Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material sorting technology, specifically to a transfer processing equipment and a water pump production line. Background Technology

[0002] When processing, inspecting, or cleaning products, the materials must first be inspected to determine whether they are OK or NG materials. OK materials can be processed further, while NG materials do not require processing. OK materials are then transported to the processing unit for processing via the handling department.

[0003] However, in practice, the continuous occurrence of non-compliant materials may cause the material handling department to be in a waiting state, and the processing station to wait for incoming materials to be processed. Alternatively, when a series of compliant materials occur, they may be waiting for the material handling department to handle them. This results in longer waiting times during material sorting and processing, a decrease in the overall production cycle time, and low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the sorting and processing efficiency of materials and increase the production cycle is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] This application provides a transfer processing device and a water pump production line, wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the transfer and processing equipment includes a sorting mechanism 10, a processing mechanism 20, and a conveying unit (not shown in the figure). The sorting mechanism 10 is used to sort and convey materials entering the transfer and processing equipment, and the processing mechanism 20 is used to process the materials to be processed. Specific processing can include product inspection, cleaning, assembly, etc., without specific limitations. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sorting mechanism 10 includes a first conveying section 1, a second conveying section 2, and a third conveying section 3. The first conveying section 1, the second conveying section 2, and the third conveying section 3 are all used for conveying materials. The first conveying section 1 is provided with a material sorting position 11, which is located on the material receiving side of the first conveying section 1 and is provided with a first identification section. The tooling used to place the material is provided with a marking section. The first identification section can identify whether the material is OK material or NG material by identifying the marking section of the tooling that arrives at the first conveying section 1. OK material refers to material that needs to be processed by the processing mechanism 20, and NG material refers to material that does not need to be processed by the processing mechanism 20.

[0038] The third conveying section 3 is located at least partially between the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2. The third conveying section 3 is used to convey OK material to the second conveying section 2. That is, NG material is conveyed by the first conveying section 1, and OK material can be conveyed to the second conveying section 2 via the third conveying section 3 and then conveyed by the second conveying section 2.

[0039] The processing unit 20 includes at least two processing sections 201. The processing sections 201 are used for processing materials, such as inspection, cleaning, and assembly. The second conveying section 2 is provided with a material changing station 21. The transport section is used to move back and forth between the material changing station 21 and the processing section 201, and to transport materials. Specifically, the transport section can transport materials located at the material changing station 21 to the processing section 201, and can also transport materials processed by the processing section 201 to the material changing station 21.

[0040] In detail, during actual production, the processing unit 20 also includes an empty material position 202 and a storage position 203. The empty material position 202 is in an vacant state, while the storage position 203 is used to place the material processed by the processing unit 201. The conveying unit specifically moves materials between the material exchange position 21 and the empty material position 202, and between the storage position 203 and the material exchange position 21, to realize the replacement of materials at the material exchange position 21.

[0041] The number of empty material positions 202 can be one or more, and they are used to receive materials to be processed from the handling department. The number of storage positions 203 can be one or more, and each storage position 203 is used to store the processed materials. These materials are in a state of waiting to be transported and exchanged with the materials in the material exchange position 21.

[0042] In other words, the sorting mechanism 10 is used to sort the materials and transport the materials to be processed to the material exchange position 21. The processing mechanism 20 is used to process the materials. The source of the materials is the sorting mechanism 10. The processed materials are placed in the storage position 203. In this way, the handling unit can continuously transport materials between the material exchange position 21 and the empty material position 202, and between the storage position 203 and the material exchange position 21, without waiting for material processing, thus ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the transfer and processing equipment.

[0043] In detail, after the material enters the first conveying section 1, the first identification section identifies the tooling marking section to distinguish the material as OK material and NG material. Then, the tooling carrying NG material is conveyed by the first conveying section 1, and the tooling carrying OK material is conveyed through the third conveying section 3 to the second conveying section 2, and then conveyed by the second conveying section 2 to the material changing position 21. After arriving at the material changing position 21, the material at the material changing position 21 can be transported by the handling section to the empty material position 202 of the processing mechanism 20. At this time, the tooling at the material changing position 21 is empty. Then, the handling section transports the material at the storage position 203 to the tooling at the material changing position 21, and the second conveying section 2 continues to convey it. The processing mechanism 20 processes the material located at the empty material position 202 and forms a new empty material position 202. Then, the handling section replaces the OK material that arrives at the material changing position with the material located at the storage position 203.

[0044] In other words, the sorting mechanism 10 continuously sorts and transports materials. The materials transported by the second conveying unit 2 are all OK materials, while NG materials are all transported by the first conveying unit 1, effectively reducing the waiting time for OK materials in the handling unit. The processing mechanism 20 continuously processes the OK materials to be processed. The handling unit continuously transports materials between the material exchange position 21 and the empty material position 202, and between the storage position 203 and the material exchange position 21. All mechanisms work together simultaneously to ensure the stable and efficient continuous operation of the flow processing equipment. While realizing material sorting and processing, it reduces the time that materials stay in the flow process, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the material flow processing.

[0045] Specifically, the empty material position 202 can be a fixed position, that is, each time the conveying unit moves the material from the material exchange position 21 to the empty material position 202 determined by this position, or the position of the empty material position 202 can be determined according to the specific situation. For example, after the conveying unit moves the material from a certain storage position 203 to the material exchange position 21, the storage position 203 is in an empty state, thus forming an empty material position 202. There are no specific restrictions here.

[0046] There is no limit to the number of storage locations 203. The specific number can be determined based on the time interval between the sorting mechanism 10 transporting OK materials to the material exchange location 21 and the processing time of the processing mechanism 20 for the materials.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the specific structure of the conveying unit. It can be a robotic arm or a push-pull component, etc., and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0048] The water pump production line provided in this application embodiment includes the aforementioned transfer and processing equipment. The water pump is the material, the fixture is used to hold the water pump and is equipped with a marking section, and the processing section 201 is a testing device capable of testing the water pump. Testing the water pump using at least two testing devices improves testing efficiency and satisfies the efficiency of the second conveying section 2 in transporting the water pump. The transport section can move back and forth between the material exchange station 21 and the processing section 201, transporting the water pump. Specifically, the transport section transports the water pump arriving at the material exchange station 21 to one of the testing devices. At this time, the fixture at the material exchange station 21 is in an empty state. Then, the transport section transports the water pumps from other testing devices that have completed testing to the fixture at the material exchange station 21. The fixture then carries the tested water pumps and continues to move along the second conveying section 2. Figure 2 As shown, the third conveying section 3 includes a pushing section 51 and a transition connecting section 52. The transition connecting section 52 is located between the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2. The second conveying section 2 is provided with a receiving position 22, which is used to receive OK material from the first conveying section 1. The pushing section 51 is used to push the OK material located in the first conveying section 1 through the transition connecting section 52 to the receiving position 22 of the second conveying section 2.

[0049] In other words, the transition connection 52 forms a channel between the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2, and the pushing section 51 can move the tooling carrying the OK material to the second conveying section 2 through the pushing action. The transition connection 52 includes a main body 524 and a rolling element 521, wherein the main body 524 is connected between the material distribution position 11 and the material receiving position 22, the rolling element 521 is disposed on the main body 524 and can roll relative to the main body 524, and the rolling element 521 is provided with a rolling surface for contacting the tooling.

[0050] The pushing part 51 is provided with a pushing member that can move along the main body 524 and push the OK material along the main body 524. Since the main body 524 is provided with a rolling member 521, the tooling carrying the OK material contacts the rolling surface of the rolling member 521 when it passes through the transition connection part 52, reducing the friction of the tooling when it passes through the transition connection part 52, reducing the wear on the tooling, and also reducing the driving force requirement of the pushing part 51.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, the pushing unit 51 includes a slide rail 511, and the pushing member 512 can abut against the tooling and slide along the slide rail 511 towards the second conveying unit 2, thereby moving the tooling carrying the OK material to the second conveying unit 2. Specifically, there are no restrictions on the specific structure of the pushing member 512, such as it can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor screw assembly, etc. There are also no specific restrictions on the location and method of the slide rail 511, such as it can be a slide rail, a slide groove, etc.

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rolling element 521 is a ball bearing, which is embedded within the main body 524, with its top protruding upwards from the main body 524 to facilitate contact with the tooling. Of course, in this embodiment, the rolling element 521 can also be a roller or other similar device; no specific limitation is made here. When the rolling element 521 is a ball bearing, the rolling direction of the ball bearing can be arbitrary, reducing rolling friction between the rolling element 521 and the tooling as it passes through the main body 524.

[0053] Guide members 522 are provided on both sides of the main body 524, and a guide channel 523 is formed between the guide members 522 on both sides. The surface of the guide channel 523 is provided with the aforementioned rolling member 521. The tooling carrying OK material can move to the second conveying unit 2 along the guide channel 523 under the pushing action of the pushing unit 51. The guide member 522 can be a plate structure or a block structure with intervals. The guide member 522 can guide the movement of the tooling, avoid the tooling from tilting or falling during the movement, and ensure that the OK material can move smoothly and stably to the second conveying unit 2.

[0054] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the sorting mechanism 10 also includes a fourth conveying section 4, which is at least partially located between the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2. The fourth conveying section 4 can transport the tooling located in the second conveying section 2 to the first conveying section 1. Of course, the fourth conveying section 4 can also be omitted, that is, the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2 can unload materials separately. However, by setting up the fourth conveying section 4, all materials are unloaded from the same position in the first conveying section 1 and transferred to the next workstation, which simplifies the setup of the next process.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, there is no limitation on the specific structure of the fourth conveying unit 4. The structure of the fourth conveying unit 4 and the third conveying unit 3 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, it is preferable to set the fourth conveying unit 4 to have the same structure as the third conveying unit 3, which is low in cost and has good versatility.

[0056] Taking the third conveying section 3 as an example, the top of the rolling element 521 of the transition connecting section 52 protrudes upward from the material distribution position 11 and the material receiving position 22. That is to say, the upper surface of the transition connecting section 52 is higher than the upper surface of the first conveying section 1 and the upper surface of the second conveying section 2. The first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2 are also provided with first lifting parts 61 respectively. The two first lifting parts 61 are located at both ends of the transition connecting section 52 of the third conveying section 3 and are used to lift the tooling.

[0057] The transition connection 52 connects the material distribution position 11 and the material receiving position 22. The material distribution position 11 and the material receiving position 22 are respectively provided with the aforementioned first lifting part 61. After the tooling carrying the material reaches the first conveying part 1 and moves along the first conveying part 1 to the material distribution position 11, since the height of the transition connection 52 is higher than the height of the first conveying part 1, it can prevent the tooling carrying the material from directly reaching the transition connection 52. The first identification part identifies whether the material is OK or NG by identifying the marking part of the tooling. If the material is OK, the first lifting part 61 located at the material distribution position 11 and the first lifting part 61 located at the material receiving position 22 are connected. The first lifting section 61 of 22 rises, and the tooling carrying OK material disengages from the first conveying section 1. The pushing section 51 pushes the tooling through the transition connecting section 52 to the receiving position 22 of the second conveying section 2. Then, the first lifting section 61 at the receiving position 22 descends, so that the tooling falls into the second conveying section 2. Then, the tooling moves along the second conveying section 2. Subsequently, a new tooling carrying material will arrive at the distributing position 11 of the first conveying section 1 again. If the material is NG material, the first lifting section 61 does not need to rise, and the tooling carrying NG material can be directly conveyed by the first conveying section 1.

[0058] By setting the height of the transition connection 52 to be higher than that of the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2, the transition connection 52 can block the tooling when there is no need to convey materials, thereby preventing NG materials from moving to the second conveying section 2, thus effectively ensuring that the materials processed by the processing mechanism 20 are all OK materials, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first conveying section 1 is also provided with a discharge position 12, the second conveying section 2 is also provided with a feeding position 23, and the transition connection section 52 of the fourth conveying section 4 is connected between the feeding position 23 and the discharge position 12. The feeding position 23 and the discharge position 12 are respectively provided with a second lifting section 62.

[0060] In this embodiment, both ends of the third conveying section 3 and both ends of the fourth conveying section 4 are respectively equipped with position sensors 73. That is, the material distribution position 11, the material receiving position 22, the material feeding position 23, and the material discharging position 12 are respectively equipped with position sensors 73. The position sensors 73 are used to detect whether material has arrived. If the position sensors 73 determine that material has arrived, the lifting part located on the downstream side can rise or fall accordingly. Taking the arrival of material at the material distribution position 11 as an example, the first lifting part 61 of the material receiving position 22 located on the downstream side can rise to prepare for receiving the material.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second conveying unit 2 also has a buffer position 24, which is located upstream of the material changing position 21. The buffer position 24 also has a first stop part 81, and the material changing position 21 also has a first sensor 71. The first sensor 71 is used to detect whether there is a tooling at the material changing position 21. When there is a tooling at the material changing position 21, it means that material changing is in progress, and the first stop part 81 is in a stop state. Subsequent materials will not reach the material changing position 21 temporarily to avoid collisions or other impacts on the tooling at the material changing position 21. When the material changing position 21 is without tooling, it means that the material changing at the material changing position 21 has been completed. At this time, the first stop part 81 switches to the release state, allowing the next material to move to the material changing position 21. This setting can avoid a large amount of material reaching the material changing position 21 and affecting the material changing process, thereby ensuring that the material changing operation is carried out normally and orderly.

[0062] The buffer position 24 is also equipped with a second sensor 72, which is used to detect whether the buffer position 24 is full. If there are tooling in all positions of the buffer position 24, the buffer position 24 is full. The second conveying part 2 is full and no longer receives new OK materials. The third conveying part 3 is in a stopped conveying state, so that OK materials and NG materials move along the first conveying part 1 to avoid the second conveying part 2 having too much material. If there are empty positions in the buffer position 24, the buffer position 24 is not full. The third conveying part 3 is used to convey the OK materials located at the material distribution position 11 to the second conveying part 2.

[0063] Specifically, the buffer position 24 can be formed by the aforementioned receiving position 22. When the material changing position 21 is changing materials, the material remains at the receiving position 22. At this time, the position sensor 73 located at the receiving position 22 forms the aforementioned second sensor 72, used to determine whether the receiving position 22 is full. Of course, the buffer position 24 can also be set between the receiving position 22 and the material changing position 21; no specific restrictions are made here. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a buffer position 24 is provided between the receiving position 22 and the changing position 21, and both the receiving position 22 and the buffer position 24 are provided with a first stop part 81.

[0064] The transfer and processing equipment can be used in at least two sets simultaneously. For example, a water pump production line includes at least two sets of transfer and processing equipment, and the processing section in each transfer and processing equipment is used to test the water pump. The two adjacent sets of transfer and processing equipment are respectively the first transfer and processing equipment and the second transfer and processing equipment. The first transfer and processing equipment is located upstream of the second transfer and processing equipment. The first conveying section of the first transfer and processing equipment is connected to the first conveying section of the second transfer and processing equipment. When the buffer position of the first transfer and processing equipment is full, the second conveying section of the first transfer and processing equipment is also full. The third conveying section stops conveying materials, so that the materials entering the first transfer and processing equipment enter the first conveying section of the second transfer and processing equipment along the first conveying section of the first transfer and processing equipment.

[0065] In other words, any OK and NG materials that the first processing unit couldn't process, as well as the processed materials, all move to the next processing unit. OK materials that couldn't be processed are handled by the second processing unit. By processing materials through different processing units, the material handling process is diverted, ensuring overall material handling efficiency, accelerating production cycle time, and guaranteeing the utilization efficiency of each processing unit. The specific number of processing units is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0066] In this embodiment, the material changing station 21 is also equipped with a second identification unit. After the material changing at the material changing station 21 is replaced by the conveying unit, the second identification unit identifies the marking part of the tooling and matches the marking part with the replaced material. Subsequently, information such as whether the material has passed inspection, installation, or cleaning can be obtained through the marking part. By matching the replaced material with the tooling one by one through the second identification unit, the accuracy of subsequent material identification is ensured.

[0067] In this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the marking part provided on the tooling. For example, the marking part can be a barcode, QR code or other identification code, or it can be a mark such as text, numbers or symbols. There are no restrictions on the specific structure and identification method of the first identification part and the second identification part. For example, it can be encoded by RFID (Radio-frequency identification).

[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the material changing position 21 is also provided with a second stop part 82 and a third lifting part 63. The third lifting part 63 is used to lift the tooling located at the material changing position 21. When the second conveying part 2 transports the tooling containing OK material to the material changing position 21, the tooling will be stopped by the second stop part 82. Then the third lifting part 63 lifts the tooling, so that the tooling is separated from the second conveying part 2. The second conveying part 2 can still transport materials to other positions without stopping. After the material is changed, the third lifting part 63 lowers, the tooling falls back to the second conveying part 2, the second stop part 82 is in the open state, the tooling carrying the material moves along the second conveying part 2 and leaves the material changing position 21, and then the second stop part 82 returns to the stop state.

[0069] This setup ensures that the sorting and movement of other materials are unrestricted during the material change process, allowing for simultaneous sorting, replacement, and processing of materials with high efficiency.

[0070] Furthermore, since the materials for both the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2 are discharged from the discharge position 12 of the first conveying section 1, congestion may occur at this discharge position 12, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying unit 1 is equipped with a third stop unit 83 upstream of the discharge position 12, and the second conveying unit 2 is equipped with a fourth stop unit 84 upstream of the feeding position 23. The third stop unit 83 and the fourth stop unit 84 are used to stop the tooling, so that only one tooling carrying material arrives at the discharge position 12 at the same time, avoiding collision between the tooling conveyed by the first conveying unit 1 and the tooling conveyed by the second conveying unit 2 at the discharge position 12. Specifically, the material conveying status can be determined by the position sensor 73 installed at the feeding position 23 and the discharge position 12, thereby effectively controlling the third stop unit 83 and the fourth stop unit 84.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the material distribution station 11 is also equipped with a fifth stop section 85. When the tooling carrying material arrives at the material distribution station 11, it is stopped by the fifth stop section 85. The first identification section is located on the marking section of the tooling to ensure the stability of the tooling and facilitate identification by the first identification section. In addition, the feeding station 23 is also equipped with a sixth stop section 86, and the discharging station 12 is also equipped with a seventh stop section 87. The sixth stop section 86 can stop the tooling arriving at the feeding station 23 to prevent the tooling from detaching from the first conveying section 1, and the seventh stop section 87 can stop the tooling arriving at the discharging station 12 to prevent the tooling from detaching directly from the second conveying section 2.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the specific structure of each of the above-mentioned stop parts. For example, it can be a stop cylinder or a motor lead screw, or any structure that can achieve telescopic stop.

[0073] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first conveying unit 1 and the second conveying unit 2 is not limited, such as... Figure 2 As shown, both the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 2 are conveyor belts. Specifically, the conveyor rollers can be driven by a motor to rotate, thereby moving the conveyor belt and the tooling located on the conveyor belt. Specifically, taking the first conveying section 1 as an example, the first conveying section 1 is formed by two parallel conveyor belts with a hollow structure in the middle, so that the aforementioned lifting and stopping parts can pass through the hollow structure for material detection, stopping, etc.

[0074] Of course, in this embodiment, the conveying section can also be configured as a drive roller structure. However, configuring the conveying section as a conveyor belt structure can reduce costs and also provide protection for the tooling, ensuring the stability of the material movement along the conveyor belt.

[0075] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
