Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material feeding, and in particular to a tray dividing mechanism and a tray dividing method of a material bin. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of electronic or mechanical products, the processed products need to be placed in trays for subsequent product transportation. To facilitate product transportation, multiple trays are usually stacked.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN217707861U discloses a multifunctional automatic feeding silo mechanism, including a tray handling module, a full tray lifting module, an empty tray silo lifting module, a silo body module, a tray material distribution module, a feeding belt line and a unloading belt line; wherein the full tray feeding module is arranged on the left side of the silo body module, and the empty tray silo module is arranged on the right side of the silo body module. The AGV trolley transports the material to be flush with the feeding belt line, and determines whether the material can be fed through the feeding sensor. If there is no obstruction, the full tray is fed in through the conveyor belt, and the power is provided by the No. 1 servo motor. The No. 1 lifting plate descends to the bottom of the mechanism, and the full tray is transported to the No. 1 lifting plate through the feeding conveyor belt, and then raised to the material taking position by the No. 1 servo motor. When the parts of the first tray are used up, the tray transport module transports it to the empty tray lifting module, and then moves the set distance upward through the No. 1 servo motor, and repeats until the last full tray is moved away, the No. 1 lifting plate descends, and the full tray is placed again, and the cycle repeats. In the above utility model, after the last tray of the previous group of trays is used up, it is necessary to go through multiple steps before the top tray of the next group of trays can reach the material fetching position. The above multiple steps include: ① Move the last tray of the previous group of trays from the material fetching position; ② The No. 1 lifting plate descends; ③ The next group of trays is transported to the No. 1 lifting plate; ④ The No. 1 lifting plate rises, and the top tray of the next group of trays reaches the material fetching position. It can be seen that in the automatic feeding bin mechanism of the above utility model, after the previous group of trays has finished fetching, the next group of trays will have to wait for a long time to reach the material fetching position, and the overall feeding efficiency needs to be further improved.

[0018] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the tray dividing mechanism of the silo provided by the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0020] The above-mentioned silo includes multiple layers of support frames, which are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. Each layer of the support frames is used to place a material tray, and the material tray is used to carry materials.

[0021] Among them, a fork can be inserted under the tray on the support frame and the fork can lift the tray on the support frame to a certain height. For example, the support frame can be set as two supporting cantilevers, and the distance between the two layers of the support frame is greater than the height of the tray containing the material.

[0022] The above-mentioned distribution mechanism includes: A first silo conveying streamline 1, the first silo conveying streamline 1 is used to carry the silo and drive the silo to move horizontally; The silo lifting device 2 is arranged on the silo removal side of the first silo conveying streamline 1.

The above-mentioned second silo conveying streamline 5 is used to receive and carry the silo horizontally moved out from the above-mentioned carrying device 22 at a low position and drive the silo to move horizontally.

[0023] The above-mentioned first silo conveying streamline 1, tray conveying streamline 4 and second silo conveying streamline 5 are all continuous conveying streamlines, which are friction-driven machines that transport materials in a continuous manner. In this embodiment, the first silo conveying streamline 1, tray conveying streamline 4 and second silo conveying streamline 5 are all roller conveying streamlines. The first silo conveying streamline 1 is used as an example for structural description. The first silo conveying streamline 1 includes a conveying assembly and a conveying streamline support 11. The conveying assembly is installed on the conveying streamline support 11. The conveying assembly includes a roller 12 and a motor 13. The roller 12 is used to support the silo and frictionally drive the silo. The motor 13 drives the roller 12 to rotate. Specifically, the roller 12 is rotatably connected to the conveying streamline support 11, the motor 13 is installed on the conveying streamline support 11 and drives the roller 12 to rotate, the silo is placed on the rotating roller 12, and the roller 12 frictionally drives the silo to translate.

[0024] The first lifting drive device 23 drives the carrying device 22 to descend intermittently, that is, the carrying device 22 descends a certain distance from the high position and then stops for a certain period of time, and repeats this action until the carrying device 22 descends to the low position. The first lifting drive device 23 drives the carrying device 22 to ascend continuously. Specifically, the first lifting drive device 23 is connected to the lifting component bracket 21, and the carrying device 22 is connected to the first lifting drive device 23.

[0025] The working principle of the above-mentioned material tray fork picking device 3 is similar to that of a forklift, except that the forklift moves on the ground with wheels, thereby driving the fork to move horizontally, while the material tray fork picking device 3 drives the fork 32 to move horizontally through the translation drive device 35. Specifically, the translation drive device 35 is connected to the fork picking component bracket 31, the second lifting drive device 34 is connected to the translation drive device 35, the mounting arm 33 spans above the material tray conveying streamline 4, the mounting arm 33 is a cantilever, one end of which is connected to the second lifting drive device 34, and the fork 32 is L-shaped and connected to the bottom of the mounting arm 33.

[0026] The tray separation mechanism and tray separation method of the silo of the present invention are provided by setting a first silo conveying streamline 1, a silo lifting device 2, a tray forking device 3, a tray conveying streamline 4 and a second silo conveying streamline 5. The silo is cached on the first silo conveying streamline 1 and the silo is quickly conveyed to the silo lifting device 2 when needed. The silo lifting device 2 drives the silo to descend and transfers the tray to the tray forking device 3. The tray forking device 3 transfers the tray to the tray conveying streamline 4. The tray is cached on the tray conveying streamline 4. The material tray can be quickly transported to the material fetching position when needed. When the silo lifting device 2 drives the silo to descend to fetch the material tray, the silo is also constantly approaching the second silo conveying streamline 5. When the material tray fork device 3 takes away the last material tray in the silo, the silo lifting device 2 is just flush with the second silo conveying streamline 5, and the silo can be quickly moved out to the second silo conveying streamline 5. In the present invention, after the material tray of the previous silo is taken, the material tray group of the next silo can quickly reach the material fetching position, and the loading efficiency is high.

[0027] In this embodiment, the carrying device 22 is a third silo conveying streamline.

[0028] The third silo conveying streamline mentioned above is similar in structure to the first silo conveying streamline 1 and the second silo conveying streamline 5, and has the same working principle, but has different dimensions in the silo conveying direction and the silo conveying direction. The conveying streamline bracket of the third silo conveying streamline is connected to the first lifting drive device 23. The third silo conveying streamline can not only carry the silo, but also facilitate receiving the silo delivered by the first silo conveying streamline 1 and moving the silo to the second silo conveying streamline 5. When the third silo conveying streamline receives the silo from the first silo conveying streamline 1, the silo conveying direction of the third silo conveying streamline is consistent with the silo conveying direction of the first silo conveying streamline 1. When the third silo conveying streamline translates the silo to the second silo conveying streamline 5, the silo conveying direction of the third silo conveying streamline is consistent with the silo conveying direction of the second silo conveying streamline 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the carrying device 22 is provided with a stop module for stopping the material bin in place.

[0030] The above-mentioned stop module is a stop plate 24, which is arranged on the side of the carrying device 22 away from the first silo conveying streamline 1. When the silo translates to the set position on the carrying device 22, it is restricted by the stop plate 24 to continue to translate, which can prevent the silo from falling from the carrying device 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, a positioning module for positioning the silo is provided on the carrying device 22 .

[0032] The above-mentioned positioning module is a side-push clamping module, including a first positioning plate 25, a second positioning plate 26 and a side-push cylinder 27. The first positioning plate 25 and the second positioning plate 26 are respectively arranged on both sides of the moving direction of the silo on the carrying device 22. The side-push cylinder 27 drives the second positioning plate 26 to move toward the direction close to the first positioning plate 25. When the silo arrives on the carrying device 22, the side-push cylinder 27 drives the second positioning plate 26 to move toward the direction close to the first positioning plate 25 to clamp the silo. The position of the silo is fixed and will not shift on the carrying device 22, thereby ensuring that it matches the position of the tray fork picking device 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the tray conveying streamline 4 is arranged on the side of the carrying device 22 away from the first silo conveying streamline 1 , and the tray conveying direction of the tray conveying streamline 4 is the same as the silo conveying direction of the first silo conveying streamline 1 .

[0034] The silo conveying direction of the first silo conveying streamline 1 is its length direction, and the tray conveying direction of the tray conveying streamline 4 is its length direction. Setting the length of the first silo conveying streamline 1 and the length of the tray conveying streamline 4 to the same direction can reduce the footprint of the tray separating mechanism, making the tray separating machine structure more compact and the layout more reasonable.

[0035] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned tray conveying streamline 4 includes two unilateral conveying components arranged at a certain distance, and the above-mentioned two unilateral conveying components respectively support the two opposite sides of the tray, and the above-mentioned fork 32 can be translated and raised and lowered between the above-mentioned two unilateral conveying components.

[0036] The two unilateral conveying components are arranged at a distance along the first horizontal direction, and the distance between the two unilateral conveying components along the first horizontal direction is smaller than the size of the tray along the first horizontal direction, and larger than the size of the fork along the first horizontal direction, so that the fork 32 can drive the tray to fall on the two unilateral conveying components. The first silo conveying streamline, the second silo conveying streamline, and the third silo conveying streamline are similar in structure to the tray conveying streamline 4, have the same principle, and have different conveying directions and conveyed items.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second silo conveying streamline 5 is arranged directly below the first silo conveying streamline 1 , and the silo conveying direction of the first silo conveying streamline 1 is opposite to the silo conveying direction of the second silo conveying streamline 5 .

[0038] The silo conveying direction of the first silo conveying streamline 1 is its length direction, and the tray conveying direction of the second silo conveying streamline 5 is its length direction. Setting the length of the first silo conveying streamline 1 and the length of the second silo conveying streamline 5 in the same direction can reduce the footprint of the tray dividing mechanism, and the tray dividing mechanism has a more compact structure and a more reasonable layout.

[0039] In this embodiment, the tray translation direction of the tray forking device 3 is the same as the tray conveying direction of the tray conveying streamline 4 .

[0040] The moving direction of the fork 32 is consistent with the tray conveying direction of the tray conveying streamline 4. The fork 32 can be directly translated between the two single-sided conveying components. The lifting height of the fork 32 does not need to be too large, which can reduce the footprint of the tray separating mechanism, and the tray separating machine has a more compact structure and a more reasonable layout.

[0041] The following describes the tray separation method of the material bin in this embodiment. The above-mentioned tray separation mechanism is adopted, and the above-mentioned mounting arm 33 is located above the material tray conveying streamline. The above-mentioned tray separation method includes the following steps: S1.1, the first silo conveying streamline 1 drives the silo to move horizontally onto the carrying device 22, and then proceeds to step S1.2; S1.2, the translation drive device 35 drives the fork 32 to translate to below the lowest material tray on the carrying device 22, and the process proceeds to step S1.3; S1.3, the first lifting drive device 23 drives the carrying device 22 downward for a certain distance, and the bottommost material tray on the carrying device 22 falls onto the fork 32, and the process proceeds to step S1.4; S1.4, the translation drive device 35 drives the fork 32 to translate a certain distance, and the tray on the fork 32 translates to above the tray conveying streamline 4, and then proceeds to step S1.5; S1.5, the second lifting drive device 34 drives the fork 32 downward for a certain distance, and the tray on the fork 32 falls onto the tray conveying flow line 4, and the process proceeds to step S1.6; S1.6, the translation drive device 35 drives the fork 32 to translate a certain distance, and the fork 32 leaves the bottom of the tray on the tray conveying line 4, and the process proceeds to step S1.7; S1.7, the second lifting drive device 34 drives the fork 32 to move upward for a certain distance, and the fork 32 reaches above the tray on the tray conveying line 4, and then proceeds to step S1.8; S1.8, the above tray conveying streamline 4 drives the tray to move away horizontally, and enters step S1.9; S1.9, determine whether there are still material trays in the silo, if yes, go to S1.10, if not, go to S1.11; S1.10, the first lifting drive device 23 drives the carrying device 22 downward for a certain distance, and the second lifting drive device 34 drives the fork 32 downward for a certain distance, and the process returns to step S1.2; S1.11. The above-mentioned translational carrying device 22 moves the silo out to the above-mentioned second silo conveying flow line 5.

[0042] If the position of the fork 32 does not match the position of the load-bearing device 22 when it is at a high position, that is, the height of the fork 32 is not below the lowest material tray on the load-bearing device 22, it is necessary to adjust the height of the load-bearing device 22 and / or the fork 32 so that the height of the fork 32 is below the lowest material tray on the load-bearing device 22. After step S1, the lowest material tray on the load-bearing device 22 is at the first set height, before step S2, the fork 32 is at the second set height, and after step S10, the lowest material tray on the load-bearing device 22 is at the first set height, and before step S2, the fork 32 is at the second set height. Embodiment 2

[0043] The rest is the same as the first embodiment, except that the mounting arm is located below the tray conveying streamline. The tray separation method comprises the following steps: S2.1. The first silo conveying streamline drives the silo to move horizontally onto the carrying device, and then proceeds to step S2.2; S2.2, the translation drive device drives the fork to translate to below the lowest material tray on the carrying device, and the process proceeds to step S2.3; S2.3, the first lifting drive device drives the carrying device downward for a certain distance, and the bottommost material tray on the carrying device falls onto the fork, and the process proceeds to step S2.4; S2.4, the translation drive device drives the fork to translate a certain distance, and the tray on the fork translates to above the tray conveying streamline, and then proceeds to step S2.5; S2.5, the second lifting drive device drives the fork to move downward a certain distance, and the tray on the fork falls onto the tray conveying flow line, and the process goes to step S2.6; S2.6, the second lifting drive device drives the fork downward a certain distance, and the fork reaches below the tray on the tray conveying line, and the process proceeds to step S2.7; S2.7, the above tray conveying streamline drives the tray to move horizontally away, and enters step S2.8; S2.8, determine whether there are still material trays in the silo, if yes, go to S2.9, if not, go to S2.10; S2.9, the first lifting drive device drives the carrying device downward for a certain distance, and the second lifting drive device drives the fork upward for a certain distance, and the process returns to step S2.2; S2.10. The above-mentioned translational carrying device moves the silo out to the above-mentioned second silo conveying flow line.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the mounting arm is arranged below the tray conveying streamline. Therefore, after the tray falls on the tray conveying streamline, the fork can directly move downward to detach from the tray, so that the tray can be conveyed out along the tray conveying streamline. The tray separation method in the present embodiment has fewer steps and is more efficient.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the protection scope of the invention.
