Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic transportation device, and more particularly to an automatic transportation device for multi-directional plates. Background Art

[0002] In modern manufacturing, automated production lines have become an important means to improve production efficiency and product quality. Traditional production lines often require a large amount of manual handling and operation, suffering from problems such as low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and easy occurrence of human errors. Therefore, the research and application of automated conveying equipment have become one of the important directions for the development of the manufacturing industry.

[0003] Currently, various types of conveying equipment already exist in the market, including chain conveyors, belt conveyors, roller conveyors, etc. These devices have solved the problem of production line transportation to a certain extent, but still have the following deficiencies: traditional conveying equipment usually can only achieve single-direction transportation, and it is difficult to meet the multi-directional transportation requirements of plates in complex production processes; at the same time, the control methods of traditional conveying equipment are single, and it is difficult to achieve precise positioning and switching of the transportation direction of the plates.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of conveying equipment is needed, which can achieve multi-directional transportation of plates, has an automatic lifting function, and can precisely control the positioning and switching of the transportation direction of the plates to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for production efficiency and automation level.

[0010] A plurality of liftable braking units and liftable baffles are provided on the longitudinal conveying unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the liftable braking unit is used to brake and decelerate the plate, and further limit a specific plate through the liftable baffle, facilitating the transverse transportation of the plate by the conveying wheels.

[0012] Furthermore, motors matching the respective first conveying rollers are provided on the first frame body, and the output shafts of the motors are in transmission connection with the first conveying rollers.

[0028] 4) By providing a plurality of first electric cylinders on the first frame body and installing the conveying wheels on the first electric cylinders, the independent lifting function of the conveying wheels is realized. In this way, in the state where the conveying wheels are lifted, they can contact the lower surface of the sheet and even slightly lift the sheet, thereby realizing lateral transportation.

[0029] 5) Independent motor drive connection: The conveying rollers on the first frame body and the second frame body are each provided with an independent motor matching therewith, and the output shaft of the motor is in transmission connection with the conveying roller, realizing automated sheet transportation. When each motor is communicatively connected to the central control machine, the rotational speeds of single or multiple conveying rollers can be independently adjusted, realizing the adjustment of the local sheet transportation speed during the transportation process, and more complex transportation process control can be realized.
