Specific embodiments
[0024] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Embodiment 1
[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a buffer station for automotive exterior parts in the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes a buffer station body 4. Adjustable legs 5 are provided at the four corners of the bottom end of the buffer station body 4. A cover plate 6 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the top end of the buffer station body 4. One side of the inner wall of the buffer station body 4 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 10. A reflective photoelectric sensor 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the top end of the fixing plate 10. A protection component 9 is provided at the other end of the top end of the fixing plate 10. Chain mounting brackets 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the buffer station body 4 at equal intervals. A conveyor chain 7 is arranged on the buffer station body 4 and the chain mounting brackets 8.
[0027] The protection component 9 includes a limit seat 902. The limit seat 902 is fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixed plate 10. The inner wall of the limit seat 902 is provided with clamping grooves 903 at equal angles. One side of the back of the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected with an elastic rope 901. One end of the elastic rope 901 is fixedly connected with a protective cover 905. The lower end of the surface of the protective cover 905 is fixedly connected with a clamping block 904.
[0028] In this embodiment, a clamping structure is formed between the inside of the clamping block 904 and the clamping groove 903. The shapes of the top views of the clamping groove 903 and the clamping block 904 are convex. By using the clamping of the convex clamping block 904 and the inside of the clamping groove 903, the firm stability of the clamping between the protective cover 905 and the limit seat 902 is improved.
[0029] In this embodiment, the protective cover 905 is cylindrical, and the depth inside the protective cover 905 is greater than the height of the reflective photoelectric sensor 1. By using the relatively high protective cover 905, it is convenient to comprehensively shield and protect the elastic rope 901.
[0030] In this embodiment, a side baffle 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the chain mounting bracket 8. The cross-sectional shape of the side baffle 3 is arc-shaped. By using the side baffle 3, it is convenient to limit both sides of the empty tray, so that the empty tray can be stably centered and conveyed at the top of the conveying chain 7.
[0031] In this embodiment, rear baffles 2 are fixedly connected to one ends of both sides of the inner wall of the buffer station body 4. The rear baffles 2 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical central axis of the buffer station body 4. By using the symmetrically distributed rear baffles 2, it is possible to prevent the empty tray from extending beyond one end of the buffer station body 4 due to excessive inertial conveying.
[0032] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: When the present utility model is in use, during the operation and conveying of the conveying chain 7, the side baffle 3 is used to limit both sides of the empty tray, so that it can be centered and stably conveyed. And after the reflective photoelectric sensor 1 detects that the empty tray is in place, the driving device at the bottom of the buffer station body 4 stops working, so that the conveying chain 7 no longer drives, thereby avoiding the inconvenience caused by the empty tray not being conveyed in place or being conveyed excessively. And by using the rear baffle 2, when the empty tray is conveyed excessively, it can be limited to ensure the accurate placement of the empty tray on the buffer station body 4. At the same time, when not in use, the protective cover 905 can be clamped into one of the limit seats 902, and the clamping block 904 can be clamped into the clamping groove 903, realizing the firm placement of the protective cover 905, which is convenient for comprehensively shielding and protecting the reflective photoelectric sensor 1, avoiding adhesion of dust and other impurities or damage to the reflective photoelectric sensor 1 by external forces, and prolonging its service life.
[0033] Embodiment 2
[0034] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, an exterior automotive part buffering station includes all the contents of Embodiment 1: The adjustable leg 5 includes an adjustable support 501. The adjustable support 501 is fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom end of the buffering station body 4. A threaded rod 504 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the adjustable support 501. The bottom end of the threaded rod 504 penetrates through the bottom end of the adjustable support 501 and is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 503. An upper nut 506 and a lower nut 505 are respectively threadedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the adjustable support 501 and the bottom end of the adjustable support 501 on the surface of the threaded rod 504.
[0035] In this embodiment, a reserved hole is provided on one side of the top end of the mounting plate 503. The reserved hole is used to cooperate with an external bolt to realize the locking and fixing of the mounting plate 503.
[0036] In this embodiment, an anti-slip pattern 502 is provided on the bottom end of the mounting plate 503. The shape of the anti-slip pattern 502 in the top view is wavy. By using the wavy anti-slip pattern 502, the anti-slip stability between the bottom end of the mounting plate 503 and the mounting surface is improved.
[0037] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiment is as follows: During use, the mounting plate 503 is tightened and fixed by an external bolt. Then, the lower nut 505 and the upper nut 506 are loosened. After that, the adjustable support 501 is slid to a suitable height, and then the lower nut 505 and the upper nut 506 are tightened to realize the limit fixing after the sliding of the adjustable support 501 and the threaded rod 504, thereby changing the overall height of the buffering station body 4.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model are as follows: First, the mounting plate 503 is tightened and fixed by an external bolt. Then, the lower nut 505 and the upper nut 506 are respectively loosened. After that, the adjustable support 501 is slid until it slides to a suitable height on the surface of the threaded rod 504, and then the lower nut 505 and the upper nut 506 are tightened to realize the limit fixing after the sliding of the adjustable support 501 and the threaded rod 504, thereby changing the overall height of the buffering station body 4 to meet the usage requirements in different situations;
[0039] Afterwards, the driving device at the bottom of the buffer station body 4 can be used to drive the conveyor chain 7 to convey the empty pallets returned to the line-side warehouse towards the rear baffle 2. At this time, the side baffle 3 is used to limit the two sides of the empty pallets so that they can be conveyed smoothly in the center. And after the reflective photoelectric sensor 1 detects that the empty pallets are in place, the driving device at the bottom of the buffer station body 4 stops working, so that the conveyor chain 7 no longer drives, thereby avoiding the inconvenience caused by the empty pallets not being conveyed in place or being conveyed excessively. And by using the rear baffle 2, when the empty pallets are conveyed excessively, their positions can be limited to ensure the accurate placement of the empty pallets on the buffer station body 4. At the same time, when not in use, the protective cover 905 can be snapped into a limit seat 902, and the clamping block 904 is snapped into the card slot 903 to achieve the firm placement of the protective cover 905, which is convenient for the comprehensive shielding protection of the reflective photoelectric sensor 1, avoiding the adhesion of dust and other impurities or the damage of the reflective photoelectric sensor 1 by external forces, and prolonging its service life;
[0040] Furthermore, in the production and processing of automotive exterior parts, when empty pallets are generated in the line-side warehouse, the buffer warehouse positions will be filled first. After being full, the empty pallets will be conveyed to the large warehouse. When conveying empty pallets to the painting offline area, the empty pallets in the buffer station will be used first until there are no empty pallets in the buffer station, and then the empty pallets will be transferred from the large warehouse, which can relieve the transportation pressure of 6 stackers and facilitate the smooth progress of production operations.
