Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a hanging system, in particular to a hanging system with a cross-rail conveying device. Background Art

[0002] The garment hanging system is used to realize the preparation of garments from cut pieces to finished products. Its structure includes a loop rail. Along the direction of the loop rail, several workstations are provided. Work positions are formed at these workstation positions, and workbenches are placed at the work positions. The operator sits at the workbench to sew the fabric. The structure of the existing garment hanging system is becoming more and more complex to meet the requirements of complex processes or the simultaneous preparation of multiple styles of clothes. Correspondingly, the number of workstations in the hanging system is relatively large, and the loop rail can reach a relatively long length, occupying a large area. When making clothes, the hangers with fabric will circulate on the loop rail and wait for the appropriate time to enter the corresponding workstation. Since the overall length of the loop rail is relatively long, if the hangers travel on the loop rail for too long, they will become disordered. Often, the path between the hanger and the target workstation is relatively long, and the hanger needs to travel a long distance to reach the target workstation, which often causes waiting time for the operator at the target workstation, thus affecting work efficiency.

[0003] In order to reduce this waiting time, a garment hanging system hanger quick delivery device is disclosed in a Chinese patent document (Publication No.: CN209427557U), which solves the problem that the structure of the existing quick rail-changing device in the garment hanging system is relatively complex and inconvenient to set. The technical solution adopted: a garment hanging system hanger quick delivery device for conveying hangers between opposite sides of the loop rail. An opening is provided on one side of the loop rail, and a partition opening is provided on the other side. It is characterized in that a curved rail is provided under the loop rail, and the driving mechanism is arranged along the direction of the curved rail. A number of driving members are provided on the driving mechanism for driving the hangers on the curved rail from the inlet end to the outlet end under the drive of the driving mechanism. A descending mechanism is provided between the inlet end of the curved rail and the opening, and the descending mechanism is used to move the hangers on the loop rail down to the inlet end of the curved rail. A lifting mechanism is provided between the outlet end of the curved rail and the partition opening, and the lifting mechanism is used to lift the hangers on the curved rail from the outlet end of the curved rail to the loop rail.

[0004] This quick delivery device is arranged in the middle of the loop rail to realize the quick position change of the hangers at the middle position of the loop rail. The whole quick delivery device is arranged within the width range of the loop rail. To realize the stable operation of the quick delivery device, it can only be achieved when the loop rail is wide enough, which is not conducive to the compactness of the structure of the hanging system, and the hanging system needs to occupy a large space in the factory building. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Technical problems to be solved by the present utility model: Provide a cross-rail conveying suspension system, which has a compact structure, can occupy relatively small factory space, and is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate in the factory.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present utility model: A cross-rail conveying suspension system includes a ring rail. A flexible driving mechanism is arranged in parallel with the ring rail. A number of pushing members are provided on the driving mechanism, and the pushing members are used to push the carrier to move on the ring rail. A number of workstations are arranged along the direction of the ring rail. There is an annular installation space for installing the workstations outside the ring rail, and these workstations are arranged in this installation space. It is characterized in that a cross-rail rotary device for realizing cross-rail conveying of the carrier is provided at the middle position of the suspension system. The cross-rail rotary device extends into the said installation space, and the main body part of the cross-rail rotary device intersects with the said ring rail; One end of the cross-rail rotary device realizes the diversion of the carrier on one side of the ring rail, and the other end of the cross-rail rotary device realizes the confluence of the carrier onto the ring rail.

[0007] The cross-rail rotary device realizes the rapid conveying of the carrier between the relative two sides of the ring rail. The cross-rail rotary device can be arranged on the upper side of the ring rail to realize the conveying of the carrier on the upper side of the ring rail; The cross-rail rotary device can also be arranged on the lower side of the ring rail to realize the conveying of the carrier from the lower side of the ring rail. The cross-rail rotary device extends into the position of the said installation space, which is equivalent to increasing the lateral dimension of the cross-rail rotary device, and is beneficial to the smooth movement of the carrier on the cross-rail rotary device. The said diversion means that the carrier on the ring rail enters the cross-rail rotary device, and the said confluence means that the carrier on the cross-rail rotary device enters the ring rail.

[0008] Further, the cross-rail rotary device includes a rod-shaped slide rail. Curved connecting rails are respectively connected to both ends of the slide rail. The connecting rails extend into the said installation space. The inner ends of the connecting rails extend towards the ring rail. A transition structure is provided between the inner ends of the connecting rails and the ring rail, and the transition structure is for the carrier to move between the ring rail and the connecting rails. The slide rail is generally in a straight rod shape and is generally inclined. The carrier on the slide rail can slide from the high end to the low end on the slide rail under the action of gravity. It is also possible to arrange a driving mechanism in parallel on the slide rail, and the carrier is moved on the slide rail through the driving mechanism.

[0009] Further, the slide rail is of a straight rod type structure and is inclined, so that the carrier on the slide rail slides between the two ends of the slide rail under the action of gravity. This kind of slide rail setting can effectively simplify the structure and facilitate the rapid displacement of the carrier between the relative two sides of the ring rail.

[0010] Further, relative to the ring rail, the outer ends of both the workstation and the connecting rail are flush. This makes the integrity of the suspension system good and facilitates the setting of the cross-rail rotary device.

[0011] Furthermore, two sets of the cross-rail slewing devices are arranged at the middle position of the loop track, and the conveying directions of the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices for the vehicle are opposite. The two sets of cross-rail slewing devices can be arranged by setting the inclination directions of the two slide rails to be opposite and the setting directions of the inlet and outlet ends of the slide rails to be opposite, so as to better meet the actual requirements of rapid vehicle conveyance.

[0012] Furthermore, the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices are adjacent. This means that no other workstations are arranged between the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices, and a dedicated setting area is opened on the loop track to arrange the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices, thus facilitating the arrangement of the cross-rail slewing devices.

[0013] Furthermore, the slide rails are located on the lower side of the loop track, and the slide rails and the connecting rails are connected by a lifting structure. The connection between the connecting rails and the slide rails is realized through the lifting structure to realize the lifting of the vehicle position, which can well meet the actual working requirements. The lifting mechanism can be a lifting arm combined with an inclined rail structure or a lifting chain.

[0014] Furthermore, a descending section is formed on one side of the cross-rail slewing device for realizing the descent of the vehicle; the other side is an ascending section for realizing the ascent of the vehicle; both the descending section and the ascending section are formed by lifting chains arranged obliquely. The ascent or descent of the vehicle is realized through the lifting chains. The slide rails can be arranged between the lower ends of the two lifting chains for connection, or the lower ends of the two lifts can be close to each other and connected through a transition piece.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The cross-rail slewing device extends into the installation space, so that the path of the vehicle during rapid conveyance can be effectively extended, and it is convenient for the vehicle to pass through the cross-rail slewing device. The space occupied by the workstation outside the loop track can be effectively utilized. The arrangement of the cross-rail slewing device on the hanging system will not look obtrusive, the space occupied by the cross-rail slewing device is small, and the positive contribution to the space occupied by the hanging system is small. Since the cross-rail slewing device can provide a relatively long path for the vehicle, the width of the loop track can be made relatively small, which will effectively reduce the floor area of the hanging system and can effectively improve the space utilization rate in the factory building.

[0018] Figure 3 is a structural diagram of an implementation manner of the cross-rail slewing device.

[0019] In the figure, 1 is the loop track; 2 is the workstation; 3 is the connecting track; 4 is the sliding track; 5 is the workbench; 6 is the operator; 7 is the bracket; 8 is the swing head; 9 is the lifting chain. Specific implementation mode

[0020] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification, the structure of this cross-track conveying and hanging system includes a loop track 1. The loop track 1 is a closed-loop structure and is set at a height by a bracket 7. A flexible driving mechanism is arranged in parallel with the loop track 1. Generally, the driving mechanism is a driving chain or a driving rack. The driving chain meshes with a sprocket and moves under the driving force of the sprocket; the driving rack meshes with a gear and moves under the driving force of the gear. A number of pushing members are arranged on the driving mechanism. The pushing members extend towards the loop track 1. Driven by the driving mechanism, the pushing members push the carriers on the loop track 1 to move.

[0021] A number of workstations 2 are arranged along the running direction of the loop track 1. There is an annular installation space outside the loop track 1, and the workstations 2 are located in this installation space. A working position is formed beside each workstation 2. A workbench 5 is placed at the working position, and the operator 6 sits at the working position and performs an operation on a product process on the workbench 5. The described installation space is a spatial concept and does not have a clear and specific structure. After the workstations 2 are installed in place, the spaces occupied by all the workstations 2 are connected together to form the described installation space.

[0022] A cross-track rotary device is arranged at the middle position of the hanging system. The cross-track rotary device is used to realize the direct conveying of the carrier on the relative two sides at the middle position of the loop track 1. In the actual application process, the cross-track rotary device can be set at the exact middle position of the loop track 1 or can be set closer to the end position of the loop track 1. The cross-track rotary device extends into the relative two sides of the loop track 1. The cross-track rotary device includes a straight rod-shaped sliding track 4. The sliding track 4 can pass through the loop track 1 from the upper side of the loop track 1. The sliding track 4 and the loop track 1 are generally vertically intersecting. Both ends of the sliding track 4 are respectively connected with curved connecting tracks 3. The connecting tracks 3 can be connected with the sliding track 4 as a whole. However, usually, the connecting tracks 3 are pre-bent and then connected to the sliding track 4. The shape of the connecting track 3 is the same as the shape of the curved track in an ordinary workstation 2. In appearance, there is no obvious visual difference between the two. Generally, a lifting structure is also required to be arranged on the connecting track 3 at the inlet end of the sliding track 4 to realize the lifting of the carrier position. Of course, the sliding track 4 can also be arranged under the loop track 1 to realize the cross-track conveying of the carrier from the lower side of the loop track 1.

[0023] Figure 3Another structural diagram of the cross-connection device is shown. The figure shows that the slide rail 4 is arranged on the lower side of the ring rail 1, the main body of the cross-rail slewing device is located on the lower side of the ring rail 1, the left end of the slide rail 4 is its inlet end, and the connecting rail 3 on the left is located on the lower side of the ring rail 1. The right end of the slide rail 4 is its outlet end, and the connecting rail 3 on the right side should extend to the upper side of the ring rail 1 so that the carrier can slide down onto the ring rail 1 with the help of gravity. The inner end of the connecting rail 3 is provided with a swing head 8, which is used to achieve the connection between the connecting rail 3 and the ring rail 1. A lifting chain 9 is provided between the connecting rail 3 and the slide rail 4 to achieve the lifting and lowering of the height of the carrier. Among them, the lifting chain 9 on the left side forms a descending section for achieving the descent of the carrier; the lifting chain 9 on the right side forms an ascending section for achieving the ascent of the carrier. The lifting chain 9 can also be replaced by a structural form of a lifting arm combined with an inclined rail, which is connected to the connecting rail 3 and the slide rail 4.

[0024] The connecting rail 3 extends into the installation space. Generally, the connecting rail 3 is located in the installation space. The inner end of the connecting rail 3 extends toward the ring rail 1. A transition structure is provided between the inner end of the connecting rail 3 and the ring rail 1. The transition structure allows the vehicle to move between the ring rail 1 and the connecting rail 3. The transition structure is a movable structure. When the target vehicle is to enter the connecting rail 3 or enter the ring rail 1 from the connecting rail 3, the swing head in the transition structure is driven by the cylinder to overlap with the ring rail 1, thereby realizing the movement of the vehicle between the connecting rail 3 and the ring rail 1. When the vehicle enters the ring rail 1 from the connecting rail 3, the transition structure can also be an elastic swinging member, and the outer end of the swinging member is overlapped with the ring rail 1 under the action of the vehicle's gravity.

[0025] The slide rail 4 is tilted, with the inlet end of the slide rail 4 being higher than the outlet end. The carrier on the slide rail 4 slides from the inlet end to the outlet end of the slide rail 4 under the action of gravity. A lifting arm or a chain plate type lifting chain is also provided on the upstream side of the inlet end of the slide rail 4, so that the carrier is lifted upward from the lower end of the connecting rail 3 to the inlet end of the slide rail 4 on one side of the ring rail 1. A lowering mechanism is sometimes provided at the outlet end of the slide rail 4, so that the carriers can be lowered one by one when there is a pile of carriers. After the carrier comes out from the outlet end of the slide rail 4, it generally slides to the bottom end of the connecting rail 3 under the action of gravity, and is lifted upward by the above-mentioned lifting arm or lifting chain, so that the carrier enters the ring rail 1 from the other side of the ring rail 1, completing the rapid transportation of the carrier.

[0026] Relative to the ring rail 1, the outer ends of the workstation 2 and the connecting rail 3 are flush, the ends of the workstation 2 and the connecting rail 3 facing the ring rail 1 are the inner ends, and the ends of the workstation 2 and the connecting rail 3 away from the ring rail 1 are the outer ends. The curved rail structures in the connecting rail 3 and the workstation 2 are basically the same, and the sizes and installation positions are also basically the same.

[0027] In order to improve work efficiency, two sets of the cross-rail slewing devices are arranged at the middle position of the loop rail 1, and the conveying directions of the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices for the vehicle are opposite. There are no other workstations 2 arranged between the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices, and the two sets of cross-rail slewing devices are adjacent to each other and close together.
