For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0052] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0053] Combine the following Figures 1 to 5 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a material transfer box is disclosed, including a support frame 1, a first material box 2 and a second material box 3, wherein the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are arranged along the height direction of the support frame 1, and a plurality of the first material boxes 2 and the second material boxes 3 are provided, and the plurality of first material boxes 2 and the plurality of second material boxes 3 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the support frame 1.
[0055] The material transfer box of this embodiment is configured by arranging the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 along the height direction of the support frame 1, and multiple first material boxes 2 and second material boxes 3 are arranged along the circumference of the support frame 1. Multiple first material boxes 2 and second material boxes 3 can realize the storage and transfer of materials, thereby increasing the single material transmission volume, speeding up the production rhythm, and improving production efficiency.
[0056] It should be noted that the material may specifically be a relatively light structural part such as an injection molded part or a chip. For the sake of convenience, the present embodiment uses an injection molded part as an example, but is not limited thereto.
[0057] In terms of shape, the support frame 1 can specifically be a geometric frame, such as a rectangular frame, but is not limited thereto.
[0058] Taking the supporting frame 1 as a rectangular frame as an example, the supporting frame 1 is formed by fixing and overlapping a plurality of horizontal bars and vertical bars, and has the characteristics of stable structure, less material and light weight.
[0059] A bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the support frame 1, and the bottom plate is fixedly connected to a plurality of cross bars, and the bottom plate is used to support the internal structure.
[0060] The first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are both used for carrying materials. The first material box 2 and the second material box 3 have a placement cavity inside, and the materials can be placed in the placement cavity for storage and transportation.
[0061] In terms of the shape, the first material box 2 and / or the second material box 3 can be circular, elliptical or geometric, etc., and can be set according to needs.
[0062] For the convenience of explanation, this embodiment is described by taking the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 as square boxes as an example.
[0063] The specific setting of the size of the first material box 2 and the size of the second material box 3 needs to take into account the size of the material to be transported. It is optimal if the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 can just hold the material. This embodiment does not make any specific limitation.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are staggered along the circumference of the support frame 1 .
[0065] Since the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are arranged along the height direction of the support frame 1, mutual interference is avoided. The first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are staggered along the circumference of the support frame 1 to facilitate the placement and removal of materials and reduce interference in use.
[0066] In the present embodiment, the first material box 2 is arranged above the second material box 3. When placing materials, the materials are placed in the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 from top to bottom. The first material box 2 located above may block the second material box 3 located below, resulting in interference with the first material box 2 located above when placing materials in the second material box 3. Therefore, the present application staggers the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 along the circumference of the support frame 1, which can well solve the above problem.
[0067] In some embodiments, both the first magazine 2 and the second magazine 3 can be transported and moved along the circumference of the support frame 1 .
[0068] By arranging the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to be able to be transported and moved along the circumference of the support frame 1, multiple first material boxes 2 and multiple second material boxes 3 can be moved to the material picking position or the unloading position in sequence, which facilitates the taking and placing of materials and thereby improves the material loading and unloading efficiency.
[0069] During the actual production process, the material picking position and the material unloading position are usually fixed. When loading, the material taken out from the material picking position needs to be placed in each first material box 2 and the second material box 3 along the circumference of the support frame 1; when unloading, the material in each first material box 2 and the second material box 3 needs to be taken out along the circumference of the support frame 1 and placed in the unloading position. By arranging the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to be able to be transported and moved along the circumference of the support frame 1, when taking and placing materials, the movement of the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 can make multiple first material boxes 2 and multiple second material boxes 3 move to the material picking position or the unloading position in turn for loading and unloading, which is very convenient and improves production efficiency.
[0070] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the material transfer box also includes a driving assembly 4, which is disposed on the supporting frame 1, and the driving assembly 4 is transmission-connected to both the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to drive the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to move along the circumferential direction of the supporting frame 1.
[0071] The setting of the driving component 4 can enable the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to be automatically moved and transported, and the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are driven by the same driving component 4 to move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the relative positions of the two are always staggered, which is convenient for material removal.
[0072] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 4 includes a driving motor 41 and a transmission structure 42, wherein the driving motor 41 is fixedly connected to the supporting frame 1, the transmission structure 42 is transmission-connected to the driving motor 41, and the transmission structure 42 is transmission-connected to both the first material box 2 and the second material box 3.
[0073] The driving motor 41 rotates to drive the transmission structure 42 to move, thereby driving the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 which are transmission-connected to the transmission structure 42 to move synchronously.
[0074] Specifically, the driving motor 41 may be a servo motor. An output gear is disposed on the motor shaft of the driving motor 41 . The output gear cooperates with the transmission structure 42 to achieve power transmission.
[0075] The motor shaft of the driving motor 41 and the output gear may be connected by a key or directly fixed by welding, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0076] In some embodiments, the transmission structure 42 includes an active transmission chain 421, a transmission sprocket group 422, a first driven transmission chain 423 and a second driven transmission chain 424, wherein the active transmission chain 421 is transmission-connected to the driving motor 41, a plurality of transmission sprocket groups 422 are provided, and the plurality of transmission sprocket groups 422 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support frame 1, one of the transmission sprocket groups 422 is transmission-connected to the active transmission chain 421, the first driven transmission chain 423 is arranged along the circumference of the support frame 1, the first driven transmission chain 423 and the plurality of transmission sprocket groups 422 are transmission-connected, the first material box 2 is connected to the first driven transmission chain 423, the second driven transmission chain 424 is arranged along the circumference of the support frame 1, the second driven transmission chain 424 and the first driven transmission chain 423 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the support frame 1, the second driven transmission chain 424 and the plurality of transmission sprocket groups 422 are transmission-connected, and the second material box 3 is connected to the second driven transmission chain 424.
[0077] The driving motor 41 rotates, driving the active transmission chain 421 to rotate, and then driving the multiple transmission sprocket groups 422 that are transmission-connected to the active transmission chain 421 to rotate, thereby driving the first driven transmission chain 423 and the second driven transmission chain 424 that are transmission-connected to the multiple transmission sprocket groups 422 to rotate along the circumference of the support frame 1, and finally driving the first material box 2 connected to the first driven transmission chain 423 and the second material box 3 connected to the second driven transmission chain 424 to move along the circumference of the support frame 1.
[0078] Specifically, the active transmission chain 421 is meshed with an output gear on the motor shaft of the driving motor 41 .
[0079] When the driving motor 41 rotates, the output gear is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the active transmission chain 421 meshing with the output gear to rotate.
[0080] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission sprocket group 422 includes a transmission gear shaft 4221, a first transmission gear 4223 and a second transmission gear 4224, wherein the transmission gear shaft 4221 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1, and the transmission gear shaft 4221 is arranged along the height direction of the support frame 1, one of the transmission gear shafts 4221 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 4222, the driving gear 4222 is meshed with the driving transmission chain 421, the first transmission gear 4223 is fixedly arranged on the transmission gear shaft 4221, the first transmission gear 4223 is meshed with the first driven transmission chain 423, the second transmission gear 4224 is fixedly arranged on the transmission gear shaft 4221, and the second transmission gear 4224 is meshed with the second driven transmission chain 424.
[0081] The driving motor 41 rotates, driving the active transmission chain 421 to rotate, and then driving the active gear 4222 meshing with the active transmission chain 421 to rotate synchronously, and then driving the transmission gear shaft 4221 fixedly connected to the driving gear 4222 to rotate, and driving the first transmission gear 4223 and the second transmission gear 4224 on the transmission gear shaft 4221 to rotate, and then driving the first driven transmission chain 423 meshing with the first transmission gear 4223 and the second driven transmission chain 424 meshing with the second transmission gear 4224 to rotate, and finally driving the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to transmit and move along the circumference of the support frame 1.
[0082] In order to reduce the rotational friction resistance of the transmission gear shaft 4221, a bearing seat can be provided, and the bottom of the transmission gear shaft 4221 is installed on the bottom plate of the support frame 1 through the bearing seat.
[0083] In this embodiment, the first transmission gear 4223 is arranged above the second transmission gear 4224, so that the upper first transmission gear 4223 and the first driven transmission chain 423 located above are meshed, and the lower second transmission gear 4224 and the second driven transmission chain 424 located below are meshed.
[0084] It can be understood that the distance between the first transmission gear 4223 and the second transmission gear 4224 determines the interval between the first driven transmission chain 423 and the second driven transmission chain 424, thereby determining the spacing between the first material box 2 and the second material box 3. Therefore, the spacing between the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 can be controlled by designing the distance between the first transmission gear 4223 and the second transmission gear 4224. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations.
[0085] Preferably, the height of the transmission gear shaft 4221 is lower than the height of the supporting frame 1, and the first transmission gear 4223 and the second transmission gear 4224 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the transmission gear shaft 4221, so that the entire transmission structure 42 is located inside the supporting frame 1, which is conducive to a compact structure.
[0086] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 4 further includes a motor mounting plate 43 , the motor mounting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the supporting frame 1 , and the driving motor 41 is disposed on the motor mounting plate 43 .
[0087] The motor mounting plate 43 facilitates the installation of the driving motor 41 on the supporting frame 1 , and the motor mounting plate 43 also facilitates the installation of the driving motor 41 to a preset height, so as to facilitate the cooperation between the driving motor 41 and the transmission structure 42 .
[0088] Specifically, the motor mounting plate 43 extends along the height direction of the support frame, and the driving motor 41 is invertedly mounted on the motor mounting plate 43, with the motor shaft thereof extending toward the bottom of the support frame.
[0089] In terms of specific shape, the motor mounting plate 43 can be set as an L-shaped plate, the bottom of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the support frame 1, and the driving motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the L-shaped plate.
[0090] Optionally, the motor mounting plate 43 and the driving motor 41, and the motor mounting plate 43 and the bottom plate of the supporting frame 1 can be fixed by threaded connection, welding, etc., which can be selected according to needs and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0091] As for the specific installation position of each structure, as an exemplary explanation, the drive motor 41 is located inside the first driven transmission chain 423 and the second driven transmission chain 424, the first driven transmission chain 423 and the second driven transmission chain 424 are located inside the support frame 1 and distributed around the support frame 1, the first material box 2 is arranged on the outside of the first driven transmission chain 423, so that the first material box 2 moves along the rotation of the first driven transmission chain 423, and the second material box 3 is arranged on the outside of the second driven transmission chain 424, so that the first material box 2 moves along the rotation of the first driven transmission chain 423.
[0092] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that there is a certain space between the outer side of the first driven transmission chain 423 and the side wall of the support frame 1, and between the outer side of the second driven transmission chain 424 and the side wall of the support frame 1, which facilitates the installation and movement of the first material box 2 and the second material box 3.

[0095] Of course, it should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the transmission structure 42 can also be configured to include an active transmission belt, an axle, a first driven transmission belt and a second driven transmission belt, wherein the active transmission belt is connected to the drive motor 41, the axle is connected to the active transmission belt through the active pulley, the first driven transmission belt and the second driven transmission belt are both arranged along the circumference of the support frame, the first driven transmission belt and the second driven transmission belt are respectively coordinated through the driven pulley and the axle, the first material box 2 is connected to the first driven transmission belt, and the second material box 3 is connected to the second driven transmission belt.

[0097] In some embodiments, the material transfer box further includes a guide assembly 5 , which is disposed on the support frame 1 , and is used to guide the movement of the first material box 2 and / or the second material box 3 .
[0098] The setting of the guide component 5 can guide the moving direction of at least one of the first material box 2 and the second material box 3, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the first material box 2 and / or the second material box 3, and the guide component 5 can also support at least one of the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to improve the smoothness of movement.
[0099] Regarding the specific structure of the guide assembly 5, in some embodiments, based on the second material box 3 being arranged below the first material box 2, and the guide assembly 5 guiding the movement of the second material box 3, the guide assembly 5 includes a guide rail 51, and the guide rail 51 is arranged along the moving trajectory of the second material box 3, and the guide rail 51 is located below the second material box 3, and the second material box 3 is slidably connected to the guide rail 51.

[0101] Specifically, the guide rail 51 is annular, and is arranged along the outer circumference of the second driven transmission chain 424 and fixed on the bottom plate of the support frame 1 .
[0102] The distance between the guide rail 51 and the second driven transmission chain 424 is equal everywhere, so that the second material box 3 can reduce the feeling of stagnation when moving along the guide rail 51 and the second driven transmission chain 424.
[0103] In some embodiments, the guide assembly 5 further includes a slider 52 , which is slidably connected to the guide rail 51 , and the bottom of the second material box 3 is connected to the slider 52 .
[0104] The guide rail 51 and the second material box 3 are connected by the slider 52 , and the slider 52 can support the bottom of the second material box 3 , so that part of the force of the second material box 3 is transmitted to the slider 52 and the guide rail 51 , thereby improving the transmission stability of the second material box 3 .
[0105] Preferably, there is a clearance fit between the slider 52 and the guide rail 51. When the second material box 3 moves along the support frame and gets stuck at a turn, the slider 52 can be adaptively moved and adjusted relative to the guide rail 51 to avoid transmission jam of the second material box 3 and improve the smoothness of the movement and transmission of the second material box 3.
[0106] In some embodiments, the first magazine 2 and the first driven transmission chain 423 are hinged; and / or the second magazine 3 and the second driven transmission chain 424 are hinged.
[0107] By hingedly connecting the first material box 2 and the first driven transmission chain 423 , and / or the second material box 3 and the second driven transmission chain 424 , the first material box 2 and / or the second material box 3 can have a certain degree of freedom.
[0108] It is understandable that the hinge between the second material box 3 and the second driven transmission chain 424 allows the second material box 3 to have a certain degree of freedom relative to the second driven transmission chain 424, and can further alleviate the jamming of the second material box 3 when moving along the guide rail 51 and the second driven transmission chain 424.

[0115] The unloaded automatic guided transport vehicle moves to the material picking position, places the material in the corresponding first material box 2 and second material box 3, then the driving component 4 drives the first material box 2 and second material box 3 loaded with the material to move along the circumference of the support frame 1 so that the first material box 2 and second material box 3 behind it move to the material picking position, and then places the material in the corresponding first material box 2 and second material box 3, and again drives the first material box 2 and second material box 3 loaded with the material to move along the circumference of the support frame 1 through the driving component 4 so that the first material box 2 and second material box 3 behind it move to the material picking position, and so on and so forth, until all the first material boxes 2 and second material boxes 3 are filled with material;
[0116] The automatic guided transport vehicle loaded with materials moves to the unloading position, takes out the materials in the corresponding first material box 2 and the second material box 3, and then the driving component 4 drives the empty first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to move along the circumferential direction of the support frame 1 so that the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 loaded with materials behind them move to the unloading position, and then take out the materials, and the cycle continues until all the materials are taken out from the first material box 2 and the second material box 3;
[0117] The driving assembly 4 drives the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to move along the circumferential direction of the support frame 1 in detail: the driving motor 41 rotates, driving the active transmission chain 421 connected to the driving motor 41 to rotate, and then driving the active gear 4222 meshing with the active transmission chain 421 to rotate synchronously, and then driving the transmission gear shaft 4221 fixedly connected to the active gear 4222 to rotate, and driving the first transmission gear 4223 and the second transmission gear 4224 on the transmission gear shaft 4221 to rotate, thereby driving the first driven transmission chain 423 meshing with the first transmission gear 4223 and the second driven transmission chain 424 meshing with the second transmission gear 4224 to rotate, and finally driving the first material box 2 and the second material box 3 to move along the circumferential direction of the support frame 1 for transmission;
[0118] The automated guided vehicle reciprocates between the material picking position and the material unloading position, thereby realizing the long-distance transmission and transfer of materials.
