Multi-streamline carrier changing conveying line

Abstract

The utility model provides a multi-streamline carrier changing conveying line. After products in the carriers are machined on the production line, the production line can convey the carriers with the machined products to the lower old carrier return line, at the moment, the discharging module takes the machined products out of the carriers, and then the lower old carrier return line supplies the carriers to the upper new carrier conveying line.

Therefore, the utilization rate of carrier resources is improved, the vacancy rate of the carriers is reduced, and meanwhile, the situation that a large number of idle carriers occupy the space positions of the starting part and the tail end of a production line is avoided; the utility model belongs to the technical field of automation equipment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-flow carrier conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] On automated production lines, carriers typically consist of a carrier body for loading products and a fixed structure mounted on the body. They not only align products with each workstation to improve production efficiency, but also effectively protect products as they are transported to each workstation, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of product quality.

[0003] In conventional automated production lines, it is generally necessary to continuously supply empty carriers at the beginning of the production line so that the feeding equipment can place the raw materials into the carriers for transportation. In addition, after the production line completes the processing of the products in the carriers, the processed products are removed at the end of the production line. The carriers with the products removed are also taken out from the end of the production line by another carrier handling mechanism and stored in a specific location. Therefore, a large number of new carriers need to be stocked at the beginning of the production line for supply, and a large number of empty idle carriers will also be accumulated at the end of the production line, resulting in a large amount of idle carrier resources and requiring a large amount of space to store idle carriers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-streamline carrier transfer line to solve the technical problems described in the background art.

[0005] The aforementioned multi-flow carrier conveyor line includes a base on which an old carrier return line, a material unloading module, and a new carrier loading conveyor line are mounted. One end of the old carrier return line is connected to the end of the production line so that the production line can transport carriers containing finished products to the old carrier return line. The material unloading module is used to remove the finished products from the carriers. The old carrier return line is used to supply carriers to the new carrier loading conveyor line. One end of the new carrier loading conveyor line is connected to the beginning of the production line so that the new carrier loading conveyor line can return the carriers to the production line for recycling.

[0006] According to the described technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0007] After the production line completes the processing of the products in the carrier, it can transport the carrier containing the processed products to the old carrier return line. At this time, the unloading module removes the processed products from the carrier. Subsequently, the old carrier return line supplies the carrier to the new carrier conveyor line, which can then send it back to the production line for reuse. Therefore, the production line does not need to store a large number of new carriers for supply at the beginning. At the same time, after the unloading module removes the processed products from the carrier, these carriers will not be stacked at the end of the production line, thereby improving the utilization rate of carrier resources, reducing the idle rate of carriers, and avoiding a large number of idle carriers occupying space at the beginning and end of the production line.

[0008] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0009] In some implementations, a barcode scanning module, a carrier handling module, and an NG conveyor line are installed on the base. The barcode scanning module is used to obtain product information of the finished products. When the production line transports the carrier containing the defective products to the old carrier return line, the unloading module does not remove the defective products from the carrier. The carrier handling module is used to transport the carrier containing the defective products to the NG conveyor line for delivery.

[0010] According to the technical solution, when a carrier containing defective products flows from the production line into the old carrier return line, the unloading module does not remove the defective products from the carrier to avoid confusion between defective and qualified products. At this time, the carrier handling module is used to transport the carrier containing defective products to the NG conveyor line and send it to another station for post-processing.

[0011] In some implementations, a new vehicle return line is mounted on the base, which is used to supply new vehicles to the new vehicle conveyor line;

[0012] According to the described technical solution, the present invention further achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. When the carriers containing defective products are moved to the NG conveyor line and sent away, there is a shortage of carriers on the production line. At this time, the new carrier return line can supply new carriers to the new carrier conveyor line. In addition, the new carrier return line can be connected to the workstation connected to the NG conveyor line or another production line to realize the recycling of the carriers originally located on the NG conveyor line.

[0014] 2. Since there are no carriers on the production line when it is first started, new carriers can be supplied to the new carrier conveyor line through the new carrier return line, and the new carrier conveyor line supplies carriers to the production line.

[0015] In some embodiments, a new material blocking lifting cylinder is installed at the connection end between the lower new carrier return line and the upper new carrier conveyor line. The new material blocking lifting cylinder is driven by a new carrier baffle for blocking new carriers from being transported to the upper new carrier conveyor line.

[0016] According to the technical solution, when the old carrier return line supplies the carrier to the new carrier conveyor line, the new material lifting cylinder drives the new carrier baffle to extend into the new carrier conveyor line to prevent the new carrier input to the new carrier conveyor line from conflicting with the old carrier flowing into the new carrier conveyor line from the old carrier return line.

[0017] In some embodiments, an upper used vehicle conveyor line is installed on the base, one end of which is spliced ​​to a lower used vehicle return line. The lower used vehicle return line can transport the vehicles on it to the upper used vehicle conveyor line. The upper used vehicle conveyor line is located on one side of the upper new vehicle conveyor line, and the NG conveyor line is located on the other side of the upper new vehicle conveyor line. The vehicle handling module spans above the upper used vehicle conveyor line, the upper new vehicle conveyor line, and the NG conveyor line, so that the vehicle handling module can move vehicles containing defective products from the upper used vehicle conveyor line to the NG conveyor line for delivery, and move empty vehicles from the upper used vehicle conveyor line to the upper new vehicle conveyor line.

[0018] According to the described technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By using a single vehicle handling module, vehicles on the old vehicle conveyor line can be sorted and moved. Therefore, by reducing the number of vehicle handling modules, manufacturing costs and space occupancy can be reduced.

[0020] 2. The installation of the upper old vehicle conveyor line can buffer the vehicles transported from the production line to the lower old vehicle return line, thereby avoiding vehicle accumulation and blockage at the end of the production line.

[0021] In some implementations, the lower used vehicle return line is located above the upper used vehicle conveyor line, and the lower used vehicle return line connects to the upper used vehicle conveyor line via a used vehicle elevator to transport vehicles.

[0022] According to the aforementioned technical solution, since the lower old vehicle return line and the upper old vehicle conveyor line are vertically stacked, the footprint can be effectively reduced when multiple flow lines are set.

[0023] In some implementations, the new vehicle conveyor line is located above the new vehicle return line, and the new vehicle return line connects to the new vehicle conveyor line via a new vehicle elevator to transport vehicles.

[0024] According to the technical solution, since the new vehicle conveyor line and the new vehicle return line are vertically stacked, the footprint can be further reduced effectively when multiple flow lines are set. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides a multi-flow vehicle replacement conveyor line, which includes a base 1, on which are installed an old vehicle return line 2, an old vehicle conveyor line 21, an NG conveyor line 6, a vehicle handling module 61, a barcode scanning module 31, a material unloading module 3, a new vehicle conveyor line 4, an new vehicle return line 41, and a new vehicle replacement conveyor line 41.

[0033] The old carrier return line 2 can use a conventional conveyor belt. One end of the old carrier return line 2 is used to connect with the end of the production line so that the production line can transport the carriers containing the finished products to the old carrier return line 2.

[0034] The upper used vehicle conveyor line 21 can be a conventional conveyor belt. One end of the upper used vehicle conveyor line 21 is spliced ​​with the lower used vehicle return line 2. The lower used vehicle return line 2 is located above the upper used vehicle conveyor line 21. The lower used vehicle return line 2 connects to the upper used vehicle conveyor line 21 through the used vehicle elevator 22 to transport vehicles. The used vehicle elevator 22 can use a lifting screw module to drive the conventional conveyor belt to rise and fall from one end of the lower used vehicle return line 2 to one end of the upper used vehicle conveyor line 21, thereby realizing the transfer of vehicles from the lower used vehicle return line 2 to the upper used vehicle conveyor line 21. The old vehicle return line 2 can transport the vehicles on it to the old vehicle transport line 21. The old vehicle transport line 21 is located on one side of the new vehicle transport line 4, and the NG transport line 6 is located on the other side of the new vehicle transport line 4. The vehicle handling module 61 spans above the old vehicle transport line 21, the new vehicle transport line 4 and the NG transport line 6. The barcode scanning module 31 is used to obtain product information of the finished products. The barcode scanning module 31 can obtain the product processing information inside the carrier by scanning the QR code on the carrier. When the production line transports the carrier containing the defective products to the old carrier return line 2, the unloading module 3 does not remove the defective products from the carrier. The unloading module 3 can be selected to use a conventional fixture that can move along the xyz axis. The carrier handling module 61 is used to transport the carrier containing the defective products to the NG conveyor line 6 and send it to another station for post-processing. The carrier handling module 61 can be a fixture that can move along the xyz axis. The NG conveyor line 6 can be selected to use a conventional conveyor belt. When the production line transports the carrier containing the defective products to the old carrier return line 2, the unloading module 3 is used to remove the finished products from the carrier. At the same time, the old carrier return line 2 transports the empty carrier to the old carrier conveyor line 21. After that, the old carrier conveyor line 21 supplies the empty carrier to the new carrier conveyor line 4.

[0035] One end of the new vehicle conveyor line 4 is connected to the starting position of the production line, enabling it to return vehicles to the production line for reuse. The new vehicle conveyor line 4 can use a conventional conveyor belt. The new vehicle return line 41 supplies new vehicles to the new vehicle conveyor line 4. The new vehicle return line 41 can also use a conventional conveyor belt. The new vehicle conveyor line 4 is located above the new vehicle return line 41. The new vehicle return line 41 connects to the new vehicle conveyor line 4 via a new vehicle lift 44 to transport vehicles. The new vehicle lift 44 uses a lifting screw module to drive a conventional conveyor belt to move from one end of the old and new vehicle return line to one end of the new vehicle conveyor line 4, thus transferring vehicles from the old and new vehicle return line to the new vehicle conveyor line 4. A new material lifting cylinder 42 is installed at the connection end between the new carrier return line 41 and the new carrier conveyor line 4. The new material lifting cylinder 42 drives a new carrier baffle 43 for blocking new carriers from being transported to the new carrier conveyor line 4.

[0036] The following is a description of the operation of a multi-streamline vehicle-changing conveyor line according to this specific embodiment.

[0037] After the production line completes the processing of the products in the carrier, it can transport the carrier containing the processed products to the lower used carrier return line 2. At this time, the barcode scanning module 31 obtains the product information of the processed products to identify whether the products in the carrier are qualified or unqualified. Subsequently, the lower used carrier return line 2 transports the carrier on it to the upper used carrier conveyor line 21. After that, one of the following steps is performed:

[0038] In one step, if the carrier contains a defective product, the carrier handling module 61 is used to move the carrier containing the defective product to the NG conveyor line 6 and send it to another station for post-processing. Subsequently, the new carrier return line 41 supplies a new carrier to the new carrier conveyor line 4, which can then send the carrier back to the production line for use.

[0039] If the product inside the carrier is a qualified product, the unloading module 3 will remove the processed product from the carrier. Then, the old carrier conveyor line 21 supplies the carrier to the new carrier conveyor line 4, which can then return the carrier to the production line for recycling. In addition, when the old carrier conveyor line 21 supplies the carrier to the new carrier conveyor line 4, the new material lifting cylinder 42 drives the new carrier baffle 43 to extend into the new carrier conveyor line 4 to prevent the new carrier input to the new carrier conveyor line 41 from interfering with the old carrier flowing into the new carrier conveyor line 4 from the old carrier conveyor line 21.
