DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The specific embodiments of the application will be described below in combination with the drawings.

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the bidirectional conveying and storage sorting intelligent equipment for plate parts in the embodiment comprises a support base 2, a plurality of storage bins 6 are arranged on both sides of the support base 2 along a first direction, a conveying mechanism 5 composed of a plurality of roller shafts is arranged on the support base 2, and the conveying mechanism 5 conveys the plate parts 10 in the positive direction or the reverse direction of the first direction; a storage bin access mechanism 3 corresponding to the storage bin 6 is arranged on the support base 2 below the roller shaft, the transfer rod 35 of the storage bin access mechanism 3 penetrates the roller shaft upward and exerts force on the plate part 10, drives the plate part 10 to move in a second direction, and transfers the position of the plate part 10 between the conveying mechanism 5 and the storage bin 6, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; further comprising an outer shell 1, the outer shell 1 is circumferentially and top-enclosed, the outer shell 1 is provided with an access port 11 corresponding to the two ends of the conveying mechanism 5 on the two sides in the first direction, and the plate part 10 enters or leaves the conveying mechanism 5 through the access port 11.

[0025] In the embodiment, the storage bin 6 is arranged on both sides of the support base 2 in sequence, the storage bin access mechanism 3 and the conveying mechanism 5 are arranged on the support base 2, and the outer shell 1 and the access port 11 thereon are arranged, so that the bidirectional conveying and three-dimensional storage of the plate part 10 are realized.

[0026] In the embodiment, the storage bin access mechanism 3 is arranged on the support base 2 below the conveying mechanism 5, the transfer rod 35 of the storage bin access mechanism 3 can penetrate between the roller shafts and exert force on the plate part 10, the transfer of the plate part 10 is realized, and a separate grabbing and transferring mechanism does not need to be additionally arranged, the structure is simplified, and the design and layout are ingenious.

[0027] The opposite edges of the top surface of the support base 2 are respectively supported and installed with a support plate 21, a plurality of roller shafts are sequentially installed on the support plate 21 along the length direction and are commonly rotated in order, so that a space for arranging the storage bin access mechanism 3 is left on the top surface of the support base 2 below the roller shafts, and the compactness of the overall structure is assisted.

[0028] In the embodiment, the roller shafts can be rotated according to the direction requirements of the plate part 10 in and out, and the forward rotation or the reverse rotation is performed, so that the bidirectional conveying of the plate part 10 is realized.

[0029] As shown, Figure 4 The structure of a single set of storage bin access mechanisms 3 comprises a translation driving power 31 installed on the support base 2, a translation seat 32 is installed on the output part of the translation driving power 31, a lifting seat 34 is slidingly fitted on the side surface of the translation seat 32, the lifting seat 34 is driven by a lifting driving power 33 to ascend or descend relative to the translation seat 32; a plurality of transfer rods 35 are installed on the side surface of the lifting seat 34.

[0030] In this embodiment, the operation of the translational drive 31 drives the plate 10 to move horizontally between the conveying mechanism 5 and the storage bin 6; the operation of the lifting drive 33 drives the transfer rod 35 to move upward to contact the supporting plate 10 or downward to detach from the plate 10 via the lifting seat 34; thus, the combined action of the translational drive 31 and the lifting drive 33 enables the transfer of the plate 10 between the conveying mechanism 5 and the storage bin 6 by the in-and-out bin mechanism 3, and complete in-and-out bin operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the translational drive power 31 can be a linear module, and the lifting drive power 33 can be a cylinder.

[0032] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the process of transferring the plate 10 on the conveying mechanism 5 to the storage bin 6 by the in-and-out bin mechanism 3 can be as follows: the lifting drive 33 works, causing the lifting seat 34 to drive the transfer rod 35 upward and close to support the plate 10. Then the translation drive 31 works, and along the direction of the arrow in the figure, the transfer rod 35 pushes the plate 10 toward the storage bin 6 until the plate 10 moves into the storage bin 6. The lifting drive 33 works in the opposite direction, and the lifting seat 34 drives the transfer rod 35 downward so that the plate 10 is supported in the storage bin 6. The transfer rod 35 moves downward and disengages from the plate 10. Finally, the translation drive 31 works in the opposite direction so that the transfer rod 35 moves back to the inside of the conveying mechanism 5.

[0033] The transfer rods 35 are arranged in parallel at the intervals between adjacent rollers. Each transfer rod 35 extends upward along its length to form a pair of limiting blocks 36. The spacing between the limiting blocks 36 is consistent with the size of the plate 10 in the second direction, so that the plate 10 can be limited on both sides by the matching of the pair of limiting blocks 36. The plate 10 is moved by the operation of the translation drive 31. The opposing walls of the pair of limiting blocks 36 form an upwardly outward inclined surface or a curved surface, which facilitates the limiting support when the transfer rod 35 approaches the plate 10 and the smooth movement when it leaves the plate 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, transfer rods 35 with different spacing limit blocks 36 can be set to match according to usage and storage requirements, such as the size of plate 10 and the preset storage size of storage compartment 6.

[0035] Storage compartments 6 are arranged in pairs facing each other on both sides of the support base 2 in the second direction. The two inbound and outbound mechanisms 3 corresponding to the paired storage compartments 6 are arranged side by side on the support base 2 in the first direction. The transfer rods 35 of the two inbound and outbound mechanisms 3 are arranged alternately in the first direction. In addition to realizing and satisfying the transfer of plates 10 between the two storage compartments 6 and the conveying mechanism 5, it also realizes and helps to improve the space utilization rate of the overall layout of the equipment.

[0042] A plurality of stop pieces 4 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 5, and the stop positions of the stop pieces 4 correspond to the two side storage bins 6.

[0043] In this embodiment, the stop piece 4 can be a limiting plate driven by a linear driving power such as a pneumatic cylinder and movable up and down. When the limiting plate is at a high position, it extends upward from the conveying mechanism 5 to stop the board piece 10 conveyed on the conveying mechanism 5, and when the limiting plate is at a low position, it is retracted below the conveying mechanism 5 without affecting the normal and smooth conveying of the board piece 10 on the conveying mechanism 5.

[0044] The identification device is arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 5 close to the import and export 11, and the plate 10 is identified by the identification device.

[0045] In the embodiment, the plate 10 subjected to the taking and placing operation can be identified by using the code scanning device and the induction device commonly used in automatic production, so as to be classified and accessed according to different models, sizes, thicknesses and the like.

[0046] In the embodiment, the fan filter unit can be arranged on the top surface of the outer shell 1 according to the cleanliness requirement, so as to guarantee the cleanliness of the preset area.

[0047] In the embodiment, the warning light, the light strip and the buzzer can be arranged according to the actual requirement, so that the personnel can know the situation in time.
