Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soft furniture production, and in particular to a soft package production line and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soft furniture mainly refers to furniture made of sponge and fabric. Its manufacturing process mainly relies on manual craftsmanship, including nailing the inner frame, laying the base cloth, gluing the sponge, cutting, sewing the outer cover and the final handicraft process. Soft furniture is not only diverse in style and flexible in size, and can be customized according to consumer needs, but also comfortable, soft, easy to clean and maintain, and durable. Common soft furniture includes sofas, beds, etc., among which sofas and beds occupy an important position in the market.

[0003] Soft packing is also an indispensable operation process in the production process of soft furniture. When implementing soft packing operation on formed furniture frames such as sofas, it is necessary to carry out spring installation, seat frame installation, inner support installation, inner back installation, outer support installation, outer back installation, skirt hem rivet installation and finally back covering and inspection in sequence. The above operations are production line operations that can be understood by technicians in this field.

[0004] In the existing soft-pack production line, a conveyor belt like a conventional production line is usually used to carry out conventional transmission and assembly line production of furniture. However, since each workstation in the furniture production corresponds to a long processing time, the production line's track needs to be repeatedly started and stopped during production and processing, which lacks continuity. At the same time, there is uncertainty in the processing time of each workstation. For example, in the production process of sofa furniture, the armrest position and the inner back or outer back have different working hours corresponding to different working areas. Therefore, after the track stops, there may be a workstation with faster processing that is stranded and waiting for other workstations to finish before starting the track transmission again, which seriously affects the furniture production efficiency. Therefore, how to design a soft-pack production line with better continuity to improve the furniture production efficiency has become a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2, shown is a soft-package production line in the first embodiment of the present invention, including a first Fulai wheel line 1, a plurality of positioning brackets 2 equidistantly arranged on the first Fulai wheel line 1, a plurality of processing stands 3 slidably arranged on the first Fulai wheel line 1 and used to carry soft-package furniture, an auxiliary production line arranged on the periphery of the first Fulai wheel line 1, and an inspection assembly arranged near one side of the first Fulai wheel line 1, each group of processing stands 3 is independently movable on the first Fulai wheel line 1, the inspection assembly is used to collect the soft-package furniture on the processing stands 3, the auxiliary production line includes a second Fulai wheel arranged around the periphery of the first Fulai wheel line 1 Line 4, and multiple groups of flip unloading components 5 slidingly arranged on the second Furley wheel line 4, the inspection assembly includes a mechanical arm 6 and an inspection table 7 arranged in sequence near one side of the first Furley wheel line 1, the mechanical arm 6 is arranged between the inspection table 7 and the first Furley wheel line 1, and the soft-packaged furniture on the processing stand 3 sliding to the relative position thereof is transported to the inspection table 7 by the mechanical arm 6. It should be noted that the Furley wheel line, also known as the unpowered telescopic conveyor line or the Furley wheel telescopic conveyor line, is a conveyor that uses rollers (Furley wheels) as the conveying medium and uses retractable components as the frame. Its components include rollers (Furley wheels), telescopic sheets, handles, legs, casters, etc. The Furley wheel telescopic line has the characteristics of small footprint, flexible telescopicity and adjustable conveying direction. The height of its legs can be adjusted, and the bottom is equipped with universal casters with brakes for easy movement. It can form straight sections, S-shaped and arc sections as needed, and the production lines in this application are all composed of the Fulai wheel line as the main line, which greatly meets the diversified design of soft-package production. The production line layout can be achieved by adjusting the Fulai wheel line according to the needs of soft-package processing. In addition, the robot arm 6 is an understandable technology in this industry and will not be elaborated on here. It should be noted that the flipping and unloading component 5 is mainly composed of a rectangular frame connected by a second Fulai wheel line 4, a second robot arm slidingly arranged on both sides of the rectangular frame, and an electric shaft arranged in sequence near the clamping end of the second robot arm. In some optional implementations, the working principle of the flipping and unloading component 5 can be that after moving to the relative position of the processing stand 3, the two second robot arms extend toward the processing stand 3 and clamp the two sides of the soft-package furniture on the processing stand 3, and then the second robot arm is driven by the electric shaft to flip in the rectangular frame, thereby realizing the clamping and unloading of the soft-package furniture on the processing stand 3 and the flipping operation of the soft-package furniture by the auxiliary staff.

[0039] Furthermore, an in-place sensor is provided between two adjacent positioning brackets 2. It should be noted that the in-place sensor is a device for detecting whether an object has reached a set position and outputting a signal, also known as a position sensor, a limiter, etc. Its main function is to transfer an object from an unordered position to an ordered position, and it can be used as a common detection element in a mechanical device. The in-place sensor detects whether an object has reached a predetermined position and realizes the opening and closing of the contact by utilizing the effect of a magnetic field. Specifically, the in-place sensor usually consists of three parts: a magnetic head, a coil, and a core rod. When the object reaches the preset position, the magnetic field of the magnetic head will affect the coil inside the sensor, thereby generating an electromagnetic induction signal, magnetizing the core rod, causing its magnetism to change. This change in magnetism will drive the movement of the contact to achieve the functions of conduction and power off. The in-place sensor is used to detect the in-place status of the processing stand 3. The flipping and unloading component 5 is used to assist in flipping the soft-packaged furniture on the processing stand 3. At the same time, the flipping and unloading component 5 is used to collect the soft-packaged furniture on the processing stand 3 and transmit it along the second Fulai wheel line 4 to the starting point near the first Fulai wheel line 1. A plurality of groups of auxiliary material racks 8 are arranged on the inner side of the first Fulai wheel line 1, and at least one work station is arranged on both sides of each group of auxiliary material racks 8. The processing stand 3 includes a driving part 32 slidingly arranged on the first Fulai wheel line 1 at the bottom, a base 31 arranged on the side of the driving part 32 away from the first Fulai wheel line 1, a cylinder 33 arranged on one side of the base 31, a lifting frame 34 driven by the cylinder 33, and a lifting frame 34 arranged on the lifting frame 34 away from the base 31. A lifting platform 35 on one side, a load-bearing platform 38 arranged on the side of the lifting platform 35 away from the lifting frame 34, a rotating platform 39 movably arranged on the side of the load-bearing platform 38 away from the lifting platform 35, and a control component embedded in the lifting platform 35, through the rotating platform 39 to rotate the soft-packaged furniture carried on the top, the control component includes an infrared sensor 36 embedded in the middle of the lifting platform 35, and an adjustment platform 37 embedded on one side of the lifting platform 35, the infrared sensor 36 and the driving unit 32 are both electrically connected to the in-place sensor, the adjustment platform 37 is electrically connected to the cylinder 33, the inspection platform 7 is composed of a second lifting frame adapted to the lifting frame 34, a second lifting platform arranged on the top of the second lifting frame, and a second rotating platform at least partially embedded in the second lifting platform, the second lifting frame is fixedly connected to the ground on the side away from the second lifting platform, in some optional embodiments, a driving structure identical to the driving unit 32 can be set on the side of the second lifting frame principle and the second lifting platform, it can be understood that the functions and structures realized by the inspection platform 7 can be directly implemented using the processing stand 3.

[0040] In the specific implementation, the staff can overlap the corresponding number of processing stands 3 on the first Fulai wheel line 1 in sequence according to the workstation layout on the current production line. It can be understood that the overlap between the movable wheel set at the bottom of the processing stand 3 and the first Fulai wheel line 1 can refer to the overlap design of the wheel-rail in the existing railway track. This design greatly satisfies the adaptive adjustment of the processing stand 3 on the first Fulai wheel line 1. In this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, there are fourteen groups of processing stands on the first Fulai wheel line 1, and they are arranged opposite to each other in pairs to make full use of the space. Further, it can be understood that the first Fulai wheel line 1 is equally divided into fifteen sections, and fourteen adjacent workstation areas are set between the fifteen sections, and in-position sensors are set in the workstation areas to limit the processing stand 3 so that it can stop at each workstation. The specific implementation of the processing stand 3 is to wake up the driving part 32 at the bottom of the processing stand 3. In some optional embodiments, the driving part 32 can be driven by an internally arranged motor that connects the driving wheels at both ends through chains, so as to drive the processing stand 3 as a whole to achieve the purpose of sliding transmission on the first Fulai wheel line 1. When the processing stand 3 is in the sliding transmission process, the in-position sensor located at the workstation can obtain the in-position information feedback of the processing stand 3 in real time, and after recognizing that the processing stand 3 enters the scanning area, the in-position sensor located at the positioning area is woken up. The mechanical stop arm on the bracket 2 pops up at the end of the workstation, and the corresponding processing stand 3 pops up at the sliding path on the first Furley wheel line 1 to limit the processing stand 3 to the designated workstation. In addition, in some optional embodiments, the drive unit 32 can also be set to a preset driving path, wherein the preset driving path can be a reference to the distance between two adjacent workstations. When sliding from the previous workstation to the next workstation, the drive unit 32 stops driving. After the processing personnel at the current workstation completes the processing, the control console 37 set on the processing stand 3 is used to wake up the drive unit 32 and make it go to the next workstation. When the processing stand 3 carries the soft-packaged furniture to the designated processing station, the staff can control the processing stand 3 through the control console 37. In some optional embodiments, the control console 37 can be set at any position on the processing stand 3 that is convenient for the staff to operate. In addition, the control console 37 can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit; microcontroller unit) chip, to control the processing stand 3 through the MCU chip, wherein the processing stand 3 is electrically connected to the control table 37, and the electrical connection includes wired connection and wireless connection, and the wireless connection method includes but is not limited to Bluetooth connection, WiFi, IF radio frequency, zigbee, and the wired connection method includes but is not limited to a USB line connecting the processing stand 3 and the control table 37. The staff can wake up the cylinder 33 through the control table 37 according to their own height, so that it pushes the lifting frame 34 located in the base 31 to retract, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the vertical angle of the lifting frame 34 to drive it to implement height adjustment, and the lifting frame 34 drives the lifting platform 35, the carrying platform 38 and the rotating platform 39 on the top for carrying the soft-package furniture to complete the lifting operation. In addition, during the processing of the soft-package furniture by the staff, in order to improve the operability, the rotating platform 39 can also be driven by the control table 37 to achieve the angle adjustment of the soft-package furniture carried on the top, so as to avoid the trouble caused by the staff manually carrying and adjusting the angle of the soft-package furniture.

[0041] Furthermore, the processing sequence of the processing stand 3 on the first Furley wheel line 1 is adjusted based on the flip unloading component 5. Specifically, considering the personnel mobility of the workstations on the production line, if there is a lack of personnel at the corresponding workstation during the operation of the production line, the infrared sensor 36 provided on the processing stand 3 can be used. After the processing stand 3 moves to the designated workstation, the infrared sensor 36 can scan the environment of the current workstation area and determine whether there are staff in the current workstation area. If so, the processing flow of the workstation is executed normally. If the staff at the current workstation is not identified, the flip unloading component 5 electrically connected to the infrared sensor 36 is awakened and goes along the trajectory of the second Furley wheel line 4 to the workstation where the staff is not currently identified. In some optional implementations In the example, an in-place sensor adapted to the processing bench 3 can also be provided on the flip unloading component 5. It can be understood that when the processing bench 3 recognizes that there is no staff at the current workstation, it sends a request offline signal, and the request offline signal includes the coordinate information of the current processing bench 3 on the first Forley wheel line 1. Thereafter, the flip unloading component 5 can go to the specified position along the second Forley wheel line 4 according to the sent coordinate information, and identify the matching position with the processing bench 3 through the in-place sensor. Then, when the flip unloading component 5 moves to the side of the current processing bench 3 away from the workstation, the second robotic arm located on the flip unloading component 5 extends out and inserts into the bottom of the lifting platform 35, and then performs lifting or lowering adjustment along the rectangular frame trajectory. When lifting, it can drive the processing bench 3 and the soft arm on its top The soft-packaged furniture is separated from the first Fulai wheel line 1, and then the raised processing stand 3 driven by the flip unloading component 5 moves along the trajectory of the second Fulai wheel line 4 to the starting point close to the inspection assembly side. After waiting for a specified time at the starting point, the processing stand 3 is returned to the first Fulai wheel line 1 along the starting point to carry out the soft-packaged furniture processing flow operation. In addition, in some optional embodiments, the staff can also issue a return application by themselves according to their own work efficiency through the second control console electrically connected to the flip unloading component 5 at the workstation, so that the flip unloading component 5 drives the processing stand 3 to move to the designated workstation on the first Fulai wheel line 1 to perform the return operation. This operation method can effectively avoid the uneven deployment of temporary personnel on the production line or the lack of coordination between different workstations. When there is a processing time difference, adaptive process adjustment is performed. Finally, after the processing stand 3 completes the processing process of the first Fulai wheel line 1, it can be uniformly arranged at the inspection assembly to wait for inspection and review. At the same time, the staff can also successively add other processing stands 3 except the fourteen groups in the standard state to the first Fulai wheel line 1 to perform streamlined processing operations, effectively avoiding line stop waiting and greatly improving production efficiency. Afterwards, for the inspection and review operation of the inspection assembly, the soft-packaged furniture on the processing stand 3 close to its side can be removed by the robotic arm 6 and transferred to the inspection table 7. The staff can control the lifting and rotation adjustment of the soft-packaged furniture through the second lifting platform and the second rotating platform set on the inspection table 7, so as to facilitate the inspection of the soft-packaged furniture finally produced.

[0042] In summary, the soft-package production line in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention obtains in real time whether there is a staff member at the current workstation after the processing stand 3 arrives at the designated workstation. If not, the flip unloading component 5 is turned on and goes along the second Fulai wheel line 4 to the corresponding processing stand 3, and the current processing stand 3 is connected to the soft-package furniture and separated from the first Fulai wheel line 1 to implement the offline operation, and the lifted processing stand 3 is driven by the flip unloading component 5 to move along the trajectory of the second Fulai wheel line 4 to the starting point close to the inspection assembly side. After waiting for a specified time at the starting point, the processing stand 3 is returned to the first Fulai wheel line 1 along the starting point to carry out the soft-package furniture processing process operation, and the workers The operator can also control the flipping and unloading component 5 to drive the processing stand 3 to move to the designated workstation on the first Furley wheel line 1 to perform the collection operation according to his own work efficiency. Finally, through the set inspection assembly, the robot arm 6 can perform offline operation on the soft-package furniture on the processing stand 3 at the starting point of the first Furley wheel line 1 and transfer it to the inspection table 7, and the staff will complete the final inspection. The above unloading operation of the processing stand 3 and the subsequent adaptive control of the processing stand 3 together with the online operation of the soft-package furniture can effectively avoid line stoppage and waiting, greatly improve production efficiency, and solve the problem of poor continuity of the existing production line affecting the furniture production efficiency.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] See also Figure 3 , which shows the second state of the soft package production line in the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment lies in that, according to the diversified design of the Fulai wheel line itself and based on the site restriction requirements of the production line, such as reducing the floor area of ​​the production line itself, the first Fulai wheel line 1 or the second Fulai wheel line 4 can be arranged in a straight line, and the processing stand 3 can be arranged in a production line process from left to right or from right to left based on the working path of the above-mentioned first Fulai wheel line 1 or the second Fulai wheel line 4. This method can ensure that the soft package production line of the present invention can be connected end to end with other production lines to improve the fluidity between other production lines and the production line of the present invention, and further improve the production efficiency between production lines.

[0046] Embodiment 3

[0047] See also Figure 4 , shown is a control method for a soft package production line in a third embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a guide exhaust area measuring device. The method shown specifically includes steps S01 to S06.

[0048] Step S01, obtaining process information of the soft-package furniture to be processed, and transmitting the soft-package furniture to be processed through a processing stand according to the process information.

[0049] Step S02, determine the distance between two adjacent positioning brackets as the workstation length according to the preset interval, and extend the determined workstation length along the inner side of the first Furley wheel line by a preset distance to obtain the workstation area, and determine whether the processing table enters the workstation area. If so, execute step S03.

[0050] Step S03: a limiting component pops up in the current workstation area to limit the processing platform within the current workstation area, and obtains processing flow information and position information corresponding to the current workstation area.

[0051] Step S04, determine whether there are matching processing personnel in the current workstation area, if so, execute step S05, if not, execute step S06.

[0052] Step S05, processing the soft-packaged furniture according to the process information of the soft-packaged furniture to be processed.

[0053] Step S06, wake up the flipping and unloading component according to the position information and move it to the current workstation area, implement offline transfer of the processing stand, and after the flipping and unloading component transfers the processing stand to the starting point of the production line, it will be restored to the designated workstation area matched with the processing personnel according to the processing flow information of the current workstation area to execute the soft package home furnishing process.

[0054] In summary, the control method of the soft-package production line in the above embodiment is based on the processing bench. After it arrives at the designated workstation, it is obtained in real time whether there is a staff member at the current workstation. If not, the flip unloading component is controlled to start and go along the second Fulai wheel line to the corresponding processing bench, and the current processing bench is connected to the soft-package furniture and separated from the first Fulai wheel line to implement the offline operation. The flip unloading component drives the lifted processing bench to move along the second Fulai wheel line trajectory to the starting point close to the inspection assembly side. After waiting for a specified time at the starting point, the processing bench is returned to the first Fulai wheel line along the starting point. Through the offline unloading operation of the processing bench and the subsequent adaptive control of the processing bench together with the online operation of the soft-package furniture, the line stop waiting is effectively avoided, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
