Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a material transfer tool suitable for multiple types of products. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a material transfer automation tool with high production efficiency, simple structure and low maintenance cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, a full-automatic material transfer device is provided, which comprises a feeding rack, a turnover device and a transfer rack, the feeding rack is provided with a hopper, the left and right sides of the hopper are respectively provided with a tray feeding position and a tray storage position, the turnover device is arranged at the conveying end of the tray feeding position, the transfer rack is connected with the discharge port of the hopper, the turnover device comprises a turnover frame and a driving device, the turnover frame is matched with the output shaft of the driving device, the turnover frame is provided with a clamping groove, the upper and lower ends of the clamping groove are symmetrically provided with clamping plates, when transferring materials, the tray is conveyed to the clamping groove through the tray feeding position, the driving device rotates the turnover frame to pour the materials into the hopper, and the tray is conveyed to the tray storage position, at the same time, the materials are transmitted to the next assembly line through the transfer rack.

[0006] Based on the above, when the material is transferred, the tray feeding position transmits the tray loaded with the material to the clamping groove, the driving device rotates the turnover frame to pour the material into the hopper, and the tray is transported to the tray storage position, while the material reaches the lower end of the turnover frame through the discharge port, and then the turnover frame transmits the material to the next assembly line. The whole process is automatically carried out, without too much manual intervention, reducing the work intensity and improving the work efficiency. At the same time, the whole device is composed of turnover device, tray storage position and turnover frame, which are independently operated, reducing the maintenance cost in the later period.

[0007] Further, the feeding rack comprises a first conveying belt and a second conveying belt, the first conveying belt is arranged on the tray feeding position, and the second conveying belt is arranged directly above the hopper.

[0008] Based on the above, the first conveying belt drives the tray to reach the clamping groove through friction, the driving device drives the turnover frame to complete 180° rotation, and the tray is placed on the second conveying belt, and the second conveying belt uses the friction formed between the tray to transfer the tray to the tray storage position for storage.

[0009] Further, the tray storage position comprises a tray storage rack and a carrier plate, motors are arranged on both sides of the tray storage rack, a lead screw is connected to the output end of the motor, the other end of the lead screw is rotationally connected with the tray storage rack, a driving plate is arranged on the carrier plate, the driving plate is rotationally connected with the lead screw, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the carrier plate is lifted and lowered under the drive of the lead screw.

[0010] Based on the above, the carrier plate is lifted and lowered by double lead screw transmission, so that the carrier plate is more stable and reliable during lifting and lowering, the load capacity of the carrier plate is increased, and the service life of the carrier plate is improved.

[0011] Further, a plurality of guide rods are arranged on the tray storage rack, and guide blocks are arranged on the carrier plate.

[0014] Based on the above, the first sensor detects whether a pallet has reached the carrier. When this occurs, the motor rotates, lowering the carrier by one pallet's height. When the second actuator detects the carrier has reached its designated position, the carrier stops descending and rings an alarm to notify staff. The carrier then resets itself after an empty pallet is manually removed. This automated workflow reduces staff workload and improves efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, a buffer cloth cover is provided inside the funnel, and there is a buffer distance between the buffer cloth cover and the metal surface of the funnel. When the material is poured, the material falls on the buffer cloth cover, thereby preventing the impact force from causing damage to the material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 The figure shows a fully automatic material transfer device, which includes a feed rack 1, a tilting device 2 and a transfer rack 3. A hopper 4 is installed on the feed rack 1. A pallet feed position 5 and a pallet storage position 6 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the hopper 4. The tilting device 2 is provided at the conveying end of the pallet feed position 5. The transfer rack 3 is connected to the 28 of the hopper 4. The feed rack 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12. The first conveyor belt 11 is provided on the pallet feed position 5, and the second conveyor belt 12 is provided directly above the hopper 4.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tilting device 2 includes a turning frame 7 and a drive device 8. The turning frame 7 cooperates with the output shaft of the drive device 8. The turning frame 7 is provided with a clamping groove 9, and clamping plates 10 are symmetrically provided at the upper and lower ends of the clamping groove 9. The first conveyor belt 11 conveys a tray 13 containing materials into the clamping groove 9. The drive device 8 rotates the turning frame 7 to pour the materials into the funnel 4. The tray 13 is conveyed to the storage tray via the second conveyor belt 12. At the same time, the materials are transported to the next production line via the transfer frame 3.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the tray storage position 6 includes a disk storage rack 14 and a carrier plate 15, and a motor 16 is provided on both sides of the disk storage rack 14. The output end of the motor 16 is cooperated with the installation of a screw rod 17, and the other end of the screw rod 17 is rotatably matched with the disk storage rack 14. Guide rods 19 are also provided on both sides of the motor 16, and the guide rods 19 are parallel to the screw rod 17 and fixedly mounted on the disk storage rack 14. A driving plate 18 and a guide block 20 are provided on the carrier plate 15, and the driving plate 18 is provided with a thread. The screw rod 17 is rotatably matched with the driving plate 18 through the thread, and the guide block 20 is slidably matched with the guide rod 19. By driving the motor 16 to drive the screw rod 17 to rotate, the carrier plate 15 is lifted and lowered under the drive of the screw rod 17. At the same time, the guide rod 19 and the guide block 20 guide the lifting and lowering of the carrier plate 15, so that the carrier plate 15 is more stable and smooth during the lifting process.

[0031] The disk storage rack 14 is equipped with a sensor mounting plate 21, which is equipped with sensor 1 22 and sensor 2 23. Sensor 1 22 detects whether a tray 13 has reached the carrier plate 15. When a tray 13 is detected, the motor 16 rotates, lowering the carrier plate 15 by the height of the tray 13. When the second actuator detects that the carrier plate 15 has reached the corresponding position, it stops descending and rings an alarm to notify the relevant staff. It then resets itself after the empty tray 13 is manually removed. This automated workflow reduces staff workload and improves efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the transfer rack 3 is equipped with a vibrating conveyor belt 25, which is inclined relative to the ground and is equipped with several baffles 26. During material conveying, a vibrator located below the conveyor belt 25 slightly vibrates, evenly distributing the material on the conveyor belt 25. A protective guide cover 27 is located at the starting point of the conveyor belt 25 and directly below the discharge port 28. When material falls from the discharge port 28 onto the conveyor belt 25, the protective guide cover 27 blocks the material from falling off the conveyor belt 25, preventing it from doing so.

[0033] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: During material transfer, the first conveyor belt 11 transfers a pallet 13 loaded with material to the clamping groove 9. The drive device 8 rotates the tilting frame 7. When the tilting frame 7 rotates 90 degrees to the horizontal, the material on the pallet 13 falls onto the hopper 4. Because the hopper 4 is provided with a cushioning bag, the cushioning bag 24 greatly reduces the impact of the falling material, preventing damage to the material. The drive device 8 drives the tilting frame 7 to complete a 180-degree rotation, placing the pallet 13 onto the second conveyor belt 12. The second conveyor belt 12 utilizes friction with the pallet 13 to transfer the pallet 13 to the carrier plate 15. When the pallet 13 is detected on the carrier plate 15, the motor 16 rotates to lower the carrier plate 15 by the height of the pallet 13. When the second actuator detects that the carrier plate 15 has reached the corresponding position, the carrier plate 15 stops descending and rings an alarm to notify the relevant staff, waiting for the empty pallet 13 to be manually removed before resetting. At the same time, the material is transported to the conveyor belt 25 through the discharge port 28, and the protective guide cover 27 blocks the material that is about to fall out of the conveyor belt 25. Then, the conveyor belt 25 transfers the material to the next production line.

[0034] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications or replacements of the present invention made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence and protection scope of the present invention should also be within the protection scope of the present invention.
