[0038] Next, the transfer device 100 and the material processing line 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be understood.
[0039] During material transportation, to improve transportation efficiency, a large number of materials are transported simultaneously on the transportation line. For better management, users can connect each material to an information system (such as a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)) or synchronize the logistics information of each material by attaching tags to each material. However, due to the large number of materials transported on material line 200, the transportation line cannot promptly transport the corresponding amount of materials, resulting in a material backlog. This backlog can lead to a large number of materials that cannot be transported in time, which can easily lead to errors in the correspondence between materials and their information in the information system, or materials that are not connected to the information system and have no corresponding information.
[0040] The aforementioned and other similar situations can lead to errors in material transportation and management. Therefore, the transfer device 100 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 110, a transfer platform 120, and a matching module (not shown). The material line 200 is used as an example of a transportation line, and the material can also be replaced with any other item suitable for transportation on the transportation line, such as a package.
[0041] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 It is understood that the base 110 can be set as a structure suitable for providing a fixed foundation such as a rectangular tube, and the transfer platform 120 can be movably set on the base 110, wherein the transfer platform 120 can be connected to the base 110 by rotating, sliding, etc., so that the transfer platform 120 can be moved as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, it is possible to switch between a first position 140 and a second position 150 .
[0042] When the transfer platform 120 is in the first position 140, it can dock with the upstream side of the material line 200 to receive materials from the upstream side. When the transfer platform 120 is in the second position 150, it can dock with the downstream side of the material line 200 to lower materials from the upstream side. Specifically, the process of receiving and lowering materials can be done by an operator transferring materials from the upstream side to the transfer platform 120, or after the transfer platform 120 docks with the upstream side of the material line 200, the material line 200 automatically transfers the materials to the transfer platform 120, or the materials slide under their own gravity to transfer the materials to the transfer platform 120.
[0043] The transfer platform 120 is electrically connected to the matching module. When the transfer platform 120 switches to the second position 150, the matching module is triggered. There are various electrical connections between the transfer platform 120 and the matching module.
[0044] For example, reference Figure 1 As shown, a PLC motor 130 and a position sensor 115 can be provided on the base 110. The position sensor 115 can detect the movement of the transfer platform 120 relative to the base 110, and the position sensor 115 is electrically connected to the matching module. When the transfer platform 120 moves to the second position 150, the position sensor 115 energizes the matching module or sends a specific electrical signal to trigger the matching module.
[0045] For another example, the matching module can be provided with a triggering portion (not shown in the figure), and the transfer platform 120 has a pushing portion (not shown in the figure). After switching to the second position 150, the pushing portion moves with the transfer platform 120 and eventually pushes to the triggering portion. After the triggering portion contacts or pushes the pushing portion, an electrical connection is formed to trigger the matching module.
[0046] It can be seen that the transfer platform 120 carries one or a batch of materials from the upstream to the downstream each time. The transfer platform 120 serves as a carrying point on the material line 200, and transports the materials one by one or in batches and in accordance with the transportation sequence, so as to ensure that the order, quantity and transportation path of each material in the transportation process are correct.
[0047] Moreover, based on any triggering mode of the matching module, each time the transfer platform 120 switches from the first position 140 to the second position 150, that is, the matching module is triggered once and the material identification is output once, then the transfer platform 120, as a carrier node, can output the material identification once each time it carries one or a batch of materials. The output material identification can correspond one-to-one with the corresponding batch or one logistics, thereby ensuring that the logistics information matches the corresponding logistics.
[0048] Specifically, after the transfer platform 120 switches to the second position 150, the matching module is triggered to ensure that the currently output material identification matches the material or batch of materials it is transporting. In other words, after the transfer platform 120 completes a switch from the first position 140 to the second position 150, the matching module is triggered. The matching module then sends the material identification once to achieve information matching. After the transmission is completed, the transfer platform 120 returns to the first position 140 to resume transporting the next material or batch of materials. Because information matching for a material or batch of materials is performed only after the transportation of the material or batch of materials is completed, it is unlikely that a material will be matched with the wrong material identification or no material identification will be matched.
[0049] For example, during the packaging and transportation of electronic-grade silicon materials, material information must be captured at each process step, allowing for multiple material identifiers to be recorded for the same package. Finally, these identifiers are integrated into a single QR code for labeling in the final process step. Therefore, the transfer station 120 can trigger a matching module to output the material identifiers for each material in transit at each process step, preventing mismatches between the output material identifiers and the material itself and ensuring accurate matching of logistics information.
[0050] Of course, the information system can also pre-store the material identification of each material, so that after the material is transported to the transfer station 120, the material identification sent by the matching module can be matched with the pre-stored material identification to determine whether the currently transported material complies with the transportation sequence or transportation process, etc. Therefore, in different examples, the matching module can also be triggered by the transfer station 120 to verify the logistics information one by one to prevent errors.
[0051] Compared with the existing technology, materials are transported one by one or in batches through manual operation, and material identifications are output or matched. On the one hand, it is possible that the wrong quantity is transported, or the materials are transported in the wrong order, or materials are omitted; on the other hand, it is also possible that the operation of outputting the material identification of the materials is omitted, or the wrong material identification is output.
[0052] According to the transfer device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the transfer platform 120 switches between the first position 140 and the second position 150 and transports materials one by one or in batches, and after the transfer platform 120 switches to the second position 150, the matching module is triggered to output the material identification. The actuation of the transfer platform 120 corresponds one to one with the information sent by the matching module, thereby ensuring that each material or a batch of materials can be accurately matched with the material identification sent by the matching module, thereby preventing the occurrence of material transportation errors caused by mismatch of logistics information during material transportation, and effectively avoiding confusion in the transportation process.
[0053] It should be noted that the aforementioned material and information system docking process or matching process is implemented based on an existing system. The present invention does not involve improvements to the system or program, but only applies the existing system or program to the transfer device 100.
[0054] In some embodiments, the transfer device 100 further includes a coding module (not shown in the figure), which is arranged downstream of the transfer platform 120. The coding module is signal-connected to the matching module and is suitable for coding the material based on the material identification, so as to attach the material identification corresponding to the material to the material by coding or labeling.
[0055] Specifically, the matching module and the coding module can be connected by signal through the information system. After the transfer platform 120 receives the material, it transports the material to the downstream. At the same time, the matching module sends the material identification corresponding to the material to the information system. When the material is transported to the downstream, the information system attaches the corresponding material identification to the material by coding.
[0056] In some examples, a coding module can be set in the area corresponding to the coding and labeling process of the material line 200. For example, in the packaging process of electronic-grade silicon materials, each process needs to match the logistics information with the information system before the material is transported to the next process. The output corresponding to the multiple processes has multiple material identifications, and the multiple material identifications are transmitted to the coding module by signal transmission, or synchronized in the information system to transmit the corresponding multiple material identifications to the coding module through the information system. When the material is transported to the coding and labeling process, the coding module integrates the multiple material identifications into a code and prints the code on the material. The code here can be a QR code, a barcode, etc.
[0057] It should be noted that how to connect the signals between the coding module and the matching module, and how to transmit the signals, are based on the communication means in the existing technology. The present invention only applies them, rather than improving the communication means or other aspects involving other procedures.
[0058] It is understandable that the matching module transmits the output material identification to the coding module by signal transmission, so that the coding module can code the material based on the material identification, so that the user can trace the material corresponding to the code by identifying the code.
[0059] In a further embodiment, in order to improve efficiency, a plurality of transfer platforms 120 can be provided, and the plurality of transfer platforms 120 can be movably connected to the base 110, with each transfer platform 120 carrying one or a batch of materials. Each transfer platform 120 selectively moves to the second position 150, while the remaining transfer platforms 120 are locked in the first position 140, so that the transfer device 100 only carries one or a batch of materials from upstream to downstream at a time, thereby avoiding confusion in material transportation. The selective movement of the transfer platforms 120 can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as providing a locking mechanism between the transfer platforms 120 or providing a locking mechanism between each transfer platform 120 and the base 110, or by electronically controlling the movement of the transfer platforms 120 one by one.
[0060] Moreover, multiple transfer devices 100 can all move to switch to the second position 150, so the transfer device 100 can be used on a material line 200 with only one transport line, and each transfer platform 120 can be switched one by one to the downstream of the only transport line to realize material transportation.
[0061] In some cases, reference Figure 4 As shown, after the loading worker takes the material from the upstream of the material line 200, the material is transferred to the transfer platform 120. After the unloading worker takes the material from the transfer platform 120, the material is transferred to the downstream. Setting up multiple transfer platforms 120 can enable multiple loading workers or multiple unloading workers to operate a transfer device 100 at the same time, thereby improving transportation efficiency.
[0062] Of course, the transfer device 100 can also be used on a material line 200 with multiple transport lines, for example, there is one upstream transport line and multiple downstream transport lines. Each transfer platform 120 can correspond to a different downstream transport line and transport the material to the corresponding downstream transport line.
[0063] It can be understood that if multiple transfer platforms 120 are set up and the multiple transfer platforms 120 move selectively, there is no need to wait for any transfer platform 120 to reset after the operation is completed, and another transfer platform 120 that was originally locked in the first position 140 can move to continue transporting materials. While ensuring the accuracy of material transportation information, the efficiency of material transportation can be effectively improved by the movement of multiple transfer platforms 120 one by one.
[0064] Next, you can combine Figure 1-Figure 4 The illustrated example is provided for a better understanding of the transfer device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0065] In this example, the base 110 includes a bottom plate 111, one side of which is fixed to the ground, and the other side extends out a first rectangular tube 112 and a second rectangular tube 113 arranged in parallel. The ends of the first rectangular tube 112 and the second rectangular tube 113 away from the bottom plate 111 are both connected to an assembly plate 114, and the assembly plate 114 is rotatably connected to a first transfer platform 121 and a second transfer platform 122. Figure 3 In the case shown, the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are both in the first position 140. The first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are arranged side by side when they are in the first position 140, and the rotation directions of the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are opposite, so as to be suitable for switching from the first position 140 to the second position 150 respectively.
[0066] Next, the movement process of the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 will be described in detail.
[0067] The first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are both rotatably connected to the base 110, and are each provided with a corresponding driving module. Here, the driving module driving the first transfer platform 121 is defined as the first driving module, and the driving module driving the second transfer platform 122 is defined as the second driving module.
[0068] In this example, Figure 4 There is only one material line 200, so the materials can be transported sequentially in the transport line. When the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are arranged side by side and facing upstream of the transport line, the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 are both in the first position 140. When one of the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 is switched to face or approach the downstream of the transport line, it is located in the second position 150.
[0069] Then, after receiving the material, the first transfer platform 121 or the second transfer platform 122 will be switched to the second position 150 , and the first transfer platform 121 will be taken as an example to explain the movement first.
[0070] The first transfer platform 121 can be equipped with a sensing device (not shown) such as a gravity sensor or infrared detector that can detect the presence of material. A worker loading materials upstream places the material onto the first transfer platform. After the material is received by the first transfer platform 121, the sensing device senses the material and sends a start command to the first drive module. The first drive module drives the first transfer platform 121 from the first position 140 to the second position 150. At this time, the second transfer platform 122 remains stationary.
[0071] by Figure 4The direction shown in FIG. 1 shows that the first transfer platform 121 rotates in a clockwise direction and finally rotates to the direction toward the Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the unloading worker is located downstream and on the left side of the transportation direction of the material line 200. The unloading worker picks up the material that has been transported by the matching module and places it downstream for further transportation. That is, when the first transfer platform 121 moves to face the unloading worker, the first transfer platform 121 switches to the second position 150 and is suitable for lowering the material carried thereon. The process of lowering the material here is realized by the action of the unloading worker.
[0072] When the sensing device senses that the material has been unloaded, the first drive module drives the first transfer platform 121 to return to its original position, and the second drive module controls the second transfer platform 122 to switch from the first position 140 to the second position 150. The specific process is not further described. Of course, in other situations, the first transfer platform 121 can also be rotated 180 degrees and then docked downstream to automatically transport materials. The position where the first transfer platform rotates to directly facing the downstream is the second position 150.
[0073] It can be seen that the second position 150 is not limited to the specific movement position of the transfer platform 120, but is suitable for triggering the matching module at the second position 150 to ensure that each material transported through the transfer platform 120 is output with a corresponding material identification without omission or error.
[0074] In some cases, the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 can carry materials at the same time, and ensure through locking or active control that: within the same time period, only one transfer platform 120 of the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 switches to the second position 150.
[0075] Optional, such as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the drive module is configured as a motor with a programmable logic controller (Power Line Communication), that is, a PLC motor 130 , which is controlled by the programmable logic controller.
[0076] For example, the control logic configured within the PLC controller is as follows: when the sensing device on the first transfer platform 121 or the second transfer platform 122 in the second position 150 senses that material on that transfer platform 120 has been removed, the drive module resets that transfer platform 120 and switches the other transfer platform 120 to the second position 150. In other words, if either the first transfer platform 121 or the second transfer platform 122 is in the second position 150 and material on that platform has not been removed, the material-supporting transfer platform will not return to its original position, and the other transfer platform will not start. Therefore, the PLC controller can achieve the goal of only having one transfer platform 120 switch to the second position 150.
[0077] Likewise, the control logic and related program contents described herein are means already used in the prior art, and the present utility model does not involve any improvement thereto.
[0078] It can be understood that by driving the transfer platform 120 through a drive module such as a PLC motor 130, the transfer platform 120 can transport materials one by one or in batches, and the transfer platform 120 can be rotated on the base 110 to transport materials from upstream to downstream through the rotation action, reducing the operations required by workers, avoiding errors due to human operations, and improving production efficiency.
[0079] In some preferred embodiments, the rotation angle of the transfer platform 120 is preferably 120°~140°.
[0080] For example, if the rotation angle of the transfer platform 120 is 120°, then when the transfer platform 120 rotates 120°, the transfer platform 120 is in the second position 150; for another example, if the rotation angle of the transfer platform 120 is 140°, then when the transfer platform 120 rotates 140°, the transfer platform 120 is in the second position 150.
[0081] In this preferred example, the rotation angle of the transfer platform 120 is set to 120°~140°. After the transfer platform 120 switches to the second position, it rotates to any angle between 120°~140°, thereby approaching the downstream area of the material line. At this time, the unloading worker faces the downstream of the material line, and the transfer platform 120 rotates to the side of the material worker, so that the unloading worker in the downstream area can take the material from the transfer platform 120 to the downstream of the material line.
[0082] Continue to combine Figure 3 , the specific structure of the transfer platform 120 is described in detail.
[0083] The first transfer platform 121 includes a receiving plate 1211 and a first baffle 1212 located on both sides of the width of the receiving plate 1211. The receiving plate 1211 is arranged horizontally and one end of the length of the receiving plate 1211 is rotatably connected to the base 110, and the other end is open for receiving or lowering materials. The first baffle 1212 is suitable for limiting the material between the receiving plate 1211 to prevent the material from falling from the width direction of the receiving plate 1211.
[0084] Specifically, taking the first transfer platform 121 as an example, a first ring is constructed at one end of the receiving plate 1211 connected to the first transfer platform 121. The outer wall of the first ring is formed with a first spline 1213. The assembly plate 114 extends beyond the first platform 1141 to fit within the first ring. The axial movement between the first ring and the first platform 1141 is restricted. A PLC motor 130 is connected to the first ring. The PLC motor 130 is fixed to the receiving plate 1211 and has an output shaft 131 facing the first ring.
[0085] A second spline 1311 is formed on the output shaft 131 , and the first spline 1213 engages with the second spline 1311 to form a transmission structure. The PLC motor 130 drives the first ring body to rotate around the first platform 1141 through the output shaft 131 to drive the receiving plate 1211 to rotate.
[0086] In some examples, a position sensor 115 is provided on the base 110 to detect the rotation angle of the first transfer platform 121. Similarly, a corresponding position sensor 115 is provided on the second transfer platform 122 to detect the movement position. In this example, the first transfer platform 121 and the second transfer platform 122 have substantially the same structure, and the structure of the second transfer platform 122 will not be described in detail below.
[0087] In some examples, the transfer platform 120 further includes a second baffle 1214. The second baffle 1214 is arc-shaped and disposed on the receiving plate 1211 between the receiving portion and the rotating connection portion of the receiving plate 1211. Specifically, the second baffle 1214 is formed on the first ring body to prevent materials from falling along the length direction of the receiving plate 1211.
[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material line 200 includes at least two material lines 200, each of which is arranged sequentially along the material flow direction of the material line 200. The transfer device 100 described in any of the aforementioned embodiments is installed between adjacent material stations. The material line 200 can be a logistics line, a production line, or other transportation line.
