[0030] In the description of the utility model, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0031] In modern manufacturing, especially in automated production lines, sufficient delivery and accurate positioning of tools is one of the key links to ensure production efficiency and product quality. In related technologies, the conveyor line transports the tools horizontally, and correspondingly, the tools are only stored in intervals in the horizontal direction. However, this supply method generally has the problem of a small number of tools that can be placed, requiring operators to frequently load or remove materials, increasing the labor intensity of operators.

[0032] For this reason, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the stacking type tool storage chain conveyor device proposed by the utility model includes a chain conveyor line 100 and a limiting assembly 200 for limiting the tool 300. The limiting assembly 200 is installed on the chain conveyor line 100 and moves under the drive of the chain conveyor line 100 to convey the tool 300. It is easy to understand that the chain conveyor line 100 can refer to the common chain plate conveyor line on the market, and has the characteristics of large load capacity and durability. Specifically, the chain conveyor line 100 includes a drive assembly 110 and a conveying plate 120. There are multiple conveying plates 120, and the multiple conveying plates 120 are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100. The drive assembly 110 is suitable for driving the conveying plate 120 to move along a closed loop path. In addition, there are multiple limit assemblies 200, and multiple limit assemblies 200 are arranged at equal intervals on the conveying plate 120 along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100, so that the tools 300 limited by the limit assemblies 200 are sequentially conveyed to the target area during the equidistant stepping conveying operation of the chain conveyor line 100. Among them, the limit assembly 200 includes at least two limit blocks 210, and the two limit blocks 210 are respectively installed on the separated conveying plates 120 to form a stacking area 201. The height of the stacking area 201 is greater than the thickness of the two tools 300. Multiple tools 300 are suitable for stacking in the stacking area 201 along the thickness direction, which effectively increases the number of tools 300 that can be stored in a single stacking area 201, and improves the utilization rate of the storage space. It is easy to understand that through the cooperation of the chain conveyor line 100 and the drive assembly 110, the automatic and continuous conveying of the tools 300 is realized, which greatly improves the production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and improves the safety of the operation. Furthermore, each stacking area 201 can stack multiple knives 300, thereby increasing the number of knives 300 that can be supplied by the chain conveyor line 100 as a whole, effectively reducing the frequency of loading and unloading by operators, and reducing labor intensity. In some applications, operators can load or unload materials at one end of the chain conveyor line 100, and a manipulator for automatic loading or unloading is provided at the other end of the chain conveyor line 100, wherein the chain conveyor line 100 places a stacking area 201 in a graspable area of ​​the manipulator, processes multiple knives 300 therein, and then the chain conveyor line 100 runs, and then places the next stacking area 201 in the graspable area of ​​the manipulator.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting assembly 200 is provided with a guide structure to guide the tool 300 into the stacking area 201, so as to more accurately guide the tool 300, facilitate the loading and unloading operations of the operator, and enhance the convenience of operation. Figure 2 and Figure 3The guide structure includes a guide surface 2101, which is arranged at the end of the limit block 210. The structure is simple, and the tool 300 can be guided to enter between the two limit blocks 210. Optionally, the guide surface 2101 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is arranged to be inclined downward toward one side of the center of the stacking area 201. It is easy to understand that the distance between the limit blocks 210 corresponding to the same limit assembly 200 can be adjusted by installing them on different conveying plates 120 respectively to adapt to tools 300 with large differences in specifications. In addition, in some embodiments of the utility model, the limit assembly 200 is provided with an adjustment structure to adjust the distance between the two limit blocks 210, which can adapt to tools 300 with smaller differences in specifications and better compatible with the manufacturing errors of the tools 300 for adjustment. Specifically, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment slot 2102 and a fixing hole 1201, the adjustment slot 2102 is arranged on the limit block 210, and the fixing hole 1201 is arranged on the transmission plate 120. The limit block 210 and the transmission plate 120 are fixed by fixing screws located in the adjustment slot 2102 and the fixing hole 1201, and the structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient. Optionally, the limit block 210 is an L-shaped bending plate, which is easy to manufacture. In some applications, according to the width of the tool 300, the two L-shaped bending plates are arranged oppositely or back to back, so that the width of the short side bending portion of the L-shaped bending plate is also used as an overall adjustable distance. It is easy to understand that in general fixed applications, at least two fixing screws are required to fix the limit block 210, and correspondingly, the adjustment slot 2102 extends along the width direction of the transmission plate 120, and there are multiple adjustment slots 2102, and multiple adjustment slots 2102 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the transmission plate 120. Furthermore, the stop block 210 is fixed to the transmission plate 120 by a plurality of fixing screws. In addition, the stop block 210 has a plurality of installation positions in the length direction of the transmission plate 120, and can optionally contact different positions of the cutters 300 of different lengths, and has good applicability to the cutters 300 of various lengths. In some embodiments, there are a plurality of fixing holes 1201, and the plurality of fixing holes 1201 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the transmission plate 120, and the number of the fixing holes 1201 is greater than the number of the adjusting slots 2102, so that the adjusting slots 2102 are selected to cooperate with at least two of the fixing holes 1201. Optionally, there are two adjusting slots 2102, and there are three fixing holes 1201, and the distance between the two adjusting slots 2102 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent fixing holes 1201. In some embodiments, there are four stop blocks 210, and the four stop blocks 210 are arranged in a rectangular lattice, so as to limit the cutter 300 at multiple positions, better limit the cutter 300, and enhance the stability and reliability of the cutter 300 in the transportation.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2In some embodiments of the utility model, there is a blank area 202 between adjacent limit assemblies 200. Along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100, the width of the blank area 202 is different from the width of the stacking area 201, which is convenient for operators to identify and distinguish the stacking area 201 and the blank area 202, and put the tool 300 into the correct area, which is consistent with the operation mode of the chain conveyor line 100. In some embodiments, along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100, the width of the blank area 202 is smaller than the width of the stacking area 201, which reduces the waste of the conveying space of the chain conveyor line 100 and improves the space utilization rate. Therefore, more stacking areas 201 are set in the conveying space, and more tools 300 can be stored as a whole.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
