Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of conveying technology, and in particular to a conveying device and conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic drive conveyor systems are widely used in automated logistics due to their advantages such as independent control of the moving module and smooth movement. On magnetic drive conveyor lines, due to changes in the conveying environment, the moving module needs to be switched to different conveyor lines via a connecting module to achieve the reversing operation of the moving module.

[0003] Currently, a switch mechanism is usually installed at the connection point to complete the reversing of the moving module. Existing switch mechanisms are usually equipped with reversing components, which complete the reversing through electric rotation or pneumatic lifting. However, the linkage of such reversing components is insufficient, resulting in excessively high reversing costs for the moving module. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a conveying device and conveying line to address the problem that insufficient linkage of the commutation components used for commutation of the moving module leads to excessively high commutation costs of the moving module.

[0005] A conveying device for conveying a moving module, the conveying device comprising:

[0006] First conveyor line;

[0007] A reversing mechanism is connected to one end of the first conveyor line. The reversing mechanism includes a transmission assembly, multiple second conveyor lines, and multiple lifting assemblies. At least two of the second conveyor lines extend in different directions. Each second conveyor line has a conveying guide rail. The multiple lifting assemblies correspond to the multiple second conveyor lines and are all drivenly connected to the transmission assembly.

[0008] When the transmission assembly drives the plurality of lifting assemblies to move along a first direction, one of the lifting assemblies selectively abuts against the conveying guide rail of one of the second conveying lines to drive the conveying guide rail to move up and down along a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0009] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a drive module and a mounting plate that is drive-connected to the drive module, with a plurality of lifting components offset from each other on the mounting plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a plurality of lifting modules, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the corresponding conveying guide rail, and at least two of the lifting modules can abut against two opposite ends of the conveying guide rail.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lifting module includes a cam plate, an abutment post, and a cam follower disposed on the abutment post. The cam plate is disposed on the mounting plate and has an abutment slope. The abutment post is movably disposed on the second conveyor line and can abut against the conveyor guide rail. The cam follower can slide with the abutment slope.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cam plate further has a horizontal surface that connects to one side of the abutting inclined end, the horizontal surface being perpendicular to the second direction, and the cam follower being able to translately engage with the horizontal surface.

[0013] In one embodiment, a transition arc surface is provided at the connection position between the abutting inclined surface and the horizontal surface.

[0014] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly further includes at least one guide rail extending along the first direction, and the mounting plate is slidably disposed on the guide rail along the first direction.

[0015] In one embodiment, the second conveyor line has at least one coil module on the side near the first conveyor line, the coil module being used to drive the movement of the mover module.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second conveyor line is provided with a retaining edge, a plurality of abutting wheels and a plurality of supporting wheels. The retaining edge and the plurality of abutting wheels are respectively disposed on two opposite edge sides of the second conveyor line. The retaining edge extends along the extension direction of the second conveyor line. The plurality of abutting wheels and the plurality of supporting wheels are all spaced apart along the extension direction of the second conveyor line. The retaining edge and the abutting wheels can abut against the opposite sides of the moving part module. The supporting wheels can roll into contact with the bottom of the moving part module.

[0017] A conveyor line, the conveyor line comprising:

[0018] The conveying device as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0019] In the aforementioned conveying device and conveyor line, when the moving module moves from the first conveyor line to a position near the reversing mechanism, and the transmission component drives multiple lifting components to move along the first direction, one lifting component selectively abuts against the conveyor rail of one of the second conveyor lines to drive the conveyor rail to rise and fall along the second direction, allowing the moving module to move to a predetermined second conveyor line. That is, the reversing mechanism transports the moving module from the first conveyor line to the predetermined second conveyor line. Since at least two second conveyor lines extend in different directions, the reversing mechanism can perform multi-directional reversing operations on the moving module. The conveying device provided in this application, in which the transmission component drives multiple lifting components to move synchronously, and the multiple lifting components selectively rise and fall a predetermined second conveyor line, links the lifting components together to perform reversing operations on the moving module, reducing the reversing cost of the moving module.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0032] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0036] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a conveying device 100, which includes a first conveying line 110 and a reversing mechanism 120. The conveying device 100 is used to convey a moving module 200. By sliding the moving module 200 on the conveying device 100, the carrier or workpiece can be carried and conveyed. In this embodiment, the conveying device 100 is a magnetically driven conveying line, and the moving module 200 is driven to move on the conveying device 100 by magnetic levitation technology.

[0038] A reversing mechanism 120 is connected to one end of the first conveyor line 110. The reversing mechanism 120 includes a transmission assembly 121, multiple second conveyor lines 122, and multiple lifting assemblies 123. At least two of the second conveyor lines 122 extend in different directions. Each second conveyor line 122 has a conveyor guide rail 1221. The multiple lifting assemblies 123 correspond to the multiple second conveyor lines 122, meaning that one lifting assembly 123 is provided for each second conveyor line 122. For example, the lifting assembly 123 can be positioned below the conveyor guide rail 1221 of the second conveyor line 122, and the lifting operation of the corresponding second conveyor line 122 is controlled by the lifting assembly 123. The multiple lifting assemblies 123 are all drivenly connected to the transmission assembly 121. The transmission assembly 121 synchronously controls the movement of the multiple lifting assemblies 123. Only one drive element is needed to control the synchronous movement of the multiple lifting assemblies 123, so that the lifting assemblies 123 can be linked together to perform the reversing operation of the moving module 200.

[0039] The transmission assembly 121 drives multiple lifting assemblies 123 along a first direction (e.g.) Figure 1 When moving in the X direction (as shown), a lifting component 123 selectively abuts against the conveyor rail 1221 of one of the second conveyor lines 122. The lifting component 123 is used to drive the conveyor rail 1221 along the second direction (as shown). Figure 1 The elevation change is shown in the Z-direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, i.e. Figure 1 The X-direction is perpendicular to the Z-direction. For example, see [reference needed]. Figure 1As shown, multiple second conveyor lines 122 are defined as a middle branch line 1222, a left branch line 1223, and a right branch line 1224, respectively. The middle branch line 1222 extends along the X direction, and the left branch line 1223 and the right branch line 1224 are located on opposite sides of the middle branch line 1222. When the lifting component 123 corresponding to the middle branch line 1222 moves and selectively abuts against the conveyor rail 1221 of the middle branch line 1222, the lifting component 123 drives the conveyor rail 1221 of the middle branch line 1222 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the reversal of the moving module 200 of the first conveyor line 110 along the extension direction of the middle branch line 1222. For example, when the lifting component 123 corresponding to the left branch line 1223 moves and selectively abuts against the conveyor rail 1221 of the left branch line 1223, the lifting component 123 drives the conveyor rail 1221 of the left branch line 1223 to rise and fall, thereby changing the direction of the moving module 200 of the first conveyor line 110 along the extension direction of the left branch line 1223. Similarly, when the lifting component 123 corresponding to the right branch line 1224 moves and selectively abuts against the conveyor rail 1221 of the right branch line 1224, the lifting component 123 drives the conveyor rail 1221 of the right branch line 1224 to rise and fall, thereby changing the direction of the moving module 200 of the first conveyor line 110 along the extension direction of the right branch line 1224.

[0040] In the aforementioned conveying device 100, the moving module 200 moves from the first conveying line 110 to a position close to the reversing mechanism 120. When the transmission assembly 121 drives multiple lifting assemblies 123 to move along the first direction, one lifting assembly 123 selectively abuts against the conveying guide rail 1221 of one of the second conveying lines 122 to drive the conveying guide rail 1221 to rise and fall along the second direction, so that the moving module 200 can move to the predetermined second conveying line 122. That is, the moving module 200 of the first conveying line 110 is conveyed to the predetermined second conveying line 122 by the reversing mechanism 120. Since at least two second conveying lines 122 extend in different directions, the reversing mechanism 120 can perform multi-directional reversing operations on the moving module 200. In this way, the transmission component 121 drives multiple lifting components 123 to move synchronously, and the multiple lifting components 123 selectively lift and lower the predetermined second conveyor line 122 to link the lifting components 123 together to perform the reversing operation of the moving module 200, thereby reducing the reversing cost of the moving module 200.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transmission assembly 121 includes a drive module 1211 and a mounting plate 1212. The mounting plate 1212 is connected to the drive module 1211 in a transmission manner, and multiple lifting components 123 are staggered on the mounting plate 1212. Since at least two second conveyor lines 122 extend in different directions, the multiple lifting components 123 are staggered to accommodate the lifting operations of the multiple second conveyor lines 122.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drive module 1211 includes a drive source 1213 and a lead screw 1214. The drive source 1213 includes, but is not limited to, drive components such as a drive motor and a drive cylinder. The lead screw 1214 is connected to the output end of the drive source 1213. The mounting plate 1212 engages with the lead screw 1214, and the lead screw 1214 extends along a first direction. Thus, the drive source 1213 outputs power to the lead screw 1214. The rotation of the lead screw 1214 causes the mounting plate 1212 to drive multiple lifting components 123 to move along the first direction. During the movement, the lifting components 123 selectively abut against the conveying guide rail 1221 of the predetermined second conveying line 122, realizing the reversing operation of the moving module 200.

[0043] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 123 includes multiple lifting modules 124, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the corresponding conveying guide rail 1221. For example, the multiple second conveying lines 122 can be defined as a middle branch line 1222, a left branch line 1223, and a right branch line 1224, respectively. The conveying guide rail 1221 of the middle branch line 1222 extends along... Figure 2 As shown, extending in the V1 direction, multiple lifting modules 124 corresponding to the middle branch line 1222 are spaced apart along the V1 direction, and the conveying guide rail 1221 of the left branch line 1223 extends along... Figure 2 As shown, extending in the V2 direction, multiple lifting modules 124 corresponding to the left side switch line 1223 are spaced apart along the V2 direction, and the conveying guide rail 1221 of the right side switch line 1224 extends along... Figure 2 As shown, multiple lifting modules 124, extending in the V3 direction and corresponding to the right-side branch line 1224, are spaced apart along the V3 direction. Thus, when the conveyor rail 1221 of the second conveyor line 122 needs to be lifted or lowered, the corresponding multiple lifting modules 124 move synchronously and abut against the conveyor rail 1221, realizing the reversing operation of the moving module 200.

[0044] At least two lifting modules 124 can abut against two opposite ends of the conveying guide rail 1221. In this way, during the abutment and lifting process, the two lifting modules 124 set at both ends of the conveying guide rail 1221 can stably support the conveying guide rail 1221, avoiding the problem of the conveying guide rail 1221 tilting due to lack of force at the ends, which would lead to reversal failure.

[0045] Further, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the lifting module 124 includes a cam plate 1241, an abutment post 1242, and a cam follower 1243. The cam plate 1241 is disposed on the mounting plate 1212. The cam plate 1241 is disposed on the mounting plate 1212 by means of screwing, welding, etc., and the cam plate 1241 has an abutment slope 1244. The abutment slope 1244 forms an acute angle or an obtuse angle with the second direction. The abutment post 1242 is movably disposed on the second conveyor line 122 and can abut against the conveyor guide rail 1221. The cam follower 1243 can slide with the abutment slope 1244. Specifically, when the drive module 1211 outputs power and drives the mounting plate 1212 to move in the first direction, the cam plate 1241 on the mounting plate 1212 also moves in the first direction. When the cam follower 1243 abuts against the abutting inclined surface 1244 and moves toward the lifting conveying guide rail 1221, the cam follower 1243 performs a lifting motion. Since the cam follower 1243 is located on the abutting post 1242, the cam follower 1243 carries the abutting post 1242 to perform a lifting motion. The abutting post 1242 lifts the conveying guide rail 1221 in the second direction, thereby realizing the reversing operation of the moving module 200. Conversely, after the reversing of the moving module 200 is completed, the drive module 1211 outputs power in the opposite direction and drives the mounting plate 1212 to move in the opposite direction. The mounting plate 1212, along with the cam plate 1241, separates from the cam follower 1243, or the cam follower 1243 moves toward the descending conveyor rail 1221, and the cam follower 1243 falls to complete the reset of the conveyor rail 1221.

[0046] It should be noted that the reversing rate of the mover module 200 is related to the slope of the contact ramp 1244. A larger slope of the contact ramp 1244 results in a faster lifting and lowering rate of the conveyor rail 1221, meaning a faster reversing rate for the mover module 200. Conversely, a smaller slope of the contact ramp 1244 results in a slower lifting and lowering rate of the conveyor rail 1221, meaning a slower reversing rate for the mover module 200. Furthermore, the cam follower 1243 is preferably a roller. Through the rolling contact between the cam follower 1243 and the contact ramp 1244, the rolling wear of the cam follower 1243 can be reduced, and the smoothness of the rolling between the cam follower 1243 and the contact ramp 1244 can be improved. Moreover, the cam follower 1243 and the contact ramp 1244 maintain point or line contact, ensuring smooth reversing of the mover module 200 even under conditions of high-speed reversing and load fluctuations.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-3As shown, the cam plate 1241 also has a horizontal surface 1245, which is connected to one end of the abutting inclined surface 1244 and is perpendicular to the second direction. The cam follower 1243 can be movably engaged with the horizontal surface 1245. During the contact process between the cam follower 1243 and the cam plate 1241, the cam follower 1243 first rolls against the abutting inclined surface 1244 to achieve the lifting and lowering operation of the conveying guide rail 1221. If the cam follower 1243 continues to roll and movably engages with the horizontal surface 1245, the cam follower 1243 moves movably, and the lifting and lowering operation of the conveying guide rail 1221 stops, thus avoiding the cam follower 1243 from disengaging from the cam plate 1241 or the lifting and lowering of the conveying guide rail 1221 from exceeding its travel due to excessive displacement of the cam plate 1241.

[0048] Preferably, the cam plate 1241 is provided with limiting blocks at both ends opposite to each other, and the limiting blocks are used to limit the movement stroke of the cam follower 1243. In this way, the movement stroke of the cam follower 1243 is limited by the limiting blocks at both ends of the cam plate 1241, so as to avoid the cam follower 1243 disengaging from the cam plate 1241 or the overtravel of the lifting and lowering of the conveyor rail 1221 due to excessive displacement of the cam plate 1241.

[0049] Further, see Figures 1-3 As shown, a transition arc surface 1246 is provided at the connection position between the abutting inclined surface 1244 and the horizontal surface 1245. When the cam follower 1243 moves from the abutting inclined surface 1244 toward the horizontal surface 1245, or when the cam follower 1243 moves from the horizontal surface 1245 toward the abutting inclined surface 1244, the cam follower 1243 needs to pass through the transition arc surface 1246. The transition arc surface 1246 can avoid rigid collision between the cam follower 1243 and the cam plate 1241, and the cam follower 1243 and the cam plate 1241 transition smoothly, reducing the impact load of the moving module 200 during the reversing process, protecting the precision components inside the moving module 200, reducing operating noise, and improving the reversing stability of the conveying device 100.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a linear bearing 1247 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the abutment post 1242, and the linear bearing 1247 is movably disposed on the second conveyor line 122, so that the abutment post 1242 is movably disposed on the second conveyor line 122. In this way, the resistance of the abutment post 1242 during the lifting process is reduced by the linear bearing 1247, thereby reducing the lifting wear of the lifting module 124.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transmission assembly 121 also includes at least one guide rail 1215. The guide rail 1215 extends along a first direction, and the mounting plate 1212 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 1215 along the first direction. In this way, the guide rail 1215 guides the movement of the mounting plate 1212 in the first direction, ensuring the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the lifting assembly 123.

[0052] Preferably, there are two guide rails 1215, and the two guide rails 1215 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the mounting plate 1212 to improve the stability of the mounting plate 1212 during movement.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second conveyor line 122 has at least one coil module 130 on the side near the first conveyor line 110. The coil module 130 is used to drive the movement of the mover module 200. During the process of the mover module 200 switching from the first conveyor line 110 to the second conveyor line 122, problems such as magnetic field breaks, insufficient driving force, or switching accuracy deviations can easily cause vibrations and jamming during the switching process. The coil module 130 on the side of the second conveyor line 122 near the first conveyor line 110 compensates for the magnetic field gap in the switching area, ensuring the continuity of the magnetic field and dynamic stability of the mover module 200 during the switching process, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the mover module 200 during the switching process.

[0054] Preferably, the second conveyor line 122 is provided with multiple coil modules 130 in the area close to the first conveyor line 110, and a stable magnetic field area is formed by the multiple coil modules 130 to ensure the smooth movement of the mover module 200 during the commutation process.

[0055] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second conveyor line 122 is provided with a retaining edge 1225, multiple abutment wheels 1226, and multiple support wheels 1227. The retaining edge 1225 and the multiple abutment wheels 1226 are respectively disposed on two opposite edge sides of the second conveyor line 122. The retaining edge 1225 extends along the extension direction of the second conveyor line 122, such that the retaining edge 1225 protrudes from the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 122 and is located on the edge side of the second conveyor line 122. The multiple abutment wheels 1226 and the multiple support wheels 1227 are all spaced apart along the extension direction of the second conveyor line 122, and the retaining edge 1225 and the abutment wheels 1226 can abut against the opposite sides of the moving module 200, and the support wheels 1227 can roll in contact with the bottom of the moving module 200.

[0056] Thus, when the moving module 200 enters the second conveyor line 122 from the first conveyor line 110 for reversal, the retaining edge 1225 and multiple abutment wheels 1226 abut against the opposite sides of the moving module 200 to guide the moving module 200 in reversal conveying on the second conveyor line 122. The retaining edge 1225 and multiple abutment wheels 1226 can counteract the centrifugal force generated during the reversal process of the moving module 200, preventing the moving module 200 from shifting laterally or flying off the second conveyor line 122 during the reversal process. Furthermore, the multiple abutment wheels 1226 and multiple support wheels 1227 bear the motion load of the moving module 200 during the reversal process, preventing the moving module 200 from detaching from the second conveyor line 122 when it stops running. In addition, the support wheels 1227 can roll in contact with the bottom of the moving module 200 to assist in the reversal conveying of the moving module 200.

[0057] Among them, the abutment wheel 1226 and the support wheel 1227 are made of wear-resistant bearing material, which reduces the rolling wear of the moving module 200, the abutment wheel 1226 and the support wheel 1227, and improves the smoothness of the conveying of the moving module 200.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the mover module 200 includes a mover body 210, a first permanent magnet array 220, a second permanent magnet array 230, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) device 240. The first permanent magnet array 220 is disposed on the mover body 210 and is magnetically coupled to the first conveyor line 110 and the second conveyor line 122 to drive the mover module 200 to move along the H1 direction. The second permanent magnet array 230 is disposed on the mover body 210 and is magnetically coupled to the first conveyor line 110 and the second conveyor line 122 to drive the mover module 200 to move along the H2 direction. The RFID device 240 is disposed on the mover body 210 and is communicatively connected to the control system. The control system reads the preset operating path of the mover module 200 through the RFID device 240 and outputs a control signal to the transmission assembly 121 to drive the predetermined second conveyor line 122 to rise and fall for a reversing operation. Thus, through the coordinated control of the RFID device 240, the control system, and the transmission assembly 121, the multi-directional switching requirements of the moving module 200 are rationally planned.

[0059] Additionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a conveyor line, which includes a conveying device 100 as described above. The conveyor line is used to convey a moving module 200. The moving module 200 slides on the conveyor line to realize the carrying and conveying of a carrier or workpiece.

[0060] In the aforementioned conveyor line, the moving module 200 moves from the first conveyor line 110 to a position close to the reversing mechanism 120. When the transmission assembly 121 drives multiple lifting assemblies 123 to move along the first direction, one lifting assembly 123 selectively abuts against the conveying guide rail 1221 of one of the second conveyor lines 122 to drive the conveying guide rail 1221 to move up and down along the second direction, so that the moving module 200 can move to the predetermined second conveyor line 122. That is, the moving module 200 of the first conveyor line 110 is conveyed to the predetermined second conveyor line 122 by the reversing mechanism 120. Since at least two second conveyor lines 122 extend in different directions, the reversing mechanism 120 can perform multi-directional reversing operations on the moving module 200. In this way, the transmission component 121 drives multiple lifting components 123 to move synchronously, and the multiple lifting components 123 selectively lift and lower the predetermined second conveyor line 122 to link the lifting components 123 together to perform the reversing operation of the moving module 200, thereby reducing the reversing cost of the moving module 200.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
