[0063] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0064] In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally disposed component. When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be a centrally disposed component.

[0065] In addition, terms such as "long", "short", "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have this specific direction or operate with a specific direction structure, and should not be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0066] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by specific implementation methods.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic material receiving device for solving the time-consuming and labor-intensive problems caused by manual frame changing and manual material receiving. The material receiving device mainly comprises: a material frame transferring mechanism 1, a material feeding conveying mechanism 2 and a transfer mechanism 3, wherein the material frame transferring mechanism 1 is mainly used to drive the material frame to transfer along a linear track. The material frame can be an empty material frame or a material frame fully loaded with clothes, which is referred to as a fully loaded material frame herein.

[0068] Among them, combined Figure 2 To facilitate the explanation of the transfer path of the material frame, as shown in the figure, a waiting area 4, a material receiving area 5 and a material unloading area 6 are arranged on the material frame transfer mechanism 1, wherein the waiting area 4 is used for placing an empty material frame, the material receiving area 5 is used for performing the material receiving action, and the material unloading area 6 is used for placing a fully loaded material frame. It can be understood that the main function of the material frame transfer mechanism 1 is to drive the material frame to pass through the waiting area 4, the material receiving area 5 and the material unloading area 6 in sequence, and in this process, clothes are loaded into the material frame to change the material frame from an empty material frame to a fully loaded material frame.

[0069] Furthermore, the loading conveyor mechanism 2 is arranged adjacent to the material receiving area 5. The loading conveyor mechanism 2 is used to send the clothes from the previous packaging station and transfer the clothes to a position close to the material receiving area 5. This can shorten the running distance of the clothes during the material receiving process, which is beneficial to improving the operating efficiency. Optionally, in this embodiment, the loading conveyor mechanism 2 adopts a belt assembly line.

[0070] In addition, look back Figure 1 The transfer mechanism 3 is arranged between the material frame transfer mechanism 1 and the feeding conveying mechanism 2, and in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 3 is also arranged directly above the material frame transfer mechanism 1, so that the structure can be more compact and the transfer efficiency can be further optimized and improved. Here, the transfer mechanism 3 is mainly used to transfer the clothes from the feeding conveying mechanism 2 to the material frame located in the material receiving area 5 to realize the stacking and framing function.

[0071] At this point, the above scheme adopts the material frame transfer mechanism 1 to replace the manual frame changing operation steps, and adopts the transfer mechanism 3 to replace the manual action of putting clothes into the material frame, so that the labor cost is reduced; in addition, by arranging the material frame transfer mechanism 1, the feeding conveying mechanism 2 and the transfer mechanism 3 adjacently and overlapping each other up and down, the overall structure size of the device can be effectively shortened, making the structure more compact, and the path size of the clothes when transferred to the material frame can be shortened, making the material collection action faster and more efficient.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 In order to realize efficient transfer of the material frame, the material frame transfer mechanism 1 includes a first transport line 11, a first push frame assembly 13, a second transport line 12 and a second push frame assembly 14. Among them, the number of first transport lines 11 is set to two groups, and the two groups of first transport lines 11 are arranged side by side. The first transport lines 11 are used to drive the material frame to translate along the horizontal direction. For the convenience of description, this direction is defined as the X-axis direction; in addition, the specific operations of the two groups of first transport lines 11 are different, wherein the waiting area 4 and the unloading area 6 are respectively arranged on the two groups of first transport lines 11, that is, the first transport line 11 equipped with the waiting area 4 is used to translate the empty material frame, and the first transport line 11 equipped with the unloading area 6 is used to translate the fully loaded material frame.

[0073] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to realize the transfer of the material frame in the X-axis direction, the first transport line 11 includes a bracket 111, a roller 112 and a driving element 113, wherein the bracket 111 is placed on the ground to provide an installation position for the roller 112 and the driving element 113; the number of rollers 112 is set to be multiple, and the multiple rollers 112 are arranged at intervals from one side end to the other side end of the bracket 111. Preferably, the rollers 112 are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction, and the rollers 112 are rotatably installed on the bracket 111 through a bearing seat.

[0074] Based on the above structural setting, the material frame can be placed on the roller 112. At this time, rolling friction is formed between the material frame and the roller 112, which is conducive to the rapid movement of the fully loaded material frame, and the transfer action of the material frame is more efficient and quick; it should be noted that the specific number of rollers 112 can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be 10, 20 or 80, etc., which depends on the required carrying length of the first transport line 11, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0075] At the same time, the driving element 113 is arranged on the bracket 111 and is connected to the roller 112. The driving element 113 is used to drive the multiple rollers 112 to rotate toward the same side, so as to drive the rollers 112 to drive the material frame to move horizontally. Preferably, the driving element 113 can select a power structure composed of components such as a motor, a first sprocket, a second sprocket and a chain. When setting it specifically, the motor is first fixedly installed on the bracket 111, and then the first sprockets whose number is the same as the number of rollers 112 are selected, and the first sprockets are installed on the rollers 112 in a one-to-one correspondence, and then the second sprocket is installed on the output shaft of the motor, and the chain is wrapped and installed on the second sprocket and the first sprockets.

[0076] Based on the above configuration, by starting the first motor, under the transmission action of the chain, the first sprocket and the second link, several rollers 112 are started at the same time to drive the material frame to be transferred along the X-axis direction on the first transport line 11. In other embodiments, a belt and pulley structure can also be used to replace the transmission structure composed of the first sprocket, the second sprocket and the chain in the present application. Relevant structures that can realize transmission can be tried and should be included in the scope of interpretation of the present application.

[0077] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the transfer directions output by the two first transport lines 11 are opposite. The purpose is that the two groups of first transport lines 11 cooperate with the second transport line 12 to form a one-way transport path, so that the transfer is more efficient.

[0078] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the second transport line 12 is arranged at a position close to one end of the two groups of first transport lines 11, and the second transport line 12 is respectively connected to the two groups of first transport lines 11; the material receiving area 5 is located on the second transport line 12, and the second transport line 12 first receives the empty material frame from one of the groups of first transport lines 11, and then the second transport line 12 transfers the empty material frame to the material receiving area 5 for material receiving, and finally transfers the fully loaded material frame to the other first transport line 11.

[0079] Based on this, in order to transfer the empty material frame to the second transport line 12 , a first frame pushing assembly 13 is provided on the first transport line 11 carrying the empty material frame, and the first frame pushing assembly 13 is used to push the empty material frame to the second transport line 12 .

[0080] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The first push frame assembly 13 includes a first push frame linear module 131, a first push frame cylinder 132 and a first push frame member 133. In order to improve the overall compactness of the structure, a first avoidance opening 7 is provided at the position of the roller 112 of the first transport line 11. At this time, the roller 112 in this area can be replaced with a shorter roller 112 structure, and the shorter roller 112 is arranged in two parallel rows, so that the first avoidance opening 7 can be formed between the two rows of rollers 112. The first push frame assembly 13 is accommodated in the first avoidance opening 7, which can improve the compactness of the structure and reduce interference between structures.

[0081] During setting, first, the first push frame linear module 131 is fixedly installed on the bracket 111. In one embodiment, the first push frame linear module 131 can adopt a linear module with a screw rod and a slide structure. In another embodiment, a linear module structure that outputs reciprocating motion by a cylinder structure can also be adopted. There is no restriction on the specific structural form of the first push frame linear module 131. Any structure that can output linear reciprocating motion can be tried. In this embodiment, a linear module with a screw rod and a slide structure is used as an example. During setting, the first push frame linear module 131 is set parallel to the X-axis direction.

[0082] At the same time, the first frame pushing cylinder 132 is installed on the first frame pushing linear module 131 along the vertical direction. At this time, the first frame pushing linear module 131 can drive the first frame pushing cylinder 132 to move along the material frame transfer direction, which can also be understood as the first frame pushing linear module 131 can drive the first frame pushing cylinder 132 to move along the X-axis direction; furthermore, the first frame pushing cylinder 132 is used to drive the first frame pushing component 133 to move up and down. In the specific setting, the telescopic rod of the first frame pushing cylinder 132 is vertically arranged upward, and the first frame pushing component 133 is fixedly installed at the telescopic rod of the first frame pushing cylinder 132. At this time, the first frame pushing component 133 can drive the first frame pushing component 133 to move up and down.

[0083] Optionally, the first push frame member 133 may be a rod-shaped, plate-shaped or block-shaped structure, and the specific structural form of the first push frame member 133 is not limited herein. In this embodiment, the first push frame will use a relatively light and thin plate-shaped structure as an example, which can make the structure more compact and can better meet the actual use requirements.

[0084] Based on the above structure, when the telescopic rod of the first frame pushing cylinder 132 retracts, the first frame pushing member 133 drops to a low position. At this time, the first frame pushing linear module 131, the first frame pushing cylinder 132 and the first frame pushing member 133 are all located below the roller 112, so that the material frame can be avoided. At this time, the material frame can pass over the first frame pushing linear module 131, the first frame pushing cylinder 132 and the first frame pushing component 133 under the drive of the roller 112 until the material frame is close to the second transport line 12. At this time, the first frame pushing cylinder 132 can be started to extend the telescopic rod of the first frame pushing cylinder 132, so that the first frame pushing component 133 is opposite to one side of the material frame. Then, the first frame pushing linear module 131 is started, and the first frame pushing linear module 131 drives the first frame pushing component 133 to abut and cooperate with one side of the material frame through the first frame pushing cylinder 132. As the displacement action proceeds, the first frame pushing component 133 can push the material frame to the second transport line 12, thereby realizing the transfer of the empty material frame between the first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12.

[0085] When the empty material frame is transferred to the second transport line 12, the empty material frame will first be placed at a position adjacent to the material receiving area 5 on the second transport line 12. At this time, the empty material frame is equivalent to reaching a preparation position, which is conducive to the quick and orderly frame replacement operation between the empty material frame and the fully loaded material frame.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 Specifically, to achieve the above switching action, the second transport line 12 includes a base 121, a lifting bracket 122 and a translation module 123, wherein the base 121 is placed on the ground to provide an installation position for the lifting bracket 122 and the translation module 123. The translation module 123 adopts the linear module structure as described above, and its purpose is also to output reciprocating linear motion. The specific structure is not described here; but the difference in the specific setting of the translation module 123 is that the reciprocating displacement direction output by the translation module 123 is perpendicular to the X-axis on the horizontal plane. For the convenience of description, the displacement direction output by the translation module 123 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the vertical lifting direction is defined as the Z-axis direction. The X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions constitute a spatial rectangular coordinate system.

[0087] Based on the above settings, the lifting bracket 122 is installed on the translation module 123. The lifting bracket 122 mainly includes a bracket part 1221 and a lifting drive part 1222. The bracket part 1221 is slidably installed on the slide table of the translation module 123 by adding guide columns and guide sleeves. At this time, the bracket part 1221 can move up and down.

[0088] In addition, the lifting drive unit 1222 adopts a cylinder structure, and the lifting drive unit 1222 is fixedly installed on the slide of the translation module 123, and its telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bracket unit 1221. Under the action of the lifting drive unit 1222, the bracket unit 1221 can move up and down. Furthermore, a second avoidance opening 8 for the bracket unit 1221 to pass through is provided on the base 121, and one end of the second avoidance opening 8 extends to the material receiving area 5. The function of the second avoidance opening 8 is similar to that of the first avoidance opening 7, which is also to enable the material frame to move to the top of the lifting bracket 122 to achieve the avoidance effect. In addition, the second avoidance opening 8 is also a degree of freedom for the lifting bracket 122 to move back and forth between the inside and outside of the material receiving area 5.

[0089] Based on the above arrangement, when the material frame moves to the top of the lifting bracket 122, the lifting drive unit 1222 is started, and the bracket unit 1221 lifts the material frame. At this time, the translation module 123 is started, and the translation module 123 drives the material frame to be transferred to the material receiving area 5, thereby realizing the frame changing action, and the process is convenient and efficient.

[0090] Optionally, in order to stably lift the material frame, supporting arms 1223 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the lifting bracket 122, and the top of the supporting arm 1223 is provided with a positioning inclined surface 1224 for abutting against the material frame. The positioning inclined surfaces 1224 of the two supporting arms 1223 are arranged opposite to each other to form an upwardly flared cross-sectional profile, so that the two sides of the material frame can be positioned and supported, making the material frame less likely to shake.

[0091] Further, look back Figure 3 or Figure 4 In order to ensure that the material frame can accurately stay above the lifting bracket 122 when it is transferred from the first transport line 11 to the second transport line 12, a correction track 15 is further provided on the first transport line 11. There are at least two correction tracks 15. The two correction tracks 15 are parallel and oppositely arranged, and are respectively fixed on the opposite sides of the first transport line 11. In this embodiment, the correction track 15 is fixedly installed on the bracket 111; in addition, in order to ensure its correction effect, the spacing between the two correction tracks 15 can be adapted to the width of the material frame, and chamfers are provided at the ends of the correction tracks 15. The material frame is guided between the correction tracks 15 through the chamfers, so that an accurate correction effect can be achieved, and the material frame will not have excessive deviation when it is transferred between the first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12.

[0092] It is understandable that the specific number of the deviation correction tracks 15 can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the number of deviation correction tracks 15 in the same group of first transport lines 11 is four, and two groups that cooperate with each other are formed, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0093] Continue to refer to Figure 5After the clothes are loaded into the material frame, the fully loaded material frame is then pushed from the material receiving area 5 to the first transport line 11 for carrying the fully loaded material frame by the second push frame assembly 14. Specifically, the second push frame assembly is arranged on the second transport line 12, and the second push frame assembly 14 includes a second push frame linear module 141 and a second push frame member 142.

[0094] Among them, the second push frame linear module 141 is fixedly installed on the base 121, and the second push frame linear module 141 is arranged along the X-axis direction. It adopts a linear module structure mainly with a cylinder structure, and the specific structure is not repeated here; the second push frame component 142 adopts a rod-shaped structure in this embodiment, and the second push frame component 142 is arranged parallel to the Y-axis direction, fixedly installed on the slide of the second push frame linear module 141, and one end extends to the interior of the material receiving area 5.

[0095] Based on the above settings, starting the second push frame linear module 141 can drive the second push frame component 142 to abut and cooperate with one side of the material frame, thereby driving the second push frame component 142 to move along the material frame transfer direction, thereby pushing the fully loaded material frame from the second transport line 12 to the other first transport line 11, and the fully loaded material frame is transported away by the other first transport line 11.

[0096] Reference Figure 7 In order to achieve efficient material collection, the transfer mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a three-dimensional displacement module 32 and a grabbing module 33. The mounting frame 31 is placed on the ground, and a long leg is provided on the mounting frame 31, so that the mounting frame 31 can be overlapped and arranged above the base 121.

[0097] In addition, a three-dimensional displacement module 32 is arranged on the mounting frame 31 for outputting spatial three-dimensional motion. Specifically, the displacement module includes a first horizontal linear module 321, a second horizontal linear module 322 and a lifting linear module 323, wherein the first horizontal linear module 321, the second horizontal linear module 322 and the lifting linear module 323 can adopt a linear module with a screw motor structure as the main body, or a linear module with a cylinder structure as the main body or a linear module with a belt structure as the main body, and the specific structure of the linear module is not described here; in this embodiment, the first horizontal linear module 321 and the second horizontal linear module 322 adopt a linear module with a screw motor structure; and the lifting linear module 323 adopts a linear module with a cylinder structure.

[0098] During the specific installation, first, the first horizontal linear module 321 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 31, and the first horizontal linear module 321 is set parallel to the X-axis direction. At this time, the first horizontal linear module 321 can output displacement in the X-axis direction; then, the second horizontal linear module 322 is installed on the first horizontal linear module 321, and the second horizontal linear module 322 is parallel to the Y-axis, and is used to output displacement in the Y-axis direction; in addition, the lifting linear module 323 is installed on the second horizontal linear module 322, and is used to output displacement in the Z-axis direction, and the grabbing module 33 is installed on the lifting linear module 323.

[0099] Based on the above arrangement, under the joint drive of the first horizontal linear module 321, the second horizontal linear module 322 and the lifting linear module 323, the grabbing module 33 can be displaced and adjusted in the three-dimensional space, so that the clothes can be stacked in sequence along the length or width direction of the material frame, which is beneficial to improve the compactness of the clothes when stacking and rationally utilize the space.

[0100] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the grabbing module 33 is a vacuum adsorption module, which mainly includes components such as a suction cup, a vacuum pipe and a vacuum generator, wherein the vacuum suction cup is fixedly mounted on the lifting linear module 323, and the two ends of the vacuum pipe are respectively connected to the vacuum generator and the suction cup. Driven by the vacuum generator, a negative pressure area can be formed at the suction cup, thereby realizing a vacuum grabbing action, and the process is quick and the grabbing is firm.

[0101] Optionally, in other embodiments, pneumatic grippers may be used to grab clothes, which is not specifically limited here.

[0102] In addition, in order to improve the carrying efficiency and automation of the entire material receiving device, a PLC controller can also be used for motion control. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the material frame transfer mechanism 1, the material feeding conveying mechanism 2 and the transfer mechanism 3 respectively.

[0103] In addition, an independent QR code can be attached to the material frame, a barcode scanner can be installed on the material frame transfer mechanism 1, and position sensors can be installed in the loading area and the unloading area 6 respectively, and the above components can be connected to the MES system and the AGV system. Usually, the signal connection between the MES system and the AGV system can be established by wired or wireless means.

[0104] Based on the above settings, the automation implementation process is as follows:

[0105] ① The first transport line 11 interacts with the MES system through the sensor signal installed thereon, and calls the AGV vehicle to transport the empty material frame to the first transport line 11.

[0106] ② Then the PLC controller sends a control signal, and the material frame transfer mechanism 1 transfers the empty material frame to the material receiving area 5. Then the PLC controller continues to send a control signal, so that the transfer mechanism 3 places the clothes in the material frame according to the preset stacking order, and the number of stacked clothes is counted by the PLC controller.

[0107] ③ The number of clothes placed in a single material frame is set in advance in the PLC controller. If the number of clothes placed in the material frame reaches the preset value, another control signal is issued to make the material frame transfer mechanism 1 replace the material frame until the fully loaded material frame is moved to the unloading area 6;

[0108] ④At this time, the material frame located in the unloading area 6 touches the position sensor, and the position sensor interacts with the MES system. The MES system calls the AGV car to transport the fully loaded material frame away.

[0109] Optional, combined Figure 3 In order to facilitate the AGV to transfer the material frame, a third avoidance opening 9 is opened on the side of the first transport line 11 away from the second transport line 12. The third avoidance opening 9 is convenient for a forklift to pick up the material frame, which is more convenient to use. At the same time, it needs to be explained that in the above operation process, the barcode scanner can scan the material frame and enter it into the MES system to record the logistics information of the material frame.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
