DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a transfer rack based on a dye tank body, including a positioning frame 1, a moving module 2, a lifting module 3, and a transfer module 4. The positioning frame 1 is arranged as a frame structure, and the overall frame structure is divided into a plurality of independent bearing units 11 by an array (the spacing between each bearing unit 11 is equal, and the relative height and length of the bearing unit 11 can be designed according to the actual needs of the factory site for customized operations in accordance with local conditions), so that each bearing unit 11 carries a uniquely designated tank body; a reserved gap is arranged at the bottom where the bearing unit 11 is located, and the side supports the bottom edge of the tank body, so that the transfer module 4 lifts the bottom of the tank body from the reserved gap in the middle. This design can save the amount of supporting steel for the bottom of the tank body, and facilitates the lifting and transfer operations of the bottom of the tank body directly using the transfer module 4.

[0023] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the mobile module 2 is used to realize the movement of the transfer module 4 in the left and right directions; it includes a mobile seat 21 arranged in the up and down directions and a guide seat 22 arranged in the left and right directions, so that the mobile seat 21 and the guide seat 22 present an "I"-shaped structure as a whole; a second transmission rack 221 is arranged in the same direction along the side position of the extension direction of the guide seat 22, and a mutually meshing gear member 211 is arranged at the side position of the mobile seat 21, so that when the gear member 211 and the second transmission rack 221 are meshed and transmitted, the mobile seat 21 connected to the gear member 211 can synchronously realize the moving operation, thereby improving the moving efficiency. A driven roller 201 is arranged at the lower position of the vertical support rod of the mobile seat 21 (the mobile seat 21 is provided with two left and right vertical support rods, and the transfer module 4 is located between the two vertical support rods as a whole), so as to reduce the sliding friction between the lower surface of the mobile seat 21 and the guide seat 22, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the mobile seat 21 as a whole along the extension direction of the guide seat 22.

[0024] The second transmission rack 221 can be arranged at both sides of the guide seat 22, or only at one side to reduce the cost and improve the coordination during transmission. The gear member 211 is provided with a positioning member 212 at the opposite surface of the guide seat 22. The positioning member 212 adopts a roller structure to fit on the other side of the guide seat 22, so that the gear member 211 and the positioning member 212 form a clamp on both sides of the extension direction of the guide seat 22. This clamping connection method can make the movable seat 21 more stable when moving along the extension direction of the guide seat 22 (similarly, the guide seat 22 and the movable seat 21 located at the upper part can adopt the same connection method).

[0025] The lifting module 3 is used to realize the movement of the transfer module 4 in the up and down directions; it includes a driving motor 31 and a transmission chain 32. The driving motor 31 is located at the top position where the moving module 2 is located, and the transmission is realized through the transmission chain 32. The transmission chain 32 drives the transfer module 4 to move in the up and down directions. This chain transmission method can realize energy transmission over a long distance in the up and down directions.

[0026] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the transfer module 4 includes a first carrying platform 41, a second carrying platform 42 and a third carrying platform 43. The first carrying platform 41 presents a groove-like structure with protrusions on both sides and a depression in the middle, and a first transmission rack 411 is arranged along the front-to-back direction in the middle of the first carrying platform 41 (at this time, multiple groups of the first transmission rack 411 can be arranged along the front-to-back direction of the first carrying platform 41), and carrying rollers 412 are arranged on both sides of the first carrying platform 41; Figure 7 As shown, the lower surface of the second bearing platform 42 is meshed with the transmission direction of the first transmission rack 411. This gear transmission has high transmission efficiency and fast response speed. The first transmission rack 411 is located in the middle position of the first bearing platform 41, which can improve the bearing capacity of the second bearing platform 42 (third bearing platform 43) located above, and avoid overall deformation caused by long-term bearing. The traditional transmission equipment adopts a clamping method. This clamping method is easy to cause the cylindrical edge to slide easily. In order to improve the stability of grasping, a visual positioning device is provided on each bearing unit 11 where the positioning frame 1 is located to improve the precision and stability of grasping. However, this addition method will increase the investment cost of the equipment, and it is also necessary to regularly calibrate the visual positioning device. However, the first transmission rack 411 of the present application can also realize the bearing of the first bearing platform 41 while transmitting (the weight of a single tank body reaches 100-200kg, which is relatively heavy. The cost investment of the servo cylinder used for direct clamping by means of a clamp is further increased).

[0027] At the same time, the carrying rollers 412 support the outer edges of both sides of the second carrying platform 42 (this lifting method can increase the overall lifting weight of the second carrying platform 42 to meet the lifting requirements of heavy tanks); the lower surface of the third carrying platform 43 is provided with a driving roller 431, and the driving roller 431 is used to drive the third carrying platform 43 back and forth on the upper surface of the second carrying platform 42. The carrying rollers 412 and the driving rollers 431 are both driven independently, and position sensors are not provided at the end positions (not specifically drawn in the figure). Therefore, when the carrying rollers 412 drive the second carrying platform 42 and the driving rollers 431 drive the third carrying platform 43, both can be automatically adapted, which improves the matching accuracy of the position during transportation and has a fast response speed, thereby simultaneously improving the transportation rate.

[0028] The second bearing platform 42 and the third bearing platform 43 can both be extended in the front-to-back direction, which can meet the displacement of a larger spacing, meet the overall position setting of the moving module 2 and the lifting module 3, and improve the lifting force while also reducing the overall spatial layout of the transfer module 4 and reducing cost expenditure. At the same time, the third bearing platform 43 extends into the bottom position of the tank where the positioning frame 1 is located and forms a lift.

[0029] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, a transfer unit 12 is provided below the position of the carrier unit 11. The transfer unit 12 includes an upper carrier frame 121 and a driving member 122 at the bottom. The driving member 122 extends outward, and the horizontal movement of the carrier frame 121 is achieved through the driving member 122, so that the transfer unit 121 can be retracted freely. After the material is used, the tank body is reset under the action of the driving member 122 and waits for the transfer module 4 to be transferred out, so as to prepare for the arrival of the next group. More than two groups of transfer units 12 can be provided, and one of them can be set as a waiting position, so that the efficient operation of the transfer module 4 can be achieved without waiting time.

[0030] The supporting frame 121 is composed of two arc-shaped supporting parts, and a hollow structure is set in the middle of the two groups of arc-shaped supporting parts (which can be used for the direct insertion operation of the transfer module 4). At the same time, the upper opening of the arc-shaped supporting surface is larger than the lower opening. This arrangement enables the supporting frame 121 to support the bottom of the tank body, and the tank body transferred by the transfer module 4 can be directly dropped into the middle position of the two groups of arc-shaped supporting parts and fixed without complete matching and alignment.

[0031] The operating system of the transfer rack based on the dye tank includes the following steps: S1. First, the tanks are numbered according to the color of the dye, and the carrying unit 11 where the positioning frame 1 is located is also numbered. Then, the carrying unit 11 is designated and uniquely matched with the tanks of the dye color, and the tanks are placed on the designated carrying unit 11. Frequently used tanks can be placed on the carrying unit 11 closer to the transfer unit 12 as needed, so as to reduce the waiting time caused by the transportation of the mobile module 2 and the lifting module 3.

[0032] S2. The program specifies the color dye that needs to be taken, and then the program moves the transfer module 4 to the position of the specified carrier unit 11 according to the selected color dye; the infrared positioning component can be used for installation and matching of the specified position to achieve precise CNC control.

[0033] S3, the first carrying platform 41, the second carrying platform 42 and the third carrying platform 43 of the transfer module 4 are pushed forward in sequence, that is, multiple carrying platforms are unfolded in sequence until the third carrying platform 43 extends to the position below the tank body where the designated carrying unit 11 is located, and then under the lifting action of the lifting module 3, the third carrying platform 43 lifts the tank body to separate it from the position of the carrying unit 11, and then the third carrying platform 43 is reset, that is, reset to the upper position where the first carrying platform 41 is located.

[0034] S4, the transfer module 4 is moved as a whole to the work station where the transfer unit 12 is located under the interaction of the moving module 2 and the lifting module 3, and the third carrying platform 43 continues to push out, and the carried tank body is synchronously pushed out to the transfer unit 12, and then the reset is completed.

[0035] S5, the tank body is pushed outward by the transfer unit 12, and the worker takes out the dye in the tank body and puts it back to the original place. Then the transfer module 4 sends the tank body with the material taken out to the designated carrying unit 11 along the original path to complete the next instruction.

[0036] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
