[0058] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0059] In the following description of different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the present invention and in which different exemplary structures, systems and steps that can implement various aspects of the present invention are shown by way of example. It should be understood that other specific schemes of components, structures, exemplary devices, systems and steps can be used, and structural and functional modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Moreover, although the terms "above", "between", "within" and the like may be used in this specification to describe different exemplary features and elements of the present invention, these terms are used herein only for convenience, for example according to the directions of the examples described in the accompanying drawings. Nothing in this specification should be construed as requiring a specific three-dimensional orientation of the structure to fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0060] It is understood that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or components inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0061] Relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element, as shown in the figures. It should be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation shown in the figures.

Thus, the exemplary term "lower" can include both "lower" and "top" orientations, and the term "bottom" can include both "bottom" and "top" orientations, depending on the particular orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in a figure is turned over, the element described as being "lower" or "bottom" of other elements will be oriented as being "upper" or "top" of the other elements. Thus, the exemplary terms "bottom" or "below" can include both "upper" and "lower" orientations.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the transferring device 1 provided by the utility model is mainly used to move the goods 4 to be transported between conveyor lines. The conveyor lines of the goods 4 can be divided into the main conveyor line 2 and the branch conveyor line 3. The transferring device 1 can be set on the main conveyor line 2 or on the branch conveyor line 3. The transferring device 1 set on the main conveyor line 2 can move the goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3, and the transferring device 1 set on the branch conveyor line 3 can move the goods 4 on the branch conveyor line 3 to the main conveyor line 2. Figure 1 Also shown is a position sensor 121, which is mainly used to detect whether the goods 4 are transported to the designated position on the conveyor line.

[0063] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the transfer device 1 of the present invention includes: a tilting device 10, a transfer device 11 and a control system 12. The tilting device 10 includes a tilting frame 101, a first connecting rod 102, a second connecting rod 103 and a tilting platform 104. One end of the first connecting rod 102 is rotatably connected to the tilting frame 101, and the other end is rotatably connected to the tilting platform 104. One end of the second connecting rod 103 is rotatably connected to the tilting frame 101, and the other end is rotatably connected to the tilting platform 104. The tilting frame 101 is connected to the conveyor line. The transfer device 11 includes a transfer frame 111 and a transfer platform 112. The transfer platform 112 is arranged on the transfer frame 111 and moves the goods 4 between the conveyor lines. The transfer frame 111 is connected to the tilting platform 104. The control system 12 controls the tilting device 10 and the transfer device 11 to move the goods 4.

[0064] The transfer device 1 of the present invention is arranged on the main conveyor line 2 and is used to move the goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3. Figure 2It can be seen that the main conveyor line 2 is set horizontally, while the branch conveyor line 3 is set horizontally and inclined. The main conveyor line 2 includes a main conveyor roller 21 and a main conveyor bracket 22, and the inclined frame 101 of the transfer device 1 is fixed to the main conveyor bracket 22. The branch conveyor line 3 includes a branch conveyor roller 31 and a branch conveyor bracket (not shown in the figure). The goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 are transported by the rotation of the main conveyor roller 21, and the goods 4 on the branch conveyor line 3 are transported by the rotation of the branch conveyor roller 31. The transfer device 1 is mainly used to move the goods 4 on the main conveyor roller 21 to the branch conveyor roller 31.

[0065] The transfer device 1 of the present invention is provided with a tilting device 10. A transfer device 11 is mounted on a tilting platform 104 of the tilting device 10. When a horizontal inclination occurs between the main conveyor line 2 and the branch conveyor line 3, the tilting device 10 tilts and lifts the transfer device 11, ensuring that the transfer platform 112 of the transfer device 11 and the branch conveyor line 3 are aligned and aligned. This prevents damage to the goods 4 during movement and prevents jamming of the conveyor line. The use of two connecting rods allows for adjustable tilting of the tilting platform 104, resulting in a simple structure and low cost.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the tilting device 10 further includes a tilt drive structure 105 that drives the first connecting rod 102 to rotate relative to the tilting frame 101. The tilt drive structure 105 is disposed on the pivot connecting the first connecting rod 102 and the tilting frame 101. The first connecting rod 102 acts as the active connecting rod to tilt the tilting device 10, which is more labor-saving. The second connecting rod 103 is connected to the tilting frame 101 via a rotating shaft 106. Driven by the first connecting rod 102, the second connecting rod 103 can rotate about the rotating shaft 106.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 are of unequal lengths. The tilt drive structure 105 drives the first connecting rod 102 to rotate relative to the tilt frame 101. The first connecting rod 102 drives the second connecting rod 103 to rotate relative to the tilt frame 101, thereby causing the tilt platform 104 to tilt at a certain angle relative to the tilt frame 101. In this embodiment, the length of the first connecting rod 102 is greater than the length of the second connecting rod 103. In other embodiments, the length of the first connecting rod 102 may be less than the length of the second connecting rod 103.

[0068] In this embodiment, the transfer device 11 includes a transfer drive structure 113, which is connected to the transfer frame 111 and drives the transfer platform 112 to move the goods 4. The transfer drive structure 113 can be composed of a motor and an output wheel driven by the motor. The transfer drive structure 113 is mainly used to drive the transfer platform 112 to move the goods 4 on the conveyor line.

[0069] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the transfer platform 112 includes a moving belt or chain 1121, and the transfer drive structure 113 drives the moving belt or chain 1121 to move the goods 4. If the transfer platform 112 is a moving belt, the output wheel of the transfer drive structure 113 can drive the moving belt through friction with the moving belt, thereby moving the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3. If the transfer platform 112 is a moving chain, the output wheel of the transfer drive structure 113 engages the moving chain to drive the moving chain, thereby moving the goods 4.

[0070] In this embodiment, the transfer platform 112 includes a plurality of supporting rollers 1122, which are fixed to the transfer frame 111. The supporting rollers 1122 support the moving belt or moving chain 1121. The setting of the supporting rollers 1122 provides support for the goods 4 and the moving belt or moving chain 1121, so that the moving belt or moving chain 1121 can form a platform for placing the goods 4, and some of the supporting rollers 1122 can also tension or adjust the moving belt or moving chain 1121. There are usually multiple supporting rollers 1122, and the number of supporting rollers 1122 can be adjusted according to the actual size, and the setting position of the supporting rollers 1122 can also be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to achieve the principle of smooth and safe operation of the moving belt or moving chain 1121.

[0071] In this embodiment, the moving belt or moving chain 1121 is a closed structure, and the transfer drive structure 113 is arranged on one side of the moving belt or moving chain 1121. The closed structure makes the transfer platform 112 small in size, uses less material, and operates stably when moving the goods 4.

[0072] Figure 4 Shown Figure 2 When the transfer device 1 starts to move the goods 4, Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting rod 102 of the tilting device 10 rotates, thereby tilting the tilting platform 104, driving the transferring platform 112 of the transferring device 11 to tilt. When the plane of the transferring platform 112 and the plane of the branch conveyor roller 31 are coplanar, the transferring device 11 moves the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3.

[0073] Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 The internal structure of the transfer device 1 in the figure shows that when one end of the transfer platform 112 is lifted and the plane of the transfer platform 112 is coplanar with the plane of the branch conveyor roller 31, the moving belt or moving chain 1121 of the transfer device 11 moves under the drive of the transfer drive structure 113 to move the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3.

[0074] Figure 6The schematic diagram of the transfer device 1 of the present invention is shown, in which each structure is simplified. Among them, position one P1 is the position of the first connecting rod 102 before the goods 4 are moved. Position two P2 and position three P3 are both the positions of the first connecting rod 102 when the goods 4 are started to be moved. The angles required for the first connecting rod 102 to rotate in position two P2 and position three P3 are different, corresponding to the different inclination angles between the branch conveyor line 3 and the main conveyor line 2. The transfer device 1 of the present invention can move goods 4 between conveyor lines with different inclination angles. Figure 6 The limit sensor 122 shown in FIG. 1 is part of the control system 12 and is primarily used to detect whether the tilting device 10 has tilted to a specified position, such as position 2 (P2), or in some other embodiments, position P3. When the limit sensor 122 detects that the tilting device 10 has tilted to a specified position, in this embodiment, the rotational position of the first connecting rod 102, the control system 12 controls the first connecting rod 102 to stop rotating, and the transfer platform 112 of the transfer device 11 begins to move the cargo 4.

[0075] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the transfer device 1 of the present invention is mainly designed using the principle of a four-bar linkage, which can achieve any angle of inclination of the transfer platform 112 and is used to move goods 4 between mutually horizontally inclined conveyor lines.

[0076] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The control system 12 of the transfer device 1 of the present invention includes a host computer (not shown in the figure), a position sensor 121 and a limit sensor 122. The host computer starts the transfer device 1 and receives signals from the position sensor 121 and the limit sensor 122 to control the actions of the tilting device 10 and the transfer device 11.

[0077] Figure 7 Another embodiment of the transfer device 1 of the present invention is shown. Figures 1 to 6 Therefore, in the following description of the transfer equipment 1 of the other embodiment, the description of the transfer equipment 1 is not repeated. Figures 1 to 6 In addition, Figures 1 to 6 The same reference numerals are used for the same structures as those of the transfer equipment 1 described in the embodiment of FIG. Figures 1 to 6 The difference between the transfer device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. Among them, the transfer device 1 of the other embodiment mainly differs in the active link in the four-link structure.

[0078] like Figure 7As shown, the tilt drive structure 105 drives the second link 103 to rotate relative to the tilt frame 101. The tilt drive structure 105 is disposed on the pivot connecting the second link 103 and the tilt frame 101. The second link 103 serves as the active link to achieve the tilting of the tilting device 10. The first link 102 and the tilt frame 101 are connected by a rotating shaft 106. The first link 102 can rotate about the rotating shaft 106 driven by the second link 103.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 are of unequal lengths. The tilt drive structure 105 drives the second connecting rod 103 to rotate relative to the tilt frame 101, and the second connecting rod 103 drives the first connecting rod 102 to rotate relative to the tilt frame 101, thereby tilting the tilt platform 104 at a certain angle relative to the tilt frame 101. In this embodiment, the length of the first connecting rod 102 is greater than the length of the second connecting rod 103. In other embodiments, the length of the first connecting rod 102 may be less than the length of the second connecting rod 103.

[0080] in Figure 7 In the embodiment, the limit sensor 122 of the control system 12 needs to detect whether the second connecting rod 103 rotates to the specified position.

[0081] Figure 8 The third embodiment of the transfer device 1 of the present invention is shown. Figures 1 to 6 Therefore, in the following description of the transfer equipment 1 of the third embodiment, the description of the transfer equipment 1 is not repeated. Figures 1 to 6 In addition, Figures 1 to 6 The same reference numerals are used for the same structures as those of the transfer equipment 1 described in the embodiment of FIG. Figures 1 to 6 The difference between the transfer device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention is described. Among them, the transfer device 1 of the third embodiment mainly comprises the first link 102 and the second link 103 in the four-link structure and Figures 1 to 6 The implementation methods are different.

[0082] like Figure 8As shown, the tilting drive structure 105 drives the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 to rotate relative to the tilting frame 101. The first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 are of equal length. The tilting drive structure 105 includes a first drive structure 1051 and a second drive structure 1052. The first drive structure 1051 drives the first connecting rod 102, and the second drive structure 1052 drives the second connecting rod 103. The first drive structure 1051 and the second drive structure 1052 are independent of each other. By making the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 of equal length and using independent drive structures for the two connecting rods, the two connecting rods can rotate to different angles under the drive of their respective drive structures to achieve different tilt angles of the tilting platform 104 of the tilting device 10. Different tilting directions can also be selected according to actual conditions to achieve bidirectional movement of the cargo 4.

[0083] In this embodiment, the limit sensor 122 of the control system 12 needs to detect whether the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 are rotated to their respective designated positions.

[0084] In other embodiments, the lengths of both the first and second connecting rods are adjustable. For example, the first connecting rod may be configured as a telescopic rod, with the length of the first connecting rod being adjustable by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod may include a rod body and a telescopic tube. The telescopic tube can telescope relative to the rod body to adjust the overall length of the telescopic rod. The length of the first connecting rod may be fixed by a fixing structure such as a fixing nut or a fixing bolt. The fixing nut or fixing bolt may be disposed at the end of the telescopic tube. When the telescopic tube is extended to the appropriate length relative to the rod body, the fixing nut or fixing bolt is tightened to secure the position of the telescopic tube relative to the rod body. The second connecting rod may also adopt a structure similar to the first connecting rod to achieve adjustable length.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the length of the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod can be adjusted. The first connecting rod or the second connecting rod can adopt a structure similar to the above telescopic rod, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The figure shows the situation of moving the goods 4 from the branch conveyor line 3 to the main conveyor line 2. Figure 9 This is the situation when the transfer device 1 has not started to move the goods 4. Figure 10 This is the situation when the tilting device 10 of the transfer equipment 1 lifts the transfer platform 112 to be coplanar with the plane of the main conveyor line 2 and starts to move the goods 4.

[0087] It should be noted that the transfer devices 1 shown in the drawings and described in this specification are only a few examples of the many types of transfer devices 1 that can employ the principles of the present invention. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention are in no way limited to any detail or any component of the transfer device 1 shown in the drawings or described in this specification.

[0088] The above is a detailed description of several exemplary embodiments of the transfer device 1 proposed in the present invention. The following will provide an exemplary description of the working process of the transfer device 1 proposed in the present invention.

[0089] Combined with attachment Figures 1 to 6 After the transfer device 1 receives the instruction to move the goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3, the upper computer sends an instruction to the position sensor 121. When the position sensor 121 detects the goods 4, the position sensor 121 sends a signal that the goods 4 are in place. When the goods 4 are transported to the top of the transfer device 1, the tilting drive structure 105 of the tilting device 10 drives the first connecting rod 102 to rotate an angle, thereby tilting the tilting platform 104 an angle. The transfer frame 111 of the transfer device 11 is connected to the tilting platform 104, so that the transfer device 11 tilts as a whole, causing the transfer platform 112 to also tilt an angle. When the first connecting rod 102 rotates to the required position, the plane of the transfer platform 112 is coplanar with the plane of the branch conveyor line 3. The limit sensor 122 detects the position of the first connecting rod 102. After sending a signal, the moving belt or moving chain 1121 of the transfer platform 112 begins to move under the drive of the transfer drive structure 113, moving the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3.

[0090] Figure 7 The working process of the implementation method is as follows: after the transferring device 1 receives the instruction to move the goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3, the upper computer sends an instruction to the position sensor 121. When the position sensor 121 detects the goods 4, the position sensor 121 sends a signal that the goods 4 are in place. When the goods 4 are transported to the top of the transferring device 1, the tilting drive structure 105 of the tilting device 10 drives the second connecting rod 103 to rotate an angle, thereby causing the tilting platform 104 to tilt an angle. The transferring frame 111 of the transferring device 11 is connected to the tilting platform 104, so that the transferring device 11 tilts as a whole, causing the transferring platform 112 to also tilt an angle. When the second connecting rod 103 rotates to the required position, the plane of the transfer platform 112 is coplanar with the plane of the branch conveyor line 3. The limit sensor 122 detects the position of the second connecting rod 103 and sends a signal. The moving belt or moving chain 1121 of the transfer platform 112 starts to move under the drive of the transfer drive structure 113, moving the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3.

[0091] Figure 8The working process of the implementation method is as follows: after the transferring device 1 receives the instruction to move the goods 4 on the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3, the upper computer sends an instruction to the position sensor 121. When the position sensor 121 detects the goods 4, the position sensor 121 sends a signal that the goods 4 are in place. When the goods 4 are transported to the top of the transferring device 1, the first driving structure 1051 of the tilting driving structure 105 of the tilting device 10 drives the first connecting rod 102 to rotate an angle, and the second driving structure 1052 drives the second connecting rod 103 to rotate another angle, thereby tilting the tilting platform 104, and the transferring frame 111 of the transferring device 11 is connected to the tilting platform 104, so that the transferring device 11 tilts as a whole, causing the transferring platform 112 to also tilt. When the first link 102 and the second link 103 are rotated to their respective required positions, the plane of the transfer platform 112 is coplanar with the plane of the branch conveyor line 3, and the limit sensor 122 detects the respective positions of the first link 102 and the second link 103. After sending a signal, the moving belt or moving chain 1121 of the transfer platform 112 starts to move under the drive of the transfer drive structure 113, moving the goods 4 from the main conveyor line 2 to the branch conveyor line 3.

[0092] Figures 9 and 10 The implementation method is only to move the goods 4 of the branch conveyor line 3 to the main conveyor line 2, and its working process is the same as Figures 1 to 6 The embodiments shown are similar and will not be described again here.

[0093] In summary, the transfer device proposed in the present invention includes a tilting device, a transfer device and a control system.

One end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the tilting frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the tilting platform. One end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the tilting frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the tilting platform. The tilting frame is connected to the conveyor line. The transfer device includes a transfer frame and a transfer platform. The transfer platform is set on the transfer frame and moves the goods between the conveyor lines. The transfer frame is connected to the tilting platform. The control system controls the tilting device and the transfer device to move the goods. By setting up the tilting device, the transfer device can be tilted as a whole, and the tilting angle is adjustable, which can avoid problems such as damage to the goods and jamming of the conveyor lines when moving goods between mutually inclined conveyor lines. The use of two connecting rods to achieve the adjustable tilting angle of the tilting platform has a simple structure, low cost, easy operation and high stability in use. The control system controls the tilting device and the transfer device to move the goods, which can realize automated production.
