Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wooden kitchenware conveying and storage technology, and more specifically, to a material conveying device for the production of wooden kitchenware. Background Technology

[0002] The production of wooden kitchenware involves a series of processing and assembly processes. Material conveying and automated warehousing play a crucial role in this process. The purpose of the conveying device is to transfer raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products between the processing line and the warehouse during the production of wooden kitchenware. It can efficiently store, retrieve and manage various materials, and ensure the smooth operation of wooden kitchenware production.

[0003] The automated warehousing conveying system includes a conveying module, a transfer module, and a storage module. When transferring materials to the storage module, the existing method involves placing materials separately according to category into boxes for transfer. This ensures that different materials are stored in a categorized manner and maintains consistency in the conveying objective. However, when the boxes transition from the conveying module to the transfer module, components with gripping functions are required. But when applied to the production of wooden kitchenware, this presents the following drawbacks:

[0004] Integrating the gripping function into the transfer module increases the complexity of the transfer module's working mechanism. It not only needs to carry the transportation of objects but also handle complex tasks such as gripping and releasing. This increases the module's burden, especially in the production of wooden kitchenware where high frequency and high efficiency are required, which can easily lead to a bottleneck in the module.

[0005] Setting the grabbing function on the transfer module will take up a lot of space. This space occupation not only affects the operation, but also requires increasing the storage interval of the warehouse, which reduces the design capacity of the warehouse accordingly.

[0006] Designing to directly grip objects on the transfer module involves mechanical contact and gripping force control. Furthermore, since the objects are suspended in the air during gripping and transfer, there is a risk of them falling, increasing the potential for operational safety hazards.

[0007] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a material conveying device for the production of wooden kitchenware that can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention provides a material conveying device for the production of wooden kitchenware, which solves the technical problem in related technologies where the integration of the sampling and collection parts interferes with the collection of highly sensitive target pollutants.

[0009] This invention provides a material conveying device for the production of wooden kitchenware, including a storage module, a conveying module, a gantry frame, and a transfer module. The storage module is provided with an aisle, the gantry frame is placed in the aisle, and the transfer module is fitted on the gantry frame. The material box loaded with the production materials of wooden kitchenware is transferred between the conveying module and the storage module through the transfer module.

[0010] The conveying module includes a belt conveyor assembly and a roller conveyor assembly. The roller conveyor assembly is connected between the end of the belt conveyor assembly and the transfer module. The roller conveyor assembly includes a base two, a guard plate two, a conveyor roller one, a conveyor roller two, a conveyor roller three, and a cylinder one. The guard plate two is symmetrically fixed on the base two. The conveyor roller one, conveyor roller two, and conveyor roller three are arranged sequentially at intervals on the guard plate two. The conveyor roller one and conveyor roller two are both designed to fully cover the bottom of the material box, and the conveyor roller three is designed to cover the bottom edge of the material box. The conveyor roller one and conveyor roller three are both self-driven. The conveyor roller two is not powered. The rotation speed of the conveyor roller three is greater than that of the conveyor roller one, and the conveyor roller three includes multiple sets of rollers. The conveyor roller one is a single roller. A cylinder one is arranged between the conveyor roller one and the conveyor roller two. The output direction of the cylinder one is vertically upward. When the material box is continuously transferred from the conveying module to the transfer module, the cylinder one lifts the material box at intervals.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the conveying module further includes a second cylinder, which is disposed on the side of the conveying roller three near the transfer module, and the output direction of the second cylinder is vertically upward. When the material box is transferred from the transfer module to the conveying module, the second cylinder pushes out to provide a transition plane.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the belt conveyor assembly includes a base, a guard plate, a motor, a shaft, a belt conveyor component 1, and a belt conveyor component 2. The base is symmetrically and fixedly provided with the guard plate, the motor is fixedly provided on the guard plate, and the shaft is rotatably provided between the guard plates. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the shaft. The two ends of the shaft are respectively fitted with the belt conveyor component 1 and the belt conveyor component 2. The belt surfaces of the belt conveyor component 1 and the belt conveyor component 2 extend towards the center relative to the guard plate 1.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the storage module includes a support, a support rod, and a support bar. The support rod is symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the support, and the support bar is fixed at equal intervals between the support rods, with the support bar protruding inward relative to the support rod to form a boss.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the transfer module includes a loading block, limiting wheels, a vertical track, a pushing component, and a tractor. A pair of limiting wheels are rotatably mounted on the top of the loading block, and the limiting wheels are in rolling contact with the top of the gantry. A vertical track is fixedly provided on one side of the loading block, and a pushing component is slidably provided on the vertical track. The pushing component is provided with a bearing part that slides horizontally. A tractor that moves linearly along the bottom of the gantry is provided at the bottom of the loading block.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the pushing assembly includes a carrier box, a second motor, a gear, a slide rail, a first slider, a toothed plate, a second slider, and an electric roller component. The second motor is fixedly installed in the carrier box, and a gear is fixedly installed on the output end of the second motor. A slide rail is symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the carrier box, and a first slider is slidably installed in the slide rail. A toothed plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first slider, and the toothed plate meshes with the gear. A second slider is slidably installed at the top of the first slider, and an electric roller component is installed on the second slider that contacts the first slider.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: a control terminal is fixedly installed on one side of the gantry frame, and the control terminal is electrically connected to the electrical structure of the conveying module and the transfer module, and issues operating commands to the conveying module and the transfer module.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: an outwardly bent guide plate is provided at the edge of the second guard plate, and the guide plate extends beyond the edge of the first base.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] In this invention, after the material box reaches the roller conveyor assembly, its conveying path is divided into three sections, corresponding to conveyor roller one, conveyor roller two, and conveyor roller three. In the first section, the conveyor rollers work together to pull the material box into the roller conveyor assembly. Relying solely on the push of the belt conveyor assembly, the transfer is easily disrupted due to the change in friction mode. In the second section, the material box still relies on the push of conveyor roller one to move forward, while conveyor roller two only serves as a support, allowing the material box to move smoothly. This not only facilitates its entry into the acceleration phase but also makes it convenient for the material box to be intermittently removed from the conveying path during continuous conveying. The third section is the acceleration path, where conveyor roller three rotates at high speed, transferring the material box to the transfer module in an ejection form at its tail end.

[0020] This invention, by incorporating an acceleration function in the conveying module, ensures that objects detach from the conveyor belt and enter the transfer module at a high speed. This reduces the time it takes for objects to transition from one stage to the next, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0021] In this invention, the transfer module no longer needs to be adapted for grasping actions, which means that the required movement area can be smaller, that is, the warehouse aisles can be narrower, the warehouse storage intervals can be smaller, and the effective capacity of the warehouse can be greatly improved.

[0022] This invention accelerates the detachment of objects from the conveying module, avoiding direct contact with the transfer module and thus reducing the risk of mechanical failure. Especially in large-scale material transportation, the transfer module only needs to handle relatively simple operations such as receiving and transferring, reducing the possibility of object damage or system failure caused by improper gripping.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-6 A material conveying device for the production of wooden kitchenware includes a storage module 1, a conveying module 2, a gantry frame 3 and a transfer module 4. The storage module 1 is provided with an aisle, the gantry frame 3 is placed in the aisle, and the transfer module 4 is fitted on the gantry frame 3. The material box loaded with the production materials of wooden kitchenware is transferred between the conveying module 2 and the storage module 1 through the transfer module 4.

[0032] Conveying module 2 includes a belt conveyor assembly 21 and a roller conveyor assembly 22. The roller conveyor assembly 22 is connected between the end of the belt conveyor assembly 21 and the transfer module 4. The roller conveyor assembly 22 includes a base 221, a guard plate 222, a first conveyor roller 223, a second conveyor roller 224, a third conveyor roller 225, and a cylinder 226. The guard plate 222 is symmetrically fixed on the base 221. The edge of the guard plate 222 has an outwardly bent guide plate, and the guide plate extends beyond the edge of the base 211. The guard plate 222 is sequentially and spaced apart from the first conveyor roller 223, the second conveyor roller 224, and the third conveyor roller 225. 3 and conveyor roller 224 are both designed to fully cover the bottom of the material box, while conveyor roller 325 is designed to cover the bottom edge of the material box. Conveyor roller 1 223 and conveyor roller 3 225 are both self-driven and rotate. Conveyor roller 224 is not powered. The rotation speed of conveyor roller 3 225 is greater than that of conveyor roller 1 223. Conveyor roller 3 225 includes multiple sets of rollers. Conveyor roller 1 223 is a single roller. A cylinder 1 226 is provided between conveyor roller 1 223 and conveyor roller 224. The output direction of cylinder 1 226 is vertically upward. When the material box is continuously transferred from conveyor module 2 to transfer module 4, cylinder 1 226 lifts the material box at intervals.

[0033] When transferring materials (bins) from conveying module 2 to transfer module 4, unlike the gripping and transferring action of a transmission system, this invention achieves this by accelerating the detachment of the bin through conveying module 2. Specifically:

[0034] In conveying module 2, the hopper first moves linearly to roller conveying assembly 22 via belt conveyor assembly 21. At this time, the hopper is conveyed at a low speed. After the hopper reaches roller conveying assembly 22, its conveying path is divided into three sections, corresponding to conveyor roller 1 223, conveyor roller 224 and conveyor roller 3 225. In the first section, conveyor roller 1 223 plays the role of pulling the hopper into roller conveying assembly 22. Relying solely on the push of belt conveyor assembly 21, the transfer is easily disrupted due to the change in friction mode. In the second section, the hopper still moves by the push of conveyor roller 1 223, while conveyor roller 2 224 only serves as a support, allowing the hopper to move smoothly. This not only facilitates its entry into the acceleration stage but also makes it convenient for the hopper to be intermittently removed from the conveying path during continuous conveying. The third section is the acceleration path, where conveyor roller 3 225 rotates at high speed, transferring the hopper to transfer module 4 in an ejected form at its tail end.

[0035] When this transfer method is applied to the production of wooden kitchenware, it has the following advantages:

[0036] 1. Efficiency Improvement: By setting an acceleration function in the conveyor module 2, it can be ensured that the objects are removed from the conveyor belt and enter the transfer module 4 at a high speed. This method can reduce the time for objects to transition from one stage to the next stage and improve the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0037] 2. Space saving: The transfer module 4 no longer needs to be adapted for grabbing actions, which means that the required movement area can be smaller, that is, the warehouse aisles can be narrower, the warehouse storage intervals can be smaller, and the effective capacity of the warehouse can be greatly improved.

[0038] III. Operational Safety: Accelerating the detachment of objects on the conveying module 2 can avoid direct contact with the transfer module 4, thereby reducing the risk of mechanical failure. Especially in large-scale material transportation, the transfer module 4 only needs to handle relatively simple operations such as receiving and transferring, reducing the possibility of object damage or system failure caused by improper gripping.

[0039] In the actual continuous conveying process, multiple boxes will enter the conveying path together. When the front box is completely in the conveying area of ​​conveyor roller 325, the front end of the rear box will also partially touch conveyor roller 325. At this time, cylinder 126 can be used to push the rear box out of the conveying path and slow down its conveying speed. Firstly, this can prevent the rear box from detaching from conveyor roller 325 just as the front box enters the transfer module, which could easily cause a collision. Secondly, it can ensure that conveyor roller 325 always maintains a relatively constant conveying load (accelerating the conveying of only one box), preventing the front box from not getting enough acceleration due to the increased load and not being able to be completely transferred to transfer module 4.

[0040] The conveying module 2 also includes a second cylinder 227, which is located on the side of the conveying roller 3 225 near the transfer module 4. The output direction of the second cylinder 227 is vertically upward. When the material box is transferred from the transfer module 4 to the conveying module 2, the second cylinder 227 pushes out to provide a transition plane.

[0041] Cylinder 227 can provide a transition during the reverse process. When the material box is transferred from the transfer module 4 to the conveying module 2, cylinder 227 first lifts up until its bearing section is higher than conveying roller 325. In this way, the transfer module 4 connects to cylinder 227, which is horizontally upward and stationary, rather than conveying roller 325, which is rotating. This can effectively prevent slippage and make the process more stable.

[0042] The belt conveyor assembly 21 includes a base 211, a guard plate 212, a motor 213, a shaft 214, a belt conveyor 215, and a belt conveyor 216. The guard plate 212 is symmetrically fixed on the base 211. The motor 213 is fixed on the guard plate 212. The shaft 214 is rotatably arranged between the guard plates 212. The output end of the motor 213 is fixedly connected to the shaft 214. The two ends of the shaft 214 are respectively fitted with the belt conveyor 215 and the belt conveyor 216. The belt surfaces of the belt conveyor 215 and the belt conveyor 216 extend towards the center relative to the guard plate 212.

[0043] In the belt conveyor, the motor 213 drives the rotating shaft 214 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 214 then drives the belt conveyor 215 and the belt conveyor 216 to run. The material box is placed on the part of the belt surface of the belt conveyor 215 and the belt conveyor 216 that extends towards the center relative to the guard plate 212, and moves horizontally at a uniform speed.

[0044] It should be noted that belt conveyor component 1 215 and belt conveyor component 2 216 are existing belt conveyor forms, and their corresponding structures will not be described in detail.

[0045] The storage module 1 includes a support 10, a support rod 11 and a support bar 12. The support rod 11 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the support 10, and the support bar 12 is fixed at equal intervals between the support rods 11, with the support bar 12 protruding inward relative to the support rod 11 to form a boss.

[0046] Each boss and support rod 11 form a storage space for placing the material box.

[0047] The transfer module 4 includes a loading block 41, limiting wheels 42, a vertical rail 43, a pushing component 44, and a tractor 45. A pair of limiting wheels 42 are rotatably mounted on the top of the loading block 41, and the limiting wheels 42 roll in contact with the top of the gantry 3. A vertical rail 43 is fixedly installed on one side of the loading block 41, and a pushing component 44 is slidably installed on the vertical rail 43. A bearing part that slides horizontally is provided on the pushing component 44. A tractor 45 that moves linearly along the bottom of the gantry 3 is provided at the bottom of the loading block 41.

[0048] In the transfer module 4, after the material box is transferred to the pushing component 44, the tractor 45 is first controlled to move the whole thing to the storage space in the storage module 1 where the material box is to be stored, so as to adjust the horizontal position. Then the pushing component 44 is slid relative to the vertical track 43 (the power source is omitted here, and a linear drive method is applicable) to adjust the vertical position. Finally, the material box is placed into the storage space by the pushing component 44.

[0049] The pushing assembly 44 includes a carrier box 441, a second motor 442, a gear 443, a slide rail 444, a first slider 445, a toothed plate 446, a second slider 447, and an electric roller component 448. The second motor 442 is fixedly installed in the carrier box 441, and a gear 443 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second motor 442. The slide rail 444 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the carrier box 441, and the first slider 445 is slidably installed in the slide rail 444. The toothed plate 446 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first slider 445 and meshes with the gear 443. The second slider 447 is slidably installed at the top of the first slider 445, and an electric roller component 448 is installed on the second slider 447 to contact the first slider 445.

[0050] The function of the pushing component 44 in separating the material box from the storage space is as follows: First, the material box pushed out by the conveying module 2 will fall onto the second slider 447. After aligning the material box with the storage space, the second motor 442 drives the gear 443 to rotate. The toothed plate 446 meshes with the gear 443, driving the first slider 445 to slide into the storage space. Once the first slider 445 is aligned with the edge of the carrier box 441, the electric roller component 448 drives the second slider 447 to carry the material box into the storage space. Then, the entire pushing component is moved down, thus completing the separation of the material box from the second slider 447.

[0051] A control terminal 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the gantry frame 3. The control terminal 5 is electrically connected to the electrical structure of the conveying module 2 and the transfer module 4, and issues operating commands to the conveying module 2 and the transfer module 4.

[0052] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
