Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of aluminum material production and transportation equipment, and in particular to a multifunctional aluminum material transfer device. Background Art

[0002] In the production and processing of aluminum materials, the aluminum materials produced need to be processed by various processes or procedures, among which the transportation of profiles is an indispensable link. At present, the traditional production method of transporting profiles mainly adopts various types of frame-mounting equipment for transportation, but the transportation process mainly relies on manual forklifts or trolleys for transportation. First of all, the traditional transportation volume is relatively large, and the human and material costs required are high; secondly, when the forklift transports multiple stacked material frames, it is easy for the material frame to tip over and damage the profile, and if the staff does not operate it properly, it will aggravate the loss of the material frame; also due to the untimely treatment of the damaged material frame, and the scratches on the aluminum materials caused by multiple transportations will cause the yield rate to be further reduced, and there are certain safety hazards in the transportation process of the material frame. In addition, the manual transportation method is not convenient for the real-time collection and management of data informationization, and it is ineffective in terms of information management, with high costs, and is not conducive to the digital transformation of enterprises. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional aluminum material transfer device which is flexible in transfer, saves production costs, and saves equipment space.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a multifunctional aluminum material transfer device, characterized in that it includes an upstream production line and a downstream production line, and a transfer vehicle provided between the upstream production line and the downstream production line;

[0005] The upstream production line includes an empty beam input assembly and a full beam output assembly provided below the empty beam input assembly;

[0006] The empty beam input assembly comprises an empty beam input frame, a first conveying chain provided on the empty beam input frame, and a first beam output arm provided on one end of the first conveying chain;

[0010] The full beam input assembly comprises a full beam input frame, a third conveying chain provided on the full beam input frame, and a second beam output arm provided on one end of the third conveying chain;

[0011] The empty beam output assembly comprises an empty beam output frame, a fourth conveying chain provided on the empty beam output frame, and a second beam taking arm provided on one end of the fourth conveying chain;

[0012] The full beam input assembly and the empty beam output assembly are both provided with multiple groups of arranged units;

[0013] The full beam output rack and the full beam input rack are at the same height;

[0014] The empty beam input rack and the empty beam output rack are at the same height;

[0015] The transfer vehicle comprises a frame, rollers provided on the frame, a lifting frame provided on the frame, a lifting platform provided on the top of the lifting frame, left and right conveyor chains provided on the lifting platform, and short conveyor chains with precise centering and positioning pins respectively provided on both sides of the left and right conveyor chains;

[0016] When the lifting platform is lowered, the left and right conveyor chains are at the same height as the full beam output rack and the full beam input rack respectively; when the lifting platform is raised, the left and right conveyor chains are at the same height as the empty beam input rack and the empty beam output respectively.

[0017] In some embodiments, the full beam assembly is at the same height as the empty beam assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, a first hoist is provided between the first beam-discharging arm and the first beam-taking arm. A second hoist is provided between the second beam-discharging arm and the second beam-taking arm.

[0019] In some embodiments, the height of the upstream production line and the downstream production line are both 14m, and the height of the factory building matching the upstream production line and the downstream production line is 15.8m. Thus, compared with the traditional factory building, the height is saved by 11m, and the regional building materials are saved by 41%, which has very considerable economic benefits.

[0020] Another object of the invention is to provide an application method of a multifunctional aluminum material transfer device, wherein the specific steps are as follows:

[0021] (1) On the upstream production line, the beam on the empty beam input rack takes an empty beam through the first beam discharging arm and sends it to the first elevator. The first elevator sends an empty beam to the manual insertion position, and inserts the material to obtain a full beam;

[0022] (2) The first hoist lifts the full beam to the first beam taking arm, and then the first beam taking arm transports the full beam to the full beam output rack, where a plurality of groups of full beams are arranged and stored;

[0024] (4) The transfer vehicle comes over and transports the full beam to the full beam input rack of the downstream production line;

[0025] (5) The transfer vehicle rises and takes away a group of empty beams on the empty beam output rack of the downstream production line, and returns to the upstream production line, and transports the empty beams back to the empty beam input rack of the upstream production line. At this point, the beam completes a reciprocating cycle;

[0026] At the same time, the full beam is sent to the second elevator through the second beam-discharging arm, and then transported to the manual unloading position by the second elevator. After unloading, the empty beam is obtained, and the empty beam is transported to the empty beam output rack by the second elevator, and then taken out by the second beam-taking arm and arranged and stored on the empty beam output rack.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that it has the effects of flexible transportation, saving production costs, and saving factory building costs. Since the transfer vehicle and the upstream production line and the downstream production line are respectively powered, heavy-load transportation can be met. Compared with the traditional framed transfer method, the transportation efficiency is high and the production management is more convenient. The transfer vehicle can realize the raising and lowering of the beam, realize the transfer of full beams and empty beams, and save the investment of customized manipulator equipment compared with the traditional driving beam grabbing method, and greatly reduce the height of the factory building, greatly saving the construction cost of the factory building. For example, the short conveyor chain on the transfer vehicle can realize the rapid transfer between the conveyor chain of the transfer vehicle and the conveyor chain of the workshop, which has the advantage of fast upper and lower slings compared with the traditional manipulator grabbing beam or single beam taking mechanism; in addition, the height of the traditional customized manipulator factory building is about 26.8m, while the height of the new transfer device factory building is about 15.8m, each column height is saved by about 11m, and the cost of the columns in the single beam operation area is saved by about 41%, which has very considerable economic efficiency in the early factory building. In this way, the effects of flexible transportation, saving production costs, and saving factory building costs are achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The full beam output frame 121 is at the same height as the full beam input frame 211. The empty beam input frame 111 is at the same height as the empty beam output frame 221. The transfer vehicle 03 includes a frame 31, a roller 32 provided on the frame 31, a lifting frame 33 provided on the frame 31, a lifting platform 34 provided on the top of the lifting frame 33, left and right conveying chains 35 provided on the lifting platform 34, and short conveying chains 36 with precise centering and positioning pins 37 are respectively provided on both sides of the left and right conveying chains 35. When the lifting platform 34 is lowered, the left and right conveying chains 35 are respectively at the same height as the full beam output frame 121 and the full beam input frame 211. When the lifting platform 34 is raised, the left and right conveying chains 35 are respectively at the same height as the empty beam input frame 111 and the empty beam output. The full beam assembly and the empty beam assembly are at the same height. A first elevator is provided between the first beam output arm 113 and the first beam taking arm 123. A second elevator is provided between the second beam output arm 213 and the second beam taking arm 223. The heights of the upstream production line 01 and the downstream production line 02 are both 14m, and the height of the factory building matching the upstream production line 01 and the downstream production line 02 is 15.8m.

[0041] An application method of a multifunctional aluminum material transfer device, wherein the specific steps are as follows:

[0042] (1) On the upstream production line 01, the beam on the empty beam input rack 111 takes an empty beam through the first beam output arm 113 and sends it to the first elevator. The first elevator sends an empty beam to the manual insertion position for insertion to obtain a full beam.

[0043] (2) The first hoist lifts the full beam to the first beam taking arm 123, and then the first beam taking arm 123 transports the full beam to the full beam output rack 121, and arranges and stores a plurality of groups of full beams on the full beam output rack 121.

[0044] (3) The transfer vehicle 03 comes over to take away a group of full beams on the full beam output rack 121, and the transfer vehicle 03 moves to the corresponding downstream production line 02.

[0045] (4) Transfer vehicle 03 comes over and delivers the full beam to the full beam input rack 211 of downstream production line 02.

[0046] (5) The transfer vehicle 03 rises and takes away a group of empty beams on the empty beam output rack 221 of the downstream production line 02, and returns to the upstream production line 01, and transports the empty beams back to the empty beam input rack 111 of the upstream production line 01. At this point, the beam completes a reciprocating cycle.

[0047] At the same time, the full beam is sent to the second elevator through the second beam discharge arm 213, and then transported to the manual unloading position by the second elevator. After unloading, the empty beam is obtained, and the empty beam is transported to the empty beam output rack 221 by the second elevator, and then taken out by the second beam taking arm 223 and arranged and stored in the empty beam output rack 221.

[0048] There are two alignment processes in the alignment of the conveyor chains between the above-mentioned transfer vehicle 03 and the upstream production line 01 and the downstream production line 02. The first alignment process relies on the barcode on the parallel rails to dynamically know the position of the transfer device in real time, and slow down when approaching the workstation required for docking, and gradually approach the docking position. When the matching switch on the transfer vehicle 03 detects the signal, the transfer vehicle 03 stops, and at this time, the initial positioning is achieved by electrical detection means; the second alignment process relies on the positioning pin on the short conveyor chain 36 to insert into the positioning hole of the fixed workstation to achieve mechanical alignment. At this point, the alignment of the conveyor chain of the transfer vehicle 03 and the workshop conveyor chain can be controlled within the allowable operating range; the accuracy, stability and reliability of the beam transportation are ensured through electrical preliminary positioning and mechanical precise positioning.

[0049] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the invention.
