Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of hanging conveying systems, and particularly relates to a hanging conveying system and a hanging conveying line. Background Art

[0002] Hanging conveying systems are used in production enterprises such as clothing, home textiles, and home furnishings for material conveying, intelligent control, and intelligent distribution, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN2012101647857 discloses "an intelligent production hanging system and control method", which includes multiple hanging lines. Each hanging line includes a main rail, a driving mechanism, and multiple push rods for pushing the material rack. When workstations are set on the hanging line, the hanging line becomes a hanging production line, generally including at least two or more workstations; when no workstations are set on the hanging line, the hanging line becomes a hanging storage line; one hanging line can be bridged with other hanging lines through a bridging mechanism, and the hanging line bridged with at least two other hanging lines becomes a hanging bridge connection line.

[0004] In the existing hanging system, workstations are all set outside the main rail, and the hanging lines are connected by a bridging mechanism. Since the workstations are set outside, the bridging mechanism necessarily occupies the position of the workstations, and the inner side of the hanging line is not effectively utilized; in addition, since the workstations are set outside the main rail, the bridging mechanism connecting the two hanging lines is relatively long, and rapid transfer between the two hanging lines cannot be achieved. In addition, the existing hanging line designs strive to make the distance between the two main rails of the annular hanging line very small to save space. This design brings many problems. For example, to solve the problem of the end turning radius, the utility model patent with application number 201720606520.6 designs an 8-shaped track. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the defects and inherent design misunderstandings of the prior art, this application provides a hanging conveying line, in which the workstations are set inside the hanging line, the bridging between the two hanging lines is short, and carriers such as hangers can be rapidly transferred. With the workstations set inside, the bridging mechanism does not occupy the position of the workstations, the structural layout is more compact and reasonable, and the site utilization rate is higher.

[0006] The hanging conveying system provided by this application includes multiple hanging lines and workstations. The hanging lines are annular, the workstations are set inside the hanging lines, and adjacent hanging lines are connected by a bridging mechanism or a bridging hanging line.

[0007] Preferably, one or more of the hanging lines are in a figure-eight shape, that is, the hanging line includes inner and outer sub-hanging lines, where the inner sub-hanging line is located inside the outer sub-hanging line, the inner sub-hanging line is connected to the outer sub-hanging line, and the workstations are set between the inner and outer sub-hanging lines.

[0008] Preferably, one end of at least one workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line, and the other end of the workstation is connected to the outer sub-hanging line to realize the connection between the inner and outer sub-hanging lines.

[0009] Preferably, the entry of at least one workstation is connected to the outer sub-hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line; the entry of at least one workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the corresponding side of the outer sub-hanging line. The inner sub-hanging line and the outer sub-hanging line are connected through the workstation, so that carriers such as hangers can flow between the inner and outer sub-hanging lines.

[0010] Preferably, the entry of at least one workstation is connected to one side of the hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the other side of the hanging line.

[0011] Preferably, the hanging conveying system is divided into multiple areas, each area includes one or more hanging lines, and adjacent areas are connected by bridging hanging lines.

[0012] Preferably, four adjacent areas are connected by a cross-shaped bridging hanging line.

[0013] The present application also provides a hanging conveying line, including a hanging line and workstations. The hanging line is annular, and the workstations are arranged inside the hanging line.

[0014] Preferably, the hanging line is in a figure-eight shape, that is, the hanging line includes inner and outer sub-hanging lines, where the inner sub-hanging line is located inside the outer sub-hanging line, the inner sub-hanging line is connected to the outer sub-hanging line, and the workstations are arranged between the inner and outer sub-hanging lines.

[0015] Preferably, one end of at least one workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line, and the other end of the workstation is connected to the outer sub-hanging line.

[0016] Preferably, the entry of at least one workstation is connected to the outer sub-hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line; the entry of at least one workstation is connected to the inner sub-hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the corresponding side of the outer sub-hanging line.

[0017] Preferably, the entry of at least one workstation is connected to one side of the hanging line, and the exit of the workstation is connected to the other side of the hanging line.

[0018] A workstation is arranged inside the hanging line of the present application, and the connection between lines is realized through a bridging mechanism on the outside. The bridging mechanism does not occupy the position of the workstation. Both the inside and outside of the hanging line are utilized, and the structural layout is more compact and reasonable, with higher site utilization rate. The workstation is located inside the circular hanging line, and the bridging mechanism is short, enabling quick transfer of carriers such as hangers. One hanging line can be classified into a group, and multiple hanging lines form a region. The regions are connected by bridging hanging lines, thereby achieving quick transfer between groups, between a group and a region, and between regions; by adopting grouped processing, the same or similar processes can be classified into a group, so as to adapt to the quick combination of different processes across groups generated by single-piece customization (small batch) of different types of clothing, and multi-path selection and comparison can be realized to select the optimal path.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the hanging conveying system includes a hanging line 1. The hanging line 1 is circular, and a workstation is arranged inside the hanging line 1. The workstation can be a "U"-shaped workstation 2, or a linear workstation 8, or there can be both a "U"-shaped workstation and a linear workstation. There can be multiple hanging lines 1, and the optimal number of workstations for each hanging line is 4 - 10. The structure of the workstation is prior art and will not be elaborated here. As Figure 1As shown, both the inbound and outbound of the U-shaped workstation 2 are connected to one side of the hanging line 1. The inbound of the straight-line workstation 8 is connected to one side of the hanging line, and the outbound is connected to the other side of the hanging line. The connection structures of the inbound and outbound are both prior arts, generally using a lapping connection, which is connected when entering or leaving the station and disconnected when not needed.

[0028] The hanging line 1 is connected to the hanging line 1 through the bridging structure 3. Two bridging structures are provided between the hanging lines to achieve shuttling back and forth between the hanging lines. The structure of the bridging mechanism 3 is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] One hanging line 1 can form a group, and multiple hanging lines 1 form a region. Bridging hanging lines 4 are provided between regions. The hanging lines 1 within the region are connected to the bridging hanging lines 4 through the bridging mechanism 3. As Figure 2 shown, 4 regions are shown in the figure. In addition to region A and region B, there is also a region at each end. The hanging lines within region A and region B are connected through the bridging mechanism. A bridging hanging line 4 is provided between region A and region B. Region A and region B are respectively connected to the bridging hanging line through the bridging mechanism. The left-end region is respectively connected to region A and region B through the bridging mechanism. A bridging hanging line is provided between the right-end region and region A and region B. The right-end region, region A, and region B are respectively connected to the bridging hanging line through the bridging mechanism. Figure 2 The bridging hanging line 4 shown in the figure is in a straight line. The left-end region can be used as a hanging region for cut pieces, and the right-end region can be used as an inspection and packaging region. The bridging hanging lines between the right-end region and regions A and B can be used as a storage line to store finished products. If region A and region B themselves include many hanging lines and are a large region, bridging hanging lines can also be provided within the region.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, 4 regions are shown, namely region A, B, C, and D. The bridging hanging line 4 is in a cross shape, and the 4 regions are connected by the cross-shaped bridging hanging line. Similarly, in Figure 3 the hanging system shown can also be provided with the left-end region and the right-end region as shown in Figure 2 the figure, which can be directly connected through the bridging mechanism or connected by setting bridging hanging lines.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the hanging conveying system includes a double-loop hanging line 5, which is formed by nesting two hanging lines, that is, the inner sub-hanging line 6 is located inside the outer sub-hanging line, in the shape of a "double-loop", and the inner sub-hanging line 6 is connected to the outer sub-hanging line 7. Inside the double-loop hanging line 5, that is, between the inner sub-hanging line 6 and the outer sub-hanging line 7, workstations are arranged. The workstations include a "U"-shaped workstation 2 and a linear workstation 8. There can be multiple double-loop hanging lines 5, and the optimal number of workstations for each double-loop hanging line 5 is 10 - 20. The structure of the workstations is prior art and will not be elaborated here. As Figure 4 shown, both the inlet and outlet of the "U"-shaped workstation 2 are connected to the same sub-hanging line. In the figure, the shown "U"-shaped workstations are connected to both the inner sub-hanging line and the outer sub-hanging line. The inlet of the linear workstation 8 is connected to one sub-hanging line, and the outlet is connected to another sub-hanging line. As Figure 4 shown in the upper right corner of the figure, the inlet of the linear workstation 8 is connected to the outer sub-hanging line, and the outlet is connected to the inner sub-hanging line. The inlet and outlet connections of the linear workstation in the upper left corner are exactly the opposite; the inlet of the linear workstation in the lower right corner is connected to the inner sub-hanging line, and the outlet is connected to the outer sub-hanging line. The inlet and outlet connections of the linear workstation in the lower left corner are exactly the opposite. Load carriers such as clothes hangers can be transferred between the inner and outer sub-hanging lines. The connection structures of the inlet and outlet are prior art, generally using a lap joint connection, which is connected when entering or leaving the station and disconnected when not needed.

[0033] The double-loop hanging line 5 is connected to the double-loop hanging line 5 through a bridging structure 3. Two bridging structures are arranged between the hanging lines to achieve shuttling back and forth between the hanging lines.

[0034] Multiple double-loop hanging lines 5 form a region. A bridging hanging line 4 is arranged between the regions. The double-loop hanging lines 5 within the region are connected to the bridging hanging line 4 through a bridging mechanism 3.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown, region A and region B each have 2 double-loop hanging lines, and the 2 double-loop hanging lines are connected through a bridging mechanism. A bridging hanging line 4 is arranged between region A and region B, and the bridging hanging line 4 is linear. As Figure 6 shown, region A, B, C, and D each have 4 double-loop hanging lines, and the 4 double-loop hanging lines are connected through a bridging mechanism. A bridging hanging line 4 is arranged between region A, B, C, and D, and the bridging hanging line 4 is cross-shaped, using a cross-shaped bridging hanging line to connect the 4 regions.

[0036] It can be foreseen that in this embodiment, the left end region and the right end region can also be arranged as shown in Embodiment Figure 2 shown.

[0037] Figure 5 shown, the structure can also be the same asFigure 6 The structures shown are connected, that is, a bridging suspension line is arranged between the two, Figure 5 , Figure 6 the structures shown are respectively connected to the bridging suspension line through a bridging mechanism. Similarly, in Embodiment 1 Figure 2 , Figure 3 the structures shown can also be connected by a bridging suspension line.
