Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an automated production line, belonging to the field of automated equipment. Background Art
[0002] To improve production efficiency and achieve large-scale batch production, assembly line operations are widely adopted in modern industrial production. Carriers, as key components for placing products, play a vital role in the production process. They precisely position products, ensuring they remain stable and correctly positioned at each processing station, thereby guaranteeing machining accuracy and product quality.
[0003] The return line can meet the needs of carriers circulating between processing stations. Its main function is to transport carriers carrying products to each processing station in sequence according to a preset path. After the carrier completes all processing steps, it is transported back to its starting position for the next round of production. This circular transportation method greatly improves the consistency and efficiency of the production process and reduces the time and labor intensity of manual handling of carriers.
[0004] To ensure a stable position at the processing station, the carrier locks the product with a locking structure. Once the carrier reaches the loading station or processing is completed, the locking structure must be unlocked to allow the product to be placed in or removed. However, the mainstream reflow line technology currently available on the market generally does not have the function of automatically unlocking the carrier, and generally relies on manual unlocking of the carrier, such as requiring the operator to manually operate buttons, levers, or wrenches at the workstation. This results in high labor intensity and low unlocking efficiency, which in turn reduces conveying and reflow efficiency.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve one of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides an automated production line.
[0007] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an automated production line, comprising: A first conveying line is provided with a first input station and a first output station, and is used to convey the carrier located at the first input station to the first output station; A second conveying line is provided with a second input station and a second output station, for conveying the carrier located at the second input station to the second output station; and Two docking devices, respectively used for transferring carriers between the first output station and the second input station and between the second output station and the first input station; The carrier is provided with a locking structure for fixing the product, and each docking device is provided with an unlocking component and an unlocking drive mechanism.

[0010] According to the technical solution of the embodiment, the conveying mechanism of the first docking device can move between the first output station and the second input station, satisfying the first transfer point, i.e., the upward and downward transfer between the output of the first conveying line and the input of the second conveying line. The conveying mechanism of the second docking device can move between the second output station and the first input station, satisfying the second transfer point, i.e., the upward and downward transfer between the output of the second conveying line and the input of the first conveying line. Specifically, the conveying mechanism of the first docking device is raised to be in contact with the first output station, receives the carrier from the first output station, and then is lowered to be in contact with the second input station, to convey the carrier to the second input station. The conveying mechanism of the second docking device is lowered to be in contact with the second output station, receives the carrier from the second output station, and then is raised to be in contact with the first input station, to convey the carrier to the first input station.
[0011] According to the automated production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second input station is located below the first output station, and the second output station is located below the first input station. Each docking device includes a support, a conveying mechanism arranged on the support, a lifting mechanism for driving the support and the conveying mechanism to move up and down, and an unlocking assembly fixedly arranged on the support. The conveying mechanism of the first docking device is driven by the lifting mechanism to move between the first input station and the second output station, to receive the carrier located at the second output station when in contact with the second output station, and to convey the carrier to the first input station when in contact with the first input station. The conveying mechanism of the second docking device is driven by the lifting mechanism to move between the first output station and the second input station, to receive the carrier located at the first output station when in contact with the first output station, and to convey the carrier to the second input station when in contact with the second input station.
[0012] According to the technical solution of the embodiment, the photoelectric sensor and the sensing sheet can realize position detection of three positions, providing a basis for the automation of the system. First, the photoelectric sensor and the sensing sheet detect whether the first docking device moves to accurately dock with the first output station or the second input station, and whether the second docking device moves to accurately dock with the first input station or the second output station. After reaching the docking position, the unlocking assembly is fixedly arranged on the support, and the photoelectric sensor and the sensing sheet detect whether the unlocking assembly is accurately inserted into the unlocking station of the carrier.
[0013] According to the automatic production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conveying line is provided with a rotating lifting mechanism, the rotating lifting mechanism comprises a support base, a Y-direction moving module arranged on the support base, a sliding table plate arranged on the Y-direction moving module, a lifting mechanism arranged on the sliding table plate, a rotating mechanism arranged on the lifting mechanism, and a second carrier lifting plate arranged on the rotating mechanism; the Y-direction moving module is used to drive the sliding table plate to move along the Y-direction, the lifting mechanism is used to drive the rotating mechanism to move up and down, and the rotating mechanism is used to drive the second carrier lifting plate to rotate, so that the carrier on the first conveying line is lifted by the second carrier lifting plate to be separated from the first conveying line and then rotated.
[0014] According to the technical solution of the present embodiment, the rotating lifting mechanism drives the carrier to lift and rotate, so that the carrier can complete direction adjustment without moving out of the production line. First, the Y-direction moving module drives the sliding table plate to move along the conveying direction to be accurately positioned below the carrier; then the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the second carrier lifting plate to vertically lift, so that the carrier is separated from the conveying line; finally, the rotating mechanism drives the lifting plate to drive the carrier to horizontally rotate by a specific angle, such as 90° or 180°. In this way, the rotating lifting mechanism completes the turning operation of the carrier in place on the first conveying line, and extra transfer path or special rotating station is saved.
[0015] According to the automatic production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conveying line comprises a rack and two groups of synchronous belt mechanisms arranged on the rack, the synchronous belt mechanisms comprise a plurality of upper synchronous wheels and lower synchronous wheels arranged on the rack, and a synchronous belt arranged on the upper synchronous wheels and the lower synchronous wheels, the lower synchronous wheel is located between and below the adjacent two upper synchronous wheels, so that the synchronous belt forms at least two recesses, and the rack is provided with a gap slot at the opposite positions of the recesses; the first conveying line is provided with a lifting passing mechanism, the lifting passing mechanism comprises a passing driving mechanism, a carrier mounting frame, and a third carrier lifting plate, the rack is provided with the passing driving mechanism on both sides of the synchronous belt respectively, the carrier mounting frame is arranged between each passing driving mechanism and is provided with at least two support beams, the passing driving mechanism is used to drive the carrier mounting frame to move up and down, and the third carrier lifting plate is located directly above the support beam; in the initial state, at least part of the support beam is arranged in the recess and the gap slot, and the carrier lifting plate is arranged below the synchronous belt; when the passing driving mechanism drives the carrier mounting frame to rise, the third carrier lifting plate is supported by the support beam and located above the synchronous belt.
[0016] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the jacking-over station mechanism realizes the temporary storage and avoidance functions of the carrier. The synchronous belt is formed into a recess by the action of the lower synchronous pulley, and the frame is provided with a corresponding clearance groove. The support beam is embedded in the recess and the clearance groove, so that the third carrier lifting plate is hidden under the synchronous belt, ensuring the integrity of the carrier conveying plane. The provision of at least two support beams can disperse the lifting stress and avoid deformation caused by single-point force. The station-over drive mechanism pushes the carrier mounting frame, causing the support beam to rise in the recess, thereby lifting the third carrier lifting plate above the conveying plane. Subsequently, the carrier carried by the third carrier lifting plate is separated from the synchronous belt and raised to a high position, realizing the rapid lifting, temporary storage, and avoidance functions of the carrier on the first conveyor line.
[0017] According to the automated production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conveyor line is provided with a second jacking mechanism, the second jacking mechanism includes a second jacking drive mechanism arranged on the frame of the first conveyor line and a fourth carrier jacking plate arranged on the piston rod of the second jacking drive mechanism, the fourth carrier jacking plate is arranged on the first conveyor line, and the second jacking drive mechanism is used to drive the fourth carrier jacking plate to move upward so that the carrier on the first conveyor line is lifted and separated by the fourth carrier jacking plate.
[0018] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, when a carrier is delivered to a designated station on the first conveyor line, the second lifting drive mechanism drives the fourth carrier lifting plate to move vertically upward, penetrating the gap between the conveyor surfaces and directly lifting the carrier, completely clearing the load surface of the first conveyor line. The carrier hovers at a predetermined height and maintains this position. After avoidance, inspection, or manual operation is completed, the second lifting drive mechanism drives the carrier back to the first conveyor line.
[0019] According to the automated production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conveyor line is provided with a light source assembly, and the light source assembly includes a light source bracket arranged on the frame and several visual light sources arranged on the light source bracket, the light source bracket is arranged across the upper area of the fourth carrier lifting plate, and each of the visual light sources is arranged around the upper area of the fourth carrier lifting plate, for providing multi-angle lighting to the carrier and products lifted by the fourth carrier lifting plate.
[0020] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, after the vehicle is lifted to a hovering position by the second lifting mechanism, a ring-shaped visual light source array arranged above the fourth vehicle lifting plate is activated synchronously, projecting a uniform light field from multiple angles. This light covers the entire surface of the vehicle, eliminating blind spots and providing sufficient illumination for the machine vision system to support visual inspection.
[0021] According to the automated production line of at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conveyor line is provided with a position detection device for detecting the position of the carrier, and a blocking mechanism is provided downstream of the rotary lifting station, the jacking-passing station, the jacking station or the visual inspection station, and a non-return assembly is provided upstream of the station; the blocking mechanism includes a blocking block and a blocking drive mechanism that drives the blocking block to move up and down, the blocking block is used to block the carrier on the first conveyor line from moving along the conveying direction, and the blocking drive mechanism is fixedly provided on the first conveyor line; the non-return assembly includes a non-return base fixedly provided on the first conveyor line, a non-return block rotatably provided on the non-return base, and a non-return assembly provided at the station. The check spring between the check base and the check block, the check block is provided with an inclined surface inclined from bottom to top to the horizontal plane along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line; in the initial state, the check base blocks the check block from rotating in the first rotation direction; when the carrier on the first conveyor line moves to the check block along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line, it pushes the inclined surface of the check block to rotate in the second rotation direction to avoid, the check spring elastically deforms, and the second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction; when the carrier passes through the check block, the check spring drives the check block to reset; when the carrier moves in the opposite direction, the check block contacts the check base to form a rigid blockage.
[0022] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, when the position detection device of the first conveyor line detects that the carrier has entered the rotary lifting station, the jacking-over station, the jacking station, or the visual inspection station, the check assembly can simultaneously prevent the carrier from moving in the opposite direction on the first conveyor line due to rebound or other operations. The carrier pushes the inclined surface of the check block to rotate downward, compressing the spring, and driving the check block to reset instantaneously via the rear spring; when the carrier moves backward, the check block rigidly contacts the check base, forming a mechanical interlock. At the same time, the blocking mechanism of the corresponding station is activated, and the blocking drive mechanism drives the blocking block upward, pausing the carrier at the station and confining the carrier between the blocking block and the check block.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the relevant content and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the portions relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0037] Unless otherwise stated, the exemplary embodiments / examples shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concepts of the present disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of the various embodiments / examples may be further combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of the present disclosure.
[0038] When a component is referred to as being “on,” “over,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another component, there are no intervening components present. For this purpose, the term “connected” may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.
[0039] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "below," "beneath," "under," "down," "above," "upper," "above," "higher," and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")," to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over, a component described as "below" or "beneath" another component or feature would then be positioned "above" the other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and as such, the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0040] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "comprising," "including," "containing," and / or "having" are used in the specification and / or claims, such terms are to be read expansively and without limitation unless otherwise indicated. Additionally, as used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or" unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term "about" is used to allow for variations from the nominal or desired value, as would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art, and is not to be considered as being limited to the specific value unless otherwise indicated. Additionally, as used herein, the term "substantially" is used to describe the inherent deviations in a manufacturing or production process, such as deviations in a manufacturing or production process that occur through variations in the manufacturing or production process, and therefore such term can refer to variations that are not appreciable to the naked eye.
[0041] To ensure the stability of the position on the processing station, the existing automatic production line locks the product through the locking structure. After the carrier reaches the loading station or the processing is completed, the locking structure needs to be unlocked first so that the product can be put in or taken out. However, the existing mainstream reflow line technology on the current market generally does not have the function of automatically unlocking the carrier, and generally relies on manual unlocking of the carrier, such as the need for an operator to manually operate a button, a pull rod or a wrench beside the station, resulting in high labor intensity, low unlocking efficiency, and thus reducing the conveying and reflow efficiency.
[0042] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment provides an automatic production line.
[0043] Figure 1 is a top view of an automatic production line according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 is Figure 1 is a sectional view of A-A, Figure 3 is a perspective view of a docking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 is a structural schematic view of a docking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 is a top view of a docking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the automatic production line provided by the embodiment includes a first conveying line 100, a second conveying line 200 and two docking devices 300.
[0045] The first conveyor line 100 is provided with a first input station 101 and a first output station 102, and is used to convey the carrier located at the first input station 101 to the first output station 102. The first conveyor line 100 includes a frame 110 and two sets of synchronous belt mechanisms 120 spaced apart from each other on the frame 110. The synchronous belt mechanism 120 includes a plurality of upper synchronous pulleys 121 and lower synchronous pulleys 122 disposed on the frame 110, and a synchronous belt 123 disposed between the upper synchronous pulleys 121 and the lower synchronous pulleys 122. The lower synchronous pulley 122 is located between and below two adjacent upper synchronous pulleys 121, so that the synchronous belt 123 forms at least two recesses 124. The frame 110 is provided with a clearance groove 111 at a position opposite to the recess 124. The first conveyor line 100 is also provided with a position detection device 130 for detecting the position of the carrier.
[0046] The second conveyor line 200 is provided with a second input station 201 and a second output station 202 for conveying the carrier located at the second input station 201 to the second output station 202. The second input station 201 is located below the first output station 102, and the second output station 202 is located below the first input station 101.
[0047] The two docking devices 300 are used for transferring the carrier between the first output station 102 and the second input station 201 and for transferring the carrier between the second output station 202 and the first input station 101 respectively.
[0048] Although not shown in the present disclosure, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a carrier is generally provided with a locking structure for securing a product, and the locking structure has a locked position and an unlocked position. Specifically, when the locking structure is in the locked position, it can secure and lock the product to maintain the precise positioning of the product when the carrier is circulated. When the locking structure is in the unlocked position, the locking structure can release the product, and the product can be removed from the carrier.
[0049] Accordingly, each docking device 300 is provided with an unlocking assembly 310 and an unlocking drive mechanism 320 . The unlocking drive mechanism 320 can drive the unlocking assembly 310 to move the locking structure of the carrier from a locked position to an unlocked position to release the locking structure from fixing the product.
[0050] It can be understood that the carriers are the objects of action of the automated production line disclosed herein. They can be existing carriers and can be selected according to different production needs.
[0051] According to the above technical solution, when the carrier is transferred to the docking device, its unlocking component 310 can move to the locking position of the locking structure, and then the unlocking drive mechanism 320 drives the unlocking component 310 to act on the locking structure of the carrier to release its fixation on the product. The entire process does not require manual intervention, eliminating the manual unlocking link, achieving seamless connection between carrier unlocking and conveying process, and completely replacing high-intensity manual unlocking operations, reducing manpower dependence and operational errors.
[0052] See Figures 3 to 5 As shown, each docking device 300 includes a bracket 330, a conveying mechanism 340 arranged on the bracket 330, and a lifting mechanism 350 for driving the bracket 330 and the conveying mechanism 340 to move up and down, and the unlocking component 310 is arranged on the bracket 330; wherein, the conveying mechanism 340 of the first docking device is driven by the lifting mechanism 350 to move between the first input station 101 and the second output station 202, and is used to receive the carrier located at the second output station 202 when docking with the second output station 202, and to convey the carrier to the first input station 101 when docking with the first input station 101; the conveying mechanism 340 of the second docking device is driven by the lifting mechanism 350 to move between the first output station 102 and the second input station 201, and is used to receive the carrier located at the first output station 102 when docking with the first output station 102, and to convey the carrier to the second input station 201 when docking with the second input station 201. The lifting mechanism 350 can be a high-precision screw moving module and can be fixed relative to the ground or a frame. The bracket 330 can be fixedly mounted on the moving part of the screw module.
[0053] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 340 of the first docking device 300 can move between the first output station 102 and the second input station 201, meeting the first transfer point, that is, connecting the up and down transfer of the output of the first conveyor line 100 and the input of the second conveyor line 200; the conveying mechanism 340 of the second docking device 300 can move between the second output station 202 and the first input station 101, meeting the second transfer point, that is, connecting the up and down transfer of the output of the second conveyor line 200 and the input of the first conveyor line 100. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 340 of the first docking device 300 rises to dock with the first output station 102, receives the carrier from the first output station 102, and then descends to dock with the second input station 201, and conveys the carrier to the second input station 201; the conveying mechanism 340 of the second docking device 300 descends to dock with the second output station 202, receives the carrier from the second output station 202, and then rises to dock with the first input station 101, and conveys the carrier to the first input station 101.
[0054] See Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of the unlocking assembly 310 and the unlocking drive mechanism 320, the unlocking assembly 310 includes a first unlocking block 311, a second unlocking block 312 and an X-direction unlocking rod 313. The first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 are arranged on the bracket 330 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the carrier. The first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 can both move linearly toward the locking structure. Exemplarily, a slide rail extending in the X direction is provided on the bracket 330, and the first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 are respectively fixedly mounted with a slider and connected to the slide rail through the slider. The first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 are respectively provided with an X-direction unlocking rod 313, and the X-direction unlocking rod 313 is used to be inserted into the lock hole of the locking structure of the carrier.
[0055] The unlocking drive mechanism 320 includes an X-axis connecting rod 321, a Y-axis connecting rod 322 and a first linear drive mechanism 323. Two X-axis connecting rods 321 are provided, and one end of the two X-axis connecting rods 321 is rotatably connected to the first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 respectively, and the other end is rotatably connected to the Y-axis connecting rod 322. The above-mentioned rotatable connection can be achieved by a rotating shaft connection. The first linear drive mechanism 323 is connected to the Y-axis connecting rod 322, and is used to drive the Y-axis connecting rod 322 to move back and forth along the Y direction. The first linear drive mechanism 323 can be a cylinder, which is mounted on the bracket 330, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to the Y-axis connecting rod 322. Among them, the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction, and the Y direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 340. When the X-direction unlocking rod 313 is inserted into the locking hole of the carrier and the Y-direction connecting rod 322 moves along the first Y-direction, the two X-direction connecting rods 321 drive the first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 to move linearly toward the locking structure, so that the X-direction unlocking rod 313 unlocks the carrier; when the Y-direction connecting rod 322 moves along a second direction opposite to the first direction, the two X-direction connecting rods 321 drive the first unlocking block 311 and the second unlocking block 312 to return to their original position. According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the unlocking process of the unlocking assembly 310 is as follows: the X-axis unlocking rod 313 is inserted into the locking hole of the vehicle, and the Y-axis connecting rod 322 is driven by the first linear drive mechanism 323 to move along the first Y-axis direction. This, through the X-axis connecting rod 321, drives the two unlocking blocks to move linearly along the X-axis toward the locking structure. The X-axis unlocking rod 313, within the locking hole, drives the locking structure to unlock the vehicle. To reset, the X-axis unlocking rod 313 disengages from the locking hole of the vehicle, and the Y-axis connecting rod 322 moves in the opposite direction, resetting the first and second unlocking blocks 311, 312 via the X-axis connecting rod 321. In this arrangement, the first linear drive mechanism 323 cooperates with the X-axis connecting rod 321 and the Y-axis connecting rod 322 to simultaneously drive the first and second unlocking blocks 311, 312 to move in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction. This, in turn, drives the two sets of X-axis unlocking rods 313 to move linearly toward different or the same locking structure, thereby completing the unlocking operation. This effectively reduces the number of driving components and improves unlocking efficiency.
[0056] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the unlocking assembly 310 and the unlocking drive mechanism 320, the unlocking assembly 310 further includes a Y-direction unlocking rod 314, and the unlocking drive mechanism 320 further includes a second linear drive mechanism 324. The Y-direction unlocking rod 314 is used to insert into the locking hole of the carrier. The second linear drive mechanism 324 is used to drive the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 to move linearly along the Y-direction after insertion into the carrier locking hole to unlock the carrier; the Y-direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 100. The second linear drive mechanism 324 can be a cylinder and fixedly mounted on the bracket 330. The Y-direction unlocking rod 314 can be fixed to a connecting block 315, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting block 315. Exemplarily, a slide rail extending in the Y-direction is provided on the bracket 330. A slider is fixedly mounted on the connecting block 315 and is connected to the slide rail via the slider. The slide rail and the slider guide the movement of the Y-direction unlocking rod 314. According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 is inserted into the lock hole of the carrier, and the second linear drive mechanism 324 drives the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 to move linearly along the Y-direction toward or away from the locking structure to unlock the carrier, wherein the moving direction of the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 is parallel to the driving direction of the second linear drive mechanism 324.
[0057] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the two unlocking components 310 mentioned above, including the X-axis unlocking rod 313, the Y-axis unlocking rod 314 and related structures and the unlocking drive mechanism 320, including the first linear drive mechanism 323, the second linear drive mechanism 324 and the related connecting rod structure implementation, can be used separately or integrated and applied to the same system at the same time according to actual needs. When the unlocking device adopts the implementation of the above two unlocking components and unlocking drive mechanisms at the same time, the unlocking actions of the X-axis unlocking rod 313 and the Y-axis unlocking rod 314 can remain independent and do not interfere with each other. This design enables the system to simultaneously unlock locking structures with different unlocking directions on the carrier, thereby significantly improving the overall unlocking efficiency and optimizing the production process.
[0058] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first lifting mechanism 360 and the conveyor belt cooperate to move the carrier to the unlocking position of the docking device 300 before transportation. Thus, the carrier can be unlocked at the unlocking position.
[0059] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 340 includes two conveyor belts 341 arranged parallel and spaced apart on the support 330. The docking device 300 also includes a first lifting mechanism 360, which includes a first lifting drive mechanism 361 and a first carrier lifting plate 362 mounted on a first lifting cylinder. The first lifting drive mechanism 361 can be a cylinder, the piston rod of which is fixedly connected to the first carrier lifting plate 362. The first carrier lifting plate 362 is located between the two conveyor belts 341 and is used to lift the carrier. The first lifting drive mechanism 361 is used to drive the first carrier lifting plate 362 up and down. After the carrier is lifted (i.e., the carrier is in the unlocking position), the unlocking assembly 310 unlocks the carrier; or after the carrier is lowered, the unlocking assembly 310 disengages the carrier (i.e., the carrier is in the transporting position), allowing the carrier to be transported. In other words, the first lifting mechanism 360 can move the carrier between the unlocking position and the transporting position by changing its height.
[0060] The carrier is lifted up by the first carrier lifting plate 362 and moves upward, causing the unlocking assembly 310 to move downward relative to the carrier to the unlocking position, such as the X-direction unlocking rod 313 and the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 are respectively inserted into the corresponding lock holes; when the first carrier lifting plate 362 and the carrier descend, the unlocking assembly 310 exits the unlocking position upward relative to the carrier, such as the X-direction unlocking rod 313 and the Y-direction unlocking rod 314 exit the corresponding lock holes respectively.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, to accurately detect the position of a carrier, each docking device 300 includes a base 370, a guide rail fixed to the base 370, a slider mounted on the guide rail, three photoelectric sensors 380 mounted on the base 370, and a sensing plate 390 mounted on a bracket 330. The slider is fixed to the bracket 330. The three photoelectric sensors 380 of the first docking device 300 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top, and correspond to the positions of the sensing plates 390 when the conveyor mechanism 340 is docked with the first input station 101, when it is docked with the second output station 202, and when the unlocking assembly 310 is inserted into the unlocking position of the carrier. The three photoelectric sensors 380 of the second docking device 300 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top, and correspond to the positions of the sensing plates 390 when the conveyor mechanism 340 is docked with the first output station 102, when it is docked with the second input station 201, and when the unlocking assembly 310 is inserted into the unlocking position of the carrier.
[0062] According to the technical solution of the present embodiment, the photoelectric sensor 380 and the sensing sheet 390 can realize position detection of three positions, providing a basis for the automation of the system. For example, the sensing signal is fed back to the controller, and the controller can control the corresponding mechanism to execute relevant instructions according to the sensing signal. For example, when the conveying mechanism 340 is docked with the second output station 202, the controller controls the conveying mechanism 340 to change the conveying direction to receive the empty carrier. The position detection of the three positions is firstly to detect the docking position of the two stations. The photoelectric sensor 380 and the sensing sheet 390 detect whether the first docking device 300 is accurately docked with the first output station 102 or the second input station 201, and detect whether the second docking device 300 is accurately docked with the first input station 101 or the second output station 202. After reaching the docking position, the unlocking assembly 310 is fixed on the bracket 330 and does not move, and the photoelectric sensor 380 and the sensing sheet 390 detect whether the unlocking assembly 310 is accurately inserted into the unlocking station of the carrier.
[0063] Figure 6 FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a rotating lifting mechanism, a check assembly, and a blocking mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0064] Referring to Figure 6As shown, in order to meet the product processing requirements, the automated production line includes a rotary lifting mechanism 400, which is arranged on the first conveyor line 100 to form a rotary lifting station. The rotary lifting mechanism 400 includes a support seat 410, a Y-direction moving module 420 arranged on the support seat 410, a slide plate 430 arranged on the Y-direction moving module 420, a lifting mechanism 440 arranged on the slide plate 430, a rotating mechanism 450 arranged on the lifting mechanism 440, and a second carrier lifting plate 460 arranged on the rotating mechanism 450. Specifically, the support seat 410 is fixed to the frame 110 or the ground of the first conveyor line 100. The Y-direction moving module 420 is used to drive the slide plate 430 to move along the Y direction, which can be an existing screw moving module. The lifting mechanism 440 is used to drive the rotating mechanism 450 to move up and down, and can be a lifting cylinder. The rotating mechanism 450 is used to drive the second carrier lifting plate 460 to rotate, so that the carrier on the first conveyor line 100 is lifted by the second carrier lifting plate 460 to separate from the first conveyor line 100 and then rotated. The rotating mechanism 450 can be a rotary cylinder and is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the rotating lifting mechanism 400 realizes the carrier posture adjustment through a three-stage linkage action, so that the direction adjustment of the carrier can be completed without moving out of the production line. First, the Y-axis moving module 420 drives the slide plate 430 to move along the conveying direction to the precise positioning directly below the carrier; then the lifting mechanism 440 drives the rotating mechanism 450 and the second carrier lifting plate 460 to lift vertically, so that the carrier is out of contact with the conveyor line; finally, the rotating mechanism 450 drives the lifting plate to drive the carrier to rotate horizontally to a specific angle, such as 90° or 180°. With this arrangement, the rotating lifting mechanism 400 completes the carrier steering operation in situ on the first conveyor line 100, eliminating the need for additional transfer paths or dedicated rotation stations.
[0065] Figure 7 is a perspective view of a jacking and passing station mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of a jacking and passing station mechanism according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0066] See Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the automated production line includes a lifting and passing station mechanism 500, which is arranged on the first conveyor line 100 to form a lifting and passing station station. The lifting and transiting mechanism 500 includes a transiting drive mechanism 510, a carrier mounting frame 520, and a third carrier lifting plate 530. The frame 110 is provided with a transiting drive mechanism 510 on both sides of the synchronous belt 123. The carrier mounting frame 520 is disposed between each transiting drive mechanism 510 and is provided with at least two support beams 521. The transiting drive mechanism 510 is used to drive the carrier mounting frame 520 up and down, and the third carrier lifting plate 530 is located directly above the support beams 521. In the initial state, at least a portion of the support beams 521 is disposed within the recess 124 and the clearance groove 111, and the carrier lifting plate is disposed below the synchronous belt 123. When the transiting drive mechanism 510 drives the carrier mounting frame 520 upward, the third carrier lifting plate 530 is supported by the support beams 521 and is located above the synchronous belt 123. The technical solution of this embodiment can realize the temporary storage and avoidance functions of the carrier. The synchronous belt 123 of the synchronous belt mechanism 120 is affected by the lower synchronous wheel 122 to form a recess 124, and the frame 110 is provided with a corresponding give way groove 111. The support beam 521 of the carrier mounting frame 520 of the jacking-up station mechanism 500 is embedded in the recess 124 and the give way groove 111, so that the third carrier lifting plate 530 is hidden under the synchronous belt 123, ensuring the integrity of the carrier conveying plane. The provision of at least two support beams 521 can disperse the lifting stress and avoid deformation due to single-point force; the station-passing driving mechanism 510 pushes the carrier mounting frame 520 to make the support beam 521 rise in the recess 124, thereby lifting the third carrier lifting plate 530 above the conveying plane; then, the carrier carried by the third carrier lifting plate 530 is separated from the synchronous belt 123 and rises to a high position, realizing the rapid lifting, temporary storage and avoidance functions of the carrier on the first conveyor line 100.
[0067] Figure 9 is a perspective view of a second lifting mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0068] like Figure 9As shown, the automated production line includes a second lifting mechanism 600, which is arranged on the first conveyor line 100 to form a lifting station. The second lifting mechanism 600 includes a second lifting drive mechanism 610 arranged on the frame 110 of the first conveyor line 100 and a fourth carrier lifting plate 620 of the piston rod arranged on the second lifting drive mechanism 610. The fourth carrier lifting plate 620 is arranged on the first conveyor line 100, and the second lifting drive mechanism 610 is used to drive the fourth carrier lifting plate 620 to move upward so that the carrier on the first conveyor line 100 is lifted and separated by the fourth carrier lifting plate 620. When the carrier is transported to the designated station of the first conveyor line 100, the second lifting drive mechanism 610 of the second lifting mechanism 600 drives the fourth carrier lifting plate 620 to move vertically upward, penetrates the gap in the conveying surface and directly lifts the carrier, so that it is completely separated from the bearing surface of the first conveyor line 100. The carrier hovers at a predetermined height and maintains the state. After avoidance, inspection or manual operation is completed, the second lifting drive mechanism 610 drives the carrier back to the first conveyor line 100.
[0069] Figure 10 is a perspective view of a light source assembly and a docking device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0070] like Figure 10 As shown, the automated production line includes a light source assembly 700, which is arranged on the first conveyor line 100 to form a visual inspection station. The light source assembly 700 includes a light source bracket 710 arranged on the frame 110 and a plurality of visual light sources 720 arranged on the light source bracket 710. The light source bracket 710 is arranged across the upper area of the fourth carrier lifting plate 620. Each visual light source 720 is arranged around the upper area of the fourth carrier lifting plate 620 to provide multi-angle lighting to the carrier and product lifted by the fourth carrier lifting plate 620. After the carrier is lifted to the hovering position by the second lifting mechanism 600, the annular visual light source 720 group of the light source assembly 700 arranged above the fourth carrier lifting plate 620 is started synchronously to project a uniform light field from multiple angles. The light covers the entire surface of the carrier, eliminating detection blind spots and providing a sufficient lighting environment for the machine vision system to support visual inspection.
[0071] like Figure 6As shown, the automated production line includes a blocking mechanism 800 and a non-return assembly 900 arranged on the first conveyor line 100. The blocking mechanism 800 is arranged downstream of the rotary lifting station, the jacking-through station, the jacking station and / or the visual inspection station of the first conveyor line 100, and the non-return assembly 900 is arranged upstream of the station, that is, it is arranged in a group with the blocking mechanism 800 at the upstream and downstream of a processing station. The blocking mechanism 800 includes a blocking block 810 and a blocking drive mechanism 820 that drives the blocking block 810 to move up and down. The blocking block 810 is used to block the carrier on the first conveyor line 100 from moving along the conveying direction. The blocking drive mechanism 820 can be a cylinder, which is fixed to the frame 110 of the first conveyor line 100, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to the blocking block 810. The non-return assembly 900 includes a non-return base 910 fixedly mounted on a support base, a non-return block 920 rotatably mounted on the non-return base 910, and a non-return spring 930 disposed between the non-return base 910 and the non-return block 920. The non-return block 920 is provided with an inclined surface 940 inclined from bottom to top to a horizontal plane along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 100. In the initial state, the non-return base 910 prevents the non-return block 920 from rotating in a first rotation direction. When the carrier on the first conveyor line 100 moves along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 100 to the non-return block 920, the inclined surface 940 of the non-return block 920 is pushed to rotate in a second rotation direction to avoid, and the non-return spring 930 is elastically deformed. When the non-return block 920 passes through the carrier, the non-return spring 930 drives the non-return block 920 to reset, wherein the second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction. When the carrier moves in the reverse direction, the non-return block 920 contacts the non-return base 910 to form a rigid block. According to the technical solution of this embodiment, when the position detection device 130 of the first conveyor line 100 detects that the carrier enters the rotary lifting station, the jacking-over station, the jacking station or the visual inspection station, at the same time, the non-return assembly 900 can prevent the carrier from moving in the opposite direction on the first conveyor line 100 due to rebound or other operations. The carrier pushes the inclined surface 940 of the non-return block 920 to rotate downward, compressing the non-return spring 930, and driving the non-return block 920 to reset instantly through the rear non-return spring 930; when the carrier moves backward, the non-return block 920 is rigidly abutted against the non-return base 910 to form a mechanical interlock. At the same time, the blocking mechanism 800 of the corresponding station works, and the blocking drive mechanism 820 drives the blocking block 810 to move upward, pausing the carrier at the station, so that the carrier is limited between the blocking block 810 and the non-return block 920.
[0072] The above-mentioned rotating lifting mechanism 400, lifting and passing station mechanism 500, second lifting mechanism 600 and light source assembly 700 can be set separately or simultaneously on the first conveyor line 100 to meet different production needs.
[0073] It is understandable that the first conveyor line 100 and the second conveyor line 200 can be composed of a plurality of conveyor lines. The reciprocating components and mechanisms can ensure the linearity of movement and the smoothness of mechanism operation through high-precision lead screw guides.
[0074] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automated production line operates as follows: a carrier is placed onto the conveying mechanism 340 of the docking device 300 on the second output station 202 of the second conveyor line 200. Subsequently, the conveying mechanism 340, driven by the lifting mechanism 350, ascends to the first conveyor line 100, where the unlocking assembly 310 unlocks the carrier. After unlocking, the empty carrier is placed into the first conveyor line 100, and the carrier is raised to a position opposite the first input station 101. The carrier is then transported to the first conveyor line 100 via the conveying mechanism 340. On the first conveying mechanism 340, the carrier is first stopped and paused by the first blocking mechanism 800. It then enters the rotary lifting station, where it is restrained by a set of blocking mechanisms 800 and a check assembly 900. It is then lifted and rotated by the rotary lifting mechanism 400, allowing the product to be cleaned. The carrier then returns to the first conveyor line 100 and is lifted by the first and second lifting mechanisms 600, allowing the product to be ion-dried. The carrier is then restrained by another set of blocking mechanisms 800 and non-return assemblies 900 and then lifted by the second lifting mechanism 600 for product assembly. After product assembly, it is again restrained by a third set of blocking mechanisms 800 and non-return assemblies 900 and flows into the lifting and transit mechanism 500, where it is lifted for the pressure-holding process. After the product is pressure-held, the carrier enters the visual inspection station, where it is first restrained by the third set of blocking mechanisms 800 and non-return assemblies 900 and then lifted by the third second lifting mechanism 600. The light source assembly 700 provides light for product dimensional and appearance inspection. Finally, the carrier enters the conveying mechanism 340 of another docking device 300 from the first output station 102, the unlocking component 310 unlocks the carrier, the product is taken away, and the carrier is driven by the lifting mechanism 350 to lower the conveying mechanism 340 to the second input station 201 and flow into the second conveyor line 200. The carrier is transported to the second output station 202 through the second conveyor line 200 and the carrier is returned.

The aforementioned mechanism utilizes a purely mechanical motion mechanism, resulting in high-precision product processing and smooth movement, adapting to high-speed, high-efficiency production.
