Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the mechanical technical field of suspension conveying devices, and particularly relates to a track transverse moving shuttle car for a suspension conveying line. Background Technique

[0002] Suspension conveying devices can make full use of three-dimensional space to meet effective transportation in a limited space. They are advanced conveying devices with high flexibility and automation, and play an increasingly important role in modern large-scale production.

[0003] For a heavy-duty suspension conveying system, materials need to be frequently taken out from or deposited into a storage suspension line. At present, generally two methods are adopted. One is that the shuttle car travels to a designated storage suspension line, and the transfer of materials between the two is realized through mechanical equipment. However, this method requires adding more mechanical mechanisms and electric control systems on the line body, and corresponding mechanisms need to be docked at the loading and unloading positions, resulting in higher construction and use costs, and also a larger floor area. The other method is to realize the transfer of materials between the shuttle car and the storage suspension line through manual handling, and its disadvantage is low efficiency and high labor intensity of workers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a track transverse moving shuttle car for a suspension conveying line with low cost, small floor area and high efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a track transverse moving shuttle car for a suspension conveying line. By manually pushing the whole device below, after the transverse moving device moves horizontally in the roadway to reach the designated storage suspension line, the locking lever is toggled to drive the connecting rod assembly to make the locking mechanism lock with the storage suspension line. Subsequently, the materials on the storage suspension line can enter the transverse moving suspension track, and the materials on the transverse moving suspension track can also enter the storage suspension line. After the material exchange is completed, the locking lever is toggled in the reverse direction to disengage from the storage suspension line, and then the shuttle car is pushed back in the roadway by manual. This shuttle car has a simple structure, low construction and use costs, and a small floor area.

[0005] Technical solution: In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a track transverse moving shuttle car for a suspension conveying line, which is used to take out or deposit materials, and includes a transverse moving assembly and a shuttle car. The transverse moving assembly is slidably connected with the shuttle car. The shuttle car is provided with a transverse moving suspension track. Locking mechanisms are installed at both ends of the transverse moving suspension track. A locking lever assembly is arranged on the shuttle car, and the locking lever assembly is connected with the locking mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the shuttle car further includes a vehicle body frame and a push-pull handle frame. The vehicle body frame is vertically connected with the push-pull handle frame to form an L-shaped frame. A linear guide rail is arranged on the vehicle body frame.

[0007] The translation assembly includes a translation vehicle frame and a suspension guide wheel, wherein the translation vehicle frame is connected to a linear guide rail through a slider, and the suspension guide wheel is arranged on the translation vehicle frame. The suspension guide wheel can be hung on the lane, and the entire shuttle vehicle can move on the lane through the suspension guide wheel. The translation vehicle frame and the vehicle body frame can move relative to each other through the linear guide rail, so as to facilitate the docking of the locking mechanism with the storage suspension line.

[0008] Preferably, the transverse suspension track is arranged on the vehicle body frame;

[0009] The locking lever assembly includes a lever, a rotating seat, a group of push-pull rod assemblies, a rotating shaft and a connecting rod assembly. The lever is arranged in the middle of the rotating seat. The rotating seat is rotatably arranged on the push-pull handle frame. One end of the push-pull rod assembly is connected to the rotating seat, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the push-pull handle frame. The rotating shaft is also connected to the connecting rod assembly. The connecting rod assembly is arranged on the transverse suspension track, and the connecting rod assembly is connected to the locking mechanism.

[0010] The push-pull rod assembly comprises a set of push-pull rods, the bottom of the push-pull rods are connected to both sides of the rotating seat, one end of the push-pull rods connected to the rotating shaft is sleeved with a reducing section, a sliding sleeve is sleeved on the push-pull rod, the sliding sleeve is located on the upper side of the reducing section, a spring is installed between the reducing section and the sliding sleeve, and the top end of the push-pull rod is threadedly connected to the pressure head;

[0011] A group of side ears with holes are installed on the rotating shaft, and the push-pull rod is arranged through the side ears.

[0012] By moving the lever to the left or right, the lever will drive the rotating seat to rotate, so that the push-pull rods on both sides move up and down at the same time. A spring is arranged between the reducing section and the sliding sleeve of the push-pull rod, and the spring makes the sliding sleeve close to the side ear. At the same time, the springs on both sides can keep the rotating seat in a neutral state under the action of their elastic force. If the lever is moved to the left, since the front clamp is already in a closed state, the sliding sleeve on the right push-pull rod moves up to compress the spring but cannot rotate the shaft. The left push-pull rod moves down until the pressure head on its upper part acts on the side ear to rotate the shaft, thereby driving the connecting rod assembly.

[0013] Further, the connecting rod assembly includes a driving rod, a driving shaft, and a group of connecting rods, one end of the driving rod is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is hinged to the connecting block, the other end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the driving shaft, the driving shaft is rotatably arranged on the transverse suspension track, a connecting piece is arranged on the driving shaft, and the connecting rod is hinged to both ends of the connecting piece;

[0014] The rotating shaft drives the driving rod to move, and the driving rod rotates the driving shaft through the connecting block to drive the connecting piece to rotate, and the connecting piece drives the connecting rod to move.

[0015] The locking mechanism includes a set of mounting plates, a set of positioning pins, a set of jaws, a V-shaped connecting rod, and a set of guiding rollers. The mounting plates are provided at both ends of the transverse suspension track. The positioning pins and the jaws are provided on both sides of the mounting plates. The jaws are rotatably arranged on the mounting plates. The branched ends of the V-shaped connecting rod are hinged to the jaws. The jaws are connected by a spring. The other end of the V-shaped connecting rod is connected to a connecting rod.

[0016] The connecting rod drives the V-shaped connecting rod to move back and forth, causing the jaws to rotate around their mounting positions (i.e., open or close). The spring between the jaws provides a pre-tightening force when the jaws are locked. The guiding rollers cooperate with the storage suspension line to play an auxiliary guiding role. The positioning pins can cooperate with the pin holes on the storage suspension line for positioning.

[0017] Further, a locking mechanism is further included. The locking mechanism includes a locking block and a pull rod. The locking block is T-shaped. One end of the locking block is rotatably arranged on the transverse suspension track. The pull rod is hinged to the middle of the locking block. The other end of the pull rod is connected to a drive shaft through a connecting block. A locking groove is provided on the translation vehicle frame. The locking block can cooperate with the locking groove. In the normal state, the locking block and the locking groove are engaged with the locking groove under the action of a spring, avoiding relative displacement between the translation vehicle frame and the vehicle body frame during the movement of the shuttle vehicle. When the shuttle vehicle moves to a designated position and needs to be docked with the storage suspension line, the worker pulls the lever to rotate the drive shaft clockwise. While the jaws are opened, the drive shaft causes the locking block to rotate around its mounting position through the connecting block, and the locking block no longer engages with the locking groove, unlocking the translation vehicle frame and the vehicle body frame.

[0018] In a further optimized solution, the transverse suspension track is further provided with a travel switch. A trigger guide wheel is arranged at the end of the travel switch. The trigger guide wheel can cooperate with the locking block.

[0019] A push-pull handle is provided on the push-pull handle frame. An indicator light is provided on the vehicle body frame. The indicator light is connected to the travel switch.

[0020] When the locking block is unlocked, its rotation will touch the trigger guide wheel, thereby triggering the travel switch. The travel switch gives a signal and the indicator light lights up green, indicating that the translation vehicle frame and the vehicle body frame have been unlocked. The worker can push the vehicle body frame to be docked with the storage suspension line by pushing the push-pull handle left and right.

[0021] From the above technical solutions, it can be seen that the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The utility model provides a track traversing shuttle for a suspension conveyor line. The whole device is pushed manually from below. After the traversing device moves horizontally in the roadway and reaches the designated storage suspension line, the lever is toggled to drive the connecting rod assembly so that the locking mechanism locks with the storage suspension line. Subsequently, the materials on the storage suspension line can enter the traversing suspension track, and the materials on the traversing suspension track can also enter the storage suspension line. After the material exchange is completed, the lever is toggled in the reverse direction to disengage from the storage suspension line, and then the shuttle is pushed manually to return in the roadway. This shuttle has a simple structure, low construction and use costs, and a small floor area.

[0023] 2. The track traversing shuttle for a suspension conveyor line provided by the utility model improves the transfer efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of workers compared with the manual handling method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] A set of side ears 2341 with holes are installed on the rotating shaft 234. The push-pull rod 2331 passes through the side ears 2341. It should be noted that the structure of the push-pull rod assembly 233 is not limited to the structure listed in this embodiment.

[0040] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the connecting rod assembly 235 includes a driving rod 2351, a driving shaft 2352, and a set of connecting rods 2353. One end of the driving rod 2351 is connected to the rotating shaft 234, and the other end is hinged to a connecting block. The other end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 2352. The driving shaft 2352 is rotatably disposed on the transverse moving suspension track 21. A connecting piece 2354 is provided on the driving shaft 2352. The connecting rods 2353 are hinged to both ends of the connecting piece 2354;

[0041] As Figure 5 shown, the locking mechanism 22 includes a set of mounting plates 221, a set of positioning pins 222, a set of clamping jaws 223, a V-shaped connecting rod 224, and a set of guide rollers 225. The mounting plates 221 are disposed at both ends of the transverse moving suspension track 21.

[0042] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, it further includes a locking mechanism 3. The locking mechanism 3 includes a locking block 31 and a pull rod 32. The locking block 31 is T-shaped. One end of the locking block 31 is rotatably arranged on the transverse suspension track 21. The pull rod 32 is hinged to the middle of the locking block 31. The other end of the pull rod 32 is connected to the drive shaft 2352 through a connecting block.

[0045] When a suspension conveyor line track transverse shuttle car provided by the present utility model is in use, when it is necessary to store materials, relevant information is first registered on the machine outside the equipment. The equipment then makes a reaction, gives the specific cargo track number and position on the display screen, and lights up the corresponding track in the roadway 6 to give a prompt. Manually push the shuttle car close to the corresponding storage suspension line 7 body track through the push-pull handle 251 on the push-pull handle frame 25, then move the lever 231 to the left or right. The lever 231 drives the rotating seat 232 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating seat 232 makes the push-pull rods 2331 on both sides move up and down. Since the front-end clamping jaws 223 are in a closed state at this time, the upward-moving push-pull rod 2331 can only compress the spring and cannot make the rotating shaft 234 rotate. However, for the downward-moving push-pull rod 2331, the pressing head 2334 on its upper part acts on the side ear 2341 and makes the rotating shaft 234 rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 234 drives the driving rod 2351 to move backward and then makes the drive shaft 2352 rotate clockwise. The rotation of the drive shaft 2352 makes the connecting rod 2353 open the clamping jaws 223 through the V-shaped connecting rod 224. At the same time, the drive shaft 2352 pulls the locking block 31 out of the locking groove on the translation vehicle frame 11 through the pull rod 32 and triggers the travel switch 4. At this time, the indicator light 5 lights up green. The operator drags the push-pull handle frame 25 to the left or right to make the vehicle body frame 24 move left or right relative to the translation vehicle frame 11. After the positioning pin 222 and the guide roller 225 in the locking mechanism 22 cooperate with the storage suspension line 7 body track, then release the lever 231. The clamping jaws 223 close and engage with the storage suspension line 7 body track. The docking of the transverse suspension track 21 and the storage suspension line 7 is completed, and the materials on the transverse suspension track 21 can enter the storage suspension line 7 along it.

[0046] When separating, also move the lever 231 to open the jaws 223, and then pull the push-pull handle 251 away from the storage suspension line 7. After the track is separated, release the lever 231 and engage the locking block 31 with the locking groove, and then the shuttle car can be pulled back.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements can be made, and these improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
