Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of handling equipment, in particular to a motor shell handling equipment for the equipment manufacturing industry. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of the electric submersible pump workshop, the use of motor shells is essential. Therefore, the workshop will store a large number of motor shells. These motor shells have different lengths, and generally have a relatively long length. The length of some motor shells is even up to 10 meters. In the process of using motor shells, it is inevitable to carry out complicated operations such as handling, transferring, and counting of motor shells.

[0003] In the existing technical solutions, the most commonly used method is to manually operate a crane to handle motor shells. However, this method requires skilled crane operators, and the operators need to run back and forth frequently and perform repetitive operations to ensure accurate operation of the crane during the handling of motor shells. Otherwise, the handling efficiency of motor shells will be greatly reduced. And when manually placing the motor shell on the workbench through the crane, there may be a position error, resulting in a situation of shaking and instability, and even a risk of falling, which will threaten the safety of workers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to improve the situation of low efficiency and inaccurate positioning in manually hoisting motor shells, the present application provides a motor shell handling equipment for the equipment manufacturing industry.

[0005] The present application provides a motor shell handling equipment for the equipment manufacturing industry, adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] A motor shell handling equipment for the equipment manufacturing industry, comprising

[0007] A transport trolley;

[0008] A plurality of storage brackets, all arranged on the transport trolley and spaced apart along the front-back direction of the transport trolley. Each storage bracket is provided with a plurality of V-shaped limiting grooves at the top. The limiting grooves are located on a plurality of straight lines in the front-back direction. The limiting grooves on each straight line can accommodate a motor shell to be handled.

[0009] A positioning bracket, on which a positioning piece is arranged. The positioning piece is used for placing corresponding to the end of one end of the motor shell, and the positioning piece is used for being recognized and positioned by the position sensor of the hoisting equipment.

[0010] Further, a positioning plate is arranged at the top of the storage bracket. The limiting grooves are correspondingly opened at the top of the positioning plate. The positioning plate is provided with anti-sliding blocks at the openings of the limiting grooves. The anti-sliding blocks are used for supporting the motor shell and contacting the outer wall of the motor shell.

[0011] Further, the anti-slip block is made of polyurethane or rubber material.

[0012] Further, the storage bracket is detachably connected to the transport trolley.

[0013] Further, one end of the positioning bracket is fixed to the side wall of the transport trolley, and the other end extends horizontally along the length direction of the transport trolley. A plurality of positioning pieces are provided and are spaced along the positioning bracket.

[0014] Further, a horizontal extension rod is provided on the positioning bracket. The extension rod is arranged along the length direction of the transport trolley. One end of the extension rod is fixed to the top of one of the storage brackets, and the other end is fixed to the top of the end of the positioning bracket away from the transport trolley. The positioning pieces are spaced on the extension rod.

[0015] Further, a limiting piece is provided at the top of the end of the positioning bracket away from the transport trolley. The limiting piece corresponds to the position of the positioning plate and is used for limiting the end of the motor housing.

[0016] Further, obstacle avoidance sensors are arranged at the four end corners of the transport trolley. The obstacle avoidance sensors are electrically connected to the control unit and are used for detecting surrounding obstacles and feeding back signals to the control unit.

[0017] Further, anti-collision strips are arranged on the side walls around the transport trolley.

[0018] Further, a control touch screen is arranged on one side wall of the transport trolley.

[0019] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By using a transport trolley with a built-in magnetic induction sensor, a control unit and a communication unit to carry the motor housing, magnetic strips can be pasted on the ground in areas such as the transport trolley route in the workshop, the inspection area, the storage area, the process transfer area, and the warehousing shelf area. The magnetic induction sensor in the transport trolley can sense the position of the magnetic strip, so that the transport trolley can carry the motor housing along the specified magnetic strip route, thereby realizing the automatic transportation of the motor housing. Workers only need to place the motor housing on the transport trolley, reducing the repetitive operations of manual handling, reducing the chance of workers contacting ultra-long workpieces and special-shaped items, and thus reducing the risk of workers being injured;

[0021] 2. An RFID device is provided at the bottom of the transport trolley. The transport trolley can identify the positioning marks on the ground through the RFID device, enabling precise positioning of the transport trolley, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of hoisting and placing the motor housing.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings. The following describes a relatively optimal one among multiple possible embodiments of the present application, aiming to provide a basic understanding of the present application, but not aiming to identify the key or decisive elements of the present application or limit the scope to be protected.

[0028] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0029] For technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art, detailed discussions may not be made, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in the present application are all prior art, and those skilled in the art can fully implement them without further elaboration. The content protected by the present application does not involve improvements to the internal structure and methods.

[0031] Further, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a motor housing handling device for the equipment manufacturing industry. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the motor housing handling device for the equipment manufacturing industry includes a transport trolley 1, a plurality of vertical storage brackets 2 and a positioning bracket 3. The transport trolley 1 is an AGV trolley (fully automatic guided vehicle), and a magnetic induction sensor, a control unit and a communication unit (all not shown) are provided inside it. The magnetic induction sensor is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the communication unit.

[0033] Magnetic strips can be correspondingly pasted on the ground inside the working workshop. The magnetic induction sensor can sense the position of the magnetic strips and send the detected signals to the control unit, and then establish a data interaction connection with the scheduling system through the communication unit, so as to guide the automatic movement of the transport trolley 1.

[0034] A plurality of storage brackets 2 are parallel to each other and are spaced apart on the top surface of the transport trolley 1. The storage brackets 2 can jointly support the motor housing, so as to stably place the motor housing on the transport trolley 1. The storage brackets 2 are detachably connected to the transport trolley 1. The detachable connection method can be a fastening bolt connection. A protruding and horizontal connecting ear is integrally formed on the foot of each storage bracket 2. The fastening bolt passes through the connecting ear and penetrates into the top surface of the transport trolley 1, and is threadedly connected to the transport trolley 1, so as to fix the storage bracket 2 on the transport trolley 1.

[0035] The number of the storage brackets 2 can be increased or decreased according to the length of the transport trolley 1 or according to the actual length of the handled motor housing, as long as the motor housing can be placed stably. At the same time, the spacing distance between adjacent storage brackets 2 can also be adjusted according to the actual situation to flexibly match the transportation of the motor housing. The detachable connection between the storage bracket 2 and the transport trolley 1 is convenient for subsequent workers to disassemble and assemble the storage bracket 2.

[0036] Furthermore, two sets of spaced positioning plates 21 are provided at the top of each storage bracket 2. The positioning plates 21 are vertically arranged and fixed to the corresponding storage bracket 2 by bolts. The positioning plates 21 on adjacent two storage brackets 2 are distributed in pairs correspondingly. The number of positioning plates 21 provided on the same storage bracket 2 can be increased or decreased according to the actual width of the transport trolley 1, or can also be increased or decreased according to the actual capacity of the inspection area in the factory building, so as to improve the matching degree with other processes in the factory building, which is beneficial to the connection and transition between processes.

[0037] A limiting groove 22 is formed at the top of each set of positioning plates 21. The limiting groove 22 is in a V shape with an upward opening. The mutually corresponding limiting grooves 22 on the positioning plates 21 are on the same horizontal straight line, so that the limiting grooves 22 on the positioning plates 21 can be used to place the motor housing and position the motor housing, enabling two motor housings to be transported at one time and preventing the motor housing from falling during transportation. In the embodiment of the present application, each set of positioning plates 21 is formed by splicing two symmetric small positioning plates. Of course, the positioning plate 21 can also be a whole plate body, and the limiting groove 22 can also be rectangular or other shapes that can form an opening.

[0038] To improve the stability of the motor housing during transportation, an anti-slip block 23 is provided at the opening of each limiting groove 22 of the positioning plate 21. The anti-slip block 23 can be fixed at the opening position of the limiting groove 22 by a fastening bolt. The anti-slip block 23 can be made of polyurethane or rubber material, so that the anti-slip block 23 has good wear resistance and a high friction coefficient.

[0039] When the motor housing is transported, the motor housing is directly placed in the limiting groove 22 of the positioning plate 21, and the outer wall of the motor housing is in direct contact with the anti-slip block 23. The relatively high friction coefficient of the anti-slip block 23 itself can generate a large frictional force with the motor housing, effectively restricting the movement or rotation of the motor housing caused by external forces during transportation, and further improving the transportation stability of the motor housing. The surface of the anti-slip block 23 in contact with the motor housing can be provided with anti-slip textures, so as to further increase the frictional force with the motor housing.

[0040] Furthermore, to improve the obstacle avoidance ability of the transport trolley 1, obstacle avoidance sensors 11 are fixed at the four corners of the transport trolley 1. The obstacle avoidance sensors 11 are electrically connected to the control unit inside the transport trolley 1. The obstacle avoidance sensors 11 can detect whether there are obstacles around in real time during the movement of the transport trolley 1, and timely feedback the detection signal to the control unit, and the control unit controls the drive assembly of the transport trolley 1 to make corresponding obstacle avoidance actions in time.

[0041] Furthermore, anti-collision strips 12 are coated on the side walls around the transport trolley 1. The anti-collision strips 12 can be made of rubber material and protrude from the surface of the side walls of the transport trolley 1. The anti-collision strips 12 can effectively prevent foreign objects around from bumping into the body of the transport trolley 1 and reduce the damage to the transport trolley 1.

[0042] Furthermore, a control touch screen 13 is fixed on one side wall of the transport trolley 1, and the control touch screen 13 is electrically connected to the control unit inside the transport trolley 1. Staff can issue various instructions to the transport trolley 1 through the control touch screen 13, which is convenient for real-time interaction with the transport trolley 1.

[0043] Refer to Figure 3 , the positioning bracket 3 is also fixed on the transport trolley 1 by bolts. The positioning bracket 3 is placed horizontally. One ends of the two struts in the positioning bracket 3 are respectively located on both sides of the transport trolley 1 in the length direction and are fixedly connected to the transport trolley 1. The other end of the positioning bracket 3 extends horizontally along the length direction of the transport trolley 1. The positioning bracket 3 can be made of aluminum profile, effectively reducing the weight of the positioning bracket 3 itself.

[0044] A horizontal extension rod 31 is also provided on the positioning bracket 3. The extension rod 31 is also arranged along the length direction of the transport trolley 1 and is located between two groups of positioning plates 21 on the same storage bracket 2. One end of the extension rod 31 is fixed to the top of one of the storage brackets 2 close to the end of the transport trolley 1, and the other end is fixed to the top of the end of the positioning bracket 3 far from the transport trolley 1, so as to use the extension rod 31 to pull the suspended end of the positioning bracket 3 and make the positioning bracket 3 stable.

[0045] A plurality of positioning pieces 32 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the extension rod 31. The number of the positioning pieces 32 can be increased or decreased according to the actual length of the motor housing. The positioning pieces 32 are detachably connected to the extension rod 31, and the detachable connection method is also bolt connection, so that the staff can adjust the position of the positioning pieces 32 according to the actual length of the motor housing.

[0046] During actual use, after the motor housing is placed on the storage bracket 2, the positioning pieces 32 are fixed corresponding to the end position of one end of the motor housing. When the hoisting equipment hoists the motor housing, it can match and identify with the positioning pieces 32 by using its own position sensor to assist in positioning the hoisting position, thereby improving the accuracy of the tool during hoisting and avoiding the situation of the motor housing falling during hoisting.

[0047] Furthermore, two limiting pieces 33 are fixed to the top of the end of the positioning bracket 3 far from the transport trolley 1, and the two limiting pieces 33 correspond to the positions of two groups of positioning plates 21 on the same storage bracket 2. Since some motor housings are relatively long, in order to prevent the motor housing from falling, one end of the motor housing is tightened by the limiting pieces 33 to limit the motor housing.

[0048] Refer to Figure 4 Figure 4 , a radio frequency identification device 4 (abbreviation: RFID) is fixed at the bottom of the transport trolley 1. The radio frequency identification device 4 can identify the positioning marks on the ground and transmit signals to the control unit. When the transport trolley 1 needs to perform precise positioning, corresponding positioning marks can be placed on the ground. When the transport trolley 1 travels to the point where the radio frequency identification device 4 detects the positioning mark signal, the control unit controls the transport trolley 1 to stop traveling, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the transport trolley 1. Since the RFID device and its functions are all prior art, they will not be elaborated here.

[0049]

[0049] When unloading the motor housing, the motor housing needs to be placed in the inspection area in the factory building. The capacity of the inspection area is set to two motor housings, corresponding to the handling quantity of the transport trolley 1, so that the transport trolley 1 can pick up two motor housings at one time. When the transport trolley 1 walks along the magnetic strip and approaches the inspection area to pick up goods, the traveling speed of the transport trolley 1 decreases. The transport trolley 1 stops at the inspection area, and the motor housing is manually transported to the storage bracket 2 by the overhead crane. The worker notifies the transport trolley 1 that the loading is completed through the MES system (i.e., the manufacturing execution system); the transport trolley 1 automatically plans the route through the RCS scheduling system (i.e., the robot control system) to transport the motor housing to the warehousing shelf area. The MES system issues a task to the numerical control overhead crane, and the PLC controls the numerical control overhead crane to lift the motor housing from the storage bracket 2 to the warehousing shelf.

[0050]

[0050] When the workshop production requires motor housings, the MES system issues a production task and at the same time issues a handling task to the transport trolley 1 to the RCS scheduling system. The RCS scheduling system schedules the transport trolley 1 to automatically travel to the designated position. The RCS scheduling system notifies the MES system that the transport trolley 1 has reached the designated position. The MES system issues a task to the numerical control overhead crane, and the numerical control overhead crane automatically lifts the motor housing to the storage bracket 2 of the transport trolley 1; the transport trolley 1 automatically transports the motor housing to the designated position at the workstation. The RCS scheduling system notifies the MES system that the transport trolley 1 has reached the designated position. The MES system issues a task to the numerical control overhead crane, and the numerical control overhead crane automatically lifts the motor housing on the transport trolley 1 to the workstation machine table. At the same time, the task of the transport trolley 1 is completed and it returns to the standby point.

[0051]

[0051] The implementation principle of the motor housing handling equipment in the equipment manufacturing industry in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The transport trolley 1 is used to handle the motor housing. The transport trolley 1 can transport the motor housing along the specified magnetic strip route, thereby realizing the automatic transportation of the motor housing. Workers only need to place the motor housing on the transport trolley 1, reducing the repetitive operations of manual participation in handling, reducing the chance of workers coming into contact with ultra-long workpieces and special-shaped items, and thus reducing the risk of workers being injured; at the same time, the positioning piece 32 can be matched and identified with the position sensor on the overhead crane device, improving the positioning accuracy of the lifting position of the overhead crane device.
