[0055] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model.

[0056] The present utility model provides an overhead suspension conveyor line.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 may include a driving line body 11, a shuttle line body 12 and a docking line body 13. Specifically, the driving line body 11 extends along a horizontal first direction D1, and the driving line bodies 11 are arranged in pairs. Adjacent driving line bodies 11 are spaced apart along a horizontal second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1. The shuttle line body 12 extends along the second direction D2, and the shuttle line body 12 is movably connected to adjacent driving line bodies 11 along the first direction D1 between a first position and a second position. The docking line body 13 extends along the second direction D2 and is arranged in pairs. Adjacent docking line bodies 13 are spaced apart along the second direction D2. The shuttle line body 12 at the first position is spaced apart from the docking line body 13 along the first direction D1, and the shuttle line body 12 at the second position corresponds to the docking line body 13 in position along the second direction D2.

[0058] According to the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 of the present utility model, the driving line body 11 and the docking line body 13 are vertically arranged, so that the shuttle line body 12 can quickly move and change direction to engage with the docking line body 13, thereby making the conversion of workstations more flexible, especially suitable for the goods distribution in a T-shaped site.

[0059] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the docking line body 13 may not be arranged in pairs, that is, along the second direction D2, the docking line body 13 is only arranged on one side of the shuttle line body 12. Along the first direction D1, the number of docking line bodies 13 may be at least two and are spaced apart from each other.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2, the shuttle line body 12 includes a transverse movement frame 121 and a ferry component 122. Specifically, the transverse movement frame 121 extends along the second direction D2 and is located below the driving line body 11. The transverse movement frame 121 is movably connected to the driving line body 11 along the first direction D1. In other words, along the vertical direction DH, the transverse movement frame 121 does not protrude upward beyond the driving line body 11. With such a setting, in actual application, the transverse movement frame 121 will not affect the installation of the driving line body 11. Or rather, when laying the overhead suspension conveyor line 1, the elevation of the line body is only determined by the driving line body 11, greatly improving the construction convenience. At the same time, with a single reference, many construction errors are eliminated. The ferry component 122 is connected to the transverse movement frame 121 and protrudes downward beyond the transverse movement frame 121.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the docking line body 13 includes a docking line body 131 and a lapping member 132. The lapping member 132 is pivotally connected to the docking line body 131 between a third position and a fourth position around the first direction D1. The lapping member 132 located at the third position is separated from the ferry component 122; when the shuttle line body 12 is located at the second position, the lapping member 132 located at the fourth position is connected to the ferry component 122.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 further includes a walking trolley 14. The ferry component 122 includes a first line body frame 122a and a first driving member. The first driving member is connected to the first line body frame 122a. The first driving member is configured to be able to drive the walking trolley 14 to move along the second direction D2. Correspondingly, the docking line body 13 includes a second line body frame 131a and a second driving member 131b. The second line body frame 131a extends along the second direction D2. The second driving member 131b is connected to the second line body frame 131a. The second driving member 131b is configured to be able to drive the walking trolley 14 to move along the second direction D2. It should be noted that those skilled in the art know that the first driving member and the second driving member (i.e., the driving member) both include a friction rod 131c, a motor, and a transmission belt. The friction rod 131c extends along the second direction D2 and is rotatably connected to the line body frame around the second direction D2. The motor is connected to the line body frame. The motor has a driving end. The transmission belt is connected to the driving end and the friction rod 131c so that the motor drives the friction rod 131c to rotate.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 further includes a lifting hanger 15. The lifting hanger 15 is connected to the traveling trolley 14 and is located below the traveling trolley 14. The lifting hanger 15 has a switchable energized state and de-energized state. Specifically, the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 further includes a sliding contact member 18. The sliding contact member 18 is electrically connected to the lifting hanger 15. The sliding contact member 18 includes a fixed plate 181 and a sliding plate 182. The fixed plate 181 is connected to the docking line body 13, and the sliding plate 182 is connected to the traveling trolley and can move along the first direction D2 following the traveling trolley 14. It should be noted that when the sliding plate 182 is separated from the fixed plate 181, the lifting hanger 15 is in the de-energized state. When the sliding plate 182 is in contact with the fixed plate 181, the lifting hanger 15 is in the energized state to complete stretching and contraction. Figure 4 Among them, the fixed plate 181 has a swinging portion 181a. The swinging portion 181a is pivotally connected to the fixed plate body about the first direction D1. After the sliding plate 182 contacts the swinging portion 181a, the swinging portion 181a can pivot upward and contact the top of the sliding plate 182, so that the lifting hanger 15 is in the energized state. After the sliding plate 182 is separated from the swinging portion 181a, the swinging portion 181a can pivot to the initial position under its own gravity. At this time, the lifting hanger 15 is in the de-energized state. Using the sliding contact member 18 to control the energization and de-energization of the lifting hanger 15 can improve the safety and reliability of control, minimize the contact between personnel and the lifting hanger 15 as much as possible, and the sliding contact control of energization and de-energization is convenient for flexible layout and remote control, improving the intelligence level of the overhead suspension conveyor line 1.

[0064] Return to refer Figure 3 , in order to carry goods, the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 further includes a carrying member 16. The carrying member 16 is connected to the lifting hanger 15 and is located below the lifting hanger 15. For example, the carrying member 16 includes a hoisting chain 161 and a carrying plate 162. Both ends of the hoisting chain 161 are respectively connected to the lifting hanger 15 and the carrying plate 162.

[0065] According to the overhead suspension conveyor line 1 of the present invention, by using the shuttle line body 12 in cooperation with the docking line body 13, the layout and structure of the line track can be simplified. The shuttle line body 12 can quickly traverse to dock with different docking line bodies 13, so that the traveling trolley 14 can be conveniently switched between different workstations in the storage area, improving the flexibility of production; at the same time, due to the simplification of the line structure, the failure rate is also greatly reduced, which is beneficial to the improvement of production efficiency, thereby reducing the production cost.
