Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated production technology, and in particular relates to an FMS flexible manufacturing line. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible manufacturing systems refer to a group of devices linked by a transport system. The transport devices place workpieces on other connecting devices and deliver them to various processing machines, enabling accurate, rapid, and automated workpiece processing. Flexible manufacturing systems have centrally computer-controlled machine tools and transport systems, and can sometimes process several different parts simultaneously. A group of machines arranged in sequence are connected by automated loading, unloading, and transport machines and integrated into a computer system. Raw materials and parts to be processed are loaded and unloaded on the parts transport system. After a part is processed on one machine, it is transferred to the next. Each machine receives operating instructions and automatically loads and unloads the necessary tools without human intervention.

[0003] However, current flexible manufacturing systems are expensive to build and technically very complex. At the same time, ordinary production lines have limited applicability and cannot meet the needs of diverse production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A flexible manufacturing line (FMS) includes racks and at least one stacker crane, as well as at least one transition station and at least one set of CNC machining equipment;

[0006] The shelving includes a shelf constructed from a frame and several cabinets fixed inside the shelf. Every two sets of cabinets form a storage space, and a drainage mechanism is provided below the storage space.

[0007] The stacker includes a stacking frame and a first drive element that drives the stacking frame to move along the X-axis, and also includes a stacking robot that moves along the Y-axis on the stacking frame and a second drive element that drives the stacking robot.

[0008] The transition station includes a transition frame and a hopper door rotatably connected to the transition frame. Rotation can close / open the hopper door. A feeding tray is installed between the transition frames, and the feeding tray is used to place the material to be processed.

[0009] Furthermore, the drainage mechanism includes several water receiving trays, and each pair of water receiving trays is connected to each other by a water guide pipe and connected to the drainage trough by a water inlet pipe. The water in the water receiving trays can be discharged into the drainage trough through the water guide pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the stacking robot is a double-extension stacker, which has two extension positions, namely a first position and a second position. When the double-extension stacker is in the first position, it can move the material to be processed from the shelf. When it is in the second position, it can move the material to be processed from the feeding tray.

[0011] Furthermore, the first driving element includes a first motor and a slide rail, the stacking rack slides along the X-axis on the slide rail, one side of the slide rail is provided with a thread, and the output end of the motor is equipped with a gear that matches the thread.

[0012] Furthermore, the second driving element includes a second motor and a driving assembly. One end of the driving assembly is connected to the second motor, and the other end is connected to the stacking robot. The second motor can drive the stacking robot to move upward / downward along the Y-axis through the driving assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the CNC machining equipment is a CNC machining center.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive component is a rope pulley system.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model technology is simple to build and has low cost. The rack is built with an iron frame. The double-extension stacker crane can quickly move the materials to be processed between the rack and the transition station. It can process 24 hours a day without interruption. Through intelligent system control, it can realize the efficient production of multiple varieties and large batches of products.

[0017] 2. This utility model has several water receiving trays under the workpiece. Each group of water receiving trays is connected to each other by a water guide pipe and connected to a drainage trough by a water inlet pipe. The water in the water receiving trays can be discharged into the drainage trough through the water guide pipe, avoiding the residue of coolant during workpiece processing, which would result in the shelf being covered with residual water.
