[0034] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A parts intelligent conveying device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main conveying line 2, which includes two conveying lines. A number of lifting conveying mechanisms 3 are arranged below the two conveying lines along the conveying direction.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31, a horizontal conveying member 32 and a first driving member. The first driving member is a cylinder. The support frame 31 is slidably connected with the horizontal conveying member 32 in the vertical direction. The support frame 31 is provided with a first driving member that drives the horizontal conveying member 32 to move up and down. When the first driving member retracts, the first driving member drives the horizontal conveying member 32 to move downward to the bottom of the main conveying line 2; when the first driving member is extended, the horizontal conveying member 32 moves upward from between the two conveying lines. Through this arrangement, the first driving member can lift the material pallet 5 placed on the main conveying line 2 upward through the horizontal conveying member 32, so that the material pallet 5 is separated from the main conveying line 2, which is convenient for the subsequent transportation of the material pallet 5.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of feeding conveyor lines 4 are arranged on the side of the main conveyor line 2. The conveying direction of the feeding conveyor line 4 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2. The position of the feeding conveyor line 4 corresponds to the lifting conveying mechanism 3. The feeding conveyor line 4 includes a feeding rack. Two parallel conveyor belts 41 are arranged on the feeding rack. A motor 42 is arranged on the feeding rack. The motor 42 drives the conveyor belt 41 to rotate. The height of the conveyor belt 41 is higher than the height of the main conveyor line 2.

[0039] The main conveyor line 2 conveys the material tray 5 to a preset position; the lifting conveying mechanism 3 first lifts the material tray 5 to the same height as the feeding conveyor line 4, and then uses the horizontal conveying member 32 to convey the material tray 5 to the corresponding feeding conveyor line 4; the feeding conveyor line 4 is used to convey the material tray 5 to the processing station.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal conveying member 32 includes two parallel linear modules, the conveying direction of the linear modules is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveying line 2, and is located on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the corresponding feeding conveying line. The material tray 5 is placed on the two conveying lines, and the conveying lines transfer the material tray 5 forward; after the material tray 5 arrives at the corresponding location, the automatic control system controls the lifting conveying mechanism 3 to start, and the first driving member drives the horizontal conveying member 32 to move upward so that the horizontal conveying member 32 is connected to the bottom of the material tray 5, and then the first driving member drives the material tray 5 to separate from the main conveying line 2, and the bottom of the material tray 5 is located on the same horizontal plane as the feeding conveying line 4; then the linear module is opened, and the bottom of the material tray 5 is connected to the slider of the linear module, and the linear module transfers the material tray 5 to the feeding conveying line 4 through the slider.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a stacking and destacking mechanism 6 is provided at one end of the feeding conveyor line 4 close to the main conveyor line 2. The stacking and destacking mechanism 6 includes a frame 1, a second driving member 61, a lifting plate 62 and a plurality of telescopic limit members 63. The second driving member is a cylinder. The frame 1 is erected above the feeding conveyor line 4. The output end of the second driving member 61 is fixedly connected with a lifting plate 62. The lifting plate 62 is located below the feeding conveyor line and corresponds to the frame 1. Telescopic limit members 63 are respectively provided at the four corners of the frame 1. When the second driving member 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to move upward to the highest point, the lifting plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the material tray 5 and drives the material tray 5 to be located above the telescopic limit member 63; when the second driving member drives the lifting plate 62 to move downward to the lowest point, the lifting plate 62 is located below the conveyor belt 41, and a groove 52 is provided on the side of the material tray 5 corresponding to the telescopic limit member.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the stacking and destacking mechanism also includes a positioning assembly, which is arranged at one end of the lifting plate away from the main conveying line to position the material pallet above the lifting plate. The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod 7 and a third driving member 8 that drives the positioning rod 7 to move up and down, and the third driving member is a cylinder.

[0045] The automatic control system monitors the processing status of the equipment, and automatically transports the material pallet 5 on the main conveyor line 2 to the stacking and destacking mechanism 6 of the corresponding workstation, and the material pallet 5 is stacked by the stacking and destacking mechanism 6. The stacking process is as follows: first, the main conveyor line 2 transports the material pallet 5 to the stacking and destacking machine of the corresponding workstation, and the lifting conveying mechanism 3 transfers the material pallet 5 from the main conveyor line 2 to the feeding conveyor line 4. At the same time, the third driving member 8 drives the positioning rod 7 to rise, and the telescopic limiter 63 retracts. When the material pallet 5 is connected with the positioning rod 7, it is just above the lifting plate 62; the material pallet 5 is separated from the feeding conveyor line 4 under the action of the second driving member 61, and continues to move upward to the top of the telescopic limiter 63; then, the telescopic limiter 63 extends, and the second driving member 61 drives the material pallet 5 to move downward. At this time, the telescopic limiter 63 is connected with the bottom of the material pallet 5, and the material pallet 5 is placed on the telescopic limiter 63. The second driving member 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to return to the bottom of the conveyor belt 41. Through this operation, multiple material trays 5 can be stacked on the telescopic limiting member 63.

[0046] The processing status of each device is detected in real time, and several stacked material trays 5 stored in the stacking and destacking machine are automatically destackered, and transported to the processing station by the feeding conveyor line 4 for production and processing. The destacking process is as follows: the second driving member 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to move upward, so that the lifting plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the lowest material tray 5; then the telescopic limiter 63 is retracted, and the second driving member 61 drives the material tray 5 to move downward to the height of a material tray 5. At this time, the telescopic limiter 63 is extended, and the side of the material tray 5 is provided with a groove 52 for the telescopic limiter to extend into. The telescopic limiter 63 is embedded in the groove to limit the upper material tray 5 to prevent the material tray 5 from continuing to fall. The second driving member continues to move downward, so that the material tray 5 at the bottom is connected to the conveyor belt, and the material tray 5 at the bottom can be transported forward with the conveyor belt 41.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the telescopic limit member 63 includes a fixed seat 631, a limit block 632 hinged on the fixed seat 631, and a limit driving member 633 driving the limit block 632 to flip. The limit block 632 is surrounded by a panel 632a, a right-angled triangular side plate 632b and an inclined plate 632c. The side plate 632b is hinged to the fixed seat 631, and the output end of the limit driving member 633 is hinged to the inclined plate 632c. A groove 52 for the limit block 632 to be embedded is provided on the side of the material tray 5. A guide rod 634 is provided on the fixed seat 631, a vertical plate 636 is provided on the panel 632a, and a strip hole 635 is provided on the vertical plate 636 for the guide rod 634 to pass through. When the output end of the limit driving member 633 is extended, the guide rod 634 conflicts with the upper end of the strip hole 635, and at this time, the panel 632a is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, when the output end of the limit driving member 633 extends, it pushes the inclined plate 632c to rotate forward, and the panel 632a is parallel to the horizontal plane under the drive of the inclined plate 632c, so that the limit block 632 is extended, and the panel 632a is connected to the bottom of the material tray 5; when the output end of the limit driving member 633 retracts, it drives the inclined plate 632c to rotate backward, and the panel 632a is vertically downward under the drive of the inclined plate 632c, so that the limit block 632 is retracted.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the panel 632a and the conveyor belt 41 is equal to the height of the material tray 5. When a plurality of stacked material trays 5 are located on the conveyor belt 41, the output end of the limit drive 633 extends out, so that the limit block 632 is embedded in the groove 52. At this time, the panel 632a is connected to the bottom surface of the second to last tray, so that the downward displacement of the upper tray can be completely limited.
