[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, end, etc. appear in this article to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish elements from each other for easy understanding, and are not used to define any direction or order limitation.

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a transfer vehicle for transferring automobile roofs comprises a bottom frame 1, support columns 2 arranged at the ends of the bottom frame 1, a support area is defined between the support columns 2, a plurality of slidable stacking assemblies are provided in the support area, the plurality of stacking assemblies are spaced apart about the circumferential ends of the automobile roof, and are limited with the automobile roof in the lateral direction, and a limiting column 3 is further provided in the support area about the front and rear directions of the automobile roof, the limiting column 3 and the plurality of stacking assemblies are enclosed to form a limiting area, the stacking assembly comprises a stacking column 4, and a plurality of stacking units 5 vertically spaced apart and arranged on the stacking column 4, the stacking unit 5 is rotatably provided, the automobile roof is supported on the stacking unit 5, and the stacking unit 5 and the stacking column 4 define a material taking space 6 above the limiting area, and the material taking space 6 is configured to limit a plurality of automobile roofs from sequentially leaving the limiting space from top to bottom.

[0033] Through the transfer vehicle of the utility model, multiple transfer vehicles can be set up as loading stations and unloading stations. The robot can grab the car roof on the loading station from top to bottom for processing, and place the processed car roof from bottom to top into the unloading station. There is no need to wait in the intermediate process, which improves the work efficiency of the robot's transfer.

[0034] Specifically, the stacking unit 5 includes a loading state in which the vehicle roof is supported at the bottom, a tilted state in which the vehicle roof is separated from the supporting plate 5.2, and an evasive state in which the vehicle roof is actuated and completely retracted into the installation space 4.3.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, as a further embodiment of the stacking column 4, the stacking column 4 includes two side columns 4.1 arranged opposite to each other, and an installation space 4.3 for accommodating and rotating the stacking unit 5 is defined between the two side columns 4.1, and a rotating shaft 4.2 arranged vertically at intervals is provided in the installation space 4.3, and the stacking unit 5 is constrained to rotate on the rotating shaft 4.2. When the stacking unit 5 is loaded, it extends out of the installation space 4.3 under the action of the automobile roof, thereby entering the limiting space to be supported on the bottom of the automobile top rod. In addition, the installation space 4.3 is penetrated in the vertical direction to facilitate the vertical deflection of the stacking unit 5. At the same time, the installation space 4.3 also plays a role in limiting the front and rear positions of the stacking unit 5.

[0036] from Figures 3 to 5 It can be seen that, specifically, the stacking unit 5 includes a support plate 5.2 and a counterweight plate 5.1 extending at both ends of the rotating shaft 4.2, the support plate 5.2 extends out into the limited space through the installation space 4.3, the counterweight plate 5.1 extends upward over the upper portion of the support plate 5.2, and is arranged at an obtuse angle to the support plate 5.2, wherein the counterweight plate 5.1 is mainly used to drive the support plate 5.2 to rotate upward under the action of the gravity of the counterweight block 5.3 when the automobile roof on the stacking unit 5 is taken out, thereby reducing the extended length of the support plate 5.2 in the limited space, so as to improve the smoothness of the automobile roof taking process.

[0037] Preferably, the support plate 5.2 can be made of a flexible material, or a flexible sleeve can be provided on the outer surface of the support plate 5.2 to reduce the wear and hard friction on the surface of the automobile roof.

[0038] In other embodiments, a flexible silicone brush layer is further provided on the surface of the support plate 5.2 to provide a buffer for the car roof when it is supported on the surface of the support plate 5.2.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the counterweight plate 5.1, the counterweight plate 5.1 has a plurality of counterweight blocks 5.3 arranged on the end away from the support plate 5.2, and a baffle plate 5.4 is fixedly arranged between the top of the counterweight block 5.3 and the counterweight plate 5.1, and the baffle plate 5.4 at least covers the splicing position between two adjacent counterweight blocks 5.3, and its purpose is to prevent the counterweight plate 5.1 from being stuck with the end of another stacking unit 5 when it rotates with the stacking unit 5.

[0040] Preferably, one end of the baffle 5.4 is fixed on the counterweight block 5.3, and the other end is connected to one end of the counterweight plate 5.1 close to the support plate 5.2, so that the baffle 5.4 is arranged on the counterweight plate 5.1 as a whole in an inclined surface, so that when the upper and lower stacking units 5 contact each other as the car roof is taken out, it plays a certain guiding role, which is beneficial for the upper stacking unit 5 below to actuate the baffle 5.4 on the counterweight plate 5.1 to guide the stacking unit 5 to rotate to a tilted state.

[0041] As an option, there are two counterweights 5.3, and each counterweight is cylindrical in shape.

[0042] Specifically, a guide surface 5.21 arranged in a circular arc is provided at the bottom of the support plate 5.2, the purpose of which is that when the car roof below takes materials upward and leaves the transfer vehicle, the moving car roof can actuate the support plate 5.2 to rotate from the tilted state to the avoidance state through the guide surface 5.21.

[0043] Specifically, the upper surface of the support plate 5.2 is provided with an inclined bearing surface 5.22, which is used to match the contour of the automobile roof on the one hand, and to increase the contact area with the automobile roof on the other hand, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the automobile top rod on the stacking unit 5.

[0044] Optionally, polyurethane brushes are provided on the supporting surface 5.22, and the polyurethane brushes are arranged obliquely on the supporting surface to ensure the stability of the automobile roof on the supporting contact surface, and allow the automobile roof to bounce elastically at the supporting position to reduce damage caused by transportation vibration.

[0045] Optionally, the stacking assembly is arranged with respect to the front-to-back direction and the lateral direction of the automobile roof, and the supporting surface 5.22 on the support plate 5.2 matches the curvature of the automobile roof. As an example, the inclination directions of the supporting surface 5.22 in the front-to-back direction are arranged relatively to each other to position the automobile roof.

[0046] Specifically, the upper stacking unit 5 rotates from the loading state to the tilted state as the automobile roof is detached, and is actuated to the avoidance state as the lower automobile roof is detached, and the lower stacking unit 5 in the loading state restricts the upper stacking unit 5 in the tilted state, so that as the automobile roof is taken one by one from top to bottom, the stacking units 5 can switch from the loading state, the tilted state and the avoidance state one by one from top to bottom.

[0047] In the loaded state, each stacking unit 5 supports a car roof, wherein the support plate 5.2 is arranged horizontally, and the counterweight plate 5.1 is located above the rear side of the support plate 5.2, and the counterweight block 5.3 thereon gives the support plate 5.2 an upward tilting force;

[0048] When the manipulator grabs the car roof on the upper stacking unit 5, the car roof is separated from the support plate 5.2, and the stacking unit 5 rotates and tilts to a tilted state under the action of the counterweight plate 5.1, while the lower stacking unit 5 is still pressed by the car roof and kept in the loading state, and the counterweight plate 5.1 on the lower stacking unit 5 is still in an upward tilted posture, so that the counterweight plate 5.1 of the upper stacking unit 5 rotates downward and abuts against the adjacent counterweight plate 5.1 below, so that the support plate 5.2 of the current stacking unit 5 partially extends out of the installation space 4.3;

[0049] When the robot further grabs the car roof on the lower stacking unit 5, the car roof below the lower car roof detaches from the lower support plate 5.2. As the car roof moves upward, the lower counterweight plate 5.1 rotates downward to allow the upper counterweight plate 5.1 to rotate to an evasive state. The lower car roof will actuate the upper stacking unit 5 which is still in the raised state. The support plate 5.2 of the upper stacking unit 5 is located in the detachment track of the lower car roof, so that it is actuated by the car roof and further rotates. The stacking unit 5 moves to the avoidance state, at which time the upper stacking unit 5 leaves the limited space, while the lower stacking unit 5 remains in the tilted state. Therefore, when the automobile roof needs to be loaded again, its loading path from top to bottom will not be interfered by the upper stacking unit 5, but can be directly pressed against the tilted stacking unit 5 below. When the lower stacking unit 5 receives the automobile roof and returns to the loading state, the counterweight plate rotates upward and presses the upper counterweight plate to rotate, so that the upper stacking unit tilts and extends out into the limited space.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in other embodiments, the stacking column 4 is adjustable to adapt to the contours of different automobile roofs, a first adjustment plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the stacking column 4, a second adjustment plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the limiting column 3, a stacking adjustment block for the first adjustment plate 7 and the second adjustment plate 8 to slide thereon, and a limiting adjustment block are provided in the supporting area, and a slide groove 9 extending forward and backward or laterally is provided on the first adjustment plate 7 and the second adjustment plate 8.

[0051] As an example, the direction of the slide groove 9 on the first adjustment plate 7 is set with respect to the lateral direction, so that the stacking column 4 supports and limits the automobile roof cover with respect to the left and right directions. The direction of the slide groove 9 on the second adjustment plate 8 is set with respect to the front and rear directions, so that the front and rear directions of the automobile roof cover can be limited and adjusted through the limiting column 3 to meet the needs of automobile roof covers with different size contours.

[0052] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
