Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for cable reel production, and in particular to an automatic transfer and tray pulling trolley system. Background Technology

[0002] In the current production process of cable reels, pallets with wheels are usually used to transport the cable reels. For example, after the cable reel is unloaded from the machine, it is placed on the pallet and pushed manually to transport the cable reel to the test point. For large reels, large forklifts are required for handling. Whether it is a small or medium-sized reel or a large reel, the existing transportation method is inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] In addition, in the existing technology, when using pallets to transport cable reels, it is not possible to effectively connect the transport of cable reels in succession. Usually, after a person on a certain machine has transported the corresponding cable reel with a pallet, he pushes the pallet back to the parking point. When a person on another machine needs to use it, he has to retrieve the pallet from the parking point. The use of pallets is inconvenient and the frequency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a structurally sound automatic transfer tray trolley system, which enables automatic transport between various machines and test points by the trolley, effectively reducing manpower and greatly improving the efficiency and frequency of tray transport, demonstrating good practicality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automatic transfer tray trolley system includes machine tools arranged sequentially along the same straight line, guide rails arranged along the arrangement direction of the machine tools, test points set on the side of the guide rails, and the trolley moves along the guide rails and flows between each machine tool and the test points; a tray is installed at the end of the trolley via a connector, the top surface of the tray is used to place the tray, and the tray moves with the trolley on the guide rails.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] It also includes charging points, where the car travels along the guide rail to charge.

[0009] It also includes the area to be tested, with the test points and the area to be tested arranged on both sides of the guide rail.

[0010] The connecting component is a rod, with its two ends rotatably mounted on the end face of the trolley and the pallet, respectively, and the axis of rotation is arranged along the width direction of the guide rail.

[0011] The trolley and the tray are equipped with wheels at their four corners, and the trolley moves on the guide rail. A photoelectric switch is installed on the trolley, and a photoelectric emitting plate is embedded in the guide rail.

[0012] The guide rails are discontinuously spaced along the length direction. The traveling wheel includes a large wheel and a small wheel that are coaxially arranged along the axial direction, with the small wheel located on the outer side. When the traveling wheel travels on the guide rail, the large wheel is located on the inner side of the guide rail, and the step formed between the large wheel and the small wheel constitutes a limit relative to the width direction of the guide rail. The small wheel travels on the guide rail.

[0013] The circumferential wall of the small wheel is covered with a rubber coating layer made of polyurethane.

[0014] The trolley is equipped with a drive power source, and the output end of the drive power source is connected to a horizontally arranged drive shaft. A driven shaft is installed between the two front wheels, and another driven shaft is installed between the two rear wheels. A synchronous belt is wound around the drive shaft and the two driven shafts via a synchronous pulley.

[0015] Each machine is equipped with a button, which can be used to call the trolley via the call system.

[0016] The tray is equipped with a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch, which detects the presence or absence of trays on the tray.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model, through the combination of a trolley and a guide rail, connects a tray to the trolley, which can carry the trays and realize the automatic transportation of the trays between various machines and test points by the trolley. This effectively reduces manpower and greatly improves the efficiency and frequency of tray transportation, making it highly practical.

[0019] This utility model also has the following advantages:

[0020] The rod effectively connects the pallet to the trolley, allowing the pallet and trolley to move synchronously along the guide rail; and through the rotational installation at both ends of the rod, the pallet and trolley can maintain smooth and stable movement, which is especially suitable for smooth switching between rail-based and trackless systems.

[0021] By configuring the traveling wheels to consist of large and small wheels, the small wheels can travel smoothly on the guide rails, while the large wheels can travel smoothly on trackless flat ground. This allows the trolley to adapt to switching between tracked and trackless travel. Trackless sections can be set up in areas with high pedestrian traffic and forklift access to reduce the impact on pedestrian and forklift movement. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic transfer tray trolley system of this embodiment includes machine bases 5 arranged sequentially along the same straight line, a guide rail 2 arranged along the arrangement direction of the machine bases 5, test points 4 arranged on the side of the guide rail 2, and the trolley 1 moves along the guide rail 2 and flows between each machine base 5 and the test points 4; a tray 11 is installed at the end of the trolley 1 via a connector 10, the top surface of the tray 11 is used to place the tray 6, and the tray 11 moves on the guide rail 2 with the trolley 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, by combining the trolley 1 with the guide rail 2, the tray 11 is connected to the trolley 1, and the tray 6 can be carried by the tray 11, realizing the automatic transportation of the trolley 1 between each machine 5 and the test point 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the concept of a trolley head is reasonably utilized, with the trolley 1 serving as the power source to drive the pallet 11 along the guide rail 2; in actual use, it can be compatible with the transportation of various types of pallets 6.

[0033] It also includes charging point 3, where the car 1 travels along the guide rail 2 to the charging point 3 to charge.

[0034] In this embodiment, a battery is installed on the vehicle 1, and the electrical energy of the battery provides power for the operation of the vehicle 1; the battery can be charged at the charging point 3.

[0035] In practical use, a 200AH ternary lithium battery is selected, along with a 3KW inverter, which provides the car with strong power through the ternary lithium battery inverter principle.

[0036] It also includes the test area 41, with test point 4 and test area 41 arranged on both sides of guide rail 2.

[0037] In practical use, the tray 6 can be temporarily placed in the test area 41, which is close to the test point 4. The tray 6 in the test area 41 waits for testing at the test point 4.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting member 10 is a rod, with both ends of the rod rotatably mounted on the end faces of the trolley 1 and the tray 11, respectively, and the axis of rotation is arranged along the width direction of the guide rail 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rod effectively connects the tray 11 to the trolley 1, so that the tray 11 and the trolley 1 can move synchronously along the guide rail 2; and through the rotational installation at both ends of the rod, the tray 11 and the trolley 1 can maintain smooth and stable travel, which is especially suitable for smooth switching between rail and trackless modes.

[0040] The trolley 1 and the tray 11 are each equipped with a traveling wheel 15 at their four corners, and travel on the guide rail 2 via the traveling wheel 15; the trolley 1 is equipped with a photoelectric switch, and the guide rail 2 is embedded with a photoelectric emitting plate.

[0041] In this embodiment, during the movement of the trolley 1, the photoelectric switch can detect the photoelectric emission board to perform coordinate calibration, effectively reducing or even avoiding abnormal equipment operation caused by accumulated errors.

[0042] The guide rail 2 is discontinuously spaced along its length to facilitate the free movement of other equipment, including forklifts, within the workshop. The traveling wheel 15 includes a large wheel 151 and a small wheel 152 arranged coaxially along the axial direction, with the small wheel 152 located on the outer side. When the traveling wheel 15 travels on the guide rail 2, the large wheel 151 is located on the inner side of the guide rail 2, and the step formed between the large wheel 151 and the small wheel 152 constitutes a limit relative to the width direction of the guide rail 2. The small wheel 152 travels on the guide rail 2.

[0043] When the traveling wheel 15 travels in the trackless position, the large wheel part 151 provides support for the travel.

[0044] By configuring the traveling wheel 15 to consist of a large wheel 151 and a small wheel 152, it can smoothly travel on the guide rail 2 via the small wheel 152 and smoothly travel on trackless flat ground via the large wheel 151. This allows the trolley 1 to adapt to the switching between tracked and trackless travel. Trackless sections can be set up in areas with high pedestrian traffic and forklift access to reduce the impact on pedestrian and forklift movement.

[0045] The circumferential wall of the small wheel 152 is covered with a rubber coating, which is made of polyurethane.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rubber coating on the small wheel 152 effectively reduces or even prevents the trolley from slipping on the guide rail 2.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, a drive power 12 is installed on the trolley 1. The output end of the drive power 12 is connected to a horizontally arranged drive shaft 13. A driven shaft 16 is installed between the two front walking wheels 15, and another driven shaft 16 is installed between the two rear walking wheels 15. A synchronous belt 14 is wound around the drive shaft 13 and the two driven shafts 16 via a synchronous pulley. Thus, the drive power 12 drives the front and rear walking wheels 15 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 14, thereby realizing the movement of the trolley 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the driving power 12 can be a purchased standard component, such as a combination kit of a motor and a reducer.

[0049] It also includes a control system, which controls the trolley 1 to move along the guide rail 2 between the machine 5, the test point 4, and the charging point 3. The control system is equipped with a storage system, a queuing system, and a call system. The storage locations in the storage system correspond to each machine 5. Each machine 5 is equipped with a button. The call system calls the trolley 1 by pressing the button. The queuing system sorts the calls in order, and the trolley 1 goes to the corresponding machine 5 in sequence for transfer. The control system is also equipped with a battery management system. When the battery power of the trolley 1 is lower than the preset value, it returns to the charging point 3 to recharge.

[0050] In this embodiment, through the queuing system, the called machines 5 are arranged sequentially within the program. If a called machine 5 does not respond within a specified time, the task of this machine 5 will be cancelled, and the task of the next called machine 5 will be executed, ensuring the smooth operation.

[0051] In this embodiment, wireless communication can be used to enable each machine 5 to call the vehicle 1. For example, a communication sub-head is installed on each machine 5, and a communication head is installed on the vehicle 1. When a button is pressed on the corresponding machine 5, the communication sub-head is triggered to send a signal, and the communication head receives the signal.

[0052] In practical use, the storage locations corresponding to each machine 5 can be numbered.

[0053] A diffuse reflection photoelectric switch is installed on the tray 11 to detect the presence or absence of the tray 6 on the tray 11.

[0054] In this embodiment, ultrasonic radars can also be added to the front and rear of the trolley 1 to detect people and objects. For example, when a person or object appears on the guide rail 2, the trolley 1 will brake suddenly, that is, the driving power will stop suddenly, and an alarm will be issued to remind the surrounding personnel. After the person or object leaves the guide rail 2, the trolley 1 will continue to work.

[0055] This embodiment describes a method for using an automatic transfer tray trolley system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0056] Cart 1 receives a call signal, and then proceeds to the calling machine 5. Cart 1 travels along guide rail 2 to the calling machine 5 and waits for the tray 6 to be loaded onto the cart.

[0057] When the trolley 1 is located at the calling machine 5, if the tray 6 is loaded onto the trolley, the trolley 1 will drive the tray 6 to the test point 4; if the tray 6 is not loaded onto the trolley after the trolley 1 has waited for more than the preset time, for example, the preset time is 5 minutes, the trolley 1 will automatically process the next call or return to the charging point 3.

[0058] The trolley 1, which is equipped with the tray 6, waits at test point 4 to unload the tray. After unloading the tray, the trolley 1 automatically processes the next call or returns to charging point 3. If the trolley 1 waits for more than a preset time without unloading the tray, such as a preset time of 5 minutes, the trolley 1 will issue an alarm call.

[0059] When there is no call, the car 1 remains in a charging state at charging point 3;

[0060] When the battery level of vehicle 1 is lower than the preset value, such as 5%, vehicle 1 will run to charging point 3 to charge until it is charged to the preset working battery level, such as 30%, and then vehicle 1 will continue to process calls.

[0061] In this embodiment, the preset values ​​for time and power can be set according to actual needs, as long as they meet the actual production requirements.

[0062] In this embodiment, the trolley 1 drives the tray 11 to move along the guide rail 2 to realize the transportation of the tray 6. In actual production, the tray 6 can be a cable reel or an empty tray. Depending on the actual production, the cable reel is transported from the machine 5 to the test point 4, or the empty tray is transported to the machine 5, so that the trolley 1 replaces manpower and realizes the automatic transportation of the tray 6.

[0063] This invention enables automatic transport of equipment between various machines and test points by a trolley, effectively reducing manpower and greatly improving the efficiency and frequency of tray transport, making it highly practical.

[0064] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
