[0026] Before describing the scheme of the present utility model, a supplementary explanation is given for the scheme of the present application: the present application is mainly used for the rotary transportation of carriers for products in equipment production lines, so that the carriers can automatically rotate from the output end of the production line to the input end. Specifically, it can be applied to the production line in the process of processing large-size sheets in hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, wherein the sheets are placed in special carriers and moved in the production line. After the processing is completed, the large-volume and heavy-weight carriers need to be transported to the head of the production line for reloading. In order to improve the transfer efficiency of the carriers and reduce the intensity of manual labor, the scheme of the present application is designed to realize the automatic transportation of carriers for loading and unloading.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model proposes a rotary production system.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, the rotary production system includes:

[0029] Production line 1, including an input end 101 and an output end 102;

[0030] The rotary line is used to transfer the empty carriers at the output end 102 of the production line 1 to the input end 101 of the production line 1. The rotary line includes a rotary conveyor 2 for transferring the empty carriers and a reversing device 3 for transferring the position of the empty carriers between the production line 1 and the rotary line. The reversing devices 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotary conveyor 2, so that the production line 1, the reversing device 3 and the rotary conveyor 2 form a circulating production line.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting up a rotary conveyor device 2, used in conjunction with the reversing device 3, the carrier after passing through the production line 1 can be rotated to the loading point of the production line 1, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of low transfer efficiency caused by manual transfer of the carrier.

[0032] In this embodiment, the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2 can be indirectly connected through the lifting and conveying mechanism on the reversing device 3. The spatial position of the carrier is changed through an automated mechanical mechanism to connect with the rotary conveyor 2, thereby realizing efficient and automated transportation of the carrier and reducing the labor intensity of the operators.

[0033] In this embodiment, the production line 1 has an input end 101 and an output end 102, which correspond to the first transfer station 5 respectively, and the rotary conveyor 2 has a recovery end 201 and a supply end 202, which correspond to the second transfer station 6 respectively, wherein the reversing device 3 is arranged between the input end 101 and the supply end 202 and between the output end 102 and the recovery end 201. Therefore, a reversing device 3 is provided at both ends of the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2, which are used for loading and unloading respectively. Specifically, the carrier at the output end 102 of the production line 1 enters the recovery end 201 of the rotary conveyor 2 through the reversing device 3 at the front end, is transported to the supply end 202 by the rotary conveyor 2, and finally is transported to the input end 101 of the production line 1 by the reversing device 3.

[0034] For example, in this embodiment, the rotary conveyor 2 adopts a roller line, which uses multiple sets of motors as driving force, adopts chain transmission, and finally transmits the carrier through roller rotation. This is the existing technology and will not be described here.

[0035] Exemplarily, a plurality of positioning stations (not shown) for positioning the carrier may be provided on the rotary conveyor 2, and positioning tooling or other positioning devices may be used to position and fix the carrier to prevent the carrier from falling off and being damaged during transportation on the rotary conveyor 2.

[0036] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the rotary conveyor 2 can have a variety of setting orientations with respect to the production line 1, such as the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2 are set in parallel or there is a certain angle between the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2. If a parallel setting is adopted, the reversing device 3 is perpendicular to the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2. If a setting is adopted at a certain angle, the reversing device 3 is correspondingly set to a curved shape to achieve end-to-end connection with the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2.

[0037] The horizontal heights of the rotary conveyor 2 and the production line 1 may be the same or different. For example, the conveying surface of the rotary conveyor 2 may be higher than the conveying surface of the production line 1, or the conveying surface of the rotary conveyor 2 may be lower than the conveying surface of the production line 1, or the conveying surface of the rotary conveyor 2 may be the same as the conveying surface of the production line 1.

[0038] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the length direction of the rotary conveyor 2 is parallel to the length direction of the rotary conveyor 2, and the overall length of the production line 1 is equal to the overall length of the rotary conveyor 2, so as to ensure that the carrier can be successfully loaded and unloaded. In this embodiment, the height of the rotary conveyor 2 is lower than the height of the rotary conveyor 2. Due to the difference in height between the two, a conveying mechanism that can drive the placement rack 302 to move horizontally and a lifting mechanism that can drive the placement part to move up and down are provided to realize the transfer of the carrier.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the carrier is fed through the input end 101 of the production line 1 and is output from the output end 102 after the processing of the production line 1 is completed, the reversing device 3 receives the carrier and changes the spatial position of the carrier to transport it to the rotary conveyor 2. After entering the reversing device 3 at the rear end from the rotary conveyor again, the carrier is transferred to the input end 101 of the production line 1 through the reversing device 3 to realize automatic transfer of the carrier.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the reversing device 3 includes a base 301 and a conveying mechanism for transferring empty carriers between the production line 1 and the rotary conveyor 2, the conveying mechanism is used to drive the placement rack 304 to switch positions between the first transfer station 5 and the second transfer station 6, the conveying mechanism is installed on the base 301, and a placement rack 304 for placing empty pallets is provided on the conveying mechanism, and a placement portion for carrying empty carriers is provided on the placement rack 304.

[0041] Meanwhile, a first transfer station 5 and a second transfer station 6 are arranged on the base 301 . The first transfer station 5 is arranged corresponding to the production line 1 , and the second transfer station 6 is arranged corresponding to the rotary conveyor device 2 .

[0042] In this embodiment, by setting up a base 301 and a slide rail 302 on the base, the movement range of the placement rack 304 can be limited, thereby realizing the function of moving the placement rack 304 from the first transfer station 5 to the second transfer station 6 or from the second transfer station 6 to the first transfer station 5, and the set conveying mechanism is used to change the horizontal position of the placement rack 304 to change the position of the empty carrier.

[0043] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a slide rail 302 and a traveling mechanism, the slide rail 302 is set on the base 301, the slide rail 302 extends in the direction of the first transfer station 5 and the second transfer station 6, the traveling mechanism is set on the placement rack 304, and the placement rack 304 slides on the slide rail 302 through the traveling mechanism. In this embodiment, the movement direction of the placement rack 304 is limited to the extension direction of the slide rail 302 by the set slide rail 302, and the traveling mechanism provides driving force to drive the placement rack 304 to slide on the slide rail 302.

[0044] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the slide rail 302 is a chain rail, and the walking mechanism includes a walking motor 305 and a driving wheel, specifically a sprocket that cooperates with the chain rail. The walking motor 305 is arranged on the placement rack 304, and can be specifically fixed to the placement rack 304 with screws. The output end of the walking motor 305 is coaxially connected to the driving wheel, and the driving wheel is cooperatively connected to the slide rail 302. When the walking motor 305 is started, it drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the driving wheel has a cooperative relationship with the chain rail, so it can realize the function of moving on the slide rail 302, and finally drive the placement rack 304 to move.

[0045] In another embodiment, a slider 303 may be provided at the bottom of the placement rack 304 , and a sliding groove slidably connected to the slider 303 may be provided on the base 301 to limit the placement rack 304 and ensure the stability of the movement of the placement rack 304 .

[0046] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism is not limited to the above-mentioned slide rail 302 and walking mechanism, and other mechanisms with movable adjustment can also be used, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod to push the placement rack 304 to move, or a motor-screw transmission method is used to drive the placement rack 304 to move, etc., which can change the position of the placement rack 304.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, a first transfer station 7 and a second transfer station 8 are provided on the placement rack 304, the first transfer station 7 is provided corresponding to the production line 1, and the second transfer station 8 is provided corresponding to the rotary conveyor 2; the reversing device 3 also includes a lifting mechanism provided on the placement rack 304, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the placement part to switch positions between the first transfer station 7 and the second transfer station 8.

[0048] In this embodiment, the placement part includes a lifting platform 309 and a transfer mechanism. Since the rotary conveyor 2 can be adapted to different production lines 1, it cannot be guaranteed that the conveying surface of the rotary conveyor 2 is at the same height as the conveying surface of each production line 1. There is a height difference between the conveying surface of the production line 1 and the conveying surface of the rotary conveyor 2. Since the height of the production line 1 is different from the height of the rotary conveyor 2, the lifting platform 309 receives the carrier coming out of the output end 102 from the first transfer station 7 and moves to the second transfer station 8 corresponding to the recovery end 201, so that the carrier is recovered.

[0049] Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer roller line 311 and a transfer motor 312. The transfer roller line 311 is arranged on the lifting platform 309. The transfer motor 312 is connected to the transfer roller line 311 and is used to drive the transfer roller line 311. The transfer roller line 311 in this embodiment is driven by the transfer motor 312 and the gears are matched for transmission. When the carrier comes out from the output end 102, the height of the transfer roller line 311 will be flush with the output end 102 through the provided lifting mechanism. The transfer roller line 311 is started to move the carrier to the middle of the transfer roller line 311 and then stop. When the lifting platform 309 moves to the second transfer station 8, the transfer roller line 311 is flush with the rotary conveyor 2, and the transfer roller line 311 is started again with the opposite movement direction, so that the carrier on the transfer roller line 311 is transported to the rotary conveyor 2 for rotary transportation.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism can also be replaced by other platforms with moving functions, which can move in the horizontal direction, approaching or moving away from the production line 1 or the rotary conveyor 2 to realize the function of receiving or sending out the carrier.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a driving motor 306 and a synchronous lift 307, and a synchronous driving rod 308 for transmitting power is provided between the driving motor 306 and the synchronous lift 307 and between the synchronous lifts 307. The output ends of the synchronous lifts 307 are provided with driving screws 310, and the free ends of the driving screws 310 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the placement rack 304. A lifting platform 309 is provided in the placement rack 304, and the lifting platform 309 is threadedly connected to the driving screw 310.

[0052] In this embodiment, the synchronous lifter 307 can drive the driving screw 310 to rotate synchronously, and the lifting platform 309 is threadedly connected to the driving screw 310 to achieve stable ascent or descent of the lifting platform 309.

[0053] Exemplarily, the synchronous lift 307 in this embodiment is installed on the top of the placement rack 304 by screws. The placement rack 304 is a square frame. The synchronous lift 307 is installed at the four corners of the placement rack 304. The synchronous lift 307 is a prior art, also called a synchronous lifter, which transmits synchronous power through an internal gear pair and realizes power transmission between the synchronous lifts 307 through a synchronous drive rod 308.

[0054] For example, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the synchronous lift 307 is driven by a drive motor 306, and the drive motor 306 adopts a dual output end to provide synchronous power to the synchronous lifts 307 on both sides.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the two synchronous elevators 307 on the right have two input ends for receiving the power of the drive motor 306 and transmitting the power to the two synchronous elevators 307 on the left, and the two synchronous elevators 307 on the left have an input end for receiving the synchronous power transmitted by the synchronous elevator 307 on the right. The output ends of the synchronous elevators 307 are all located at the bottom thereof, and the output ends are connected to the driving screw 310, and the end of the screw is rotatably connected to the placement frame 304. When the synchronous elevators 307 are started, all the driving screws 310 can rotate at the same time to drive the lifting platform 309 to rise or fall.

[0056] It should also be noted that the lifting mechanism is not limited to using a synchronous lift to change the height direction of the placement part, and a driving member with a telescopic function such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. can also be connected to the placement part to change the height of the placement part.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the utility model further comprises a material unloading mechanism 4 , which is located at the reversing device 3 close to the output end 102 and corresponds to the first transfer station 5 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the separation between the carrier and the pole piece is achieved by the provided unloading mechanism 4. After the carrier moves from the output end 102 to the transfer roller line 311, the pole piece is removed by manual operation, and then the carrier is transferred.

[0059] Exemplarily, the unloading mechanism 4 in this embodiment can adopt a roller line. After the carrier and the electrode piece enter the transfer roller line 311, the operator takes out the electrode piece and puts it on the unloading mechanism 4 to transport the electrode piece to the subsequent production line.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that the utility model is also provided with a control module, which uses a controller to control the start and stop of the walking motor 305, the driving motor 306, and the transfer motor 312. In this embodiment, the movement principle of the conveying mechanism at the front end and the lifting mechanism at the rear end are the same, and the movement process is opposite. It is also controlled by the control module. In addition, a start button can be added. After the operator takes the pole piece from the carrier, he presses the start button to transport the carrier.

[0061] In summary, the utility model, through the provision of the rotary conveyor device 2 and the reversing device 3, can realize automatic transfer and transportation of the carrier when producing sheets on the production line, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the carrier, and the use of an automated transportation method greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operators.

[0062] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
