Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a multifunctional conveying system, belonging to the technical field of conveying equipment. Background Art
[0002] In order to realize the automation and digitalization of production lines, AGV transfer vehicles, pallets, hoppers, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, roller conveyors and other turnover equipment are currently commonly used in the material transfer process. The clean area for pharmaceutical production refers to an area where factors such as dust, microorganisms, temperature, and humidity in the environment need to be controlled during the production process. Materials must pass through an air shower room when entering the clean area from the general area. The purpose is to blow away particles, microorganisms, etc. suspended on the surface of people or objects through high-speed airflow in the air shower room to achieve the purpose of cleaning and purification. If you want to achieve full-process automated unmanned transportation in the workshop, the air shower room must be equipped with a conveyor line. Materials of different properties usually need to be transported on different media such as pallets and hoppers. For example, the production process of Liuwei Dihuang Pills requires raw material powder and inner packaging wax pill shells. After powdering in the pre-treatment workshop, the drug powder is loaded into a hopper. An AGV transports the hopper to the cleanroom, where it is directly placed on the air shower conveyor line and enters the clean area for pill making. Wax pill shells are transported to the cleanroom on pallets in the warehouse by AGV transporters. After removing the outer packaging, they are transferred to empty pallets sent by the air shower conveyor line. They then enter the air shower for disinfection and finally enter the clean area for pill making. A single medium and conveyor drive mechanism cannot solve the problem of transporting different types of materials. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways other than those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown in , the multifunctional conveying system provided by the present invention includes a movable hopper 100 , a tray 200 and a chain conveying mechanism 300 .
[0029] Specific as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , the chain conveyor mechanism 300 includes a frame 310 and two conveyor chains 320. The two conveyor chains 320 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the left and right sides of the frame 310. The conveying surfaces of the two conveyor chains 320 are flush, and all parts of the frame 310 between the two conveyor chains 320 are lower than the conveying surface of the conveyor chains 320. Typically, the frame 310 includes two parallel support beams arranged in spaced apart relationship. The two conveyor chains 320 are respectively mounted on the two support beams, and each support beam is supported on a foundation by a plurality of columns. To further enhance the mechanical strength of the frame 310, adjacent columns may be connected and reinforced by connecting beams.
[0030] Further, such as Figure 9 As shown in , the multifunctional conveying system provided by the present invention further includes an AGV forklift 400 , which is used to transfer the mobile hopper 100 and the pallet 200 .
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the mobile hopper 100 includes a hopper body 110 and a support frame, and a set of moving wheels 120 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the support frame. The bottom of the hopper body 110 is a discharge port, and the discharge port is positioned relatively low so as not to interfere with the operation of the conveying structure. Figure 7 As shown in FIG, the distance D1 between the two sets of moving wheels 120 in the present invention is greater than the distance L between the two conveyor chains 320, so that the two sets of moving wheels 120 can be arranged on the outside of the two conveyor chains 320 and the two sides of the support frame can be supported on the two conveyor chains 320. The discharge port of the hopper body 110 is located in the space between the two conveyor chains 320 and will not interfere with the operation of the conveyor chains 320. The synchronous operation of the conveyor chains 320 on both sides can enable the mobile hopper 100 to be transported.
[0032] Specifically, the multifunctional conveying system provided by the present invention comprises a support frame including a bottom frame 131 and four support legs 132. The tops of the four support legs 132 are fixed to the four sides of the hopper body 110, and the bottoms of the four support legs 132 are fixed to the bottom frame 131. The moving wheels 120 are provided at the bottom of the bottom frame 131. Typically, two moving wheels 120 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom frame 131, respectively.
[0033] Furthermore, a set of fork frames 140 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the bottom frame 131. The fork frames 140 are used to insert the fork arms of the AGV forklift 400. Typically, two fork frames 140 are respectively provided on each side of the bottom frame 131. The bottom frame 131 is a square frame structure formed by connecting four crossbeams.
[0034] During operation, the AGV forklift 400 inserts the fork arm into the forking frame 140, then the fork arm rises to fork the mobile hopper 100, and the AGV forklift 400 transports the mobile hopper 100 to the top of the two conveyor chains 320; then the fork arm descends, so that the bottom frame 131 is supported on the two conveyor chains 320, and the AGV forklift 400 leaves, completing the placement of the mobile hopper 100.
[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG, the tray 200 includes a tray body 210 and two support beams 220 arranged in parallel and spaced apart at the bottom of the tray body 210. Figure 8As shown in , the distance D2 between the two support beams 220 is equal to the distance L between the two conveyor chains 320, so that the two support beams 220 can be supported on the two conveyor chains 320 respectively. During operation, the AGV forklift 400 inserts the fork arm from a position away from the two support beams 220 to the bottom of the pallet 200. The fork arm then rises to fork the pallet 200 and the AGV forklift 400 transports the pallet 200 to the top of the two conveyor chains 320. The fork arm then descends, allowing the two support beams 220 to be supported on the two conveyor chains 320. The AGV forklift 400 then leaves, completing the placement of the pallet 200.
[0036] It can be seen that the multifunctional conveying system provided by the present invention realizes the conveyance of two different forms of carrying media, the mobile hopper 100 and the pallet 200, on the same chain conveyor mechanism 300 by rationally designing the structure and size relationship of the mobile hopper 100, the pallet 200 and the chain conveyor mechanism 300, and the overall structure is simple and compact.
[0037] The multifunctional conveying system provided by the present invention also includes a protective frame 500, which includes two baffles 510 arranged on the outside of the two conveyor chains 320. The length of the baffles 510 is parallel to the conveyor chains 320. The distance between each baffle 510 and the corresponding conveyor chain 320 is equal, and the distance between the two baffles 510 is no less than the conveying width of the mobile hopper 100 and the tray 200. In this arrangement, when the mobile hopper 100 or the tray 200 is conveyed, the left and right sides of the mobile hopper 100 or the tray 200 can be protected and limited by the baffles 510, preventing the mobile hopper 100 or the tray 200 from falling off the conveyor chains 320.
[0038] Each side baffle 510 is fixed to the frame 310 via an L-shaped mounting bracket 520. In addition, in another preferred embodiment, the height of the frame 310 can be adjusted, and the distance between each side baffle 510 and the corresponding side conveyor chain 320 can be adjusted. The purpose is to be able to adjust the frame as needed when the hopper and tray size are expanded in the future.
[0039] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "disposed," "installed," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; they may refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they may refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0040] The above specific implementation methods cannot be used as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any replacement, improvement or transformation made to the implementation methods of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
