[0017] To achieve the second object of this application, the technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0018] A method for transporting and stacking finished composite covers, using the above-mentioned device for transporting and stacking finished composite covers, includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. Convey the composite cover to the steering machine through a conveyor.

[0020] S2. Control the steering machine to rotate or not to rotate according to the state of the composite cover.

[0021] S3. Control the lifting drive assembly to drive the clamping assembly to clamp the composite cover, and according to the stacking position of the composite cover, make the composite cover flip or not flip.

[0022] S4. Control the moving assembly to move the composite cover to the stacking station.

[0023] Further, in step S2, judge the transportation state of the composite cover according to the sensor signals of the first detection part and the second detection part. According to the transportation state of the composite cover, control the driving motor to drive the distance between the two baffles on the baffle assembly to change, and control the steering machine to rotate.

[0024] Further, in step S3, control the lifting drive assembly to drive the clamping assembly to descend. The clamping assembly moves to the position of the composite cover, so that the auxiliary rotating plate and the active rotating plate are located on both sides of the composite cover. Then control the push-pull drive device to drive the auxiliary rotating plate to move, push the composite cover towards the active rotating plate, control the pushing distance of the push-pull drive device according to the pressure data of the pressure sensor, and judge whether the composite cover is horizontal according to the difference value of the distance measuring sensor.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0026] 1. In the present application, the U-shaped composite cover is conveyed to the steering machine through a conveyor. The steering machine adjusts the composite cover to the required transfer direction. The lifting drive assembly drives the clamping assembly to move to the position of the composite cover, and the clamping assembly clamps the composite cover. According to the stacking position of the composite cover, the clamping assembly drives the composite cover to flip. The moving assembly drives the lifting drive assembly to move, and then conveys the composite cover to the stacking station, completing the transfer and stacking operations of the composite cover.

[0027] 2. The composite cover plate conveyed on the conveyor of the present application has two transportation states. When passing through the baffle assembly, according to the two states of the composite cover plate, the driving motor drives the two baffles to approach or move away from each other, so that the interval size between the two baffles of the baffle assembly changes. When making a judgment, the sensor signals of the first detection part and the second detection part are used to judge the transportation state of the composite cover plate. Then, after the composite cover plate passes through the baffle assembly, the composite cover plate can move towards the steering machine in a completely forward or lateral transportation state. Under the action of the steering machine, the clamping assembly can clamp the composite cover plate.

[0028] 3. The active rotating plate and the auxiliary rotating plate of the present application jointly clamp the composite cover plate. The auxiliary rotating plate is driven by the push-pull driving device, so that the composite cover plate is pushed towards the active rotating plate. The column on the active rotating plate moves backward, and the spring is compressed, so that the composite cover plate is clamped. The column moves and contacts the pressure sensor on the fixed disk. When the pressure sensor reaches the set value, the push-pull driving device no longer pushes the auxiliary rotating plate, and then the composite cover plate is clamped, so that the composite cover plate can be smoothly flipped, and the composite cover plate is also prevented from being over-pressed. When the spring restores its elastic force, the buffer block will contact the fixed disk to avoid large impact and vibration at the active rotating plate.

[0029] 4. The horizontal detection part of the clamping body of the present application is used in cooperation with the active rotating plate and the auxiliary rotating plate. After the composite cover plate is flipped, two ranging sensors arranged front and back are used to detect the distances at different positions of the bottom flat plate of the composite cover plate, so as to judge whether the composite cover plate remains horizontal after being flipped, and avoid the situation that the composite cover plate is not stable when stacked due to non-horizontal rotation.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] This embodiment is a transfer and stacking device for finished composite covers, which is used to transport, clamp, flip, and stack the U-shaped composite cover 1. The U-shaped composite cover is simply referred to as the composite cover. As Figure 1 shown, the composite cover 1 has a bottom flat plate and two side vertical plates. The bottom flat plate and the side vertical plates form the U-shaped composite cover 1. Laterally, the composite cover 1 has a lateral opening. As shown in Figure 2, after the U-shaped composite covers 1 are stacked, the bottom layer of composite covers 1 at the bottom end is used as the first layer. The bottom flat plate of the composite covers 1 in the first layer faces downward and contacts the tray 2. The number of composite covers 1 in the first layer is 2. The bottom flat plate of the composite covers 1 in the second layer is arranged upward, and the number of composite covers 1 in the second layer is 3. The bottom flat plate of the composite covers 1 in the third layer is arranged downward, and so on. After stacking 8 rows, the stacking is completed, and then it is packaged and loaded onto the vehicle.

[0048] In this embodiment, the specific structure and effect of the transfer and stacking device in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 - 10.

[0049] The transfer and stacking device of this embodiment includes a conveyor 3. A rotary machine 4 and a support frame 7 are installed at the end of the conveyor 3. The conveyor 3 and the rotary machine 4 are both existing devices. The support frame 7 includes a column and a crossbeam. The crossbeam is installed at the upper end of the column and is arranged above the rotary machine 4. A moving assembly 8 is installed on the support frame 7. The moving assembly 8 is driven by a power device such as a motor to move on the crossbeam of the support frame 7. A lifting drive assembly 10 is installed on the moving assembly 8. A clamping assembly 11 is installed on the output shaft of the lifting drive assembly 10. The lifting drive assembly 10 drives the clamping assembly 11 to make a lifting motion. The clamping assembly 11 clamps the composite cover 1 and realizes the flipping of the composite cover 1.

[0050] As a specific implementation scheme, a connecting plate 9 is installed at the lower end of the moving assembly 8. The lifting drive assembly 10 is installed on the connecting plate 9. The output shaft of the lifting drive assembly 10 is arranged downward. The connecting plate 9 can be replaced with a connecting structure such as a frame structure or a connecting bracket.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the composite cover plate 1 moves on the conveyor 3, due to multiple factors such as different placements and the vibration of the conveyor 3, the composite cover plate 1 has at least two states, namely state A and state B, and there is also an inclined state based on state A or state B, but the inclination angle is not large. The side vertical plates of the composite cover plate 1 in state A are arranged front and back. Here, the composite cover plate 1 in state A is called the forward direction. The clamping assembly 11 cannot clamp the composite cover plate 1, and the composite cover plate 1 needs to be turned by the steering machine 4 to perform the clamping operation. The side plates of the composite cover plate 1 in state B are arranged laterally. Here, the composite cover plate 1 in state B is called the lateral direction. The clamping assembly 11 can directly clamp the composite cover plate 1 without the need for the steering machine 4 to turn the composite cover plate 1. However, the sizes of the composite cover plates 1 are different. When using the baffle plates to orient the composite cover plate 1, it is necessary to adjust the interval between the baffle plates according to the size of the composite cover plate 1 to ensure that the composite cover plate 1 can pass through the baffle plates smoothly and make the composite cover plate 1 reach the forward or lateral state.

[0052] In this embodiment, a baffle assembly 5 is installed on the conveyor 3. The baffle assembly 5 includes two bottom plates arranged at intervals. One bottom plate is arranged on one side of the conveyor 3, and the other bottom plate is arranged on the other side of the conveyor 3. The bottom plates are connected to the conveyor 3 by bolts. Each bottom plate has a baffle plate. The baffle plate is a stainless steel thin plate and has a certain deformation ability. Two ring bodies are installed on the baffle plate. A tension spring 16 is stretched on the baffle plate. One end of the tension spring 16 is connected to one ring body, and the other end of the tension spring 16 is connected to the other ring body. After the baffle plate is deformed, the tension spring 16 assists the baffle plate to return to its initial state. The upper end of the baffle plate in this embodiment is installed with racks, and gears are arranged between the racks. The gears are arranged on the output shaft of the drive motor 15. The drive motor 15 drives the gears to rotate, drives the racks to move, and then drives the baffle plate to deform, so that the interval size between the baffle plates on the baffle assembly 5 changes to form different intervals, enabling the composite cover plate 1 to pass through the baffle plates smoothly. Under the guidance of the baffle plates, the composite cover plate 1 can pass through the baffle assembly 5 in the forward or lateral state. As a matching structure, a first detection part 13 is installed on the conveyor 3 in this embodiment, and a second detection part 14 is installed at the end of the steering machine 4. The sensors on the first detection part 13 and the sensors on the second detection part 14 are arranged horizontally. However, the sensors on the first detection part 13 are for lateral detection, while the sensors on the second detection part 14 are for front and back detection. The first detection part 13 is arranged in front of the baffle assembly 5. When the sensors of the first detection part 13 can detect signals while the sensors of the second detection part 14 do not detect signals, it can be judged that the composite cover plate 1 is in state B. When the sensors of the first detection part 13 cannot detect signals while the sensors of the second detection part 14 detect signals, it can be judged that the composite cover plate 1 is in state A.

[0053] As a more specific implementation, the number of sensors on the first detection unit 13 and the second detection unit 14 can be more than one to improve the detection accuracy. Both the first detection unit 13 and the second detection unit 14 adopt vertical plate structures, and the sensors are fixed on the vertical plates. In this embodiment, the sensors of the first detection unit 13 can adopt opposed photoelectric sensors or reflective photoelectric sensors, and the sensors of the second detection unit 14 can adopt reflective photoelectric sensors.

[0054] If the sensors on the first detection unit 13 and the second detection unit 14 both have signals, the alarm device is activated for the managers of adjacent workstations to view.

[0055] A vision camera device 6 is installed at the front end of the steering gear 4. The vision camera device 6 takes pictures of the composite cover plate 1 entering the steering gear 4 for storage and archiving. As a matching structure, a detection device with a sensor is also installed at the vision camera device 6 to re-detect the composite cover plate 1, confirm the state of the composite cover plate 1, and cooperate with the sensors on the second detection unit 14 to provide a basis for whether the steering gear 4 steers.

[0056] The clamping assembly 11 of this embodiment includes a clamping main body 17. Specifically, the clamping main body 17 is a U-shaped structure with an opening downward. The clamping main body 17 has two relatively arranged side plates. Therefore, there is also an opening in the front-rear direction of the clamping main body 17, so that the composite cover plate 1 inside the clamping main body 17 has enough space to flip. The flipping angle is 180°, so that the bottom flat plate of the composite cover plate 1 is arranged upward. The clamping position of the composite cover plate 1 is located slightly below the center, and the clamping is more stable, and it can also ensure that the clamping main body 17 has enough space to flip the composite cover plate 1.

[0057] Specifically, a push-pull driving device 18 is installed on one side plate of the clamping main body 17, and an auxiliary rotating plate 21 capable of rotating motion is installed on the output shaft of the push-pull driving device 18. A rotating driving device 19 is installed on the other side plate, and a driving rotating plate 22 is installed on the output shaft of the rotating driving device 19.

[0058] As an implementation, the push-pull driving device 18 can adopt driving components such as electric cylinders and cylinders, and the rotating driving device 19 can adopt driving components such as motors and rotating cylinders.

[0059] A bearing is installed inside the auxiliary rotating plate 21 of this embodiment. For example, the bearing adopts a thrust bearing. The output shaft of the pushing driving device is connected to the inner circumference of the bearing. An end cover 23 is installed on the auxiliary rotating plate 21, and the end cover 23 is installed on the auxiliary rotating plate 21 through bolts. The end cover 23 fixes the bearing inside the auxiliary rotating plate 21, and the pushing driving device pushes the auxiliary rotating plate 21 to move and contact the composite cover plate 1.

[0060] A shaft body 24 is installed at the center of the active rotating plate 22 of this embodiment. The shaft body 24 is connected to the output shaft of the rotation driving device 19 through a coupling. The shaft body 24 is driven to rotate by the rotation driving device 19. The front end of the shaft body 24 has a key, the center of the active rotating plate 22 has a center blind hole, and the center blind hole has a keyway. The key is arranged in the keyway. There is a certain interval between the front end face of the shaft body 24 and the center blind hole, so that the active rotating plate 22 has a certain moving distance. There are several cylinders 26 on the active rotating plate 22. The cylinders 26 are evenly distributed around the central axis of the shaft body 24. As an implementation scheme, the number of cylinders 26 is 6. A fixing plate 25 is installed on the shaft body 24. Specifically, the fixing plate 25 is fixed on the shaft body 24 through a locking screw 32. Through holes are opened on the fixing plate 25, and the number of through holes is also 6. The cylinders 26 pass through the through holes. A spring 27 is installed between the active rotating plate 22 and the fixing plate 25. The spring 27 is arranged on the outer periphery of the cylinders 26. At least one end of a cylinder 26 is installed with a buffer block 28. Both the buffer block 28 and the corresponding cylinder 26 have holes. The buffer block 28 and the cylinder 26 are connected by inserting a pin into the holes of the buffer block 28 and the cylinder 26. As an implementation scheme, the number of cylinders 26 installed with buffer blocks 28 is 3. At least one end of a cylinder 26 is installed with a fixing seat 29. For example, the number of fixing seats 29 is 1. The front end of the fixing seat 29 is connected to the clamping plate on the fixing plate 25, so that the fixing seat 29 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 25. The cylinder 26 is inserted into the inside of the fixing seat 29. The end of the fixing seat 29 has a card slot. A pressure sensor 30 is installed inside the fixing seat 29. The pressure sensor 30 is arranged in the card slot. The cylinder 26 passes through the inside of the fixing seat 29. A set screw 31 is installed at the end of the fixing seat 29. The head end of the set screw 31 is a smooth rod, and the end of the set screw 31 has a thread. The head end of the set screw 31 is inserted into the central hole of the pressure sensor 30 to fix the pressure sensor 30 in the card slot. The end of the set screw 31 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 29, and the fixed connection method is a threaded connection.

[0061] As an implementation scheme, a horizontal detection part 20 is installed at the upper end of the clamping main body 17 in this embodiment. The horizontal detection part 20 includes two distance measuring sensors arranged at intervals. The two distance measuring sensors are arranged on a horizontal plate, and the horizontal plate is installed on the clamping main body 17.

[0062] As an implementation scheme, the active rotating plate 22 and the auxiliary rotating plate 21 have anti-slip patterns, so that the composite cover plate 1 can be more stable when being flipped.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] This embodiment is a method for transporting and stacking composite cover plate products. It uses a device for transporting and stacking composite cover plate products in Embodiment 1 to achieve the transportation and stacking of the composite cover plate 1 through the modes of conveying - guiding - turning - clamping - flipping - stacking.

[0065] A method for transporting and stacking composite cover plate products includes the following steps:

[0066] S1. Convey the composite cover plate 1 to the turning machine 4 through the conveyor 3;

[0067] S2. Control the turning machine 4 to rotate or not to rotate according to the state of the composite cover plate 1;

[0068] S3. Move the lifting drive assembly 10 to the position of the composite cover plate 1, drive the clamping assembly 11 to clamp the composite cover plate 1, and make the composite cover plate 1 flip or not flip according to the stacking position of the composite cover plate 1;

[0069] S4. Control the moving assembly 8 to move the composite cover plate 1 to the stacking station 12.

[0070] In step S1, since the finished products of the composite cover plate 1 are uniformly stored on the storage station after production, in this embodiment, the finished products of the composite cover plate 1 are manually or by a manipulator moved onto the conveyor 3, so that the bottom flat plate of the composite cover plate 1 contacts the conveyor 3, and the contact area between the composite cover plate 1 and the conveyor 3 is the largest, and the movement is the most stable.

[0071] In step S2, judge the transportation state of the composite cover plate 1 according to the sensor signals of the first detection part 13 and the second detection part 14. For example, when the composite cover plate 1 is in state A, the sensor of the first detection part 13 has no signal while the sensor of the second detection part 14 has a signal at this time. If a ranging sensor is used, the measurement data of the sensor of the second detection part 14 is within a certain range. When the composite cover plate 1 is in state B, the sensor of the first detection part 13 has a signal while the sensor of the second detection part 14 has no signal. Here, no signal can also be regarded as exceeding the set range.

[0072] As an implementation scheme, before judging the transportation state, in this embodiment, the composite cover plate 1 can be pushed into state A or state B through a pushing device.

[0073] According to the transportation state of the composite cover plate 1, control the drive motor 15 to drive the interval size of the baffles on the baffle assembly 5 to change. If the composite cover plate 1 is in state A, control the turning machine 4 to rotate, and on the turning machine 4, adjust the composite cover plate 1 from state A to state B.

[0074] In step S3, the lifting drive assembly 10 is controlled to drive the clamping assembly 11 to descend. The clamping assembly 11 wraps the composite cover plate 1 on the steering gear 4, so that the auxiliary rotating plate 21 and the active rotating plate 22 are located on both sides of the composite cover plate 1. Then, the push-pull drive device 18 is controlled to drive the auxiliary rotating plate 21 to move, and the composite cover plate 1 is pushed towards the active rotating plate 22. The pushing distance of the push-pull drive device 18 is controlled according to the pressure data of the pressure sensor 30, and whether the composite cover plate 1 is horizontal is judged according to the difference value of the distance measuring sensor. Specifically, when the push-pull drive device 18 pushes the composite cover plate 1 towards the active rotating plate 22, the pressure sensor 30 will gradually receive a pressure signal. When the pressure signal reaches the set value, it means that the clamping assembly 11 stably clamps the composite cover plate 1, and the moving and flipping operations can be carried out.

[0075] After the composite cover plate 1 is flipped, the horizontal degree of the composite cover plate 1 is detected by the two distance measuring sensors of the horizontal detection unit 20. If the difference between the two data is within the set range, it means that the composite cover plate 1 is in a horizontal state and the stacking operation can be carried out.

[0076] Before stacking, the tray 2 is first placed at the designated position of the stacking station 12.
