Abstract

The utility model provides a jacking mechanism and a transportation device. The jacking mechanism comprises a base, a jacking assembly and a separation assembly. The partition assembly includes a partition driving member and a partition member. When the partition piece is located at the avoiding height, the materials are allowed to move to the position above the jacking assembly from the first side of the jacking assembly in the conveying direction so that the jacking assembly can bear the materials and drive the materials to ascend and descend; and when the separator is located at the separation height, the separator prevents the materials from moving to the position above the jacking assembly from the first side of the jacking assembly in the conveying direction. Each time when the previous group of materials moves to the position above the jacking assembly, the partition piece can prevent the next group of materials from moving to the jacking assembly so as to ensure that the jacking assembly can only bear the materials located above the jacking assembly currently and the group of materials ascend and descend, and the situation that other groups of materials interfere with the materials currently executing the ascending and descending action is avoided; and the risk that the materials are damaged due to accidents is reduced, and the conveying safety is improved.

Description

[0002] Currently, semiconductor and photovoltaic materials are widely used in industries such as electronics and new energy. These materials typically require chemical processing before they can be used in products, such as the use of ALD (atomic layer deposition) technology to process sheet materials. During the solar cell production process, transport equipment is often required to transport materials.

[0003] In related technologies, transport devices typically include an assembly line mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The assembly line mechanism is used to sequentially transport multiple groups of materials in a specified direction, and the lifting mechanism is used to dock with the assembly line mechanism. When the assembly line mechanism transports materials above the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism can lift the materials from the assembly line mechanism so that the materials can be removed by other devices. When the lifting mechanism carries materials from other devices, the lifting mechanism can also lower the materials and place them on the assembly line mechanism, thus achieving material transfer. However, this technology has the problem that materials are easily damaged and the transportation safety is poor. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following specific implementation methods will further illustrate the present application in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a centrally arranged element at the same time. When an element is considered to be "set on" another element, it may be directly set on the other element or there may be a centrally arranged element at the same time. In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like 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, or it can be a communication between the two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The directional descriptions in this embodiment, such as "up", "down", "top", "bottom", etc., are all referenced to the direction of the product in the actual usage scenario.

[0031] References to "embodiments" herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] Currently, ALD (atomic layer deposition) technology is widely used in the processing of semiconductor and photovoltaic materials. Numerous related equipment is already available in the industry, allowing users to select the appropriate equipment for specific processing needs. In automated processing systems, transport devices are required to transport materials and enable automatic loading and unloading.

[0033] A transport device typically consists of an assembly line mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The assembly line mechanism is used to transport materials in a specified direction, while the lifting mechanism is used to connect to the assembly line mechanism. When the assembly line mechanism transports materials above the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism can lift the materials off the assembly line mechanism so that they can be removed by other devices. When the lifting mechanism carries materials from other devices, it can also lower the materials and place them on the assembly line mechanism, thus achieving material transfer.

[0034] In automated assembly line transportation, the assembly line mechanism continuously conveys multiple groups of materials, allowing them to pass over a lifting mechanism in sequence. During this process, the subsequent group of materials may affect the lifting action of the previous group of materials, causing unexpected situations. For example, if the previous group of materials has not yet completed the lifting action, the subsequent group of materials may move toward the lifting mechanism, causing a collision. In another example, if the previous group of materials moves to the lifting mechanism, due to the close distance between the two groups of materials, one side of the subsequent group of materials may also move to the lifting mechanism, causing the lifting mechanism to lift one side of the subsequent group of materials. This increases the risk of unexpected damage to the materials and reduces the problem of poor transportation safety.

[0035] To this end, the embodiments of the present application provide a lifting mechanism and a transportation device, which can reduce the risk of material damage and improve transportation safety.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded view of the lifting mechanism and materials provided for this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the state of the transport device provided in this application when transporting multiple materials.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 100 can be applied to a transport device 1000. The transport device 1000 can include the lifting mechanism 100 and an assembly line mechanism 200. The assembly line mechanism 200 is used to transport material 300 along the conveying direction (i.e., the positive direction of the X-axis in the figure). The lifting mechanism 100 is used to carry and drive the material 300 up and down to facilitate the transfer of material 300 between the assembly line mechanism 200 and other devices.

[0038] For example, when the jacking mechanism 100 does not carry the material 300 and the assembly line mechanism 200 transports the material 300 to the top of the jacking mechanism 100, the jacking mechanism 100 can carry and drive the material 300 to rise so that the material 300 can be separated from the assembly line mechanism 200. At this time, other devices can take the material 300 from the jacking mechanism 100 to perform processing actions such as straightening the material 300 and moving the material 300 horizontally.

[0039] After other devices have completed their operations, the other devices can place the material 300 back on the lifting mechanism 100. The lifting mechanism 100 can carry and drive the material 300 down until the material 300 is placed on the assembly line mechanism 200, so as to put the material 300 back into the assembly line mechanism 200, and the assembly line mechanism 200 can continue to transport the material 300.

[0040] In this embodiment, material 300 can be a single carrier 301 or a carrier 301 loaded with sheet materials. Sheet materials are raw materials for solar cells, including but not limited to silicon wafers and silicon carbide wafers. Carrier 301 is a structure suitable for carrying sheet materials, including but not limited to a tray or a material box. Multiple sheet materials can be stacked and loaded onto carrier 301. Carrier 301 has a length direction and a width direction, with the conveying direction parallel to the width direction.

[0041] The bottom of the carrier 301 is provided with positioning holes 302, which can be plugged into an external positioning structure. For example, the number of positioning holes 302 is greater than or equal to 2, and the plurality of positioning holes 302 are spaced apart.

[0042] The side of the carrier 301 is provided with a docking hole 303, which can accommodate an external limiting structure. Exemplarily, the carrier 301 is provided with a docking hole 303 on both sides in the conveying direction.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the state of the jacking mechanism provided in this application when jacking materials from a top-down perspective.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the assembly line mechanism 200 includes multiple synchronous belt assemblies 201, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The multiple synchronous belt assemblies 201 are used to convey materials 300 along a conveying direction. The conveying direction is parallel to the horizontal direction, and the synchronous belt assemblies 201 can carry and drive the materials 300 from one end of the synchronous belt assembly 201 to the other end along the conveying direction.

[0045] For example, the number of synchronous belt assemblies 201 is two, and the lifting mechanism 100 is located between the two synchronous belt assemblies 201. In actual application, the two synchronous belt assemblies 201 support the ends of the material 300 to transport the material 300 horizontally, and the lifting mechanism 100 can support the middle of the material 300 to lift the material 300 vertically.

[0046] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the jacking mechanism provided in this application.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the lifting mechanism 100 includes a base 10, a lifting assembly 20, a partition assembly 30, a blocking assembly 40, and an adjustment assembly 50. The lifting assembly 20 is disposed on the base 10 and has a first side 211 and a second side 212 spaced apart along the conveying direction. The partition assembly 30 is located on the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20, and the blocking assembly 40 is located on the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20. The lifting assembly 20 is located between the partition assembly 30 and the blocking assembly 40.

[0048] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the action of the jacking assembly provided in this application switching from a descending state to an ascending state.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the jacking assembly 20 is used to carry the material 300. The jacking assembly 20 has an ascending state and a descending state. The jacking assembly 20 drives the material 300 to rise and fall by switching between the ascending state and the descending state.

[0050] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the action of the partition component provided in this application switching from the partition state to the avoidance state.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the partition assembly 30 is used to prevent material 300 from moving above the lifting assembly 20. Specifically, the partition assembly 30 has a partitioning state and a avoidance state. When the partition assembly 30 is in the partitioning state, the partition assembly 30 prevents material 300 from moving from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to above the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction. When the partition assembly 30 is in the avoidance state, the partition assembly 30 allows material 300 to move from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to above the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction.

[0052] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the action of the blocking component provided in this application switching from the blocking state to the yielding state.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the blocking assembly 40 is used to position the material 300 above the lifting assembly 20. Specifically, the blocking assembly 40 has a blocking state and a yielding state. When the blocking assembly 40 is in the blocking state, the blocking assembly 40 prevents the material 300 from moving from the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction and out of the top of the lifting assembly 20. When the blocking assembly 40 is in the yielding state, the blocking assembly 40 allows the material 300 to move from the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction and out of the top of the lifting assembly 20.

[0054] The adjustment assembly 50 is disposed between the blocking assembly 40 and the base 10 and is used to adjust the position of the blocking assembly 40 relative to the base 10 in an adjustment direction (ie, the X-axis direction in the figure).

[0055] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, for ease of understanding, the working mode of the lifting mechanism 100 is exemplified below using an application scenario. In the application scenario of this example, the assembly line mechanism 200 can convey multiple groups of materials 300 in sequence along the conveying direction. Each group of materials 300 includes a carrier 301 and multiple sheet materials loaded on the carrier 301. The multiple groups of materials 300 can be divided into spaced materials 300a, 300b and material 300c in sequence according to the conveying direction.

[0056] First, the lifting assembly 20 is in a descending state, the partition assembly 30 is in a avoiding state, the blocking assembly 40 is in a blocking state, and each group of materials 300 of the assembly line mechanism 200 moves along the conveying direction;

[0057] When the material 300 a moves from the first side 211 of the jacking assembly 20 to above the jacking assembly 20 , the blocking assembly 40 blocks the material 300 a from further moving, so as to position the material 300 a above the jacking assembly 20 .

[0058] When material 300a is positioned above the lifting assembly 20, the partition assembly 30 switches from the avoidance state to the separation state. The partition assembly 30 blocks the materials 300a and 300b, thereby preventing 300b from moving from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to the top of the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction. At this time, the lifting assembly 20 can switch from the descending state to the ascending state to carry and drive the material 300a out of the assembly line mechanism 200, so that the material 300a can be removed by other devices.

[0059] After the jacking mechanism 100 carries the material 300a again, the jacking component 20 can switch from the ascending state to the descending state, the blocking component 40 switches from the blocking state to the yielding state, and the partitioning component 30 switches from the partitioning state to the avoidance state, and each group of materials 300 of the assembly line mechanism 200 continues to move along the conveying direction.

[0060] When the material 300a moves out of the top of the lifting assembly 20 from the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20, the blocking assembly 40 switches from the yielding state to the blocking state.

[0061] When 300 b moves from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to above the lifting assembly 20 , the blocking assembly 40 blocks 300 b from further moving, so as to position 300 b above the lifting assembly 20 .

[0062] When 300b is positioned above the lifting assembly 20, the partition assembly 30 switches from the avoidance state to the separation state. The partition assembly 30 is blocked between 300b and the material 300c, thereby preventing the material 300c from moving from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to the top of the lifting assembly 20 along the conveying direction. At this time, the lifting assembly 20 can switch from the descending state to the ascending state to carry and drive 300b out of the assembly line mechanism 200, so that the material 300c can be removed by other devices.

[0063] After the lifting mechanism 100 carries 300b again, the lifting component 20 can switch from the rising state to the falling state, the blocking component 40 switches from the blocking state to the yielding state, and the partitioning component 30 switches from the partitioning state to the avoidance state, and each group of materials 300 of the assembly line mechanism 200 continues to move along the conveying direction.

[0064] When 300b moves out of the top of the lifting assembly 20 from the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20, the blocking assembly 40 switches from the yielding state to the blocking state.

[0065] When the material 300 c moves from the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20 to above the lifting assembly 20 , the blocking assembly 40 blocks the material 300 c from further moving, so as to position the material 300 c above the lifting assembly 20 .

[0066] When material 300c is positioned above the lifting assembly 20, the partition assembly 30 switches from the avoidance state to the separation state. At this point, the lifting assembly 20 switches from the descending state to the ascending state, carrying and driving material 300c away from the assembly line mechanism 200, allowing material 300c to be removed by other devices. And so on.

[0067] It is worth noting that in the above example, each group of materials 300 includes a carrier 301. In other embodiments, each group of materials 300 can also be composed of multiple carriers 301, and the multiple carriers 301 are distributed in sequence along the conveying direction. Specifically, they can be configured according to the width of the carrier 301 and the width of the jacking assembly 20.

[0068] It can be understood that in the process of multiple groups of materials 300 passing over the jacking assembly 20 in sequence along the conveying direction, each time the previous group of materials 300 moves above the jacking assembly 20, the partition assembly 30 can block the next group of materials 300 from moving to the jacking assembly 20, so as to ensure that the jacking assembly 20 can only carry the materials 300 currently located above it, and lift and lower this group of materials 300, thereby avoiding interference of other groups of materials 300 with the material 300 currently performing the lifting action, and preventing problems such as collision between the front and rear groups of materials 300, or the front and rear groups of materials 300 being located above the jacking assembly 20 at the same time, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the materials 300 caused by accidents and improving conveying safety.

[0069] It can be understood that in the process of the material 300 passing above the jacking assembly 20 along the conveying direction, each time the material 300 moves above the jacking assembly 20, the blocking assembly 40 can prevent the material 300 from continuing to move, so as to position the material 300 above the jacking assembly 20, ensure that the material 300 moves into place, prevent the jacking assembly 20 and the material 300 from being misaligned, causing the material 300 to fall during lifting, and improve the conveying stability.

[0070] In some embodiments, the base 10 is generally plate-shaped, with the partition assembly 30 and the blocking assembly 40 both disposed on the upper side of the base 10, spaced apart along the conveying direction. The lifting assembly 20 is disposed between the partition assembly 30 and the blocking assembly 40. The base 10 can be mounted and fixed to a fixed object via a bracket structure, which can be the ground or other equipment. For example, a partition frame 11 is disposed on a side of the base 10 proximate to a first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20, and a blocking frame 12 is disposed on a side of the base 10 proximate to a second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the jacking assembly 20 includes a jacking platform 21 and a jacking drive 22, wherein the jacking platform 21 is located above the base 10 and is used to carry the material 300. The jacking drive 22 is located below the jacking platform 21, and the jacking drive 22 is disposed on the jacking platform 21 and connected to the jacking platform 21, and is used to drive the jacking platform 21 to rise and fall. It can be understood that the top of the jacking assembly 20, the first side 211, and the second side 212 mentioned in this embodiment refer to the top of the jacking platform 21, the first side 211, and the second side 212, respectively.

[0072] For example, the lifting platform 21 is generally rectangular in shape. The upper side of the lifting platform 21 is used to support the material 300. The lifting platform 21 defines a first side 211 and a second side 212 along the conveying direction. The first side 211 of the lifting platform 21 defines a first clearance opening for accommodating the partition assembly 30, while the second side 212 of the lifting platform 21 defines a second clearance opening for accommodating the blocking assembly 40. It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the lifting platform 21 can be configured based on the shape of the material 300, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0073] The lifting drive member 22 can be a cylinder, and the cylinder has a cylinder seat and a piston rod. The cylinder seat of the lifting drive member 22 is bolted to the base 10, and the piston rod of the lifting drive member 22 points upward to the lifting platform 21. The bottom surface of the lifting platform 21 is bolted with a connecting column 23, and the piston rod of the lifting drive member 22 is connected to the connecting column 23 through a fisheye bearing. The lifting drive member 22 drives the lifting platform 21 to rise and fall by driving the piston rod to extend and retract. It can be understood that the use of a cylinder as a power source in this embodiment has the effects of simple structure and reduced cost. In other embodiments, the lifting drive member 22 can also use other devices such as a servo module as a power source. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0074] In this embodiment, the lifting platform 21 is in a lowered state when the upper side height of the lifting platform 21 is lower than the upper side height of the synchronous belt assembly 201. At this time, the position of the lifting platform 21 does not affect the conveyance of the material 300 by the synchronous belt assembly 201 along the conveying direction.

[0075] When the lifting platform 21 rises to a height where the upper side of the lifting platform 21 is greater than the upper side of the synchronous belt assembly 201, the lifting platform 21 is in an ascending state. At this time, the lifting platform 21 can lift the material 300 to separate the material 300 from the synchronous belt assembly 201.

[0076] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the decomposition of the lifting mechanism and materials provided in this application from another perspective.

[0077] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning pin 24 is provided on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, and the positioning pin 24 is used to be plugged into the positioning hole 302 at the bottom of the material 300. For example, a mounting hole is provided on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, and the lower end of the positioning pin 24 is embedded and fixed in the mounting hole, while the upper end of the positioning pin 24 is exposed in the mounting hole and protrudes from the upper side of the lifting platform 21.

[0078] When the lifting platform 21 is in a descending state and the blocking assembly 40 positions the material 300 above the lifting platform 21, the positioning pin 24 is aligned with the positioning hole 302 in the vertical direction. When the lifting platform 21 rises to the ascending state, the lifting platform 21 can carry the material 300 and allow the positioning pin 24 to be inserted into the positioning hole 302 to position the material 300.

[0079] It can be understood that the positioning pins 24 are used to position the material 300, thereby reducing the risk of the material 300 escaping from the lifting platform 21 during the lifting process, thereby improving transportation safety.

[0080] In some embodiments, the number of positioning pins 24 is greater than or equal to two, and the distribution of the plurality of positioning pins 24 corresponds to the distribution of the plurality of positioning holes 302. In this embodiment, the number of positioning pins 24 is two, and the two positioning pins 24 are distributed along the diagonal extension direction of the lifting platform 21. When the lifting platform 21 is carrying the material 300, the plurality of positioning pins 24 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 302 to improve the positioning of the material 300.

[0081] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting platform 21 is provided with a detection module 60, which is used to detect the material 300 carried on the lifting platform 21. It can be understood that according to the detection result of the detection module 60, it can be determined whether the lifting platform 21 carries the material 300.

[0082] When the material 300 moves to the top of the lifting platform 21 and the lifting platform 21 moves from a lowered state to an ascended state, if the detection module 60 can send a corresponding trigger signal, it can be determined that the lifting platform 21 is carrying the material 300. If the detection module 60 does not send a corresponding trigger signal, it can be determined that the lifting platform 21 is not carrying the material 300 or is not carrying the material 300. In this way, the state of the lifting platform 21 carrying the material 300 can be monitored, and the transportation of the material 300 can be monitored and managed.

[0083] In the example of the present application, the working mode of the detection module 60 can be configured as follows: in response to the lifting platform 21 being in an ascending state, the detection module 60 sends a corresponding trigger signal, allowing other devices to perform subsequent processing actions on the material 300 located on the lifting platform 21.

[0084] In response to the lifting platform 21 not being in the ascending state, or the detection module 60 not sending the corresponding trigger signal, other devices are suspended from executing subsequent processing actions on the material 300 located on the lifting platform 21 .

[0085] In some embodiments, the detection module 60 is a contact detection module. The contact end of the detection module 60 is located on the upper side of the lifting platform 21. The detection module 60 contacts the bottom of the material 300 through the contact end to detect the normally loaded material 300.

[0086] When the material 300 is normally loaded on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, the contact end of the detection module 60 can contact the bottom of the material 300, and the detection module 60 can send a corresponding trigger signal. When the material 300 is not loaded or is abnormally loaded on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, the contact end of the detection module 60 does not contact the bottom of the material 300, and the detection module 60 does not send a corresponding trigger signal.

[0087] The normal loading refers to a situation where the bottom of the material 300 is parallel to the upper side of the lifting platform 21 and the bottom of the material 300 is evenly loaded on the lifting platform 21 as a whole.

[0088] Abnormal loading refers to a situation where the bottom of the material 300 is not parallel to the upper side of the lifting platform 21, so that the bottom of the material 300 as a whole cannot be evenly loaded on the lifting platform 21. The reasons for the abnormal loading of the material 300 may be: the placement angle of the material 300 does not meet the requirements, the positioning pin 24 of the lifting platform 21 is not inserted into the positioning hole 302 of the material 300, but is pressed against the bottom of the material 300, causing one end of the bottom of the material 300 to tilt up, and only the other end is loaded on the lifting platform 21, and the bottom of the material 300 is tilted as a whole. In the case of abnormal loading of the material 300, if the lifting platform 21 directly drives the material 300 to rise, it may cause other devices to be unable to receive the material 300, and increase the risk of the material 300 falling.

[0089] It can be understood that the use of the contact detection module can eliminate the risk of the lifting platform 21 driving the abnormally loaded material 300 to be lifted or lowered, thereby further improving the transportation safety.

[0090] In some embodiments, the number of detection modules 60 is greater than or equal to two, and the multiple groups of detection modules 60 are spaced apart. In the example of this embodiment, the number of detection modules 60 is two, and the two groups of detection modules 60 are distributed along the diagonal extension direction of the lifting platform 21, and the two groups of detection modules 60 are respectively disposed adjacent to the two positioning pins 24.

[0091] When the material 300 is normally carried on the upper side of the lifting platform 21 , the contact ends of all the detection modules 60 can contact the bottom of the material 300 , and all the detection modules 60 can send corresponding trigger signals.

[0092] When the material 300 is not carried on the upper side of the lifting platform 21 , the contact ends of all the detection modules 60 do not contact the bottom of the material 300 , and all the detection modules 60 do not send corresponding trigger signals.

[0093] When the material 300 is abnormally carried on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, the contact ends of some detection modules 60 contact the bottom of the material 300 and send corresponding trigger signals, while the contact ends of other detection modules 60 do not contact the bottom of the material 300, and the detection modules 60 do not send corresponding trigger signals.

[0094] In this way, by setting up multiple contact detection modules, the three states of material 300, namely normal loading, abnormal loading and no loading, can be detected and distinguished more accurately, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the monitoring function and simplifying the detection structure.

[0095] Correspondingly, the working mode of the detection module 60 can be configured as follows: in response to the lifting platform 21 being in an ascending state, all detection modules 60 send corresponding trigger signals, allowing other devices to perform subsequent processing actions on the material 300 located on the lifting platform 21.

[0096] In response to the lifting platform 21 not being in the ascending state, or all the detection modules 60 not sending corresponding trigger signals, other devices are suspended from executing subsequent processing actions on the material 300 located on the lifting platform 21 .

[0097] In response to at least one detection module 60 sending a corresponding trigger signal and at least one detection module 60 not sending a corresponding trigger signal, an alarm action is triggered. After the alarm action is triggered, the system can notify relevant staff to promptly handle the abnormally loaded material 300.

[0098] Figure 9 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of point IX in the middle. Figure 10 for Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of the X in the middle.

[0099] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection module 60 includes a spring pin 61 and a trigger detection member 62. The lifting platform 21 is provided with a connection hole, and the spring pin 61 is disposed in the connection hole. An elastic structure is provided between the spring pin 61 and the lifting platform 21. The upper end of the spring pin 61 is a contact end, and the lower end of the spring pin 61 can extend from the lower side of the lifting platform 21. The trigger detection member 62 is a slot-type photoelectric sensor. The trigger detection member 62 is fixed to the lower side of the lifting platform 21, and the sensing area of ​​the trigger detection member 62 is arranged corresponding to the lower end of the spring pin 61.

[0100] When the upper end of the spring pin 61 is not in contact with the material 300, the elastic structure allows the upper end of the spring pin 61 to protrude above the lifting platform 21, while the lower end of the spring pin 61 does not enter the sensing area of ​​the trigger detector 62. When the material 300 is placed on the upper side of the lifting platform 21, the bottom surface of the material 300 contacts the upper end of the spring pin 61, pushing the spring pin 61 downward and causing the lower end of the spring pin 61 to enter the sensing area of ​​the trigger detector 62, triggering the detector 62 to send a trigger signal.

[0101] In other embodiments, the detection module 60 may also use a contact pressure sensor, as long as it can achieve the effect of detecting the material 300 by contact, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0102] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting platform 21 is provided with a plurality of guide shafts 25, each of which is parallel to the vertical direction, spaced apart, and each of which is slidably connected to the base 10 in the vertical direction. For example, the number of guide shafts 25 is four, with four guide shafts 25 distributed at the four corners of the lifting platform 21. One end of the guide shaft 25 is bolted to the bottom surface of the lifting platform 21, and the guide shaft 25 is slidably connected to the base 10 via a linear bearing.

[0103] It can be understood that the multiple guide shafts 25 can simultaneously guide and limit the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 21 to prevent the lifting platform 21 from tilting during the lifting process, thereby reducing the risk of the material 300 falling and improving transportation safety.

[0104] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition assembly 30 includes a partition driver 32 and a partition 33, wherein the partition driver 32 is disposed on the base 10 and is located on the first side 211 of the lifting assembly 20. The partition 33 is connected to the partition driver 32 and is configured to rise to a separation height or descend to a clearance height under the drive of the partition driver 32.

[0105] Exemplarily, the partition drive 32 is fixed on the partition frame 11, and the partition 33 is provided at the upper end of the partition drive 32. The partition drive 32 can be a cylinder, and the cylinder has a cylinder seat and a piston rod. The cylinder seat of the partition drive 32 is bolted and fixed to the partition frame 11, and the piston rod of the partition drive 32 is arranged upward and bolted and fixed to the bottom of the partition 33. The partition drive 32 drives the partition 33 to rise and fall by driving the piston rod to extend and retract. It can be understood that the use of a cylinder as a power source in this embodiment has the effects of simple structure and reduced cost. In other embodiments, the partition drive 32 can also use other devices such as a servo module as a power source. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0106] In the example of this embodiment, when the divider 33 is at the separation height, the top height of the divider 33 is greater than the upper side height of the synchronous belt assembly 201. At this time, the divider 33 is in the separation state. If the synchronous belt assembly 201 drives the material 300 to pass through the divider 33 along the conveying direction, the divider 33 will be against the side of the material 300 to prevent the material 300 from continuing to move toward the direction close to the lifting platform 21.

[0107] When the separator 33 is at the avoidance height, the top height of the separator 33 is lower than the upper side height of the synchronous belt assembly 201. At this time, the separator 33 is in the avoidance state and the avoidance member does not affect the movement of the material 300 on the synchronous belt assembly 201.

[0108] It can be understood that when the partition 33 is at the avoidance height, the material 300 is allowed to move from the first side 211 of the jacking assembly 20 to above the jacking assembly 20 along the conveying direction, so that the jacking assembly 20 can carry and drive the material 300 to move up and down. When the partition 33 is at the separation height, the partition 33 prevents the material 300 from moving from the first side 211 of the jacking assembly 20 to above the jacking assembly 20 along the conveying direction.

[0109] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting post 331 is provided on the upper side of the partition 33, and the top height of the partition 33 refers to the top height of the limiting post 331. The shape of the limiting post 331 is adapted to the docking hole 303 on the side of the material 300. For example, the transverse cross-section of the limiting post 331 is circular.

[0110] When the partition 33 is at the separation height, the limiting column 331 can extend into the two docking holes 303 on opposite sides of the front and rear groups of materials 300 to shorten the distance between the front and rear groups of materials 300, allowing the synchronous belt assembly 201 to transport more materials 300 at the same time, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0111] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking assembly 40 includes a blocking driver 42 and a blocking block 43, wherein the blocking driver 42 is disposed on the base 10 and is located on the second side 212 of the lifting assembly 20. The blocking block 43 is connected to the blocking driver 42 and is used to rise to a blocking height or fall to a yielding height under the drive of the blocking driver 42.

[0112] Exemplarily, the blocking driver 42 is fixed to the blocking frame 12, and the blocking block 43 is arranged at the upper end of the blocking driver 42. The blocking driver 42 can be a cylinder, and the cylinder has a cylinder seat and a piston rod. The cylinder seat of the blocking driver 42 is bolted and fixed to the blocking frame 12, and the piston rod of the blocking driver 42 is arranged upward and bolted and fixed to the bottom of the blocking block 43. The blocking driver 42 drives the blocking block 43 to rise and fall by driving the piston rod to extend and retract. It can be understood that the use of a cylinder as a power source in this embodiment has the effects of simple structure and cost reduction. In other embodiments, the blocking driver 42 can also use other devices such as a servo module as a power source, which can be specifically configured according to actual needs, and this application is not limited to this.

[0113] In the example of this embodiment, when the blocking block 43 is at the blocking height, the top height of the blocking block 43 is greater than the upper side height of the synchronous belt assembly 201. At this time, the blocking block 43 is in a blocking state. If the synchronous belt assembly 201 drives the material 300 to pass through the blocking block 43 along the conveying direction, the blocking block 43 will be against the side of the material 300 to prevent the material 300 from moving in the direction away from the lifting platform 21.

[0114] When the blocking block 43 is at the yielding height, the top height of the blocking block 43 is lower than the upper side height of the synchronous belt assembly 201. At this time, the blocking block 43 is in the yielding state, and the yielding member does not affect the movement of the material 300 on the synchronous belt assembly 201.

[0115] It can be understood that when the blocking block 43 is at the yielding height, the material 300 is allowed to move from the second side 212 of the jacking assembly 20 along the conveying direction and out from above the jacking assembly 20, so that the material 300 can escape from the jacking assembly 20. When the blocking block 43 is at the blocking height, the blocking block 43 blocks the material 300 from moving from the second side 212 of the jacking assembly 20 along the conveying direction and out from above the jacking assembly 20.

[0116] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a stopper block 43 is provided with a stopper surface 431 on a side facing the lifting assembly 20. The shape of the stopper surface 431 matches the shape of the side surface of the material 300. The stopper surface 431 is used to abut against the side surface of the material 300 in the conveying direction. Exemplarily, the abutting surface of the stopper block 43 is parallel to the side surface of the material 300.

[0117] It can be understood that when the material 300 is abutted against the blocking block 43 along the conveying direction, the blocking block 43 contacts the material 300 through the abutting surface, and increases the contact area between the blocking block 43 and the material 300 through surface-to-surface contact, thereby reducing the position deviation of the material 300 when contacting the blocking block 43, and making it easier to align the position of the material 300 with the lifting platform 21.

[0118] Figure 11 This is a schematic structural diagram of the jacking mechanism provided in this application from a top view.

[0119] like Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustment assembly 50 includes a sliding block 51 and an adjusting member 52, wherein the sliding block 51 is slidably connected to the base 10 along the adjustment direction, and the blocking block 43 moves synchronously with the sliding block 51 in the adjustment direction. The adjusting member 52 is disposed between the sliding block 51 and the base 10, and is used to adjust the position of the sliding block 51 relative to the base 10 in the adjustment direction, thereby adjusting the position of the blocking block 43 relative to the base 10 in the adjustment direction.

[0120] It can be understood that the position of the blocking block 43 can be adjusted in the adjustment direction through the adjusting member 52, the distance between the blocking block 43 and the lifting platform 21 can be adjusted, and the distance between the blocking block 43 and the partition 33 can be adjusted at the same time, so that the blocking block 43 can be suitable for blocking materials 300 of different widths, thereby improving the practicality of the blocking assembly 40.

[0121] Illustratively, the sliding block 51 is slidably connected to the upper side of the base 10 along the adjustment direction, and the blocking frame 12 is bolted to the upper side of the sliding block 51. A threaded hole is provided on the side of the sliding block 51 facing away from the lifting assembly 20. The adjusting member 52 can be an adjusting screw having a head and a screw portion, with the screw portion extending along the adjustment direction.

[0122] The base 10 is provided with a fixed block 53 bolted to the side of the base 10. The fixed block 53 is spaced apart from the sliding block 51 in the adjustment direction. The screw portion of the adjusting screw passes through and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 53, and the screw portion of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the sliding block 51.

[0123] When the adjusting screw rotates forward or reverse, the sliding block 51 can move closer to or farther from the fixed block 53 in the adjusting direction by utilizing the threaded fit between the adjusting screw and the sliding block 51 , thereby driving the blocking block 43 to move back and forth in the adjusting direction.

[0124] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present application also provides a transportation device 1000 .

[0125] The transport device 1000 includes a lifting mechanism 100 and an assembly line mechanism 200. The assembly line mechanism 200 is used to transport materials 300 along a conveying direction. The lifting mechanism 100 is used to carry and drive the material 300 to rise and fall, so as to realize the transfer of materials 300 between the assembly line mechanism 200 and other devices.

[0126] The implementation principle and beneficial effects of the transportation device 1000 provided in this application can be specifically found in the relevant descriptions in the aforementioned embodiments, and this application will not repeat them here.

[0127] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
