DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the frame unit is a rectangular frame 1 formed by a plurality of frame profiles, a lifting unit and a driving unit are arranged in the frame unit, the driving unit drives the lifting unit to move up and down in the frame unit, the lifting unit comprises a double-layer lifting frame 2, a first conveyor 3, a second conveyor 4 and a pitch-changing mechanism, the first conveyor 3 is arranged on the upper layer of the double-layer lifting frame 2, the second conveyor 4 is arranged on the lower layer of the double-layer lifting frame 2, the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 are both conveying mechanisms for horizontal conveying, which can be conventional conveyor mechanisms such as roller conveyors, chain conveyors or belt conveyors, the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 are arranged at intervals up and down on the double-layer lifting frame 2, the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 each have a power mechanism, which can complete the horizontal conveying of the load, and the pitch-changing mechanism can change the vertical spacing between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 to meet the use requirements of the double-layer conveyor line body for feeding and discharging materials with different layer spacings.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the driving unit includes a driving motor 5, a driving wheel 6, a driven wheel 7 and a driving belt 8. The driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 are respectively arranged at the lower end and the upper end of the frame 1. Specifically, the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 are arranged on the same side of the frame, and the upper and lower positions of the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 are relative. The driving belt 8 is sleeved between the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7. The driving wheel 6 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 5, thereby driving the driving belt 8 to rotate between the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7. One side surface of the driving belt 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the double-layer lifting frame 2, and can be specifically connected through a connecting block 9. The driving motor 5 rotates forward or reversely, so that the driving belt 8 drives the double-layer lifting frame 2 to move up and down in the vertical direction. It should be noted that, due to load and stability requirements, the driving wheel 6, the driven wheel 7 and the driving belt 8 can be arranged in parallel in multiple groups, which is not limited here.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the variable distance mechanism is a lifting component, and the lifting component includes a fixed plate 10 and a lifting cylinder 11. The fixed plate 10 is arranged on the lower layer of the double-layer lifting frame 2, and the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 10. The free end of the lifting cylinder 11 is vertically upward, and the free end is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second conveyor 4. When the free end of the lifting cylinder 11 is in a recovered state, the second conveyor 4 is placed above the fixed plate 10, and the vertical spacing between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 is at the maximum spacing. When the free end of the lifting cylinder 11 is in an extended state, the second conveyor 4 rises relative to the lower layer of the double-layer lifting frame 2, and the lower end of the second conveyor 4 leaves the fixed plate 10, and the vertical spacing between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 becomes smaller. The specific extension height can be determined according to the layer spacing of the double-layer conveying line body docked externally according to actual needs.

[0031] It should be noted that the jacking component can also be set to act on the first conveyor 3, and the first conveyor 3 can be lifted in the vertical direction by the jacking component, thereby changing the vertical distance between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4, and the layer distance between the upper layer and the lower layer of the double-layer lifting frame 2 must meet the minimum required docking layer height.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the lifting assembly also includes a linear bearing 12 and a guide rod 13. The length direction of the linear bearing 12 is the vertical direction. The linear bearing 12 is fixedly penetrated in the fixed plate 10. The linear bearing 12 is placed below the second conveyor 4. The upper end of the guide rod 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second conveyor 4. The other end of the guide rod 13 passes through the linear bearing 12. When the second conveyor 4 moves up and down under the drive of the lifting cylinder 11, the guide rod 13 also moves up and down in the linear bearing 12. The linear bearing 12 cooperates with the guide rod 13 to play an auxiliary guiding role for the second conveyor 4 in the vertical direction, and at the same time prevents the free end of the lifting cylinder 11 from being subjected to radial force, thereby increasing the service life of the lifting cylinder 11. The linear bearing 12 and the guide rod 13 can be multiple groups, and the specific number of groups is not limited here.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lifting assembly also includes a limit buffer assembly, which includes a guide rod connecting plate 14, an adjustment bolt 15 and a buffer 16. The guide rod connecting plate 14 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the guide rod 13. The guide rod connecting plate 14 can prevent the second conveyor 4 from being lifted upwards too far, and the guide rod connecting plate 14 is limited below the linear bearing 12. An adjustment bolt 15 is arranged on the upper surface of the guide rod connecting plate 14, and the adjustment bolt 15 is arranged just below the fixed end of the lifting cylinder. The adjustment bolt 15 can change the vertical height of its upper end relative to the plane of the guide rod connecting plate 14 by rotating itself. When the second conveyor 4 is in the maximum upward stroke, the upper end of the adjustment bolt 15 contacts the lower end of the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 11, thereby limiting the maximum upward stroke of the second conveyor 4, and further limiting the maximum spacing between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4. The buffer member 16 can be a buffer block made of elastic nylon material or a flexible buffer. The present application takes a flexible buffer as an example. When the second conveyor 4 moves upward to the maximum upward stroke under the action of the lifting cylinder 11, the top end of the flexible buffer contacts the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 11, thereby ensuring a flexible stop of the lifting process.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7As shown, the double-layer lifting frame 2 includes an upper lifting frame 201 and a lower lifting frame 202. The upper lifting frame 201 and the lower lifting frame 202 are arranged at an interval in the vertical direction. The first conveyor 3 is fixedly arranged on the upper lifting frame 201, and the second conveyor 4 is fixedly arranged on the lower lifting frame 202. The upper lifting frame 201 and the lower lifting frame 202 are connected by a variable pitch mechanism. The variable pitch mechanism is an electric cylinder 17. The electric cylinder 17 is a modular product integrating a servo motor and a lead screw. The fixed end of the electric cylinder 17, that is, the servo motor end, is fixedly connected to the upper lifting frame 201, and the free end of the electric cylinder 17 is connected to the lower lifting frame 202 through a connecting piece. When the free end of the electric cylinder 17 is in a retracted state, the distance between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 is at the minimum distance. When the free end of the electric cylinder 17 is in an extended state, the lower lifting frame 202 is vertically downwardly displaced relative to the upper lifting frame 201. Driven by the lower lifting frame 202, the second conveyor 4 is vertically downwardly displaced relative to the first conveyor 3. The distance between the conveying planes of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 becomes larger. The specific extended height can be determined according to the layer spacing of the double-layer conveyor line body docked externally according to actual needs. Compared with the use of the jacking cylinder 11, the electric cylinder 17 has a faster response speed and higher control accuracy.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a second guide rail 18 is provided on the vertical profile of the frame 1 close to the driving ring belt. The length direction of the second guide rail 18 is perpendicular to the ground. When the pitch-changing mechanism is an embodiment including the lifting cylinder 11, sliders 19 are provided on both sides of the double-layer lifting frame 2. The sliders 19 are slidably connected with the second guide rail 18. When the pitch-changing mechanism is an embodiment including the electric cylinder 17, sliders 19 are provided on both sides of the upper lifting frame 201 and the lower lifting frame 202. The sliders 19 are slidably connected with the second guide rail 18. The sliders 19 and the second guide rail 18 play an auxiliary guiding role. The upper and lower ends of the second guide rail 18 are provided with bumpers 20, which can contact the double-layer lifting frame 2 to prevent the double-layer lifting frame 2 from over-operating.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4The figure also includes a counterweight assembly, which includes a counterweight plate 21, a guide wheel 22 and a first guide rail 23. The first guide rail 23 is arranged on a vertical frame profile on the side where the drive belt 8 is located. The length direction of the first guide rail 23 is in the vertical direction. Free guide wheels 22 are arranged on both sides of the counterweight plate 21. The guide wheels 22 slide with the first guide rail 23 on the corresponding side, so that the counterweight plate 21 can move up and down in the vertical direction. The other side surface of the drive belt 8 is fixedly connected to the counterweight plate 21. When the double-layer lifting frame 2 moves upward, the counterweight plate 21 moves on the drive belt 8. The counterweight plate 21 and the lifting unit are driven to move downward synchronously, that is, the counterweight plate 21 and the lifting unit have opposite movement tendencies. The counterweight assembly is used to balance the weight of the lifting unit, thereby reducing the shaking of the lifting unit during the lifting process. The weight of the counterweight plate 21 depends on the weight of the lifting unit and the load on the lifting unit. It can be dynamically adjusted by adding or removing additional auxiliary counterweight blocks, which improves stability and reduces the demand for the maximum torque of the drive motor 5. The upper and lower positions of the first guide rail 23 can be provided with collision blocks 20 to prevent the counterweight plate 21 from running over by over-contacting the counterweight plate 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it also includes a maintenance limit assembly, which includes an electric control sensor 24, a latch limit 25 and a latch 26. The electric control sensor 24 and the latch limit 25 are arranged on one side of the frame. The electric control sensor 24 is used to receive a contact signal and control the drive motor 5 according to the signal. The latch limit 25 has a latch hole. When the latch 26 is fully inserted into the latch hole, the electric control sensor 24 will receive the contact signal and control the drive motor 5 to stop running. It is suitable for preventing the double-deck elevator from running out of control and causing harm to maintenance personnel during maintenance. The latch 26 can only be inserted into the latch limit 25 at a fixed angle, which effectively prevents misoperation.

[0038] The present application discloses a delivery system, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, it includes a feeding double-layer conveyor line body on the feeding side relative to the double-layer elevator and a discharging double-layer conveyor line body relative to the double-layer elevator.

The discharging double-layer conveyor line body includes a first discharging conveyor line 29 and a second discharging conveyor line 30 stacked up and down. The distance between the conveying plane of the first feeding conveyor line 27 and the conveying plane of the second feeding conveyor line 28 is D1, and the distance between the conveying plane of the first discharging conveyor line 29 and the conveying plane of the second discharging conveyor line 30 is D2, and D1 is different from D2.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the overall height of the discharge double-layer conveyor line body is higher than that of the feed double-layer conveyor line body, and the height of the discharge end is higher than that of the feed end. When a number of loads are respectively located on the first feed conveyor line 27 and the second feed conveyor line 28, and are transported down to the feed end of the double-layer elevator on the first feed conveyor line 27 and the second feed conveyor line 28, the double-layer elevator frame 2 is placed in the downstroke position under the action of the drive motor 5, the lifting cylinder 11 is in the recovery position, the second conveyor 4 is in the downstroke position, the conveying plane of the first conveyor 3 is at the same height as the conveying plane of the first feed conveyor line 27, the conveying plane of the second conveyor 4 is at the same height as the conveying plane of the second feed conveyor line 28, and the loads enter the first and second feed conveyor lines 27 and 28 respectively. There are a conveyor 3 and a second conveyor 4, and the driving motor 5 drives the double-layer lifting frame 2 to move upward. At the same time, the free end of the lifting cylinder 11 extends out, driving the second conveyor 4 to be lifted vertically upward relative to the first conveyor 3, until the vertical height distance between the conveying plane of the first conveyor 3 and the conveying plane of the second conveyor 4 is equal to D2. When the driving motor 5 drives the conveying plane height of the first conveyor 3 to be the same as the conveying plane height of the first discharging conveyor line 29, the conveying plane height of the second conveyor 4 is also the same as the conveying plane of the second discharging conveyor line 30. Under the action of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4, the load enters the first discharging conveyor line 29 and the second discharging conveyor line 30 accordingly.

[0040] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the overall height of the discharge double-layer conveyor line body is higher than that of the feed double-layer conveyor line body. When a number of loads are respectively located on the first feed conveyor line 27 and the second feed conveyor line 28, and are transported down to the feed end of the double-layer elevator by the first feed conveyor line 27 and the second feed conveyor line 28, the double-layer elevator frame 2 is placed in the downstroke position under the action of the drive motor 5, the free end of the electric cylinder 17 is in the extended position, the second conveyor 4 is in the downstroke position, the conveying plane of the first conveyor 3 is at the same height as the conveying plane of the first feed conveyor line 27, the conveying plane of the second conveyor 4 is at the same height as the conveying plane of the second feed conveyor line 28, and the vertical height spacing between the conveying plane of the first conveyor 3 and the conveying plane of the second conveyor 4 is equal. At D1, the load enters the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 respectively, and the driving motor 5 drives the double-layer lifting frame 2 to move upward. At the same time, the free end of the electric cylinder 17 drives the second conveyor 4 to be vertically pulled upward relative to the first conveyor 3, until the vertical height distance between the conveying plane of the first conveyor 3 and the conveying plane of the second conveyor 4 is equal to D2. When the driving motor 5 drives the conveying plane height of the first conveyor 3 to be the same as the conveying plane height of the first discharge conveyor line 29, the conveying plane height of the second conveyor 4 is also the same as the conveying plane of the second discharge conveyor line 30. Under the action of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4, the load enters the first discharge conveyor line 29 and the second discharge conveyor line 30 respectively.
