Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a carrier distribution device for an assembly line, which is used for distributing and distributing carriers arranged together and waiting to be displaced in batches. Background Art
[0002] The assembly line is used to transport goods over long distances. When transporting goods, it is necessary to use a carrier to clamp or hold the goods. In some large-scale application sites, such as supermarket online selection systems, in order to take into account various areas within the site and enable communication between various areas, the assembly line needs to have a relatively complex setting. In a complex assembly line, the walking path of the carrier will also be relatively complex. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to set up waiting stations on the assembly line so that the carriers can be arranged at the waiting stations and change tracks, divert, and merge to the downstream side when the opportunity arises. The structure of the carrier generally includes a hanging part and a main body. The hanging part is used to slidably hang on the track of the assembly line, and the main body adopts a bagging or hanging method to realize the loading of goods. The hanging part can be a strip-shaped hook or a hanging roller. When the attachment part is a hook, when the vehicle is arranged and waiting in the waiting position, adjacent attachment parts tend to abut against each other. When the ordinary lowering structure is used to lower the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be strictly lowered in batches, which will result in poor smoothness when the vehicle is lowered. If the vehicle is not lowered according to the set lowering order, the subsequent path of the vehicle will be confused, and the vehicle sometimes cannot reach the final target position. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to provide an assembly line carrier distribution device for realizing batch distribution of carriers, which is conducive to the carriers being able to smoothly reach the designated final position.
[0004] In order to solve the technical problem, the technical solution of the utility model is: a flow line carrier distribution device, including a power mechanism and a distribution component, the power mechanism is transmission-connected with the distribution component, under the output power of the power mechanism, the distribution component is used to distribute and lower the carriers in batches, and is characterized in that the distribution component includes a front distribution rod and a rear distribution rod, the front distribution rod and the rear distribution rod are arranged in parallel, and a distribution opening for the hanging part on the current batch of carriers to enter is formed between the front distribution rod and the rear distribution rod, a blocking structure for blocking the hanging part of the current batch is formed on the side of the front distribution rod facing the distribution opening, and a distribution structure is formed on the end of the rear distribution rod away from the distribution opening, and the distribution structure is used to prevent the hanging part of the next batch from entering the distribution opening.
[0005] The blocking structure can be the structure of the front dispatch lever itself, or it can be formed by the front dispatch lever combined with the convex structure described below. The dispatch structure can be formed by sharpening the rear dispatch lever, or it can be a structure with a fork, or a pressed tooth structure. The carriers are dispatched in batches. Generally, one carrier is dispatched at a time, that is, the carriers are dispatched and lowered one by one.
[0006] Furthermore, the front and rear levers are both rod bodies, and are arranged on the upper side of the vehicle in the forward direction. The lever components of this structure are simple in structure and convenient to arrange, and are convenient for realizing the levering of the vehicle under the action of the power mechanism.
[0007] Furthermore, a convex body protruding toward the distribution port is provided on the side of the front distribution rod facing the distribution port, and the blocking structure is formed between the convex body and the front distribution rod. The convex body can well accommodate the carrier hooking part, so that the carrier hooking part can be stably maintained in the distribution port.
[0008] Furthermore, a notch is provided at the middle of the convex body, and the notch is used for the rear derailleur rod to be inserted and matched. By matching the clearance between the rear derailleur rod and the notch, the derailleur opening formed by the front and rear derailleur rods is stable and reliable, and the front and rear derailleur rods have good stability when moving relative to each other.
[0009] Furthermore, a notch is provided at the end of the rear distribution rod, and the notch makes the end of the rear distribution rod a pointed end, thereby forming the distribution structure. The end of the rear distribution rod is a pointed end, so that it is convenient to separate adjacent carrier hanging parts. With the notch, when the carrier hanging parts are distributed, the notch can vertically limit the carrier hanging parts of the next batch, which can well meet the actual work needs.
[0010] Furthermore, the power mechanism includes a cylinder, and the front and rear derailleur rods are connected to the same cylinder. The front and rear derailleur rods are powered by the same cylinder, which can simplify the structure and facilitate the position requirements between the front and rear derailleur rods.
[0011] Furthermore, two power blocks are arranged on the cylinder, and the front dispatching rod and the rear dispatching rod are correspondingly connected to the two power blocks through two brackets, and the movement directions of the two power blocks are the same. The transmission connection of the front and rear dispatching rods is realized through the power blocks and the brackets, which can well meet the position requirements between the relevant components and meet the actual work needs.
[0012] Furthermore, a vehicle sensor is provided on the upstream side of the distribution member, and the vehicle sensor is connected to the controller of the power mechanism. By providing a vehicle sensor to sense whether a vehicle has arrived at the waiting position, which serves as a prerequisite for starting the distribution device, the safety of the distribution device can be effectively improved.
[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle sensor comprises a movable sensor sheet, the sensor sheet is used to contact the vehicle, and a sensor head is provided on the outer side of the sensor sheet for sensing the position of the sensor sheet. The vehicle sensor has a simple structure and good working reliability.
[0014] Furthermore, the middle part of the sensing sheet is hingedly connected, the weight of the lower end of the sensing sheet is greater than the weight of the upper end, the sensing head is used to sense the upper end position of the sensing sheet, and the lower end of the sensing sheet is used to touch the vehicle. By setting the weight of the sensing sheet to be biased, the sensing sheet can be extended into the travel channel of the vehicle, thereby well satisfying the touch perception of the vehicle position, with a simple structure and convenient signal output.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effect of allocating carriers by front and rear distributing rods arranged in parallel, so that the carriers arranged in the waiting position can be distributed in batches, so that the carriers can move forward to the downstream side in batches, and the carriers are not easily entangled, so that the overall operation stability of the assembly line is good. The front distributing rod is used to block the carriers after distribution, and the rear distributing rod is used to distribute and block the carriers arranged together. After the distribution is completed, the front distributing rod gives up the blocking position, so that the distributed carriers can move forward to the downstream position in a single batch. The working stability of this distribution device is good, so that the carriers on the assembly line are not easily entangled and piled up, which improves the overall operation stability of the assembly line.

[0020] In conjunction with the drawings in the specification, the distribution device is arranged on the assembly line, especially at the lowering waiting position of the assembly line workstation, or at the lowering waiting position on the upstream side of the diversion device. The assembly line involved includes a track 1, which is arranged in a certain direction in the venue, and the carrier moves forward on the track 1 along a certain path. During the forward movement of the carrier, a series of operations need to be performed, and the consistency of the operation speed at various locations of the assembly line cannot be guaranteed, which will result in the need to set up waiting positions at some locations for the carriers to line up and wait. The distribution device is usually set on the downstream side of the waiting position.
[0021] The fixed base plate 5 is fixedly arranged relative to the track 1, and the stand in the assembly line provides support for the fixed base plate 5, and the distribution device is supported on the fixed base plate 5. The structure of the distribution device includes a power mechanism and a distribution component, and the power mechanism is connected to the distribution component in a transmission manner. Under the output power of the power mechanism, the distribution component is used to distribute and lower the waiting carriers in batches. The distribution component includes a front distribution rod 8 and a rear distribution rod 9, and the front distribution rod 8 and the rear distribution rod 9 are arranged in parallel. The two distribution rods can be arranged on the upper side of the track 1 as shown in the figure, or the front distribution rod 8 can be arranged on the lower side of the track 1, and the rear distribution rod 9 can be arranged on the upper side of the track 1. Considering the compactness of the structure and convenient control, it is preferred that both distribution rods are arranged on the upper side of the track 1.
[0022] A distribution port is formed between the front distribution rod 8 and the rear distribution rod 9 which are arranged in parallel. A blocking structure for blocking the hooking part of the current batch is formed on the side of the front distribution rod 8 facing the distribution port, and a distribution structure is formed on the side of the end of the rear distribution rod 9 away from the distribution port, and the distribution structure is used to prevent the hooking part of the next batch from entering the distribution port. Under normal circumstances, the number of carriers corresponding to one batch is one. During operation, the rear distribution rod 9 is lifted, the front distribution rod 8 is in a low position, the hooking part on the carrier of the current batch will enter the distribution port, and the front distribution rod 8 blocks the hooking part of the carrier entering the distribution port. The lateral size of the distribution port corresponds to the size of the hooking part on the carrier of the current batch, and the hooking part on the carrier of the next batch will not enter the distribution port. The rear distribution rod 9 is lowered, and the two batches of carriers are distributed. The front distribution rod 8 is lifted, and the carrier of the current batch will move forward to the downstream side. The movement of the two-way shift lever also needs to be determined according to the operation of the vehicle on the assembly line. The movement of the shift lever is driven by the power mechanism and given a signal by the central controller in the assembly line.
[0023] The front distribution lever 8 and the rear distribution lever 9 are both rod bodies, and the front distribution lever 8 and the rear distribution lever 9 are both arranged on the upper side of the vehicle's forward direction, that is, the front distribution lever 8 and the rear distribution lever 9 operate the vehicle from the upper side to achieve the distribution and lowering of the vehicle. A blocking structure can also be arranged on the upstream side of the distribution device, and the blocking structure can be a lowering hook, which blocks the vehicle from descending. When distribution is required, the blocking structure releases the blocking of the vehicle, and the front distribution lever 8 and the rear distribution lever 9 work together to achieve the distribution and lowering of the vehicle.
[0024] The front derailleur rod 8 is provided with a convex body 81 protruding toward the derailleur port on the side facing the derailleur port. The convex body 81 is a block-shaped body. The convex body 81 is connected to the front derailleur rod 8 as a whole. The blocking structure is formed between the convex body 81 and the front derailleur rod 8. The carrier hooking part entering the derailleur port is located at the lower side of the convex body 81. A notch 82 is provided at the middle position of the convex body 81. The notch 82 penetrates the convex body 81 in the vertical direction. The rear derailleur rod is inserted into the notch 82 with a gap. A notch 91 is provided at the end of the rear derailleur rod 9. The notch 91 is away from the derailleur port. The existence of the notch 91 makes the lower end of the rear derailleur rod 9 form a pointed tip, so that the lower end of the rear derailleur rod 9 can be smoothly inserted between two adjacent hooking parts on adjacent carriers. The notch 91 is used to press the hooking part on the next batch of carriers.
[0025] As shown in the figure, the power mechanism is a block-shaped cylinder 7, and the front dispatching rod 8 and the rear dispatching rod 9 are simultaneously connected to the cylinder 7 by transmission. The cylinder 7 is arranged vertically, and the cylinder 7 is fixed on the fixed base plate 5. Two power blocks 10 are arranged on the outer surface of the cylinder 7, and the front dispatching rod 8 and the rear dispatching rod 9 are correspondingly connected to the two power blocks 10 by transmission through two brackets 6. The movement directions of the two power blocks 10 are the same, and both move in the vertical direction.
[0026] In order to sense whether there is a vehicle entering the waiting position, a vehicle sensor is provided on the upstream side of the distribution member, and the vehicle sensor is connected to the controller of the power mechanism. The vehicle sensor can be an RFID sensor, a photoelectric switch, or a travel switch.
[0027] The carrier sensor shown in the figure is a mechanical structure, including a movable sensor sheet 2, which is used to touch the carrier. The sensor sheet 2 is mainly used to touch the hanging part on the carrier. A sensor head 3 for sensing the position of the sensor sheet 2 is provided on the outside of the sensor sheet 2. The middle position of the sensor sheet 2 is hinged on the fixed frame 4, the fixed frame 4 is fixed on the fixed substrate 5, and the sensor head 3 is arranged in the fixed frame 4. The weight of the lower end of the sensor sheet 2 is greater than the weight of the upper end. The lower end of the sensor sheet 2 is knife-shaped, and the lower edge of the lower end of the sensor sheet 2 is arc-shaped so as to slide and touch the hanging part of the carrier. The upper end of the sensor sheet 2 is in the shape of a thin rod, and the end of the upper end of the sensor sheet 2 can be provided with a magnet. The sensor head 3 can be a magnetic sensor, and the sensor head 3 is used to sense the upper end position of the sensor sheet 2. When the lower end of the induction sheet 2 touches the carrier hanging part, the upper end of the induction sheet 2 offsets the position of the induction head 3, and the induction head 3 cannot sense the magnetic field. The induction head 3 will give a signal to the controller, which is the primary condition for the controller to control the operation of the power mechanism.
