Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material receiving and transportation technology, and in particular to a material receiving vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the automation level of material feeding, AGV carts are increasingly used as carriers in the feeding process. By cooperating with other material transfer devices (such as forklift structures) set on the AGV cart, materials can be automatically loaded onto the AGV cart and automatically unloaded from the AGV cart, saving labor and enabling stable feeding over long distances.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the self-propelled rotary telescopic feeding AGV trolley with application number 202310488230.6, it is disclosed that when transferring the material cage to the trolley, the trolley is moved to the discharge end of the material cage conveyor, so that the material cage is directly transferred from the material cage conveyor to the trolley, and the material cage is driven to move to the designated position on the trolley by the conveying mechanism, realizing the rapid transfer function between the material cage and the material cage conveyor. However, due to the structure of the AGV trolley itself, it can generally only carry one material with an integral structure. The material can be a material cage / frame (empty or containing items). The AGV trolley does not have the corresponding space and structure to place and store multiple materials. In this case, one AGV trolley and its material transfer device need to feed multiple times, or multiple AGV trolleys and their material transfer devices need to participate in feeding together, resulting in decreased efficiency or waste of resources.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material receiving vehicle. By setting a frame on a mobile platform and setting multiple storage areas, more carriers can be provided to place materials. The lifting mechanism and the material transfer mechanism are used to place materials on the carriers for transportation. The materials on the carriers are automatically unloaded one by one through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the material transfer mechanism, thereby improving the transportation capacity and transportation efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a material receiving cart, comprising:

[0007] A support platform, which is mounted on the frame and located within the storage area, has a vertical clearance hole penetrating its body in the middle of the support platform.

[0008] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting module, a translation module, and a support base. The lifting module is mounted on the frame, the translation module is mounted on the lifting module, and the support base is mounted on the translation module for supporting materials.

[0016] As a further optimization, guide plates are provided on opposite sides of the support plate. When the support plate is driven to a horizontal state, the materials being loaded or unloaded through the support plate can be guided by a pair of guide plates.

[0017] As a further optimization, the receiving arm includes a fixed plate and an extension plate. The fixed plate is disposed on the frame, and the extension plate is horizontally slidable within the fixed plate and connected to the drive module through the connecting plate.

[0030] Figure 10 for Figure 9 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a material receiving cart includes a mobile platform 10, a frame 20, a support platform 30, a lifting mechanism 40, and a material transfer mechanism 50. The frame 20 is mounted on the mobile platform 10 and has a lifting channel 200. Multiple and / or multi-layer storage areas 201 are located beside the lifting channel. Preferably, the cart has two layers, with a storage area 201 located on each side of the lifting channel 200, resulting in four storage areas 201 in total. Each storage area 201 contains a support platform 30 mounted on the frame 20. The support platform 30 has a vertical clearance hole 300 penetrating its body in the center. The lifting mechanism 40 includes a lifting module 41. The translation module 42 and the support base 43 are provided. The lifting module 41 is set on the frame 20, the translation module 42 is set on the lifting module 41, and the support base 43 is set on the translation module 42 to carry materials. In this utility model, the material is a material frame 600, which can be empty or contain products. The support base 43 is driven by the lifting module 41 to move within the lifting channel 200, and is driven by the translation module 42 to extend into or out of the storage area 201. The material transfer mechanism 50 includes a drive module 51 and a receiving arm 52 set on the frame 20. A pair of receiving arms 52 with a gap are set at the bottom of the lifting channel 200, and are driven to pull the material into or out of the support base 43 located in the gap.

[0033] In this invention, the lifting module 41 drives the translation module 42 and the support base 43 to move downward within the lifting channel 200 to the gap between a pair of receiving arms 52. The driving module 51 drives the pair of receiving arms 52 to pull the material (i.e., the material frame 600) into the gap and onto the support base 43. The lifting module 41 drives the support base 43 to move upward within the lifting channel 200 until it is flush with the lower storage area 201. The translation module 42 drives the support base 43 and the material frame 600 on the support base 43 to move laterally into the storage area 201 and land on the support platform 30. Since the support platform 30 has... With a clearance hole 300, the lifting module 41 can drive the translation module 42 and support base 43 in this state to descend a certain distance, so that the support base 43 separates from the material frame 600 and the material frame 600 is completely supported by the carrier platform 30. The translation module 42 drives the support base 43 to move and reposition itself within the lifting channel 200. The lifting module 41 drives the translation module 42 and support base 43 to descend within the lifting channel 200 and reposition themselves within the gap between the pair of receiving arms 52. Repeating the above actions, the material can be placed on the carrier platform 30 in another storage area 201 on the same floor, as well as in a pair of storage areas 201 on the upper floor. The material frames 600 are conveyed on a pair of support platforms 30 within 1 to complete the material receiving action; the moving platform 10 moves to a set area to unload the four material frames 600; the lifting module 41 drives the translation module 42 and the support base 43 to move in the lifting channel 200 to the side of a storage area 201; the translation module 42 drives the support base 43 to translate and extend into the clearance hole 300 and abut against the lower end of the material frame 600 on the support platform 30, thus supporting the material frame 600; the lifting module 41 drives the translation module 42 and the support base 43 in this state to rise a certain distance, so that the support base 43 drives the material frame 600 to rise and meet the support platform. After phase separation, the translation module 42 drives the support base 43 and the material frame 600 to move and reposition themselves within the lifting channel 200. The lifting module 41 then drives the support base 43 and the material frame 600 to move downward within the lifting channel 200 to the gap between a pair of receiving arms 52. The drive module 51 drives the pair of receiving arms 52 to push the material frame 600 out of the gap and away from the support base 43. The receiving arms 52 are then driven to reset. The lifting module 41 then drives the translation module 42 and the support base 43 to move within the lifting channel 200 to the side of another storage area 201. The above actions are repeated to complete the unloading of all material frames 600.

[0034] In this utility model, by setting a frame 20 on the mobile platform 10 and forming multiple storage areas 201 within the frame 20, more carrying platforms 30 that can hold materials are provided. The lifting mechanism 40 and the material transfer mechanism 50 can be used to place materials on the carrying platforms 30 respectively for transportation. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 40 and the material transfer mechanism 50, the materials on the carrying platforms 30 can be automatically unloaded one by one, thereby improving transportation capacity and efficiency.

[0035] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the support platform 30 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged L-shaped plates 31. The pair of L-shaped plates 31 are disposed on the frame 20 and form clearance holes 300. A pair of horizontal plates 311 on the pair of L-shaped plates 31 are used to support the material frame 600, and the gap between the pair of horizontal plates 311 forms clearance holes 300 for the up and down movement of the support base 43.

[0036] Furthermore, the height of the end of the L-shaped plate 31 away from the lifting channel 200 is lower than the height of the end near the lifting channel 200. A baffle 32 is provided on the end of the L-shaped plate 31 away from the lifting channel 200, which allows the material frame 600 to be positioned on the side of the support platform 30 away from the lifting channel 200. This provides better stability compared to transporting the material frame 600 in a completely horizontal state, and can prevent the material frame 600 from falling into the lifting channel 200 due to factors such as bumps. A guide plate 33 can also be provided on the end of the L-shaped plate 31 near the lifting channel 200, so that the support base 43 can drive the material frame 600 into the support platform 30.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the lifting module 41 includes a lifting drive assembly 411, a guide assembly 412, and a mounting frame 413. The lifting drive assembly 41 is mounted on the frame 20 and may include a first motor 4111, a first synchronous shaft 4112, and a first transmission belt 4113. The first motor 4111 drives a pair of first transmission belts 4113 on both sides to rotate through the first synchronous shaft 4112. The pair of guide assemblies 412 are slidably mounted in a pair of guide plates 210 on the frame 20 and are connected to the lifting drive assembly 411, i.e., connected to the first transmission belts 4113. The mounting frame 413 may have an L-shaped structure, and its vertical structure is connected to the guide assembly 412. The above components work together to enable the first motor 4111 to drive the first transmission belt 4113 to move the guide assembly 412 up and down. The guide assembly 412 is confined within the guide plate 210 to move the mounting frame 413 up and down. The translation module 42 is mounted on the horizontal structure of the mounting frame 413.

[0038] The guide assembly 412 includes a vertical plate 4121 and a rolling element disposed on the vertical plate 4121. The vertical plate 4121 is connected to the lifting drive assembly 411 (i.e., the first transmission belt 4113). The rolling element is rotatably disposed on the vertical plate 4121 and abuts against the guide plate 210. Preferably, a guide groove structure is formed on the guide plate 210. The rolling element includes a roller 4122, which is rotatably disposed within the guide groove structure. The rolling element also includes a first spherical element 4123 and a second spherical element. The gap between the first spherical member 4123 and the second spherical member 4124 accommodates the sidewall of the guide groove structure, that is, at least part of the guide plate 210 is embedded between the first spherical member 4123 and the second spherical member 4124. Thus, the cooperation between the rolling member and the guide plate 210 can prevent the vertical plate 4121 from shifting in the X / Y direction in the horizontal plane, ensuring the accuracy of the vertical movement of the mounting frame 413, the translation module 42 located on the mounting frame 413, and the support base 43.

[0039] The translation module 42 includes a translation motor 421, a gear assembly, and a toothed belt 423. The gear assembly includes a second transmission belt 4221 and a gear set 4222 disposed on the transverse structure of the mounting frame 413. The gear set 4222 is connected to the second transmission belt 4221. The translation motor 421 is also connected to the second transmission belt 4221 while being disposed on the transverse structure of the mounting frame 413. The support base 43 is slidably disposed on the support plate 4131 on the transverse structure of the mounting frame 413 through a matching guide rail and guide groove structure. The toothed belt 423 is disposed at the lower end of the support base 43 and is connected to the gear set 4222 after meshing. In the translation module 42, the translation motor 421 drives the second transmission belt 4221 to rotate, thereby driving the gear set 4222 to rotate. The gear set 4222 drives the toothed belt 423 to move, thereby driving the support base 43 to achieve translation.

[0040] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 40 also includes an auxiliary component 44, which includes a drive unit 441 and a support plate 442. The drive unit 441 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and it is set on the transverse structure of the mounting frame 413. The support plate 442 is hinged to the end of the transverse structure of the mounting frame 413 away from its vertical structure and is connected to the output end of the drive unit 441. The drive unit 441 drives the support plate 442 to form two states. When the drive unit 441 drives the support plate 442 to a horizontal state, the support plate 442 can connect the gap between the support base 43 and the external feeding position, which facilitates the material receiving arm 52 to pull or push the material. When the drive unit 441 drives the support plate 442 to a vertical state, it can work with the vertical structure of the mounting frame 413 to prevent the material frame 600 from moving back and forth. Preferably, guide plates 443 are provided on opposite sides of the support plate 442, which can facilitate the guiding movement of the material frame 600 when the support plate 442 is in a horizontal state.

[0041] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the mobile platform 10 can have a mobile structure similar to an AGV trolley, including a base frame 11 and drive wheels 12 mounted on the base frame 11. The drive wheels 12 are driven by a motor connected to them. Multiple auxiliary wheels can be mounted on the lower end of the base frame 11 to work with the drive wheels 12 to maintain the stability of the entire mobile platform 10 when it moves. The drive module 51 includes a second motor 511, a second synchronous shaft 512, and a third transmission belt 513. The second motor 511 drives a pair of third transmission belts 513 located on both sides to rotate via the second synchronous shaft 512. A pair of receiving arms 52 are respectively connected to the pair of third transmission belts 513. Specifically, the receiving arm 52 includes a fixed plate 521 and an extension plate 522. The fixed plate 521 is disposed on the frame 20. The extension plate 522 is horizontally slidable within the fixed plate 521 and is connected to the third transmission belts 513 in the drive module 51 via a connecting plate 5221. One end of the extension plate 522 is provided with a first stop bar 523 for pushing materials. That is, when it is necessary to push the material frame 600 out of the material receiving cart, the second motor 511 drives the extension plate 522 to move on the fixed plate 521 via the third transmission belt 513. During the movement of the extension plate 522, the first stop lever 523 pushes the material frame 600 located on the support base 43 to move and unload the material. A rotary motor 5241 is located at the end of the extension plate 522 away from the first stop lever 523. A second stop lever 5242 is located at the output end of the rotary motor 5241. The second stop lever 5242, after being driven to be misaligned with the extension plate 522, is used for pulling the material. That is, when the material frame 600 needs to be pulled from the outside onto the material receiving cart, the second motor 511 drives the extension plate 522 to move on the fixed plate 521 and become flush with the material frame 600 located on the outside via the third transmission belt 513. The rotary motor 5241 drives the second stop lever 5242 to a horizontal state. The resetting of the extension plate 522 causes the second stop lever 5242 to move, thus pulling the material frame 600 onto the support base 43 to complete the loading. It should be noted that the extension plate 522 can be selected in either a single-stroke or double-stroke form as needed; the latter has a larger operating range.

[0042] Preferably, the extension plate 522 is provided with a reinforcing block 525, and the reinforcing block 525 is provided with a relief groove 5250. When the second stop rod 5242 is driven to a horizontal state, it is embedded in the relief groove 5250 and abuts against the side wall of the relief groove 525 for pulling material. Therefore, the reaction force when pulling the material frame 600 will act on the reinforcing block 525 instead of the main shaft of the rotary motor 5241, which can improve the service life of the rotary motor 5241.

[0043] Alternatively, a protective shell 100 may be provided on the outside of the frame 20 on the mobile platform 10 as needed.
