Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a conveying frame structure of a material box, which is applicable to the technical field of parts transportation equipment. Background Art
[0002] The level of automation in automobile production is increasing day by day, and automobile production often adopts assembly line production to improve production efficiency. In the process of assembly line production, each process is carried out at each processing station, and a certain amount of workpieces need to be stored at each processing station. After the workpieces in the processing station are fully used, the new workpieces need to be transported to the processing station by the material cart. At present, the method of personnel transportation is often used, that is, personnel push the material cart and form workpiece replenishment. However, when replenishing workpieces, it will affect the assembly line production. At the same time, the back and forth transportation of personnel will also increase the workload of employees and affect work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] A recovery track, the inlet end of which is arranged in the installation station, and the outlet end of which is arranged in the logistics station. The recovery track can transport the material box from the installation station to the logistics station;
[0007] The transfer mechanism is arranged in the installation station, the outlet end of the conveying track is connected to the inlet end of the transfer mechanism, and the outlet end of the transfer mechanism is connected to the inlet end of the recovery track, and can transport the material box at the outlet end of the conveying track to the inlet end of the recovery track;
[0008] The conveying track comprises a first track, a first lifting mechanism and a second track, the entrance end of the first track is located in the logistics station, the lower end of the first lifting mechanism is located at the exit end of the first track, the exit end of the first lifting mechanism is connected to the entrance end of the second track, the exit end of the second track is connected to the entrance end of the transfer mechanism, the entrance end of the first track is higher than the exit end of the first track, and the entrance end of the second track is higher than the exit end of the second track. In this way, when the personnel in the logistics station places the material box storing the workpiece on the first track, the material box on the first track moves to the lower end position of the first lifting mechanism under the action of its own weight, and the material box rises to the upper end position of the first lifting mechanism under the action of the lifting of the first lifting mechanism and enters the second track, and the material box in the second track moves to the entrance end of the transfer mechanism under the action of its own weight, and the personnel in the installation station can take the workpiece in the material box on the transfer mechanism at this time; after the workpiece in the material box is completely used, the transfer mechanism transports the material box to the entrance end of the recycling track, and transports it back to the logistics station along the recycling track under the action of the self-weight of the material box, and so on.
[0009] The first lifting mechanism has a first frame arranged at the exit end of the first track, a first winder is installed in the first frame, a first winder is wound up with a first winder rope, and a first placement platform is installed at the end of the first winder rope. In this way, after the material box is moved to the first placement platform, it can be moved between the lower end position and the upper end position of the first lifting mechanism under the action of the first winder, so that after the material box moves to the first placement platform at the lower end position of the first lifting mechanism along the first track, the first placement platform, i.e., the material box, is raised to the upper end position of the first lifting mechanism under the action of the first winder, and the material box is moved into the second track.
[0010] The first placement platform is provided with a first telescopic cylinder capable of pushing the material box on the first placement platform to the second track.

In this way, the third track is arranged above the first track, and the fifth track is arranged above the recovery track, which greatly reduces the footprint of the conveyor structure while maintaining a good material box transportation function, facilitates the movement of personnel in the workshop, and makes the first track at a lower position, which is convenient for personnel in the logistics station to place the material box with workpieces on the first track.
[0014] The transfer mechanism is a second lifting mechanism, which has a second frame arranged at the exit end of the conveying track, a second winder is installed in the second frame, a second winding rope is wound on the second winder, a second placement platform is installed at the end of the second winding rope, the exit end of the conveying track is located at the upper end position of the second lifting mechanism, and the entrance end of the recovery track is located at the lower end position of the second lifting mechanism. In this way, when the second placement platform in the second lifting mechanism moves to the upper end position, it receives the material box transported from the conveying track, and under the action of the second winder, drives the second placement platform and the material box to move to the lower end position of the second lifting mechanism, which is convenient for personnel in the installation station to take the workpiece in the material box in the transfer mechanism in the installation station, and also convenient for the workpiece in the material box to be moved from the lower end position of the second lifting mechanism into the recovery track and transported back to the logistics station after use.
[0015] The second placement platform is provided with a second telescopic cylinder capable of pushing the material box on the second placement platform to the recovery track.

A fence is provided in the conveying frame structure to prevent the material box from falling off.
[0028] In this embodiment, the conveying track has a first track 1, a first lifting mechanism 5, a third track 2, a fourth track 3 and a fifth track 4. The first track 1 is arranged along the connecting line between the logistics station and the processing station. The third track 2, the fifth track 4 and the recovery track 7 are parallel to the first track 1 on the horizontal plane. The fourth track 3 is perpendicular to the first track 1 on the upper plane. The third track 2 is arranged above the first track 1, and the fifth track 4 is arranged above the recovery track 7. In this way, the first track 1 and the recovery track 7 are arranged at a lower position, which is convenient for personnel to put the material box with workpieces into the entrance end of the first track 1 and take out the material box from the exit end of the recovery track 7 after use.
[0029] The third track 2, the fourth track 3 and the fifth track 4 form the second track of the conveying track, which is used to transport the material box lifted by the first lifting mechanism 5 to the transfer mechanism. The second track can be arranged according to the actual situation on site.
[0030] In this embodiment, the entrance ends of the first track 1, the third track 2, the fourth track 3, the fifth track 4 and the recovery track 7 are all higher than the exit ends, so that the material box can move in the first track 1, the third track 2, the fourth track 3, the fifth track 4 and the recovery track 7 under the action of its own weight.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 5 is arranged at the exit end of the first track 1 in the processing station, the lower end position of the first lifting mechanism 5 corresponds to the exit end position of the first track 1, and the upper end position of the first lifting mechanism 5 corresponds to the entrance end position of the third track 2.
