[0058] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0061] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0062] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described at the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a transfer device, which includes a mounting bracket 1, a guide plate 2 supported on the mounting bracket 1, and a transfer assembly 3 and a driving member 4 mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and located at the lower end of the guide plate 2. The driving member 4 is connected to the transfer assembly 3 to provide power for the transfer assembly 3 and drive the transfer assembly 3 to move along the length direction X of the transfer device. The transfer device includes a plurality of detection members 5 mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and a sensing member 6 mounted on the transfer assembly 3. The plurality of detection members 5 are arranged at intervals along the length direction X of the transfer device. During the movement of the transfer assembly 3, the sensing member 6 is driven to move to a position where the detection members 5 are arranged, thereby confirming the position of the transfer assembly 3. The transfer device includes a protective cover 7 supported on the guide plate 2, and the protective cover 7 is located at the upper end of the guide plate 2. Three detection members 5 can be arranged on the mounting bracket 1. The transfer device is carried on an assembly line. The assembly line includes an assembly line main line 8 and an assembly line branch line 9 that are arranged perpendicular to each other. The assembly line main line 8 and the assembly line branch line 9 correspond to the positions of the three detection members 5, respectively. As shown Figure 1In the direction indicated by the middle arrow, the main line 8 of the assembly line is arranged along the width direction Y of the transfer device to transport materials, and the branch line 9 of the assembly line is arranged along the length direction X of the transfer device to transport materials to both sides of the main line 8 of the assembly line. The materials are transferred from the main line 8 to the branch line 9 of the assembly line through the transfer component 3 in the transfer device.

[0064] The mounting bracket 1 includes a guide rail 11 extending along the length direction X of the transfer device. The transfer assembly 3 is mounted on the guide rail 11 and moves along the extension direction of the guide rail 11 .

[0065] When the detection part 5 located in the middle position detects the sensing part 6, the transfer component 3 is located above the assembly line main line 8, the transfer component 3 grabs the material on the assembly line main line 8, and then moves along the extension direction of the guide rail 11. When the detection part 5 located on the side detects the sensing part 6, the transfer component 3 is located above the assembly line branch line 9, and the transfer component 3 places the material on the assembly line branch line 9.

[0066] The guide plate 2 has a guide groove 21 extending along the length direction X of the transfer device, and the guide groove 21 includes a bending section 211 arranged along the length direction X of the transfer device, and a first straight section 212 and a second straight section 213 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the bending section 211. The bending section 211 corresponds to the position of the main line 8 of the assembly line, and the first straight section 212 and the second straight section 213 correspond to the branch lines 9 on both sides of the main line 8 of the assembly line. A recessed portion 214 is provided on the guide plate 2, and the recessed portion 214 corresponds to the bending section 211 in the guide groove 21. The recessed portion 214 can also penetrate the guide plate 2 along the height direction Z of the transfer device.

[0067] The guide groove 21 can penetrate the guide plate 2 along the height direction Z of the transfer device, so external impurities can easily fall into the transfer device from the guide groove 21, affecting the smoothness of the operation of the transfer device. After the protective cover 7 is installed on the guide plate 2, the guide groove 21 is located in the protective cover 7, which reduces the possibility of impurities falling into the transfer device from the guide groove 21 and improves the reliability of the operation of the transfer device.

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transfer assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a connecting plate 32 carried on the rotating shaft 31, a guide member 33 installed on the connecting plate 32 and located above the rotating shaft 31, and a transfer member 34 installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 31. The transfer assembly 3 includes a moving member 35 rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 31, and along the axial direction Z of the rotating shaft 31, the moving member 35 is located between the connecting plate 32 and the transfer member 34.

[0069] In a possible embodiment, the guide member 33 can be a rolling member. When the guide member 33 moves along the guide groove 21, it will roll relative to the inner wall of the guide groove 21, thereby reducing the resistance between the guide member 33 and the inner wall of the guide groove 21, thereby facilitating the transfer component 3 to move along the length direction X of the transfer device.

[0070] When the transfer assembly 3 is located at the initial position, the guide member 33 and the rotating shaft 31 are spaced apart along the width direction Y of the transfer device. When the transfer assembly 3 moves along the length direction X of the transfer device, the guide member 33 transitions from the bent section 211 to the straight section. Since the bent section 211 is bent along the width direction Y of the transfer device, when the guide member 33 is located in the straight section, the guide member 33 and the rotating shaft 31 are spaced apart along the length direction X of the transfer device, so that the rotating shaft 31 rotates 90°, thereby driving the material to rotate 90°, so that the material faces the transmission direction of the assembly line branch line 9, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the material.

[0071] The connecting plate 32 includes a protrusion 321. Along the axial direction Z of the rotating shaft 31, the protrusion 321 and the guide member 33 are located on the same side. Along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 31, the protrusion 321 and the guide member 33 are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 31. Figure 1 As shown, after the carrying device is assembled, the protrusion 321 extends into the recess 214 and moves along the recess 214 , and the guide member 33 extends into the guide groove 21 and moves along the guide groove 21 .

[0072] When the guide member 33 moves in the curved section 211 and the transfer assembly 3 moves toward the first straight section 212, the protrusion 321 contacts the inner wall of the recess 214, generating resistance, so that the connecting plate 32 drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. When the transfer assembly 3 moves toward the second straight section 213, similar to the above-mentioned movement toward the first straight section 212, the rotation shaft 31 rotates in the clockwise direction through the cooperation between the protrusion 321 and the recess 214.

[0073] The transfer member 34 includes a mounting plate 341 and a cylinder 342 mounted on the mounting plate 341. The mounting plate 341 is mounted on the lower end of the rotating shaft 31. The end of the cylinder 342 away from the mounting plate 341 grabs or places the material. The end of the cylinder 342 moves along the height direction Z of the transfer device. When the transfer member 34 moves to the top of the main line 8 of the assembly line, the end of the cylinder 342 moves toward the direction close to the main line 8 of the assembly line to grab the material, and then moves along the length direction X of the transfer device in the direction away from the main line 8 of the assembly line, so that the transfer member 34 transfers the material to the top of the branch line 9 of the assembly line, and then moves toward the direction close to the branch line 9 of the assembly line to place the material on the branch line 9 of the assembly line.

[0074] The moving part 35 includes a bearing 351, and the moving part 35 is connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the bearing 351. The friction generated when the bearing 351 rotates is small, which reduces the resistance when the rotating shaft 31 and the moving part 35 rotate relative to each other, and facilitates the rotation of the rotating shaft 31.

[0075] The upper surface of the moving member 35 includes a slider 352, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 11 to enable the moving member 35 to move along the guide rail 11. The slider 352 cooperates with the guide rail 11 to limit the relative position of the moving member 35 and the mounting bracket 1 along the width direction Y of the transfer device.

[0076] The slider 352 is provided with a limit groove 352a, which extends along the length direction X of the transfer device, and the guide rail 11 extends into the limit groove 352a, so that the slider 352 and the guide rail 11 can be slidably connected. An opening is provided on one side of the slider 352 that cooperates with the guide rail 11, such as Figure 7 As shown, the opening is smaller than the diameter of the portion of the guide rail 11 extending into the limit groove 352a, so that the inner wall of the limit groove 352a abuts against the side wall of the guide rail 11, thereby limiting the relative position of the slider 352 and the mounting bracket 1 along the height direction Z of the transfer device, thereby reducing the possibility of the transfer component 3 falling.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the moving member 35 includes a fixing block 353 installed on the lower side of the moving member 35 , and the driving member 4 is connected to the moving member 35 via the fixing block 353 , so that the driving member 4 drives the moving member 35 to move.

[0078] When the transfer assembly 3 is located at the initial position, the transfer member 34 in the transfer assembly 3 is aligned with the main line 8 of the assembly line to grab the material on the main line 8 of the assembly line, and the guide member 33 is located at the bending section 211. In the process of the guide member 33 moving from the bending section 211 to the first straight section 212, the bending section 211 causes the guide member 33 to move along the width direction Y of the transfer device while moving along the length direction X of the transfer device, thereby driving the rotating shaft 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. When the guide member 33 moves to the first straight section 212, the rotating shaft 31 drives the transfer member 34 to rotate until the direction of the material is consistent with the transmission direction of the branch line 9 on the side of the main line 8 of the assembly line, and then the transfer member 34 places the material on the branch line 9 on the side of the main line 8 of the assembly line. In the process of the guide member 33 moving from the bending section 211 to the second straight section 213, the bending section 211 causes the guide member 33 to move along the width direction Y of the transferring device while moving along the length direction X of the transferring device, thereby driving the rotating shaft 31 to rotate in the clockwise direction. When the guide member 33 moves to the second straight section 213, the rotating shaft 31 drives the transferring member 34 to rotate until the direction of the material is consistent with the transmission direction of the assembly line branch line 9 on the other side of the assembly line main line 8, and then the transferring member 34 places the material on the assembly line branch line 9 on the other side of the assembly line main line 8.

[0079] After the transfer member 34 grabs the material from the main line 8 of the assembly line, it moves toward the branch line 9 of the assembly line. The guide member 33 cooperates with the guide groove 21 in the guide plate 2 to rotate the rotating shaft 31 in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby driving the material on the transfer member 34 to rotate, so that the direction of the material rotates from being consistent with the transmission direction of the main line 8 of the assembly line to being consistent with the transmission direction of the branch line 9 of the assembly line, which is convenient for processing the material located on the branch line 9 of the assembly line. The cooperation between the guide member 33 and the guide groove 21 enables the material to rotate when the transfer assembly 3 moves along the length direction X of the transfer device, so that it corresponds to the branch line 9 of the assembly line. Compared with the solution of rotating the material by superimposing a cylinder and / or a motor, the embodiment of the present application simplifies the structure of the transfer assembly 3, thereby reducing the production cost and maintenance cost of the transfer assembly 3.

[0080] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the driving member 4 includes a motor 41 installed on the mounting bracket 1 and a transmission belt 42 connected to the output end of the motor 41, and the motor 41 drives the transmission belt 42 to reciprocate along the length direction X of the transfer device, and the transmission belt 42 is connected to the moving member 35 through a fixed block 353.

[0081] The transmission belt 42 is connected to the output end of the motor 41, so that the transmission belt 42 reciprocates along the length direction X of the transfer device, and the transmission belt 42 is connected to the moving part 35 through the fixed block 353, thereby driving the moving part 35 to move between the main line 8 of the assembly line and the branch line 9 of the assembly line, so that the transfer part 34 connected to the moving part 35 transfers the material from the main line 8 of the assembly line to the branch line 9 of the assembly line.

[0082] The present application relates to a transfer device, comprising a mounting bracket 1 and a guide plate 2 supported by the mounting bracket 1, wherein the guide plate 2 comprises a guide groove 21 extending along the length direction X of the transfer device, wherein the guide groove 21 comprises a bending section 211 and a first straight section 212 and a second straight section 213 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the bending section 211. A transfer assembly 3 is arranged on the mounting bracket 1, wherein the transfer assembly 3 comprises a rotating shaft 31 and a guide member 33 and a transfer member 34 connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 31, wherein the guide member 33 extends into the guide groove 21 and can move along the guide groove 21, and the transfer member 34 can take and place materials. When the guide member 33 moves from the bending section 211 to the first straight section 212, the guide member 33 moves obliquely along the bending section 211 toward the first straight section 212, and the rotating shaft 31 rotates in the counterclockwise direction; when the guide member 33 moves from the bending section 211 to the second straight section 213, the rotating shaft 31 rotates in the clockwise direction. The cooperation between the guide member 33 and the guide plate 2 realizes the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 . Compared with setting a rotating device, the structure of the transfer component 3 is simplified, thereby reducing the production cost and maintenance cost of the transfer component 3 .

[0083] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
