Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of transfer devices, and in particular relates to a double-station transfer mechanism of an integrated production line. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in an integrated production line, materials need to be transported between different processes. Usually, the materials need to be stacked on pallets, and then the pallets are lifted and transported by AGV carts to achieve material transfer.

[0003] However, in actual operation, if the above method is used to transfer materials between two similar processes, not only will the site space requirements be high (it must meet the activity requirements of the AGV cart), but the handling operation will also be cumbersome and inefficient, and the materials will need to be moved in multiple directions, which can easily lead to the risk of the material's center of gravity being unstable and collapsing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an improved double-station transfer mechanism for an integrated production line.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A dual-station transfer mechanism for an integrated production line includes a base, a transfer seat, and a driver, wherein the base has a material receiving station and a material unloading station arranged side by side in front and back, and a support roller located between the material receiving station and the material unloading station and extending left and right, wherein the support roller can be freely rotated around its own center line; the transfer seat includes a first seat body and a second seat body movably connected to the base and spaced apart left and right, wherein the tops of the first seat body and the second seat body form a bearing plane for carrying materials; the driver drives the first seat body and the second seat body to synchronously reciprocate and translate between the material receiving station and the material unloading station, and the support roller can synchronously roll and support the bottom of the material located on the bearing plane and form a motion guide. It should be noted here that the so-called motion guide is to guide the material to move forward and backward through the rotation of the support roller to avoid the material from shifting in the left and right directions, thereby ensuring the stability of the center of gravity of the material and reducing the risk of collapse.

[0007] Preferably, the first base and the second base are arranged symmetrically on both sides, thereby improving the stability of the support on the left and right sides of the bottom of the material.

[0008] Preferably, the base includes a first and second body extending front-to-back and spaced side-by-side, and a third body connected between the first and second bodies. The first and second bodies are slidably connected to the first and second bodies, respectively, and the support rollers are rotatably connected to the third body. The structure is simple, making it easy to manufacture and install. Specifically, the first and second bodies are divided in the front-to-back direction into a receiving section forming a receiving station and a unloading section forming a unloading station, respectively. The receiving and unloading sections are of equal length.

[0009] Furthermore, the lengths of the receiving section, the unloading section, the first base, and the second base are equal, so as to facilitate accurate positioning of the transfer seat at the receiving station and the unloading station to match the corresponding manipulator loading or unloading.

[0010] Preferably, the centerline of the support roller is aligned with the boundary line between the receiving section and the unloading section; and / or the top of the support roller is flush with the load-bearing surface, ensuring that the support roller can always maintain support on the bottom of the material while the material is moving.

[0011] Preferably, the first split body and the second split body are respectively provided with guide rails extending along the front-to-back direction, and the first base body and the second base body are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding guide rails through sliding modules.

[0012] Specifically, the guide rails are recessed inward from the outer walls on both sides to form a groove. The sides of the groove extend vertically, the top extends inward and tilts downward from top to bottom, and the bottom extends outward and tilts downward from top to bottom. The sliding module is positioned in alignment with the sides and top of the groove. This layout of the sides and top of the groove not only provides lateral support for the sliding module to prevent rollover, but also provides vertical restraint to prevent vertical vibration, further improving the stability of materials during transfer.

[0013] Preferably, the guide rail is recessed from the top to form a positioning groove extending forward and backward, and the first and second base bodies respectively protrude outward from the bottom surface to form a protrusion that matches the positioning groove. The protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove and can slide forward and backward along the positioning groove. This facilitates precise assembly.

[0014] In addition, the driver includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder connected to the first base and the second base respectively, wherein the first cylinder and the second cylinder share a common air source, thereby ensuring synchronization of the movement of the left and right first base and the second base.

[0015] Due to the implementation of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] The existing technology transfers materials between two adjacent processes, which not only has high requirements for site space (needs to meet the activity requirements of the AGV trolley), but also has cumbersome handling operations, low efficiency, and requires multi-directional movement of materials, which easily leads to the risk of unstable center of gravity and collapse of materials. The present application designs the structure of the double-station transfer mechanism of the integrated production line as a whole, cleverly solving the shortcomings and defects of the existing technology. After adopting the double-station transfer mechanism, the transfer seat is first driven to move to the material receiving station on the base; then the material is placed on the bearing plane formed by the top of the first seat body and the second seat body. At this time, the material The middle part of the bottom is suspended in the air; then the transfer seat is driven to move toward the unloading station, and the support rollers synchronously roll and support the bottom of the material and form a motion guide for the forward and backward movement of the material; finally, when the transfer seat moves to the unloading station, it stops, and then the unloading operation is performed; therefore, compared with the existing technology, the present invention, on the one hand, is based on the cooperation of the base and the transfer seat, which can realize the rapid transfer of materials, is simple and convenient to operate, and has a simple structure, which is flexible to meet the use in narrow spaces; on the other hand, the support rollers form a motion guide to avoid the deviation of the material during the translation process, ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the material, and greatly reduce the probability of collapse.

[0030] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the double-station transfer mechanism of the integrated production line of this embodiment includes a base 1, a transfer seat 2, and a driver 3.

[0031] Specifically, the base 1 includes a first body 11 and a second body 12 extending horizontally front to back and spaced side by side, and a third body 13 connected between the first and second bodies 11, 12. The first, second, and third bodies 11, 12 are integrally formed. The base 1 has a receiving station w1 and a discharge station w2 arranged side by side front to back, and a support roller g extending left and right between the receiving and discharge stations w1 and w2. The support roller g is rotatable about its own centerline. When in use, the base 1 is laid flat on a bottom surface and can be flexibly moved to change its position.

[0032] For ease of implementation, the first and second sub-bodies 11, 12 are each divided in the front-to-back direction into a receiving section forming the receiving station w1 and a unloading section forming the unloading station, wherein the receiving and unloading sections are set to be equal in length. In other words, the first and second sub-bodies 11, 12 are each evenly divided into two sections to form the receiving station w1 and the unloading station w2, respectively.

[0033] Meanwhile, support roller g is rotatably connected to third body 13; its centerline coincides with the boundary between the receiving and unloading sections. A mounting groove is formed in third body 13, with the lower portion of support roller g nestled within the groove and the upper portion exposed. This further reduces the height of base 1, achieving a thinner design for easier storage and transportation.

[0034] In this example, the transfer seat 2 includes a first seat body 21 and a second seat body 22 movably connected to the base 1 and spaced apart from each other. The tops of the first seat body 21 and the second seat body 22 form a bearing plane m for carrying materials. The driver 3 drives the first seat body 21 and the second seat body 22 to synchronously reciprocate and translate between the material receiving station w1 and the material unloading station w2. The support roller g can synchronously roll and support the bottom of the material located on the bearing plane m and form a motion guide. It should be noted that the so-called motion guide refers to the rotation of the support roller to guide the material forward and backward movement, thereby preventing the material from shifting in the left and right directions, thereby ensuring the stability of the material's center of gravity and reducing the risk of collapse.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the first seat body 21 and the second seat body 22 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right; the first seat body 21 and the second seat body 22 are correspondingly slidably connected to the first split body 11 and the second split body 12, and the lengths of the material receiving section, the material unloading section, the first seat body 21 and the second seat body 22 are equal; the top of the support roller g is flush with the load-bearing plane m.

[0036] To further facilitate implementation, guide rails d extending in the front-to-back direction are provided on the first and second bodies 11, 12, respectively. The first and second bodies 21, 22 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rails d via sliding modules k. In this embodiment, the guide rails d are composed of two single rails spaced side by side.

[0037] Specifically, the guide rail d is recessed inward from both outer walls to form a groove c0. The sides of groove c0 extend vertically, the top extends inwardly and tilts downward from top to bottom, and the bottom extends outwardly and tilts downward from top to bottom. Two sliding modules k are positioned to fit in the sides and top of groove c0, respectively. This layout of the sides and top of the groove not only provides lateral support for the sliding modules, preventing them from tilting, but also provides vertical restraint, preventing vertical vibration and further enhancing material stability during transfer.

[0038] At the same time, the guide rail d is recessed from the top to form a positioning groove c1 extending forward and backward. The first base 21 and the second base 22 each protrude outward from their bottom surfaces to form a raised portion b that matches the positioning groove c1. The raised portion b is inserted into the positioning groove c1 and can slide back and forth along the positioning groove c1. The cross-section of the positioning groove c1 is a downwardly arched arc.

[0039] In addition, the driver 3 includes a first cylinder 31 and a second cylinder 32 connected to the first base 21 and the second base 22 respectively, wherein the first cylinder 31 and the second cylinder 32 share a common air source to ensure synchronization of the movement of the left and right first and second bases.

[0040] In summary, after adopting the double-station transfer mechanism, the transfer seat is first driven to move to the material receiving station on the base; then the material is placed on the bearing plane formed by the top of the first seat body and the second seat body, and the bottom middle part of the material is suspended in the air; then the transfer seat is driven to move to the unloading station, and the support rollers synchronously roll and support the bottom of the material and form a motion guide for the forward and backward movement of the material; finally, when the transfer seat moves to the unloading station, it stops and then the unloading operation is performed; therefore, compared with the existing technology, the present invention is based on the cooperation of the base and the transfer seat on the one hand, which can realize the rapid transfer of materials, is simple and convenient to operate, and has a simple structure, which can flexibly meet the use in narrow spaces; on the other hand, the support rollers form a motion guide to avoid the material from being moved during the translation process Produce an offset, ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the material, and greatly reduce the probability of collapse; thirdly, based on the length layout of the material receiving section, unloading section, the first seat body and the second seat body, it is convenient to accurately locate the position of the transfer seat at the material receiving station and the unloading station, so as to match the corresponding manipulator loading or unloading; fourthly, by coinciding the center line of the support roller with the intersection line of the material receiving section and the unloading section, it is ensured that the support roller can always remain supported on the bottom of the material when the material is moving; fifthly, based on the layout of the side and top surfaces of the groove, not only lateral support is formed for the sliding module through the side to avoid tilting, but also a limit can be formed in the vertical direction to avoid up and down vibration, thereby further improving the stability of the material during the transfer process.

It is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model.
