Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of overhead railcar transport systems, and in particular discloses a transport device and a method for cooperating with an overhead railcar system. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines, overhead rail systems work in conjunction with ground conveying devices to achieve continuous material transport and automated cross-process transfer. To prevent material displacement due to start-stop inertia, equipment vibration, and other factors during transport, and to improve the gripping and positioning accuracy of the overhead rail system, existing conveying devices are generally equipped with clamping components to apply clamping force to the material and limit the movement of the sheet metal during transport.

[0003] When the grabbing component of the overhead rail car descends to grab the material on the conveying device and applies a vertically upward lifting force to perform the transfer, the clamping component of the conveying device continues to apply a clamping force to the material. During the vertical lifting process, this clamping force will cause the material to be subjected to a sliding friction force opposite to the lifting direction. This will not only interfere with the lifting action of the overhead rail car and affect the stability of the material transfer, but also damage the surface of the material. Summary of the Invention

Move the frame to move the material to the station where the overhead rail car grabs the material; The overhead rail car descends and grabs the material. During the descent, the cooperative switching component is driven to work, eliminating the clamping force applied to the material by the driving component through the clamping component. After grabbing the material, the overhead rail car lifts and transports the material. Move the frame to the workstation where materials are placed; The driving component drives the clamping component to work, and the two clamping plates move away from each other, so that there is sufficient space between the two clamping plates for placing materials.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, the overhead rail car comes into contact with the cooperative switching component and pushes the cooperative switching component to work. This ensures that although the clamping plate comes into contact with the material, it cannot apply clamping force to the material. The clamping force applied by the clamping plate to the material can be eliminated in time. The overhead rail car can lift and transfer the material without being subjected to other external forces. This avoids damage to the overhead rail car caused by clamping force during the lifting process and improves the coordination between the overhead rail car and the conveying device. 2. With the combined action of the chain, sprocket, sliding plate and clamping plate, the two clamping plates move synchronously, which improves the movement accuracy of the two clamping plates, thereby ensuring that the clamping force applied by the two clamping plates to the material is the same, so that the material is subjected to uniform force and avoids material damage. 3. The first detection sensor monitors the position of the first push plate and the second push plate and controls the drive module in a timely manner to further improve the movement accuracy of the two clamping plates. This avoids excessive clamping force on the material and protects the material, while also preventing the distance between the two clamping plates from being too large and exceeding the movement stroke of the clamping plates.

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] This application discloses a conveying device and a method for cooperating with a skyrail system.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying device that works in conjunction with the overhead rail system includes a frame 1, a clamping assembly 2, a coordination switching assembly 3, and a drive assembly 4. The top of the frame 1 has a placement plate for placing materials, and below the placement plate is a mounting cavity for housing the clamping assembly 2, the coordination switching assembly 3, and the drive assembly 4. The frame 1 is mounted on a conveyor belt, which allows the frame 1 to slide, moving it between the material placement station and the overhead rail's material grabbing station.

[0021] The clamping assembly 2 includes two clamping plates 21, which are symmetrically and slidably mounted on the frame 1. The drive assembly 4 is connected to the clamping plates 21 and can drive the two clamping plates 21 to move toward each other or away from each other.

[0022] The drive assembly 4 is connected to the cooperative switching assembly 3. When the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, the overhead rail car can abut against the cooperative switching assembly 3 and drive the cooperative switching assembly 3 to work, eliminating the force applied to the clamping plate 21 by the drive assembly 4, thereby eliminating the clamping force applied to the material by the clamping plate 21, improving the coordination between the overhead rail car and the conveying device, and avoiding damage to the material during the transfer process.

[0023] The collaborative switching assembly 3 includes a collaborative lever 31 and a reset member 32. One end of the collaborative lever 31 is a pressure rod 311, and the other end is a rocker arm 312. The connection between the pressure rod 311 and the rocker arm 312 is rotatably mounted on the clamping plate 21. The pressure rod 311 can abut against the overhead rail car, and the rocker arm 312 is connected to the reset member 32, which enables the collaborative lever 31 to reset when not subjected to external force.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 4 includes a drive element 41, a push block 42, and a spring 43. The drive element 41 is mounted on the frame 1, and the push block 42 is connected to the drive element 41. The drive element 41 can drive the push block 42 to move closer to or away from the cooperating lever 31.

[0025] When the push block 42 is located on the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21, and the push block 42 moves toward the cooperating lever 31, the push block 42 can abut against the rocker arm 312 of the cooperating lever 31 and push the cooperating lever 31 to move synchronously.

[0026] When the pressure bar 311 of the cooperating lever 31 comes into contact with the overhead rail car, the rocker arm 312 of the cooperating lever 31 rotates accordingly, and the push block 42 can move from the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21 to the side of the cooperating lever 31 close to the clamping plate 21.

[0027] When the push block 42 is located on the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21, and the push block 42 moves towards the cooperating lever 31, the push block 42 can abut against the rocker arm 312 of the cooperating lever 31 and push the rocker arm 312 to rotate. The push block 42 can move from the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21 to the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21. One end of the spring 43 is mounted on the drive member 41, and the other end of the spring 43 is fixedly connected to the push block 42.

[0028] First, the material is placed on the frame 1. The drive unit 41 drives the push block 42 and spring 43 to move towards the cooperating lever 31. The side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21 abuts against the push block 42. Then, the drive unit 41 continues to drive the push block 42 and spring 43 to move. The length of the spring 43 is compressed. The movement of the push block 42 and spring 43 simultaneously drives the cooperating lever 31 and clamping plate 21 to move, causing the two clamping plates 21 to move towards each other. Finally, the material is clamped by the two clamping plates 21 and fixed on the frame 1. This prevents the material from shifting position during the conveying process due to start-stop inertia, equipment vibration, and other factors, thus improving the gripping and positioning accuracy of the overhead rail vehicle.

[0029] When the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, it comes into contact with the cooperating lever 31, causing the lever 31 to rotate. One end of the pressure rod 311 of the cooperating lever 31 descends, and one end of the rocker arm 312 of the cooperating lever 31 rises. After the rocker arm 312 is raised, under the action of the spring 43, the push block 42 is pushed to the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21. The cooperating lever 31 and the clamping plate 21 lose the thrust from the driving component 41, so that although the clamping plate 21 comes into contact with the material, it cannot apply clamping force to the material. The overhead rail car can lift and transfer the material without being subjected to other external forces.

[0030] Under the action of the cooperative switching component 3, when the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, the clamping force applied to the material by the clamping component 2 can be eliminated in time, avoiding damage caused by the clamping force on the overhead rail car during the material lifting process, and improving the coordination between the overhead rail car and the conveying device.

[0031] After the overhead rail car is lifted, it disengages from the pressure rod 311. Under the action of the reset component 32, the cooperating lever 31 returns to its initial state.

[0032] When it is necessary to place materials on the frame 1 again, the drive unit 41 drives the push block 42 located on the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21 to move. The push block 42 moves towards the cooperating lever 31, and the push block 42 abuts against the rocker arm 312 and pushes the rocker arm 312 to rotate until the push block 42 moves to the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21. Then the drive unit 41 continues to push the clamping plate 21 to move, so that the two clamping plates 21 move away from each other, and the space between the two clamping plates 21 increases, so as to facilitate the placement of materials on the frame 1.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reset member 32 is a tension spring, one end of which is rotatably connected to the rocker arm 312, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 21. The tension spring always applies a force to the rocker arm 312 of the cooperating lever 31 in a direction away from the top of the frame 1.

[0034] After the pressure bar 311 contacts the overhead rail car, the rocker arm 312 rotates towards the top of the frame 1, and the tension spring is stretched. During the process of the overhead rail car being raised and finally disengaging from the pressure bar 311, the tension spring continuously pulls the rocker arm 312 to rotate away from the top of the frame 1, so that the cooperating lever 31 returns to its initial state before contacting the overhead rail car.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the shape of the push block 42 is a platform. When the push block 42 is located on the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21, the cross-sectional area of ​​the push block 42 near the cooperating lever 31 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the push block 42 away from the cooperating lever 31.

[0036] When the drive assembly 4 moves the cooperating lever 31 and the clamping plate 21 by pushing the block 42, causing the two clamping plates 21 to move closer to each other, the end of the push block 42 with the larger cross-sectional area abuts against the cooperating lever 31, ensuring that the contact area between the push block 42 and the cooperating lever 31 is large enough, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the push block 42 driving the cooperating lever 31.

[0037] When the push block 42 is located on the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21, and the push block 42 moves towards the cooperating lever 31 under the action of the drive component 4, the end of the push block 42 with the smaller cross-sectional area abuts against the rocker arm 312, which facilitates the rocker arm 312 being lifted. At the same time, the side wall of the push block 42 abuts against the rocker arm 312, and the side wall of the push block 42 guides the rocker arm 312, causing the rocker arm 312 to rotate so that the push block 42 can pass through.

[0038] Furthermore, a mating groove is provided through the rocker arm 312. The groove surface is inclined along the movement direction of the push block 42. The mating groove can be adapted to the push block 42. With the mating groove surface of the push block 42 with the smaller cross-sectional area of ​​the push block 42, the rocker arm 312 can be lifted more easily, avoiding dead points when the rocker arm 312 is lifted by the push block 42, and improving the stability and reliability of the cooperative switching component 3.

[0039] The drive unit 41 includes a drive module 411, a first push plate 412, a guide shaft 413, and a second push plate 414. The fixed end of the drive module 411 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the first push plate 412 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive module 411. The first push plate 412 can abut against the clamping plate 21.

[0040] The guide shaft 413 is coaxially and fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive module 411. The push block 42 is sleeved and slidably mounted on the guide shaft 413, and the spring 43 is sleeved on the guide shaft 413. The second push plate 414 is fixedly mounted on the end of the guide shaft 413 away from the drive module 411. The clamping plate 21 and the cooperating lever 31 are always located between the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414. The end of the spring 43 away from the push block 42 is fixedly connected to the second push plate 414.

[0041] When the two clamping plates 21 are driven to approach each other and clamp the material by the drive unit 41, the output end of the drive module 411 drives the second push plate 414 to move towards the clamping plate 21. The movement of the second push plate 414 causes the push block 42 to abut against the cooperating lever 31 and applies a pushing force to the cooperating lever 31 through the spring 43 and the push block 42. The length of the spring 43 is compressed, and the two clamping plates 21 move towards each other and clamp the material.

[0042] When the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, the overhead rail car abuts against the pressure bar 311, the rocker arm 312 is lifted, the rocker arm 312 disengages from the push block 42, the spring 43 returns to its original length, and under the action of the spring 43, the push block 42 slides on the guide shaft 413 to the side of the cooperating lever 31 near the clamping plate 21. The cooperating lever 31 and the clamping plate 21 lose the external force from the drive assembly 4, thereby causing the material to lose the clamping force from the clamping plate 21, so that the overhead rail car can lift and transfer the material without being subjected to other external forces.

[0043] When the two clamping plates 21 are driven away from each other by the drive unit 41, the output end of the drive module 411 drives the first push plate 412 to move closer to the clamping plate 21. The first push plate 412 abuts against the clamping plate 21 and pushes the clamping plate 21 and the cooperating lever 31 to move, so that the two clamping plates 21 move away from each other. Under the action of the spring 43, the push block 42 pushes the cooperating lever 31 to rotate and move to the side of the cooperating lever 31 away from the clamping plate 21, so as to repeat the above working process.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping plate 21 has a first clearance hole 213 through it. For ease of understanding, the two clamping plates 21 are the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 212, respectively.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 2 also includes a sliding plate 22, a sprocket 23, and a chain 24. The sliding plate 22 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 and fixedly connected to the first clamping plate 211, and the cooperating lever 31 is rotatably mounted on one side wall of the sliding plate 22. A second clearance hole 221 is provided through the sliding plate 22, through which the push block 42, the spring 43, and the guide shaft 413 can all pass, and the first push plate 412 can abut against the sliding plate 22.

[0046] Two sprockets 23 are provided, symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the frame 1. Two chains 24 are also provided; one end of each chain 24 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second clamping plate 212. The two chains 24 are respectively wound around and meshed with the two sprockets 23. Through the interconnection between the two chains 24, the sliding plate 22, the second clamping plate 212, and the two sprockets 23, the two chains 24 form a closed loop. The two chains 24 are correspondingly inserted into the two first clearance holes 213. For ease of understanding, the two chains 24 are referred to as the first chain 241 and the second chain 242.

[0047] When the two clamping plates 21 are driven to move closer together by the drive assembly 4, the drive assembly 4 pushes the sliding plate 22 to move closer to the second clamping plate 212. Simultaneously, the sliding plate 22 moves, and the first chain 241 pulls the second clamping plate 212 closer to the sliding plate 22, ultimately causing the two clamping plates 21 to move closer together. When the two clamping plates 21 are driven to move away from each other by the drive assembly 4, the drive assembly 4 pushes the sliding plate 22 to move away from the second clamping plate 212. Simultaneously, the sliding plate 22 moves, and the second chain 242 pulls the second clamping plate 212 away from the sliding plate 22, ultimately causing the two clamping plates 21 to move away from each other.

[0048] With the combined action of chain 24, sprocket 23, sliding plate 22 and clamping plate 21, the two clamping plates 21 move synchronously, improving the movement accuracy of the two clamping plates 21, thereby ensuring that the clamping force applied by the two clamping plates 21 to the material is the same, so that the material is subjected to uniform force and avoids damage to the material.

[0049] The movement of the sliding plate 22 and the second clamping plate 212 simultaneously drives the movement of the second chain 242, thereby stabilizing and balancing the forces between the sliding plate 22 and the second clamping plate 212, and improving the structural stability and operational reliability of the clamping assembly 2.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 The drive module 411 includes a housing 4111, a rack 4112, and a rotary motor 4113. The housing 4111 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The rack 4112 passes through and slides on the housing 4111. The first push plate 412 is fixedly mounted on the rack 4112. The guide shaft 413 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the rack 4112. The fixed end of the rotary motor 4113 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the rotary motor 4113 passes through the housing 4111. A transmission gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 4113, and the transmission gear meshes with the rack 4112.

[0051] When the drive module 411 needs to drive the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414 to move, the control motor 4113 is activated. The output end of the drive motor 4113 rotates, which in turn drives the transmission gear to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear drives the rack 4112 to slide, and the sliding of the rack 4112 drives the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414 to move. By cooperating with the drive motor 4113 and the rack 4112, precise control of the movement position of the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414 is achieved, further improving the movement accuracy of the two clamping plates 21.

[0052] Furthermore, a first detection sensor 11 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The first detection sensor 11 is used to detect the position of the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414. The first detection sensor 11 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 4113 and can control the start and stop of the rotating motor 4113.

[0053] When the two clamping plates 21 are driven away from each other by the driving component 41, the driving module 411 drives the first push plate 412 to move closer to the clamping plate 21 and pushes the clamping plate 21 to move. When the first push plate 412 moves to the detection point of the first detection sensor 11 and is detected, the first detection sensor 11 controls the driving module 411 to stop working and fix the position of the clamping plate 21.

[0054] Similarly, when the two clamping plates 21 are driven to approach each other by the drive unit 41, the drive module 411 drives the second push plate 414 to move towards the clamping plate 21, causing the clamping plate 21 to move. When the second push plate 414 moves to the detection point of the first detection sensor 11 and is detected, the first detection sensor 11 controls the drive module 411 to stop working, fixing the position of the clamping plate 21. The first detection sensor 11 monitors the position of the first push plate 412 and the second push plate 414 and controls the drive module 411 in a timely manner, further improving the movement accuracy of the two clamping plates 21. This avoids excessive clamping force on the material by the clamping plates 21, protecting the material, and also avoids excessive distance between the two clamping plates 21, exceeding the travel range of the clamping plates 21.

[0055] Furthermore, a third push plate 415 is fixedly installed at the end of the rack 4112 away from the first push plate 412, and a second detection sensor 12 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The second detection sensor 12 is used to detect the position of the third push plate 415. The second detection sensor 12 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 4113 and can control the start and stop of the rotating motor 4113.

[0056] When the two clamping plates 21 are driven to approach each other by the drive unit 41, the drive module 411 drives the second push plate 414 to move towards the first clamping plate 211, while the third push plate 415 moves towards the second clamping plate 212. When the third push plate 415 moves to the detection point of the second detection sensor 12 and is detected, the second detection sensor 12 controls the drive module 411 to stop working, fixing the position of the clamping plates 21. During the process of the two clamping plates 21 approaching each other and clamping the material, the second detection sensor 12 monitors the position of the third push plate 415 and controls the drive module 411 in a timely manner, further improving the accuracy of the movement control of the two clamping plates 21, avoiding excessive clamping force of the clamping plates 21 on the material, and protecting the material.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 A limiting component 5 is installed on the sliding plate 22. The limiting component 5 includes a limiting bolt 51 and a limiting plate 52. There are two limiting bolts 51, which are fixedly installed on the sliding plate 22. The rocker arm 312 is located between the two limiting bolts 51, and the limiting plate 52 is fixedly installed on the two limiting bolts 51.

[0058] Two limiting bolts 51 limit the rocker arm 312, limiting the angle at which the cooperating lever 31 can rotate. This prevents the cooperating lever 31 from rotating too much due to inertia when the overhead rail car or the reset component 32 drives the cooperating lever 31 to rotate, which would affect the normal operation of the clamping assembly 2 or the drive assembly 4 and improve the operational reliability and stability of the conveying device that cooperates with the overhead rail car system.

[0059] The implementation principle of the conveying device in this application embodiment that cooperates with the overhead rail system is as follows: First, the material is placed on the frame 1, and the driving component 41 applies a pushing force to the two clamping plates 21 so that the two clamping plates 21 clamp the material.

[0060] When the overhead rail car descends and grabs the material, it comes into contact with the cooperating lever 31 and pushes the cooperating lever 31 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 21 loses the thrust from the driving component 41. Although the clamping plate 21 comes into contact with the material, it cannot apply clamping force to the material. The clamping force applied to the material by the clamping component 2 can be eliminated in time. The overhead rail car can lift and transfer the material without being subjected to other external forces, avoiding damage caused by the clamping force on the overhead rail car during the lifting process, and improving the coordination between the overhead rail car and the conveying device.

[0061] This application also discloses a method for cooperating with a conveying device in conjunction with a skyrail system, comprising the following steps: At the material placement station, the material is placed on the frame 1. The drive assembly 4 drives the clamping assembly 2 to work. The two clamping plates 21 move closer to each other and clamp the material, so that the material is stably fixed on the frame 1. Move frame 1 to move the material to the station where the overhead rail car grabs the material; The overhead rail car descends and grabs the material. During the descent, the drive coordination switching component 3 works to eliminate the clamping force applied to the material by the drive component 4 through the clamping component 2. After grabbing the material, the overhead rail car lifts and transports the material. Move frame 1 to the workstation where materials are placed; The driving component 4 drives the clamping component 2 to work, and the two clamping plates 21 move away from each other, so that there is enough space between the two clamping plates 21 for placing materials.

[0062] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
