Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a clothes hanger blocking and releasing mechanism applied to an intelligent hanging system and a 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

[0004] The present application provides a blocking and releasing mechanism, which uses a disc that rotates back and forth to transfer a carrier (such as a hanger, a hanging basket, etc.) from upstream to downstream, and uses meshing gears to drive the disc to rotate, which is very stable.

[0005] The blocking and releasing mechanism provided by the present application comprises a disc arranged at the moving path of the carrier hook, the disc is provided with a notch for accommodating a carrier hook, the side of the disc is provided with a gear, and also comprises a fan-shaped plate for driving the disc to rotate back and forth, the fan-shaped plate is provided with teeth, the teeth mesh with the gear, and the rotation of the fan-shaped plate is driven by a driving device. The driving device drives the fan-shaped plate to rotate, and the fan-shaped plate drives the disc to rotate back and forth, and the notch on the disc is used to transfer the carrier from the upstream to the downstream. When the disc is not working, the upstream carrier is blocked.

[0006] The blocking and releasing mechanism of the present application can be directly installed on the track of the hanging conveyor line, or the blocking and releasing mechanism can be made into a relatively independent product, that is, the blocking and releasing mechanism includes a connecting rail installed on a bracket, the connecting rail has a cavity, the disc is arranged in the cavity, and various components of the blocking and releasing mechanism, such as the connecting rail, the driving mechanism, and the fan-shaped plate can be installed on the bracket. When installing the blocking and releasing mechanism, a notch is set on the track of the hanging conveyor line, and the blocking and releasing mechanism is installed at the notch, and the connecting rail is connected to the tracks on both sides.

[0007] Preferably, a guide plate is provided above the connecting rail, and the gap between the guide plate, the connecting rail and the disc is only wide enough for a hook of a carrier to pass through.

[0008] Preferably, a concave arc adapted to the circular disc is provided on the guide plate facing the circular disc.

[0009] In order to detect whether there is a vehicle at the disc, a first detection device is arranged upstream of the disc along the forward direction of the vehicle. The first detection device includes a first long rod and a first slot-type photoelectric device. The first long rod is rotatably arranged, and the front end of the first long rod naturally falls. When the vehicle hook moves to the bottom of the front end, the front end of the first long rod can be pushed into the first slot-type photoelectric device. When the front end of the long rod enters the first slot-type photoelectric device, it means that there is a vehicle.

[0010] In order to detect whether the load is full, a second detection device is provided upstream of the first detection device. The second detection device includes a second long rod and a second slot-type photoelectric device. The second long rod is rotatably arranged. The front end of the second long rod naturally falls. When the load hook moves below the front end, the front end of the second long rod can be pushed into the second slot-type photoelectric device. When the second slot-type photoelectric device detects the front end of the second long rod, it indicates that the load is full. The controller of the hanging system can control the upstream to no longer allow the load to move toward the blocking and releasing mechanism.

[0011] In order to detect whether the vehicle hook on the track or the connecting rail is riding on the track or the connecting rail, a fork is provided at the rear end of the second long rod. Once riding, the hook enters the fork, thereby pushing the front end of the second long rod into the second slot-shaped photoelectric device. In this way, when the vehicles between the disc and the second long rod are transferred to the downstream, the first detection device cannot detect the vehicle, but the second detection device detects the vehicle, it can be judged that an abnormality has occurred, and the controller can issue an alarm.

[0012] The present application also provides a hanging system, including a hanging conveyor line, wherein the hanging conveyor line has a track, the blocking and releasing mechanism is arranged on the track, the track has a cavity, and the disc of the blocking and releasing mechanism is arranged in the cavity of the track.

[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is provided above the track, and the gap between the guide plate and the track and the disc is only wide enough for a hook of a carrier to pass through.

[0014] The present application also provides a hanging system, including a hanging conveyor line, wherein the hanging conveyor line has a track, the blocking and releasing mechanism is arranged at a gap in the track, and the connecting rail of the blocking and releasing mechanism is connected to the track at both ends of the gap.

[0015] The present application relies on the forward or reverse rotation of the disc with the notch to transfer the hanger in the notch from the upstream to the downstream. The notch can only accommodate one hanger hook, thereby realizing the single release of the hanger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the hanging system includes a hanging conveyor line, which is a conventional structure in the art and will not be described in detail. The hanging conveyor line has a track 1, which is provided with a gap, and a blocking and releasing mechanism is provided at the gap.

[0025] The blocking and releasing mechanism includes a connecting rail 2 with the same cross section as the track 1. The connecting rail 2 is provided with a cavity running through the upper and lower parts. A rotatable disc 3 is provided in the cavity. The outer periphery of the disc 3 is provided with a notch 3.1 for accommodating a hanger hook. The disc 3 is driven by a driving mechanism to rotate the hanger in the notch 3.1 half a circle and transfer it from the upstream to the downstream. A guide plate 4 is provided above the connecting rail 2. The gap between the guide plate 4 and the connecting rail 2 and the disc 3 is only enough for one hanger hook to pass through, thereby preventing two or more hanger hooks from being stacked together. Figure 3 As shown, a concave arc matching the shape of the disk is provided at the position of the guide plate 4 facing the disk 3 .

[0026] The driving mechanism includes a driving device and a sector plate 6. In this embodiment, the driving device is a cylinder 5. The driving end of the cylinder 5 is hinged to the sector plate 6. The middle part of the sector plate 6 is rotatably installed, the handle of the sector plate 6 is hinged to the cylinder, and the outer circumference of the sector plate 6 is provided with teeth. A gear 3.2 is provided on one side of the disc 3, and the teeth on the circumference of the sector plate 6 mesh with the teeth of the gear 3.2. The cylinder 5 drives the sector plate 6 to rotate back and forth, and the sector plate 6 drives the disc 3 to rotate. Figure 2 The gear 3.2 shown in the figure is half, because half is enough for rotating back and forth.

[0027] The connecting rail 2, the cylinder 5 and the guide plate 4 are installed on an "L"-shaped bracket 7. The ends of the track 1 at both ends of the connecting rail 2 are installed on the bracket 7 to maintain the strength of the ends of the track 1 and realize the connection between the two ends of the track 1 and the connecting rail 2.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the blocking and releasing mechanism also includes a first detection device 8 and a second detection device 9 installed on one side of the guide plate 4. The first detection device 8 includes a rotatable first long rod 8.1 and a first slot-shaped photoelectric device 8.2. The front end of the first long rod 8.1 falls naturally (the end close to the disc is the front end). When the hanger hook is blocked by the disc 3, the hanger hook lifts the first long rod for a long time, and the first long rod extends into the first slot-shaped photoelectric device. The first slot-shaped photoelectric device detects a signal, indicating that a hanger is staying upstream of the disc. The second detection device 9 includes a rotatable second long rod 9.1 and a second slot-shaped photoelectric device 9.2. The front end of the second long rod 9.1 falls naturally. When the hanger hook is blocked by the disc 3 and arranged at the second detection device, the hanger hook lifts the second long rod for a long time, and the second long rod extends into the second slot-shaped photoelectric device. The second slot-shaped photoelectric device detects a signal, indicating that the hangers staying on the connecting rail are full and stop receiving hangers. The tail end of the second long rod is provided with a mouth-shaped fork. When the hanger is as Figure 7 As shown, the clothes hanger rides on track 1, moves to the second long rod, the hanger hook enters the fork, and the front end of the second long rod is lifted and detected by the second slot-shaped photoelectric device; if the first detection device has no signal, the second detection device has a signal, indicating that the clothes hanger is running abnormally.

[0029] The blocking and releasing mechanism mentioned above is a relatively independent structure, which is installed at the gap of the hanging conveyor line track. Obviously, it is also possible to not set a connecting rail, but to set a cavity at the corresponding track position and install the disc in the cavity of the track. In this way, the track 1 no longer needs to be set with a gap to accommodate the connecting rail.

[0030] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the connecting rails and tracks are arranged at an angle, and the vehicle can slide down by gravity after being released, leaving the blocking release mechanism. If it is not arranged at an angle, a power mechanism can be arranged as needed to take the vehicle away.

[0031] The working principle of the hanger blocking release mechanism is as follows:

[0032] As shown in 3, the hanger moves to the upstream of the disc, is blocked by the disc and one hanger hook enters the notch of the disc, and the other hanger hooks are arranged in sequence behind. The first detection device detects a signal and sends it to the controller, which controls the cylinder to move.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the cylinder extends, driving the fan-shaped plate and the disc to rotate, and the disc rotates the hanger hook to the downstream. The hanger hook slides from the gap by its own gravity and slides downward along the track.

[0034] The cylinder retracts and the disc reverses to Figure 3 The state when.
