Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of buffer glove feeding, and specifically relates to a buffer glove feeding system and a feeding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the glove production industry, due to factors such as quality inspection, order scheduling, and packaging requirements, the gloves produced may not be immediately packaged after being stacked, but are temporarily stored. Based on the requirement of dust-proof storage, the storage container for buffer gloves usually has a single-opening design, and the space is relatively enclosed. Gloves can only be placed or taken through the single opening. The stored gloves can be grabbed and placed into the storage container by a grasping manipulator. However, when the gloves are taken out for feeding, due to the limitations of the storage container structure, it is impossible to directly use a grasping manipulator for automated grasping operations, which increases the difficulty of glove feeding automation. Currently, it can only rely on manual operation, resulting in extremely low automation and high labor intensity for workers.

[0003] Moreover, the gloves are neatly stacked in the buffer cartridge. When manually discharging, it is necessary to always take into account the integrity of the stack, which further reduces the discharging efficiency. In addition, due to the large number of manual participation links, the gloves are extremely likely to be displaced or scattered during the discharging process. This not only destroys the neat stacking of the gloves, but also breaks the dust-proof storage environment, introducing dust and other impurities, seriously affecting the quality of the gloves, making it difficult to meet the market demand for high-quality products, and at the same time restricting the improvement of the enterprise production efficiency and cost control.

The empty buffer cartridge 2 falls into the recycling box to complete the recycling operation. The empty buffer cartridge 2 after feeding can also be removed from the conveying mechanism 7 by an existing handling robot or manually.

[0051] When the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps the buffer cartridge 2 or the transfer frame 3 and moves it into or out of the conveying mechanism 7, if the conveying mechanism 7 is stationary, friction will occur between the bottom of the buffer cartridge 2 or the transfer frame 3 and the conveying mechanism 7, affecting the service life. Therefore, when the translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to move into or out of the conveying mechanism 7, the conveying mechanism 7 and the translation mechanism 8 operate synchronously.

[0052] After the gloves are loaded into the transfer frame 3, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps the transfer frame 3 on the conveying mechanism 7, moves it out of the conveying mechanism 7 and flips it so that the frame opening faces downward. The translation mechanism 8 moves back above the conveying mechanism 7 again and cooperates with the movement of the conveying mechanism 7 to perform the feeding operation on the next buffer cartridge 2.

[0053] Embodiment 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, it is set that the buffer cartridge 2 can be buckled into the transfer frame 3 to realize the matching of the transfer frame 3 and the buffer cartridge 2. Gloves are stacked and stored in the buffer cartridge 2.

[0054] A number of convex pressing strips 302 are provided on the frame strip 301 at the bottom of the transfer frame 3. The convex pressing strips 302 correspond to the frame strip 301 one by one, and the buffer cartridge 2 can be buckled into the transfer frame 3 (as Figure 7 shown).

[0055] When the buffer cartridge 2 is buckled into the transfer frame 3, the convex pressing strip 302 presses against the gloves; the convex pressing strip 302 is used to press the gloves tightly to ensure the neatness of the stacked gloves during flipping.

[0056] A number of ventilation holes 205 are provided on the bottom plate 201; the ventilation holes 205 are provided to prevent the gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 from being adsorbed on the bottom plate 201 due to the formation of negative pressure between the bottom plate 201 of the cartridge and the gloves when the air in the buffer cartridge 2 is discharged when the gloves are flipped into the transfer frame 3.

[0057] In this embodiment, an auxiliary mechanism 5 is provided. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 is higher than the height of the buffer cartridge 2 or the transfer frame 3 on the conveying mechanism 7. The auxiliary mechanism 5 is used to assist the buffer cartridge 2 and / or the transfer frame 3 to enter or leave the flipping and clamping mechanism 4.

[0058] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism 5 can use an auxiliary telescopic cylinder that can be telescoped up and down. The fixed ends of the two telescopic devices 402 of each clamping assembly are respectively fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of an auxiliary telescopic cylinder. The two auxiliary telescopic cylinders in the same clamping assembly are arranged back to back. The fixed ends of the auxiliary telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed on the connecting plate 403, and the corresponding telescopic devices 402 are driven by the auxiliary telescopic cylinders to move up and down without interfering with each other.

[0059] The feeding process of this embodiment is as follows: The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps and flips the transfer frame 3 so that the frame opening faces downward. The buffer cartridge 2 is conveyed one by one through the conveying mechanism 7. The translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to move above the buffer cartridge 2 so that the buffer cartridge 2 corresponds to the transfer frame 3. The auxiliary telescopic cylinder drives the lower telescopic device 402 to move down to the end of the buffer cartridge 2. Then the telescopic device 402 extends to clamp and fix the buffer cartridge 2. Then the auxiliary telescopic cylinder drives the telescopic device 402 to retract and move up to buckle the buffer cartridge 2 into the upper transfer frame 3. After the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 flips the buffer cartridge 2 and the transfer frame 3, the lower auxiliary telescopic cylinder drives the lower telescopic device 402 to move down to place the transfer frame 3 on the conveying device 702. The conveying device 702 pauses, and the translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to move out above the conveying mechanism 7 to release the empty buffer cartridge 2 so that it falls into the recycling bin. At the same time, the transfer manipulator 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3 for feeding operation. Subsequently, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves above the transfer frame 3, grabs the transfer frame 3 and flips it. The conveying device 702 continues to operate, and the next buffer cartridge 2 containing gloves corresponds to the transfer frame 3 for clamping, flipping and feeding operation.

[0060] This embodiment reduces the number of back-and-forth movements of the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 in Embodiment 1, and at the same time avoids the friction between the buffer cartridge 2 or the transfer frame 3 and the conveying mechanism 7, ensuring the service life of the conveying mechanism 7.

[0061] Embodiment 3 The difference from Embodiment 2 is that this embodiment also sets a tray 1, and a plurality of buffer cartridges 2 are placed in the tray 1. The buffer cartridges 2 are stored in the tray 1, which can achieve more reasonable space utilization. The tray 1 is conveyed through the conveying mechanism 7, so as to realize the conveying operation of the buffer cartridges 2 in the tray 1.

[0062] The auxiliary mechanism 5 is used to lift the transfer frame 3 and / or the buffer cartridges 2 in the tray 1. Correspondingly, the tray 1 is provided with an avoidance structure for the auxiliary mechanism 5 to pass through.

[0063] Correspondingly, this embodiment also sets a position sensor for sensing the position of the tray 1.

[0064] Reference Figure 8 Figure 8 , the auxiliary mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a lifting and shuttling assembly, and the lifting and shuttling assembly is located below the conveying device 702; The lifting and shuttling assembly includes a shuttling driving device 507, the shuttling driving device 507 is connected with a shuttling lifting member 501, a shuttling space for the shuttling lifting member 501 to pass through is left on the conveying device 702, and the shuttling driving device 507 drives the shuttling lifting member 501 to pass through the shuttling space of the conveying device 702 to lift and support the bottom of the buffer cartridge 2 or the bottom of the transfer frame 3. The conveying device 702 can adopt a roller conveyor, and the shuttling lifting member 501 passes through the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor (i.e., the shuttling space). The conveying device 702 can also adopt two parallel conveyor belts, and the two conveyor belts lift and convey both ends of the pallet 1, and a shuttling space for the operation of the auxiliary mechanism 5 is formed between the two conveyor belts. The conveying device 702 can also be other existing conveying equipment that can cooperate with the auxiliary mechanism 5. The avoidance structure on the pallet 1 is arranged corresponding to the shuttling lifting member 501, and the shuttling lifting member 501 passes through the avoidance structure on the pallet 1 to lift the buffer cartridge 2 in the pallet 1.

[0065] The shuttling lifting member 501 can be a rod. Correspondingly, lifting grooves are arranged at the bottoms of the buffer cartridge 2 and the transfer frame 3, and the top of the telescopic rod is inserted into the lifting groove. The shuttling driving device 507 can adopt a telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic end of the shuttling driving device 507 is connected with the rod. Then the avoidance structure of the pallet 1 can be a through hole arranged corresponding to the rod, and the rod passes through the through hole to lift the buffer cartridge 2 in the pallet 1. An electric telescopic rod can also be directly adopted to realize lifting or retraction.

[0066] The shuttling lifting member 501 can also be a plate member. Then the avoidance structure of the pallet 1 can be a notch corresponding to the shuttling plate, and the shuttling driving device 507 controls the plate member thereon to pass through the notch to lift and support the buffer cartridge 2 in the pallet 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, the pallet 1 can be moved onto the conveying mechanism 7 or the pallet 1 after feeding is completed can be moved away from the conveying mechanism 7 by existing handling devices such as a handling robot or a forklift.

[0068] The feeding process in this embodiment is as follows: The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps and flips the transfer frame 3 to make its frame opening face downward; The pallet 1 is placed on the conveying mechanism 7 for conveying. When one of the buffer cartridges 2 in the pallet 1 corresponds to the auxiliary mechanism 5, the conveying mechanism 7 stops, and the translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to clamp the transfer frame 3 and move it to the upper part of the buffer cartridge 2 corresponding to the auxiliary mechanism 5, that is, the correspondence between the buffer cartridge 2 and the transfer frame 3 is realized; The lifting and shuttling assembly lifts the corresponding buffer cartridge 2 in the tray 1 and snaps it into the transfer frame 3, and the flipped clamping mechanism 4 clamps and fixes the snapped buffer cartridge 2. The lifting and shuttling assembly retracts to avoid interfering with the flipping operation of the flipped clamping mechanism 4. The flipped clamping mechanism 4 flips again, and the gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 are poured into the transfer frame 3.

[0069] The lifting and shuttling assembly lifts to support the transfer frame 3. The flipped clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer frame 3, and the transfer frame 3 is supported by the lifting and shuttling assembly. The translation mechanism 8 drives the flipped clamping mechanism 4 to move away from above the transfer frame 3, and the transfer manipulator 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3 for transfer and feeding operations.

[0070] The flipped clamping mechanism 4 moves back and cooperates with the lifting and shuttling assembly to clamp and flip the transfer frame 3. At this time, the opening of the transfer frame 3 faces downward. Then the flipped clamping mechanism 4 releases the empty buffer cartridge 2, and the empty buffer cartridge 2 is supported by the lifting and shuttling assembly. The lifting and shuttling assembly drives the empty buffer cartridge 2 to fall back into the tray 1. The conveying mechanism 7 drives the tray 1 to continue running. When the next buffer cartridge 2 containing gloves corresponds to the auxiliary mechanism 5, the conveying mechanism 7 stops running, and the glove feeding operation is performed based on the above process.

[0071] Embodiment 4 On the basis of Embodiment 3, in order to ensure the stability of the tray 1 during feeding, a fixed pushing device 703 is provided on one side of the conveying device 702, and a blocking member 704 is provided on the other side of the conveying device 702. The fixed pushing device 703 can push the tray 1 on the conveying device 702 towards the blocking member 704, so that the tray 1 is fixed between the fixed pushing device 703 and the blocking member 704. When feeding the buffer cartridge 2 in the tray 1, the conveying device 702 conveys the tray 1 to the position corresponding to the flipped clamping mechanism 4 and then stops running. The fixed pushing device 703 pushes the tray 1 towards the blocking member 704 to tightly fix the tray 1, avoiding the tray 1 from sliding during the glove feeding process and causing feeding failure.

[0072] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the fixed pushing device 703 adopts a telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to an angle fixing block. The angle fixing block is arranged corresponding to a vertex angle of the tray 1. The telescopic cylinder controls the angle fixing block to push towards the corresponding vertex angle of the tray 1, combined with the blocking member 704 to avoid the tray 1 from sliding during feeding.

[0073] The blocking member 704 can be a columnar structure or a plate-like structure arranged along the other side edge of the conveying device 702, etc.

[0074] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, in this embodiment, the shuttle driving device 507 can be installed on the lifting and moving frame 502. One end of the lifting and moving frame 502 is slidably connected to a lifting and moving guide rail 508, and the lifting and moving guide rail 508 is installed on the support frame 701. The other end of the lifting and moving frame 502 can be slidably connected to the lifting and moving guide rail 508 installed on the other side of the support frame 701, or a pulley can be provided at the bottom of the other end of the lifting and moving frame 502, and a slideway is provided on the support frame 701, and the pulley can slide along the support frame 701; It further includes a lifting and translation driving mechanism 503 for driving the lifting and moving frame 502 to move back and forth along the lifting and moving guide rail 508.

[0075] In this embodiment, the lifting and translation driving mechanism 503 can be set with reference to the structure of the translation driving mechanism 802. Specifically, the lifting and moving frame 502 can be driven to move back and forth along the lifting and moving guide rail 508 by means of belt transmission or servo module driven by a motor and other transmission methods.

[0076] The feeding process in this embodiment is as follows: The transfer box 3 is clamped and flipped by the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 so that the opening of the transfer box 3 faces downward; after the tray 1 is conveyed to a set position by the conveying mechanism 7, the conveying mechanism 7 stops operating, and the tray 1 is pushed against the blocking member 704 by the fixed pushing device 703 and kept fixed. The translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to move, and at the same time, the lifting and translation driving mechanism 503 drives the lifting and shuttle assembly to move, so that the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 corresponds to the same buffer cartridge 2 in the tray 1 as the lifting and shuttle assembly. At this time, the buffer cartridge 2 corresponds to the transfer box 3; The lifting and shuttle assembly lifts the buffer cartridge 2 and pushes it into the transfer box 3, and is clamped and fixed by the flipping and clamping mechanism 4. The lifting and shuttle assembly retracts, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 flips again, and the gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 are poured into the transfer box 3; The lifting and shuttle assembly lifts to support the transfer box 3, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer box 3, the transfer box 3 is supported by the lifting and shuttle assembly, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves away from above the transfer box 3, and the transfer manipulator 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer box 3 for transfer and feeding operations.

[0077] The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves back and cooperates with the lifting and shuttling assembly to clamp and flip the transfer frame 3 again. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the buffer cartridge 2, which is supported by the lifting and shuttling assembly. The lifting and shuttling assembly drives the empty buffer cartridge 2 to fall back into the tray 1. At this time, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 only clamps the transfer frame 3, and the opening of the transfer frame 3 faces downward. The lifting and translation drive mechanism 503 drives the lifting and shuttling assembly to move to the corresponding position of the next buffer cartridge 2. The translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 to drive the transfer frame 3 with the opening facing downward to move above the buffer cartridge 2. The lifting and shuttling assembly lifts the buffer cartridge 2 and pushes it into the transfer frame 3, which is clamped and fixed by the flipping and clamping mechanism 4. The lifting and shuttling assembly retracts, and the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 flips again. The gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 are poured into the transfer frame 3. Then the lifting and shuttling assembly lifts to support the transfer frame 3. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer frame 3, and the transfer frame 3 is supported by the lifting and shuttling assembly. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves away from above the transfer frame 3, and the transfer manipulator 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3 for transfer and feeding operations. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves back and cooperates with the lifting and shuttling assembly to clamp and flip the transfer frame 3 again. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the buffer cartridge 2, which is supported by the lifting and shuttling assembly. The lifting and shuttling assembly drives the empty buffer cartridge 2 to fall back into the tray 1.

[0078] Thus, the clamping, flipping, and feeding operations are performed on all the buffer cartridges 2 in the tray 1 one by one until the feeding operation of all the gloves in the current tray 1 is completed.

[0079] After all the buffer cartridges 2 in the tray 1 are loaded, they can be removed from the conveying mechanism 7 by a handling robot or a forklift, etc.

[0080] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the reasonable storage of the buffer cartridges 2 and improve the space utilization rate, a plurality of buffer cartridges 2 are placed in the tray 1.

[0081] Embodiment 5 On the basis of Embodiment 4, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 9 , in order to improve the feeding efficiency of this application, the auxiliary mechanism 5 further includes a support and lifting assembly; The support and lifting assembly is arranged at one end of the conveying mechanism 7, and the support and lifting assembly is located below the translation guide rail 801; The support and lifting assembly includes a lifting support frame 504. A support drive device 509 is installed on the lifting support frame 504. The support drive device 509 is connected with a support and lifting member 505. The support drive device 509 drives the support and lifting member 505 to perform a lifting operation on the bottom of the transfer frame 3.

[0082] With reference to Figure 9, the support driving device 509 includes a jacking cylinder fixed on the jacking support frame 504. The telescopic end of the jacking cylinder is fixedly connected to the support jacking member 505. To ensure the connection stability, guiding telescopic rods 506 are also arranged on both sides of the jacking cylinder. One end of the guiding telescopic rod 506 is fixed on the jacking support frame 504, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support jacking member 505. In this embodiment, the support jacking member 505 adopts a support jacking plate. Telescopic clamping components for clamping and fixing the positioning blocks 303 of the transfer frame 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the support jacking plate. A single telescopic clamping component includes two clamping members arranged oppositely. The clamping members move relatively through micro-cylinders respectively. The structure of the clamping members can refer to the structure of the clamping and positioning member 404 to set the clamping plate and / or column structure. Positioning slots 10 can be correspondingly arranged on both sides of the transfer frame 3 for the column structure.

[0083] In this embodiment, the transfer frame 3 is placed on the support jacking member 505.

[0084] Then, in this embodiment, the caching glove loading method is as follows: The support jacking member 505 jacks up to send the transfer frame 3 into the flipping and clamping mechanism 4. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 flips the transfer frame 3 so that the opening of the transfer frame 3 faces downward. Specifically, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps the positioning blocks 303 at both ends of the transfer frame 3.

[0085] After the tray 1 is conveyed to the set position by the conveying mechanism 7, the conveying mechanism 7 stops operating, and the fixed pushing device 703 pushes the tray 1 towards the blocking member 704 to keep it fixed. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves along the translation guide rail 801 to above the caching cartridge 2 containing gloves in the tray 1 to realize the correspondence between the caching cartridge 2 and the transfer frame 3.

[0086] The shuttle jacking member 501 jacks up the corresponding caching cartridge 2 and pushes it into the transfer frame 3. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps and fixes the transfer frame 3, moves back above the support jacking assembly, and after flipping again, the gloves fall into the transfer frame 3.

[0087] The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer frame 3. The support jacking member 505 supports and holds the transfer frame 3, and the transfer robot 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3 to realize the transfer and loading operation.

[0088] Meanwhile, the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 drives the empty caching cartridge 2 to move back above the shuttle jacking member 501. After flipping the caching cartridge 2, the shuttle jacking member 501 lifts the empty caching cartridge 2. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the caching cartridge, and the shuttle jacking member 501 drives the empty caching cartridge 2 to place it back into the tray 1.

[0089] Subsequently, the next caching cartridge 2 with gloves in the tray 1 is loaded.

[0090] While the flipping clamping mechanism 4 replays and buffers the cartridge 2, the transfer manipulator 6 synchronously grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3 to achieve transfer and loading operations, saving the time for replaying the empty buffer cartridge 2, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire system.

[0091] Embodiment 6 Based on Embodiment 5, multiple trays 1 in this embodiment are stacked in a stack; the stacked trays can be covered with a dust-proof cloth, a dust-proof cover, etc. to achieve dust prevention. Of course, a single buffer cartridge 2 can also be covered with a dust-proof cloth, a dust-proof cover, etc. to achieve dust prevention.

[0092] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in order to further improve mechanical automation in this embodiment, the glove loading and buffering system further includes: Unstacker 14: used for unstacking the stacked trays 1, and the unstacked trays 1 are conveyed one by one through the conveying mechanism 7; Stacker 15: used for recycling and stacking the trays 1 after the loading is completed.

[0093] The stacked trays 1 can be conveyed to the unstacker 14 for unstacking by a forklift or an existing handling robot and / or the trays 1 on the conveying mechanism 7 after the loading is completed are stacked by the stacker 15. The automatic loading and recycling of the trays 1 are realized through the unstacker 14 and the stacker 15.

[0094] The unstacker 14 and the stacker 15 can be separately arranged at both ends of the conveying mechanism 7. The single tray 1 unstacked by the unstacker 14 is directly transferred to one end of the conveying mechanism 7 for conveying, or the conveying mechanism 7 conveys the tray 1 after the loading is completed to the other end, and is directly stacked by the stacker 15. Limited by factors such as the size of the site or the blockage of other mechanism positions, the unstacker 14 and the stacker 15 may not be able to be separately arranged at both ends of the conveying mechanism 7. In order to increase the applicability in this embodiment, a transfer mechanism 9 is also provided, and the transfer mechanism 9 is arranged between the unstacker 14 and the conveying mechanism 7 and / or between the stacker 15 and the conveying mechanism 7.

[0095] The transfer mechanism 9 is arranged between the unstacker 14 and the conveying mechanism 7, and is used for transferring the tray 1 unstacked by the unstacker 14 to the conveying mechanism 7; The transfer mechanism 9 is arranged between the stacker 15 and the conveying mechanism 7, and is used for transferring the tray 1 on the conveying mechanism 7 to the stacker 15 to assist the stacker 15 in performing the stacking operation; The transfer mechanism 9 includes a conveyor system 901, a transfer driving device 902 for driving the conveyor system to operate, and a lifting device 903 for moving the conveyor system 901 and the transfer driving device 902 up and down; The conveyor system 901 is arranged between the unstacker 14 and the conveying mechanism 7 and / or between the stacker 15 and the conveying mechanism 7.

[0096] The position of the transfer system 901 is set according to the relative positions of the actual palletizer 14, the stacker 15, the conveying mechanism 7, and the glove conveyor line 16, and the purpose of transferring the pallet 1 can be achieved. For example, if the conveying mechanism 7 is parallel to the glove conveyor line 16, the palletizer 14 and the stacker 15 can be respectively arranged at both ends of the conveying mechanism 7. Or if the conveying mechanism 7 and the glove conveyor line 16 are perpendicular to each other, the palletizer 14 and the stacker 15 can both be arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 7. It is also possible to install one of the palletizer 14 and the stacker 15 on one side of the conveying mechanism 7 and the other at one end of the conveying mechanism 7 away from the glove conveyor line 16, etc. If there is a vertical or cross situation between the transfer system 901 and the conveying mechanism 7, corresponding notches are provided on the transfer mechanism 9 or the conveying device 702 at the crossing to avoid interfering with the operation of any one of the transfer system 901, the conveying device 702, and the lifting device 903.

[0097] For example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, due to site restrictions, both the palletizer 14 and the stacker 15 are arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 7. The conveying device 702 uses a roller conveyor. The transfer system 901 of a single transfer mechanism 9 includes at least two conveyor belt systems. The transfer system 901 of the same transfer mechanism 9 is arranged on the same transfer rack 904, and the pulleys of the transfer system 901 are respectively rotationally connected to the transfer rack 904 through bearings, etc. The two conveyor belt systems mainly need to be able to support and drive the movement of the pallet 1 without interfering with the operation of the conveying device 702. The two conveyor belt systems can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or can be replaced by other existing conveying equipment, etc., without specific limitations. The transfer system 901 can also use other existing devices that can achieve support and transportation. In this embodiment, the palletizer 14 corresponds to one end of the conveying device 702. For the two conveyor belt systems in the corresponding transfer mechanism 9, one is arranged at one end of the conveying device 702, and the other is arranged in the gap between two adjacent rollers of the conveying device 702. Only 1 notch needs to be correspondingly provided on the frame of the roller conveyor. If one of them is also arranged in the gap between two adjacent rollers of the conveying device 702, another notch also needs to be correspondingly provided on the frame of the roller conveyor. There are no restrictions on the conveying device 702 and the transfer system 901. For example, if the conveying device 702 uses two parallel conveyor belt systems and the transfer system 901 uses a roller conveyor, the conveying device 702 is arranged in the gap between two adjacent rollers of the transfer system 901, and a notch is correspondingly provided on the frame of the roller conveyor, which is also acceptable.

[0098] The transfer driving device 902 includes a motor fixedly arranged on the transfer rack 904. The motor drives the transfer shaft 905 to rotate, and the pulleys at the same end of the two transfer systems 901 are respectively coaxially and fixedly connected to the transfer shaft 905.

[0099] In this embodiment, the transfer rack 904 is arranged as a rectangular frame. The lifting devices 903 correspond to the four corners of the transfer rack 904. The lifting devices 903 adopt lifting cylinders and are fixedly arranged. The telescopic ends of the lifting devices 903 are fixedly connected to the transfer rack 904.

[0100] The transfer mechanism 9 is used to transfer the depalletized pallets 1 one by one to the conveying mechanism 7 after depalletizing, or transfer the pallets 1 with empty buffer boxes 2 after loading to the palletizer 15 for palletizing operations. The transfer rack 904 provides support for the conveyor system 901 and the transfer driving device 902. The lifting devices 903 directly lift the transfer rack 904, thereby driving the conveyor system 901 and the transfer driving device 902 to move up and down.

[0101] The entire buffer glove loading system of this application can be directly arranged on one side of the existing glove conveying line 16. The conveying mechanism 7 is perpendicular to the glove conveying line 16. The support lifting assembly is located between the conveying mechanism 7 and the glove conveying line 16. One end of the translation guide rail 801 is located above the conveying mechanism 7, and the other end extends above the glove conveying line 16. Multiple groups of glove conveying lines 16 can be arranged to adapt to the loading of gloves of different model sizes.

[0102] Embodiment 7 Based on Embodiment 6, referring to Figure 2 , the transfer and loading mechanism in this embodiment further includes a moving crossbeam 11. The transfer manipulator 6 is arranged on the moving crossbeam 11. One end of the moving crossbeam 11 is slidably connected to the translation guide rail 801, and the other end is also slidably connected to the translation guide rail 801. Or a pulley is arranged at the bottom of the other end of the moving crossbeam 11, and a slideway is arranged on the support frame 701. The other end of the moving crossbeam 11 is slidably connected to the support frame. The translation mechanism further includes a crossbeam driving mechanism 17. The moving crossbeam 11 is driven by the crossbeam driving mechanism 17 to move along the translation guide rail 801.

[0103] A lifting mechanism 12 is provided on the moving crossbeam 11. The lifting mechanism 12 is connected to a manipulator platform 13. A plurality of transfer manipulators 6 are fixedly connected to the manipulator platform 13, or a plurality of rotating mechanisms are installed on the manipulator platform 13, and a single rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to a transfer manipulator 6. In this embodiment, a plurality of rotating mechanisms are specifically installed on the manipulator platform 13, and a single rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to a transfer manipulator 6. The lifting mechanism 12 uses a lifting cylinder, and the rotating mechanism uses a rotating cylinder. The number of rotating mechanisms and transfer manipulators 6 provided on the manipulator platform 13 is set corresponding to the number of buffer units 204 on the buffer cartridge 2, so that multiple stacks of gloves can be grabbed at one time. After the transfer manipulator 6 grabs the gloves in the transfer frame 3, the moving crossbeam 11 is driven by the crossbeam driving mechanism 17 to be transferred above the glove conveying line 16, and the grabbed gloves are placed on the glove conveying line 16 in cooperation with the lifting mechanism 12.

[0104] In the initial state, a plurality of buffer cartridges 2 are placed in the tray 1, and the gloves are buffered in the buffer cartridges 2. The trays 1 are stacked and stored. The transfer frame 3 is placed on the support lifting assembly, and the support lifting assembly clamps and fixes the transfer frame 3, specifically the clamping and positioning block 303.

[0105] In this embodiment, the method steps for buffering glove feeding are as follows: Step 1: The flipping clamping mechanism 4 clamps the transfer frame 3 and flips it so that the opening of the transfer frame 3 faces downward; specifically, the flipping clamping mechanism 4 moves above the support lifting assembly, the support lifting assembly lifts the transfer frame 3, pushes the transfer frame 3 into the flipping clamping mechanism 4, and then the flipping clamping mechanism 4 clamps the transfer frame 3 and flips it so that the opening of the transfer frame 3 faces downward, and the support lifting assembly falls back; Step 2: The tray 1 is conveyed on the conveying mechanism 7, and the conveying mechanism 7 cooperates with the translation mechanism 8 so that a single buffer cartridge 2 in the tray 1 corresponds to the transfer frame 3; specifically, a handling robot or a worker uses a forklift to move the stacked trays 1 onto the unstacking machine 14. The unstacking machine 14 performs an unstacking operation on the stacked trays 1. The lifting device 903 lifts the transfer rack 904, and a single tray 1 falls on the conveyor system 901. The conveyor system 901 drives the single tray 1 to be transferred onto the conveying device 702. Then the lifting device 903 falls back and moves the transfer rack 904 downward below the conveying device 702. The single tray 1 falls on the conveying device 702, and the conveying device 702 moves the single tray 1 to the transfer mechanism 9 corresponding to the palletizer 15. The fixed pushing device 703 fixes the tray 1 between the fixed pushing device 703 and the stopper 704. The translation mechanism 8 drives the flipping clamping mechanism 4 to move above the tray 1 so that a single buffer cartridge 2 in the tray 1 corresponds to the transfer frame 3; Step 3: The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps and fixes the buffer cartridge 2 corresponding to the transfer frame 3, and then synchronously flips the clamped buffer cartridge 2 and the transfer frame 3, and the gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 fall into the transfer frame 3. Specifically, the lifting and shuttling assembly passes through the shuttling space of the conveying device 702 and the avoidance structure of the tray 1, lifts and sends the buffer cartridge 2 corresponding to the transfer frame 3 into the flipping and clamping mechanism 4. The buffer cartridge 2 is buckled into the transfer frame 3, and the convex pressing strip 302 presses the gloves against the bottom of the buffer cartridge 2 to prevent the gloves from being disordered during subsequent flipping. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 clamps and fixes the buffer cartridge 2. After the flipping and clamping mechanism 4 moves to the upper part of the support and lifting assembly based on the translation mechanism, a flipping operation is performed, and the gloves in the buffer cartridge 2 fall into the transfer frame 3.

[0106] Step 4: The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer frame 3, and the transfer manipulator 6 grabs and transfers the gloves in the transfer frame 3 for feeding operation. Specifically, the support and lifting assembly moves upward to support the transfer frame 3, and specifically clamps and supports the transfer frame 3 through the positioning block 303. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 releases the transfer frame 3, and the support and lifting assembly drives the transfer frame 3 to move downward. The flipping and clamping mechanism 4 drives the buffer cartridge 2 to flip, and then moves back above the tray 1. The lifting and shuttling assembly moves upward to catch the empty buffer cartridge 2, and then moves downward, so that the empty buffer cartridge 2 falls back into the tray 1. At the same time, the moving cross beam 11 drives the transfer manipulator 6 to move above the transfer frame 3, and the lifting mechanism 12 drives the transfer manipulator 6 to move downward. After grabbing the gloves in the transfer frame 3, it moves upward. Then the moving cross beam 11 drives the transfer manipulator 6 to move above the glove conveying line 16, and if necessary, rotates the angle of the transfer manipulator 6 based on the rotating mechanism to adjust the angle of glove release. Then control the transfer manipulator 6 to move downward and release the gloves, and the gloves fall on the glove conveying line 16.

[0107] The lifting and moving frame 502 drives the lifting and shuttling assembly to move below the next buffer cartridge 2 containing gloves in the tray 1, lifts the buffer cartridge 2, and repeats the above steps. After all the buffer cartridges 2 in the tray 1 have completed the feeding operation. In the transfer mechanism 9 corresponding to the palletizer 15, the lifting device 903 lifts the conveyor system 901, drives the tray 1 to move below the palletizer 15 for palletizing operation. Then the feeding operation of the next tray 1 is carried out until all the gloves have completed the feeding operation.
