Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive trim conveying technology, and more particularly to a conveying device for automotive trim processing. Background Technology
[0002] Overhead conveyors are a type of automated conveying device widely used in industrial production. They are mainly used to transport materials, semi-finished products, or finished products within workshops. Utilizing the advantages of three-dimensional closed-loop continuous conveying, they are suitable for the automated transport of items within and between workshops.
[0003] In automotive assembly lines, to reduce the cost of conveying devices and improve the space utilization of overhead conveyors, trim pieces required for multiple assembly stations are typically placed on the same overhead conveyor. When the trim pieces are plate-like structures, such as automotive spoilers, they are often arranged in a dense, parallel pattern before being transported from the trim workshop to various assembly stations on the final assembly line. However, on highly automated production lines, this placement method creates numerous inconveniences for subsequent pre-assembly visual inspection. Visual scanning equipment struggles to directly scan adjacent surfaces of two trim pieces, resulting in blind spots in some areas and potentially allowing defective products to be missed and installed on the vehicle. Furthermore, this dense, parallel arrangement makes it difficult for workers and robotic arms to handle trim pieces, as they may bump into adjacent pieces, increasing operational difficulty and time, and reducing production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to address the issues of inconvenience for visual scanning equipment and the difficulty in handling trim pieces caused by the dense, parallel arrangement, while simultaneously improving space utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the disadvantages of densely parallel arrangement, which makes it difficult for appearance scanning equipment to scan the ornaments and makes it difficult to pick up and put down the ornaments, the present invention provides a conveying device for automotive ornament processing. After the device conveys the ornaments to the inspection station, it can drive multiple densely parallel ornaments to disperse and rotate outward, so that the scanning equipment can perform a comprehensive scan and inspection of the appearance of the ornaments, and increase the operating space when picking up the ornaments.
[0005] A conveying device for processing automotive accessories includes a conveyor frame, a conveyor track fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, a hanger movable along the conveyor track, a conveyor plate hinged to the hanger, two support plates fixedly connected to the conveyor plate, multiple sliding plates movable in the vertical direction on the support plates, the multiple sliding plates being distributed in the vertical direction, a support ring fixedly connected to the sliding plate, a flip plate rotatably connected to the support ring, a support seat for supporting accessories fixedly connected to the flip plate, and a clamp for clamping accessories on the flip plate. During the process of the sliding plate moving downward to disperse the accessories, the flip plate can rotate the accessories to facilitate scanning their appearance, and after the flip plate completes rotation, the clamp automatically releases to facilitate the removal of defective accessories.
[0006] To further explain, each bearing plate is equipped with four sliding plates. The four sliding plates are equally spaced along the vertical direction when they are not dispersed or when they are fully dispersed, and the sliding stroke of the four sliding plates gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0007] Further explanation: It also includes a clamping assembly for driving the clamps to clamp the jewelry. The clamping assembly includes a sliding frame, each sliding frame is slidably disposed on a sliding plate, and a push shaft is rotatably connected to the sliding frame. The push shaft passes through an adjacent flip plate and is fixedly connected to the corresponding clamp.
[0008] To further clarify, the push axis and the flip plate are splined.
[0009] To further explain, the clamping assembly also includes a first support rod, two first support rods are fixed to the conveyor plate, four push rods are fixed to the first support rod, and push blocks are fixed to the slide frame. Each push rod corresponds to a push block. The push rod is used to squeeze the push block to drive the clamp closer to the ornament on the carrier. The length of the push rod gradually increases with the stroke of the corresponding slide plate. A first spring is sleeved on the guide rod of the slide frame to push it to reset.
[0010] To further explain, the four push rods on the same No. 1 support rod are distributed in a staggered manner, with the two bottom push rods having overlapping staggered parts. The push blocks corresponding to the push rods are also staggered, so that the push blocks can only be squeezed and pushed by their corresponding push rods.
[0011] Further explanation: It also includes an elastic telescopic rod and a locking push rod to ensure that only one piece of jewelry is released and clamped at the same time. One end of the elastic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the sliding plate, and a locking push rod is slidably connected to each sliding plate. The locking push rod is used to push the sliding frame closer to the jewelry. The other end of the elastic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the upper locking push rod, and the elastic telescopic rod is in an inclined state when multiple sliding plates are not dispersed.
[0012] To further explain, it also includes a second support rod, which is fixed to the conveyor plate. Four sets of toothed blocks are fixed to the second support rod. A bushing is fixed to the tilting plate. The push shaft passes through the bushing and engages with it via a spline. Gears are fixed to the bushing, and each gear corresponds to a set of toothed blocks.
[0013] Further explanation: It also includes a linear motor for driving the movement of the carrier plate. The linear motor includes a linear guide rail, which is fixed to the carrier plate. Four moving sliders are slidably arranged on the linear guide rail. Each moving slider corresponds to a sliding plate. Each moving slider is fixedly connected to a load plate, and each load plate is fixedly connected to a corresponding sliding plate.
[0014] To further explain, the support plate has four slides, and each slide has an inner slider that slides vertically. Each inner slider corresponds to a sliding plate and is fixedly connected to it.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When the device transports jewelry to the appearance scanning and inspection station, the sliding plate can descend step by step to disperse the jewelry, increasing the operating space when picking up the jewelry. Furthermore, the flipping plate can rotate during the dispersion process, allowing the jewelry to be completely scanned by the appearance scanning equipment. This improves space utilization and solves the defects of traditional dense parallel arrangement, which is inconvenient for appearance scanning equipment to scan jewelry and for picking up and placing jewelry. During the dispersion process of the sliding plate, the device can control the clamps of different heights to release their clamps on the jewelry in sequence, and only one jewelry is released and clamped at the same time. This avoids the situation where other jewelry falls or shifts due to collisions when picking up or placing jewelry, improves the positioning accuracy of the jewelry, and makes the device suitable for intelligent workshops with a high degree of automation.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated. However, the invention can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0026] Example 1: A conveying device for processing automotive trim, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a conveyor track 10, a conveyor chain 11, a hanger 12, rollers 13, a conveyor plate 14, a support plate 15, a conveyor frame 16, a sliding plate 20, a support ring 21, a tilting plate 22, a support seat 23, and a clamp 24. The conveyor track 10 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 16. A hanger 12, which moves along the conveyor track 10, is mounted on the conveyor track 10. Rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the hanger 12 and can roll on the conveyor track 10. A conveyor chain 11 is located on the underside of the conveyor frame 16. Through holes are provided on the chain of the conveyor chain 11 for the hanger 12 to pass through. Figure 2The assembly method of the conveyor chain 11 and the hanger 12 can be seen. The hanger 12 can move along the extension direction of the conveyor track 10 under the traction of the conveyor chain 11. The hanger 12, the conveyor track 10, the conveyor chain 11, the conveyor frame 16, and the rollers 13 are existing technologies and are commonly used conveying structures in suspended conveying devices. The specific principle can be referred to in the existing suspended conveying devices. A conveyor plate 14 is hinged to the lower side of the hanger 12. Two bearing plates 15 are symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the conveyor plate 14. Multiple sliding plates 20 are provided at the opposite ends of the two bearing plates 15. The multiple sliding plates 20 are evenly spaced in the vertical direction. The sliding plate 20 can move vertically. A support ring 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding plate 20 away from the bearing plate 15 on the same side. A flip plate 22 is rotatably connected to the support ring 21. A bearing seat 23 for supporting the jewelry is fixedly connected to the end of the flip plate 22 away from the support ring 21. A clamp 24 for clamping the jewelry is provided at the end of the flip plate 22 away from the support ring 21. During the process of the sliding plate 20 moving downward to disperse the jewelry, the flip plate 22 can rotate the jewelry to facilitate scanning the appearance. After the flip plate 22 completes the rotation, the clamp 24 will automatically release to facilitate the removal of unqualified jewelry.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, each bearing plate 15 is provided with four sliding plates 20. The four sliding plates 20 are equally spaced along the vertical direction when they are not dispersed or when they are completely dispersed. The sliding stroke of the four sliding plates 20 gradually increases from top to bottom. Taking the uppermost sliding plate 20 as an example, it can slide down one unit height. The second sliding plate 20 can slide down two units height, and the third sliding plate 20 can slide down three units height.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a linear motor for driving the movement of the support plate 15. The linear motor is existing technology. The linear motor includes a linear guide rail 60, a mover slider 61 and a load plate 62. The linear guide rail 60 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two support plates 15. Four mover sliders 61 are equidistantly slidably arranged on the linear guide rail 60. The stator structure of the linear motor is not shown in the figure. The mover sliders 61 can move along the extension direction of the linear guide rail 60 under the action of electricity and the stator. The specific principle can be referred to the linear motor in the prior art. Each mover slider 61 corresponds to a sliding plate 20. A load plate 62 is fixedly connected to each mover slider 61. Each load plate 62 is fixedly connected to a corresponding sliding plate 20.
[0029] When using this device, first control the four movable sliders 61 to drive the sliding plates 20 to descend synchronously. To facilitate the explanation of the movement paths of the different sliding plates 20, the four sliding plates 20 on the same support plate 15 are arranged from top to bottom, with the topmost being the first sliding plate 20. After the first sliding plate 20 descends by one unit height, the clamps 24 on the first sliding plate 20 will move towards the flip plate 22 on the same side. At this time, stop the four movable sliders 61 to facilitate placing the jewelry on the two support seats 23 at the same height, and the jewelry can be located between the two clamps 24 at the same height, or the jewelry can be removed from the support seat 23. Then control the three movable sliders 61 below to continue driving the connected sliding plates 20 to move downward. At this time, the clamps 24 on the first sliding plate 20 will move away from the flip plate 22 on the same side to clamp the jewelry. When the second sliding plate 20 descends by two units, the clamps 24 on the second sliding plate 20... 4. It will also move towards the flip plate 22 on the same side. At this time, the three moving sliders 61 below will stop to facilitate the picking up and putting down of the jewelry. Then, control the two moving sliders 61 below to continue to drive the connected sliding plate 20 to move downward. At this time, the clamp 24 on the second sliding plate 20 will move away from the flip plate 22 on the same side to clamp the jewelry. When the third sliding plate 20 drops three units of height, the clamp 24 on the third sliding plate 20 will also move towards the flip plate 22 on the same side. At this time, stop the two moving sliders 61 at the bottom to facilitate the picking up and putting down of the jewelry. Then, control the moving slider 61 at the bottom to continue to move downward. At this time, the clamp 24 on the third sliding plate 20 will move away from the flip plate 22 on the same side to clamp the jewelry. When the fourth sliding plate 20 drops four units of height, the clamp 24 on the fourth sliding plate 20 will also move towards the flip plate 22 on the same side to facilitate the picking up and putting down of the jewelry.When transporting the jewelry to the appearance scanning inspection station, the movement of the hanger 12 is first stopped. The sliding plates 20 are then controlled to descend in stages as described above to disperse the jewelry. During the downward movement of the first sliding plate 20 (first unit height), the second sliding plate 20 (second unit height), the third sliding plate 20 (third unit height), and the fourth sliding plate 20 (fourth unit height), the corresponding flip plates 22 on each sliding plate 20 rotate one full revolution, allowing the appearance scanning equipment in front to completely scan the jewelry. If a defect is found in the appearance of a piece of jewelry on a sliding plate 20 at a certain height, the sliding plate is then... 20 moves and holds to the corresponding height to release clamp 24. For example, if a defective ornament is detected during the first sliding plate 20's downward movement of the first unit height, clamp 24 will automatically release after the first sliding plate 20 descends one unit height, allowing the ornament to be removed. The three ornaments below remain clamped by clamp 24, preventing workers from touching other ornaments and causing displacement or falling when handling the defective ornament. Furthermore, the ornaments on the first sliding plate 20 are now further away from the conveyor plate 14, providing more operating space and preventing them from hitting the upper conveyor plate 14. Then, the second sliding plate 20 is controlled to begin moving downwards for a second... When the second sliding plate 20 descends by two units, the clamp 24 will automatically release, allowing the ornaments on the second sliding plate 20 to be removed. At this point, the ornaments on the second sliding plate 20 are now positioned further down and away from the ornaments above, providing more operating space and preventing collisions with the ornaments above. When placing ornaments to be tested, first control the sliding plate 20 to descend step-by-step as described above to disperse them, then control the sliding plate 20 to return to its original position step-by-step. That is, first control the fourth sliding plate 20 to return to its original position by one unit, then control the third and fourth sliding plates 20 to return to their original position simultaneously by one unit. Then, the second, third, and fourth sliding plates 20 are simultaneously reset upwards by one unit height. Finally, the first, second, third, and fourth sliding plates 20 are simultaneously reset upwards by one unit height. During this process, the clamps 24 of different heights will release sequentially from bottom to top. Ornaments can then be placed onto the four sliding plates 20 of different heights sequentially from bottom to top. The ornaments are supported by two bearing seats 23 of the same height and located between the clamps 24 on the left and right sides. It should be noted that since the width, thickness, shape, and other characteristics of different ornaments vary, this instruction manual does not specify the exact distance represented by one unit. Technicians can adjust it according to actual needs.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a clamping assembly for driving the clamp 24 to clamp the jewelry. The clamping assembly is connected to the flip plate 22. The clamping assembly includes a sliding frame 30 and a push shaft 31. The sliding frame 30 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 20 in the horizontal direction. The sliding frame 30 is located between the support plate 15 and the flip plate 22. The push shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 30. The push shaft 31 cannot move axially on the sliding frame 30, that is, the push shaft 31 cannot be disengaged from the sliding frame 30. The push shaft 31 passes through the adjacent flip plate 22 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding clamp 24. The push shaft 31 and the flip plate 22 are arranged on the same axis.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the part where the push shaft 31 and the flip plate 22 contact is provided with a spline-shaped protrusion structure to achieve spline engagement between the push shaft 31 and the flip plate 22, so that the flip plate 22 can drive the clamp 24 to rotate synchronously through the push shaft 31, without affecting the axial movement of the push shaft 31 to drive the clamp 24 to clamp the jewelry.
[0032] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a first support rod 32, a push rod 33, a first spring 34, and a push block 35. Two first support rods 32 are symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the conveyor plate 14. Each first support rod 32 has four push rods 33 fixed to it, with each push rod 33 located at an adjacent end of one of the two first support rods 32. The sliding plate 20 has through holes for the push rods 33 to pass through. A push block 35 is fixed to the end of the sliding frame 30 near the first support rod 32 on the same side. Each push rod 33 corresponds to one push block. Block 35 and push rod 33 are used to squeeze push block 35 to drive clamp 24 closer to the ornament on the support seat 23. The length of push rod 33 gradually increases with the stroke of the corresponding sliding plate 20. That is, the longer the stroke of the corresponding sliding plate 20, the longer the length of push rod 33. Guide rods are provided on both sides of the sliding frame 30. The guide rods are slidably set on the sliding plate 20. A first spring 34 is sleeved on the guide rod. The first spring 34 is used to push the sliding frame 30 to move away from the flip plate 22 to loosen the clamping of the ornament.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the four push rods 33 on the same support rod 32 are distributed in a staggered manner, with the two bottom push rods 33 also having overlapping staggered parts, so that the sliding plate 20 can retract to the maximum extent to improve space utilization. The push blocks 35 corresponding to the push rods 33 are also staggered, so that the push blocks 35 can only be squeezed and pushed by their corresponding push rods 33. The staggered arrangement means that the topmost push rod 33 is set back, the second push rod 33 is set forward, the third push rod 33 is set back, and the fourth push rod 33 is set forward. Similarly, the topmost push block 35 is set back, the second push block 35 is set forward, the third push block 35 is set back, and the fourth push block 35 is set forward.
[0034] To facilitate explanation of the interaction between the push rods 33 and the push blocks 35, the push rods 33 are arranged from top to bottom, with the topmost being the first push rod 33, which is also the shortest. The push blocks 35 are also arranged from top to bottom, with the first push block 35 on the first sliding plate 20. The first push block 35 interacts with the first push rod 33, the second push block 35 interacts with the second push rod 33, and so on. When all sliding plates 20 are not descending, the push rods 33 are in contact with their corresponding push blocks 35, and the first spring 34 is compressed. At this time, the clamp 24 is away from the flip plate 22 and clamps the ornament. When the first sliding plate 20 moves downward by one unit height... After a certain distance, the first pushing block 35 will disengage from the first pushing rod 33, and the first spring 34 will push the clamp 24 closer to the flip plate 22 and release the clamp on the ornament. That is, when the first sliding plate 20 is at the position of moving down one unit height, the clamp 24 on it will be released. When the second sliding plate 20 moves down two units height, the second pushing block 35 will disengage from the second pushing rod 33, thereby releasing the clamp on the next ornament. That is, when the second sliding plate 20 is at the position of moving down two units height, the clamp 24 on it will be released. Similarly, during the gradual descent of the sliding plate 20, the clamps on all ornaments can be released sequentially. During the upward reset of the sliding plate 20, from Figure 5 It can be seen that the lower end face of the push rod 33 is provided with an inclined surface, from Figure 6 As can be seen, the upper surface of the push block 35 is provided with an inclined surface. Therefore, the push rod 33 can push the push block 35 closer to the flip plate 22 through the squeezing action of the inclined surface. The push block 35 drives the slide frame 30 closer to the flip plate 22, the first spring 34 will be compressed, the push shaft 31 will slide axially within the flip plate 22, and the push shaft 31 will drive the clamp 24 away from the flip plate 22 to clamp the ornament. It should be noted that since the push shaft 31 and the slide frame 30 are rotatably connected, and the push shaft 31 is splinedly engaged with the spline shaft, the push shaft 31 will not affect the rotation of the flip plate 22.
[0035] Example 3: Based on Example 2, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes an elastic telescopic rod 40 and a locking push rod 41 to ensure that only one piece of jewelry is released and clamped at a time. One end of the elastic telescopic rod 40 is rotatably connected to each of the three sliding plates 20 located on the lower side. The locking push rod 41 is slidably connected to each sliding plate 20 in the horizontal direction. The locking push rod 41 is used to push the sliding frame 30 closer to the jewelry. The other end of the elastic telescopic rod 40 is rotatably connected to the upper locking push rod 41. When the multiple sliding plates 20 are not dispersed, the elastic telescopic rod 40 is in an inclined state, so that the sliding plates 20 can drive the locking push rod 41 closer to the sliding frame 30 through the elastic telescopic rod 40 during the dispersion process. The elastic telescopic rod 40 can be a telescopic rod with elastic retraction function in the prior art. The elastic telescopic rod 40 has a built-in spring. Figure 3 The image shows the state where the elastic telescopic rod 40 is not extended. When the elastic telescopic rod 40 is extended, the spring inside it will be compressed. When the force applied to the elastic telescopic rod 40 is removed, the spring inside the elastic telescopic rod 40 will cause it to contract and shorten. The spring force inside it is greater than the spring force of the first spring 34, which enables it to drive the locking push rod 41 to push the slide frame 30.
[0036] To prevent jewelry from colliding with other placed jewelry during handling or placement, causing it to fall or shift, a locking mechanism is added to this device. This ensures that only one jewelry item can be released from its clamp at a time. When the distance between the upper and lower sliding plates 20 begins to increase, the sliding plates 20 apply a pulling force to the elastic telescopic rod 40, from... Figure 3 As can be seen, the initial state of the elastic telescopic rod 40 is tilted. Therefore, the elastic telescopic rod 40 can apply downward and rightward force to the locking push rod 41, thereby driving the locking push rod 41 closer to the sliding frame 30. The locking push rod 41 will contact and push the sliding frame 30 to move towards the flip plate 22, and then drive the clamp 24 to clamp the jewelry again through the push shaft 31. Taking the clamp 24 on the first sliding plate 20 as an example, the four sliding plates 20 first descend synchronously by one unit height. After the first sliding plate 20 descends by one unit height, the clamp 24 on it will release the clamp on the jewelry, and the first sliding plate 20 will no longer move downward. Then the three sliding plates 20 below descend by one unit height again, and the second sliding plate 20 will move downward relatively. The second sliding plate 20 will drive the upper locking push rod 41 to approach the sliding frame 30 through the elastic telescopic rod 40, and then clamp the jewelry again.
[0037] Example 4: Based on Example 3, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a second support rod 50, toothed blocks 51, bushings 52, and gears 53 for controlling the rotation of the tilting plate 22. Two second support rods 50 are symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the conveyor plate 14. Four sets of toothed blocks 51 are fixed to the second support rods 50. The four sets of toothed blocks 51 are distributed vertically and staggered in the left and right directions. Bushings 52 are fixed to the end of the tilting plate 22 near the slide frame 30. The push shaft 31 passes through the bushing 52 and engages with it via a spline. Gears 53 are fixedly connected to the bushing 52. Each gear 53 corresponds to a set of tooth blocks 51. The four gears 53 on the same side are also staggered in the left and right direction to avoid the gears 53 meshing with non-corresponding tooth blocks 51. The staggered arrangement of gears 53 and tooth blocks 51 is similar to the staggered arrangement of push rod 33 and push block 35, except that gears 53 and tooth blocks 51 are staggered in the left and right direction, while push rod 33 and push block 35 are staggered in the front and back direction.
[0038] As the sliding plate 20 moves downward, the gear 53 will mesh with the corresponding tooth block 51. Each set of tooth blocks 51 can drive the corresponding gear 53 to rotate one revolution. The gear 53 will drive the clamped ornament to rotate one revolution through the bushing 52 and the flip plate 22. The four sets of tooth blocks 51 and gears 53 are staggered to avoid interference during the stroke.
[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes an inner slider 70. Four slides 71 are provided at the opposite ends of the two bearing plates 15. An inner slider 70 is slidably connected in the vertical direction in each slide 71. Each inner slider 70 corresponds to a sliding plate 20 and is fixed to it. The four slides 71 are staggered in the front-back direction, and the opening length of the slide 71 gradually increases with the stroke of the corresponding sliding plate 20. That is, the longer the stroke of the corresponding sliding plate 20, the longer the opening length of the slide 71.
[0040] By allowing the inner slider 70 to slide within the slide rail 71, the stability of the sliding plate 20 can be ensured, preventing the sliding plate 20 from shaking or tilting.
[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
