To address the transfer requirements of large components, pallets are needed on the component transfer mechanism. These pallets provide stable support for the components, and the directional movement of the pallets enables the transfer of the components.
[0003] In related technologies, after the components are transferred, the empty pallet needs to be returned to the initial stage for reuse. Therefore, an additional empty pallet return mechanism is required, which increases space occupation. In addition, staff need to transfer the empty pallet to the empty pallet return mechanism, which affects work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

A first transfer member is adapted to connect with a pallet and is adapted to move the pallet between a first workstation and a second workstation. At the first workstation, the first transfer member is connected to the first end of the feeding track, and the feeding track receives the pallet conveyed by the first transfer member. At the second workstation, the first transfer member is connected to the second end of the return track, and the first transfer member receives the pallet conveyed by the return track.

At the fourth station, the second transfer member is connected to the first end of the return track, and receives the pallet conveyed by the second transfer member.
[0006] In the above solution, the component conveying equipment provided in this application conveys the pallet carrying the workpiece through the feeding track. The empty pallet is transferred to the return track through the second transfer component, and then conveyed back to the feeding track through the first transfer component. The component conveying equipment under this design integrates the feeding track and the return track, which reduces space occupation and can realize the automatic return of the empty pallet. There is no need for the staff to transfer the empty pallet, which avoids affecting the work efficiency of the staff.
[0007] Optionally, the first transfer component includes a first cylinder and a first support plate, the first support plate being connected to the first cylinder, the first support plate being adapted to support a pallet, and the first cylinder being used to move the first support plate between the first workstation and the second workstation.
[0008] In the above scheme, the first transfer component has a simple structure. The first cylinder drives the first support plate to make linear reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, which can accurately control the lifting stroke and start and stop position of the first support plate, ensuring that the transfer action of the pallet between the first station and the second station is stable and reliable.
[0009] Optionally, the first transferor includes: A first cylinder and a first support plate, the first support plate being connected to the first cylinder, the first support plate being adapted to support a pallet, and the first cylinder being used to move the first support plate between the first workstation and the fifth workstation; A third cylinder and a third support plate, the third support plate being connected to the third cylinder, the third support plate being adapted to support a pallet, and the third cylinder being used to move the third support plate between the sixth work station and the second work station; At the second workstation, the third support plate is adapted to dock with the second end of the return track, and the third support plate receives the pallet conveyed by the return track; at the sixth workstation, the third support plate is adapted to dock with the first support plate located at the fifth workstation, and the first support plate located at the fifth workstation receives the pallet conveyed by the third support plate; at the first workstation, the first support plate docks with the first end of the feeding track, and the feeding track receives the pallet conveyed by the first support plate.

In this implementation, the first transfer component uses a combination of the first cylinder, the first support plate, the third cylinder, and the third support plate, which enables the transfer of the pallet at different heights. Compared to a single cylinder drive, the staggered arrangement of the first and second cylinders reduces the stroke of a single cylinder, making the workpiece transfer more stable, and also reducing the vertical space occupied.

[0012] In the above scheme, the first support plate has a simple structure. The pallet conveyed by the third support plate can slide to the top of the first support plate under gravity and can be held on the first support plate by the first baffle, which reduces the arrangement of power components and lowers costs.
[0013] Optionally, the first end of the third support plate is higher than the second end, and the first end of the third support plate is close to the second end of the return track; The component conveying device includes a third baffle located at the second end of the third support plate, which blocks the pallet when the third support plate is at the second work position and releases the pallet when the third support plate is at the sixth work position.
[0014] In the above scheme, the inclined extended third support plate can support the pallet conveyed by the return track, and through cooperation with the third baffle, it can realize the loading or release of the pallet. The structure is simple, reduces the arrangement of power components, and reduces costs.

At the seventh work position, the first stop releases the pallet, and at the eighth work position, the first stop blocks the pallet.
[0016] In the above scheme, by setting a first stop and a fourth cylinder, when there is a pallet on the third support plate, the first stop prevents the pallet on the return track from sliding to the third support plate, thus avoiding interference between the pallets; when the pallet on the third support plate is transferred to the first support plate, the first stop allows the pallet on the return track to slide to the third support plate, thus ensuring the smoothness of pallet transfer.
[0017] Optionally, a fourth support plate is provided on the top of the first stop, the first end of the fourth support plate is higher than the second end, and the second end of the fourth support plate is close to the third support plate; At the seventh station, the first stop releases the pallet, allowing the pallet to move to the top of the fourth support plate; at the eighth station, the third support plate located below the second station receives the pallet conveyed by the fourth support plate.
[0018] In the above scheme, the fourth cylinder can drive the fourth support plate to move in the vertical direction, so as to actively drive the fourth support plate to move and realize the docking of the fourth support plate with the third support plate, thereby further avoiding mutual interference between the pallets.
[0019] Optionally, the second transfer component includes a second cylinder and a second support plate. The second support plate is connected to the second cylinder.

[0020] In the above scheme, the second transfer component has a simple structure. The second cylinder drives the second support plate to make linear reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, which can accurately control the lifting stroke and start and stop position of the second support plate, ensuring that the transfer action of the pallet between the third and fourth workstations is stable and reliable.
[0021] Optionally, the first end of the second support plate is higher than the second end, and the first end of the second support plate is close to the second end of the feeding track.
[0022] In the above scheme, when the second support plate moves to the third station, it can dock with the second end of the feeding track, and the inclined second support plate can guide the pallet to the top of the second support plate; when the second support plate moves to the fourth station, the pallet can be manually pushed to move it to the return track. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0023] Optionally, the second end of the feeding track is provided with a second stop and a fifth cylinder. The second stop is connected to the feeding track through the fifth cylinder. The fifth cylinder is adapted to drive the second stop to move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the second stop can protrude out of the surface of the feeding track or retract into the feeding track.
[0024] In the above scheme, when there is a pallet on the second support plate, the fifth cylinder drives the second baffle to protrude from the surface of the feeding track, so that the second baffle can prevent the pallet from sliding towards the second support plate; when the pallet on the second support plate is transferred to the return track, the fifth cylinder drives the second baffle to retract to release the pallet. At this time, the pallet can slide to the top of the second support plate, further avoiding mutual interference between pallets and increasing the smoothness of pallet transfer.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a component conveying device, which includes a frame 7 and a feeding track 1, a return track 2, a first transfer component 3 and a second transfer component 4 disposed on the frame 7.
[0033] The feeding track 1 is fixedly connected to the frame 7. The first end of the feeding track 1 is higher than the second end, allowing the feeding track 1 to extend at an angle. The pallet 5 conveyed to the feeding track 1 can slide the workpiece 6 from the first end to the second end of the feeding track 1. A support surface is provided on the top of the pallet 5, and the workpiece 6 is placed on this support surface. The shape of the support surface is not limited and can be designed according to the shape of the workpiece 6 to ensure stable support for it. The return track 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 7. The first end of the return track 2 is higher than the second end, allowing the return track 2 to extend at an angle. The pallet 5 conveyed to the return track 2 can slide from the first end of the return track 2 to the second end of the feeding track 1. The first end of the feeding track 1 and the second end of the return track 2 are located on the same side of the component conveying equipment, allowing the pallet 5 to fold back and reduce space occupation. It is understood that the pallet 5 should be able to slide with the feeding track 1 and the return track 2.
[0034] The first transfer component 3 is mounted on the frame 7 and is adapted to connect with the pallet 5 in a movable manner so that the pallet 5 can be transferred via the first transfer component 3. The first transfer component 3 is adapted to move the pallet 5 between the first station 31 and the second station; at the first station 31, the first transfer component 3 is connected to the first end of the feeding track 1, and the feeding track 1 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the first transfer component 3; at the second station, the first transfer component 3 is connected to the second end of the return track 2, and the first transfer component 3 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the return track 2. The second transfer member 4 is mounted on the frame 7 and is adapted to connect with the pallet 5 in a movable manner so that the pallet 5 can be transferred via the second transfer member 4. The second transfer member 4 is adapted to move the pallet 5 between the third station 41 and the fourth station 42. At the third station 41, the second transfer member 4 is connected to the second end of the feeding track 1, and the second transfer member 4 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the feeding track 1. At the fourth station 42, the second transfer member 4 is connected to the first end of the return track 2, and the return track 2 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the second transfer member 4.
[0035] The component conveying equipment provided in this application conveys a pallet 5 carrying a workpiece 6 via a feeding track 1. The empty pallet 5 is transferred to the return track 2 via a second transfer member 4, and then conveyed back to the feeding track 1 via a first transfer member 3. The component conveying equipment in this design integrates the feeding track 1 and the return track 2, reducing space occupation and enabling the automatic return of the empty pallet 5 without the need for staff to transfer the empty pallet 5, thus avoiding affecting the work efficiency of the staff.
[0036] In some embodiments, the first transfer member 3 includes a first cylinder 32 and a first support plate 33. The bottom end of the first cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the frame 7, and the top end of the first cylinder 32 is connected to the first support plate 33. The first cylinder 32 is used to drive the first support plate 33 to move in a vertical direction. The first support plate 33 is adapted to support the pallet 5, and the top surface of the first support plate 33 forms a support surface on which the pallet 5 can be placed. The first cylinder 32 is used to drive the first support plate 33 to move between the first workstation 31 and the second workstation.
[0037] The first transfer component 3 in this design has a simple structure. The first support plate 33 is driven by the first cylinder 32 to make a linear reciprocating motion in the vertical direction. The lifting stroke and start and stop position of the first support plate 33 can be precisely controlled to ensure that the transfer action of the pallet 5 between the first station 31 and the second station is stable and reliable.
[0038] In other embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first transfer component 3 includes a first cylinder 32, a first support plate 33, a third cylinder 34, and a third support plate 35. The first support plate 33 is connected to the first cylinder 32, wherein the bottom end of the first cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the frame 7, and the top end of the first cylinder 32 is connected to the first support plate 33. The first cylinder 32 is used to drive the first support plate 33 to move vertically. The first support plate 33 is adapted to support the pallet 5, and the top surface of the first support plate 33 forms a support surface on which the pallet 5 can be placed. The first cylinder 32 is used to drive the first support plate 33 to move between the first workstation 31 and the fifth workstation. The third support plate 35 is connected to the third cylinder 34, and the third support plate 35 is adapted to support the pallet 5. The top surface of the third support plate 35 forms a support surface on which the pallet 5 can be placed. The third cylinder 34 is used to drive the third support plate 35 to move between the sixth workstation and the second workstation.
[0039] At the first station 31, the first support plate 33 is connected to the first end of the feeding track 1. The feeding track 1 receives the pallet 5 containing the workpiece 6, which is conveyed by the first support plate 33. The pallet 5 can be transferred by manual pushing by the operator or by setting a cylinder on the frame 7 to push the pallet 5, so that the pallet 5 can be transferred to the feeding track 1 without restriction.
[0040] At the second station, the third support plate 35 is adapted to dock with the second end of the return track 2, and the third support plate 35 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the return track 2. At the sixth station, the third support plate 35 is adapted to dock with the first support plate 33 located at the fifth station, and the first support plate 33 located at the fifth station receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the third support plate 35; at the first station 31, the first support plate 33 docks with the first end of the feeding track 1, and the feeding track 1 receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the first support plate 33.
[0041] In this design, the third cylinder 34 moves the third support plate 35 to the second station to receive the pallet 5 conveyed by the return track 2, and then moves the third support plate 35 to the sixth station. Simultaneously, the first cylinder 32 moves the first support plate 33 to the fifth station to transfer the empty pallet 5 to the first support plate 33, and then the first cylinder 32 moves the first support plate 33 to the first station 31 to prepare for the transfer of the workpiece 6. In this implementation, the first transfer component 3 uses a combination of the first cylinder 32, the first support plate 33, the third cylinder 34, and the third support plate 35, enabling the transfer of the pallet 5 at different heights. Compared to a single cylinder drive, the staggered arrangement of the first cylinder 32 and the third cylinder 34 reduces the stroke of a single cylinder, making the transfer of the workpiece 6 more stable, and also reducing vertical space occupation.
[0042] In some embodiments, the first end of the first support plate 33 is higher than the second end, and the first end of the first support plate 33 is close to the first end of the feeding track 1, so that the first support plate 33 extends at an angle away from the feeding track 1. The second end of the first support plate 33 is provided with a first baffle to prevent the tray 5 from detaching from the first support plate 33. In use, the operator can push the tray 5 carrying the workpiece 6 on the first support plate 33 so that the tray 5 can move the workpiece 6 to the feeding track 1.
[0043] In this design, the first support plate 33 has a simple structure. The pallet 5, which is conveyed by the third support plate 35, can slide to the top of the first support plate 33 under gravity and can be held on the first support plate 33 by the first baffle, reducing the arrangement of power components and lowering costs.
[0044] In other embodiments, the support surface of the first support plate 33 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In this case, the first support plate 33 is provided with multiple rollers, and at least one roller is connected to a drive motor. The drive motor is used to drive the roller to rotate. When the tray 5 on the third support plate 35 is transferred to the first support plate 33, the drive motor drives the roller to rotate so as to transfer the tray 5 to the top of the first support plate 33. The tray 5 can also be transported to the feeding track 1 by the reverse rotation of the roller.
[0045] It is evident that the method by which the first support plate 33 transfers the pallet 5 is unrestricted and can be designed according to actual needs.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first end of the third support plate 35 is higher than the second end, and the first end of the third support plate 35 is close to the second end of the return track 2, such that the third support plate 35 extends inclinedly in a direction away from the return track 2. The component conveying device includes a third baffle located at the second end of the third support plate 35, the third baffle being disposed on the frame 7, and the position of the third baffle remaining unchanged. When the third support plate 35 is in the second station, the third baffle blocks the pallet 5 to hold the pallet 5 on top of the third support plate 35, and when the third support plate 35 is in the sixth station, the third baffle releases the pallet 5, allowing the pallet 5 to be transferred through the third support plate 35 to the first support plate 33.
[0047] In this design, the inclined extended third support plate 35 can support the pallet 5 conveyed by the return track 2, and through cooperation with the third baffle, it can realize the loading or release of the pallet 5. The structure is simple, the arrangement of power components is reduced, and the cost is reduced.
[0048] In other embodiments, the support surface of the third support plate 35 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In this case, the third support plate 35 is provided with multiple rollers, and at least one roller is connected to a drive motor. The drive motor is used to drive the roller to rotate so as to realize the transfer of the tray 5 on the third support plate 35.
[0049] It is evident that the method by which the third support plate 35 transfers the pallet 5 is not limited and can be designed according to actual needs.
[0050] In some embodiments, the component conveying device further includes a first stop and a fourth cylinder. The first stop is located at the second end of the return track 2 and is connected to the fourth cylinder, the bottom end of which is connected to the frame 7. The fourth cylinder is adapted to move the first stop between a seventh station and an eighth station, with the seventh station located below the eighth station. At the seventh station, the first stop releases the pallet 5, allowing it to slide onto the third support plate 35 on the return track 2; at the eighth station, the first stop blocks the pallet 5.
[0051] In this design, by setting a first stop and a fourth cylinder, when there is a pallet 5 on the third support plate 35, the first stop prevents the pallet 5 on the return track 2 from sliding to the third support plate 35, thus avoiding mutual interference between the pallets 5; when the pallet 5 on the third support plate 35 is transferred to the first support plate 33, the first stop allows the pallet 5 on the return track 2 to slide to the third support plate 35, thus ensuring the smooth transfer of the pallet 5.
[0052] In some embodiments, a fourth support plate is provided on the top of the first stop, the first end of the fourth support plate is higher than the second end, and the second end of the fourth support plate is close to the third support plate 35, so that the fourth support plate extends at an angle, and the extension direction of the fourth support plate is consistent with the extension direction of the third support plate 35.
[0053] At the seventh station, the top of the fourth support plate is flush with the top of the return track 2, causing the first stop to release the pallet 5. At the same time, the pallet 5 abuts against the side of the third support plate 35 or against the frame 7, and the pallet 5 can move to the top of the fourth support plate. At the eighth station, the fourth support plate drives the pallet 5 to move upward, so that the fourth support plate docks with the third support plate 35. The third support plate 35, located at the second station, receives the pallet 5 conveyed by the fourth support plate.
[0054] In this design, the fourth cylinder can drive the fourth support plate to move in the vertical direction, so as to actively drive the fourth support plate to move and realize the docking of the fourth support plate with the third support plate 35, further avoiding mutual interference between the trays 5.
[0055] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second transfer component 4 includes a second cylinder 43 and a second support plate 44. The second support plate 44 is connected to the second cylinder 43. The bottom end of the second cylinder 43 is connected to the frame 7. The second cylinder 43 is used to drive the second support plate 44 to move between the third station 41 and the fourth station 42. The second support plate 44 is adapted to receive the pallet 5 conveyed by the feeding track 1 at the third station 41. The top surface of the second support plate 44 forms a support surface, and the pallet 5 can be placed on the support surface. The second support plate 44 is adapted to dock with the first end of the return track 2 at the fourth station 42, so that the pallet 5 on the second support plate 44 can be transferred to the return track 2.
[0056] The second transfer component 4, designed in this way, has a simple structure. The second cylinder 43 drives the second support plate 44 to reciprocate vertically, precisely controlling the lifting stroke and start / stop position of the second support plate 44 to ensure stable and reliable transfer of the pallet 5 between the third station 41 and the fourth station 42. Furthermore, the first cylinder 32 and the second cylinder 43 are located at opposite ends of the frame 7, while the third cylinder 34 is located near the first cylinder 32 on the frame 7. The first cylinder 32, the second cylinder 43, and the third cylinder 34 are arranged in a staggered vertical configuration, achieving multi-stage lifting within a limited space through complementary strokes, thus saving space.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first end of the second support plate 44 is higher than the second end, and the first end of the second support plate 44 is close to the second end of the feeding track 1, so that the second support plate 44 extends in a direction away from the feeding track 1, and the pallet 5 conveyed by the feeding track 1 can slide onto the second support plate 44. The second end of the first support plate 33 is provided with a second baffle to prevent the pallet 5 from detaching from the second support plate 44, or the pallet 5 can be blocked by the frame 7, without restriction.
[0058] In this design, when the second support plate 44 moves to the third station 41, it can dock with the second end of the feeding track 1, and the inclined second support plate 44 can guide the pallet 5 to be transferred to the top of the second support plate 44; when the second support plate 44 moves to the fourth station 42, the pallet 5 can be manually pushed to move it to the return track 2. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0059] In other embodiments, the support surface of the second support plate 44 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In this case, the second support plate 44 is provided with multiple rollers, and at least two rollers are connected to drive motors. The drive motors are used to drive the rollers to rotate so as to realize the transfer of the tray 5 on the second support plate 44.
[0060] It is evident that the method by which the second support plate 44 transfers the pallet 5 is not limited and can be designed according to actual needs.
[0061] In some implementations, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second end of the feeding track 1 is provided with a second stop 11 and a fifth cylinder. The second stop 11 is connected to the feeding track 1 through the fifth cylinder, and the bottom end of the fifth cylinder is connected to the frame 7. The fifth cylinder is adapted to drive the second stop 11 to move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the second stop 11 can protrude from the surface of the feeding track 1 or retract into the feeding track 1.
[0062] In this design, when there is a tray 5 on the second support plate 44, the fifth cylinder drives the second baffle to protrude from the surface of the feeding track 1, so that the second baffle can prevent the tray 5 from sliding towards the second support plate 44; when the tray 5 on the second support plate 44 is transferred to the return track 2, the fifth cylinder drives the second baffle to retract to release the tray 5. At this time, the tray 5 can slide to the top of the second support plate 44, further avoiding mutual interference between the trays 5 and increasing the smoothness of the tray 5 transfer.
[0063] It is understood that there can be multiple second stops 11 and fifth cylinders. Multiple second stops 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the feeding track 1. The distance between two adjacent second stops 11 is greater than the width of the pallet 5, so as to realize the storage of multiple pallets 5.
