[0002] With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous changes in the market, products are updated faster and the R & D and manufacturing cycle is shorter. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the production efficiency of the production line. Different functional machines have different CT (Cycle Time), that is, the time required to complete one action is different, that is, the production beats of different functional machines are inconsistent, and the working conditions of one-dragging-two, one-dragging-three, and one-dragging-four often occur. That is, the products conveyed by an upstream conveyor line need to be conveyed to two, three or four downstream conveyor lines. Summary of the Utility Model

[0034] To make the above - mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] Figure 1 Structural schematic diagram of the product exchange device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model; Figure 2 Distribution schematic diagram of the first conveying module, second conveying module, temporary storage module, and handling module in the product exchange device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model; as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the product exchange device provided in the first embodiment of the present utility model includes a first conveying module 100, a second conveying module 200, and a handling module 300. The conveying directions of the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 are both the first direction. The first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 are arranged along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The handling module 300 is located on the same side of the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200, and the handling module 300 is used to convey products between the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200.

[0037] By setting the handling module 300 to convey products between the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 arranged along the second direction, when the products fed into the product exchange device are not suitable for being processed by the production equipment downstream of the first conveying module 100, the handling module 300 can be used to transport them from the first conveying module 100 to the second conveying module 200, and the second conveying module 200 conveys them to the downstream equipment, thereby facilitating the matching of corresponding production equipment for different types of products. Or, the products respectively conveyed by multiple upstream devices to the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 can be jointly moved to the first conveying module 100, and the first conveying module 100 is used to convey them to a downstream conveying line.

[0038] Among them, in this embodiment, the first side of the first conveying module 100 is docked with an upstream or downstream conveying line. And the second sides of the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 are correspondingly provided with downstream or upstream conveying lines. The number of the second conveying modules 200 can be one in the illustrated implementation manner, and can be multiple in other implementation manners.

[0039] Figure 3 Schematic structural diagram of the handling module in the product exchange device provided in the first embodiment of the present utility model; as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, optionally, the handling module 300 includes a horizontal conveying mechanism 310, a lifting conveying mechanism 320, and a clamping mechanism 330. The lifting conveying mechanism 320 is installed at the power output end of the horizontal conveying mechanism 310, and the clamping mechanism 330 is installed at the power output end of the lifting conveying mechanism 320. The clamping mechanism 330 is used to clamp products in the horizontal direction.

[0040] By providing a horizontal conveying mechanism 310, a lifting conveying mechanism 320, and a clamping mechanism 330, after the product is clamped or grasped from the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200, the product can be lifted first, and then moved in the second direction above the first conveying module 100, the second conveying module 200, and the products they convey. Thus, it can be realized that the handling module 300 conveys the product in the second direction and the first conveying module 100 and the second conveying module 200 perform the conveying task in the first direction without interference, improving the overall operation efficiency of the product exchange device.

[0041] Among them, in this embodiment, the horizontal conveying mechanism 310 can adopt a linear module 311, and the power output end of the linear module 311 is installed with the lifting conveying mechanism 320. The lifting conveying mechanism 320 can select a second air cylinder 321. Among them, the second air cylinder 321 is a slide air cylinder, and the telescopic direction of the slide air cylinder is the vertical direction. The air pipes and the like connected to the slide air cylinder can pass through the drag chain 312 to be connected to the upstream control valve (not shown in the figure), etc. Among them, the drag chain 312 can be arranged in the drag chain groove 313 above the linear module 311. The second air cylinder 321 is installed on the lifting base, and the lifting base is installed at the power output end of the linear module 311. And the power output end of the second air cylinder 321 is the installation and clamping base of the clamping mechanism 330.

[0042] Figure 4 Schematic structural diagram of the clamping mechanism in the product exchange device provided by the first embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 5 Schematic structural diagram of the clamping mechanism in the product exchange device provided by the first embodiment of the present utility model as observed from another direction; As Figures 3 - 5 shown, optionally, the clamping mechanism 330 includes a first air cylinder 331, the first air cylinder 331 has two power output ends, and each power output end is fixedly installed with a clamping assembly 332.

[0043] By setting the first cylinder 331 to have two power output ends, and each power output end is fixedly installed with a clamping assembly 332, during the operation of clamping or releasing the product, the two clamping assemblies 332 can move towards each other or away from each other. Thus, when the lifting and conveying mechanism 320 drives the clamping mechanism 330 to move vertically, the first cylinder 331 remains in an extended state, and the two clamping assemblies 332 will not interfere with the product. That is, the vertical movement of the clamping mechanism 330 can occur directly above the product. Compared with the solution where only one power output component drives the clamping assembly 332 to move, and the immovable clamping assembly 332 has to be first moved to the side of the product, and then the horizontal conveying mechanism 310 drives the lifting and conveying mechanism 320 and the clamping mechanism 330 to move so that the immovable clamping assembly 332 fits the side of the product, the number of operations can be reduced, and there is no need for the horizontal conveying mechanism 310 prepared for driving the relatively heavy lifting and conveying mechanism 320 and the clamping mechanism 330 to move for a small distance. Therefore, the operation efficiency can be significantly improved.

[0044] Specifically, the first cylinder 331 can be a double-output cylinder, and the bottom of each power output end is respectively connected to a clamping assembly 332.

[0045] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, optionally, the clamping assembly 332 includes a jaw connecting plate 3321 and jaws 3322. The ends of each jaw connecting plate 3321 are connected to the jaws 3322. The jaws 3322 of the two clamping assemblies 332 are arranged oppositely, and the upper surface of the jaws 3322 is used to support the product.

[0046] By connecting the jaws 3322 to the ends of each jaw connecting plate 3321, the support range of the jaws 3322 can be increased to improve the stability of clamping and supporting the product. And by arranging the jaws 3322 of the two clamping assemblies 332 oppositely, during the clamping process, the jaws 3322 can extend below the edge part of the product, and the upper surface of the jaws 3322 is used to support the product, which improves the reliability of the operation of handling the product.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the jaw connecting plate 3321 includes a connecting vertical plate 33211 and a connecting horizontal plate 33212. Among them, the connecting horizontal plate 33212 is connected to the power output end of the first cylinder 331 through a male thread connecting member such as a screw or a bolt (not shown), and the connecting vertical plate 33211 is connected to the connecting horizontal plate 33212 through a male thread connecting member such as a screw or a bolt (not shown). The length direction of the connecting vertical plate 33211 is generally the first direction. The two ends of the connecting vertical plate 33211 in the first direction are respectively fixedly installed with the jaws 3322 through a male thread connecting member such as a screw or a bolt (not shown).

[0048] The clamping jaws 3322 are respectively installed on the opposite surfaces of two connecting vertical plates 33211 and protrude towards the other connecting vertical plate 33211.

[0049] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, optionally, the clamping jaw connecting plate 3321 further includes an ear plate portion 33213, and the clamping mechanism 330 further includes a first buffer 3323. The first buffer 3323 is connected to the ear plate portions 33213 of the two clamping assemblies 332.

[0050] By providing the ear plate portion 33213 to connect the first buffer 3323, the first buffer 3323 can buffer the two clamping assemblies 332 at the end stage of the relative movement process of the two clamping assemblies 332, preventing the relatively fast speed of the clamping assemblies 332 during the movement process from impacting the product.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, a longitudinal ear plate portion 33213 is provided on the connecting cross plate 33212 of the clamping jaw connecting plate 3321. The ear plate portions 33213 of the two connecting cross plates 33212 are arranged oppositely, and moreover, the ear plate portion 33213 is provided on both opposite side surfaces of the connecting cross plate 33212. The first buffer 3323 can be a hydraulic buffer. That is, in the clamping mechanism 330, a total of two first buffers 3323 are provided. Each first buffer 3323 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the ear plate portion 33213 and is locked by a nut provided thereon. The piston rod of the first buffer 3323 abuts against the other ear plate portion 33213.

[0052] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, optionally, the clamping mechanism 330 further includes a second buffer 333 and a buffer mounting plate 334. The buffer mounting plate 334 is fixedly installed on the first cylinder 331, and the second buffer 333 is installed on the buffer mounting plate 334. The second buffer 333 is used to buffer the movement of the clamping mechanism 330 relative to the product in the vertical direction.

[0053] By providing the second buffer 333 and enabling the second buffer 333 to buffer the movement of the clamping mechanism 330 relative to the product in the vertical direction, on the one hand, it can reduce the impact on the product at the end stage of the movement when the clamping mechanism 330 moves vertically relative to the product. On the other hand, it can also ensure that the overall movement speed of the clamping mechanism 330 will not decrease too much due to considering reducing the impact on the product, thus ensuring the operation efficiency of the handling module 300.

[0054] Specifically, the buffer mounting plate 334 is mounted on the lower surface of the first cylinder 331 and is connected to the non-power-output area of the lower surface of the first cylinder 331. The second buffer 333 is also vertically mounted, and a hydraulic buffer can be selected for the second buffer 333. The piston rod of the second buffer 333 faces downward so as to buffer the relative movement between the two in time when contacting the product.

[0055] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the first conveying module in the product exchange device provided in the first embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 7 Schematic structural diagram of the first conveying module in the product exchange device provided in the first embodiment of the present utility model when observed from another direction; as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, optionally, the first conveying module 100 includes a first conveying mechanism 110 and a first blocking assembly 130. The first conveying mechanism 110 is used to convey the product along the first direction. The first blocking assembly 130 is located at one end of the first conveying mechanism 110 in the opposite direction of the first direction. The first blocking assembly 130 can extend and be higher than the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 110.

[0056] By providing the first conveying module 100 and the first blocking assembly 130, when it is necessary to stop conveying the product downstream, the first blocking assembly 130 can be extended to block the conveyance of the product, thereby preventing the chaos of product conveyance.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 110 includes a first conveying motor 111. The first conveying motor 111 is connected to a first transmission assembly 113 through a first transmission component 112. Among them, the first transmission assembly 113 includes components such as a conveyor belt and conveyor belt pulleys, and the first transmission component 112 includes components such as a transmission belt and a transmission shaft. The first conveying motor 111 is mounted on the first conveying base 115 of the first conveying module 100. Of course, the first conveying mechanism 110 also includes multiple pairs of first sensors 114 provided on the first conveying base 115. The multiple pairs of first sensors 114 are used to detect the position of the product on the first transmission assembly 113.

[0058] In addition, the first conveying module 100 further includes a fourth conveying mechanism 120. The fourth conveying mechanism 120 includes a fourth conveying motor 121. The fourth conveying motor 121 is connected to a fourth conveying component 123 through a fourth transmission component 122. Among them, the fourth conveying component 123 includes components such as a conveyor belt and conveyor belt pulleys, while the fourth transmission component 122 includes components such as a transmission belt and a transmission shaft. The fourth conveying motor 121 is installed on a fourth conveying base 125 of the first conveying module 100. Of course, the fourth conveying mechanism 120 also includes multiple pairs of fourth sensors 124 provided on the fourth conveying base 125. The multiple pairs of fourth sensors 124 are used to detect the position of the product on the fourth conveying component 123. The conveying direction of the fourth conveying mechanism 120 is opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 110. The fourth conveying mechanism 120 is arranged below the first conveying mechanism 110.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first blocking component 130 includes a first blocking cylinder 131 fixedly installed on the first conveying base 115. The first blocking cylinder 131 extends vertically upward, and a piston rod of the first blocking cylinder 131 is further connected to a first blocking block 132.

[0060] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of the second conveying module in the product exchange device provided by the first embodiment of the present utility model; as Figure 8 shown, optionally, the second conveying module 200 includes a second conveying mechanism 210 and a second blocking component 220. The second conveying mechanism 210 is used to convey the product along a second direction. The second blocking component 220 is located at one end of the second conveying mechanism 210 in the reverse direction of the second direction. The second blocking component 220 can extend and be higher than the upper surface of the second conveying mechanism 210.

[0061] By providing the second conveying module 200 and the second blocking component 220, when it is necessary to stop conveying the product downstream, the second blocking component 220 can be extended to block the conveying of the product, thereby preventing the chaos of product conveying.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 210 includes a second conveying motor 211. The second conveying motor 211 is connected to a second conveying component 213 through a second transmission component 212. Among them, the second conveying component 213 includes components such as a conveyor belt and conveyor belt pulleys, while the second transmission component 212 includes components such as a transmission belt and a transmission shaft. The second conveying motor 211 is installed on a second conveying base 215 of the second conveying module 200. Of course, the second conveying mechanism 210 also includes multiple pairs of second sensors 214 provided on the second conveying base 215. The multiple pairs of second sensors 214 are used to detect the position of the product on the second conveying component 213.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second blocking assembly 220 includes a second blocking cylinder 221 fixedly installed on the second conveying base 215. The second blocking cylinder 221 extends vertically upward, and a second blocking block 222 is further connected to the piston rod of the second blocking cylinder 221.

[0064] Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of the temporary storage module in the product exchange device provided in the first embodiment of the present utility model. As Figure 9 shown, optionally, the product exchange device further includes a temporary storage module 400. The temporary storage module 400 has a third conveying mechanism 410. The third conveying mechanism 410 can convey products in the second direction, and the handling module 300 is configured to be able to place products on the temporary storage module 400.

[0065] By setting the temporary storage module 400 to receive the products placed by the handling module 300, products that cannot be recognized how to be transmitted to subsequent devices can be placed in the temporary storage module 400 by using the handling mechanism, so as to use the temporary storage module 400 to process some products that cannot be recognized how to be transmitted downstream to ensure the smooth operation of the production line.

[0066] Specifically, the third conveying mechanism 410 includes a third conveying motor 411. The third conveying motor 411 is connected to a third transmission assembly 413 through a third transmission component 412. Among them, the third transmission assembly 413 includes components such as a conveyor belt and conveyor belt pulleys, and the third transmission component 412 includes components such as a transmission belt and a transmission shaft. The third conveying motor 411 is installed on the third conveying base 415 of the third conveying module. Of course, the third conveying mechanism 410 further includes multiple pairs of third sensors 414 provided on the third conveying base 415. The multiple pairs of third sensors 414 are used to detect the position of the product on the third transmission assembly 413.

[0067] In addition, a material taking button 421 and a refeeding and loading button 422 are further provided on the fourth conveying base 125 to manually control placing products on the temporary storage module 400, or taking products out of the temporary storage module 400 and putting them back into the first conveying module 100 or the second conveying module 200.

[0068] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0069] Taking the example that the product exchange device distributes products on an upstream conveyor line to multiple downstream conveyor lines.

[0070] The product is transported to the first conveying module 100 by an upstream conveyor line (not shown). Before that, the first blocking assembly 130 remains in the extended state;

[0071] The control device determines the outflow path of the product; specifically, the control device can perform distribution according to the pre-stored product distribution principle. For example, the first, third, fifth, and seventh products are allocated to the conveyor line downstream of the first conveyor module 100, while the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth products are allocated to the conveyor line downstream of the second conveyor module 200; alternatively, the product is provided with an RFID chip, and the product is allocated to the conveyor line downstream of the first conveyor module 100 or the second conveyor module 200 according to the RFID information.

[0072] If it is allocated to the conveyor line downstream of the first conveyor module 100, the first blocking component 130 retracts, and the product on the first conveyor module 100 is conveyed to the conveyor line downstream thereof.

[0073] If it is allocated to the conveyor line downstream of the second conveyor module 200, the first blocking component 130 is kept in the extended state. The lifting and conveying mechanism 320 and the clamping mechanism 330 of the handling module 300 move above the first conveyor module 100. The lifting and conveying mechanism 320 drives the clamping mechanism 330 to descend, and the clamping components 332 of the clamping mechanism 330 approach to clamp the product. The lifting and conveying mechanism 320 ascends, and the horizontal conveying mechanism 310 moves so that the lifting and conveying mechanism 320 is located above the second conveyor module 200. The lifting and conveying mechanism 320 descends again to place the product on the second conveyor module 200. The clamping components 332 move relatively away to release the product, and the lifting and conveying mechanism 320 then lifts the clamping mechanism 330.

[0074] If the product is unqualified or cannot be identified for which downstream conveyor line to be transmitted, the handling module 300 takes the product from the first conveyor module 100 and places it in the temporary storage module 400. In this process, the specific operation of the handling module 300 is similar to taking the product from the first conveyor module 100 and placing it on the second conveyor module 200, which will not be elaborated here.

[0075] In summary, the product exchange device can realize automatic conveying and shunting of products, convey the products to the corresponding conveyor lines. Each product exchange device can save two labors per day, and its distribution accuracy is high, and there will be no distribution errors due to human fatigue. If the CT time of the product on the production equipment is 6 seconds, then the shunting capacity of the product exchange device can reach 600 pieces per hour.

[0076] Moreover, if manual shunting of products is adopted, a safety protection device needs to be added to the equipment. In this application, the above-mentioned handling module 300, first conveyor module 100, second conveyor module 200, and temporary storage module 400 can be arranged in a box 520 with a frame 510. Taking an ordinary mobile phone as an example of the product, the floor area of the equipment can be controlled within 300mm * 1400mm, greatly reducing the floor area.

[0077] In addition, the device can also be optionally provided with one or more second conveying modules 200 as needed, so as to realize functions such as splitting the products on one conveying line into two conveying lines (one-to-two), or one-to-three, one-to-four, as well as two-in-one, three-in-one, four-in-one, etc.
