Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, and more specifically, to a heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of products in special industries, tooling warehouses play a crucial role. They are mainly used for storing and transporting non-standard tooling for shell forming, including multiple processes such as core molding, insulation, winding, curing, machining, and demolding. In order to improve production efficiency and intelligent management, an automated warehouse system has been built to realize the automated selection, storage, and intelligent management of tooling, and to effectively connect with the logistics and transportation system. However, in this production environment, tooling molds have significant characteristics: diverse specifications and sizes, and a wide range of weights. Specifically, the weight of a unit of goods may range from 400kg to 2700kg, while the specifications and sizes may include various types.

[0003] Traditional automated warehouse conveyor designs are often tailored to the inbound and outbound needs of a single aisle, with each aisle equipped with a dedicated conveyor. This design proves inadequate when dealing with goods of varying sizes and weights, failing to achieve compatibility and unable to support shared use across multiple aisles. Furthermore, existing conveyors typically only possess single conveying or simple rotation functions, unable to meet the precise alignment requirements of complex layouts or the need for multi-directional, multi-station connections. Therefore, we propose an improvement: a heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor. Utility Model Content

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] As described in the background section, traditional automated warehouse front conveyor designs are often designed for the inbound and outbound needs of goods at a single aisle entrance, with each aisle entrance equipped with a dedicated conveyor. This design is inadequate when dealing with goods of various sizes and weights, unable to achieve compatible processing, and cannot support sharing across multiple aisles. Furthermore, existing conveyors typically only have a single conveying function or a simple rotation function, which cannot meet the precise alignment requirements in complex layouts or the connection requirements of multiple directions and multiple workstations.

[0031] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a heavy-duty ferry rotary conveyor.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figures 1-5 The heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor specifically includes:

[0033] The system includes a traveling mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2 mounted on the traveling mechanism 1, and a conveying mechanism 3 mounted on the rotating mechanism 2. The traveling mechanism 1 drives the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally, and the rotating mechanism 2 drives the conveying mechanism 3 to rotate. The conveying mechanism 3 includes an upper support frame 301 mounted on the rotating mechanism 2. Two sets of conveying components are mounted on the upper support frame 301. The conveying components include a first conveying roller 302 and several second conveying rollers 303. The second conveying rollers 303 and the first conveying rollers 302 are both mounted on the upper support frame 301. The several second conveying rollers 303 are located on one side of the several first conveying rollers 302, and the length of the several second conveying rollers 303 decreases sequentially in the direction away from the first conveying rollers 302.

[0034] The heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor provided by this utility model, through the setting of a walking mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2 and a conveying mechanism 3, the walking mechanism 1 can drive the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally to adjust the horizontal position, and the rotating mechanism 2 can drive the conveying mechanism 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. Compared with the traditional conveyor, in this application, the conveying mechanism 3 can convey materials in multiple directions, including left and right shuttle to connect two stacker cranes, and forward and reverse rotation to connect roller conveyors. The setting of two sets of conveying components supports bidirectional feeding and discharging. The setting of the second conveying roller 303 and the first conveying roller 302 realizes the segmented assembly of the rollers to adapt to pallets of different sizes.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0037] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0038] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-5 A heavy-duty ferry rotary conveyor includes a traveling mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2 disposed on the traveling mechanism 1, and a conveying mechanism 3 disposed on the rotating mechanism 2. The traveling mechanism 1 is used to drive the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally, and the rotating mechanism 2 is used to drive the conveying mechanism 3 to rotate.

[0039] The conveying mechanism 3 includes an upper support frame 301 mounted on the rotating mechanism 2. Two sets of conveying components are mounted on the upper support frame 301. The conveying components include a first conveying roller 302 and several second conveying rollers 303. Both the second conveying rollers 303 and the first conveying rollers 302 are mounted on the upper support frame 301. The several second conveying rollers 303 are located on one side of the several first conveying rollers 302, and the length of the several second conveying rollers 303 decreases sequentially in the direction away from the first conveying rollers 302.

[0040] This application features a walking mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2, and a conveying mechanism 3. The walking mechanism 1 can drive the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally to adjust their horizontal positions. The rotating mechanism 2 can drive the conveying mechanism 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. Compared with traditional conveyors, in this application, the conveying mechanism 3 can convey materials in multiple directions, including left and right swinging to dock with two stacker cranes, and forward and reverse rotation docking with roller conveyors. The two sets of conveying components support bidirectional feeding and discharging. The second conveying roller 303 and the first conveying roller 302 enable segmented assembly of the rollers to adapt to pallets of different sizes.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second conveyor roller 303, which is closest to the first conveyor roller 302, is the longest, while the second conveyor roller 303, which is located on the outermost side, is the shortest. The outermost side is the inlet and outlet of the conveying mechanism 3. This arrangement makes the inlet and outlet of the conveying mechanism 3 range from narrow to wide, so that the inlet and outlet of the conveying mechanism 3 can be connected to different stacker cranes or conveyors.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a third motor 306 is installed on the upper support frame 301. The third motor 306, one of the second conveying rollers 303 and several first conveying rollers 302 are all equipped with first sprockets, and a first chain drives the first sprockets to rotate synchronously. The third motor 306 can drive one of the second conveying rollers 303 and several first conveying rollers 302 to rotate synchronously through the first chain and the first sprockets to realize the conveying of materials.

[0043] Furthermore, a second sprocket and a second chain are connected between two adjacent second conveying rollers 303, so that several second conveying rollers 303 rotate synchronously under the drive of the second sprocket and the second chain, thereby enabling the third motor 306 to drive the first conveying roller 302 and the second conveying roller 303 to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of materials.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, guardrails 304 are installed on both sides of the top of the upper support frame 301, and the second conveying roller 303 is located on the side of the guardrail 304. The guardrail 304 is used to protect the materials conveyed on the first conveying roller 302. The setting range of the guardrail 304 does not cover the second conveying roller 303, so as not to affect the docking of the second conveying roller 303 with the stacker crane.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, several sensors 305 are installed on the guardrail 304. The sensors 305 are used to detect the position of the material on the first conveying roller 302.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a driven gear 307 is installed at the bottom of the upper support frame 301, and the driven gear 307 is connected to the rotating mechanism 2. The rotating mechanism 2 can drive the upper support frame 301 to rotate through the driven gear 307, so as to adjust the angle of the upper support frame 301.

[0047] Example 2 further optimizes the heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a lower support frame 201 mounted on the traveling mechanism 1. A rotary support platform 203 is rotatably mounted on the lower support frame 201, and the rotary support platform 203 is connected to the bottom of the upper support frame 301. The center of the third motor 306 is located at the same point as the center of the rotary support platform 203. A second motor 202 is mounted on the lower support frame 201. The output shaft of the second motor 202 is connected to a drive gear, and the drive gear meshes with a driven gear 307. The rotary support platform 203 can support the upper support frame 301. The cooperation of the second motor 202, the drive gear, and the driven gear 307 drives the upper support frame 301 to rotate.

[0048] Example 3 further optimizes the heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor provided in Example 1 or 2, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-2 As shown, the walking mechanism 1 includes a guide rail 101 and a frame 102. The lower support frame 201 is mounted on the frame 102. Multiple drive shafts 103 are arranged on the frame 102 through bearings. One of the drive shafts 103 is connected to a first motor 104, and both ends of the drive shaft 103 are equipped with walking wheels 105. The walking wheels 105 are in rolling connection with the outer surface of the guide rail 101. The first motor 104 drives the walking wheels 105 to rotate through the drive shaft 103 connected to it, thereby controlling the frame 102 to move horizontally. When the frame 102 moves horizontally, it drives the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the walking mechanism 1 also includes multiple safety guards 106 located on both sides of the frame 102. Protective pads 107 are installed on the safety guards 106. The safety guards 106 and the protective pads 107 cooperate with each other to limit the range of horizontal movement of the frame 102 and improve the safety of use.

[0050] The heavy-duty shuttle rotary conveyor provided by this utility model is used as follows:

[0051] Reference Figure 6For ease of understanding, this application uses A to represent an automated warehouse, B to represent a small pallet stacker, and C to represent a large pallet stacker, and these are labeled in the figure. This application is installed between a small pallet stacker and a large pallet stacker to realize the material transportation between the two stackers. The traveling mechanism 1 drives the rotating mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 to move horizontally, so that the conveying mechanism 3 can move towards the small pallet stacker or the large pallet stacker. The rotating mechanism 2 drives the conveying mechanism 3 to rotate, and the angle of the conveying mechanism 3 is adjusted so that the conveying mechanism 3 can connect with the small pallet stacker, the large pallet stacker, or other conveyors used in conjunction with the automated warehouse.
