[0051] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0052] The following describes the material process transfer system of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a material process transfer system, wherein the material process transfer system includes:

[0054] Transfer equipment 100, which can travel between the blanking station and the loading station and includes a transfer frame body 110 and a first transfer wire body 120. The first transfer wire body 120 is arranged on the transfer frame body 110 and has no power transmission setting;

[0055] The blanking equipment 200 is placed in the blanking station and / or the feeding station and includes a blanking frame 210, a first blanking line body 220 and a power transmission device 300. The first blanking line body 220 is arranged on the blanking frame 210 and can be set to start transmission automatically. The power transmission device 300 is arranged on the blanking frame 210 and is located at the docking end of the first blanking line body 220. The power transmission device 300 is used to trigger the first transfer line body 120 to follow the first blanking line body 220 for transmission when the docking end of the first transfer line body 120 and the first blanking line body 220 are docked.

[0056] When using the above-mentioned material transfer system between processes, since it includes the transfer equipment 100 and the blanking equipment 200, the first transfer line body 120 of the transfer equipment 100 is set to a non-powered transmission setting, and the first blanking line body 220 of the blanking equipment 200 is set to an automatically starting transmission setting, that is, the first transfer line body 120 has no power source, the first blanking line body 220 has a power source, and the transfer equipment 100 is provided with a power transmission device 300 at the docking end of the first blanking line body 220. The power transmission device 300 is used to trigger the first transfer line body 120 to follow the first blanking line body 220 for transmission when the docking end of the first transfer line body 120 and the first blanking line body 220 are docked, so that the transfer equipment 100 can achieve non-powered transmission, eliminating the transmission power device, and thus achieving the purpose of reducing production costs.

[0057] Specifically, both the first transfer line body 120 and the first blanking line body 220 can be set as chain conveyors. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and other suitable conveyors are also possible. At the same time, the first blanking line body 220 can hold materials through a supporting part 700, that is, the supporting part 700 containing materials can flow from the first blanking line body 220 at the blanking station to the first transfer line body 120, and from the first transfer line body 120 to the first blanking line body 220 at the feeding station. It should be especially noted that the supporting part 700 can be divided into a full-load supporting part and an empty-load supporting part. The full-load supporting part refers to the supporting part 700 containing materials, and the empty-load supporting part refers to the supporting part 700 that is empty without containing materials. And the supporting part 700 can be either a bracket or a tray, and can be specifically selected according to the structure of the materials.

[0058] See Figure 2 and Figure 3, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the power transmission device 300 includes a friction wheel mechanism. The friction wheel mechanism includes a connecting seat assembly 310, a mounting seat assembly 320, and a guide wheel member 330. The connecting seat assembly 310 is connected to the material swinging frame body 210 and is located at the docking end of the first material swinging line body 220. The mounting seat assembly 320 is disposed on the connecting seat assembly 310, and the guide wheel member 330 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat assembly 320. The opposite sides of the guide wheel member 330 are respectively used to abut against the transmission shaft of the first material swinging line body 220 and the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120, so as to trigger the first transfer line body 120 to follow the first material swinging line body 220 for transmission. That is, the power transmission device 300 adopts a friction transmission method, relying on the frictional force between the contact surfaces to transmit motion and power. This transmission method can make the docking between the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120 and the guide wheel member 330 relatively simple. Specifically, the friction between the contact surfaces can be selected as cylindrical flat friction or cylindrical groove friction. Of course, the present utility model is not limited to this. The power transmission device 300 can also be provided to include a driving gear body and a driven gear body. The driving gear body is disposed on the transmission shaft of the first material swinging line body 220, and the driven gear body is disposed on the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120. When the first material swinging line body 220 is docked with the first transfer line body 120, the driven gear body is docked and engaged with the driving gear body. Of course, an intermediate transmission gear body can also be provided between the driving gear body and the driven gear body, so as to trigger the first transfer line body 120 to follow the first material swinging line body 220 for transmission.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting seat assembly 320 includes a mounting seat body 321 and a first reset member 322. The mounting seat body 321 is liftably disposed on the connecting seat assembly 310 and is available for the guide wheel member 330 to be rotatably mounted. The first reset member 322 is disposed between the connecting seat assembly 310 and the mounting seat body 321 and is used to elastically support the mounting seat body 321. That is, the mounting seat assembly 320 is elastically liftably disposed on the connecting seat assembly 310. When the first material swinging line body 220 is docked with the first transfer line body 120, the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120 can abut against the guide wheel member 330. While pressing the guide wheel member 330 against the transmission shaft of the first material swinging line body 220, the first reset member 322 can also be compressed. Due to the elastic support of the first reset member 322 on the mounting seat body 321, an upward pressure can be provided to the guide wheel member 330, playing a role in increasing the frictional force and ensuring the torque transmission between the transmission shaft of the first material swinging line body 220 and the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120.

[0060] Specifically, when the first transfer line body 120 is not docked with the first material placing line body 220, the guide wheel member 330 can be set to contact the transmission shaft of the first material placing line body 220 at this time, so as to ensure that during the subsequent docking process of the first transfer line body 120 and the first material placing line body 220, the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120 can reliably press the guide wheel member 330 against the transmission shaft of the first material placing line body 220 to achieve stable friction transmission. When the transfer device 100 starts to move away from the material placing device 200, the guide wheel member 330 loses the pressure of the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120, and the mounting seat body 321 can drive the guide wheel member 330 to reset under the elastic action of the first reset member 322. Specifically, the first reset member 322 can be set as a spring member or other parts with elastic functions.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the connecting seat assembly 310 includes a connecting seat body 311 and a first guide shaft 312. The connecting seat body 311 is connected to the material placing frame body 210 and is located at the docking end of the first material placing line body 220. The first guide shaft 312 is arranged on the material placing frame body 210 through the connecting seat body 311. The mounting seat body 321 is sleeved on the first guide shaft 312 in a liftable manner. The first reset member 322 is placed between the connecting seat body 311 and the mounting seat body 321 and is sleeved on the first guide shaft 312. That is, by adding the first guide shaft 312 on the connecting seat body 311, the liftable installation of the mounting seat body 321 can be realized, and the first reset member 322 can be limited at the same time, and the stable installation of the mounting seat body 321 and the first reset member 322 on the connecting seat assembly 310 is realized. In addition, the connecting seat body 311 can also realize the liftable installation of the mounting seat body 321 on the connecting seat assembly 310 by setting a lift slide rail or a lift chute.

[0062] Specifically, the connection between the connection seat body 311 and the material placing frame body 210 is set as a detachable connection. The connection seat body 311 includes a connecting plate portion 313 and a shaft mounting seat portion 314 connected to the first end of the connecting plate portion 313. The second end of the connecting plate portion 313 is detachably connected to the material placing frame body 210. The first guiding shaft 312 is detachably arranged on the shaft mounting seat portion 314, and the upper end of the first guiding shaft 312 has a stop portion 315 disposed opposite to the upper side of the shaft mounting seat portion 314. The mounting seat body 321 includes a sleeve portion 323 and two ear plate portions 324. The sleeve portion 323 is provided with a mounting hole for the first guiding shaft 312 to pass through, and the sleeve portion 323 is located between the shaft mounting seat portion 314 and the stop portion 315. The aperture of the mounting hole is smaller than the radial dimension of the stop portion 315, so that the stop portion 315 can stop the sleeve portion 323 at the upper end of the sleeve portion 323. Both of the two ear plate portions 324 are connected to the upper end of the sleeve portion 323 and are disposed on opposite sides of the stop portion 315. The guide wheel member 330 is rotatably mounted on one end of the two ear plate portions 324 away from the sleeve portion 323 through a guide wheel shaft.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a driving friction wheel 221 for abutting against the guide wheel member 330 is provided on the transmission shaft of the first material placing line body 220, and a driven friction wheel 121 for abutting against the guide wheel member 330 is provided on the transmission shaft of the first transfer line body 120. Then, even in order to meet the performance requirements of friction transmission, there is no need to reselect the materials for the transmission shafts of the first material placing line body 220 and the first transfer line body 120. It only needs to make the driving friction wheel 221 and the driven friction wheel 121 from appropriate materials. At the same time, adding the driving friction wheel 221 and the driven friction wheel 121 is equivalent to increasing the shaft diameter of the corresponding transmission shaft. When the distance between the transmission shafts of the first material placing line body 220 and the first transfer line body 120 is constant, the shaft diameter of the guide wheel member 330 can be designed to be smaller. Specifically, the shaft diameters of the driving friction wheel 221, the guide wheel member 330, and the driven friction wheel 121 can be set to be the same or similar. More specifically, the guide wheel member 330 can be set as an H-groove type wheel body, so that the driving friction wheel 221 and the driven friction wheel 121 are always fitted in the groove during the friction transmission process. Of course, it is also possible to set the driving friction wheel 221 and the driven friction wheel 121 as H-groove types.

[0064] See Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In the embodiment of the utility model, the transfer equipment 100 also includes a blocking device 400, which is arranged on the transfer frame 110 and is located at one end of the first transfer line 120. The blocking device 400 includes a top rod 410, an adapter 420 and a blocking pin assembly 430. The blocking pin assembly 430 can be elastically extended and arranged on the transfer frame 110 and is used to block the supporting member 700 transmitted on the first transfer line 120. It can be understood that the supporting member 700 is used to hold the material, so that the transfer equipment 100 can avoid the occurrence of the supporting member 700 by adding the blocking pin assembly 430 during the movement. The phenomenon of the mounting part 700 slipping off, at the same time, the push rod member 410 is liftably arranged on the transfer frame 110. Specifically, a push rod guide sleeve 440 is provided on the transfer frame 110, and the push rod member 410 is liftably passed through the push rod guide sleeve 440. The first end of the adapter seat 420 is hinged on the push rod member 410, and the second end is used to apply a downward force to the blocking pin assembly 430 when the push rod member 410 is in an ascending state. A push rod pressure plate 211 is also provided on the swing material frame 210, and the push rod pressure plate 211 is used to lift the push rod member 410 when the first transfer line body 120 is connected with the first swing material line body 220. That is, when the first transfer line 120 moves to the docking end with the first swing material line 220, the push rod pressure plate 211 on the swing material frame 210 can gradually lift the push rod 410, and the rise of the push rod 410 can drive the second end of the adapter 420 to apply a downward force to the blocking pin assembly 430, so that the blocking pin assembly 430 can remove the blocking effect on the supporting member 700, and the supporting member 700 containing materials on the first transfer line 120 can flow smoothly to the first swing material line 220. In addition, when the transfer device 100 begins to move away from the swing material device 200, the push rod 410 will lose the pressure of the push rod pressure plate 211 and fall, and the adapter 420 will remove the downward force applied to the blocking pin assembly 430. The blocking pin assembly 430 can be reset due to its own elastic function, so that the blocking device 400 can achieve non-powered driving blocking and removal of the stop, further achieving the purpose of saving production costs. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the blocking pin assembly 430 in the blocking device 400 may also be configured to be automatically controlled to rise and fall.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the blocking pin assembly 430 includes a mounting housing 431, a blocking pin body 432 and a second reset member 433. The mounting housing 431 is disposed on the transfer frame body 110 and is located at one end of the first transfer line body 120. The mounting housing 431 forms a mounting cavity with a lateral opening. The blocking pin body 432 is vertically movably disposed on the mounting housing 431, and the upper end extends out of the top plate of the mounting housing 431 from the mounting cavity. An extension plate 434 is further connected to the circumferential side of the blocking pin body 432 in the mounting cavity. The second reset member 433 is disposed between the bottom plate of the mounting housing 431 and the blocking pin body 432 to elastically support the blocking pin body 432. The second end of the adapter seat 420 extends into the mounting cavity from the lateral opening and overlaps on the upper side of the extension plate 434. Since the first end of the adapter seat 420 is hinged to the top rod member 410, when the top rod pressing plate 211 jacks up the top rod member 410, the first end of the adapter seat 420 rises with the top rod member 410, and the second end of the adapter seat 420 swings downward to press down the extension plate 434. The blocking pin body 432 follows the extension plate 434 to descend, thereby removing the blocking effect on the supporting member 700. In addition, while the blocking pin body 432 descends, the extension plate 434 can also compress the second reset member 433. When the top rod pressing plate 211 moves away from the top rod member 410, since the jacking force on the top rod member 410 is removed, the top rod member 410 descends and resets, and the adapter seat 420 can return to the horizontal state and remove the downward pressure on the extension plate 434, so that the blocking pin body 432 resets under the elastic action of the second reset member 433. The addition of the mounting housing 431 can, on the one hand, make the blocking pin assembly 430 a modular structure, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. On the other hand, the blocking pin body 432 and the second reset member 433 are both accommodated in the mounting cavity, which can play a protective role. The addition of the extension plate 434 can facilitate the overlap of the second end of the adapter seat 420, and setting the connection between the second end of the adapter seat 420 and the extension plate 434 as an overlapping manner can achieve the purpose of being convenient for disassembly and assembly. Of course, it is also possible to hinge the second end of the adapter seat 420 to the extension plate 434.

[0066] Further, a second guiding shaft 435 is also provided on the bottom plate of the installation housing 431. The lower end of the blocking pin body 432 is sleeved on the second guiding shaft 435 in a liftable manner. And a second reset member 433 is arranged between the bottom plate of the installation housing 431 and the blocking pin body 432 and sleeved on the second guiding shaft 435. The second reset member 433 can be a spring member or other components with elastic functions. Further still, the adapter base 420 includes an intermediate connecting member and two downward pressing side plates 421. The two downward pressing side plates 421 are arranged relatively spaced apart and each includes a hinged portion, a connecting portion and a downward pressing portion sequentially arranged from the top rod member 410 towards the extension plate 434. The intermediate connecting member connects the connecting portions of the two downward pressing side plates 421. A through-channel is formed in the connecting portion. The blocking pin assembly 430 further includes a support rod 450 fixedly arranged and passing through the through-channel. The upper end of the top rod member 410 is placed between the hinged portions of the two downward pressing side plates 421 and is serially hinged. Pressing notches 422 are formed in the downward pressing portions of the two downward pressing side plates 421, and the pressing notches 422 are formed at the lower corners of the downward pressing portions. And the solid portion of the downward pressing portion above the pressing notch 422 overlaps the upper side of the extension plate 434, so as to ensure the stability of downward pressing through the pressing of the two downward pressing side plates 421.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the extension plate 434 includes a flat plate portion 436 and a vertical plate portion 437. The flat plate portion 436 is connected to the peripheral side of the blocking pin body 432 and is arranged relatively spaced apart from the bottom plate of the installation housing 431. The vertical plate portion 437 is bent and extended from one end of the flat plate portion 436. And a guiding hole passage 438 is formed in the side plate of the installation housing 431 arranged relatively spaced apart from the vertical plate portion 437. The guiding hole passage 438 extends along the height direction of the installation housing 431. A sliding shaft extending into the guiding hole passage 438 is provided on the vertical plate portion 437. Then, through the cooperation of the sliding shaft and the guiding hole passage 438, the lifting of the extension plate 434 can be guided to further ensure the stability of the lifting of the blocking pin assembly 430. At the same time, adding the vertical plate portion 437 to the extension plate 434 can facilitate the setting of the sliding shaft. Specifically, the number of the vertical plate portion 437, the guiding hole passage 438 and the sliding shaft can all be two. The two vertical plate portions 437 are respectively arranged at the opposite ends of the flat plate portion 436. The two guiding hole passages 438 are respectively formed in the two side plates of the installation housing 431 corresponding to the two vertical plate portions 437 one by one. The two sliding shafts are respectively arranged on the two vertical plate portions 437 and extend into the two guiding hole passages 438 one by one correspondingly. In addition, the sliding shaft can be detachably installed on the vertical plate portion 437.

[0068] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the material transfer system between processes further includes a positioning pile device 500. The positioning pile device 500 is fixedly arranged at the docking end of the blanking device 200 and is used to support the transfer frame body 110, so that the first transfer line body 120 is docked with the first blanking line body 220. The transfer device 100 further includes a transfer trolley 140. The transfer trolley 140 is used to lurk and walk to the lower side of the transfer frame body 110, and after lifting the transfer frame body 110 away from the positioning pile device 500, transfer the transfer frame body 110 to the positioning pile device 500 at another work station. By adding the positioning pile device 500, the accuracy of the docking between the transfer device 100 and the blanking device 200 can be ensured. At the same time, the transfer trolley 140 can be set as a lurking and lifting type AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). Then, when the transfer trolley 140 walks, it can lift the transfer frame body 110 and the transfer line body on the transfer frame body 110, increasing the driving wheel friction of the transfer trolley 140, and further increasing the driving force of the transfer trolley 140. And in the present utility model, the transfer trolley 140 and the transfer frame body 110 are separately arranged, so that after the transfer trolley 140 transfers the transfer frame body 110 in place, it can leave and continue to perform other tasks to improve the utilization rate of the transfer trolley 140. In addition, the transfer trolley 140 can also walk to any position for charging, so that the charging piles can be flexibly arranged, improving the use efficiency of the charging piles, reducing the number of charging piles, and reducing the project investment. Specifically, the positioning pile device 500 includes four positioning pile bodies 501, and the four positioning pile bodies 501 are used to respectively support the four columns of the transfer frame body 110 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0069] Please refer to again Figure 1, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the material placing device 200 further includes a second material placing line body 230. The first material placing line body 220 and the second material placing line body 230 are arranged in upper and lower layers on the material placing frame body 210. The transfer device 100 further includes a second transfer line body 130. The first transfer line body 120 and the second transfer line body 130 are arranged in upper and lower layers on the transfer frame body 110 and are used to be respectively and correspondingly connected to the first material placing line body 220 and the second material placing line body 230 to realize the transfer of full material tray assemblies and empty material tray assemblies in the upper and lower layers respectively. The material transfer system between processes further includes a lifting device 600 provided at the lifting end of the material placing device 200. The lifting device 600 has a lifting line body 601 that can switch positions between the first material placing line body 220 and the second material placing line body 230. By arranging the line bodies in the material placing device 200 and the transfer device 100 in upper and lower layers, the upper layer line body is used for placing full material tray assemblies, and the lower layer line body is used for placing empty material tray assemblies. Thus, at the blanking station and the feeding station, a material placing device 200 can be used to place both full material tray assemblies and empty material tray assemblies. And a material placing device 200 only occupies the width of one line body, which plays a role in saving the space beside the line. In addition, the addition of the lifting device 600 can realize the transfer of the tray assembly 700 between the first material placing line body 220 and the second material placing line body 230. It can be understood that when material blanking is required at the blanking station, an empty material tray assembly needs to be transferred from the second material placing line body 230 to the lifting line body 601 so that the operator can place the material on the empty material tray assembly. And at this time, the empty material tray assembly becomes a full material tray assembly. The lifting line body 601 needs to switch to be connected to the first material placing line body 220 to transfer the full material tray assembly to the first material placing line body 220. When material feeding is required at the feeding station, the operator can take the material on the full material tray assembly on the lifting line body 601. At this time, the full material tray assembly becomes an empty material tray assembly and can be switched through the lifting line body 601 to be connected to the second material placing line body 230 to transfer the empty material tray assembly to the second material placing line body 230.

[0070] Specifically, the material placing devices 200 can be provided at both the blanking station and the loading station. The lifting device 600 at the blanking station first keeps the lifting line body 601 docked with the second material placing line body 230 located in the lower layer. The empty material carrier assemblies on the second material placing line body 230 are transferred to the lifting line body 601. When the operator places the material on the empty material carrier assembly, the empty material carrier assembly is transformed into a full material carrier assembly, and the lifting device 600 is triggered to switch the lifting line body 601 to be docked with the first material placing line body 220 located in the upper layer, so as to transfer the full material carrier assemblies on the lifting line body 601 to the first material placing line body 220, thus realizing the automatic supply of the empty material carrier assemblies and the automatic placement of the full material carrier assemblies; the lifting device 600 at the loading station first keeps the lifting line body 601 docked with the first material placing line body 220 located in the upper layer. The full material carrier assemblies on the first material placing line body 220 are transferred to the lifting line body 601. When the operator takes away the material, the full material carrier assembly is transformed into an empty material carrier assembly, and the lifting device 600 is triggered to switch the lifting line body 601 to be docked with the second material placing line body 230 located in the lower layer, so as to transfer the empty material carrier assemblies on the lifting line body 601 to the second material placing line body 230, thus realizing the automatic supply of the full material carrier assemblies and the automatic placement of the empty material carrier assemblies.

[0071] Furthermore, when it is necessary to transfer the full material carrier assemblies at the blanking station, the transfer device 100 can be first controlled to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the blanking station, and then the full material carrier assemblies on the first material placing line body 220 are controlled to be transferred to fill the first transfer line body 120. Then, the transfer device 100 is continuously controlled to be transferred to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the loading station. Then, all the full material carrier assemblies on the first transfer line body 120 are controlled to be transferred to the first material placing line body 220, and the empty material carrier assemblies on the second material placing line body 230 are controlled to be transferred to fill the second transfer line body 130. Then, the transfer device 100 can be controlled to be transferred to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the blanking station, so as to transfer all the empty material carrier assemblies on the second transfer line body 130 to the second material placing line body 230; when it is necessary to transfer the empty material carrier assemblies at the loading station, the transfer device 100 can be first controlled to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the loading station, and then the empty material carrier assemblies on the second material placing line body 230 are controlled to be transferred to fill the second transfer line body 130. Then, the transfer device 100 is continuously controlled to be transferred to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the blanking station. Then, all the empty material carrier assemblies on the second transfer line body 130 are controlled to be transferred to the second material placing line body 230, and the full material carrier assemblies on the first material placing line body 220 are controlled to be transferred to fill the first transfer line body 120. Then, the transfer device 100 can be controlled to be transferred to be docked with the material placing device 200 at the loading station, so as to transfer all the full material carrier assemblies on the first transfer line body 120 to the first material placing line body 220.

[0072] More specifically, the lifting device 600 can be set as a scissor lift platform. Of course, other suitable elevators are also acceptable. At the same time, the second transfer line 130 can also be set as a non-powered transmission setting. A power transmission device 300 can also be provided at the docking end of the second material placing line 230. The power transmission device 300 is configured to trigger the second transfer line 130 to follow the second material placing line 230 for transmission when the docking end of the second transfer line 130 and the second material placing line 230 are docked. In addition, a blocking device 400 for blocking the empty pallet loading can be provided at one end of the second transfer line 130. Another ejector plate 211 is also provided on the material placing frame 210 at a corresponding position to trigger the blocking device 400 to release the blocking of the empty pallet loading.

[0073] In addition, the material transfer system between processes further includes a control device. The control device is communicatively connected to the transfer device 100 and the material placing devices 200 at each station respectively, and is configured as follows:

[0074] Step S100, generate a call instruction when the number of full pallet loadings in the unloading station and / or the number of empty pallet loadings in the loading station meet the preset transfer conditions.

[0075] Specifically, the preset transfer conditions can be set as: the number of empty pallet loadings in the loading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100. That is, during the process of counting the number of empty pallet loadings in the loading station, if it is determined that the counting result is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, it is determined that the preset transfer conditions have been met, and a call instruction can be generated. It should be particularly noted that since the unloading station is set as a sub-assembly processing production line and the loading station is set as an assembly processing production line, the production beat of the loading station is slower than that of the unloading station. When the number of empty pallet loadings in the loading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, the number of full pallet loadings in the unloading station should already meet the condition of being greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, which can also meet the requirement of subsequent simultaneous transfer of full pallet loadings and empty pallet loadings.

[0076] In addition, the preset transfer conditions can also be set as follows: the number of empty pallet assemblies in the loading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, and the number of full pallet assemblies in the unloading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100. That is, only when the transfer count results of both are within the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, a call instruction is generated, so that the transfer device 100 can be docked with the material placement devices 200 at different workstations, and the simultaneous transfer of full pallet assemblies and empty pallet assemblies can be realized, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the transfer efficiency. It should be particularly noted that the output rhythm of the empty pallet assemblies in the loading station may not be consistent with the output rhythm of the full pallet assemblies in the unloading station. When the output quantity of one of them reaches more than the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, the output can be controlled to stop to ensure consistency with the output quantity of the other.

[0077] Step S200, control the transfer device 100 to walk to be docked with the material placement device 200 in the unloading station and the material placement device 200 in the loading station respectively, so as to transfer the full pallet assemblies in the unloading station to the first material placement line body 220 in the loading station, and transfer the empty pallet assemblies in the loading station to the second material placement line body 230 in the unloading station.

[0078] It can be understood that after the call instruction is generated, there is no limit to the sequence of controlling the transfer device 100 to be docked with the material placement device 200 in the unloading station and the material placement device 200 in the loading station respectively.

[0079] By adding a control device, and the control device can count and compare the number of full pallet assemblies in the unloading station and / or the number of empty pallet assemblies in the loading station, so that according to the comparison result, an instruction for the transfer device 100 to transfer materials and pallet assemblies 700 between the unloading station and the loading station can be automatically triggered, so as to realize the full automation of the transfer of materials and pallet assemblies 700. Specifically, a proximity switch for counting full pallet assemblies can be provided on the first material placement line body 220 of the material placement device 200 in the unloading station, and a proximity switch for counting empty pallet assemblies can be provided on the second material placement line body 230 of the material placement device 200 in the loading station.

[0080] More specifically, the specific control steps of the material transfer system between processes can be as follows:

[0081] Count the number of full pallet assemblies in the unloading station and the number of empty pallet assemblies in the loading station;

[0082] When the number of empty pallet assemblies in the loading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, and the number of full pallet assemblies in the unloading station is greater than or equal to the maximum accommodation quantity of the transfer device 100, a call instruction is generated;

[0083] Control the transfer device 100 to move to dock with the material placing device 200 in the unloading station according to the call instruction;

[0084] Control the empty pallet assemblies on the transfer device 100 to flow onto the second material placing line body 230 in the unloading station, and control the full pallet assemblies in the unloading station to flow onto the first transfer line body 120 of the transfer device 100;

[0085] Control the transfer device 100 to move to dock with the material placing device 200 in the loading station;

[0086] Control the empty pallet assemblies in the loading station to flow onto the second transfer line body 130 of the transfer device 100, and control the full pallet assemblies on the transfer device 100 to flow onto the first material placing line body 220 in the loading station.
