[0046] The technical solution of the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0047] See also Figure 1 The utility model discloses a silo mechanism 100, which includes a base 10, a conveying unit 20 and a lifting unit 30. The conveying unit 20 includes a conveying roller 21 and a supporting plate 22. The conveying roller 21 is arranged on the base 10. The conveying roller 21 can rotate around its own axis. The supporting plate 22 can dock with the conveying roller 21 to receive the material tray. The lifting unit 30 is arranged on the base 10, and the lifting unit 30 is connected to the supporting plate 22. The lifting unit 30 is used to drive the supporting plate 22 to rise and fall relative to the base 10, so that the supporting plate 22 rises relative to the base 10 to lift the material tray, or descends relative to the base 10 to dock with the conveying roller 21.

[0048] The silo mechanism 100 of the present application adopts a design in which the conveying unit 20 includes a conveying roller 21 and a support plate 22. When it is necessary to receive the material tray on the AGV trolley 200, the support plate 22 can be lowered relative to the base 10 to dock with the conveying roller 21 for cooperation. The rotating conveying roller 21 can receive the material tray on the support plate 22. Under the drive of the lifting unit 30, the support plate 22 rises relative to the base 10 to lift the material tray for the downstream equipment to take the material. Compared with the method of using ordinary belt lines to receive material trays in the related art, the conveying roller 21 of the present application can carry a larger load of material trays, so that the material tray can smoothly enter the silo mechanism 100, and the material tray is lifted by the support plate 22 that can be separated from the conveying roller 21, which can make the material tray operation process more stable.

[0049] It can be understood that the silo mechanism 100 in the present application can be lifted up and down to convey the material tray, and the conveying unit 20 used to realize the conveying of the material tray includes a conveying roller 21 and a support plate 22 used in conjunction with each other. The conveying roller 21 only rotates around its own axis and does not participate in the lifting and lowering movement. Instead, the lifting and lowering of the support plate 22 is used to lift or lower the material tray. Specifically, the layer where the conveying roller 21 of the silo mechanism 100 is located can dock with the incoming AGV trolley 200. Under the drive of the lifting unit 30, the support plate 22 can be lowered to dock with the conveying roller 21. The material tray on the AGV trolley 200 is received by the rotation of the conveying roller 21 into the silo mechanism 100. At this time, the support plate 22 can be lifted relative to the base 10 under the drive of the lifting unit 30 to lift the material tray on the conveying roller 21 to realize the conveying of the material tray.

[0050] In order to achieve the cooperation between the support plate 22 and the conveying roller 21 to receive the material tray to the silo mechanism 100 or to convey it out of the silo mechanism 100, the support plate 22 needs to be lowered to below the conveying roller 21, and the rotating conveying roller 21 is used as a carrier to receive the material tray. Figures 2 to 4 In some possible implementations, a hollow hole 22a is provided on the support plate 22. When the support plate 22 is connected to the conveying roller 21, at least a portion of the conveying roller 21 is passed through the hollow hole 22a. In this way, at least a portion of the conveying roller 21 can pass through the hollow hole 22a to be exposed on the surface of the support plate 22, that is, the surface of the support plate 22 is lower than that of the conveying roller 21, so that the two cooperate to receive the material tray.

[0051] Optionally, the conveying roller 21 may include a plurality of roller bodies 211 and a first driving assembly 212 (eg Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of roller bodies 211 are arranged at intervals on the base 10, and a first driving assembly 212 is connected to the plurality of roller bodies 211 to drive the plurality of roller bodies 211 to rotate simultaneously. A plurality of hollow holes 22a are provided, and the plurality of hollow holes 22a are arranged one by one corresponding to the plurality of roller bodies 211. When the support plate 22 is docked with the conveying roller 21, each roller body 211 is respectively penetrated in the corresponding hollow holes 22a. By arranging a plurality of hollow holes 22a at intervals on the support plate 22, the overall structural strength of the support plate 22 can be ensured, and in the process of cooperating with the plurality of roller bodies 211 of the conveying roller 21 to receive materials, the stability of the material tray conveying can be effectively ensured.

[0052] Optionally, as an example, the first drive assembly 212 can adopt a structure of motor and sprocket drive, the sprocket connects multiple roller bodies 211, and the sprocket drive is used to drive the roller bodies 211 to rotate simultaneously. The structural design of this part is a technology disclosed in the art, and this embodiment will not be described in detail. Of course, in other examples, the first drive assembly 212 can also adopt an indirect drive method such as a motor and a gear, a motor and a pulley, or a pneumatic drive direct drive method, as long as it can meet the rotation of the conveying roller, and the specific structural form is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

[0053] In order to realize that the support plate 22 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 10, see Figure 3 The lifting unit 30 may include a lifting module 31 and a lifting drive device 32 connected to the lifting module 31. The lifting module 31 is arranged on the base 10. The lifting module 31 is connected to the support plate 22. The lifting drive device 32 is used to drive the lifting module 31 to drive the support plate 22 to rise and fall relative to the base 10. The support plate 22 can be lifted relative to the base 10 by the lifting module 31 to lift the material tray. The lifting module 31 is driven by the lifting drive device 32 to move so as to achieve the lifting effect of the support plate 22. The lifting drive device 32 can be a driving mode of a motor and a reducer, that is, a reduction motor. On the basis of being able to achieve driving, the input speed can be controlled within the required range, providing more speed options to meet the speed requirements of the conveying roller 21.

[0054] In the related art, the lifting part of the silo mechanism 100 is mostly lifted in a similar manner to a forklift structure, where the control rod is pushed upward to allow hydraulic oil to enter the hydraulic cylinder, thereby lifting the fork or the workbench upward. Such a structural design is not stable in operation and is not suitable for heavy-loaded and large-sized trays.

[0055] Based on this, in some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 The lifting module 31 may include two screw lifts 311 and a transmission assembly 312. The two screw lifts 311 are arranged on the base 10 at intervals. The screw lifts 311 are connected to the support plate 22. The transmission assembly 312 is arranged at the bottom of the base 10. The transmission assembly 312 is connected between the two screw lifts 311 and the lifting drive device 32 to drive the two screw lifts 311 to move up and down. The double screw lift design has a stronger lifting capacity. When the support plate 22 bears a heavy load tray, the lifting process of the support plate 22 can be made more stable.

[0056] Optionally, the transmission assembly 312 can be a structure that can realize transmission, such as a sprocket, a first synchronous belt, etc. In addition, the two screw lifts 311 can be arranged at the center of the base 10 and the two are arranged symmetrically, so that the screw lifts 311 can drive the lifting of the support plate 22 to be more balanced during operation.

[0057] Specifically, the transmission assembly 312 is connected between the output shaft of the lifting drive device 32 and the two screw lifts 311. Under the drive of the lifting drive device 32, the transmission assembly 312 is driven to move, and the transmission assembly 312 simultaneously drives the two screw lifts 311 to rotate, so as to drive the support plate 22 connected to the screw lifts 311 to move up and down. Thus, the synchronous lifting of the two screw lifts 311 is achieved by the mutual transmission between the transmission assembly 312 connected to the lifting drive device 32 and the screw lifts 311. Since the support plate 22 is connected to the screw lifts 311, the support plate 22 is driven to move up and down relative to the base 10.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the lifting unit 30 may further include at least one guide assembly 33, which is disposed on the base 10 and passes through the support plate 22. By passing the guide assembly 33 through the support plate 22 disposed on the base 10, the support plate 22 can be effectively supported and the overall strength of the silo mechanism 100 can be enhanced, and the lifting and lowering of the support plate 22 can be guided to ensure the smoothness of the lifting trajectory.

[0059] Optionally, the number of guide components 33 can be two, four, etc., and they are symmetrically arranged on the base 10. Preferably, there can be four guide components 33, and four guide components 33 can be arranged on the base 10 and penetrate the four corners of the support plate 22 to effectively maintain the balance of the support of the support plate 22, so that the overall strength of the silo mechanism 100 is more stable, and the lifting and lowering operation of the support plate 22 is more stable.

[0060] In addition, the guide assembly 33 may include a guide shaft and a linear bearing sleeved on the guide shaft, and the guide shaft is passed through the support plate 22 to achieve linear motion. The linear bearing can support the guide shaft, reduce the friction coefficient, and improve the accuracy and stability of the linear motion.

[0061] In some possible implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The silo mechanism 100 further includes a mounting plate 40, which is spaced apart from and faces the base 10, and a conveying silo 50 is formed between the mounting plate 40 and the base 10. The support plate 22 is located in the conveying silo 50, and the support plate 22 can be raised and lowered in the conveying silo 50 under the drive of the lifting unit 30. By forming the conveying silo 50 between the mounting plate 40 and the base 10, a space is provided for the conveying of the tray, and the support plate 22 can be raised and lowered in the conveying silo 50.

[0062] The conveying silo 50 may include an upper silo 51 and a lower silo 52 that are adjacent and spaced apart, and both the upper silo 51 and the lower silo 52 are provided with a conveying unit 20 and a lifting unit 30. The mounting plate 40 has an upper material port 40a and a lower material port 40b that are spaced apart, the upper material port 40a is connected to the upper silo 51, and the lower material port 40b is connected to the lower silo 52. The support plate 22 in the upper silo 51 can be raised relative to the base 10 to lift the material tray to the upper material port 40a, and the support plate 22 in the lower silo 52 can be lowered relative to the base 10 to dock with the conveying roller 21. In this way, loading and unloading can be integrated into the silo mechanism 100, which is conducive to the integration of the silo mechanism 100 and facilitates the silo mechanism 100 to perform loading and unloading operations simultaneously.

[0063] Specifically, the AGV trolley 200 carrying materials can dock with the upper bin 51, and the material tray can be received by the conveying unit 20 located in the upper bin 51, and the pallet 22 can lift the material tray to the upper material port 40a, so that the downstream equipment can grab the material. Similarly, the pallet 22 of the lower bin 52 can lower the material tray from the lower material port 40b to the conveying roller 21, and transport the material tray out of the lower bin 52.

[0064] In order to realize the material tray transportation between the upper material bin 51 and the lower material bin 52, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The silo mechanism 100 may further include a transport unit 60, which is disposed on the mounting plate 40 and is configured to move between the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b to transport the tray. In this way, the tray at the upper material port 40a can be transported to the lower material port 40b by the transport unit 60, and the support plate 22 carries the tray and descends until it docks with the conveying roller 21 of the lower material silo 52, and the tray is transported out of the lower material silo 52 for recycling. Thus, the tray transport is automated by the transport unit 60, and the overall automation of the silo mechanism 100 is improved.

[0065] Optionally, the transport unit 60 may include a transport module 61, a guide 62, and a second drive assembly 63, wherein the guide 62 is disposed on both sides of the mounting plate 40, the transport module 61 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 40 through the guide 62, and the second drive assembly 63 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 40, and the second drive assembly 63 is used to drive the transport module 61 to slide relative to the guide 62. The guide 62 is provided to realize the sliding connection between the transport module 61 and the mounting plate 40, so that the transport module 61 can move between the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b. In addition, the guide 62 can guide the movement of the transport module 61, so that the transport module 61 can maintain linear motion, and keep the circular motion trajectory between the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b consistent, so as to avoid the situation where the sliding position of the transport module 61 deviates. The smooth operation of the transport module 61 is effectively ensured.

[0066] Optionally, the second driving assembly 63 may include a motor and a second synchronous belt, the second synchronous belt is connected between the motor and the transport module 61, and the second synchronous belt is extended in a direction parallel to the mounting plate 40. In this way, by arranging the guide member 62 and the second synchronous belt on both sides of the mounting plate 40, the space of the transport unit 60 in the height direction of the silo mechanism 100 can be saved while being able to meet the movement of the transport module 61, without occupying too much height space, so that the spatial layout of the transport module 61 is more compact.

[0067] It should be noted that since the conveying module 61 needs to move between the loading port 40a and the unloading port 40b, the movement range of the conveying module 61 is relatively large, so the setting span of the second synchronous belt that drives the conveying module 61 to move is also relatively large. In order to prevent unstable operation, a cross commutator and motor drive method can be used to meet the reciprocating motion of the conveying module 61 and make the transmission of power and movement smoother.

[0068] In addition, the guide member 62 may be a linear guide rail, a linear slide groove, etc., which can satisfy the requirement of being slidably connected with the transport module 61 to play a guiding role. The specific structural form is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

[0069] In some possible embodiments, the silo mechanism 100 further includes a plurality of positioning units 70, which are disposed on the mounting plate 40 and are disposed around the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b to position the material tray at the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b. By arranging the positioning units 70 at the upper material port 40a and the lower material port 40b, when the support plate 22 lifts the material tray to the upper material port 40a, the material tray is positioned, which facilitates the accuracy of the downstream equipment to retrieve the material, and the handling module 61 can accurately handle the material tray, effectively improving the overall operation accuracy of the silo mechanism 100.

[0070] Optionally, the shape of the loading port 40a and the unloading port 40b can be square, and positioning units 70 can be provided around the loading port 40a and the unloading port 40b. The positioning unit 70 can adopt the positioning method of cylinder and linear guide rail, and realize positioning by driving the cylinder to move along the linear guide rail. Exemplarily, the material tray is raised to the positioning position of the loading port 40a, and the speed is adjusted by the speed regulating valve so that two of the cylinders reach the position first, which serves as the positioning reference, and the other two cylinders move subsequently, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the material tray.

[0071] The silo mechanism disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model is introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principle and implementation mode of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the silo mechanism of the utility model and its core idea. At the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of ​​the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation mode and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
