Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material sorting and transfer technology, and in particular to an I-beam wheel transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, I-beam reels, as carriers of materials such as cables and metal wires, play a crucial role in improving production efficiency through their sorting and transfer processes.

[0003] In existing technologies, for both non-finished and finished I-beams conveyed from the upstream workstation's unloading conveyor line, the non-finished I-beams are manually moved from the unloading conveyor line to a forklift. Given the significant weight of the I-beams, workers need to use lifting equipment to move them. This process involves long-distance transfers and is prone to accidents such as I-beams falling, causing personal injury. Therefore, manual handling of I-beams poses a high safety hazard. Furthermore, the manual handling process is slow, time-consuming, and inefficient, leading to the accumulation of non-finished I-beams on the unloading conveyor line. This hinders the smooth transport of finished I-beams, slowing down the packing cycle of finished I-beams and ultimately affecting overall production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, the above problems urgently need to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an I-beam transfer device to solve the problem that manual handling of non-finished I-beams from the unloading conveyor line to the forklift poses high safety hazards. Moreover, the manual handling process is slow, time-consuming, and inefficient, which leads to the accumulation of non-finished I-beams on the unloading conveyor line, thereby hindering the smooth transport of finished I-beams. This results in a slower packing cycle of finished I-beams and ultimately affects the overall production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The I-beam wheel transfer device includes:

[0008] The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor line, and the flipping mechanism is located downstream of the conveyor line and includes a platform and a first drive member. The conveyor line is configured to receive the I-beams sorted out by the upstream station and convey the I-beams to the platform. The first drive member is configured to flip the platform about a first axis so that the I-beams change from an upright position to a flat position.

[0009] The receiving mechanism includes a conveying component and a ground rail. The conveying component is configured to pick up the I-beams in a flat position from the platform and stack the I-beams one by one on the ground rail in a flat position.

[0010] Preferably, a first limit switch is provided on the downstream side of the conveyor line, and the I-beam wheel that is conveyed to the flipping mechanism can trigger the first limit switch.

[0011] Preferably, the platform includes a first support platform and a second support platform, the first support platform and the second support platform being arranged at an angle, and the platform having a first working position where the first support platform is in a horizontal orientation and a second working position where the second support platform is in a horizontal orientation; wherein:

[0012] The first support platform, which is in a horizontal position, is docked to the downstream side of the conveyor line. The first drive unit can drive the first support platform to rotate around the first axis toward the side away from the conveyor line, so that the platform can be switched from the first working position to the second working position.

[0013] Preferably, a first stop is provided on the side of the second support platform away from the first support platform, and the first stop is configured to stop the I-beam wheel on the side of the second support platform away from the first support platform.

[0014] Preferably, the second support platform is provided with second stop members on both sides along the extension direction of the first axis, and the second stop members are configured to stop the I-beam wheel along the extension direction of the first axis.

[0015] Preferably, a second limit switch is also provided on the downstream side of the conveyor line, and the first support platform in a horizontal position can trigger the second limit switch.

[0016] Preferably, the flipping mechanism further includes a proximity switch, which is triggered when the second supporting platform flips to a horizontal position.

[0017] Preferably, the transport assembly includes a second drive member, a third drive member, a fourth drive member, and a rod. The second drive member is configured to drive the rod to move vertically. The third drive member is configured to drive the rod to move horizontally in a first horizontal direction, which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first axis. The fourth drive member is configured to drive the rod to move horizontally in a second horizontal direction, which is at an angle to the first horizontal direction. The ground rail is disposed on one side of the platform along the second horizontal direction.

[0018] Preferably, the receiving mechanism further includes a fifth driving member configured to drive the ground rail to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0019] Preferably, the ground rail is provided with a loading groove that extends along the first horizontal direction and the depth of the loading groove is less than the radius of the I-beam wheel. The I-beam wheel can be placed in the loading groove with its axial direction parallel to the first horizontal direction.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0021] In this invention, a conveying mechanism transports non-finished I-beams to a flipping mechanism, which adjusts the I-beams to a flat position. A receiving mechanism then stacks the I-beams one by one in this flat position, forming a row of I-beams, which are then easily retrieved by workers using forklifts. This invention avoids the need for manual long-distance handling of the I-beams, reducing the probability of accidents such as I-beam falls and improving safety. Simultaneously, the I-beam transfer device enables automated transfer of the I-beams, significantly improving transfer efficiency, effectively preventing the accumulation of non-finished I-beams, ensuring the smooth transport of finished I-beams, guaranteeing the stability of the finished I-beam packing cycle, and ultimately greatly improving overall production efficiency.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This embodiment provides an I-beam wheel transfer device, which includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a flipping mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying line 11, and the flipping mechanism 2 is disposed on the downstream side of the conveying line 11 and includes a platform 21 and a first driving member 22.

[0041] In this embodiment, the conveyor line 11 is configured to receive the I-beams 100 sorted from the upstream station and transport them to the platform 21. The first drive unit 22 is configured to rotate the platform 21 around a first axis, so that the I-beams 100 change from an upright position to a flat position. That is, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 11 transports the I-beams 100 in an upright position, thereby ensuring that the I-beams 100 can move stably with the conveyor line 11. When the I-beams 100 are transported to the rotating mechanism 2, the rotating mechanism 2 rotates the I-beams 100, thereby adjusting the I-beams 100 to a flat position.

[0042] Specifically, the upstream side of the conveyor line 11 can be connected to the downstream side of the unloading conveyor line 11 (not shown in the figure) of the upstream station. Thus, the non-finished H-beam 100 can be moved from the upstream station to the conveyor line 11 of the conveying mechanism 1 by manual labor or a special transfer module, and then conveyed to the flipping mechanism 2 by the conveyor line 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the I-beam transfer device also includes a receiving mechanism 3, which includes a conveying component 31 and a ground rail 321. The conveying component 31 is configured to pick up the I-beams 100 in a flat position from the platform 21 and stack the I-beams 100 one by one on the ground rail 321 in a flat position, so that they are arranged in a row on the ground rail 321, thereby enabling workers to directly drive a forklift to take away a row of I-beams 100 from the ground rail 321.

[0044] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 transports the non-finished I-beams 100 to the flipping mechanism 2, which adjusts the I-beams 100 to a flat position. The receiving mechanism 3 then stacks the I-beams 100 one by one in a flat position, forming a row of I-beams 100, which is then suitable for workers to directly pick up with a forklift. Therefore, this embodiment avoids the need for manual long-distance handling of the I-beams 100, reducing the probability of accidents such as the I-beams 100 falling, thus improving safety. Simultaneously, the I-beam transfer device enables automated transfer of the I-beams 100, significantly improving transfer efficiency, effectively preventing the accumulation of non-finished I-beams 100, ensuring the smooth transport of finished I-beams 100, guaranteeing the stability of the packing cycle of finished I-beams 100, and ultimately greatly improving overall production efficiency.

[0045] It is understandable that even if the non-finished H-beam 100 is manually moved from the upstream station to the conveyor line 11 of the conveying mechanism 1, since the upstream side of the conveyor line 11 of the conveying mechanism 1 can be designed to connect with the downstream side of the unloading conveyor line 11 of the upstream station, the manual labor only needs to move the H-beam 100 over a short distance, without having to move the H-beam 100 over a long distance.

[0046] Based on the above description, the platform 21 includes a first support platform 211 and a second support platform 212. The first support platform 211 and the second support platform 212 are arranged at an angle. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support platform 211 and the second support platform 212 are arranged vertically. The platform 21 has a first working position in which the first support platform 211 is in a horizontal posture and a second working position in which the second support platform 212 is in a horizontal posture.

[0047] The first support platform 211, which is in a horizontal position, is connected to the downstream side of the conveyor line 11. The first drive unit 22 can drive the first support platform 211 to rotate around the first axis toward the side away from the conveyor line 11, so that the platform 21 can switch from the first working position to the second working position.

[0048] That is, in this embodiment, when the platform 21 is in the first working position, the first support platform 211 is connected to the downstream side of the conveyor line 11, so that the conveyor line 11 can transport the I-beam 100 to the first support platform 211. After the I-beam 100 is transported to the first support platform 211, the platform 21 rotates 90° to switch from the first working position to the second working position. When the platform 21 is in the second working position, the first support platform 211 is upright, while the second support platform 212 is in a horizontal position. Thus, the I-beam 100 is placed on the second support platform 212, and the I-beam 100 switches to a flat position.

[0049] Understandably, after the receiving mechanism 3 removes the I-beam 100 from the platform 21, the platform 21 rotates 90° to reset to the first working position to receive the next I-beam 100.

[0050] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 further includes a frame 12, and the conveying line 11 is installed on the frame 12 and used to convey the I-beam reel 100.

[0051] Additionally, exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first driving member 22 is a linear cylinder, and a rotating plate 24 is mounted on the movable end of the first driving member 22. Specifically, the movable end of the first driving member 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 24 via a first rotating shaft 251. Furthermore, the other end of the first driving member 22 away from its movable end is rotatably connected to the frame 12 via a second rotating shaft 252, and the platform 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 12 via a third rotating shaft 253. The first rotating shaft 251, the second rotating shaft 252, and the third rotating shaft 253 are all parallel, and the axis of the third rotating shaft 253 is the first axis mentioned above.

[0052] Therefore, with the axis of the first rotating shaft 251 as the second axis and the axis of the second rotating shaft 252 as the third axis, when the movable end of the first driving member 22 extends, the movable end of the first driving member 22 rotates around the second axis, and the other end of the first driving member 22 away from its movable end rotates around the third axis, thereby pushing the platform 21 to rotate around the first axis and causing the platform 21 to rotate from the first working position to the second working position. Conversely, when the movable end of the first driving member 22 retracts, the movable end of the first driving member 22 rotates around the second axis, and the other end of the first driving member 22 away from its movable end rotates around the third axis, thereby pulling the platform 21 to rotate around the first axis and causing the platform 21 to rotate from the second working position to the first working position.

[0053] Furthermore, a first stop 213 is provided on the side of the second support platform 212 away from the first support platform 211. The first stop 213 is configured to stop the I-beam wheel 100 on the side of the second support platform 212 away from the first support platform 211. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first stop 213 is a stop plate. When the platform 21 rotates to the second working position, the first stop 213 can stop the I-beam wheel 100 to prevent the I-beam wheel 100 from falling off the platform 21.

[0054] Furthermore, the second support platform 212 is provided with second stop members 214 on both sides along the extension direction of the first axis. The second stop members 214 are configured to stop the I-beam wheel 100 along the extension direction of the first axis. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first stop member 213 is a stop bar, and the two second stop members 214 can work together to prevent the I-beam wheel 100 from rolling along the extension direction of the first axis, thereby further preventing the I-beam wheel 100 from falling off the platform 21.

[0055] In addition, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, a first limit switch 111 is provided on the downstream side of the conveyor line 11. The I-beam 100 conveyed to the flipping mechanism 2 can trigger the first limit switch 111. The first limit switch 111 can detect in real time and accurately whether the I-beam 100 has been conveyed to the flipping mechanism 2, so that the flipping mechanism 2 can be started when the I-beam 100 is conveyed to the designated position, so as to flip the I-beam 100 to a flat position, thereby further improving the transfer efficiency and further improving the production efficiency.

[0056] Moreover, when the first limit switch 111 is triggered, the trigger signal can be fed back to the control system of the conveyor line 11, thereby pausing the subsequent conveying of the I-beam 100 to the flipping mechanism 2, thus avoiding collisions and other problems caused by multiple I-beams 100 entering the flipping mechanism 2, and thus ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the flipping and handling process of a single I-beam 100.

[0057] It is understood that the specific structure and working principle of the first limit switch 111 are existing technologies, therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on them.

[0058] In addition, a second limit switch 112 is provided on the downstream side of the conveyor line 11, which can be triggered by the first support platform 211 in a horizontal position. It is understood that the second limit switch 112 is located downstream of the first limit switch 111. When the first support platform 211 is in a horizontal position and docked with the downstream side of the conveyor line 11, the first support platform 211 triggers the second limit switch 112, indicating that the first support platform 211 is accurately in place. At this time, the trigger signal of the second limit switch 112 can be fed back to the control system of the conveyor line 11 to enable the conveyor line 11 to resume operation and convey the next I-beam 100 to the flipping mechanism 2.

[0059] It is understood that the specific structure and working principle of the second limit switch 112 are existing technologies, therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on them.

[0060] In addition, the flipping mechanism 2 also includes a proximity switch 23. The second support platform 212 can trigger the proximity switch 23 when it is flipped to a horizontal position. The proximity switch 23 can accurately detect whether the second support platform 212 has been flipped into position and is in a horizontal position. When the proximity switch 23 is triggered, the signal it generates can be transmitted to the control system of the receiving mechanism 3, so that the conveying component 31 can start to pick up the I-beam 100 when the second support platform 212 is flipped into position, thereby further improving the accuracy and stability of the entire I-beam transfer device and ensuring the smooth operation of the entire transfer process.

[0061] It is understood that the specific structure and working principle of the proximity switch 23 are existing technologies, therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on them.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 31 includes a second driving member 311, a third driving member 312, a fourth driving member 313, and a insertion rod 314. The second driving member 311 is configured to drive the insertion rod 314 to move in a vertical direction, and the third driving member 312 is configured to drive the insertion rod 314 to move in a first horizontal direction, which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first axis. Thus, the third driving member 312 can drive the insertion rod 314 to be inserted into the center hole 101 of the I-beam wheel 100. The fourth driving member 313 is configured to drive the insertion rod 314 to move in a second horizontal direction, which is set at an angle to the first horizontal direction. Moreover, the ground rail 321 is disposed on one side of the platform 21 along the second horizontal direction.

[0063] Therefore, in this embodiment, the second driving member 311 and the fourth driving member 313 work together to adjust the position of the insertion rod 314 so that it is aligned with the center hole 101 of the I-beam wheel 100. When the platform 21 is flipped to a horizontal position on the second support platform 212, the third driving member 312 drives the insertion rod 314 to move toward the I-beam wheel 100 along the first horizontal direction, so that the insertion rod 314 is inserted into the center hole 101 of the I-beam wheel 100. Then, the second driving member 311 and the fourth driving member 313 work together to remove the I-beam wheel 100 from the platform 21 through the insertion rod 314 and place it on the ground rail 321. After that, the third driving member 312 drives the insertion rod 314 to move in the opposite direction along the first horizontal direction, so that the insertion rod 314 is pulled out from the I-beam wheel 100.

[0064] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism 3 also includes a fifth driving member 33, which is configured to drive the ground rail 321 to move along the first horizontal direction. Specifically, the ground rail 321 is slidably connected to the base 322, and the base 322 is fixedly installed on the ground. The fifth driving member 33 can drive the ground rail 321 to move along the first horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the position of the ground rail 321 along the first horizontal direction, so that the conveying assembly 31 can stack the I-beams 100 one by one on the ground rail 321 and arrange them in a row.

[0065] As described above, in this embodiment, the position of the ground rail 321 is adjusted by the fifth driving member 33, rather than by the third driving member 312 adjusting the position of the I-beam 100 along the first horizontal direction. This allows the I-beam 100 to be stacked one by one on the ground rail 321. Based on this, this embodiment can reduce the travel of the third driving member 312, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the handling component 31.

[0066] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the fifth driving member 33 may not be provided. Instead, the position of the I-beam 100 may be adjusted along the first horizontal direction by the third driving member 312, thereby realizing the stacking of the I-beam 100 one by one on the ground rail 321. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0067] In addition, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, the second driving member 311, the third driving member 312, the fourth driving member 313 and the fifth driving member 33 can all be selected as linear drive structures such as cylinders, electric cylinders or KK modules, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on them.

[0068] Furthermore, based on the above, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, the ground rail 321 is provided with a loading groove 3211, which extends along the first horizontal direction and has a depth less than the radius of the I-beam wheel 100. The I-beam wheel 100 can be placed in the loading groove 3211 with its axial direction parallel to the first horizontal direction. Thus, several I-beam wheels 100 can be stacked in the loading groove 3211 and arranged in a row. Moreover, only a small portion of the wheel surface of the I-beam wheel 100 is contained within the loading groove 3211.

[0069] Thus, the worker can drive the forklift and adjust the fork arms to the appropriate position in the vertical direction. Then, the worker can drive the forklift along the extension direction of the loading slot 3211 (i.e., the length direction of the loading slot 3211) to insert the fork arms of the forklift under a row of I-beams 100. Fork arms are inserted on both sides of the row of I-beams 100 along the width direction of the loading slot 3211. Then, the worker can lift the fork arms in the vertical direction to lift and remove the row of I-beams 100 as a whole.

[0070] For example, in this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 includes two ground rails 321, which are arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction. The conveying component 31 can sequentially place a row of I-beams 100 onto the two ground rails 321.

[0071] Based on the above, it can be understood that the forklift can be configured to include three forks, thereby enabling the simultaneous lifting of two rows of I-beams 100. Specifically, the middle fork can be inserted between the two rows of I-beams 100, while the two outer forks can be inserted on opposite sides of the two rows of I-beams 100 respectively.

[0072] Of course, in other optional embodiments, the receiving mechanism 3 may include only one ground rail 321, or the receiving mechanism 3 may include three or four or more ground rails 321. Accordingly, based on the above, the number of fork arms of the forklift only needs to be set to be one more than the number of ground rails 321. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0073] Furthermore, all ground rails 321 are equipped with anti-collision frames 323, which are elastic frames to prevent workers from driving forklifts directly into the base 322.

[0074] In addition, it is worth noting that during the process of stacking the I-beams 100 on the transport component 31, workers can also call other workers to drive a forklift to remove the I-beams 100 that have been stacked on the ground rail 321 by using the material call button located near the ground rail 321.

[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
