[0032] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme in the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following combined with the drawings in the specific embodiments. Obviously, the following described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present patent.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The part conveying system based on the APC logistics provided in the present embodiment can set the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism for transmission. According to actual needs, multiple conveying mechanisms can also be set. The first controller and the second controller can be correspondingly configured in the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism. The first controller and the second controller can adopt S7-1500 CPU or STC12LE5A60S2 microprocessor and be communicatively connected with the upper computer by cooperating with the communication module.

[0034] The first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are communicatively connected with the upper computer and are configured in the hardware to ensure that the communication among the three is normal.

[0035] The two S7-1500 CPUs in the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are configured to communicate with the host computer, and a data transmission interface is programmed in the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, so that the part state of the production line with different assembly processes is interacted with the host computer in real time.

[0036] The operator can monitor the state of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism based on the HMI man-machine interface of the host computer.

[0037] According to the part transportation state and the transmission position of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are configured to realize part conveying and meet the conveying requirements of different production areas and different parts.

[0038] In the embodiment, the first conveying mechanism is provided with a first controller, and is further provided with a first driving motor, a first power start-stop control switch, a first speed regulation switch, a first part feeding position sensor, a first part taking position sensor, and a first clamp.

[0039] Optionally, the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism respectively adopt a conveying belt for conveying; and the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are respectively provided with a fault recovery button and an emergency stop button.

[0040] The first controller is connected with the first driving motor to control the operation of the first conveying mechanism; and the first controller obtains a power start-stop instruction of the first conveying mechanism and a first driving motor adjustment instruction through the first power start-stop control switch and the first speed regulation switch. The operator can manually control the operation of the first conveying mechanism based on the first power start-stop control switch and the first speed regulation switch, or remotely control the operation of the first conveying mechanism based on the host computer.

[0041] In order to meet the requirements of part feeding and taking, the first controller obtains part feeding sensing information and part taking sensing information of the first conveying mechanism through the first part feeding position sensor and the first part taking position sensor; when the first part feeding position sensor senses the part feeding state, the operation of the first conveying mechanism is stopped, and the first clamp is controlled to clamp the part in place based on the first controller connected with the first clamp. When the part taking is performed, the first part taking position sensor senses the part taking position, the operation of the first conveying mechanism is stopped, the first clamp is released to perform the part taking operation. Of course, the part feeding and taking can also be performed when the first conveying mechanism continuously operates.

[0042] It should be noted that the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism of the embodiment can convey large parts from one location to another. The conveying belt can be customized according to the size, weight and conveying distance of the parts to ensure the stability and accuracy of the conveying process. The controller can control the start, stop and speed adjustment of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism based on remote control, near-end control or automatic control. The operation can be controlled according to the received signals to ensure that the conveying belt can operate according to the predetermined parameters. The sensors involved in the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are used to detect the position and state of the parts on the conveying belt. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor or a proximity sensor, etc., which can send signals to the controller to tell the controller the current position and state of the parts for accurate control.

[0043] The embodiment also relates to a read-write head for reading or writing data during the conveying process. The read-write head can be installed on the conveying belt and automatically read or write data when the parts pass by. The clamp is used to fix and convey large parts. The clamp is installed on the conveying belt and firmly fixes the parts when the conveying belt starts to operate to prevent the parts from slipping or shifting during the conveying process.

[0044] For the second conveying mechanism of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The second controller controls the operation of the second conveying mechanism by being connected with the second driving motor. The second controller obtains the power start-stop instruction of the second conveying mechanism and the adjustment instruction of the second driving motor through the second power start-stop control switch and the second speed adjustment switch, respectively. The second controller obtains the part feeding sensing information and the part taking sensing information of the second conveying mechanism through the second part feeding position sensor and the second part taking position sensor, respectively. The second controller controls the second clamp to clamp the parts that are fed in place by being connected with the second clamp.

[0045] The operator of the embodiment can perform real-time monitoring and operation through the HMI human-computer interaction interface based on the upper computer, and send control instructions to the first controller and the second controller according to the production plan and process requirements. The first controller and the second controller control the operation of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, respectively, including the start-stop of the power, the adjustment of the driving motor, the clamping of the parts, etc., according to the received control instructions. At the same time, the first controller and the second controller also obtain the state information of the transmission, including the part feeding sensing information and the part taking sensing information, etc., through the corresponding sensors.
