[0055] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the track-changing conveying equipment includes:

[0056] Frame body 10;

[0057] A plurality of first conveying members 20 are arranged at intervals on the upper end of the frame body 10 in a transverse direction, and each first conveying member 20 is moved in the vertical direction by a driving member 70;

[0058] A plurality of second conveying members 50 , the number of which is the same as that of the first conveying members 20 and which are arranged at intervals at the lower end of the frame body 10 , each second conveying member 50 being capable of docking with the first conveying member 20 moved downward;

[0059] The grabbing member 30 is laterally moved on the frame body 10 by the moving member 40 and includes:

[0060] Support arm 31, connected to moving part 40;

[0061] Cylinder 32, mounted on support arm 31;

[0062] A pair of grabbing plates 33 are connected to the output end of the cylinder 32 and can move closer to and away from each other to grab and release the turnover box.

[0063] Specifically, the frame body 10 can be formed into a square column frame by splicing and welding rectangular steel or aluminum profiles. The frame body 10 is used for overall support, and an adjustment rod and a shock-absorbing pad are installed at the lower end. That is, the adjustment rod is mainly connected by a thread, and the height is adjusted by rotation to achieve the overall horizontal adjustment of the frame body 10 to adapt to different installation environments. In addition, the shock-absorbing pad can ensure the overall stability of the frame body 10.

[0064] The number of the first conveying components 20 and the second conveying components 50 is the same, for example, the number of the first conveying components 20 and the second conveying components 50 are three groups, the first conveying components 20 and the second conveying components 50 are identical in structure, and can actively drive the turnover box to move, for example, including a plurality of rotating and spaced rollers, the plurality of rollers rotate in the same direction and at the same speed, that is, a pair of guide wheels is provided at one end of each roller, and two adjacent guide wheels are connected by a transmission belt wrapped around the outside thereof, one of the guide wheels is connected to a motor, that is, after the motor is started, it drives one of the guide wheels to rotate, and the guide wheel drives the adjacent guide wheel to rotate through the transmission belt, thereby realizing the same direction and speed rotation of multiple guide wheels / rollers;

[0065] The first conveying member 20 can move up and down, that is, when moving upward, it can receive the turnover boxes conveyed from other conveying members, and when moving downward to a certain position, it can transfer the turnover boxes from the first conveying member 20 to the second conveying member 50;

[0066] The grabbing component 30 is installed at the moving component 40, that is, the moving component 40 drives the grabbing component 30 to move horizontally to facilitate track change adjustment. The grabbing component 30 is used to grab and release the turnover box;

[0067] When the track-changing conveying equipment is in use, one of the first conveying components 20 is docked with the previous process, that is, one of the first conveying components 20 receives the turnover box;

[0068] The first conveying member 20 is marked as A, B, and C, and the second conveying member 50 is marked as a, b, and c. The first conveying member 20A receives the turnover box. When it is necessary to convey it from the second conveying member 50a, the first conveying member 20A is moved downward by the driving member 70 to a position where it can dock with the second conveying member 50a. Then, the first conveying member 20A and the second conveying member 50a convey the turnover box out.

[0069] When it is necessary to transport the turnover box from the second conveying member 50b, the grabbing member 30 first grabs the turnover box on the first conveying member 20A, and then moves horizontally to the first conveying member 20B under the action of the moving member 40, and places the turnover box on the first conveying member 20B. The first conveying member 20B is moved downward by the driving member 70 to a position where it can dock with the second conveying member 50b, and then the first conveying member 20B and the second conveying member 50B convey the turnover box out;

[0070] When it is necessary to transport the turnover box from the second conveying member 50c, the grabbing member 30 first grabs the turnover box on the first conveying member 20A, and then moves horizontally to the first conveying member 20C under the action of the moving member 40, and places the turnover box on the first conveying member 20C. The first conveying member 20C is moved downward by the driving member 70 to a position where it can dock with the second conveying member 50c, and then the first conveying member 20C and the second conveying member 50c convey the turnover box out;

[0071] This track-changing conveying equipment uses moving parts to drive the grabbing parts to place the turnover boxes on the first conveying parts at different positions, and then docks with the corresponding second conveying parts through the lifting and moving of the first conveying parts. It not only completes the track change between the first conveying parts and the second conveying parts, but also realizes the height adjustment of the turnover boxes, realizes staggered height transfer and completes multi-track staggered lifting and transfer, and is suitable for different conveying environments.

[0072] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the moving component 40 includes:

[0073] The first support plate 41 is arranged horizontally and has a first driving member 42 on its end side;

[0074] A first sliding block 43 is connected to the first driving member 42 and is driven to slide on the first supporting plate 41;

[0075] The support arm 31 is connected to the first slider 43, and the horizontal length of the first support plate 41 is greater than the arrangement distance of the plurality of first conveying components 20;

[0076] A pair of grab plates 33 are arranged longitudinally;

[0077] Specifically, the first driving member 42 can be an electric cylinder, which provides the necessary power for the movement of the first slider 43. The length of the first support plate 41 is greater than the horizontal length of the first conveying member 20, which is equivalent to the first support plate 41 having more workstations than the first conveying member 20. This workstation allows the grabbing member 30 to have reserved space. For example, when the first conveying member 20a initially receives a turnover box, the grabbing member 30 is located in the reserved space of the first support plate 41 under the action of the moving member 40. When the track is changed, the moving member 40 directly moves horizontally to drive a pair of grabbing plates 33 to be located longitudinally on both sides of the turnover box for grabbing, and then the turnover box is translated to another first conveying member 20.

[0078] After the track change is completed, the moving component 40 drives the grabbing component 30 to move to the reserved space of the first support plate 41, waiting for the next grab;

[0079] In this example, the first support plate 41 reserves space to facilitate the staggering of the grabbing component 30 and the turnover box, so that the grabbing component 30 can be smoothly translated to grab and release the turnover box, making movement easier.

[0080] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the moving component 40 includes:

[0081] The first support plate 41 is arranged horizontally and has a first driving member 42 on its end side;

[0082] A first sliding block 43 is connected to the first driving member 42 and is driven to slide on the first supporting plate 41;

[0083] The second support plate 44 is vertically arranged on the first slider 43;

[0084] A second slider 46 is connected to the second driving member 45 and is driven to slide on the second support plate 44;

[0085] Wherein, the support arm 31 is mounted on the second slider 46;

[0086] Specifically, the first support plate 41 is used for lateral movement, and the second support plate 44 is used for vertical height adjustment. That is, the first driving member 42 drives the first slider 43 to move horizontally on the first support plate 41, and the second driving member 45 drives the second slider 46 to move vertically on the second support plate 44. The first driving member 42 can be an electric cylinder, and the second driving member 45 can be a pneumatic cylinder, or both can be used in the same manner.

[0087] When the second conveying member 20A is moved to the upper position of the first conveying member 20B, the grabbing plate 33 is moved to the upper position of the second conveying member 20C, and the first conveying member 20C is moved to the lower position of the first conveying member 20B.

[0088] Therefore, this example can realize the track change of multiple turnover boxes on the first conveying component 20, which is more efficient and suitable for different usage environments.

[0089] In some examples of the present invention, the second slider 46 and the second support plate 44, and the first slider 43 and the first support plate 41 are connected by linear slide rails;

[0090] The number of the first conveying components 20 and the second conveying components 50 are both three;

[0091] Specifically, the linear slide rail can ensure the stability of the first slider 43 moving on the first support plate 41 and the second slider 46 moving on the second support plate 44 .

[0092] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 70 includes:

[0093] Drive motor 71;

[0094] The transmission shaft 72 is arranged vertically and is connected to the frame body 10 through a fixing plate 75;

[0095] The third slide plate 74 is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 75 and is threadedly connected to the transmission shaft 72;

[0096] Wherein, the first conveying member 20 is mounted on the third slide plate 74;

[0097] Specifically, the driving motor 71 may be a servo motor connected to a controller to ensure driving accuracy;

[0098] The two ends of the transmission shaft 72 are rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 75 through the fixing seat 73, and the fixing plate 75 can be fixed to the frame body 10 by bolts;

[0099] The driving motor 71 and the transmission shaft 72 may be connected via a transmission assembly, for example, the transmission assembly may include a driving wheel mounted on the output end of the driving motor 71 and a driven wheel mounted on the transmission shaft 72, wherein the driving wheel and the driven wheel are meshed and connected or connected via a wound transmission belt;

[0100] The third slide 74 is provided with an ear seat threadedly connected to the transmission shaft 72. When the drive is started, the transmission shaft 72 rotates, thereby driving the third slide 74 and the first conveying member 20 on the third slide 74 to move up and down.

[0101] In some examples of the present invention, the track-changing conveying device further includes an induction component 47;

[0102] The induction component 47 includes a first induction component and a second induction component;

[0103] a first sensing element configured to identify a lateral movement position of the moving component 40;

[0104] The second sensing element is configured to identify the vertical movement position of the first conveying member 20;

[0105] The sensing component 47 is connected to the controller and controls the movement of the moving component 40 and the driving component 70;

[0106] Specifically, the first sensing element and the second sensing element may be travel switches or photoelectric switches;

[0107] The second sensing member can be a pair and can be detachably mounted to determine the height travel of the first conveying member 20. That is, the upper second sensing member can ensure that the first conveying member 20 is at the highest position to receive the turnover box, and the lower second sensing member can ensure that the first conveying member 20 is at the lowest position to connect with the second conveying member 50.

[0108] There are multiple first sensing members corresponding to the first conveying member 20. For example, when the moving member 40 drives the grabbing member 30 to move to the first conveying member 20B, the corresponding first sensing member performs sensing.

[0109] The controller controls the movements of the moving component 40 and the driving component 70, and can realize automatic control of different positions.

[0110] In some examples of the present invention, the induction component 47 further includes a third induction component;

[0111] a third sensing element configured to identify the up and down movement position of the second slider 46;

[0112] Specifically, the third sensing element may be similar to the second sensing element and configured to adjust the height of the second slider 46 .

[0113] In some examples of the present invention, the second conveying component 50 is mounted on a support base 60;

[0114] The support base 60 is installed on the frame body 10 in a lifting manner;

[0115] Specifically, the support base 60 can be installed in a liftable manner, the purpose of which is to match output lines of different heights, that is, the heights of the second conveying components 50a, b, and c can be different. At this time, the first conveying component 20 is lifted and moved to the corresponding second conveying component 50, realizing outputs of different heights when the turnover boxes of uniform height are changed downward.
