Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material transfer technology, and more specifically, to a multilayer sheet material logistics docking device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily factory production, especially in the SMT industry, automated material handling is an indispensable operation. However, the types of workpieces that need to be handled are numerous. When transferring materials from single-specification machines to machines with multiple specifications, multiple round trips are usually required, resulting in low operational efficiency. Chinese patent application number 201910953892X discloses a production line docking mechanism that uses AGVs to transport AGV transport carts to the target position, thereby achieving fully automated material handling. However, it can only handle the transfer of a single specification of material at a time. When transferring materials to machines with multiple specifications, multiple round trips are usually required, resulting in low operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a multi-layer sheet material logistics docking device, which can transfer multiple materials of different specifications in a single operation; when multiple specification machines are transferring materials, the transfer can be completed in one operation, thus improving work efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multi-layer sheet material logistics docking device, including a driving mechanism and a multi-layer conveying mechanism installed between two vertical plates. The conveying mechanism includes a drive shaft and two oppositely arranged conveyor bars. The sheet material is supported on the two conveyor bars, and the drive shaft drives the two conveyor bars to rotate. The driving mechanism includes a drive bar and a movable clutch seat. The clutch seat moves towards the drive bar, causing the drive bar to drive the drive shaft to rotate.

[0005] In operation, the docking device is installed on the equipment. The AGV transports materials from the previous process to the relevant equipment in the next process. According to pre-set parameters, materials of corresponding specifications are transferred to the corresponding level of the conveyor mechanism, and so on, until the docking device is full of materials of multiple specifications. Then, based on the specifications required by the equipment, the corresponding layer of material is selected for loading. During loading, the clutch seat of the corresponding layer moves towards the drive bar, causing the drive bar to drive the drive shaft of the corresponding layer, which in turn drives the conveyor bar of that layer, transporting the material to the equipment's working area. After completing the operation, the AGV returns to the docking device. After processing all layers, the AGV docks with the docking device again to receive materials for transfer to the next process.

[0006] A multi-layer conveyor system is installed between the vertical plates, enabling the transfer of materials of various specifications. The movement of the clutch seat activates the corresponding conveyor bars, allowing each layer to operate independently, flexibly and conveniently. The plates are supported on two conveyor bars, and are transported smoothly and reliably as the bars rotate. When transferring materials of various specifications, the transfer can be completed in one operation, improving operational efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the clutch seat is provided with two guide wheels, and the transmission bar is placed between the guide wheels and the transmission shaft. The clutch seat moves towards the transmission bar so that the transmission bar is engaged with the transmission shaft, and the rotation of the transmission bar drives the transmission shaft to rotate.

[0008] In this design, the transmission bar is positioned between the drive shaft and the guide wheels. The clutch seat moves towards the transmission bar and pushes it to engage with the drive shaft. At this point, the two guide wheels are positioned on the upper and lower sides of the drive shaft, respectively, to position the transmission bar. The rotation of the transmission bar drives the drive shaft to rotate, thus enabling the conveyor bar to operate and transport the sheet metal. Once the sheet metal is in place, the clutch seat moves in the reverse direction, disengaging the transmission bar from the drive shaft, and the conveyor bar stops operating.

[0009] Another option involves setting a rotating shaft on the clutch seat, with a small-diameter wheel and a large-diameter wheel mounted on the shaft. A positioning wheel is installed between two adjacent clutch seats on the vertical plate. The transmission bar is sandwiched between the positioning wheel and the small-diameter wheel. The clutch seat moves towards the transmission bar, causing the small-diameter wheel to engage with the transmission bar and the large-diameter wheel to engage with the transmission shaft. The rotation of the transmission bar drives the small-diameter wheel to rotate, and the large-diameter wheel rotates with the small-diameter wheel, driving the transmission shaft to rotate.

[0010] When the clutch seat separates from the drive bar, the large-diameter wheel separates from the drive shaft, and the drive shaft stops rotating. After the clutch seat moves closer to the drive bar, the small-diameter wheel engages with the drive bar, and the large-diameter wheel engages with the drive shaft. At this time, the drive bar rotates, which drives the small-diameter wheel to rotate. The large-diameter wheel rotates with the small-diameter wheel and drives the drive shaft to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of the conveyor bar.

[0011] Preferably, a clutch piston cylinder corresponding to the clutch seat is installed on the upright plate, and the extension rod of the clutch piston cylinder is connected to the clutch seat.

[0012] The clutch seat is moved smoothly and reliably by a clutch piston cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, a tensioning piston cylinder is installed on the upright plate, and the telescopic rod of the tensioning piston cylinder is connected to the drive tensioning wheel, which presses the drive tensioning wheel against the transmission bar.

[0014] The telescopic rod of the tensioning piston cylinder extends and retracts to ensure that the drive tensioning wheel is always pressed against the transmission bar, thereby achieving tensioning of the transmission bar.

[0015] Preferably, a conveyor tensioning wheel is installed on the upright plate, with the conveyor tensioning wheel positioned below the conveyor bar, and the conveyor bar pressed against the conveyor tensioning wheel.

[0016] The conveyor tensioning wheel tensions the conveyor strip, ensuring its smooth operation.

[0017] Preferably, positioning guides are installed above the conveying mechanism on the opposite surfaces of the two upright plates, and the inlet of the opposite surfaces of the two positioning guides is inclined to form a guide surface.

[0018] The positioning guides play a guiding role in the conveying of the sheet material. The guide surfaces on the two positioning guides ensure that the sheet material can be guided and aligned, thus ensuring that the conveyed sheet material can enter smoothly.

[0019] Preferably, a support bar corresponding to the conveyor bar is installed on the upright plate, and a positioning groove is provided on the support bar, with the upper part of the support bar supported in the positioning groove.

[0020] The support bar ensures the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor bar, while the positioning groove plays a positioning role for the conveyor bar, ensuring the accuracy of the conveyor bar's transfer position and preventing deviation.

[0021] Preferably, the drive shaft includes a front shaft, a middle shaft, and a rear shaft. The front shaft and the rear shaft are rotatably mounted on two vertical plates, and the front shaft and the middle shaft, as well as the middle shaft and the rear shaft, are connected by couplings. Conveyor bars are installed on the front shaft and the rear shaft.

[0022] When changing the conveyor bar, simply loosen the coupling to disconnect the drive shaft, allowing for a quick replacement of the conveyor bar.

[0023] Preferably, an adjustable plate with movable settings is installed on a vertical plate. The adjustable plate is equipped with a drive shaft and a driven shaft. A driven wheel is installed on the driven shaft. A drive wheel is slidably mounted on the drive shaft. The drive wheel is fitted with a rotating sleeve. The rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The conveyor bar is driven between the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0024] The axial position of the drive shaft and driven shaft can be adjusted by moving the adjustment plate, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two opposite conveyor bars to accommodate the loading and conveying of plates of different sizes.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The docking device of this patent application is equipped with a multi-layer conveying mechanism between the two upright plates, which can realize the transfer of multiple different specifications of materials in one go. The corresponding layer of conveying strips can be operated by moving the clutch seat, so that each layer of conveying mechanism can operate independently; moreover, when multiple specifications of machine tools are used for material transfer, the transfer can be completed in one go, and the operation efficiency is high; (2) The positioning guide strip plays a guiding role in the conveying of the plate material. The guide surface on the two positioning guide strips realizes the alignment of the plate material, ensuring that the conveyed plate material can enter smoothly; (3) The moving adjustment plate can realize the adjustment of the axial position of the drive shaft and the driven shaft, and then adjust the spacing between the two pairs of conveying strips to adapt to the loading and conveying of plate materials of different sizes.

At this time, the two guide wheels 7 are positioned on the upper and lower sides of the transmission shaft 3, respectively, to position the transmission bar 5. The rotation of the transmission bar 5 drives the transmission shaft 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of the conveyor bar 4.

The multi-layer conveyor mechanism is arranged vertically at intervals. A base plate 2 connects the lower ends of the two upright plates 1. The conveyor mechanism includes a drive shaft 3 and two oppositely arranged conveyor bars 4. The two conveyor bars 4 are respectively positioned close to the two upright plates 1, and the sheet material is supported on the two conveyor bars 4. The drive shaft 3 drives the two conveyor bars 4 to rotate. The two ends of the drive shaft 3 are respectively rotatably mounted on the two upright plates 1. The drive mechanism includes a transmission bar 5 and a movable clutch seat 6. The clutch seat 6 is arranged one-to-one with the multi-layer conveyor mechanism. The clutch seat 6 moves towards the transmission bar 5, causing the transmission bar 5 to drive the drive shaft 3 to rotate. The conveyor bar 4 and the transmission bar 5 are respectively a conveyor belt and a transmission belt.

[0053] A rotating shaft 26 is mounted on the clutch seat 6, and a small-diameter wheel 27 and a large-diameter wheel 28 are mounted on the rotating shaft 26. A positioning wheel 29 is installed between two adjacent clutch seats 6 on the vertical plate 1. The transmission bar 5 is sandwiched between the positioning wheel 29 and the small-diameter wheel 27. The clutch seat 6 moves towards the transmission bar 5, causing the small-diameter wheel 27 to engage with the transmission bar 5, and the large-diameter wheel 28 to engage with the transmission shaft 3. The rotation of the transmission bar 5 drives the small-diameter wheel 27 to rotate, and the large-diameter wheel 28 rotates with the small-diameter wheel 27, driving the transmission shaft 3 to rotate. A transmission wheel 8 corresponding to the clutch seat 6 is provided at the end of the transmission shaft 3. A ring of meshing teeth is provided on the outer wall of the transmission wheel 8. The large-diameter wheel 28 is a gear, and the large-diameter wheel 28 meshes with the meshing teeth on the outer wall of the transmission wheel 8 for transmission. A clutch piston cylinder 9 corresponding to the clutch seat 6 is mounted on the vertical plate 1, and the extension rod of the clutch piston cylinder 9 is connected to the clutch seat 6. The clutch piston cylinder 9 drives the clutch seat 6 to move smoothly and reliably. After the sheet material is conveyed to the correct position, the clutch piston cylinder 9 drives the clutch seat 6 to move in the opposite direction, the large-diameter wheel 28 separates from the transmission wheel 8, and the conveyor bar 4 stops operating.

[0054] A conveyor tensioning wheel 10 is installed on the upright plate 1, positioned below the conveyor bar 4, which is pressed against it. The conveyor tensioning wheel 10 tensions the conveyor bar 4, ensuring its smooth operation. Positioning guide bars 11 are installed above the conveying mechanism on the opposing surfaces of the two upright plates 1. The inlet surfaces of the two positioning guide bars 11 are angled to form guide surfaces 12. The positioning guide bars 11 guide the conveying of the sheet material, and the guide surfaces 12 on the two positioning guide bars 11 ensure the sheet material is aligned and can enter smoothly. Support bars 13, corresponding to the conveyor bar 4, are installed on the upright plate 1. The support bars 13 are positioned close to the positioning guide bars 11, below them, and have positioning grooves 14 on them, with the upper part of the support bars 13 supported within these grooves. The support bar 13 ensures the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor bar 4, and the positioning groove 14 plays a positioning role for the conveyor bar 4, ensuring the accuracy of the transfer position of the conveyor bar 4 and preventing deviation.

[0055] A tensioning piston cylinder 15 is installed on the upright plate 1. The telescopic rod of the tensioning piston cylinder 15 is connected to a drive tensioning wheel 16, which presses against the transmission bar 5. A drive motor 17 is installed on the upright plate 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 17 is connected to the transmission bar 5. An upper guide wheel 18 and a lower guide wheel 19 are installed on the upper and lower parts of the upright plate 1, respectively. Both the upper guide wheel 18 and the lower guide wheel 19 are connected to the transmission bar 5. The upper guide wheel 18 and the lower guide wheel 19 position the transmission bar 5, ensuring that the transmission bar 5 runs between the guide wheel 7 and the transmission wheel 8.

[0056] The drive shaft 3 includes a front shaft 20, a middle shaft 21, and a rear shaft 22. The front shaft 20 and the rear shaft 22 are rotatably mounted on two vertical plates 1, respectively. The front shaft 20 and the middle shaft 21, as well as the middle shaft 21 and the rear shaft 22, are connected by couplings 23. Conveyor bars 4 are mounted on the front shaft 20 and the rear shaft 22. The front shaft 20 is rotatably connected to one vertical plate 1, and the rear shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the other vertical plate 1. A drive wheel 8 is mounted on the rear shaft 22. When replacing the conveyor bars 4, the drive shaft 3 can be disconnected by loosening the coupling 23, allowing for quick replacement of the conveyor bars 4. Two drive wheels 24 are mounted on the drive shaft 3, and driven wheels 25 are mounted on both vertical plates 1. The conveyor bars 4 are driven between the drive wheels 24 and the driven wheels 25.

[0057] An adjustable plate 30 is mounted on a vertical plate 1. The adjustable plate 30 has screw holes 31. A screw 32, corresponding to the adjustable plate 30, is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 1. The screw 32 is threaded into the screw holes 31, and rotation of the screw 32 moves the adjustable plate 30. A drive shaft 33 and a driven shaft 34 are mounted on the adjustable plate 30. Both the drive shaft 33 and the driven shaft 34 are movably inserted into the vertical plate 1. A driven wheel 25 is mounted on the driven shaft 34. A drive wheel 24 is slidably mounted on the transmission shaft 3. The drive wheel 24 and the transmission shaft 3 are circumferentially locked. A rotating sleeve 35 is fitted onto the drive wheel 24, and the rotating sleeve 35 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33. A conveyor tensioning wheel 10 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 33. A conveyor bar 4 is driven between the drive wheel 24 and the driven wheel 25. By rotating the screw 32 to move the adjusting plate 30, the axial position of the drive shaft 33 and the driven shaft 34 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two opposite conveyor bars 4 to accommodate the loading and conveying of plates of different sizes.

[0058] In operation, the docking device is installed on the equipment. The AGV transports materials from the previous process to the relevant equipment in the next process. According to pre-set parameters, materials of corresponding specifications are transferred to the corresponding conveyor layer, and so on, until the docking device is full of materials of multiple specifications. Then, based on the specifications required for the equipment's production, the corresponding layer's material is selected for loading. During loading, the clutch seat 6 of the corresponding layer moves towards the drive bar 5, causing the drive bar 5 to drive the drive shaft 3 of the corresponding layer, which in turn drives the conveyor bar 4 of that layer, transporting the material to the equipment's working area. After completing the operation, the AGV returns to the docking device. After processing all layers, the AGV docks with the docking device again to receive materials for transfer to the next process.

[0059] Example 5: A multi-layer sheet material logistics docking device, the structure of which is similar to any one of Examples 1 to 4. The main difference is that in this example, the conveyor bar 4 and the transmission bar 5 are a conveyor chain and a transmission chain, respectively. Other structures are the same as any one of Examples 1 to 4.
