[0033] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the Figures 1-5 accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a suspension logistics conveyor line with a temporary storage function is shown, including a suspension 1, a conveyor track provided on the suspension 1, and a plurality of conveyor trolleys 2. The suspension 1 includes four vertically arranged columns 1a and a mounting bracket 1b horizontally arranged at the top of the four columns 1a. The conveyor track is installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 1b and includes two mutually parallel main tracks 3 extending along the horizontal direction, and a first driving assembly 4 provided on the main tracks 3 for driving the conveyor trolley 2 to move. A plurality of temporary storage tracks 5 are arranged between the two main tracks 3. The plurality of temporary storage tracks 5 are mutually parallel, arranged along the length direction of the main tracks 3, and both ends of each temporary storage track 5 are respectively connected to the two main tracks 3. A second driving assembly 6 for driving the conveyor trolley 2 to move is provided on the temporary storage tracks 5. In this way, the conveyor trolley 2 on the main tracks 3 can be temporarily stored on the temporary storage tracks 5, without the need to be manually removed or transported to a far storage point, greatly improving the logistics conveyor efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, a code is set on the conveying trolley 2, and a scanner for identifying the code (not shown in the figure) is provided at the junction of the main track 3 and the temporary storage track 5. By identifying the code through the scanner, sorting of products of different batches and different specifications can be achieved, so that different products can be stored separately on different temporary storage tracks 5, further improving the logistics conveying efficiency.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1-2 the figure, the two main tracks 3 include a first track 3a for loading and a second track 3b for unloading. A loading elevator is provided at the head end in the extending direction of the first track 3a, and an unloading elevator is provided at the end in the extending direction of the second track 3b. The temporary storage track 5 slopes downward along the direction from the first track 3a to the second track 3b, so that the conveying trolley 2 entering the temporary storage track 5 can slide to one end close to the second track 3b under the action of gravity, facilitating subsequent unloading.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first driving assembly 4 includes a main chain 4a arranged along the length direction of the main track 3 and a main motor 4b for driving the main chain 4a to run. The main chain 4a includes a first chain and a second chain which are integrally arranged and arranged vertically. As shown in Figure 3 the figure, the conveying trolley 2 can be suspended below the main track 3. It includes a trolley body 2a and a moving member 2b provided on the trolley body 2a. There are two moving members 2b which are respectively arranged at both ends of the trolley body 2a. Each moving member 2b respectively includes a connecting seat 2b1 hinged to the trolley body 2a, a moving wheel 2b2 provided on the connecting seat 2b1, and a connecting rod 2b3. There are two moving wheels 2b2 which can rollingly bear on the main track 3, and the connecting rod 2b3 can be inserted into the chain holes of the second chain. Among them, the main track 3 has an inner cavity, the moving wheel 2b2 is accommodated in the inner cavity, and the connecting rod 2b3 passes through the inner cavity and is inserted into the chain holes of the second chain. The conveying trolley 2 can realize its movement on the main track 3 through the cooperation of the moving wheel 2b2, the connecting rod 2b3 and the main chain 4a, and the moving efficiency is high; moreover, the connecting rod 2b3 inserted into the chain holes of the second chain can be conveniently disengaged from the main chain 4a, facilitating the switching of the conveying trolley 2 between the main track 3 and the temporary storage track 5.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 the figure again, one end of the connecting seat 2b1 has a connecting end, the connecting rod 2b3 is arranged on the connecting end and extends upward, and an elastic member 2c is arranged between the connecting end and the trolley body 2a. The elastic member 2c is a spring. The connecting rod 2b3 can be tightly inserted into the chain holes of the second chain under the elastic force of the elastic member 2c, preventing the connecting rod 2b3 from disengaging from the second chain and affecting the movement of the conveying trolley 2 on the main track 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2As shown, the second driving assembly 6 includes a staging chain 6a arranged along the length direction of the staging track 5 and a staging motor 6b for driving the staging chain 6a to run. The staging chain 6a includes a third chain and a fourth chain which are integrally arranged and arranged vertically. The conveying trolley 2 can be suspended below the staging track 5, and the moving wheels 2b2 can be rollingly carried on the staging track 5. The connecting rod 2b3 can be inserted into the chain holes of the fourth chain. Among them, the staging track 5 has an inner cavity, the moving wheels 2b2 are accommodated in the inner cavity, and the connecting rod 2b3 passes through the inner cavity and is inserted into the chain holes of the fourth chain. The conveying trolley 2 can realize its movement on the staging track 5 through the cooperation of the moving wheels 2b2, the connecting rod 2b3 and the staging chain 6a, and the moving efficiency is high; moreover, the connecting rod 2b3 inserted into the chain holes of the fourth chain can be easily disengaged from the staging chain 6a, which is convenient for the conveying trolley 2 to switch between the staging track 5 and the main track 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, in combination with Figures 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, a transition track 7 is provided between the main track 3 and the staging track 5. The conveying trolley 2 can be suspended below the transition track 7, and the moving wheels 2b2 can be rollingly carried on the transition track 7. A pushing assembly 8 for pushing the conveying trolley 2 is also provided on the transition track 7. Among them, as shown in combination with Figure 3 again, a rotating shaft 2e that can rotate around the vertical direction is provided on the trolley body 2a, and the connecting seat 2b1 is hinged to the rotating shaft 2e. The provision of the rotating shaft 2e enables the conveying trolley 2 to conveniently pass through the arc-shaped transition track 7.

[0042] Since neither the main chain 4a nor the staging chain 6a can be arranged along the arc direction, there is a conveying dead angle between the main track 3 and the staging track 5. The conveying trolley 2 cannot move in this conveying dead angle due to the lack of driving force from the main chain 4a and the staging chain 6a. Based on this, a transition track 7 and a pushing assembly 8 are provided in this embodiment. The conveying trolley 2 can smoothly switch between the main track 3 and the staging track 5 under the cooperation of the pushing assembly 8 and the transition track 7, preventing the conveying trolley 2 from staying at the connection between the main track 3 and the staging track 5 due to the loss of driving force from the first driving assembly 4 and the second driving assembly 6.

[0043] Specifically, in combination with Figures 1-2 and Figure 4As shown, the pushing assembly 8 includes an arc-shaped pushing frame 8a disposed below the transition track 7, a pushing chain 8b disposed on the pushing frame 8a, and a pushing motor 8c for driving the pushing chain 8b to operate. The pushing chain 8b includes a fifth chain and a sixth chain that are integrally arranged and arranged in the horizontal direction. Pushing blocks 8d are respectively disposed on the fifth chain and the sixth chain. A matching portion 2d for the pushing blocks 8d to abut against is disposed at the end of the conveying trolley 2. The fifth chain and the sixth chain arranged in the horizontal direction can cooperate with the arc extension direction of the transition track 7, so that the conveying trolley 2 can move along the arc-shaped transition track 7.

[0044] Wherein, the matching portion 2d is a vertically arranged matching plate, and a matching groove matching the outer contour of the pushing block 8d is disposed on the matching plate.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first guiding plate (not shown in the figure) is connected between the transition track 7 and the main track 3. The first guiding plate is inclined downward along the direction from the transition track 7 to the main track 3. The connecting rod 2b3 can gradually descend under the guiding action of the first guiding plate and reach below the main chain 4a, and then reset under the action of the elastic member 2c and be inserted into the second chain, facilitating the relative insertion of the connecting rod 2b3 and the second chain.

[0046] A second guiding plate (not shown in the figure) is disposed between the transition track 7 and the temporary storage track 5. The second guiding plate is inclined downward along the direction from the transition track 7 to the temporary storage track 5. The connecting rod 2b3 can gradually descend under the guiding action of the second guiding plate and reach below the temporary storage chain 6a, and then reset under the action of the elastic member 2c and be inserted into the fourth chain, facilitating the relative insertion of the connecting rod 2b3 and the fourth chain.

[0047] In this embodiment, in combination Figure 5 As shown, a rail changing assembly 9 is further disposed between the transition track 7 and the main track 3. The rail changing assembly 9 includes a baffle 9a whose one end is hinged to the main track 3 and a driving member 9b for driving the baffle 9a to rotate. The driving member 9b is a cylinder. The cylinder body of the cylinder is hinged to the main track 3, and the piston rod is hinged to the other end of the baffle 9a. The baffle 9a is located above the transition track 7 and its rotation axis extends along the vertical direction. The driving member 9b drives the baffle 9a to rotate forward, so that the baffle 9a can rotate to above the transition track 7 and block the moving path of the conveying trolley 2 on the transition track 7, so that the conveying trolley 2 cannot switch from the main track 3 to the transition track 7, and it can only move along the main track 3; the driving member 9b drives the baffle 9a to rotate backward, and the baffle 9a moves away from the transition track 7. At this time, the conveying trolley 2 can switch from the main track 3 to the transition track 7 and move on the transition track 7, thereby realizing the rail change between the main track 3 and the corresponding transition track 7.

[0048] The embodiments of the specific implementation manners are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention shall be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
