DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] At present, the AGV back roller conveying device or the AGV carrying robot device is commonly used in the prior art to realize automatic carrying and conveying of materials. For the scheme of using the AGV back roller conveying device to transfer materials, there are problems of only being able to dock conveying at the same height or manual taking and placing and having the risk of material falling, and the problem of being unable to automatically adapt to different width specifications of products, that is, being unable to meet the conveying of different width specifications of products. For the scheme of using the AGV carrying robot device to transfer materials, not only is there the problem of high equipment cost, but also the applicability is poor for occasions that do not need complex positioning and taking and placing, and since the AGV needs to be moved to a specified position and positioned, and then a six-axis robot is used to realize grabbing and carrying and at least two or more grabbing actions are needed, the required time is far more than the action time of direct conveying line docking, so that the efficiency is greatly reduced.

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0037] Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the mobile docking conveying equipment provided by the present embodiment is shown in Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a mobile docking conveying equipment, which comprises an AGV 010 and a docking conveying device 020 carried by the AGV 010, wherein the docking conveying device 020 comprises a lifting mechanism 100 and a conveying mechanism 200, the lifting mechanism 100 is installed on the AGV 010, and the conveying mechanism 200 is installed on the lifting output end of the lifting mechanism 100.

[0038] Figure 2 The partial structure schematic diagram of the mobile docking conveying equipment provided by the present embodiment is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 One end of the conveying mechanism 200 in the conveying direction is provided with a docking mechanism 300, the docking mechanism 300 has an extended position connected with the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200, and a retracted position below the conveying mechanism 200. Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The docking mechanism 300 shown in

[0039] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the "conveying direction" can be indicated by the arrow ab in Figure 2 The "first direction" in the following can be indicated by the arrow cd in Figure 2 The first direction is parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the conveying direction.

[0040] When the material needs to be transferred, the AGV 010 can be moved to the position where the material is located, and the docking mechanism 300 is directed to the material. Then, according to the height of the material, the lifting mechanism 100 can be used to lift the conveying mechanism 200 to the same height position, and the docking mechanism 300 is switched to the extended position to connect the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200, so that the material can be guided to the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200 by the docking mechanism 300 to achieve the receiving of the material. Then, the docking mechanism 300 is switched from the extended position to the retracted position below the conveying mechanism 200, and the AGV 010 is moved to the material placing position again. The docking mechanism 300 is directed to the equipment to be docked, and according to the height to be placed, the lifting mechanism 100 is used to adjust the conveying mechanism 200 to the same height position, and the docking mechanism 300 is switched from the retracted position to the extended position to guide the material from the conveying mechanism 200 to the equipment to be docked by the docking mechanism 300.

[0041] The mobile docking conveying device can adjust the conveying mechanism 200 to the same height position according to the docking height by the lifting mechanism 100. In addition, the docking mechanism 300 is arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 200, so that the conveying mechanism 200 can be connected to the corresponding equipment by the docking mechanism 300 during the receiving and transferring of the material, and the material can not fall during the receiving and transferring process, thereby effectively solving the technical problems in the prior art. In addition, the docking mechanism 300 can be switched to the retracted position during the movement of the mobile docking conveying device, so that it is hidden below the conveying mechanism 200 to avoid interference with the surrounding equipment during the movement.

[0042] In addition, the mobile docking conveying device does not need to set a six-axis robot with complex structure and high cost, thereby effectively reducing the cost. Moreover, the mobile docking conveying device can directly dock with the corresponding equipment by the conveying mechanism 200 and the docking mechanism 300 to receive and transfer the material, which is not only suitable for occasions that do not need complex positioning and placing, but also saves the cumbersome steps of multiple grabbing and placing by the six-axis robot in the past, thereby effectively improving the efficiency.

[0043] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200 can convey the material in both directions. Specifically, when receiving the material, the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200 can make the material enter the conveying line 220 through the docking mechanism 300. When transferring the material, the conveying line 220 of the conveying mechanism 200 can make the material enter the equipment to be docked through the docking mechanism 300.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the material can be a tray or a box.

[0045] In the embodiment, the conveying line 220 can be a conveying belt. In other embodiments, the conveying line 220 can also be a plurality of rollers arranged side by side.

[0046] Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of the docking mechanism 300 of the mobile docking conveying device provided in the embodiment is shown. Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , and combine Figure 3 In the embodiment, the conveying mechanism 200 can include a support frame 210 and a conveying line 220 arranged on the support frame 210. Specifically, the support frame 210 is fixedly connected with the lifting output end of the lifting mechanism 100. The docking mechanism 300 includes a turnover frame 310 and a plurality of support rollers 320. Specifically, the turnover frame 310 is rotatably installed on the support frame 210, and the turnover axis of the turnover frame 310 is along the first direction. In the extended position, the plurality of support rollers 320 are arranged in the conveying direction.

[0047] When it is needed to switch the docking mechanism 300 from the retracted position to the extended position, the turnover frame 310 can be turned over, so that the plurality of support rollers 320 are in contact with the conveying line 220, thereby realizing the receiving and transferring of the materials. When it is needed to switch the docking mechanism 300 from the extended position to the retracted position, the turnover frame 310 can be reversely turned over, so that the plurality of support rollers 320 are hidden below the conveying mechanism 200, thereby reducing the transverse dimension of the docking conveying device 020, and thus reducing the risk of collision of the mobile docking conveying device with the surrounding devices during the movement.

[0048] This way of switching the docking mechanism 300 between the retracted position and the extended position by turnover has a simple structure and is easy to arrange.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the turnover frame 310 is rotatably connected to the support frame 210 through a turnover shaft 350. Specifically, the turnover shaft 350 is rotatably connected with the support frame 210, and the turnover frame 310 is fixedly connected with the turnover shaft 350.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the docking mechanism 300 can further include an electric push rod 330 and a turnover crankshaft 340. Specifically, the housing of the electric push rod 330 is rotatably installed on the support frame 210, one end of the turnover crankshaft 340 is rotatably connected with the push rod of the electric push rod 330, and the other end of the turnover crankshaft 340 is rotatably installed on the support frame 210 and is fixedly connected with the turnover frame 310. Specifically, the turnover crankshaft 340 is fixedly connected with the turnover shaft 350.

[0051] When it is needed to switch the docking mechanism 300 from the retracted position to the extended position, the push rod of the electric push rod 330 can be extended to drive the turnover crankshaft 340 to rotate, wherein in the process of the turnover crankshaft 340 rotating, the turnover frame 310 fixedly connected with the turnover shaft 350 will perform a turnover action, so that the supporting roller 320 reaches the position of docking with the conveying line 220; when it is needed to switch the docking mechanism 300 from the extended position to the retracted position, the push rod of the electric push rod 330 can be retracted to drive the turnover crankshaft 340 to reversely rotate, wherein in the process of the turnover crankshaft 340 reversely rotating, the turnover frame 310 fixedly connected with the turnover shaft 350 will perform a reverse turnover action, so that the supporting roller 320 is hidden below the conveying mechanism 200.

[0052] This way of driving the turnover crankshaft 340 to rotate by using the electric push rod 330 to realize the switching of the docking mechanism 300 between the retracted position and the extended position can realize automatic turnover of the docking mechanism 300, and has a high degree of automation.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the number of the supporting rollers 320 is two. In actual use, the number of the supporting rollers 320 can also be increased or decreased according to needs and material characteristics.

[0054] Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the conveying mechanism 200 and the width adjusting mechanism 400 of the mobile docking conveying device provided in the embodiment. Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and combine Figure 4 In the embodiment, the docking conveying device 020 can also include the width adjusting mechanism 400, specifically, the width adjusting mechanism 400 is installed on the supporting frame 210, the width adjusting mechanism 400 includes a first guide arm 410, a second guide arm 420 and a driving assembly 430, wherein the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 are both extended along the conveying direction and are arranged in a first direction.

[0055] When the width of the material changes, such as when the width of the material increases, the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 can be driven away from each other by the driving assembly 430 to meet the conveying needs of the wider material; when the width of the material decreases, the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 can be driven closer to each other by the driving assembly 430 to meet the conveying needs of the narrower material, so as to prevent the material from deviating from its conveying path.

[0056] The width adjusting mechanism 400 can automatically adjust the width of the limiting part, thereby meeting the conveying requirements of materials with different widths and improving the universality.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the first guide plate 460 is arranged at one end of the first guide arm 410 facing the docking mechanism 300, and the second guide plate 470 is arranged at one end of the second guide arm 420 facing the docking mechanism 300, wherein the first guide plate 460 and the second guide plate 470 are arranged in an open manner.

[0058] Through the above arrangement, when the material is received by the docking conveying device 020, since the movement path of the material is from the docking mechanism 300 to the conveying mechanism 200, the first guide plate 460 and the second guide plate 470 can guide the material to smoothly enter the conveying line 220 through the docking mechanism 300.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the driving assembly 430 can include a width adjusting motor 431 and first and second screw rods 432 and 433 with opposite rotation directions. Specifically, the first and second screw rods 432 and 433 are coaxially arranged, the width adjusting motor 431 is configured to drive the first and second screw rods 432 and 433 to synchronously rotate, the first guide arm 410 is screw-coupled with the first screw rod 432, and the second guide arm 420 is screw-coupled with the second screw rod 433. A first guide mechanism 440 is arranged between the first guide arm 410 and the support frame 210, and the first guide mechanism 440 is configured to guide the first guide arm 410 to move in a first direction. A second guide mechanism 450 is arranged between the second guide arm 420 and the support frame 210, and the second guide mechanism 450 is configured to guide the second guide arm 420 to move in the first direction.

[0060] For example, the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 are moved away from each other by rotating the width-adjusting motor 431 in the forward direction. When the width of the material increases, the width-adjusting motor 431 is rotated in the forward direction to drive the first screw rod 432 and the second screw rod 433 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the first screw rod 432, the first guide arm 410 is moved away from the second guide arm 420 in the first direction under the cooperation of the first guide arm 410 and the first screw rod 432 and the guidance of the first guide mechanism 440 to the first guide arm 410. During the rotation of the second screw rod 433, the second guide arm 420 is moved away from the first guide arm 410 in the first direction under the cooperation of the second guide arm 420 and the second screw rod 433 and the guidance of the second guide mechanism 450 to the second guide arm 420. Thus, the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 are moved away from each other. Similarly, when the width of the material decreases, the width-adjusting motor 431 is rotated in the reverse direction to move the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 closer to each other.

[0061] The structure of moving the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 closer to or away from each other only needs one width-adjusting motor 431, which is low in cost and saves installation space. In addition, after the width-adjusting mechanism 400 completes the width adjustment, the first guide arm 410 is self-locked by the cooperation of the first screw rod 432 and the first guide arm 410, and the second guide arm 420 is self-locked by the cooperation of the second screw rod 433 and the second guide arm 420, so that the positions of the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 do not change during the operation of the mobile butt joint conveying device.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the first guide mechanism 440 includes a first mounting seat 441 and a first guide shaft 442. The first mounting seat 441 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 210 and is provided with a first guide hole. The first guide shaft 442 extends in the first direction and is fixedly connected with the first guide arm 410. The first guide shaft 442 is in sliding cooperation with the first guide hole.

[0063] The first guide shaft 442 and the first mounting seat 441 are in sliding cooperation to guide the first guide arm 410 in the first direction, which is simple in structure and reliable in guidance.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figure 4In the embodiment, similarly, the second guide mechanism 450 can include a second mounting seat 451 and a second guide shaft 452, the second mounting seat 451 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 210, and the second mounting seat 451 is provided with a second guide hole; the second guide shaft 452 extends along the first direction and is fixedly connected with the second guide arm 420, and the second guide shaft 452 is in sliding fit with the second guide hole.

[0065] This form of guiding the second guide arm 420 along the second direction by the sliding fit of the second guide shaft 452 and the second mounting seat 451 is simple in structure and reliable in guiding.

[0066] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first guide mechanism 440 and the second guide mechanism 450 are both provided with two groups, and the two groups of the first guide mechanism 440 and the two groups of the second guide mechanism 450 are both arranged at intervals along the conveying direction. This arrangement can guide the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 at multiple positions, effectively avoiding jamming of the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420 during movement, thereby ensuring smooth movement of both the first guide arm 410 and the second guide arm 420.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the width adjusting motor 431 is located at the middle part of the conveying mechanism 200 along the first direction, and the width adjusting motor 431 is connected with the first lead screw 432 and the second lead screw 433 through a belt transmission mechanism 434.

[0068] By placing the width adjusting motor 431 at the middle part of the conveying mechanism 200, on the one hand, the occupation of the lateral space of the conveying mechanism 200 can be reduced, thereby reducing the transverse dimension of the conveying mechanism 200, and on the other hand, the rotating power can be directly output to the first lead screw 432 and the second lead screw 433.

[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the belt transmission mechanism 434 can include a driving pulley 4341, a driven pulley 4342 and a transmission belt 4343, specifically, the driving pulley 4341 is fixedly sleeved on the motor shaft of the width adjusting motor 431, the driven pulley 4342 is coaxially fixedly connected with the first lead screw 432 and the second lead screw 433, and the transmission belt 4343 is sleeved on the driving pulley 4341 and the driven pulley 4342.

[0071] When it is necessary to raise or lower the conveying mechanism 200, the first lead screw module 110 and the second lead screw module 120 can be activated to raise or lower the first lifting output end 111 and the second lifting output end 121, thereby applying lifting and lowering power to the bridge plate 130 on both sides, realizing the raising and lowering of the bridge plate 130, and further realizing the raising and lowering of the support frame 210 fixedly connected to the bridge plate 130, so as to achieve the purpose of raising or lowering the conveying mechanism 200.

[0072] This method of using the first lead screw module 110 and the second lead screw module 120 to realize the lifting and lowering of the conveying mechanism 200 has two advantages. First, it can provide lifting and lowering power to both sides of the bridge plate 130, ensuring the force balance of the bridge plate 130 and avoiding excessive load caused by force on one side of the bridge plate 130. Second, after the bridge plate 130 is lifted and lowered into place, the self-locking action of the first lead screw module 110 and the second lead screw module 120 can be used to fix the bridge plate 130 in that position.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 100 includes a first motor 140 and a second motor 150. The first motor 140 is driven to connect with the first lead screw module 110 and is used to drive the first lifting output end 111 to lift. The second motor 150 is driven to connect with the second lead screw module 120 and is used to drive the second lifting output end 121 to lift.

[0074] This setup not only enables the automatic lifting and lowering of the first lifting output terminal 111 and the second lifting output terminal 121, but also reduces the load on the selected motor by providing the first motor 140 and the second motor 150 for the first lead screw module 110 and the second lead screw module 120 respectively to achieve their lifting and lowering actions. This allows a smaller motor to meet the corresponding driving requirements and ensures reliable driving.

[0075] It should be noted that how to use the first motor 140 to realize the lifting driving of the first lifting output end 111 of the first lead screw module 110, and how to use the second motor 150 to realize the lifting driving of the second lifting output end 121 of the second lead screw module 120, are all obtained by those skilled in the art according to the prior art, and are not the improvement focus of the present application, so they will not be described in detail.

[0076] Figure 8 The structure diagram of another lifting mechanism 100 of the mobile docking conveying equipment provided in the embodiment is shown in the figure. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the lifting mechanism 100 can also have the following form. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 100 includes a driving motor 160, a first gear steering device 170, a transmission shaft 180 and a second gear steering device 190, wherein the first gear steering device 170 is connected with the first lead screw module 110, the second gear steering device 190 is connected with the second lead screw module 120, and the transmission shaft 180 connects the first gear steering device 170 and the second gear steering device 190; the driving motor 160 is drivingly connected with the first gear steering device 170 or the second gear steering device 190.

[0077] In the embodiment, the driving motor 160 and the first gear steering device 170 are drivingly connected as an example. When the lifting of the bridge plate 130 needs to be performed by using the lifting mechanism 100, the driving motor 160 can be started, the driving motor 160 is used to output the rotating power to the first gear steering device 170, the rotating power is output to the first lead screw module 110 through the first gear steering device 170, the lifting driving of the first lifting output end 111 is realized, at the same time, the rotating power is also output to the second gear steering device 190 through the first gear steering device 170 and the transmission shaft 180, and further output to the second lead screw module 120 through the second gear steering device 190, the lifting driving of the second lifting output end 121 is realized, so as to achieve the purpose of lifting the bridge plate 130.

[0078] The setting form of the lifting mechanism 100 not only can realize the driving of the first lifting output end 111 and the second lifting output end 121, and realize the automatic lifting, but also the first gear steering device 170, the second gear steering device 190 and the transmission shaft 180 are set, so that the lifting mechanism 100 can realize the simultaneous lifting driving of the first lead screw module 110 and the second lead screw module 120 by using only one driving motor 160, and the driving synchronization is high.

[0079] In the embodiment, the lifting distance of the first lifting output end 111 and the second lifting output end 121 can be set to multiple height points according to the conveying height of the docking equipment on site.

[0080] It should be noted that the specific structure of the first gear steering device 170 and how it diverts the rotational power of the drive motor 160 to output to the first lead screw module 110, and the specific structure of the second gear steering device 190 and how it diverts the rotational power transmitted by the transmission shaft 180 to output to the second lead screw module 120, are all obtainable by those skilled in the art based on the prior art, and are not the focus of improvement of the present application, so they will not be described in detail.

[0081] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the mobile docking conveying device can further include an electric control box 030, wherein the electric control box 030 is installed on the AGV 010 and closely adheres to one lead screw module of the lifting mechanism 100.
