Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic assembly, a single assembly line needs to be compatible with the production of multiple products, and a single workstation needs to stock multiple materials. When the product batch is large, a large amount of materials need to be stored in order to improve production efficiency.

[0003] Material management on traditional production lines relies on a combination of manual labor and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). AGVs transport boxed materials to designated workstations, where workers then manually move the boxes onto workbenches. This approach leaves little room for storing additional materials, often failing to meet the demands of continuous operation during mass production. Inability to replenish materials promptly can disrupt production processes, ultimately reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a transfer device, which includes: a frame 10, a material-receiving layer 20, a full-load storage layer 30, and a transfer assembly 40. The frame 10 has a cavity 101, a first material inlet 102, and a second material inlet 103. Both the first and second material inlets 102 and 103 are connected to the cavity 101 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the frame 10 along a horizontal direction. The first material inlet 102 is used for loading and unloading the material box 01, and the second material inlet 103 is used for removing material from the material box 01. The material-receiving layer 20 and the full-load storage layer 30 are vertically distributed within the cavity 101. Both the material-receiving layer 20 and the full-load storage layer 30 can receive or transfer the material box 01. The material-receiving layer 20 has a second material inlet 103. The transfer assembly 40 is vertically movable within the cavity 101. The transfer assembly 40 can receive or transfer the material bin 01 between the material receiving layer 20 and the full-load storage layer 30. The transfer assembly 40 has a first material inlet 102. A second material inlet 103 communicates with a manual positioning line 03, which is used by workers to assemble materials or perform subsequent processes.

[0032] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the full-load storage layer 30 can store the material bins 01 fully loaded on the transfer component 40. This provides the transfer device with space to store excess material bins 01, ensuring the continuity of material supply and preventing interruptions in the production process due to discontinuous feeding. It also reduces the time required to replenish materials from the AGV 02, improving the efficiency of subsequent production processes. Furthermore, through the above arrangement, automated exchange of material bins 01 between the AGV 02, transfer component 40, picking layer 20, and full-load storage layer 30 is achieved. This not only enables efficient and accurate material bin transfer but also avoids time waste and error rates associated with manual handling. Moreover, the picking layer 20 and full-load storage layer 30 are vertically distributed within the cavity 101, fully utilizing the vertical space and increasing the storage capacity of material bins 01 within the same floor area, thus improving the space utilization rate of the device.

[0033] In this embodiment, the specific locations of the material taking layer 20 and the full-load storage layer 30 are not limited. The material taking layer 20 can be placed above the full-load storage layer 30 or below the full-load storage layer 30.

[0034] Furthermore, the transfer device includes two sets of fully loaded storage layers 30, which are arranged vertically at intervals within the cavity 101, thereby improving the storage capacity of the transfer device.

[0035] During operation, the transfer component 40 can receive the material bin 01 fully loaded with materials from the AGV02 and transfer it to the material picking layer 20 or the full-load storage layer 30 for later use by moving up and down in the cavity 101. After being transferred to the material picking layer 20, the material bin 01 will be taken out by the staff for subsequent assembly and other manufacturing processes. Then, the empty material bin 01 will be transferred back to the AGV02 from the material picking layer 20 by the transfer component 40 and transported away. When all the material bins 01 on the AGV02 have been taken out, the transfer component 40 can transfer the material bins 01 located on the full-load storage layer 30 to the material picking layer 20 to ensure the continuity of subsequent processes.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the material handling layer 20 includes a first conveyor line 21 and a flipping assembly 22. The first conveyor line 21 is rotatably disposed within the cavity 101, extending horizontally. It has a first end and a second end. The first end communicates with the transfer assembly 40, and the second material inlet 103 is located at the second end, outside the frame 10. This facilitates connection between the second material inlet 103 and other production lines, and also allows workers to easily remove materials from the material bin 01 at the second material inlet 103. The flipping assembly 22 is rotatably disposed at the second end and is drivenly connected to the material bin 01 located on the first conveyor line 21. It drives the opening of the material bin 01 to rotate away from the first end, thus preventing material spillage or tipping during the material handling process, preventing material handling failures due to improper material positioning, and reducing abnormal interruptions in the production process. The flipping component 22 enables the material bin 01 to automatically adjust to the most suitable material picking posture, eliminating the need for additional space to manually adjust the material bin 01, further improving the convenience of material picking for staff and increasing material picking efficiency and accuracy.

[0037] The combined design of the first conveyor line 21 and the flipping component 22 allows the material handling layer 20 to adapt to bins of different sizes and shapes, enhancing the device's ability to handle various materials and improving the compatibility and adaptability of the production line. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the rotation speed of the first conveyor line 21 and the flipping angle of the flipping component 22, the device can flexibly respond to changing production line requirements, such as adjusting the material handling speed and direction, thereby improving the overall flexibility and responsiveness of the device in handling materials.

[0038] In this embodiment, the specific form of the first conveyor line 21 is not limited; it can be a rotating roller, a conveyor belt, or a mechanical gripper, etc.

[0039] Specifically, the flipping assembly 22 includes a support frame 221, a rotating plate, and a telescopic member 223. The support frame 221 is mounted on the frame 10 and located near the second end, improving the stability of the flipping assembly 22's rotation. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the support frame 221. The rotation axis of the rotating plate extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first conveyor line 21. The rotating plate has a first segment 222 and a second segment arranged sequentially. The extension directions of the first segment 222 and the second segment are perpendicular to each other. The first segment 222 passes through a portion of the first conveyor line 21. This design not only fully utilizes the space within the material handling layer 20 but also maintains the compactness of the material handling layer 20, reducing its space occupation. It is located at the bottom of the material bin 01. The telescopic member 223 has a fixed end and a movable end arranged opposite to each other. The fixed end is connected to the frame 10, and the movable end is hinged to the first segment 222. The movable end can extend and retract relative to the fixed end to drive the first segment 222 to rotate. By driving the rotating plate to rotate via the mobile terminal, the first section 222 can be smoothly driven to rotate, thereby flipping the material box 01. This driving method is more gentle and can effectively avoid material spillage and damage caused by impact or vibration, as well as safety hazards to operators, thus improving the safety and reliability of the entire operation process.

[0040] With the above settings, when the material bin 01 reaches the rotating plate during its transport on the first conveyor line 21, the rotation of the rotating plate will automatically adjust the direction of the material bin 01. Furthermore, the design of the first section 222 and the second section ensures a smooth transition during the rotation of the material bin 01, avoiding material damage or jamming caused by abrupt changes in direction, thus ensuring smooth and efficient material handling.

[0041] There is no limitation on the rotation angle of the rotating plate; it can be selected and adjusted according to the actual working conditions.

[0042] Preferably, the length of the first segment is longer than the length of the second segment, so as to ensure the stability of the material box 01 when it rotates.

[0043] Furthermore, a support plate 2211 is provided at the end of the support frame 221 away from the first conveyor line 21. The support plate 2211 extends in the horizontal direction and is used to support the flipping component 22 to prevent the flipping component 22 from rotating excessively and causing the material box 01 to tip over or fall.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the first conveyor line 21 includes: multiple first rotating rollers 211, two sets of rotating rollers 212, and a second drive component. The multiple first rotating rollers 211 are spaced horizontally and close to the first end. The first rotating rollers 211 are rotatably mounted on the frame 10, and their rotation axes are parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate. The design of the first rotating rollers 211 allows for adjustment of their number and size according to the size of the material box 01, ensuring the stability of the material box 01's transport while improving the flexibility of the first conveyor line 21. The two sets of rotating rollers 212 are spaced along the length of the first rotating rollers 211 and are located between the support frame 221 and the multiple first rotating rollers 211. A first section 222 is located between the two sets of rotating rollers 212, and the extension direction of the rotating roller sets 212 is the same as the extension direction of the first conveyor line 21. The two rotating roller sets 212 not only assist the operation of the first conveyor line 21, but also ensure that the material bin 01 reaches the first section 222 of the flipping assembly 22, providing a stable foundation for subsequent flipping actions and avoiding flipping failures or material damage due to inaccurate positioning. The second drive unit is connected to multiple first rotating rollers 211 and two rotating roller sets 212 respectively to drive the rotation of the multiple first rotating rollers 211 and two rotating roller sets 212. This design not only improves conveying efficiency but also ensures a smooth transition of the material bin 01. The second drive unit is a motor.

[0045] The rotating roller group 212 includes a plurality of second rotating rollers, which are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and close to the second end. The rotation axis of the second rotating rollers is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate.

[0046] Furthermore, the first conveyor line 21 also includes two first mounting frames, which are arranged horizontally at intervals on the frame 10 and are parallel to each other. A plurality of first rotating rollers 211 are arranged at intervals between the first mounting frames.

[0047] Specifically, the first conveyor line 21 also includes a transmission mechanism, which includes multiple transmission gears and multiple transmission belts, with the transmission gears and transmission belts meshing with each other. The output end of the second drive unit is drivenly connected to one of the first rotating rollers 211. Transmission gears are respectively provided at both ends of the first rotating roller 211 and at both ends of the second rotating roller. The transmission belt is sleeved on the outer periphery of the transmission gears at the ends of two adjacent rotating rollers to achieve synchronous rotation of the first rotating roller 211 and the rotating roller group 212.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, the transfer assembly 40 includes a second conveyor line 41, a third conveyor line 42, and a connecting frame 43. The second conveyor line 41 is rotatably disposed within the cavity 101, and its extension direction is the same as that of the first conveyor line 21. The end of the second conveyor line 41 away from the material receiving layer 20 has a first feed inlet 102. The third conveyor line 42 is located above the second conveyor line 41, and its extension direction is parallel to that of the second conveyor line 41. The connecting frame 43 is disposed between the second conveyor line 41 and the third conveyor line 42, and extends vertically to connect the two conveyors. The third conveyor line 42 moves synchronously with the second conveyor line 41, thus increasing the transfer capacity of the transfer assembly 40 and further improving its transfer efficiency.

[0049] The second conveyor line 41 includes a drive motor, multiple third rotating rollers, and two second mounting frames. The multiple third rotating rollers are horizontally spaced between the two second mounting frames, which are horizontally spaced on a frame and parallel to each other. The drive motor is connected to the multiple third rotating rollers to drive them to rotate. The specific structure of the third conveyor line 42 is the same as that of the second conveyor line 41, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the transfer device also includes an empty storage layer 50, which can receive or transfer material boxes 01. The empty storage layer 50 can store empty material boxes 01 that cannot be retrieved in time, avoiding the confusion between full and empty material boxes, realizing the classified storage of material boxes 01, simplifying the management process of material boxes 01, thus further optimizing the storage and retrieval process of material boxes 01 and improving the adaptability of the device. The cavity 101 has a first chamber 1011 and a second chamber 1012 connected sequentially in the horizontal direction. Both the first chamber 1011 and the second chamber 1012 extend in the vertical direction. The material retrieval layer 20, the full-load storage layer 30 and the empty storage layer 50 are distributed in the second chamber 1012 in the vertical direction. The transfer assembly 40 is movably arranged in the first chamber 1011 in the vertical direction. The above design makes full use of vertical space and improves the three-dimensional storage capacity of the device. The vertical movement of the transfer component 40 in the first chamber 1011 can quickly and accurately transfer the material box 01 between the material picking layer 20, the full-load storage layer 30 and the empty storage layer 50, reducing the material transmission distance in the horizontal direction and improving the transfer efficiency of the material box 01.

[0051] The transfer device also includes a fourth conveyor line and a fifth conveyor line. The fourth conveyor line is located above the material picking layer 20, forming a fully loaded storage layer 30. The fifth conveyor line is located below the material picking layer 20, forming an empty storage layer 50. This ensures the stability of the transport and transfer of the material bin 01. The specific structures of the fourth and fifth conveyor lines are the same as those of the second conveyor line 41, and will not be described in detail again.

[0052] Furthermore, the transfer device also includes a first driving component 60 and a transmission assembly. The first driving component 60 is disposed at the top of the frame 10 and is drivenly connected to the transfer assembly 40 to drive the transfer assembly 40 to move vertically within the cavity 101. The transmission assembly is disposed between the first driving component 60 and the transfer assembly 40, and the first driving component 60 is drivenly connected to the transfer assembly 40 via the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is capable of accurately converting the movement of the first driving component 60 into the vertical movement of the transfer assembly 40, making the transfer of the material box 01 between different layers more precise and reducing the risk of material loss or device malfunction due to inaccurate movement. The first driving component 60 is a motor.

[0053] Specifically, the rotation axis of the output end of the first driving member 60 extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the extension direction of the transfer assembly 40. The transmission assembly includes: a rotating shaft 71, a driving wheel 72, a driven wheel 73, a gear assembly, and a chain 76. The rotating shaft 71 is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 10, and its extension direction is parallel to the extension direction of the output end. The driving wheel 72 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the output end, and the driven wheel 73 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 71, with the driving wheel 72 and driven wheel 73 meshing with each other. The gear assembly includes a first gear 74 and a second gear 75. The first gear 74 is located at one end of the rotating shaft 71, and the second gear 75 is located at the bottom of the frame 10, on the same side of the frame 10. The gear assembly is positioned corresponding to the transfer assembly 40. The chain 76 is rotatably wound around the outer periphery of the gear assembly, extends vertically, meshes with the gear assembly, and is connected to the transfer assembly 40. The combination of gears and chains provides precision in speed and direction adjustment, allowing the system to flexibly adjust the transfer speed and position of the material bin 01 according to different production needs. This enhances the flexibility of adjustment and ensures that the material bin 01 transfers accurately and smoothly within the first chamber 1011. Furthermore, the simple design structure enhances the stability and reliability of the entire device, reduces equipment maintenance and failure rates, and consequently lowers production costs.

[0054] Furthermore, the transfer device also includes a guide structure, which is disposed between the transfer assembly 40 and the frame 10. This guide structure can guide the movement of the transfer assembly 40, improving the accuracy and stability of its movement. The guide structure can be a combination of a groove and a protrusion, or a combination of a rack and a toothed structure.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transfer device also includes a shell plate 80, which is disposed on the outer surface of part of the frame 10. The shell plate 80 and the frame 10 cooperate to form a cavity 101. The shell plate 80 not only serves to prevent dust and protect the internal components, but also prevents the material box 01 from falling out of the frame 10 during transportation.

[0056] The frame 10 is also equipped with multiple placement plates, which are arranged vertically at intervals in the second chamber 1012. The placement plates are used to install and place the first conveyor line 21, the fourth conveyor line and the fifth conveyor line to improve the stability of the material box conveying.

[0057] Specifically, the bottom of the frame 10 is also equipped with multiple casters to facilitate the movement and handling of the device.
