[0002] Flower basket elevators are mechanical devices used to raise and lower flower baskets, widely used in fields such as solar cell production. During the production process, flower baskets are typically used to hold and transport materials such as silicon wafers. Flower basket elevators are responsible for raising and lowering the baskets to the required heights within the production process, ensuring smooth progress in subsequent steps. Traditional flower basket elevators typically utilize components such as synchronous belts, pneumatic cylinders, and electric cylinders to automatically raise and lower the flower baskets, ensuring accurate delivery of silicon wafers to the desired production station.

[0003] However, existing flower basket hoists suffer from several design flaws that hinder their operational efficiency and ease of maintenance. For example: 1. The support rods are constructed from a single profile, which lacks strength and results in poor structural stability. 2. The vertical suspension operation of the drag chain complicates wiring and wastes space beneath the hoist, hindering maintenance. 3. The adjustment range of the stop block is limited, and the short waist groove prevents wide adjustments. 4. The motor is large and centrally mounted, resulting in insufficient space beneath the base, making motor maintenance and replacement difficult. 5. The synchronous pulleys are designed with sidewalls, and friction between the belt and sidewalls creates belt debris that can contaminate the silicon wafers in the flower basket.

[0030] Furthermore, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0031] Example

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a new flower basket elevator, including a lifting mechanism 100 and a carrying mechanism 200, wherein the carrying mechanism 200 is movably installed at the front end of the lifting mechanism 100. The design of the carrying mechanism 200 enables it to carry flower baskets of different specifications and stably transport materials in the flower baskets during the production process. The lifting mechanism 100 can drive the carrying mechanism 200 to slide up and down, thereby driving the materials to be smoothly transferred to the designated location.

[0033] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 100 includes two symmetrically arranged support plates 101. The support plates 101 provide a stable support structure for the entire device, ensuring smoothness during the lifting process. A mounting plate 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom between the two support plates 101. The mounting plate 102 not only connects and fixes the support plates, but also provides an installation platform for subsequent components. A drive assembly 103 is provided inside the mounting plate 102. The drive assembly 103 uses transmission devices such as servo motors and screw rods to achieve precise lifting and lowering control of the support mechanism 200, ensuring efficient operation of the equipment.

[0034] The support mechanism 200 is slidably connected to the front end of the mounting plate 102. The sliding plate 201, a key sliding component, slides smoothly up and down along the front end of the mounting plate 102, thereby driving the entire support mechanism 200 up and down. Rear support rods 202 are symmetrically mounted on either side of the sliding plate 201. These provide rear support for the support mechanism and enhance load stability. Front support rods 203 are symmetrically mounted in front of the rear support rods 202. Together, these front and rear support rods form the support mechanism's skeleton, ensuring that the flower baskets do not shift or tilt during lifting and transport.

[0035] A top plate 204 is fixedly mounted on the tops of the two rear support bars 202 and the front support bar 203. This provides top support for the entire load-bearing mechanism and serves as the mounting base for a positioning assembly 208, which is used to precisely position the material within the basket during the lifting process to prevent it from shifting. Side support plates 205 are fixedly mounted on the bottoms of the left and right rear support bars 202 and front support bars 203. These provide stable lateral support for the basket. Cross support plates 206 are symmetrically mounted on the front and rear sides of the tops of the two side support plates 205. These connect the left and right support plates, enhancing the lateral stability of the entire load-bearing mechanism and providing support for a conveyor assembly 207. This conveyor assembly, located between the cross support plates 206, is responsible for the automatic transport of the baskets, ensuring their efficient flow between process steps.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive assembly 103 is mainly responsible for the power output and precise control of the lifting mechanism. The drive assembly 103 includes a first servo motor 103a fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 102. The first servo motor 103a is the core driving component of the system, and the rotational power provided by it drives the movement of other components. The output end of the motor is connected to the screw rod 103b through a coupling transmission. The coupling is used to transmit power and compensate for installation errors to ensure the stability of the transmission. The outer surface of the screw rod 103b is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 103c. The up and down movement of the lifting plate 103c is controlled by the rotation of the screw rod to accurately adjust the lifting height of the supporting mechanism. The front end of the lifting plate 103c is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 201. In this way, the movement of the drive assembly can be smoothly transmitted to the supporting mechanism, thereby realizing the precise lifting and lowering of the flower basket.

[0037] The conveyor assembly 207 is used to horizontally transport the flower baskets on the support structure. The conveyor assembly 207 includes a second servo motor 207a fixedly mounted on the outer end of the left side support plate 205. This second servo motor 207a provides power for the conveyor system. Its output is fixedly connected to a driving pulley 207b via a rotating shaft. The driving pulley 207b is responsible for transmitting the motor's rotational power to a transmission belt 207c. The transmission belt 207c wraps around the driving pulley 207b and the driven pulley 207d, enabling power transmission and transport of the flower baskets. A rotating rod 207e is fixedly mounted at the center of the driven pulley 207d. This rotating rod 207e extends through the two cross-support plates 206 and outward, providing stable support for the flower baskets and simultaneously rotating to drive the conveyor assembly.

[0038] The conveyor system also includes gears 207f fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 207e. These gears mesh with timing belts 207g to further ensure synchronized and smooth conveying. Two timing belts 207g, respectively located on the outer sides of the cross-supporting plate 206, precisely mesh with the gears to achieve synchronized movement on both sides, ensuring that the flower baskets do not shift or tilt during transport. The entire conveyor system is rationally designed, effectively ensuring stable and efficient delivery of the flower baskets, providing a reliable solution for logistics management during the production process.

[0039] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 208 is responsible for precisely positioning the material during the basket's lifting process, ensuring its stability within the support mechanism 200. This assembly comprises a downward-pressing cylinder 208a, fixedly mounted at the bottom of the top plate 204. This cylinder 208a serves as the core driving component, using compressed air to control the downward pressure on the material. The cylinder's output is fixedly connected to a conical positioning head 208b. This design ensures that the material is accurately aligned and secured within the basket, preventing it from shifting or shaking during lifting or transportation.

[0040] When the material, driven by conveying assembly 207, is completely moved into the basket (at the center of support mechanism 200), positioning assembly 208, through the action of downward-pressing cylinder 208a, pushes conical positioning head 208b downward, ensuring the material is accurately aligned within the basket. This design ensures the material's stability, while the conical positioning head's shape adapts to materials of varying shapes and sizes, providing reliable positioning and further improving the equipment's operating accuracy and safety. Throughout the entire production and transport process, the positioning assembly ensures that the material remains centered in the basket, effectively preventing production failures caused by material movement and improving production efficiency.

[0041] Preferably, the top of the top plate 204 is provided with eight grooves 204a, arranged in a horizontal and vertical arrangement. The design of these grooves 204a allows the position of the downward pressure cylinder 208a to be adjusted in various ways according to actual needs. By adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the downward pressure cylinder, the positioning assembly 208 can more flexibly adapt to materials or flower baskets of varying sizes, ensuring that materials are precisely compressed and positioned during conveying and lifting, further improving the adaptability and operational efficiency of the equipment.

[0042] In addition, a drag chain 104 is fixedly installed at the top between the two support plates 101. The drag chain 104 adopts an inverted U-shaped configuration. The function of the drag chain 104 is to manage and protect the transmission cables and air pipes of the equipment, preventing the cables from becoming entangled or damaged during the lifting process. The inverted U-shaped design not only saves space inside the equipment, but also effectively reduces cable friction, improving the overall operational stability and maintenance ease of the equipment. The installation of the drag chain ensures the smooth operation of the transmission and pneumatic systems during operation of the equipment, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0043] Preferably, a side plate 209 is installed at the right end between the two cross-support plates 206. This provides lateral protection for the flower basket during lifting and transportation, preventing lateral movement due to vibration or instability. A side bar 210 is fixedly mounted on the top of the side plate. This bar 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 204, further enhancing the support strength of the side plate and preventing deformation or loosening during use. The combined design of the side plate 209 and side bar 210 ensures the stability and safety of the flower basket during operation, effectively improving the reliability of the device.
