Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a conveyor line with a side jacking station, belonging to the technical field of mechanical automation. Background Art

[0002] Mechanical automation is a process of using machines or devices to achieve automatic control through mechanical means. The technology of automated mechanical production is closely related to systems engineering, computer technology, electronics, hydraulic and pneumatic technologies, and automatic control technologies, etc. With the rapid development of industrial automation technology in China, the requirements for automation technology are increasing day by day. In recent years, the country's investment in the field of artificial intelligence has also been gradually expanded, making the popularization of industrial automation an embodiment of the country's comprehensive strength.

[0003] Commonly used automation technologies include robotic mechanisms, press-fitting mechanisms, rotating mechanisms, jacking mechanisms, etc. Among them, the jacking mechanism is often used in the processes of feeding, docking or transferring in automated equipment. In some scenarios where multiple workstations operate simultaneously, most often a conveyor line runs through multiple machines, and then the robot moves to load and unload materials for multiple machines. There are also cases where the main line is combined with multiple branch line bodies, so each machine has its own independent branch line body. However, when multiple machines are only driven on one conveyor line, it is easy to cause accumulation during product feeding, seriously affecting the normal production of subsequent products. Moreover, multiple branch line bodies do not have advantages in terms of safety, cost, and floor area. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a conveyor line with a side jacking station. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] This part of the content of the present application is used to briefly introduce the concepts, which will be described in detail in the subsequent detailed implementation part. This part of the content of the present application is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0005] Aiming at the problems and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a conveyor line with a side jacking station, which realizes the transfer of product carriers through an upper conveyor line, a lower conveyor line and a lifting mechanism, and then combines with a side jacking mechanism to complete the jacking operation of the product carrier. The side jacking can enable the feeding products to still pass through normally, thereby reducing the impact on downstream operations. To solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a frame. Both ends of the frame are connected with lifting mechanisms, and the lifting mechanisms are respectively connected to the upper assembly line and the lower assembly line arranged on the frame. The product carrier is driven to flow above the upper assembly line and the lower assembly line. A side jacking mechanism is connected to the outside of the frame. The side jacking mechanism includes a driving motor. The output shaft of the driving motor is connected to a transmission shaft, and a jacking block is sleeved outside the transmission shaft. The jacking block is abutted against a jacking bottom plate, and a jacking support plate is connected above the jacking bottom plate through a guide rod. The jacking support plate is abutted against the product carrier.

[0007] Preferably, a bearing seat is also sleeved outside the transmission shaft, and the bearing seat is connected to the outside of the frame. The bearing seat is usually sleeved outside the shaft and plays a role in supporting and positioning. In the present utility model, the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the side of the frame, and the bearing seat is sleeved outside the transmission shaft in the side jacking mechanism. That is, the bearing seat is used to assist in sharing the axial and radial loads of the transmission bearing mechanical part, and at the same time plays a role in supporting and fixing the transmission shaft to improve the stability of the transmission shaft during working rotation.

[0008] Preferably, a guiding fixed plate is connected to the outside of the frame, and the guiding fixed plate is slidably sleeved outside the guide rod. The guiding fixed plate is connected to the outside of the frame and is slidably sleeved outside the guide rod. That is to say, when the jacking block jacks up the jacking bottom plate to drive the guide rod to perform an upward movement, it can ensure that the guide rod moves straight upward and is not prone to deviation.

[0009] Preferably, a linear bearing is added at the connection of the guiding fixed plate and the guide rod. When the linear bearing is used in cooperation with the guiding shaft, infinite linear movement can be realized through the rolling of the balls. In the present utility model, adding a linear bearing at the connection of the guiding fixed plate and the guide rod can not only further ensure the direction stability of the guide rod during the linear movement process, but also reduce the friction between the guiding fixed plate and the guide rod, and bear the load when jacking the product carrier to extend their service life.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting rod is connected to the top of the frame through an adapter plate, and the limiting rod corresponds to the lifting mechanism. The limiting rod is connected to the top of the frame, and its position corresponds to the lifting mechanism. During the working process, when the lifting mechanism drives the product carrier to flow from the lower assembly line to the upper assembly line, the position of the product carrier during rising can be restricted, so that it is not easily lifted higher than the frame and dropped.

[0011] Preferably, a position sensor is also connected to the upper assembly line for sensing the position of the product carrier during transmission. The position sensor can sense the position of the object to be measured and convert it into a usable signal for output. Connecting the position sensor to the upper assembly line can be used to sense the position of the product carrier when it flows along the upper assembly line, and in combination with the side jacking mechanism, the jacking operation can be accurately completed according to the position of the product carrier.

[0012] Preferably, the jacking block can be a cam or a wedge block. Both the cam and the wedge block can jack up the jacking plate to complete the jacking operation. The cam usually rotates continuously at a constant speed, and the follower is designed according to the use requirements to obtain a certain law of motion. When using a cam, only by designing an appropriate cam profile, the follower can obtain any desired motion, so its structure is simple, compact and convenient to design. The wedge block is a conical block with a sharp top and a wider bottom.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] The structure of the present utility model is simple and the operation is convenient, and the side jacking operation of the product can be realized. The present utility model connects the upper assembly line and the lower assembly line through a lifting mechanism, and the product carrier loaded with products flows and is transmitted along the upper assembly line and the lower assembly line. When the product carrier flows to the position of the side jacking mechanism, the side jacking mechanism jacks up the product carrier. When the side jacking mechanism performs the side jacking of the product carrier, the subsequent upstream incoming materials can pass under the jacked-up product carrier, thereby reducing the impact on the downstream operation and greatly improving the production capacity of the product. The subsequent upstream incoming materials flow and are transmitted along the lower assembly line in sequence, then rise to the upper assembly line by the lifting mechanism, and finally flow to the side jacking mechanism, and the cycle continues to complete the side jacking. Among them, the bearing seat and the guiding fixing plate are also combined to improve the stability of the side jacking mechanism during jacking, and it is not easy to have the phenomenon of position deviation. And the limiting rod at the top of the frame can limit the position of the product carrier when it rises, so that it is not easy to be lifted higher than the frame and fall.

[0026] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] A conveyor line with a side jacking station provided in this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure: it includes a frame 6. Both ends of the frame 6 are connected to a lifting mechanism 5, and the lifting mechanism 5 is respectively connected to an upper assembly line 1 and a lower assembly line 2 provided on the frame 6. The product carrier 4 is driven and circulated above the upper assembly line 1 and the lower assembly line 2. A side jacking mechanism 3 is connected to the outside of the frame 6. The side jacking mechanism 3 includes a driving motor 301. The output shaft of the driving motor 301 is connected to a transmission shaft 307, and a jacking block 302 is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 307. The jacking block 302 is abutted against a jacking bottom plate 309. Above the jacking bottom plate 309, a jacking support plate 305 is connected through a guide rod 304, and the jacking support plate 305 is abutted against the product carrier 4.

[0028] This embodiment further includes that a bearing seat 308 is also sleeved outside the transmission shaft 307. The bearing seat 308 is connected to the outside of the frame 6. A guide fixing plate 306 is connected to the outside of the frame 6, and the guide fixing plate 306 is slidably sleeved outside the guide rod 304. A linear bearing 303 is added at the connection between the guide fixing plate 306 and the guide rod 304. The bearing seat 308 can help the transmission shaft 307 bear the axial and radial loads of the machine to improve the stability of the transmission shaft 307 during rotation. The guide fixing plate 306 can ensure that the guide rod 304 always moves in a straight line without deviation. The linear bearing 303 can not only ensure the direction stability of the guide rod 304 during linear motion, but also reduce the friction between the guide fixing plate 306 and the guide rod 304 and bear a certain load when jacking the product carrier 4.

[0029] This embodiment further includes that a limiting rod 7 is connected to the top of the frame 6 through an adapter plate. The limiting rod 7 corresponds to the lifting mechanism 5. A position sensor is also connected to the upper assembly line 1 for sensing the position of the product carrier 4 during transmission. The jacking block 302 can be selected as a cam or a wedge block. The position of the product carrier 4 can be limited by the limiting rod 7 so that it is not easily lifted and dropped. The position sensor is used to sense the position of the product carrier 4 when it circulates along the upper assembly line 1, and the side jacking mechanism 3 is combined to complete the jacking operation according to the position of the product carrier 4. Both the cam and the wedge block can jack the jacking support plate 305 to complete the jacking operation. In particular, for the cam, only by designing an appropriate cam profile, the follower can obtain any desired motion, so it is very convenient to design and use.

[0030] The usage method of the utility model

[0031] The utility model includes an upper production line 1 and a lower production line 2. The upper production line 1 and the lower production line 2 are respectively connected to a frame 6. The upper production line 1 is located at the top of the frame 6, and the lower production line 2 is connected below the upper production line 1. A lifting mechanism 5 is connected to both ends of the frame 6 and is respectively connected to the upper production line 1 and the lower production line 2. A side jacking mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 6. A product carrier 4 moves along the upper production line 1, and products are placed in the product carrier 4. The circulation of the product carrier 3 between the upper production line 1 and the lower production line 2 can be completed through the lifting mechanism 5. The upper production line 1 and the lower production line 2 are driven by a motor to connect a chain to achieve movement, and a double-sided belt line, a double-speed chain or a flat belt line can also be used to replace the chain. In addition, the detailed structures of a large number of lifting mechanisms have been recorded in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail in the present utility model.

[0032] During use, products are placed inside the product carrier 4. The product carrier 4 moves along the upper production line 1 and the lower production line 2 through the lifting mechanism 5. When the product carrier 4 moves to the position of the side jacking mechanism 3, it is jacked up to provide operations for corresponding machines (such as inspection machines, assembly machines, etc.). At this time, the upstream incoming materials can normally pass through the lower part of the jacked-up product and flow to the downstream jacking operation output for operations. After the operations are completed, the products are taken out from the product carrier 4, and the product carrier 4 continues to flow downstream. The product carrier 4 moves along the upper production line 1 to one side of the lifting mechanism 5 and descends to the lower production line 2 through the lifting mechanism 5 to continue flowing. When the product carrier 4 moves to the position of the lifting mechanism 5 on the other side, it is lifted to the upper production line 1 through the lifting mechanism 5 to continue flowing. At this time, the product carrier 4 is in the initial position. Then, the next product is placed in the product carrier 4 and continues to flow to the downstream operations in this cycle.

[0033] The side jacking mechanism 3 includes a driving motor 301. The output shaft of the driving motor 301 is connected to a transmission shaft 307, and the outer sides of both ends of the transmission shaft 307 are connected to jacking blocks 302. The jacking blocks 302 abut against a jacking bottom plate 309. The jacking bottom plate 309 is connected to guide rods 304, and a jacking support plate 305 is connected to the top ends of the guide rods 304. A guiding fixed plate 306 is sleeved outside the guide rods 304. The guiding fixed plate 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 6, and a linear bearing 303 is additionally provided at the connection between the guiding fixed plate 306 and the guide rods 304. A bearing seat 308 is also sleeved outside the transmission shaft 307, and the bearing seat 308 is fixedly connected to the frame 6. The jacking support plate 305 is fixed at the end of the guide rod 304 for jacking up the product carrier 4, and the jacking bottom plate 309 is connected to the bottom of the guide rod 304. That is, the jacking blocks 302 and the jacking bottom plate 309 are in contact all the time. When the jacking blocks 302 rotate, the jacking bottom plate 309 is driven to move up and down, so as to drive the guide rods 304 on the same side to complete synchronous lifting and lowering. The working process of the side jacking mechanism 3 is as follows: when the position sensor senses that the product carrier 4 moves to the position of the side jacking mechanism 3, the driving motor 301 works to drive the transmission shaft 307 to rotate. The transmission shaft 307 drives the jacking blocks 302 to rotate and jack up the jacking bottom plate 309, so that the jacking support plate 305 completes the lifting and lowering of the product carrier 4.

[0034] In the present utility model, the driving motor 301 can be replaced by a pneumatic drive. The jacking blocks 302 for jacking can be replaced by a cam or a wedge block. Or the jacking blocks can also be replaced by a hinge mechanism, a rack and pinion mechanism, etc. In addition, the side jacking mechanism 3 can be extended to multiple ones according to actual needs, so as to facilitate the side jacking operations of multiple products simultaneously.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0036] In addition to the above embodiments, the present utility model can also have other embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be equivalently replaced.
