Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of component logistics transfer, and particularly relates to an equipment and method for long-distance transfer of multiple types of components, automatic empty-full exchange of parallel docking, and automatic supply system of components. Background Art

[0002] In the existing production logistics operation mode, the long-distance transfer of multiple types of components basically relies on logistics operators driving tractors to tow component trolley chains for transfer. For each component trolley, logistics operators need to perform empty-full exchange operations one by one. Component installation operators also need to bend down to pick up components from the component trolleys for installation. The entire operation mode has a low degree of automation, and basically depends on operators to complete. The labor cost is relatively high, and the operation intensity of operators is relatively large. At the same time, there are also relatively large safety hazards.

[0003] 1. In the link of long-distance transfer of multiple types of components, operators need to frequently perform long-distance towing and transfer operations, with a large operation intensity and long operation time. Such long-term and repetitive towing and transfer operations seriously consume the costs of manpower and time. At the same time, they also greatly limit the improvement of productivity. Moreover, a large number of towing component trolley chains circulate and operate in the production site, and there are also situations of vehicle-vehicle cross-operation and vehicle-person cross-operation, which will pose great safety hazards.

[0004] 2. In the link of performing empty-full exchange operations for each component trolley one by one, the handling intensity of operators pushing and hooking the trolleys is particularly heavy. Workers endure a cumulative handling weight of up to 6.5 tons per day, which is equivalent to a weight of 130 kilograms per cycle operation, and a total of 50 handling operations per day. This not only aggravates the physiological burden of workers, increases the risk of work-related injuries, but also hides potential long-term occupational diseases such as musculoskeletal system diseases. Such severe working conditions are obviously not conducive to protecting the occupational health of employees. At the same time, due to human factors, problems such as unstable product quality and uncontrollable production cycle will also occur.

[0005] 3. In the operation link where component installation operators bend down to pick up components from the component trolleys for installation, operators need to pick up components from different component trolleys multiple times for installation, and there are forced operations such as bending down and kneeling. Long-term operations carry the risk of occupational diseases. Moreover, multiple component trolleys placed on the line side occupy a relatively large site space, resulting in waste of site and increased production costs. And the layout on the line side is chaotic, and there will also be certain safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0034] When the return hook chute is at the lowest position, it is docked with the full part hook receiving chute. The full part hooks in the full part hook receiving chute enter the return hook chute, are lifted to the operator's operation height by the empty-full exchange cylinder.

[0045] The third object of the present invention is to provide an operation method for a device that can perform long-distance transfer of multiple types of parts, automatic empty-full exchange in parallel docking, and automatic supply of parts, including the following steps:

[0046] S1. When the specified number of parts are placed in the part sub-packaging empty-full exchange slide assembly, the part docking transfer trolley assembly automatically travels to the part sub-packaging empty-full exchange slide assembly through the transfer trolley for docking empty-full exchange operations. The part docking transfer trolley assembly achieves precise docking with the part sub-packaging empty-full exchange slide assembly through the docking mechanism and locks the position of the part docking transfer trolley assembly through the limit fixture. The first charging pile extends to charge the transfer trolley;

[0047] S2. After being detected by the first photoelectric switch combination on the part sub-packaging empty-full exchange slide assembly, the first stop mechanism controls the opening of the full part supply slide. The full parts in the full part supply slide are docked into the full part transfer slide. After the full part docking is completed, the first stop mechanism controls the closing of the full part supply slide; meanwhile, the fourth stop mechanism controls the opening of the empty part transfer slide. The empty parts in the empty part transfer slide enter the empty part receiving slide. After the empty part docking is completed, the fourth stop mechanism controls the closing of the empty part transfer slide, and the empty-full exchange operation is completed;

[0048] S3. After being detected by the second photoelectric switch combination on the part docking transfer trolley assembly that the transfer is completed, the first charging pile retracts, the limit fixture unlocks the part docking transfer trolley assembly, and when the automatic operation condition of the transfer trolley is satisfied, it pulls the part docking transfer trolley assembly to automatically transfer the parts to the part empty-full exchange automatic supply hook assembly;

[0049] S4. When the part docking transfer trolley assembly travels to the part empty-full exchange automatic supply hook assembly, the part docking transfer trolley assembly achieves precise docking with the part empty-full exchange automatic supply hook assembly through the docking mechanism and locks the position of the part docking transfer trolley assembly through the limit cylinder fixture of the limit cylinder fixture. The second charging pile extends to charge the transfer trolley;

[0050] S5. After being detected by the detection proximity switch combination on the part empty-full exchange automatic supply hook assembly, the fifth stop mechanism controls the locking of the hook, and the empty-full exchange operation of the parts starts. The third stop mechanism controls the opening of the full part transfer slide. The full parts in the full part transfer slide are docked into the full part receiving slide. After the full part docking is completed, the third stop mechanism controls the closing of the full part transfer slide; meanwhile, the second stop mechanism controls the opening of the empty part supply slide. The empty parts in the empty part supply slide are docked into the empty part transfer slide. After the empty part docking is completed, the second stop mechanism controls the closing of the empty part supply slide, and the empty-full exchange operation is completed;

[0051] S6. The automatic return mechanism of the component automatic supply hook starts the automatic return hook operation. At this time, the fifth stop mechanism controls the unlocking of the hook, the charging head of the second charging pile retracts, the limit cylinder fixture unlocks, and the component docking and transfer trolley assembly travels towards the component sub-assembly empty / full exchange slide assembly. The empty / full exchange operation executes steps S1 - S5, and the automatic return hook operation executes step S7;

[0052] S7. During the automatic return hook operation, the hook with components on the full-component hook receiving slide first enters the return hook slide. Then, the empty / full exchange cylinder rises and stops at the height that is most convenient for the operator to pick up the components. After the operator takes away the components, the empty hook is put into the empty-component hook supply slide. At the same time, after the operator takes away the components inside the logistics box on the full-component logistics box receiving slide and puts the empty logistics box into the empty-component logistics box supply slide, waiting for the next cycle operation.

[0053] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention replaces the manual tractor trolley chain transfer with the long-distance automatic transfer of multiple types of components, optimizing the waste of labor and greatly improving work efficiency. At the same time, it also eliminates a large number of potential safety hazards. The lateral parallel docking component automatic empty / full exchange completely eliminates the waste of labor in the empty / full trolley exchange, which is both efficient and safe, helping to improve the production capacity and quality stability of the entire production line. Moreover, the automatic docking occupies less space and has a low input cost. The component automatic supply and the automatic return mechanism of the component hook eliminate the strenuous operation of the operator bending down multiple times to pick up components, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator and eliminating the risk of occupational diseases.

[0054] In addition, as the creative auxiliary evidence of the present invention, it is also reflected in the following important aspects:

[0055] 1. The technical solution of the present invention has been transformed and applied in the long-distance transfer operation links of multiple types of components in this unit, saving equipment rental costs of 46,000 yuan / year and saving at least two operators (the operator cost is 250,000 yuan / year). In total, each set of equipment saves at least 546,000 yuan / year. In the future, this unit will also put this technical solution into production and sales. According to the development trend of the domestic and international production logistics industry, it is expected to obtain very considerable benefits from future production and sales, with broad commercial value and application prospects.

[0056] 2. The present invention solves the technical problems in the existing production logistics operation mode, where the long-distance transfer of multiple types of components basically relies on logistics operators driving tractors to tow component trolley chains for transfer. Each component trolley requires the logistics operator to perform the empty / full exchange operation one by one, and the component installation operator also needs to bend down to pick up components from the component trolley for installation. The entire operation mode has a low degree of automation, is basically completed by operators, has a relatively high personnel cost, and the operation intensity of the operator is relatively large, with potential safety hazards.

[0057] 3. In the technical solution of the present invention, the docking precision adjustment mechanism in the component sub-packaging empty-full exchange slideway assembly corrects the inherent errors generated in the automatic handling operation through the principle of mechanical structure, overcoming the prejudice that any form of automatic handling robot in the field of automatic component transfer, especially in the transfer system of automatic handling robots, must have running precision errors and can only be compensated by complex electric control mechanical equipment.
