Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cargo conveying line, in particular to a storage device capable of storing hooked cargo on a guide rail. Background Art

[0002] Conveyor lines are used to transport goods over long distances. These goods can be fabric cut pieces or garments used in garment systems. The structure of a conveyor line includes a guide rail with a drive mechanism provided on the outside of the guide rail. A carrier loaded with goods is hooked to the guide rail via a hook portion on the guide rail, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the carrier forward on the guide rail. Birdhook drive mechanisms are also widely used as a drive method on conveyor lines. The structure of this drive mechanism includes a flexible drive line with a number of bird hooks connected to the drive line at equal intervals. The bird hook is sheet-shaped and tilted. The upper end of the bird hook is hinged to the drive line, and the lower end of the bird hook is elastically pressed against the guide rail by the action of a spring. A hook mouth is provided on the lower end of the bird hook, which is used to hook together with the hook portion on the carrier and is dragged forward on the guide rail by the action of the drive line.

[0003] During the production process, it is sometimes necessary to store or match finished products in batches according to specifications, colors, and styles. However, in the actual production and finished product storage process, there may be sudden power outages or time to get off work, which will cause the number of completed processes or prepared products to fail to meet the requirements for subsequent processing. When production is restarted, it will affect the smooth completion of subsequent processes.

[0004] In existing conveyor lines, there is no blocking mechanism on the guide rails to block the vehicles on the guide rails, which will cause troubles in subsequent processing. If the conveyor line is to be operated automatically, the control complexity of the conveyor line needs to be increased. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a hanging type cargo storage device, which can effectively meet the batch processing quantity requirements of the cargo loaded on the carrier and simplify the control of the conveying system.

[0006] In order to solve the technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a hanging cargo storage device includes a guide rail, the guide rail has a support part for slidingly supporting the carrier hanging part, a storage space for the carrier hanging part to store the hung cargo is formed on the guide rail, a driving line is provided on the upper side of the guide rail, a plurality of bird hooks are provided on the driving line, the bird hooks are tilted on the driving line, the upper end of the bird hook is hinged on the driving line, the lower end of the bird hook is elastically pressed toward the guide rail, a hook mouth is formed on the bird hook, the hook mouth is used to hook the carrier hanging part, and under the drive of the driving line, the bird hook drags the carrier hanging part The part slides on the support part on the track, and is characterized in that a limit piece is provided at the downstream end of the storage space, and the action structure is transmission-connected with the limit piece. The action structure is actuated to make the upper end of the limit piece move between an upper dead point and a lower starting point, and the upper dead point protrudes to the upper side of the support part, and the lower starting point is flush with the support part or on the lower side of the support part; the upper end of the limit piece at the upper dead point disengages the hook mouth on the bird hook from the carrier hanging part by interfering with the bird hook, and the protruding height of the carrier hanging part on the support part corresponds to the height of the upper dead point.

[0007] This storage device is used on conveyor lines to meet the requirements of batch processing of goods loaded on carriers, such as storage of finished products and assembly of goods. The main purpose is to make batches of carriers wait together and release them when the quantity is sufficient, or these carriers can be directly stored on the guide rails.

[0008] The carrier hooking part itself has a certain protruding height on the guide rail, which corresponds to the top dead center. It means that the hooking part that stays on the guide rail at the front side will conflict with the side position of the subsequent bird hook, causing the hook mouth on the bird hook to disengage from the dragged carrier hooking part, thereby allowing the carrier to stay on the guide rail, thereby achieving the accumulation of the number of carriers staying on the guide rail.

[0009] The action structure can be the following air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or other mechanical power mechanism, or a manually operable toggle structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting member is a block-shaped limiting block, which can stably resist the bird hook and is convenient for connection with the action structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the action structure is a cylinder, which is arranged vertically, and the limiter is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder in a transmission manner. The cylinder has a fast action speed and can drive the limiter to move in time according to needs, and has a simple structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a mounting seat is provided at a position corresponding to the position limiter on the track, and the position limiter and the function structure are arranged on the mounting seat. The arrangement of the mounting seat facilitates the installation of the position limiter and the function structure, making the integrity good and facilitating installation on the guide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting base is a block-shaped body, the track is disconnected at the location of the mounting base, and the two opposing ends of the track are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the mounting base. This mounting base is easy to install together with the guide rail, has good integrity, and the presence of the mounting base does not affect the smooth movement of the vehicle on the guide rail.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with L-shaped coupling ports at opposite ends thereof, so that the mounting base is convex, and the two opposing ends of the guide rail are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the coupling ports. The specific structural definition of the mounting base can well adapt to the connection and fixation between the guide rail and the connection operation is convenient.

[0015] Furthermore, a gap is left between the end of the guide rail and the middle part of the mounting seat, which can well adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the guide rail and is conducive to keeping the guide rail straight during use.

[0016] Furthermore, a notch is provided in the middle of the mounting base, and a lining strip extending along the length of the guide rail is provided. The lining strip forms the support portion, with the end of the lining strip embedded in the notch. The lining strip is generally made of a non-metallic material such as plastic, and its connection to the mounting base also ensures good connection stability.

[0017] Furthermore, the guide rails are formed with multiple storage spaces, arranged linearly on the rails, each corresponding to a set of position limiting members and actuating structures. This allows for segmented storage of carriers on the rails, making it ideal for batch storage of products of varying sizes, specifications, and colors on conveyor lines.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by providing a limiter on the guide rail, the carrier carrying goods on the guide rail can be stopped, thereby being able to well adapt to some emergencies that may occur during the production process and meet the actual needs of the production line. When there is no need to stop the carrier, the guide rail can also be used as a conveying guide rail or a storage guide rail, which is very convenient to use. Since the limiter can stop the carrier according to actual needs, and the design of the structure and size of the bird hook and the carrier hanging part can achieve cumulative stopping of multiple carriers, it well meets the storage requirements for the carrier and can effectively simplify the control of the conveyor line.

[0024] In conjunction with the drawings of the specification, the hook-type cargo storage device is set on a guide rail to realize the storage of carriers on the guide rail. The guide rail can be a conveyor rail on a conveyor line or a storage rail for finished product storage.

[0025] The guide rail has a support portion that provides sliding support for the carrier's attachment. For a simple aluminum rail, this support portion is the upper side of the rail. The attachment portion on the carrier is typically hook-shaped, and the attachment portion slides forward on the support portion. To prevent wear, the guide rail is sometimes equipped with removable lining strips. These strips are two in number and run along the length of the rail. They have a U-shaped cross-section and are removably connected to the rail via screws 6. The lining strips protrude from the upper surface of the rail and constitute the support portion.

[0026] The guide rails have storage space for the carrier attachments. This space is a spatial concept, not a specific structure, and is determined by the stoppers described below and the number of carriers stored. A birdhook-style drive wire, currently used on the upper side of the guide rails, is used to pull the carriers forward on the rails.

[0027] A limiter is provided at the downstream end of the storage space, and an action structure is transmission-connected to the limiter. The action structure operates to move the upper end of the limiter between an upper dead point and a lower starting point. The upper dead point protrudes to the upper side of the support portion, and the lower starting point is flush with the support portion or on the lower side of the support portion. Under normal circumstances, the lower starting point is flush with the support portion. The upper end of the limiter at the upper dead point interferes with the bird hook, causing the hook mouth on the bird hook to disengage from the carrier hanging portion, thereby allowing the carrier to be stored upstream from the position of the limiter in the storage space. The protruding height of the carrier hanging portion on the support portion corresponds to the height of the upper dead point. When other bird hooks pass by and stop at the carrier hanging portion in the storage space, the bird hooks pass over these carrier hanging portions, and the hook mouths on the bird hooks remain disengaged from the carrier hanging portion.

[0028] The guide rail can be provided with a segmented storage function, thereby forming a plurality of storage spaces on the guide rail. These storage spaces are arranged in a straight line on the guide rail, and each storage space corresponds to a set of position limiting members and action structures.

[0029] As shown in the figure, the limit member is a block-shaped limit block 2, and the active structure is a cylinder 5. The cylinder 5 is vertically arranged, and the limit member is transmission-connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 5. The movement of the upper end of the limit block 2 extending to the top dead center or retracting to the bottom starting point is powered by the cylinder 5.

[0030] To facilitate the installation of the limit block 2, a mounting base 1 is provided at the location of the track corresponding to the limiter. The limiter and the operating structure are mounted on the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 is a block-shaped body, and the track is disconnected at the location of the mounting base 1. The two opposing ends of the track are connected to opposite sides of the mounting base 1. The cylinder 5 is vertically fixed to the mounting base 1. A transparent mounting hole is provided in the center of the mounting base 1, into which the limit block 2 and the piston rod are inserted.

[0031] L-shaped coupling ports 3 are provided at opposite ends of the mounting base 1, giving the mounting base 1 a "convex" shape. The two opposing ends of the guide rail are connected to the bottom surface of the coupling port 3. A plug 7 is connected to the bottom surface of the coupling port 3 by bolts, and the plug 7 is inserted into the hollow guide rail. The depth of the coupling port 3 corresponds to the lateral dimension of the guide rail. When the end of the guide rail is connected to the coupling port 3, the upper end surface of the guide rail remains flush with the upper end surface of the middle part of the mounting base 1. In order to adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the guide rail, a gap is left between the end of the guide rail and the middle part of the mounting base 1. This gap can be determined based on experience.

[0032] An inlay 4 is provided at the middle of the mounting seat 1 , and the end of the lining strip provided on the guide rail is embedded in the inlay 4 , and the lining strip and the mounting seat 1 can be fixedly connected by screws 6 .
