Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transfer device technology, specifically a logistics ground chain undercarriage transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the modern logistics industry, automated conveyor systems play a crucial role in warehousing, sorting, loading and unloading. Among them, ground chain conveyor systems, as a continuous and efficient material transport method, are widely used in various logistics hubs, production workshops, and distribution centers. Ground chain systems typically consist of chain tracks installed on the ground or at a shallow depth, drive units, load-bearing pallets, and control systems, enabling the smooth transport of materials along a fixed path.

[0003] Traditional ground chain systems still have certain limitations, especially when materials need to be quickly and accurately transferred from the ground chain line to other conveying equipment or workbenches. They often rely on manual intervention or auxiliary mechanical devices, which may lead to material damage or safety accidents due to improper operation. In addition, because the weight, size and shape of materials vary during ground chain conveying, manual handling is required when classifying and placing them, resulting in low processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Preferably, a drive assembly is provided at the center of the two first fixed sliders, and storage boxes are provided on both the left and right sides of the drive assembly. A rigid chain is placed inside each storage box, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rigid chain. The second fixed slider is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the right side of the support plate is movably pinned to the right side of each set of movable plates.

[0009] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate, a sprocket is connected to the output end of the second motor, a chain is sleeved on the outside of the sprocket, a directional slider is connected to one end of the chain, and a movable frame is fixedly connected to the top of the directional slider.

[0010] Preferably, the top of both the front and rear sides of the movable frame is fixedly connected with a sliding block, and a support slide rod is slidably connected inside each sliding block, and the support slide rod is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the placement mechanism includes a pallet forklift, and a set of guide wheels are movably pinned to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the pallet forklift, which is used to place goods.

[0012] Preferably, a lifting mechanism is provided on the right side of the detection mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes several lifting frames. A first motor is fixedly connected to the inner top of each lifting frame. A first sprocket is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor through a shaft. A transmission chain is sleeved on the outside of the first sprocket. A second sprocket is provided at the bottom of the transmission chain. The first sprocket is driven by the transmission chain and the second sprocket.

[0013] Preferably, a set of guide rails is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two lifting frames, and a lifting plate is provided on the opposite side of each of the two sets of guide rails. A guide groove adapted to the guide rail is opened on the opposite side of the two lifting plates. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of each guide groove, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting block is opened on the opposite side of each set of two guide rails.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the front of the two lifting plates on opposite sides, and the fixing block is fixedly connected to the transmission chain. A third motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two lifting plates on opposite sides, and the output end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the cantilever via a shaft.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a logistics ground chain undercarriage transfer device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention controls the rigid chain to extend via a drive component. During the extension process, the rigid chain is locked using a specific track and guide wheels, which lifts the support plate. A second motor controls a directional slider to move the movable frame to the right, receiving the goods on the lifting mechanism. The second motor then controls the movable frame to move to the left, transferring the goods to the corresponding position on the second conveyor line. This solves the problem that traditional transfer devices rely on manual intervention or auxiliary mechanical devices, which may lead to material damage or safety accidents due to improper operation.

[0016] 2. In this invention, goods are conveyed via a ground chain through a first inspection rack. Inspection probes detect the goods, and RFID readers read the pallet codes. Both types of data are simultaneously transmitted to our WMS system for judgment. The system judges the goods based on the data; if the length exceeds the limit, an alarm signal is issued, requiring manual intervention to remove the goods from the conveyor and prevent them from entering the transfer stage. When the length of the goods exceeds 3 meters, they are transferred to the NG port of the chain conveyor. When the length of the goods is between 3 meters and 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding elevator for transportation. When the length of the goods is less than 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding hoist for transportation. This solves the problem of low processing efficiency when manually operating auxiliary handling devices for sorting and placement.

[0017] 3. In this invention, goods are transported via a first conveyor line and inspected by a detection mechanism. After being identified, the goods arrive at the corresponding position. The cantilever is rotated and spun out by a cylinder, and the first sprocket is rotated by a first motor. This causes the transmission chain to drive the second sprocket to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the transmission chain to move the lifting plate upward, thus realizing the upward movement of the goods for easy transfer and solving the problem of lifting the goods.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a logistics ground chain undercarriage transfer device, including a first conveyor line 1, a placement mechanism 2 located at the top of the first conveyor line 1, a detection mechanism 3 located behind the placement mechanism 2, a transfer mechanism 5 located to the left of the detection mechanism 3, and a second conveyor line 6 located to the left of the transfer mechanism 5. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided on the right side of the detection mechanism 3.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the inspection mechanism 3 includes a first inspection frame 301. Several inspection probes 302 are arranged on the inner right side of the first inspection frame 301. Fixed plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the first inspection frame 301. Several inspection probes 302 are arranged on the top of each fixed plate. The inspection probes 302 are used to detect the width and height of the incoming material through the photoelectric grating. The pallet code is read by the RFID reader and the two data are synchronously transmitted to our WMS system for judgment, so as to facilitate the classification and placement of goods. A second inspection frame 303 is arranged behind the first inspection frame 301 on the left side of the first conveyor line 1. Another set of fixed plates is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the middle of the second inspection frame 303. Several inspection probes 302 are arranged on the top of the other set of fixed plates.

[0024] The above scheme works as follows: Goods are conveyed via a ground chain through the first inspection rack 301, where they are inspected using an inspection probe 302 and their pallet codes are read by an RFID reader. Both types of data are simultaneously transmitted to our WMS system for judgment. The system judges the data and issues an alarm signal if the length exceeds the limit, requiring manual intervention to remove the goods from the line and prevent them from entering the transfer stage. When the length of the goods exceeds 3 meters, they are transferred to the NG port of the chain line; when the length of the goods is between 3 meters and 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding elevator for transportation; when the length of the goods is less than 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding hoist for transportation.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a transfer frame 501. First fixed sliders 502 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the transfer frame 501. First movable sleeves 503 are slidably connected to the tops of the two first fixed sliders 502. A set of cross-arranged movable plates 504 are movably connected to the top of the first movable sleeves 503. The bottom right side of each set of movable plates 504 is movably pinned to the transfer frame 501, and the bottom left side of each set of movable plates 504 is movably pinned to the first movable sleeve 503. A second movable sleeve 506 is movably pinned to the top left side of each set of movable plates 504. A second fixed slider 505 is slidably connected inside the second movable sleeve 506. A drive assembly 508 is located at the center of the two first fixed sliders 502. Storage boxes 507 are located on both the left and right sides of the drive assembly 508. The storage box 507 contains a rigid chain 509. A support plate 5010 is fixedly connected to the top of the rigid chain 509. A second fixed slider 505 is fixedly connected to the support plate 5010. The right side of the support plate 5010 is movably pinned to the right side of each set of movable plates 504. A second motor 5011 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate 5010. A sprocket is connected to the output end of the second motor 5011. A chain 5012 is sleeved on the outside of the sprocket. A directional slider 5013 is connected to one end of the chain 5012. A movable frame 5014 is fixedly connected to the top of the directional slider 5013. Sliding blocks 5016 are fixedly connected to the top of both the front and rear sides of the movable frame 5014. A support slider 5015 is slidably connected inside each sliding block 5016. The support slider 5015 is fixedly connected to the support plate 5010.

[0026] Through the above scheme: when distributing and transferring goods, the drive assembly 508 is activated to push out the rigid chain 509 in the storage box 507. During the pushing process, the rigid chain 509 is locked under the action of a specific track and guide wheel, lifting the support plate 5010. The second motor 5011 is activated to drive the sprocket to rotate. The sprocket pulls the directional slider 5013 to move the movable frame 5014, receiving the goods on the lifting mechanism 4. At this time, the second motor 5011 drives the movable frame 5014 to move to the left, transferring the goods to the second conveyor line 6 and transporting them to the corresponding position.

[0027] like Figures 1-3As shown, the placement mechanism 2 includes a pallet forklift 201. A set of guide wheels 202 are movably pinned to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the pallet forklift 201. The pallet forklift 201 is used to place goods. The lifting mechanism 4 includes several lifting frames 401. A first motor 402 is fixedly connected to the inner top of each lifting frame 401. The output end of the first motor 402 is fixedly connected to a first sprocket 403 via a shaft. A transmission chain 404 is sleeved on the outside of the first sprocket 403. A second sprocket 405 is provided at the bottom of the transmission chain 404. The first sprocket 403 is chain-driven with the second sprocket 405 via the transmission chain 404. A set of guide rails 406 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two lifting frames 401. Each set of guide rails 406 has a lifting plate 407 on one side facing each other. The two lifting plates 407 have guide grooves 408 adapted to the guide rails 406 on the opposite side. Limiting blocks 4010 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of each guide groove 408. Each set of two guide rails 406 has a limiting groove 409 adapted to the limiting block 4010 on one side facing each other. A fixing block 4011 is fixedly connected to the front of the opposite side of the two lifting plates 407. The fixing block 4011 is fixedly connected to the transmission chain 404. A third motor 4012 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the opposite side of the two lifting plates 407. The output end of the cylinder 4012 is fixedly connected to the cantilever 4013 through a shaft.

[0028] The above scheme works as follows: the goods are conveyed through the first conveyor line 1 and inspected by the detection mechanism 3. After being identified, the goods arrive at the corresponding position. The cylinder 4012 is activated, which drives the cantilever 4013 to rotate out. The first motor 402 is activated, which drives the first sprocket 403 to rotate. Since the first sprocket 403 is chain-driven with the second sprocket 405 through the transmission chain 404, the friction force pushes the transmission chain 404 to drive the second sprocket 405 to rotate synchronously. This causes the transmission chain 404 to drive the lifting plate 407 to move upward, so that the goods are moved upward for easy transfer.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an online detection device for cable insulation layer damage is used, and its specific operating steps are as follows: Step 1, Goods Inspection and Judgment: Goods are conveyed via ground chain through the first inspection rack 301. Inspection probe 302 detects the goods, and an RFID reader reads the pallet code. Both data are simultaneously transmitted to our WMS system for judgment. The system judges the goods based on the data. If the length exceeds the limit, an alarm signal is issued, requiring manual intervention to remove the goods from the conveyor and prevent them from entering the transfer stage. When the length of the goods exceeds 3 meters, they are transferred to the NG port of the chain conveyor. When the length of the goods is between 3 meters and 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding elevator for transportation. When the length of the goods is less than 2.8 meters, the system assigns them to the corresponding hoist for transportation.

[0030] Step 2, Lifting the Goods: The goods are conveyed through the first conveyor line 1 and inspected by the detection mechanism 3. After being identified, the goods arrive at the corresponding position. The cylinder 4012 drives the cantilever 4013 to rotate and spin out. The first motor 402 controls the first sprocket 403 to rotate, which causes the transmission chain 404 to drive the second sprocket 405 to rotate synchronously. This causes the transmission chain 404 to drive the lifting plate 407 to move upward, so that the goods are moved upward for easy transfer.

[0031] Step 3, Goods Transfer: The rigid chain 509 in the storage box 507 is pushed out by the drive component 508. During the push-out process, the rigid chain 509 is locked by the action of a specific track and guide wheel, lifting the support plate 5010. The second motor 5011 drives the support screw 5012 to rotate, pushing the directional slider 5013 to move the movable frame 5014 to the right, receiving the goods on the lifting mechanism 4. The second motor 5011 drives the movable frame 5014 to the left, transferring the goods to the second conveyor line 6 and transporting them to the corresponding position.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
