[0036] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0037] In an automated assembly line, for certain specific materials or materials after being processed by previous processes, it is usually necessary to load them onto a carrier such as a tray and then convey them to avoid damage to the materials caused by the direct conveyance of the materials by the conveying device, which affects the yield rate of the subsequent processing products. How to transport the stacked materials to the tray, the present utility model will provide the following embodiments to solve this problem.

[0038] The automated assembly line in the present utility model can specifically be a cutting assembly line or a stamping assembly line. The tray is particularly suitable for loading metal stacked materials, and stacking refers to the accumulation of multiple metal materials.

[0039] As Figures 1-5 shown, it is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a linear transfer bracket provided by the present utility model.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment is used for the movement of stacking, and the stacked stack is placed on the tray. The embodiment includes a frame 110, a fork rack 120, a support bracket 130, a lifting assembly 140, and a moving assembly 150.

[0041] The support bracket 130 is fixedly connected to the frame 110. The support bracket 130 is used to support the stack. The fork rack 120 is used to support the stack. The interval length of the fork rack 120 for carrying the stack is greater than the interval length of the support bracket 130 for carrying the stack. The moving assembly 150 is disposed on the frame 110. The moving assembly 150 is connected to the fork rack 120. The moving assembly 150 drives the fork rack 120 to move horizontally. The lifting assembly 140 is disposed on the moving assembly 150. The lifting assembly 140 is connected to the fork rack 120. The lifting assembly 140 drives the fork rack 120 to move between above and below the support bracket 130.

[0042] The interval length of the fork rack 120 for carrying stacked items is greater than that of the support bracket 130 for carrying stacked items. Therefore, the fork rack 120 can extend from the front end or the rear end of the support bracket 130 through the moving component 150. When the fork rack 120 is located above the support bracket 130, the fork rack 120 carries the stacked items at this time. When the fork rack 120 is located below the support bracket 130, the support bracket 130 carries the stacked items at this time. When the support bracket 130 carries the stacked items, the fork rack 120 moves below the support bracket 130 to change the position where the fork rack 120 supports the stacked items. By alternately supporting the stacked items with the fork rack and the support bracket, the placement position of the stacked items on the support bracket 130 and the placement position on the fork rack 120 are changed, so as to realize moving the stacked items from the stock preparation table at the front end of the support bracket 130 to the tray at the rear end of the support bracket 130.

[0043] In one embodiment, the support bracket 130 includes a plurality of support bars 131 arranged in parallel with each other. The head and tail ends of the support bars 131 are respectively fixedly connected to the frame 110 through columns 132. The fork rack 120 includes a connecting plate 121 and a plurality of fork bars 122 arranged in parallel. The fork bars 122 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 121, and the connecting plate 121 is connected to the lifting component 140 and the moving component 150. The fork bars 122 and the support bars 131 are arranged alternately. There is one fork bar 122 in the interval between adjacent support bars 131. In this way, the fork bar 122 will not be blocked or interfered when moving between the upper and lower sides of the support bars 131, and the process of the fork bar 122 extending out of the front end or the rear end of the support bars 131 will not be blocked or interfered either. The moving component 150 drives the fork bar 122 to move along the interval direction between the support bars 131, that is, in the parallel direction of the support bars 131.

[0044] In one embodiment, the length of the fork bar 122 is greater than that of the support bar 131, and the fork bar 122 can pass through the vertical planes where the head and tail ends of the support bar 131 are located. By selecting the length of the fork bar 122 to be longer than that of the support bar 131, the interval length of the fork rack 120 for carrying stacked items is greater than that of the support bracket 130 for carrying stacked items. In this way, the fork bar 122 can extend out of the front end of the support bar 131 to pick up the stacked items on the stock preparation table, and can also extend out of the rear end of the support bar 131 to place the stacked items on the tray 500, and there is no interference during the process of picking up and placing the stacked items.

[0045] In one embodiment, a convex platform 1221 is formed by the middle part of the fork bar 122 bulging outwards. The fork bar 122 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 121 through the convex platform 1221, and the height of the convex platform 1221 is greater than the thickness of the support bar 131. By connecting the connecting plate 121 through the convex platform 1221, the fork bar 122 has an initial height, which can reduce the moving stroke of the lifting component 140, and further avoid the connecting plate 121 rising too much and colliding with the support bar 131.

[0046] In one embodiment, the supporting strip 131 is provided with a notch 133. The notches 133 between adjacent supporting strips 131 are located on the same straight line, and the direction of this straight line is perpendicular to the supporting strip 131. The notches on the same straight line form a fork strip groove 134, and the fork strip groove 134 is used to accommodate the fork strips of the rotary transfer bracket 300. The rotary transfer bracket 300 is located on the side of the supporting bracket 130. When the stack is located above the fork strip groove 134, the fork strips of the rotary transfer bracket 300 extend into the fork strip groove 134 and lift the stack upward, transferring the stack from the linear transfer bracket 100, rotating it, and then placing it in the tray 500.

[0047] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 140 is located below the supporting strip 131. The lifting assembly 140 includes a first power member 141 and a guiding column 142.

The guiding column 142 is disposed on the moving assembly 150, and the guiding column 142 is connected to the connecting plate 121. The first power member 141 is specifically a jacking oil cylinder. The number of guiding columns 142 is multiple, and they are symmetrically distributed around the first power member 141 for supporting and guiding the connecting plate 121.

[0048] In one embodiment, the moving assembly 150 includes a support frame 151, and the lower part of the support frame 151 is movably connected to the frame 110. An activity plate 157 is provided above the support frame 151. The lifting assembly 140 is provided on the upper side of the activity plate 157. The lower side of the activity plate 157 is movably connected to the support frame 151. The activity plate 157 moves along the interval direction between the supporting strips 131. The moving direction of the support frame 151 in the frame 110 is parallel to the moving direction of the activity plate 157. The support frame 151 can move, and the activity plate 157 carried by the support frame 151 can move on the support frame 151. This incremental design can increase the moving distance of the fork material rack 120.

[0049] Specifically, the moving modes of the support frame 151 and the activity plate 157 adopt a gear-rack drive. The frame 110 is provided with a first guide rail 111 and a first rack 112 arranged in parallel. The direction of the first guide rail 111 is parallel to the interval direction between the supporting strips 131. The support frame 151 is provided with a second power member 152, and the second power member 152 is connected to a first gear 153. The first gear 153 meshes with the first rack 112. The lower side of the support frame 151 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 111 through a first slider 154.

[0050] On the upper side of the support frame 151, there are a second guide rail 155 and a second rack 156. The direction of the second guide rail 155 is parallel to the direction of the first guide rail 111. The movable plate 157 is provided with a third power member 123.
