Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a blocking and releasing mechanism and a hanging system applied to an intelligent hanging system. Background Art

[0002] The application of the intelligent hanging system has effectively improved the efficiency of clothing and home textile production. A large number of hangers are required in the intelligent hanging system to clamp fabric pieces or hang clothes and transport them to the corresponding workstations. The intelligent hanging system includes a ring track and a driving member arranged along the ring track. The driving member is provided with a driving structure. Several workstations are arranged at intervals along the ring track. The entrance of the workstation is provided with an entry mechanism, and the exit of the workstation is provided with an exit mechanism. The entry mechanism and the exit mechanism are movably connected to the ring track. The workstation also includes a lifting mechanism, and hanger blocking and releasing mechanisms are provided at the entrance and exit of the lifting mechanism.

[0003] Existing hanger blocking and releasing mechanisms, such as a "hanger releasing mechanism in a garment workstation" disclosed in 2007201133063, include a bracket fixedly connected to the side of the guide rail and a cylinder arranged on the bracket. The releasing mechanism also includes a claw, the middle of which is hinged on the bracket, one end of which is a connecting end and the other end is a working end. The connecting end is hinged to the piston rod of the cylinder, and the working end is located directly above the guide rail. When the piston rod is extended or retracted, the through end and the stop end of the working end perform a cyclic alternating action to complete the release of a hanger. The releasing mechanism has a simple structure and is suitable for roller hangers, but not for hook hangers that are thinner than rollers. The hook hanger has a higher accuracy for the releasing mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0005] The blocking and releasing mechanism provided by the present application comprises a connecting rail, a first baffle and a second baffle; the connecting rail has a cavity, and the first baffle and the second baffle are arranged in the cavity of the connecting rail; the first baffle has a first blocking part, and the second baffle has a second blocking part, and along the forward direction of the vehicle, the first blocking part is located upstream of the second blocking part; the first blocking part and the second blocking part are alternately raised and lowered, wherein the raised blocking part is in a blocking state and the lowered blocking part is in a releasing state, and during the process of the second blocking part descending and the first blocking part rising, an accommodating area that can only accommodate a hook of one vehicle is formed between the second blocking part and the first blocking part, and the hook of the vehicle to be released at the front is located in the accommodating area, until the first blocking part is inserted between the vehicle hook and the vehicle hook immediately behind it, and the second blocking part descends to the releasing position, and the vehicle is released.

[0006] Since the hook is relatively thin, the blocking and releasing mechanism for releasing the roller carrier is difficult to apply. The present application sets a first baffle and a second baffle. The blocking parts of the two baffles are alternately raised and lowered. The first blocking part descends and hides in the cavity, and the second blocking part rises. The second blocking part blocks all the carriers. The first blocking part rises and the second blocking part descends. In this process, a accommodating area is formed between the first blocking part and the second blocking part. This accommodating area can only accommodate the hook of one carrier, and the first blocking part is located exactly between the carrier and the hook of the carrier immediately behind it. The first blocking part is inserted into the gap between the two hooks, thereby separating the two hooks. The first blocking part blocks the carrier immediately behind it, and the second blocking part descends to the release position, no longer blocking the carrier, and the carrier is released. The accommodating area formed by the first blocking part and the second blocking part of the present application can only accommodate one hook. The first blocking part is inserted between the two hooks to ensure that only one carrier is released at a time.

The present application realizes the linkage of the first baffle and the second baffle through the cooperation of the hinged column and the guide hole, and only one driving mechanism is needed to realize the alternating lifting and lowering of the two baffles, ensuring that the second blocking portion can block the carrier after the first blocking portion descends, and a storage area can be formed during the process of the first blocking portion ascending and the second blocking portion descending, and when the first blocking portion blocks the carrier, the second blocking portion can release the carrier in the storage area, thereby realizing the precise control of the rotation of the two baffles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the blocking and releasing mechanism is arranged at the notch of the track 1 of the hanging system, and includes a connecting rail 2 with the same cross section as the track, and a cavity penetrating from top to bottom is arranged in the connecting rail 2, and a first baffle 3 and a second baffle 4 are rotatably arranged in the cavity. The blocking and releasing mechanism also includes a driving mechanism 5, and the driving mechanism 5 can be a cylinder, and the driving mechanism drives the first baffle 3 or the second baffle 4 to extend out of the upper surface of the connecting rail 2 to alternately block and release the hanger. Along the forward direction of the vehicle, the blocking end of the first block 3 is located further upstream than the blocking end of the second block 4. The first block 3 has a first blocking portion, and the second block 4 has a second blocking portion, and the first blocking portion and the second blocking portion are alternately raised and lowered. When the second blocking part rises and the first blocking part falls, it is in a blocking state. At this time, the second blocking part blocks the carrier hook, and the first blocking part is hidden in the cavity and does not block the hook; when the carrier needs to be released, the second blocking part falls and the first blocking part rises. During the process of the second blocking part falling and the first blocking part rising, an accommodating area that can only accommodate the hook of one carrier is formed between the second blocking part and the first blocking part. The hook of the carrier to be released at the front is located in the accommodating area until the first blocking part is inserted between the carrier hook and the carrier hook immediately behind it to separate the two carriers. The first blocking part blocks the carrier behind. When the second blocking part falls to the release position, the carrier is released.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the first baffle 3 includes a first blocking portion 3.1, a transverse first connecting rod 3.2, and a vertical second connecting rod 3.3 connected to the middle of the first connecting rod 3.2. The first blocking portion 3.1 has a sharp corner to facilitate the first blocking portion to be inserted between the hooks of the two vehicles. Figure 3The first blocking portion shown in the figure is triangular in shape and is located at the blocking end of the first connecting rod 3.2. A first hinge hole 3.4 is provided in the middle of the first connecting rod 3.2, a hinge column 3.5 is provided at the other end of the first connecting rod 3.2 away from the blocking end, and a second hinge hole 3.6 is provided at one end of the second connecting rod 3.3 away from the first connecting rod. The first baffle 3 is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of the connecting rail 2 through the first hinge hole 3.4, the lower part of the second connecting rod 3.3 extends out of the cavity of the connecting rail, and the driving rod of the cylinder is hinged to the second hinge hole 3.6, thereby driving the first baffle to rotate so that the first blocking portion 3.1 extends out of the connecting rail or hides in the connecting rail.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the second baffle 4 is an inverted U-shaped third connecting rod 4.2, with one side of the inverted U-shape serving as a blocking end and having a second blocking portion 4.1, and the other side being provided with a third hinge hole 4.3 and a guide hole 4.4, and a avoidance groove 4.5 is formed in the middle of the inverted U-shape for avoiding the hinge axis passing through the first hinge hole 3.4. The hinge column 3.5 is located in the guide hole 4.4, so that the first baffle and the second baffle can be linked, and only one driving mechanism is needed to realize the alternation and switching between the first baffle and the second baffle, and the driving mechanism drives the first baffle to rotate, and when the first blocking portion rotates downward, the hinge column drives the second baffle to rotate through the guide hole, and the second blocking portion rotates upward, and when the first blocking portion rotates upward, the second blocking portion rotates downward. From Figure 4 It can be seen that the guide hole 4.4 is low at the front end and high at the rear end, forming a "<" shape.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 6 As shown, the blocking and releasing mechanism also includes an "L"-shaped bracket 6, on which the connecting rail 2 and the driving mechanism 5 are mounted, and the ends of the track 1 at both ends of the connecting rail 2 are also mounted on the bracket 6, thereby achieving a stable connection with both ends of the connecting rail 2. A guide plate 7 is mounted on the bracket 6, and the guide plate 7 is located above the connecting rail. The gap between the guide plate 7 and the connecting rail 2 and the track 1 is only enough for one hanger hook to pass through, thereby preventing two or more hanger hooks from stacking together. The detection device 9 is mounted on the guide plate 7 through the mounting plate 8, and the detection device 9 is used to detect whether there is a hanger hook at the blocking and releasing mechanism. As shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the track 1 and the connecting rail are tilted at the release point, tilted downward in the figure, to release a vehicle, which slides downward due to gravity. When the first blocking part drops and the second blocking part rises, the upstream vehicle slides down to the second blocking part due to gravity.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the upper surface of the connecting rail 2 is provided with a groove 2.1 along the length direction, and slots 2.2 for installing the wear-resistant strip 10 are provided on both sides of the groove 2.1. A concave groove 2.1 is provided in the middle of the connecting rail along the length direction, and the hanger hook is arc-shaped. When the hanger is shaken or tilted (due to the tilt of the track), the height of the hanger hook on the connecting rail 2 will be reduced. In order to ensure that the hanger hook maintains the same height at the release point, a protrusion 2.3 is provided at the input end of the connecting rail to ensure the accuracy of the release. The protrusion 2.3 is set as an inclined plane near the input end, and the inclined plane is inclined upward from the input end to the output end. As shown Figure 7 , 8 As shown, two hanger hooks are shown in the figure. Due to the provision of the protrusion 2.3, the two hanger hooks are located at the same height.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the connecting rail and the track are described separately as two components, but in fact the connecting rail and the track together constitute the walking path of the hanger. The blocking and releasing mechanism can also be directly set on the track, that is, a cavity is set on the track at the position where it is required to be set, which serves as a space for installing and lifting the first block and the second block. This part of the track constitutes the connecting rail of the present application.

[0033] The working principle of the hanger blocking release mechanism is as follows:

[0034] As shown in Figure 7, this is the initial state, the second block 4 is exposed from the connecting rail and is in a blocking state, and the first block 3 is hidden in the connecting rail and is in a releasing state. The hanger hooks are blocked by the second block 4 and arranged in sequence. The detection device 9 detects that there is a hanger and sends it to the controller, which controls the cylinder to move.

[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, the cylinder gradually contracts, the second blocking portion 4.1 gradually moves downward, and the first blocking portion 3.1 gradually moves upward. The first blocking portion 3.1 and the second blocking portion 4.1 form a triangular accommodating area that can only accommodate one hanger hook. The sharp corner of the first blocking portion 3.1 is inserted between the two hanger hooks to separate the first hanger hook from the second hanger hook, and the first blocking portion blocks the second hanger hook and subsequent hanger hooks.

[0036] like Fig. 9 As shown, the cylinder is retracted into place, the second stopper 4 drops to the release position and hides in the connecting rail, the first hanger hook slides down along the connecting rail and the track gravity, and the first blocking portion 3.1 of the first stopper 3 extends to block the hanger hook behind, thereby realizing the single release of the hanger.

[0037] The cylinder extends, the first blocking part 3.1 moves downward, and the second blocking part 4.1 moves upward, returning to Figure 7 As shown, the first blocking portion 3.1 is hidden in the connecting rail, and the second blocking portion extends out of the connecting rail to block the hanger hook.
