[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a material transfer and conveying device provided in one embodiment of the invention, the material transfer and conveying device comprises a lifting mechanism 100 disposed on a workbench 500, a guide mechanism 200 disposed on an adjacent workbench 500, and a transport mechanism 300 moving on the guide mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 100, wherein:

[0031] In order to realize the cargo lifting function, a lifting mechanism 100 is provided on the workbench 500. The lifting mechanism 100 includes lifting components 110 arranged on both sides of the workbench 500, and a lifting bracket 120 arranged on the lifting components 110. The lifting bracket 120 can realize vertical movement under the drive of the lifting components 110, thereby driving the transportation mechanism 300 arranged on the lifting bracket 120 to move in the vertical direction.

[0032] In order to meet the function of moving the transportation mechanism 300 on the lifting bracket 120, the lifting bracket 120 includes a plurality of first edge frames 121 arranged along the horizontal moving direction of the transportation mechanism 300, and a plurality of second edge frames 122 arranged perpendicular to the first edge frames 121. The plurality of first edge frames 121 and the plurality of second edge frames 122 form a grid-like lifting bracket 120, which is arranged on the end surface of the workbench 500 to support the transportation mechanism 300.

[0033] In order to drive the lifting bracket 120 to move in the vertical direction, the lifting assembly 110 disposed on both sides of the workbench 500 is connected to the first edge frame 121 disposed on both sides of the edge of the lifting bracket 120. The lifting assembly 110 includes a base plate 111 connected to the ground, a first lifting motor 112 disposed on the base plate 111, and a first connecting member 113 and a second connecting member 114 connecting the base plate 111 and the first edge frame 121. It is worth noting that a group of first connecting members 113 and second connecting members 114 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first lifting motor 112. One end of the first connecting member 113 is connected to the first edge frame 121 on both sides of the edge of the lifting bracket 120, and the other end is inserted into the second connecting member 114, and the second connecting member 114 is a square box bracket, one end of which is fixed to the base plate 111 by a fastener. Since the two ends of the first lifting motor 112 are respectively connected to the first edge frames 121 on both sides of the edge of the substrate 111 and the lifting bracket 120, when the first lifting motor 112 drives the lifting bracket 120 to move upward, it also drives the first connecting member 113 to move upward. When it rises to a preset height, one end of the first connecting member 113 away from the first edge frame 121 is clamped on the top of the second connecting member 114 away from the substrate 111, and then the lifting bracket 120 reaches the highest point.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 300 includes a handle 310 and a plurality of load-bearing brackets 320 connected to the handle 310 . The load-bearing brackets 320 are connected to the handle 310 along the length direction of the first edge frame 121 , and the load-bearing brackets 320 correspond one-to-one to the first edge frame 121 , so that the transport mechanism 300 can move on the lifting bracket 120 .

[0035] Furthermore, in order to realize the movement of the transport mechanism 300 along a fixed direction on the workbench 500, a guide mechanism 200 is further provided between adjacent workbenches 500, and the guide mechanism 200 is overlapped on the workbenches 500 on both sides. The guide mechanism 200 includes a guide bracket 210, and a plurality of guide assemblies 220 provided on both sides of the guide bracket 210, and the guide assemblies 220 on the guide bracket 210 are provided in pairs.

[0036] It is worth emphasizing that a plurality of guide assemblies 220 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the first edge frame 121 to form a first channel 123. At the same time, the guide assemblies 220 arranged in pairs on the guide bracket 210 form a second channel 224. The first channel 123 and the second channel 224 correspond one to one, and each load-bearing bracket 320 moves along the corresponding first channel 123 and second channel 224 to realize the movement between adjacent workbenches 500.

[0037] The reason why the guide assembly 220 realizes the guide function is that the guide assembly 220 includes a mounting bracket 221, first rollers 222 horizontally and symmetrically arranged at both ends of the mounting bracket 221, and a second roller 223 arranged vertically on one side of the mounting bracket 221. The second roller 223 is aligned with the gap between the two first rollers 222, and the height is lower than the first roller 222. It is worth emphasizing that the gap between the two first rollers 222 is equal to the width of the load-bearing bracket 320, so that the two sides of the load-bearing bracket 320 can roll with the first roller 222, and the bottom can roll with the second roller 223, which reduces the friction of the transportation mechanism 300 rolling on the guide bracket 210 and the lifting bracket 120, better pushes the transportation mechanism 300, and reduces the labor intensity. At the same time, the setting of several guide assemblies 220 also fixes the moving direction of the transportation mechanism 300, avoiding the derailment of the transportation mechanism 300.

[0038] Furthermore, a second lifting motor 230 is provided on the guide assembly 220 on one side of the guide bracket 210. The second lifting motor 230 is connected to the mounting bracket 221. The guide assembly 220 on this side is driven by the second motor to move up and down to adjust the docking flatness of the first channel 123 and the second channel 224.

[0039] In addition, a stopping mechanism 400 is provided between the guide bracket 210 and the lifting bracket 120. The stopping structure includes a mounting seat 410 and a third lifting motor 420 arranged on the mounting seat 410. At the same time, a guide component 220 is also provided at the end of the third lifting motor 420 away from the mounting seat 410 to serve as a transition between the first channel 123 and the second channel 224. In addition, the third lifting motor 420 can also play a stopping role. The third lifting motor 420 can also control the top guide component 220 to lift upward to block the transportation mechanism 300.

[0040] Furthermore, whether it is the guide assembly 220 on the guide bracket 210, the guide assembly 220 on the stop mechanism 400, or the guide assembly 220 on the first prism 121, the corresponding guide assemblies 220 are neatly arranged so that the first channel 123 and the second channel 224 are docked, and the stop mechanism 400 and the guide structure both play a transition role so that the transport mechanism 300 can be smoothly pushed from one workbench 500 to another workbench 500. Due to the existence of the guide assembly 220, the transport mechanism 300 in this embodiment can be moved and transported by manpower to realize the transmission of materials and products between workstations; or it can be automatically transported through PLC logic + power device, with a simple and flexible structure and smooth transportation.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that when the transport mechanism 300 is completely moved onto the lifting bracket 120, in order to prevent the transport mechanism 300 from moving during the lifting process, abutment members and locking assemblies may be respectively provided at both ends of the first edge frame 121 on which the guide assembly 220 is provided, so as to fix the transport mechanism 300 on the lifting bracket 120 and improve the stability of the transport mechanism 300 during the lifting process.

[0042] In summary, a material transfer and conveying device proposed in the present invention realizes the function of transporting products on adjacent workstations by utilizing the first channel on the lifting bracket and the second channel on the guide bracket of the transport mechanism, and the lifting bracket is arranged on the workbench, and the guide bracket is arranged between adjacent workbenches, which occupies a small area and saves costs compared with aerial tracks and slings. Specifically, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting assembly arranged on both sides of the workbench, and a lifting bracket arranged on the lifting assembly, and the lifting bracket is provided with a plurality of first channels along a preset direction; the guide mechanism is overlapped on the workbenches on both sides, and the guide mechanism includes a guide bracket, and a plurality of guide assemblies arranged on the guide bracket, and the guide assemblies arranged in pairs enclose the second channel, and the first channel and the second channel correspond one to one, so that when the transport mechanism is transferred between adjacent workstations, it can smoothly go from the first channel to the second channel. At the same time, a stop mechanism is also provided between the guide mechanism and the workbench, and the stop mechanism can adjust the height to control the conduction and cutoff of the first channel and the second channel.
