Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of vehicle workpiece transmission, and in particular, to a circulating conveying device. Background Art

[0002] In the production and assembly line of vehicles, conveying devices are usually used to transfer workpieces from one station to another. Among them, the workpieces can be loaded in containers, and then the containers move on the workbench to transfer the workpieces. Therefore, when the container is conveyed to one of the stations, the staff at the corresponding station can remove the workpieces in the container, so as to reduce the time and effort caused by the staff's round-trip between the station and the workpiece storage location.

[0003] In the related art, the container can move in one direction on the workbench. The container is placed at one end of the workbench and slides on the workbench. The container can pass through multiple stations so that the staff at the corresponding stations can take the workpieces. When the container moves to the last station, the staff can remove the container. In this way, the containers are stacked after being removed at the last station. When the stack reaches a certain number or height, the staff will carry the containers to the starting position.

[0004] However, the stacking of containers occupies space and is prone to tipping over. There is still a problem of time-consuming and laborious for the staff to carry the stacked containers to the starting position. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a circulating conveying device, which can solve the problem of time-consuming and laborious for the staff during the handling process caused by the stacking of containers.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is realized as follows:

[0007] The embodiments of the present application provide a circulating conveying device, which includes:

[0008] A container;

[0009] A support main body, the support main body is provided with a transfer table, the transfer table can supply the container to move in a first direction, and the transfer table is provided with a first track and a second track arranged side by side in a second direction, and the moving directions of the container on the first track and the second track are opposite;

[0010] A lifting bracket, the lifting bracket is arranged on the support main body, the lifting bracket can supply the container to move in the second direction, the lifting bracket is provided with a third track and a fourth track arranged side by side in the first direction, and the moving directions of the container on the third track and the fourth track are opposite;

[0011] The lifting bracket moves up and down relative to the transfer table in the vertical direction, and the container switches its moving direction through the lifting bracket to realize the circular movement of the container on the supporting body.

[0012] The circulating conveying device provided by the embodiment of the present application can switch the moving track of the container through the lifting of the lifting bracket, so as to realize the switching of the moving direction of the container, and thus the circular movement of the container can be realized.

[0013] The movement process of the container can be as follows.

[0014] The container starts to move on the first track from the starting position. When the container moves to the area where the third track is provided on the lifting bracket, the container can be switched from the first track to the third track by the upward or downward movement of the lifting bracket, so that the container can move on the third track of the lifting bracket. At this time, the first switching of the moving direction of the container is realized. When the container moves on the third track to the area corresponding to the second track, the container can be switched from the third track to the second track by the upward or downward movement of the lifting bracket, so that the container can move on the second track. At this time, the second switching of the moving direction of the container is realized. Since the moving directions of the container on the first track and the second track are opposite, the movement of the container on the second track can make the container gradually approach the starting position.

[0015] When the container moves on the second track to the area where the fourth track is provided on the lifting bracket, the container can be switched from the second track to the fourth track by the upward or downward movement of the lifting bracket, so that the container can move on the fourth track. At this time, the third switching of the moving direction of the container is realized. Since the moving directions of the container on the third track and the fourth track are opposite, the movement of the container on the fourth track can make the container gradually approach the starting position. Specifically, when the container moves on the fourth track to the area corresponding to the first track, the lifting bracket can switch the container back to the first track, so as to move the container to the starting position and realize the circular movement of the container on the supporting body.

[0016] Therefore, the circulating conveying device provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize the circular movement of the container. Thus, on the one hand, the staff does not need to stack the containers, which can reduce the possibility of occupying space and easy tipping caused by stacking. On the other hand, the staff also does not need to carry the stacked containers to the starting position, which can achieve the effect of saving time and effort.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including such element.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0045] The embodiments of the present application provide a cyclic conveying device, which can convey workpieces during the vehicle production and assembly process. The workpieces can be conveyed from one station to another by the cyclic conveying device to facilitate the staff at the corresponding station to pick up and assemble.

[0046] Among them, the workpiece can be a component of a vehicle. The vehicle can refer to large automobiles, small automobiles, special-purpose automobiles, etc. Exemplarily, classified by vehicle type, the vehicle to which the workpiece is applied in this application can be a sedan model, an off-road model, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) model, or other models. For a vehicle, generally, wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source are provided. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.

[0047] Therefore, the workpieces transported by the circulating conveying device of this application can be body components, frame components, components of the transmission system, etc. There is no limitation in this application.

[0048] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the type of the power source of the vehicle to which the workpiece is applied is not limited. The circulating conveying device of this application can transport components of different power sources. Exemplarily, for a fuel vehicle, the power source can refer to fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines; the workpiece in this application can be a component of any of the fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines. For an electric vehicle, the power source can refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source can refer to an engine or an electric motor; the workpiece in this application can be a component in the electric motor. For a vehicle powered in other ways, the power source can refer to a device that generates power.

[0049] In the workpiece conveying device in the related art, the container can move in one direction on the workbench. The container is placed at one end of the workbench and slides on the workbench. The container can pass through multiple workstations so that the staff at the corresponding workstations can pick up the workpieces. When the container moves to the last workstation, the staff can remove the container. Thus, it goes round and round. After the container is removed at the last workstation, it is stacked. When stacked to a certain number or height, the staff transports the container to the starting position.

[0050] However, the stacking of containers takes up space and is prone to tipping over. There is still a problem of time-consuming and laborious for the staff to transport the stacked containers to the starting position.

[0051] Based on the above technical problems, in the embodiment of the present application, for the circulating conveying device, the container can move along the first direction on the transfer table, and the container can move along the second direction through the lifting bracket. Therefore, by switching the container among the first track, the second track, the third track, and the fourth track, the movement direction of the container can be changed to realize the circular movement of the container on the support body. After the container moves from the starting position and passes through multiple workstations, it can return to the starting position. Therefore, the staff does not need to stack the containers, which can reduce the possibility of occupying space and easy tipping caused by stacking. And the staff also does not need to carry the stacked containers to the starting position, which can achieve the effect of saving time and effort.

[0052] The circulating conveying device provided by the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with specific embodiments.

[0053] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a circulating conveying device 100, including a container 110, a support body 120, and a lifting bracket 130.

[0054] The support body 120 is provided with a transfer table 121. The transfer table 121 allows the container 110 to move along the first direction X. The transfer table 121 is provided with a first track 1211 and a second track 1212 arranged side by side along the second direction Y. Among them, the movement directions of the container 110 on the first track 1211 and the second track 1212 are opposite.

[0055] The lifting bracket 130 is arranged on the support body 120. The lifting bracket 130 allows the container 110 to move along the second direction Y. The lifting bracket 130 is provided with a third track 1213 and a fourth track 1214 arranged side by side along the first direction X. Among them, the movement directions of the container 110 on the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 are opposite.

[0056] The lifting bracket 130 can lift and lower relative to the transfer table 121 along the vertical direction Z. The container 110 switches the movement direction through the lifting bracket 130 to realize the circular movement of the container 110 on the support body 120.

[0057] It should be noted that the circular movement of the container 110 on the support body 120 means that the starting position and the ending position of the container 110 can be the same position. For example, the container 110 can return to the starting position after moving from the starting position and passing through multiple workstations.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, by lifting and lowering the lifting bracket 130, the movement track of the container 110 can be switched to realize the switching of the movement direction of the container 110, so as to realize the circular movement of the container 110.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the moving direction of the container 110 on the first track 1211 is opposite to that on the second track 1212, and the moving direction of the container 110 on the third track 1213 is opposite to that on the fourth track 1214. Exemplarily, the movement process of the container 110 can be as follows.

[0060] The container 110 starts to move on the first track 1211 from the starting position. When the container 110 moves to the area where the third track 1213 is provided on the lifting bracket 130, the container 110 can be switched from the first track 1211 to the third track 1213 by raising or lowering the lifting bracket 130, so that the container 110 can move on the third track 1213 of the lifting bracket 130. At this time, the first switching of the moving direction of the container 110 is realized. When the container 110 moves on the third track 1213 to the area corresponding to the second track 1212, the container 110 can be switched from the third track 1213 to the second track 1212 by raising or lowering the lifting bracket 130, so that the container 110 can move on the second track 1212. At this time, the second switching of the moving direction of the container 110 is realized. Since the moving directions of the container 110 on the first track 1211 and the second track 1212 are opposite, the movement of the container 110 on the second track 1212 can make the container 110 gradually approach the starting position.

[0061] When the container 110 moves on the second track 1212 to the area where the fourth track 1214 is provided on the lifting bracket 130, the container 110 can be switched from the second track 1212 to the fourth track 1214 by raising or lowering the lifting bracket 130, so that the container 110 can move on the fourth track 1214. At this time, the third switching of the moving direction of the container 110 is realized. Since the moving directions of the container 110 on the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 are opposite, the movement of the container 110 on the fourth track 1214 can make the container 110 gradually approach the starting position. Specifically, when the container 110 moves on the fourth track 1214 to the area corresponding to the first track 1211, the lifting bracket 130 can switch the container 110 back from the fourth track 1214 to the first track 1211, thereby moving the container 110 to the starting position and realizing the circular movement of the container 110 on the support body 120.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the first track 1211, the second track 1212, the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 can provide a circular and closed movement trajectory for the container 110.

[0063] Therefore, the circulating conveying device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize the circular movement of the container 110. Thus, on the one hand, the staff does not need to stack the containers 110, which can reduce the possibility of occupying space and being easily toppled due to stacking. On the other hand, the staff also does not need to transport the stacked containers 110 to the starting position, which can achieve the effect of saving time and effort.

[0064] In some examples, the circulating conveying device 100 of the embodiments of the present application can move the container 110 along the first direction X and the second direction Y. Therefore, the container 110 does not move continuously along a single specific direction, which can save the occupied space along a single direction. And, the container 110 can be circularly applied. Therefore, the number of containers 110 does not need to be set too many, so as to save the material cost of the containers 110. The staff can set the number of containers 110 according to the assembly process.

[0065] Exemplarily, when the number of containers 110 is multiple, the multiple containers 110 can successively start from the starting position. There can be a time difference when two adjacent containers 110 are placed on the transfer table 121 to avoid collision between two adjacent containers 110.

[0066] In some examples, a plurality of tracks parallel to the first track 1211 and the second track 1212 can also be provided on the transfer table 121, and a plurality of tracks parallel to the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 can also be provided on the lifting bracket 130 to meet the usage requirements that the workpiece can be transferred to more workstations.

[0067] Herein, the present application describes by taking that the transfer table 121 is provided with the first track 1211 and the second track 1212, and the lifting bracket 130 is provided with the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 as an example.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, along the first direction X, a lifting bracket 130 is provided at the end of the support body 120, and the lifting bracket 130 descends or ascends to have a first position and a second position.

[0069] When the lifting bracket 130 descends to the first position, the container 110 can slide along the first direction X on the first track 1211 or the second track 1212. When the container 110 is located on the lifting bracket 130 and the lifting bracket 130 ascends to the second position, the container 110 slides along the second direction Y on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, when the lifting bracket 130 descends to the first position, the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 of the lifting bracket 130 can be lower than the first track 1211 and the second track 1212, so that when the container 110 slides on the first track 1211 or the second track 1212, the lifting bracket 130 is not likely to hinder the movement of the container 110 along the first direction X. When the lifting bracket 130 ascends to the second position, the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 of the lifting bracket 130 can be higher than the first track 1211 and the second track 1212, so that when the container 110 slides on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214, the first track 1211 and the second track 1212 are not likely to hinder the movement of the container 110 along the second direction Y.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, a first traveling unit 111 may be provided on the container 110. A second traveling unit 1215 may be provided on the transfer table 121. The first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 are correspondingly arranged. The first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 are slidably connected, so that the container 110 is slidably connected to the transfer table 121 along the first direction X.

[0072] It should be noted that Figure 4 is the starting position for placing the container 110 on the bracket, and only a schematic diagram of some structural features for cooperating with the support main body 120 and the lifting main body is retained on the container 110.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, the slidable connection between the first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 can realize the slidable connection between the container 110 and the transfer table 121 along the first direction X. Among them, the second traveling unit 1215 can be provided on both the first track 1211 and the second track 1212 on the transfer table 121.

[0074] In some examples, one of the first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 can be a roller, and the other can have a plane slidably connected to the roller.

[0075] Exemplarily, the first traveling unit 111 can be a bar-shaped structure. The second traveling unit 1215 can be a roller. The first traveling unit 111 can have a smooth surface that cooperates with the roller.

[0076] In other examples, one of the first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 can be a chute, and the other can be a slider that cooperates with the chute. The structures of the first traveling unit 111 and the second traveling unit 1215 are not limited in the present application.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission platform 121 may be provided with a first position limiting guide 1216. Along the second direction Y, at least one side of the second walking unit 1215 may be provided with a first position limiting guide 1216 correspondingly.

[0078] The first limiting guide 1216 of the embodiment of the present application can have a limiting function. When the container 110 slides on the first track 1211 or the second track 1212, the first limiting guide 1216 can be used to reduce the possibility that the container 110 deviates along the second direction Y, causing the container 110 to be separated from the first track 1211 or the second track 1212.

[0079] In addition, the first position-limiting guide 1216 can also have a guiding function. For example, the first position-limiting guide 1216 can be a guide bearing. When the container 110 slides on the first track 1211 or the second track 1212, the first position-limiting guide 1216 can rotate around its own axis to improve the sliding smoothness of the first walking unit 111 and the second walking unit 1215 and reduce the movement resistance of the container 110.

[0080] In some examples, a group of first walking units 111 spaced and opposite to each other along the second direction Y may be provided on the container 110, and therefore, a group of second walking units 1215 may be provided on the first track 1211 and the second track 1212, respectively. The first position-limiting guide 1216 may be provided on the opposite sides of the group of second walking units 1215 on the first track 1211. Similarly, the first position-limiting guide 1216 may be provided on the opposite sides of the group of second walking units 1215 on the second track 1212.

[0081] Among them, the first limiting guide member 1216 can protrude from the upper surface of the second walking unit 1215, so that during the sliding cooperation between the first walking unit 111 and the second walking unit 1215 of the container 110, the first limiting guide member 1216 can prevent the first walking unit 111 from deviating along the second direction Y, thereby maintaining the stability of the container 110 sliding along the first direction X.

[0082] In some examples, there may be a plurality of first position limiting guide members 1216. The plurality of first position limiting guide members 1216 may be arranged along the first direction X at intervals.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the surface of the container 110 facing the support main body 120 is provided with a first limiting portion 112. A second limiting portion 1217 is provided on the support main body 120. The first limiting portion 112 and the second limiting portion 1217 are cooperatively connected to stop the container 110 when it slides along the first direction X to the end of the support main body 120.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, during the sliding process of the container 110 on the first track 1211 or the second track 1212, when the first limiting portion 112 is connected to the second limiting portion 1217, the container 110 can stop sliding to reduce the possibility that the container 110 continues to move and disengages from the first track 1211 or the second track 1212.

[0085] In some examples, the first limiting portion 112 can protrude from the surface of the container 110 facing the support main body 120. The second limiting portion 1217 can protrude from the upper surface of the support main body 120.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container 110 can be provided with a third traveling unit 113. The lifting bracket 130 can be provided with a fourth traveling unit 131. The third traveling unit 113 and the fourth traveling unit 131 are correspondingly arranged. The third traveling unit 113 and the fourth traveling unit 131 can be slidably connected so that the container 110 can be slidably connected to the lifting bracket 130 along the second direction Y.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, by slidably connecting the third traveling unit 113 and the fourth traveling unit 131, the sliding connection between the container 110 and the lifting bracket 130 along the second direction Y can be realized. Among them, the fourth traveling unit 131 can be provided on both the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214 on the lifting bracket 130.

[0088] In some examples, one of the third traveling unit 113 and the fourth traveling unit 131 can be a roller, and the other can have a plane slidably connected to the roller.

[0089] Exemplarily, the third traveling unit 113 can be a roller. The fourth traveling unit 131 can be a strip structure. The fourth traveling unit 131 can have a smooth surface that cooperates with the roller.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container 110 can be provided with a second limiting guide 114. Along the first direction X, at least one side of the third traveling unit 113 is correspondingly provided with the second limiting guide 114.

[0091] The second limiting guide 114 of the embodiment of the present application can have a limiting function. When the container 110 slides on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214, the second limiting guide 114 can be used to reduce the possibility that the container 110 deviates along the first direction X, causing the container 110 to be separated from the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214.

[0092] In addition, the second position-limiting guide 114 can also have a guiding function. For example, the second position-limiting guide 114 can be a guide bearing. When the container 110 slides on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214, the second position-limiting guide 114 can rotate around its own axis to improve the smoothness of the sliding process of the third walking unit 113 and the fourth walking unit 131, and reduce the movement resistance of the container 110.

[0093] In some examples, a group of third walking units 113 spaced and corresponding to each other along the first direction X may be provided on the container 110, and therefore, a group of fourth walking units 131 may be provided on the third track 1213 and the fourth track 1214, respectively. The second position limiting guide 114 may be provided on the surface of the container 110 facing the transfer platform 121. The second position limiting guide 114 may be provided on the opposite sides of a group of third walking units 113 on the container 110.

[0094] In some examples, there may be a plurality of second position limiting guide members 114 beside the third walking unit 113. The plurality of second position limiting guide members 114 may be arranged along the second direction Y at intervals.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting bracket 130 may be provided with third limiting portions 132 at both ends along the second direction Y. The third limiting portions 132 may be used to stop the container 110 when it slides along the second direction Y to the end of the lifting bracket 130 .

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the third limiting portion 132 can protrude from the surface of the fourth walking unit 131, so that when the container 110 slides through the third walking unit 113 and the fourth walking unit 131, when the container 110 is connected to the third limiting portion 132, the third limiting portion 132 can prevent the container 110 from continuing to slide, so as to reduce the possibility of the container 110 continuing to move and detaching from the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 5As shown, the lifting bracket 130 may include a connected driving member 133, a lifting rod 134, and a support bracket 135. The driving member 133 may drive the lifting rod 134 to rise or fall to drive the support bracket 135 to rise or fall. The fourth traveling unit 131 is disposed on the support bracket 135.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the staff can apply a driving force to the driving member 133 to drive the support bracket 135 to rise or fall through the lifting rod 134.

[0099] In some examples, the driving member 133 may be connected to the lifting rod 134 through a rotating shaft 136. When the staff drives the driving member 133 downward, the rotation of the lifting rod 134 and the driving member 133 around the rotating shaft 136 can cause the lifting rod 134 to move upward, thereby pushing the support bracket 135 upward, and further enabling the container 110 to move on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214. Similarly, when the staff drives the driving member 133 upward, the rotation of the lifting rod 134 and the driving member 133 around the rotating shaft 136 can cause the lifting rod 134 to move downward, thereby driving the support bracket 135 downward, and the container 110 can descend, and further the container 110 can be switched to the first track 1211 or the second track 1212.

[0100] In some examples, the lifting bracket 130 may include two support brackets 135 spaced apart and oppositely disposed along the first direction X. The two support brackets 135 may be respectively located at two ends of the container 110 along the first direction X to improve the stability of the container 110 during the sliding process.

[0101] In some instances, the circulating conveying device 100 includes two lifting brackets 130. The lifting brackets 130 can be controlled to rise or fall through their respective driving members 133. Along the second direction Y, the driving members 133 of the two lifting brackets 130 can be respectively located on both sides of the support body 120 to facilitate the staff on both sides of the support body 120 to control the rise or fall of the lifting brackets 130.

[0102] The lifting bracket 130 may further include a connecting rod 138. The connecting rod 138 can be used to connect the two support brackets 135. The end of the lifting rod 134 can push the middle area of the connecting rod 138 to drive the two support brackets 135 to rise or fall synchronously.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting bracket 130 may include a guide rod 137. The support body 120 may be provided with a guide hole 120a corresponding to the guide rod 137. The guide rod 137 is inserted through the guide hole 120a to enable the lifting bracket 130 to rise or fall along the vertical direction Z.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the guiding rod 137 to be connected in cooperation with the guiding hole 120a, it can be used to improve the stability of the lifting bracket 130 rising or falling along the vertical direction Z, and reduce the possibility that the lifting bracket 130 is deflected, which may affect the sliding stability of the container 110 on the third track 1213 or the fourth track 1214.

[0105] In some examples, the guiding rod 137 may be provided on the connecting rod 138. The number of the guiding rods 137 may match the number of the support brackets 135 to ensure that each support bracket 135 can slide along the vertical direction Z.

[0106] The serial numbers of the embodiments of the present application above are only for description and do not represent the advantages or disadvantages of the embodiments. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
