Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of logistics transportation, and in particular to a conveying module and a conveying system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The jacking and transplanting device is widely used in industrial automatic sorting, logistics and warehousing, manufacturing production line and other scenes, and has a core position in systems requiring efficient cross-line conveying. For example, in the package sorting center of e-commerce logistics, the jacking and transplanting device is often used to quickly transfer the material box or tray from one conveying line to another conveying line to realize multi-directional and multi-path logistics sorting.
[0003] The core structure of the existing jacking and transplanting device usually includes an independent lifting mechanism, a transverse conveying mechanism and a roller conveying system. The working process is as follows: after the material box or tray reaches the specified position, the jacking mechanism (such as a lifting platform driven by a pneumatic cylinder or a motor) first lifts the tray to the target height, then the transverse conveying mechanism (such as a belt or a chain plate) moves the tray transversely to another conveying line, and finally the jacking mechanism is lowered to release the tray. In this process, the actions of jacking, transverse moving and lowering need to be performed independently in steps.
[0004] However, there is mechanical inertia delay between the jacking, transverse moving and lowering steps in the prior art, resulting in a relatively long overall action cycle, which cannot meet the needs of high-throughput scenarios. SUMMARY
[0005] Embodiments of the present application provide a conveying module and a conveying system to solve the problem of a relatively long overall action cycle.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a conveying module, comprising:
[0007] a conveying body;
[0008] a plurality of first conveying assemblies, the first conveying assemblies being arranged on the conveying body; the first conveying assemblies drive the tray to move towards a first direction; the first conveying assemblies are arranged at intervals along the first direction;
[0009] at least one second conveying assembly, the second conveying assembly being arranged on the conveying body; the second conveying assembly drives the tray to move towards a second direction; the second conveying assembly drives the tray to move between the first conveying assemblies;
[0010] A control structure is electrically connected with the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly, and controls the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly to ascend or descend; during the ascending of the first conveying assembly, the second conveying assembly descends, so that the first conveying assembly contacts the tray and drives the tray to move towards the first direction; during the ascending of the second conveying assembly, the first conveying assembly descends, so that the second conveying assembly contacts the tray and drives the tray to move towards the second direction.
[0011] In a possible implementation, the control structure comprises:
[0012] A first cam assembly is connected with the first conveying assembly; the first cam assembly drives the first conveying assembly to ascend or descend;
[0013] A second cam assembly is connected with the second conveying assembly; the second cam assembly drives the second conveying assembly to ascend or descend.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the first cam assembly comprises:
[0015] A first cam motor;
[0016] A first cam structure is connected with the output shaft of the first cam motor; the first cam structure drives the first conveying assembly to ascend or descend during the rotation of the first cam structure.
[0017] In a possible implementation, the first cam assembly comprises:
[0018] A second cam motor;
[0019] A second cam structure is connected with the output shaft of the second cam motor; the second cam structure drives the second conveying assembly to ascend or descend during the rotation of the second cam structure.
[0020] In a possible implementation, the first conveying assembly comprises:
[0021] A plurality of first conveying members contact the bottom of the tray and drive the tray to move towards the first direction;
[0022] The second conveying assembly comprises:
[0023] A plurality of second conveying members contact the bottom of the tray and drive the tray to move towards the second direction; the second conveying members are arranged alternately with the first conveying members.
[0024] In one possible implementation, the first conveyor includes a roller conveyor, and the second conveyor includes a belt conveyor.
[0025] In one possible implementation, the first conveying assembly includes a first driving structure, which is fixed to the conveying body, and the output shaft of the first driving structure is connected to the first conveying member.
[0026] The second conveying assembly includes a second drive structure, the second drive structure having an output shaft connected to the second conveying member.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the surfaces of the first conveyor and the second conveyor are covered with an elastic buffer layer.
[0028] In one possible implementation, it also includes:
[0029] A sensor, electrically connected to the control structure, is used to detect the position of the tray and send a signal to the control structure.
[0030] A feedback system that dynamically adjusts the rotation period of the first cam assembly and the second cam assembly based on the signal from the sensor.
[0031] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a conveying system, including a conveying line and a conveying module disposed within the conveying line as described in any of the first aspects.
[0032] This application provides a conveying module and conveying system. The conveying module includes a conveying body, a first conveying component, a second conveying component, and a control structure. The control structure enables alternating lifting and lowering movements of the first and second conveying components. When the first conveying component needs to drive a pallet to move in a first direction, the control structure triggers the first conveying component to rise and simultaneously triggers the second conveying component to fall, causing the first conveying component to contact the bottom of the pallet and form a driving contact surface. The second conveying component then disengages from the pallet to avoid interference. Conversely, when the second conveying component needs to drive the pallet to move in a second direction, the control structure triggers the second conveying component to rise and simultaneously triggers the first conveying component to fall, causing the second conveying component to contact the bottom of the pallet and form a driving contact surface. The first conveying component then disengages from the pallet. Through this alternating lifting and lowering logic, the driving actions of the first and second conveying components are completely separated in time, ensuring that the pallet is driven by only one set of conveying components at any given time. This achieves parallel execution of lifting and lateral movement, eliminates mechanical delays during action switching, shortens the overall operating cycle, and meets the needs of high-speed sorting and continuous production.

[0043] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0045] Lifting and transferring equipment is widely used in industrial automated sorting, logistics warehousing, and manufacturing production lines, and plays a crucial role, especially in systems requiring high-efficiency cross-line transport. For example, in a logistics sorting center, when a pallet needs to be transferred from the main conveyor line to a secondary sorting line, the existing equipment must complete five independent actions in sequence: "detection into position - lifting - lateral movement - descent - transport." Each action can only start after the previous action is completely completed, resulting in a time-cumulative effect.
[0046] The core structure of existing lifting and transplanting equipment typically includes an independent lifting mechanism, a lateral movement mechanism, and a control system. Its working principle is as follows: first, sensors detect when the material is in place; then, the lifting mechanism lifts the material to the target height; the lateral movement mechanism transfers the material to the target position; and finally, the lowering mechanism returns the material to the conveyor line. This process relies on the step-by-step cooperation of multiple independent mechanisms, and the sequence of actions must be ensured through time delays or mechanical limits. For example, the lifting mechanism must start only after the material has completely stopped, and the lateral movement mechanism must wait for the lifting to complete before starting to move, resulting in a long operation cycle. Furthermore, existing lifting and lateral movement mechanisms often use independent drives (such as cylinders or motors) and independent control logic, lacking inter-action linkage and making parallel operation difficult.
[0047] Starting with the efficiency bottlenecks of existing technologies, the applicant first analyzed the root cause of the overlapping action cycles and found that the step-by-step execution of independent mechanisms was the core issue. To solve this problem, the inventors proposed a "action coordination" technical approach: replacing time-sharing control with mechanical linkage to overlap the lifting and lateral movement actions in the time dimension. Specifically, the alternating lifting logic of the first and second conveying components was designed, utilizing the mechanical linkage characteristics of the cam assembly to achieve high-precision synchronization. For example, when the first conveying component rises to lift the pallet and drives it to move along the main direction, the second conveying component simultaneously descends and disengages from the pallet; conversely, when the second conveying component rises to lift the pallet and drives it to move laterally, the first conveying component simultaneously descends and disengages from the pallet. This design not only eliminates the waiting time between actions but also ensures the synchronization of actions through the mechanical rigidity of the cam structure, thereby significantly shortening the overall operating cycle. Ultimately, by optimizing the driving logic of the cam assembly and the arrangement of the conveying components, the inventors achieved efficient and stable operation of the equipment.
[0048] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a conveying module and a conveying system. The conveying module includes a conveying body, a first conveying component, a second conveying component, and a control structure. The conveying module achieves alternating lifting and lowering movements of the first and second conveying components through the linkage control of the control structure. When the first conveying component needs to drive the pallet to move along a first direction, the control structure triggers the lifting movement of the first conveying component and simultaneously triggers the lowering movement of the second conveying component, causing the first conveying component to contact the bottom of the pallet and form a driving contact surface, while the second conveying component disengages from the pallet to avoid interference.
[0049] Conversely, when the second conveying component needs to drive the pallet to move in the second direction, the control structure triggers the second conveying component to rise and simultaneously triggers the first conveying component to fall, causing the second conveying component to contact the bottom of the pallet and form a driving contact surface, while the first conveying component disengages from the pallet. Through the above alternating lifting and lowering logic, the driving actions of the first and second conveying components are completely separated in the time dimension, ensuring that the pallet is driven by only one set of conveying components at any given time. This achieves parallel execution of lifting and lateral movement, eliminates mechanical delays during action switching, shortens the overall operating cycle, and meets the needs of high-speed sorting and continuous production.
[0050] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a conveying module, including a conveying body 100, a plurality of first conveying components 200, at least one second conveying component 300, and a control structure 400; the first conveying components 200 are disposed on the conveying body 100; the first conveying components 200 drive the tray to move in a first direction; the plurality of first conveying components 200 are spaced apart along the first direction; the second conveying components 300 are disposed on the conveying body 100; the second conveying components 300 drive the tray to move in a second direction; the second conveying components 300 drive the tray to move among the plurality of first conveying components 200;
[0052] The control structure 400 is electrically connected to the first conveying assembly 200 and the second conveying assembly 300. The control structure 400 controls the first conveying assembly 200 and the second conveying assembly 300 to rise or fall. During the rising of the first conveying assembly 200, the second conveying assembly 300 falls so that the first conveying assembly 200 contacts the pallet and drives the pallet to move in a first direction. During the rising of the second conveying assembly 300, the first conveying assembly 200 falls so that the second conveying assembly 300 contacts the pallet and drives the pallet to move in a second direction.
[0053] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction is the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and the second direction is the lateral direction of moving the pallet to the adjacent conveyor line. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0054] As an alternative implementation, the first direction is the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and the second direction is not perpendicular to the first direction. The second direction is inclined towards the first direction, which can also achieve the effect of moving the pallet to the adjacent conveyor line.
[0055] In this context, the conveying body 100 refers to the mounting base that supports all functional components, such as a frame or platform structure. The first conveying assembly 200 refers to the driving component arranged along a first direction, such as a roller assembly or belt conveyor. The second conveying assembly 300 refers to the driving component arranged along a second direction, such as a roller assembly or lateral movement device interspersed with the first conveying assembly 200. The control structure 400 refers to the linkage mechanism used to control the lifting and lowering actions of the first conveying assembly 200 and the second conveying assembly 300, such as a cam assembly, hydraulic system, or electrical control system. Electrical connection refers to the connection method that realizes control logic through electrical signal transmission, such as cable, wireless communication module, or logic circuit connection.
[0056] The alternating lifting and lowering actions of the first conveying component 200 and the second conveying component 300 are achieved through the linkage control of the control structure 400. When the first conveying component 200 needs to drive the pallet to move in the first direction, the control structure 400 triggers the lifting action of the first conveying component 200 and simultaneously triggers the lowering action of the second conveying component 300, so that the first conveying component 200 contacts the bottom of the pallet and forms a driving contact surface, while the second conveying component 300 disengages from the pallet to avoid interference.
[0057] Conversely, when the second conveying component 300 needs to drive the pallet to move in the second direction, the control structure 400 triggers the rising action of the second conveying component 300 and simultaneously triggers the falling action of the first conveying component 200, so that the second conveying component 300 contacts the bottom of the pallet and forms a driving contact surface, while the first conveying component 200 disengages from the pallet.
[0058] Through the above-mentioned alternating lifting logic, the driving actions of the first conveying component 200 and the second conveying component 300 are completely separated in the time dimension, ensuring that the pallet is driven by only one set of conveying components at any given time, thereby realizing the parallel execution of lifting and lateral movement, eliminating mechanical delays during action switching, shortening the overall operating cycle, and meeting the needs of high-speed sorting and continuous production.
[0059] The linkage control mechanism of the control structure 400 solves the efficiency bottleneck problem caused by the step-by-step execution of existing lifting and transplanting equipment. Specifically, the control structure 400 drives the alternating lifting and lowering of the first conveying component 200 and the second conveying component 300 through electrical signals, completely separating the lifting and lateral movement operations in the time dimension, avoiding the time superposition effect caused by waiting for action switching in traditional step-by-step operations. For example, when the first conveying component 200 rises and contacts the pallet, the second conveying component 300 descends synchronously and disengages from the pallet, ensuring that the pallet is driven only by the first conveying component 200.
[0060] Conversely, when the second conveying component 300 rises and contacts the pallet, the first conveying component 200 descends synchronously and disengages from the pallet, ensuring that the pallet is driven solely by the second conveying component 300. This alternating lifting logic achieves high-precision synchronization through mechanical or electrical linkage, eliminating mechanical vibration issues during action switching and significantly shortening the overall operating cycle.
[0061] Furthermore, the driving directions of the first conveying component 200 and the second conveying component 300 are orthogonal to each other, making pallet transfer more flexible in complex paths and further improving the adaptability of the equipment in cross-line conveying scenarios. Ultimately, this technical solution achieves a breakthrough improvement in lifting and transferring efficiency while maintaining structural compactness, meeting the needs of high-speed sorting and continuous production.
[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control structure 400 further includes a first cam assembly 410 and a second cam assembly 420. The first cam assembly 410 is connected to the first conveying assembly 200; the first cam assembly 410 drives the first conveying assembly 200 to rise or fall; the second cam assembly 420 is connected to the second conveying assembly 300; the second cam assembly 420 drives the second conveying assembly 300 to rise or fall.
[0063] The first cam assembly 410 refers to a mechanical structure that drives the first conveying assembly 200 to rise and fall through rotational motion. For example, it can be a linkage device consisting of a cam disc and a connecting rod driven by a motor. The second cam assembly 420 refers to a mechanical structure that drives the second conveying assembly 300 to rise and fall through rotational motion. For example, it can be a linkage device consisting of a cam disc and a connecting rod driven by a motor.
[0064] The first cam assembly 410 drives the lifting and lowering of the first conveying assembly 200 through rotational motion. When the cam disk rotates, its contour curve converts the rotational motion into linear motion through a connecting rod, causing the first conveying assembly 200 to rise or fall. The second cam assembly 420 drives the lifting and lowering of the second conveying assembly 300 through the same principle. The rotation cycles of the first cam assembly 410 and the second cam assembly 420 are staggered, allowing the lifting and lowering actions of the first conveying assembly 200 and the second conveying assembly 300 to alternate. For example, when the first cam assembly 410 drives the first conveying assembly 200 to rise, the second cam assembly 420 drives the second conveying assembly 300 to fall, and vice versa.
[0065] The precise alternating lifting and lowering of the first conveying component 200 and the second conveying component 300 is achieved through the mechanical linkage of the rotational and linear motion of the cam assembly. The contour curve design of the cam assembly ensures the synchronicity of the lifting and lowering actions, avoiding action conflicts caused by independent control.
[0066] For example, when the first cam assembly 410 drives the first conveying assembly 200 to rise, the contour curve of the second cam assembly 420 synchronously drives the second conveying assembly 300 to fall, enabling the pallet to physically alternate between lifting and lateral transfer actions. This design further shortens the action cycle, improves the overall operating efficiency of the equipment, and reduces the complexity of electrical control through mechanical linkage.
[0067] Specifically, the first cam assembly 410 includes a first cam motor 411 and a first cam structure 412, the first cam structure 412 being connected to the output shaft of the first cam motor 411; during the rotation of the first cam structure 412, it drives the first conveying assembly 200 to rise or fall.
[0068] The first cam motor 411 refers to the motor that provides rotational power to the first cam assembly 410. Examples include a servo motor, a stepper motor, or a DC motor. The first cam structure 412 refers to the cam profile structure that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Examples include an eccentric cam, a trapezoidal cam, or a multi-segment cam profile.
[0069] The first cam motor 411 drives the first cam structure 412 to rotate via its output shaft. The contour curve of the first cam structure 412 is connected to the first conveying assembly 200 via a connecting rod or slider. When the first cam motor 411 starts, the rotational motion of the first cam structure 412 is converted into the linear lifting motion of the first conveying assembly 200. For example, when the high point of the first cam structure 412 contacts the connecting rod, the first conveying assembly 200 rises; when the low point contacts the connecting rod, the first conveying assembly 200 falls.
[0070] The combination of the first cam motor 411 and the first cam structure 412 enables precise control of the lifting and lowering motion of the first conveying component 200. The rotational accuracy of the first cam motor 411 and the contour curve design of the first cam structure 412 work together to ensure the synchronization and stability of the lifting and lowering motion. For example, the first cam motor 411 adjusts its rotational speed through servo control, ensuring that the contour curve of the first cam structure 412 precisely matches the lifting and lowering requirements of the first conveying component 200, thereby further improving the smoothness and reliability of the equipment operation.
[0071] Specifically, the first cam assembly 410 includes a second cam motor 421 and a second cam structure 422, the second cam structure 422 being connected to the output shaft of the second cam motor 421; the second cam structure 422 drives the second conveying assembly 300 to rise or fall during rotation.
[0072] In this embodiment, the second cam motor 421 and the second cam structure 422 have the same structure and the same effect as the first cam motor 411 and the first cam structure 412, and will not be described in detail here.
[0073] Furthermore, in the conveying module provided in this application embodiment, the first conveying component 200 includes a plurality of first conveying members 210, the first conveying members 210 contacting the bottom of the tray and driving the tray to move in a first direction;
[0074] The second conveying assembly 300 includes a plurality of second conveying members 310, which contact the bottom of the pallet and drive the pallet to move in the second direction; the plurality of second conveying members 310 are arranged interspersed with the first conveying member 210.
[0075] It should be noted that the first conveying component 210 refers to a single moving part constituting the first conveying assembly 200.
[0076] Examples of conveying components include rollers, pulleys, or chain links. The second conveying component 310 refers to a single moving part constituting the second conveying assembly 300. Examples of conveying components include rollers, pulleys, or chain links. Interleaved arrangement refers to the spatially staggered distribution of the first conveying component 210 and the second conveying component 310. For example, the first conveying components 210 may be arranged at intervals along the main conveying direction, and the second conveying components 310 may be embedded in the gaps between the first conveying components 210 along the transverse transfer direction.
[0077] The first conveying components 210 are spaced apart along the main conveying direction, and the second conveying components 310 are embedded in the gaps between the first conveying components 210 along the lateral transfer direction. When the first conveying assembly 200 drives the pallet to move along the main conveying direction, the second conveying components 310 do not need to make extra space for lateral movement, but directly use the gaps between the first conveying components 210 to complete the lateral transfer action. For example, when the pallet is lifted by the first conveying assembly 200, the second conveying components 310 contact the pallet through the interlaced gaps and drive it to move laterally.
[0078] By employing an interleaved arrangement of conveyor components, space is reused, avoiding the extra space required by traditional lifting mechanisms. The staggered distribution of the first conveyor component 210 and the second conveyor component 310 creates a shared channel for lifting and lateral transfer actions, significantly reducing the overall size of the equipment. For example, when a pallet moves along the main conveying direction, the second conveyor component 310 directly utilizes the gaps in the first conveyor component 210 to complete the lateral transfer, avoiding space redundancy caused by independent lifting platforms. This design further enhances the compactness of the equipment, adapting to the layout requirements of high-density production lines.
[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first conveyor 210 includes a roller conveyor, and the second conveyor 310 includes a belt conveyor.
[0080] As an alternative implementation, the first conveyor 210 can be a belt or chain link, and the second conveyor 310 can be a roller or chain link.
[0081] Furthermore, in the conveying module provided in this application embodiment, the first conveying component 200 includes a first driving structure 220, which is fixed on the conveying body 100, and the output shaft of the first driving structure 220 is connected to the first conveying member 210; the second conveying component 300 includes a second driving structure 320, which includes a second driving structure 320, and the output shaft of the second driving structure 320 is connected to the second conveying member 310.
[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first drive structure 220 and the second drive structure 320 are motor drive structures. A motor drive structure refers to a drive method that uses a motor to provide power. Examples include servo motors, stepper motors, or DC motor drive systems.
[0083] The first drive structure 220 and the second drive structure 320 provide rotational power through a motor, driving the lifting and moving actions of the first conveying assembly 200 and the second conveying assembly 300. For example, the motor transmits power to the conveying assembly through a belt or gear, realizing the main conveying direction movement and lateral transfer action of the pallet.
[0084] The standardized design of the motor drive structure enables modularity and ease of maintenance for the equipment. The versatility of the motor drive structure reduces manufacturing costs and maintenance complexity, while servo control improves motion precision. This design further enhances the equipment's industrial applicability and economic efficiency.
[0085] Specifically, the surfaces of the first conveyor 210 and the second conveyor 310 are covered with an elastic buffer layer.
[0086] An elastic buffer layer refers to an elastic material layer used to absorb impact forces. Examples include rubber, silicone, or polyurethane.
[0087] The elastic buffer layer absorbs the impact force of the pallet during lifting and lateral transfer through compression deformation. For example, when the pallet comes into contact with the first conveyor 210, the elastic buffer layer undergoes compression deformation to absorb the vertical impact force; when the pallet comes into contact with the second conveyor 310, the elastic buffer layer releases the stored elastic potential energy through recovery deformation to assist the pallet in stable movement.
[0088] By utilizing the compression and recovery deformation of the elastic buffer layer, both the smoothness of pallet movement and driving efficiency are optimized. The elastic buffer layer absorbs the vertical impact generated by lifting and lowering movements, reducing pallet displacement errors, while simultaneously improving the driving efficiency of lateral transfer movements through the feedback of elastic potential energy. This design further reduces frictional interference between the pallet and the conveyor components, avoiding slippage or jamming issues.
[0089] Furthermore, it also includes sensors and a feedback system. The sensors are electrically connected to the control structure 400; the sensors are used to detect the position of the tray and send signals to the control structure 400; the feedback system dynamically adjusts the rotation period of the first cam assembly 410 and the second cam assembly 420 based on the sensor signals. The sensor refers to a sensing device used to detect the position of the tray. Examples include photoelectric sensors, vision recognition systems, or pressure sensors. The feedback system refers to a control system that adjusts the rotation period of the cam assemblies based on sensor signals. Examples include a PLC controller or an embedded logic control module.
[0090] The sensor collects the pallet's position information in real time and sends the signal to the feedback system. The feedback system dynamically adjusts the rotation cycle of the first cam assembly 410 and the second cam assembly 420 based on the position deviation, ensuring that the timing of the lifting and lateral transfer actions matches the actual position of the pallet. For example, when the pallet is not perfectly aligned, the feedback system automatically extends or shortens the rotation cycle of the cam assemblies to optimize the timing of the actions.
[0091] Through dynamic adjustments of sensors and a feedback system, the equipment achieves adaptive compensation for pallet position deviations. When the pallet is not perfectly aligned, the feedback system can complete the transfer action without waiting for additional calibration time, thereby further shortening the overall operation cycle. This design significantly improves the dynamic adaptability of the equipment, enabling it to maintain efficient operation even under complex working conditions.
[0092] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a conveying system, including a conveying line and a conveying module disposed within the conveying line according to any one of the first aspects.
