X-shaped structure connects to the lower branch at the front of the next X-shaped structure. A roller 201 is installed at the connection point h of one upper branch. At one end of 1, the two upper branch connection points h of the two corresponding scissor structures 202 can be installed at both ends of a roller 2011. Preferably, in this embodiment, a plurality of vertical limiting plates 2021 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the two scissor structures 202. The two ends of each limiting plate 2021 are respectively connected to the two connection points h formed by the two X-shaped structures within the same scissor structure 202. The limiting plates 2021 are vertically arranged and extend beyond the upper end face of the roller 2011. The setting of the limiting plates 2021 prevents the rollers 2011 from squeezing each other and stopping due to over-compression of the telescopic conveyor section 200, thereby losing driving force. Each scissor lift structure 202 has its top end extending beyond the conveying surface of the roller structure 201. Bearings 2022 are arrayed at the top end of each scissor lift structure 202. Specifically, the upper part of the limiting plate 2021 is bent, and the bearings 2022 are located in the bent area. The axis of the bearings 2022 is vertical, and the outer circumferential surface of the bearings 2022 makes rolling contact with the side of the housing 300, preventing the housing 300 from jamming between conveyor lines due to directional correction. Preferably, one end of each leg 203 extends laterally from the scissor lift structure 202, and a rubber limiting block 204 is provided on the extended portion of each leg 203. The rubber limiting block 204 has various holes for installing cables and air pipes. When the telescopic conveyor section 200 extends or retracts, the cables and air pipes can extend and retract synchronously with the telescopic line.
[0051] Furthermore, since the telescopic conveyor section 200 needs to move in tandem with the fixed conveyor section 100 at the front end, the support leg 203 near the support 101 is equipped with a caster wheel 2031, and the other support legs 203 are equipped with fixed casters 2032.
[0052] Preferably, the support legs 203 are telescopic. The telescopic mechanism of the support legs 203 can employ existing technology, which will not be elaborated here. This configuration can adapt to various heights. For example, in one scenario, each support leg 203 can be extended vertically, with different extension lengths forming a conveyor line with ramps or undulations, adapting to varying heights or obstacles. In this embodiment, for use with an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle, also known as an AGV cart), the length of the support legs 1012 of the bracket 101 is less than the length of the support legs 203. An AGV refers to a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices, capable of traveling along a predetermined navigation path, and possessing safety protection and various transfer functions. In industrial applications, these are driverless transport vehicles powered by rechargeable batteries. Their movement and behavior are generally controlled by a computer, for example, by using laser radar to determine the relative position of the AGV cart to the vehicle body, and then controlling the movement of the AGV cart by the computer. The robotic arm is placed on the AGV cart and is equipped with a 3D vision inspection camera to determine the picking position of the robotic arm. In use, the support legs 1012 of the bracket 101 are placed on the AGV cart, therefore, the length of the support legs 1012 of the bracket 101 is less than the length of the support legs 203.
[0053] Furthermore, a baffle 1013 is provided at the end of the support 101, that is, the end furthest from the telescopic conveyor section 200. A buffer structure 1014 is provided on the side of the baffle 1013 facing the conveyor surface. The buffer structure 1014 can be an elastic block or a spring assembly, which can effectively prevent the packaging box 300 from impacting the baffle 1013 at the end of the fixed conveyor section 100 and causing noise when the packaging box 300 moves rapidly through the conveyor line. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the box 300 from tipping backward due to impact. The fixing hole of the end baffle 1013 is a waist-shaped hole, which can be adjusted and adapted to the height of the packaging box 300 of different heights.
[0054] This invention provides a high-speed continuous flipping conveyor line with multiple operating modes, such as two stacking modes and one destacking mode. In the first stacking mode: the box 300 is placed on the first double-row conveyor belt 102 of the telescopic conveyor section 200 and sent to the fixed conveyor section 100, where it continues to be conveyed to the swing arm mechanism 103. Then, it is vertically flipped by the swing arm mechanism 103 and enters the second double-row conveyor belt 106 for conveying. Finally, it is picked up by a robotic arm. During this process, the stop structure 104 is at a relatively high position and needs to provide a stopping effect on the box 300. In the second stacking mode: the box... The box 300 is placed on the first double-row conveyor belt 102 of the telescopic conveyor section 200 and then conveyed to the swing arm mechanism 103. The swing arm mechanism 103 does not move or perform a flipping action. The box 300 remains flat and continues to be conveyed to the second double-row conveyor belt 106. Then, it is picked up by a robot. During this process, the stop structure 104 is in a relatively low position to avoid interfering with the box 300. The destacking mode is: the robot picks up the box 300 from the stacking cart and places it on the first double-row conveyor belt 102 of the fixed conveyor section 100, and then conveys it to the telescopic conveyor section 200.
[0055] This invention provides a high-speed continuous tilting conveyor line that automates the conveying and tilting of boxes 300, improving efficiency, eliminating manual labor, and reducing the workload of workers. The addition of robotic arms allows for palletizing and depalletizing, further increasing automation. For example, while similar conveyor lines in the industry typically have a cycle time of around 10 seconds, this invention completes the process in no more than 6 seconds. The weight of the packaging box 300 can reach up to 30 kg. The fixed conveyor sections 100 are all driven by double-row synchronous belts, effectively preventing instability or even tipping of the packaging box 300 caused by gaps in traditional roller conveyors (e.g., telescopic conveyor sections 200). The high-speed continuous tilting conveyor line of this application offers superior continuous stability compared to traditional roller conveyors. It effectively and reliably meets the changing orientation requirements of the packaging box 300. No human intervention is required, eliminating the arduous manual labor required during summer.
