Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a transfer and conveying mechanism for an assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] In assembly line operations, products or fixtures are often transferred between different assembly lines, which requires the use of assembly line transfer and conveying mechanisms.

[0003] Existing transfer and conveying mechanisms for production lines, such as the transport and exchange mechanism disclosed in patent literature for an electroplating production line (application number: 201520104489.7), include a trolley, a first motor for driving the trolley, a hanging arm fixedly mounted on the trolley, a second motor for driving the extension and retraction of the hanging arm, and a conveyor rod erected between production line one and production line two. A second hanger for hooking and holding hangers is provided at the bottom of the hanging arm. Further, the hanging arm includes a fixed rod with a through hole, and a connecting part is integrally provided on the second hanger, which slides and engages with the through hole. In this transport and exchange mechanism, the second hanger is guided to move up and down through the engagement of the connecting part and the through hole. However, in actual manufacturing, to ensure smooth up and down sliding of the second hanger and to reduce its sliding resistance, it is difficult to achieve a tight fit between the connecting part and the through hole. This results in a less than ideal guiding effect on the second hanger, insufficient stability during its up and down movement, and a defect in low operational stability for the transport and exchange mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a transfer and conveying mechanism for assembly lines. This invention solves the problem of low operational stability in existing transfer and conveying mechanisms for assembly lines.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a transfer and conveying mechanism for an assembly line, comprising a guide rail bracket and a sliding bracket slidably mounted on the guide rail bracket, wherein the sliding bracket is provided with a guide tube arranged vertically, and a vertically arranged and vertically movable boom is provided inside the guide tube, wherein a set of circumferentially rotating guide rollers are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the guide tube, and the boom passes between the set of guide rollers at the top of the guide tube and the set of guide rollers at the bottom of the guide tube, and the outer peripheral surface of each guide roller abuts against the surface of the boom.

[0006] In the transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line, the boom is used to lift the fixtures on the production line. Because a set of circumferentially rotating guide rollers is provided at the top and bottom of the guide tube, and the boom passes between the set of guide rollers at the top and bottom of the guide tube respectively, the guide rollers can directly abut against the surface of the boom during its up-and-down movement and rotate with the boom's movement. This effectively guides the boom, preventing swaying or tilting during its up-and-down movement, thus improving the working stability of this transfer and conveying mechanism.

[0007] The transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line is mainly used in fly larvae hatching and rearing systems to transfer egg-collecting trays between different production lines. Specifically, the fly larvae hatching and rearing system includes an egg-collecting production line and a rearing production line, both of which are equipped with egg-collecting trays that can move along their respective production lines. Flies lay eggs on the egg-collecting trays on the egg-collecting production line. Then, the transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line transfers the egg-collecting trays containing eggs from the egg-collecting production line to the rearing production line for rearing, where they develop into larvae. After the larvae have developed, the larvae are emptied from the egg-collecting trays, creating empty trays. At this point, the transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line can also transfer the empty egg-collecting trays from the rearing production line to the egg-collecting conveyor line, thus creating a cycle that improves the system's automation and rearing efficiency.

[0008] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the assembly line, the boom includes a rectangular tubular arm body and lifting claws connected to the lower end of the arm body. The arm body passes between a set of guide rollers at the top of the guide tube and a set of guide rollers at the bottom of the guide tube. The rectangular tubular arm body increases the contact area between itself and the guide rollers, thereby improving the guiding effect and making the boom more stable during vertical movement.

[0009] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the production line, the guide tube is rectangular in shape, and its upper end is fixed to the sliding support. This structure ensures convenient installation and good stability of the guide tube.

[0010] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the assembly line, a vertically arranged rack is fixedly connected to the body of the boom. One of the guide rollers located at the top of the guide tube has teeth on its outer peripheral wall that mesh with the rack, and a drive source is connected to this guide roller to drive its rotation. The drive source drives the guide roller to rotate, thereby causing the rack and boom to move up and down. The up and down movement of the boom allows the hanger to be lifted from or attached to the assembly line.

[0011] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the assembly line, both the guide rail support and the sliding support are rectangular frames. The sliding support is horizontally positioned, and the guide rail support has two opposing guide beams. The sliding support has two opposing mounting beams, which are parallel to the guide beams. The two mounting beams are slidably positioned above the two guide beams, corresponding one-to-one. The rectangular frame shape of both the guide rail support and the sliding support facilitates manufacturing and reduces costs. The slidable mounting beams above the two guide beams provide stable support for the sliding support, improving the stability of its sliding process and thus enhancing the operational stability of the transfer and conveying mechanism.

[0012] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the assembly line, two axles are vertically connected between the two mounting beams. Each axle has a support wheel at both ends, which rolls on the top surface of the mounting beam. A second drive source is connected to one of the axles to drive its rotation. When the second drive source drives the axle to rotate, the support wheel on that axle rotates synchronously, thereby realizing the movement of the sliding bracket. By setting the axles, the installation of the support wheels is facilitated, allowing the sliding bracket to move smoothly on the guide rail bracket.

[0013] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the production line, a guide tube is fixedly connected to each mounting beam, and each guide tube contains a vertically positioned, movable boom. This structure allows the transfer and conveying mechanism to simultaneously transfer two sets of fixtures, improving production efficiency.

[0014] In the aforementioned transfer and conveying mechanism of the assembly line, both drive source one and drive source two are electric motors.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Because a set of circumferentially rotating guide rollers are provided at the top and bottom of the guide tube, and the boom passes between the set of guide rollers at the top of the guide tube and the set of guide rollers at the bottom of the guide tube, the guide rollers can directly abut against the surface of the boom during the up and down movement of the boom, and rotate with the movement of the boom. This can effectively guide the boom and prevent the boom from swaying or tilting during the up and down movement, thereby improving the working stability of this transfer and conveying mechanism.

[0017] 2. The transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line can transfer two sets of fixtures simultaneously, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line includes a guide rail bracket 1 and a sliding bracket 2 slidably mounted on the guide rail bracket 1. The sliding bracket 2 is provided with a guide tube 3 arranged vertically. Inside the guide tube 3 is a vertically arranged and vertically movable boom 4. The top and bottom of the guide tube 3 are respectively provided with a set of circumferentially rotating guide rollers 5. The boom 4 passes between the set of guide rollers 5 at the top of the guide tube 3 and between the set of guide rollers 5 at the bottom of the guide tube 3, and the outer circumferential surface of each guide roller 5 abuts against the surface of the boom 4.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the boom 4 includes a rectangular tubular boom 41 and a lifting claw 42 connected to the lower end of the boom 41. The boom 41 passes between a set of guide rollers 5 at the top of the guide tube 3 and between a set of guide rollers 5 at the bottom of the guide tube 3. The guide tube 3 is rectangular tubular, and its upper end is fixed to the sliding bracket 2.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown, a vertically arranged rack 6 is fixedly connected inside the boom 41 of the boom 4. One of the guide rollers 5 located at the top of the guide tube 3 has teeth on its outer peripheral wall that mesh with the rack 6, and a drive source 7 is connected to the guide roller 5 to drive its rotation. The drive source 7 drives the guide roller 5 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 6 and the boom 4 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the boom 4 allows the hanger to be lifted from or hung on the assembly line.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, both the guide rail bracket 1 and the sliding bracket 2 are rectangular frames. The sliding bracket 2 is horizontally positioned. The guide rail bracket 1 has two opposing guide beams 1a, and the sliding bracket 2 has two opposing mounting beams 2a. The mounting beams 2a are parallel to the guide beams 1a, and the two mounting beams 2a are slidably positioned above the two guide beams 1a in a one-to-one correspondence. Each mounting beam 2a is fixedly connected to a guide tube 3, and each guide tube 3 contains a vertically positioned boom 4 that can move up and down.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, two axles 8 are vertically connected between the two mounting beams 2a. Each axle 8 has a support wheel 9 at both ends, which rolls on the top surface of the mounting beam 2a. A second drive source 10 is connected to one of the axles 8 to drive its rotation. Both the first drive source 7 and the second drive source 10 are motors.

[0031] The transfer and conveying mechanism of this production line is used to transfer fixtures between two production lines. The production lines and fixtures utilize existing technology. In operation, drive source 2 10 drives the support wheel 9 to rotate, causing the sliding bracket 2, carrying the boom 4, to move one end of the guide rail bracket 1, thus approaching one of the production lines. Then, drive source 1 7 drives the boom 4 to move upwards, lifting the fixture from the production line. After lifting the fixture, drive source 2 10 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the sliding bracket 2, carrying the boom 4, to move to the other end of the guide rail bracket 1, thus approaching the other production line. Finally, drive source 1 7 drives the boom 4 downwards, placing the fixture onto the other production line.
