Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of safety protection, and particularly relates to a scapegoat mechanism and a material transfer device applying the scapegoat mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce the possibility of equipment failure during shutdown such as maintenance, resulting in injury accidents to operators, a scapegoat mechanism is usually used in cooperation during maintenance to support and limit the lifting mechanism in the equipment, so as to form secondary mechanical protection.

[0003] However, when the scapegoat mechanism in the related art is used, the operator needs to place it under the lifting mechanism for use, and the area under the lifting mechanism belongs to a dangerous environment, which still makes the operator place himself in a dangerous environment, resulting in certain risks. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a scapegoat mechanism, aiming to improve the safety protection effect on operators.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the scapegoat mechanism proposed by the present application is applied to a material transfer device, the material transfer device includes a lifting mechanism, and the scapegoat mechanism is configured to support the lifting mechanism. The scapegoat mechanism includes:

[0006] An installation carrier; and

[0007] A support member, the support member is slidably disposed on the installation carrier along a first direction, and the support member has a support end;

[0008] Wherein, the support member has a working position relative to the sliding of the installation carrier. At the working position, the support end protrudes from one side of the installation carrier in the first direction, so as to be configured to abut and support the lifting mechanism in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

[0009] The scapegoat mechanism of the technical solution of the present application realizes that the support end can abut and support the lifting mechanism in the second direction (i.e., the up and down direction) by arranging the support member to be slidably disposed on the installation carrier along the first direction, and when sliding to the working position, the support end of the support member can protrude from one side of the installation carrier in the first direction. At this time, since the support member slides along the first direction to approach the lifting mechanism, the scapegoat mechanism can be installed on one side of the lifting mechanism in the first direction, so that the operator can also be in a safe environment on one side of the lifting mechanism in the first direction to drive the support member to move until the support end is located under the lifting mechanism for use. In this way, it is not necessary for the operator to place the scapegoat mechanism under the lifting structure for use and thus be in a dangerous environment under the lifting mechanism, thereby improving the safety protection effect of the scapegoat mechanism on the operator.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support member includes a main body rod and a handle. The main body rod is slidably disposed on the mounting carrier along a first direction, and the main body rod has a support end; the handle is connected to the main body rod. Thus, a holding position can be conveniently provided through the handle, improving the convenience of driving the support member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mounting carrier is provided with a mounting hole and a clearance groove communicating with the mounting hole. Both the mounting hole and the clearance groove extend along the first direction; the main body rod is slidably disposed in the mounting hole along the first direction, and a part of the handle extends out through the clearance groove. Thus, by slidingly mounting the main body rod through the mounting hole, the contact area between the mounting carrier and the main body rod can be increased, improving the stability of the main body rod sliding on the mounting carrier.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting carrier is further provided with a first limiting structure configured to limit the handle at the working position in the first direction. Thus, the support member at the working position can be limited and fixed in the first direction so that the support member can be stably located at the working position.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure is a first limiting groove provided on the mounting carrier. The first limiting groove communicates with the mounting hole and the clearance groove and is located on one side of the clearance groove in the direction intersecting the first direction; at the working position, the handle is received in the first limiting groove. Thus, the structure of the first limiting structure can be relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of its manufacturing and reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism. At the same time, it also makes the operations of limiting and unlocking the support member at the working position relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of using the scapegoat mechanism.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the support member slides relative to the mounting carrier, it also has a non-working position. The sliding direction of the support member sliding to the non-working position is opposite to the sliding direction of sliding to the working position; the mounting carrier is further provided with a second limiting structure configured to limit the handle at the non-working position in the first direction. Thus, the support member at the non-working position can be limited and fixed in the first direction so that the support member can be stably located at the non-working position.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second limiting structure is a second limiting groove provided on the mounting carrier. The second limiting groove communicates with the mounting hole and the clearance groove and is located on one side of the clearance groove in the direction intersecting the first direction; at the non-working position, the handle is received in the second limiting groove. Thus, the structure of the second limiting structure can be relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of its manufacturing and reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism. At the same time, it also makes the operations of limiting and unlocking the support member at the non-working position relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of using the scapegoat mechanism.

[0016] In some embodiments, the support member also has a non-operating position relative to the mounting carrier, and the sliding direction of the support member sliding to the non-operating position is opposite to the sliding direction of sliding to the operating position; at the non-operating position, the supporting end is received in the mounting hole. Thereby, the lifting mechanism and the scapegoat mechanism can be distributed more compactly, improving the convenience of installing and arranging the scapegoat mechanism on the body of the material transfer device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the handle extends along a direction intersecting the first direction. Thereby, the structure of the handle can be relatively simple, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism, so as to improve the convenience of installing and arranging it on the material transfer device. At the same time, it can also improve the convenience of manufacturing the scapegoat mechanism.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the main body rod is larger than that of the handle. Thereby, the overall strength of the main body rod can be improved, which is further beneficial to improving the stability of the main body rod in abutting and supporting the lifting mechanism.

[0019] In some embodiments, the scapegoat mechanism further includes a sensor, which is arranged on the mounting carrier and electrically connected to the material transfer device. The sensor is configured to detect whether the support member is in the operating position. Thereby, when the controller in the material transfer device detects through the sensor that the support member is in the operating position, it can control the material transfer device to stop and lock, which is beneficial to further improving the safety protection effect of the scapegoat mechanism on the operator.

[0020] In some embodiments, the support member includes a main body rod and a handle. The main body rod is slidably arranged on the mounting carrier along the first direction. The main body rod is provided with a supporting end, and the handle is connected to the main body rod. The sensor is configured to detect whether the handle is in the operating position. Thereby, the sensor can be correspondingly arranged outside the mounting carrier, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of installing and arranging the sensor.

[0021] In some embodiments, the sensor and the handle in the operating position are arranged in the first direction. Thereby, the sensor and the handle can be relatively aligned, and the change in the position of the handle in the first direction can be detected more sensitively. At the same time, it also enables the full utilization of the space of the mounting carrier in the first direction, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism.

[0022] In some embodiments, the mounting carrier is provided with a mounting plate. At the operating position, the mounting plate and the handle are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and the sensor passes through the mounting plate. Thereby, the contact area between the sensor and the mounting carrier can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the mounting stability of the sensor on the mounting plate. At the same time, it can also make the mounting structure of the sensor relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of installing the sensor on the mounting carrier.

[0023] In some embodiments, the sensor is a proximity sensor. Thus, mechanical wear and damage to the handle and the sensor can be avoided, and at the same time, the efficiency and accuracy of the sensor in detecting the position of the support member can be improved.

[0024] The present application also provides a material transfer device, including a body, a lifting mechanism, and a scapegoat mechanism as described above; the lifting mechanism includes a driving member and a loading platform, the driving member is disposed on the body, the loading platform is connected to the driving member, and the driving member is configured to drive the lifting mechanism to slide along a second direction; the scapegoat mechanism is disposed on the body, and the supporting end of the support member in the scapegoat mechanism abuts and supports the loading platform in the second direction. Thus, through the arrangement of the scapegoat mechanism, the safety protection effect on the operator can be improved.

[0025] In some embodiments, the number of scapegoat mechanisms is at least two, and at least two scapegoat mechanisms are both disposed on the body and are respectively located on both sides of the body in a first direction. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the scapegoat mechanism in abutting and supporting the lifting mechanism.

[0026] In some embodiments, the mounting carrier in the scapegoat mechanism and the body are integrally structured; or, the mounting carrier in the scapegoat mechanism and the body are connected by screw connectors. Thus, through the integral structure, the body can be directly utilized, thereby simplifying the number of components; while the mounting carrier in the scapegoat mechanism and the body are connected by screw connectors, the stability and convenience of installing the scapegoat mechanism can be improved.

[0033] The realization of the purpose of this application, functional features and advantages will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0036] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0037] In addition, the descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in this application are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text is that it includes three parallel scenarios. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scenario A, or scenario B, or the scenario where both A and B are satisfied. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0038] In order to reduce the possibility that the equipment fails during maintenance and other shutdown states, resulting in injury accidents to operators, a scapegoat mechanism is usually used in cooperation during maintenance to support and limit the lifting mechanism in the equipment, so as to form secondary mechanical protection.

[0039] However, the scapegoat mechanism in the related art usually has a structural form of a support column. At this time, the operator needs to place the support column under the lifting mechanism for use. And the area under the lifting mechanism belongs to a dangerous environment, which also makes the operator still place himself in the dangerous environment, resulting in certain risks.

[0040] Therefore, based on the above considerations, in order to solve the technical problem that the scapegoat mechanism in the related art still requires the operator to operate it under the lifting mechanism, resulting in certain risks, this application proposes a new type of scapegoat mechanism. The scapegoat mechanism realizes that it can abut and support the lifting mechanism in the second direction (i.e., the up and down direction) by setting the support member to slide along the first direction and protrude from one side of the mounting carrier in the first direction. Furthermore, the scapegoat mechanism can be installed on one side of the lifting mechanism in the first direction, so that the operator can move the support member to the position where the support end is under the lifting mechanism for use in a safe environment, rather than operating the scapegoat mechanism in the dangerous environment under the lifting mechanism, thereby improving the safety protection effect of the scapegoat mechanism on the operator.

[0041] In addition, it should also be noted that the scapegoat mechanism proposed in this application can be applied to a material transfer device, which can feed a battery or other objects to the required position through a lifting mechanism. Of course, the scapegoat mechanism proposed in this application can also be applied to a testing device, which can lift a battery or other objects through a lifting mechanism to cooperate with a testing machine for testing. Therefore, this application does not limit the type of equipment to which the scapegoat mechanism is applied, as long as it is an equipment including a lifting mechanism with a driving member and a loading platform.

[0042] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments take the equipment type applied by a scapegoat mechanism in an embodiment of the present application as a material transfer device as an example for illustration.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the material transfer device 1000 may include a body 10, a lifting mechanism 30, and a scapegoat mechanism 50. The body 10 can provide an installation position for installing the lifting mechanism 30. Among them, the body 10 may be a housing structure formed by enclosing a plurality of plates, or a frame structure formed by enclosing a plurality of columns. The present application does not limit the structural form and shape of the body 10. The lifting mechanism 30 may include a driving member 31 and a load platform 33 connected to the driving member 31. The driving member 31 may be a cylinder, or a combination of a motor, a reel, and a rope. The present application does not limit the structural type of the driving member 31, as long as it can be used to provide power to drive the load platform 33 to slide in the up and down direction. The load platform 33 can be used to provide a placement position for placing a battery or other objects, so that when the carrier platform rises, the battery or other objects can be lifted and conveyed from below to above. The scapegoat mechanism 50 can be arranged on the side wall of the body 10 and partially extend below the load platform 33, or be inserted into the insertion hole of the load platform 33, and can achieve abutting and supporting the load platform 33 when the material transfer device 1000 is in a stopped state, so as to achieve a secondary mechanical protection effect.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present application, the number of the scapegoat mechanisms 50 may be at least two, and at least two scapegoat mechanisms 50 may be respectively located on both sides of the body 10 in a first direction. The first direction may be a horizontal direction perpendicular to the up and down direction, so as to achieve abutting and supporting the lifting mechanism 30 on both opposite sides of the lifting mechanism 30, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the scapegoat mechanism 50 abutting and supporting the lifting mechanism 30, so as to further improve the safety protection effect on the operator.

[0045] Further, at least two scapegoat mechanisms 50 arranged in the up and down direction may be provided on each side of the body 10 in the first direction, so as to selectively use the corresponding scapegoat mechanism 50 according to the height to which the lifting mechanism 30 rises.

[0046] Next, the structure of the scapegoat mechanism 50 proposed in the present application will be explained by way of embodiments:

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the scapegoat mechanism 50 includes a mounting carrier 51 and a support member 53. The support member 53 is slidably disposed on the mounting carrier 51 along a first direction, and the support member 53 has a support end 5311. Among them, the support member 53 slides relative to the mounting carrier 51 to have a working position. In the working position, the support end 5311 protrudes from one side of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, so as to be configured to abut and support the lifting mechanism 30 in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

[0048] The mounting carrier 51 can be used to provide a mounting position for mounting the support member 53. Among them, the mounting carrier 51 can be integrally formed with the body 10 in the material transfer device 1000. That is to say, the mounting carrier 51 can be directly formed by a part of the body 10. Of course, the mounting carrier 51 can also be an object additionally provided independently of the body 10. At this time, the mounting carrier 51 can be mounted on the outer side wall of the body 10, or a part can be directly embedded in the outer side wall of the body 10. When the mounting carrier 51 is mounted on the outer side wall of the body 10, an opening for the support member 53 to pass through can be provided on the side wall of the body 10. In addition, the connection between the mounting carrier 51 and the body 10 can be achieved through a screwing member. Among them, the screwing member can be a screw, and the connection is realized by passing through a part of the mounting carrier 51 and extending into the body 10. Of course, the screwing member can also be a combination of a threaded post and a nut. The threaded post can protrude from the mounting carrier 51, and the connection is realized by sleeving a nut after passing through a part of the mounting carrier 51. Therefore, the connection between the mounting carrier 51 and the body 10 through the screwing member, in other words, a threaded connection, can improve the stability and convenience of the installation of the scapegoat mechanism 50 on the body 10 at this time. Of course, the connection between the mounting carrier 51 and the body 10 can also be achieved through snap connection, or magnetic attraction connection. The present application does not limit the connection method between the mounting carrier 51 and the body 10. In addition, the mounting carrier 51 can be a block structure or a column structure. The present application does not limit the structural type and shape of the mounting carrier 51 either.

[0049] The support member 53 can be slidably mounted on the mounting carrier 51 along the first direction, that is, a horizontal direction as introduced above, so that when it slides to the working position, its support end 5311 can protrude from one side of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, and the lifting mechanism 30 can be abutted and supported along the second direction, that is, the up and down direction, through the support end 5311. Among them, the working position means that a part of the support member 53 moves to be located below the lifting mechanism 30 or is inserted into the lifting mechanism 30, so that the support member 53 can support the lifting mechanism 30 in the position where the support work is carried out. In addition, the support member 53 can be slidably mounted by being inserted into the mounting hole 511 of the mounting carrier 51 as introduced below. Of course, a chute can also be provided on the mounting carrier 51, and the support member 53 is embedded in the chute to achieve the sliding mounting. In addition, the support member 53 can be a structural form including a support rod and a handle 533 as introduced below. Of course, it can also only include a support rod. In addition, when the support member 53 slides relative to the mounting carrier 51, there is also a non-working position, and the sliding direction of the support member 53 sliding to the non-working position is opposite to the sliding direction of sliding to the working position. For example: the support member 53 can slide to the left to the working position so that the support end 5311 of the support member 53 can abut and support the lifting mechanism 30; then the support member 53 can slide to the right to the non-working position for limiting, so that the support end 5311 of the support member 53 can be separated from the lifting mechanism 30. Among them, the non-working position means that the support member 53 retracts along the direction away from the lifting mechanism 30 so that it can no longer support the lifting mechanism 30 in the position where the support work is carried out. At this time, in the non-working position, the support end 5311 can partially protrude from one side of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, or may not protrude from one side of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction.

[0050] In the scapegoat mechanism 50 of the technical solution of the present application, by arranging the support member 53 to be slidably disposed on the mounting carrier 51 along the first direction, and when sliding to the working position, the support end 5311 of the support member 53 can protrude from one side of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, it is further realized that the support end 5311 can abut and support the lifting mechanism 30 in the second direction (that is, the up and down direction). At this time, since the support member 53 slides close to the lifting mechanism 30 along the first direction, the scapegoat mechanism 50 can be installed on one side of the lifting mechanism 30 in the first direction, so that the operator can also be in a safe environment on one side of the lifting mechanism 30 in the first direction to drive the support member 53 to move to the position where the support end 5311 is located below the lifting mechanism 30 for use. In this way, it is not necessary for the operator to place the scapegoat mechanism 50 below the lifting structure for use, resulting in being in a dangerous environment below the lifting mechanism 30, thereby improving the safety protection effect of the scapegoat mechanism 50 on the operator.

[0051] Please refer toFigure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the support member 53 includes a main body rod 531 and a handle 533. The main body rod 531 is slidably disposed on the mounting carrier 51 along a first direction, and the main body rod 531 has a support end 5311; the handle 533 is connected to the main body rod 531.

[0052] The main body rod 531 can be arranged to extend along the first direction, and a support end 5311 is formed at one end in the first direction. Among them, the cross-section of the support rod can be circular or rectangular, etc., and the present application does not limit the shape of the support rod. The handle 533 can be used to provide a gripping position for the operator. Among them, the handle 533 can be a rod structure extending along a direction intersecting the first direction as introduced below, so that the handle 533 and the main body rod 531 can form a T-shaped structure or an L-shaped structure. Of course, the handle 533 can also be a plate structure, or a rib structure that encloses a gripping space with the main body rod 531. The present application does not limit the structural type of the handle 533. In addition, the handle 533 and the main body rod 531 can be integrally arranged. Of course, they can also be separately arranged and then connected by screw connectors or snap connections, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, the support member 53 is arranged to include the main body rod 531 and the handle 533, so that a gripping position can be conveniently provided through the handle 533 for the operator to hold and apply force to drive the support member 53 to slide, improving the convenience of driving the support member 53.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the handle 533 extends along a direction intersecting the first direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the handle 533 is arranged as a linear rod structure, which can make the structure of the handle 533 relatively simple, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism 50, so as to improve the convenience of installing and arranging it on the material transfer device 1000. At the same time, it can also improve the convenience of processing and manufacturing the scapegoat mechanism 50. Among them, the cross-section of the handle 533 can be circular or square, etc., and the present application does not limit the shape of the handle 533.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional area of the main body rod 531 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the handle 533.

[0057] In this embodiment, setting the cross-sectional area of the main body rod 531 to be relatively large can improve the overall strength of the main body rod 531, and thus is beneficial to improving the stability of the main body rod 531 in abutting and supporting the lifting mechanism 30. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional areas of the main body rod 531 and the handle 533 can also be set to be the same.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the mounting carrier 51 is provided with a mounting hole 511 and a clearance groove 512 communicating with the mounting hole 511. Both the mounting hole 511 and the clearance groove 512 extend along the first direction; the main body rod 531 is slidably disposed in the mounting hole 511 along the first direction, and a part of the handle 533 extends out of the clearance groove 512.

[0059] The mounting hole 511 may only penetrate one side of the mounting carrier 51 close to the lifting mechanism 30 in the first direction, or may of course penetrate opposite sides of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction. Among them, the shape of the mounting hole 511 can be adaptively set according to the shape of the main body rod 531. For example, when the cross-section of the main body rod 531 is set to be circular, the mounting hole 511 can also be set to be circular. The clearance groove 512 can be used to avoid the sliding of the handle 533. Among them, the clearance groove 512 may not penetrate opposite sides of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, or may of course penetrate at least one of the opposite sides of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing the mounting hole 511 on the mounting carrier 51 to slidably mount the main body rod 531, the contact area between the mounting carrier 51 and the main body rod 531 can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the sliding stability of the main body rod 531 on the mounting carrier 51, so as to accurately and stably slide to the working position to abut and support the lifting mechanism 30.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the mounting carrier 51 is further provided with a first limiting structure 513, and the first limiting structure 513 is configured to limit the handle 533 in the first direction at the working position.

[0062] The first limiting structure 513 can limit and fix the support member 53 when the support member 53 slides to the working position, so that the support member 53 remains in the working position state. Among them, the first limiting structure 513 may be the first limiting groove 5131 introduced below, or may of course be a clamping member rotatably disposed on the mounting carrier 51. The clamping member can rotate so that its two clamping arms clamp the opposite sides of the handle 533 in the first direction, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the support member 53 at the working position. The present application does not limit the structural type of the first limiting structure 513.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first limiting structure 513 can limit and fix the support member 53 at the working position in the first direction, so that the support member 53 can be stably located at the working position, realize stable abutting support for the lifting mechanism 30, and improve the safety protection effect on the operator.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the first limiting structure 513 is a first limiting groove 5131 provided on the mounting carrier 51. The first limiting groove 5131 communicates with the mounting hole 511 and the clearance groove 512 and is located on one side of the clearance groove 512 in the direction intersecting the first direction; in the working position, the handle 533 is received in the first limiting groove 5131.

[0065] The first direction can be said to be the length direction of the clearance groove 512. Therefore, one side of the clearance groove 512 in the direction intersecting the first direction can be said to be one side in the width direction of the clearance groove 512.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing the first limiting groove 5131 on one side in the width direction of the clearance groove 512 to form the first limiting structure 513, the structure of the first limiting structure 513 can be relatively simple, which is conducive to improving the convenience of its processing and manufacturing and reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism 50. At the same time, it also makes the operations of limiting and unlocking the support member 53 in the working position relatively simple, which is conducive to improving the convenience of using the scapegoat mechanism 50.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting carrier 51 is further provided with a second limiting structure 514, and the second limiting structure 514 is configured to limit the handle 533 in the first direction when it is in the non-working position.

[0068] The second limiting structure 514 can limit and fix the support member 53 when the support member 53 slides to the non-working position, so that the support member 53 remains in the non-working position. Among them, the second limiting structure 514 can be the second limiting groove 5141 introduced below. Of course, it can also be a clamping member rotatably provided on the mounting carrier 51. The clamping member can rotate to clamp the opposite sides of the handle 533 in the first direction, so as to realize the limiting and fixing of the support member 53 in the non-working position. The present application does not limit the structural type of the second limiting structure 514.

[0069] In this embodiment, the second limiting structure 514 can limit and fix the support member 53 in the non-working position in the first direction, so that the support member 53 can be stably located in the non-working position, reducing the possibility of hindering the normal lifting operation of the lifting mechanism 30 in the second direction when it slides to the working position.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the second limiting structure 514 is a second limiting groove 5141 provided on the mounting carrier 51. The second limiting groove 5141 communicates with the mounting hole 511 and the clearance groove 512, and is located on one side in the direction where the clearance groove 512 intersects the first direction; in the non-working position, the handle 533 is received in the second limiting groove 5141.

[0071] When the first limiting groove 5131 as introduced above is provided on the mounting carrier 51, the second limiting groove 5141 and the first limiting groove 5131 can be arranged along the first direction, and the second limiting groove 5141 is closer to the lifting mechanism 30 than the first limiting groove 5131.

[0072] In this embodiment, by providing the second limiting groove 5141 on one side in the width direction of the clearance groove 512 to form the second limiting structure 514, the structure of the second limiting structure 514 can be relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of its processing and manufacturing and reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism 50. At the same time, it also makes the operations of limiting and unlocking the support member 53 in the non-working position relatively simple, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of using the scapegoat mechanism 50.

[0073] , in an embodiment of the present application, in the non-working position, the supporting end 5311 is received in the mounting hole 511.

[0074] In this embodiment, in the non-working position, the supporting end 5311 of the support member 53 is completely retracted into the mounting hole 511, so that the lifting mechanism 30 and the scapegoat mechanism 50 can be distributed more compactly, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of installing and arranging the scapegoat mechanism 50 on the body 10 of the material transfer device 1000.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the scapegoat mechanism 50 further includes a sensor 55. The sensor 55 is provided on the mounting carrier 51 and is electrically connected to the material transfer device 1000. The sensor 55 is configured to detect whether the support member 53 is in the working position.

[0076] The sensor 55 can be used to detect the position state of the support member 53. For example, when the support member 53 slides to the working position, the signal transmitted by the sensor 55 to the controller in the material transfer device 1000 is A; when the support member 53 slides to the non-working position, the signal transmitted by the sensor 55 to the controller in the material transfer device 1000 is B; thus, the controller in the material transfer device 1000 can determine the position state of the support member 53 according to the different signals transmitted by the sensor 55. Among them, the sensor 55 can be a proximity sensor as introduced below, and of course can also be a contact sensor such as a touch switch or a pressure sensor. The present application does not limit the structural type of the sensor 55, as long as it can detect whether the support member 53 is in the working position or the non-working position. In addition, when the support member 53 includes the main body rod 531 and the handle 533 as introduced above, the sensor 55 can detect the position of the main body rod 531 or the position of the handle 533.

[0077] In this embodiment, by setting the sensor 55 to detect the position state of the support member 53 and electrically connecting it to the controller in the material transfer device 1000, when the controller in the material transfer device 1000 detects through the sensor 55 that the support member 53 is in the working position, it can control the material transfer device 1000 to stop and lock, so as to avoid accidental startup of the material transfer device 1000, and realize that only when it is detected that the support member 53 is in the non-working position, the operator can control the material transfer device 1000 to start, which is beneficial to further improve the safety protection effect of the scapegoat mechanism 50 on the operator.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the sensor 55 is configured to detect whether the handle 533 is in the working position.

[0079] In this embodiment, the sensor 55 is set to detect the position of the handle 533, and the handle 533 is exposed outside the mounting carrier 51, so that the sensor 55 can be correspondingly arranged outside the mounting carrier 51, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of installing and arranging the sensor 55.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the sensor 55 and the handle 533 in the working position are arranged in the first direction.

[0081] In this embodiment, arranging the sensor 55 and the handle 533 at the working position and the non - working position along the first direction can make the sensor 55 and the handle 533 more aligned, enabling more sensitive detection of the change in the position of the handle 533 in the first direction. At the same time, it also enables full utilization of the space of the mounting carrier 51 in the first direction, which is conducive to reducing the overall volume of the scapegoat mechanism 50. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the sensor 55 can also be arranged on one side of the handle 533 at the non - working position in the direction intersecting the first direction. This application does not limit the setting position of the sensor 55.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the mounting carrier 51 is provided with a mounting plate 515. At the working position, the mounting plate 515 and the handle 533 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and the sensor 55 is passed through the mounting plate 515.

[0083] In this embodiment, passing the sensor 55 through the mounting plate 515 can increase the contact area between the sensor 55 and the mounting carrier 51, which is conducive to improving the installation stability of the sensor 55 on the mounting plate 515. At the same time, opening a hole in the mounting plate 515 for installing the sensor 55 can also make the installation structure of the sensor 55 relatively simple, which is conducive to improving the convenience of installing the sensor 55 on the mounting carrier 51. Among them, the mounting carrier 51 has opposite first and second sides in the first direction. At the working position, the protruding end 5311 of the support end 5311 protrudes from the first side of the mounting carrier 51. The mounting plate 515 can be arranged on the second side of the mounting carrier 51 or on the first side of the mounting carrier 51.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the sensor 55 is a proximity sensor.

[0085] The proximity sensor, that is, the sensor 55 can detect the position of the support member 53 without contacting the support member 53. Among them, the proximity sensor can be an inductive proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a photoelectric proximity sensor, etc. This application does not limit the type of the proximity sensor either.

[0086] In this embodiment, setting the sensor 55 as a proximity sensor enables the sensor 55 and the support member 53 to work without contact, thereby avoiding mechanical wear and damage to the handle 533 and the sensor 55. At the same time, the proximity sensor also has advantages such as fast response speed and high precision, which is conducive to improving the efficiency and accuracy of the sensor 55 in detecting the position of the support member 53.
