Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic processing equipment, and particularly relates to a storage device and an automatic production line. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of automatic production, a carrier is a carrier of a product, and the carrier carries the product to flow between each machine in the production line to complete production. In order to reduce the downtime of equipment in the production line and improve the production efficiency of the production line, a storage device is usually arranged between two adjacent processes. When a process or equipment is suspended due to failure or adjustment, the storage device can store the carriers before the process, thereby reducing the time of the subsequent process and ensuring the continuity and stability of the production line.

[0003] However, the existing storage device generally transports the carriers to the storage device through the conveying line of the external production line, and the carriers are prone to not being completely inserted into the storage device, which causes the carriers to be suspended or dropped, thereby affecting the normal operation of the production line. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a storage device and an automatic production line to improve the technical problem that the carriers are unstable and prone to falling in the existing storage device and reduce the production efficiency of the production line.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a storage device. The storage device comprises a frame and a plurality of conveying mechanisms, and the frame is provided with a storage space. The plurality of conveying mechanisms are arranged at intervals along a first direction on the frame and located in the storage space. Each conveying mechanism comprises a first conveying belt assembly and a second conveying belt assembly, and the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the frame. The first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly are configured to jointly support the carriers and convey the carriers along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0006] In the above-mentioned storage device, through the cooperation of the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly, the carriers can be not only supported to realize the storage of the carriers, but also driven to move along the second direction, which is beneficial to ensure that the carriers are completely accommodated in the storage space, thereby reducing the risk of the carriers being suspended or dropped, ensuring the normal operation of the production line and improving the production efficiency.

[0007] In at least one embodiment, the storage device further comprises a driving mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The driving mechanism comprises a first driving assembly and a second driving assembly, and the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly are both mounted on the frame. The first driving assembly is configured to drive the corresponding first conveying belt assembly to rotate, and the second driving assembly is configured to drive the corresponding second conveying belt assembly to rotate. The lifting mechanism is connected with the frame, and the lifting mechanism is configured to drive the frame to move in the first direction, so that the first driving assembly is connected with the corresponding first conveying belt assembly, and the second driving assembly is connected with the corresponding second conveying belt assembly.

[0008] In the above embodiment, through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the driving mechanism, on the one hand, the automatic storage and discharge of the storage device can be realized, and the automation degree of the storage device is improved, and on the other hand, the technicians only need to set two driving assemblies (specifically, the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly), so that the work of multiple conveying mechanisms can be realized, and the production cost is reduced.

[0009] In at least one embodiment, the first conveying belt assembly comprises a first conveying belt and two first pulleys. The two first pulleys are rotatably mounted on the frame and are arranged and spaced apart in the second direction. The first conveying belt is wound around the two first pulleys, and one of the two first pulleys is configured to be connected with the first driving assembly.

The two second pulleys are rotatably mounted on the frame and are arranged and spaced apart in the second direction. The second conveying belt is wound around the two second pulleys, and one of the two second pulleys is configured to be connected with the second driving assembly.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the first driving assembly drives the first pulley to rotate, thereby driving the first conveying belt to move, and the second driving assembly drives the second pulley to rotate, thereby driving the second conveying belt to move. The first conveying belt and the second conveying belt jointly drive the carrier to move in the second direction into the storage space and stop. By using the conveying belt and the pulley transmission mode, not only the transmission precision is high, but also the conveying effect is stable.

[0011] In at least one embodiment, the first pulley is provided with a first tooth portion, and the first driving assembly is provided with a second tooth portion. When the first driving assembly drives the first conveying belt assembly to rotate, the first tooth portion is engaged with the second tooth portion. The second pulley is provided with a third tooth portion, and the second driving assembly is provided with a fourth tooth portion. When the second driving assembly drives the second conveying belt assembly to rotate, the third tooth portion is engaged with the fourth tooth portion.

[0012] In the above embodiment, by using the gear engagement mode, the transmission between the first driving assembly and the first pulley and the transmission between the second driving assembly and the second pulley are realized, which is conducive to ensuring the transmission precision between the first driving assembly and the first pulley and the transmission precision between the second driving assembly and the second pulley, and making the structure of the storage device more compact.

[0013] In at least one embodiment, the storage device further comprises a clutch mechanism, the clutch mechanism comprising a first clutch assembly and a second clutch assembly. The first clutch assembly is mounted to the frame and connected with the first driving assembly. The first clutch assembly is configured to drive the first driving assembly to move, so as to connect or disconnect the first driving assembly with the first pulley. The second clutch assembly is mounted to the frame and connected with the second driving assembly. The second clutch assembly is configured to drive the second driving assembly to move, so as to connect or disconnect the second driving assembly with the second pulley.

[0014] In the above embodiment, by providing the first clutch assembly and the second clutch assembly, the load between the first driving assembly and the first pulley and the load between the second driving assembly and the second pulley can be reduced during the idle period of the storage device, and the service life of the storage device is prolonged.

[0015] In at least one embodiment, the first conveying belt assembly further comprises a first support member mounted between two adjacent first pulleys.

The second conveying belt assembly further comprises a second support member mounted between two adjacent second pulleys. The second support member is configured to carry the carrier and a part of the second conveying belt when the carrier moves to the storage space.

[0016] In the above embodiment, the first support member and the second support member not only can jointly carry the carrier with the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt, reducing the risk of the carrier falling, but also can share the pressure of the carrier borne by the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or damage of the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt due to excessive bearing pressure, and prolonging the service life of the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly.

[0017] In at least one embodiment, the frame comprises a base plate, a first fixed plate and a second fixed plate. The first fixed plate and the second fixed plate are spaced apart along a third direction on the base plate, and the storage space is formed between the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate.

[0018] In the above embodiment, the frame is assembled by the base plate, the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the storage device. For example, the technician can install the second conveying belt assembly on the second fixing plate while installing the first conveying belt assembly on the first fixing plate, and finally the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are arranged along the third direction on the base plate. It is also convenient to repair or replace the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly. When repairing or replacing the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly, the technician can disassemble the corresponding fixing plate to increase the operation space of the technician.

[0019] In at least one embodiment, the storage device further comprises a distance adjusting mechanism, which is installed on the base plate and connected with the second fixing plate and / or the first fixing plate. The distance adjusting mechanism is configured to drive the first fixing plate and / or the second fixing plate to move along the third direction.

[0020] In the above embodiment, when the size of the supported carrier changes, the technician can drive the first fixing plate and / or the second fixing plate to move along the third direction by the distance adjusting mechanism to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, so as to realize the compatibility of supporting carriers of different sizes, which is conducive to improving the versatility and flexibility of the storage device.

[0021] In at least one embodiment, the distance adjusting mechanism comprises a driving member and a lead screw. The driving member is installed on the base plate, and the lead screw is installed on the base plate along the third direction and connected with the driving member. The first fixing plate and / or the second fixing plate are connected with the lead screw.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the driving member drives the lead screw to rotate forward or reverse to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate. By adopting the lead screw transmission mode, not only the carrying capacity of the distance adjusting mechanism is improved to ensure the stability of transmission, but also efficient energy conversion is realized to reduce energy consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0036] The application provides a storage device. The storage device comprises a frame and at least one conveying mechanism, the frame being provided with a storage space. The conveying mechanism is arranged on the frame and located in the storage space. When the number of conveying mechanisms is multiple, the multiple conveying mechanisms are distributed along a first direction. Each conveying mechanism comprises a first conveying belt assembly and a second conveying belt assembly, the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly being symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame, and the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly being configured to jointly support a carrier and convey the carrier along a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction.

[0037] In the storage device described above, through the cooperation of the first conveying belt assembly and the second conveying belt assembly, the carrier can be not only supported to realize the buffering of the carrier, but also driven to move along the second direction, which is beneficial to ensuring that the carrier is completely accommodated in the storage space, thereby reducing the risk of the carrier being suspended or falling, ensuring the normal operation of the production line, and improving the production efficiency.

[0038] Some embodiments of the application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. In the present embodiment, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are defined as being perpendicular to each other. The first direction is the direction parallel to X in the drawing, the second direction is the direction parallel to Y in the drawing, and the third direction is the direction parallel to Z in the drawing. For the convenience of referring to the drawing, the first direction is denoted as "first direction X" hereinafter, the second direction is denoted as "second direction Y", and the third direction is denoted as "third direction Z".

[0039] In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to facilitate the observation of the structure and the cooperation relationship of the storage device 10, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 the storage device 10 does not completely support the carrier 200 in the above-mentioned drawings. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the application, and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0040] An embodiment of the application provides a storage device 10 for storing a carrier 200. In an automated production process, the carrier 200 usually serves as a carrier of a product (which can be a chip, a circuit board, etc.), and the carrier 200 carries the product to flow between various machines in the production line to complete production.

[0041] It should be noted that the storage device 10 can not only play a buffering role between different processes of the production line, for example, when a process or equipment is suspended due to failure or adjustment, the storage device 10 can store the carriers 200 before the process, thereby reducing the time of the subsequent process, ensuring the continuity and stability of the production line, and balancing the production rhythm between different processes of the production line, so that each process or station can produce according to the set rhythm, avoiding the problem of production stagnation or backlog caused by inconsistent rhythm.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The storage device 10 includes a frame 11 and a plurality of conveying mechanisms 12. The frame 11 is provided with a storage space 111, and the plurality of conveying mechanisms 12 are arranged on the frame 11 in the first direction X and located in the storage space 111. When the carrier 200 is buffered, the carrier 200 moves onto the corresponding conveying mechanism 12, so that the storage of the carrier 200 is realized.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 Each conveying mechanism 12 includes a first conveying belt assembly 121 and a second conveying belt assembly 122. The first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 are arranged on both sides of the frame 11, and the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 are configured to jointly support the carrier 200 and convey the carrier 200 in the second direction Y.

[0044] Understandably, when one end of the carrier 200 moves to the storage space 111, the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 support both sides of the carrier 200, respectively. At the same time, the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 jointly convey the carrier 200 in the second direction Y until the carrier 200 is completely accommodated in the storage space 111. After the carrier 200 is completely accommodated in the storage space 111, the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 stop moving.

[0045] In some embodiments, the external conveying line conveys the carrier 200 in the first direction X until one end of the carrier 200 is located on the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122. Then, the external conveying line continues to drive the carrier 200 to drive the carrier 200 to continue to move, and the carrier 200 can drive the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 to move until the carrier 200 is separated from the external conveying line and moves into the frame 11.

[0046] The storage device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application can support the carriers 200 through the cooperation of the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122, so as to realize the storage of the carriers 200. Meanwhile, the carriers 200 can be driven to move along the second direction Y, which is beneficial to ensure that the carriers 200 are completely accommodated in the storage space 111, thereby reducing the risk of the carriers 200 being suspended or falling, ensuring the normal operation of the production line, and improving the production efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage device 10 further comprises a driving mechanism 13 and a lifting mechanism 14. The driving mechanism 13 comprises a first driving assembly 131 and a second driving assembly 132, and the first driving assembly 131 and the second driving assembly 132 are both mounted on the frame 11. The first driving assembly 131 is configured to drive the corresponding first conveying belt assembly 121 to rotate, and the second driving assembly 132 is configured to drive the corresponding second conveying belt assembly 122 to rotate.

[0048] The lifting mechanism 14 is connected with the frame 11. The lifting mechanism 14 is configured to drive the frame 11 to move along the first direction X, so as to connect the first driving assembly 131 with the corresponding first conveying belt assembly 121 and connect the second driving assembly 132 with the corresponding second conveying belt assembly 122.

[0049] It is worth noting that the rotation speeds of the first driving assembly 131 and the second driving assembly 132 are the same, which is beneficial to ensure that the moving speeds of the two sides of the carrier 200 are the same, reduce the risk of the carrier 200 falling due to the offset caused by the different moving speeds of the two sides of the carrier 200, and improve the stability of conveying the carrier 200.

[0050] For example, the number of the conveying mechanisms 12 is two, which are defined as a first conveying mechanism (not shown in the figure) and a second conveying mechanism (not shown in the figure).

[0051] When the carriers 200 are buffered, the lifting mechanism 14 drives the frame 11 to move along the first direction X to the first position. At this time, the first conveying belt assembly 121 in the first conveying mechanism is in transmission connection with the first driving assembly 131, and the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the first conveying mechanism is in transmission connection with the second driving assembly 132.

[0052] The first driving assembly 131 drives the first conveying belt assembly 121 in the first conveying mechanism to rotate, and the second driving assembly 132 drives the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the first conveying mechanism to rotate. The first conveying belt assembly 121 in the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the first conveying mechanism jointly convey the carrier 200 along the second direction Y, until the carrier 200 is completely accommodated in the storage space 111.

[0053] After the carrier 200 is stored to the first conveying mechanism, the lifting mechanism 14 drives the frame 11 to move to the second position along the first direction X. At this time, the first conveying belt assembly 121 in the second conveying mechanism is in transmission connection with the first driving assembly 131, and the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the second conveying mechanism is in transmission connection with the second driving assembly 132.

[0054] The first driving assembly 131 drives the first conveying belt assembly 121 in the second conveying mechanism to rotate, and the second driving assembly 132 drives the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the second conveying mechanism to rotate. The first conveying belt assembly 121 in the second conveying mechanism and the second conveying belt assembly 122 in the second conveying mechanism jointly convey the carrier 200 along the second direction Y until the carrier 200 is completely accommodated in the storage space 111.

[0055] Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 14 and the driving mechanism 13, on the one hand, the automatic storage of the storage device 10 can be realized, and the automation degree of the storage device 10 is improved. On the other hand, the technician only needs to set two driving assemblies (specifically, the first driving assembly 131 and the second driving assembly 132), and the work of multiple conveying mechanisms 12 can be realized, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0056] In other embodiments, one driving assembly can also be used to drive the first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 to rotate at the same time, so as to reduce the number of driving assemblies and reduce the production cost.

[0057] The first conveying belt assembly 121 and the second conveying belt assembly 122 in each conveying mechanism 12 can also be separately configured with a driving assembly, so as to enable each conveying mechanism 12 to be independently controlled and operated. The present application does not limit this, and the person skilled in the art can also select according to the actual situation.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the first conveying belt assembly 121 includes a first conveying belt 1211 and two first pulleys 1212. The two first pulleys 1212 are rotatably installed on the frame 11 and are arranged and spaced apart along the second direction Y. The first conveying belt 1211 is wound around the two first pulleys 1212, and one of the two first pulleys 1212 is configured to be connected with the first driving assembly 131.

[0059] The second conveying belt assembly 122 includes a second conveying belt 1221 and two second pulleys 1222. The two second pulleys 1222 are rotatably installed on the frame 11 and are arranged and spaced apart along the second direction Y. The second conveying belt 1221 is wound around the two second pulleys 1222, and one of the two second pulleys 1222 is configured to be connected with the second driving assembly 132.

[0060] It can be understood that the first driving assembly 131 drives the first belt pulley 1212 to rotate, and drives the first conveying belt 1211 to move. The second driving assembly 132 drives the second belt pulley 1222 to rotate, and drives the second conveying belt 1221 to move. The first conveying belt 1211 and the second conveying belt 1221 jointly drive the carrier 200 to move in the second direction Y into the storage space 111. By adopting the conveying belt and the belt pulley transmission mode, the transmission precision is high, and the conveying effect is stable.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 The first belt pulley 1212 is provided with a first tooth portion 12121, and the first driving assembly 131 is provided with a second tooth portion 1311. When the first driving assembly 131 drives the first conveying belt assembly 121 to rotate, the first tooth portion 12121 is engaged with the second tooth portion 1311.

[0062] The second belt pulley 1222 is provided with a third tooth portion 12221, and the second driving assembly 132 is provided with a fourth tooth portion 1321. When the second driving assembly 132 drives the second conveying belt assembly 122 to rotate, the third tooth portion 12221 is engaged with the fourth tooth portion 1321.

[0063] By adopting the gear engagement mode, it is beneficial to ensure the transmission precision between the first driving assembly 131 and the first belt pulley 1212, and the transmission precision between the second driving assembly 132 and the second belt pulley 1222, while making the structure of the storage device 10 more compact.

[0064] In other embodiments, other transmission modes such as a shaft coupling or a belt transmission can also be adopted, and the application does not limit this. Those skilled in the art can select according to the actual situation.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The storage device 10 further comprises a clutch mechanism 15, and the clutch mechanism 15 comprises a first clutch assembly 151 and a second clutch assembly 152. The first clutch assembly 151 is installed on the frame 11 and connected with the first driving assembly 131. The first clutch assembly 151 is configured to drive the first driving assembly 131 to move, so that the first driving assembly 131 is in transmission connection or separation with the first belt pulley 1212.

[0066] The second clutch assembly 152 is installed on the frame 11 and connected with the second driving assembly 132. The second clutch assembly 152 is configured to drive the second driving assembly 132 to move, so that the second driving assembly 132 is in transmission connection or separation with the second belt pulley 1222.

[0067] It can be understood that when the storage device 10 is working, the first clutch assembly 151 can drive the first driving assembly 131 to move close to the first pulley 1212 until the first tooth part 12121 and the second tooth part 1311 are engaged. The second clutch assembly 152 can drive the second driving assembly 132 to move close to the second pulley 1222 until the third tooth part 12221 and the fourth tooth part 1321 are engaged.

[0068] When the storage device 10 is not working, the first clutch assembly 151 can drive the first driving assembly 131 to move away from the first pulley 1212 until the first tooth part 12121 and the second tooth part 1311 are disengaged, so as to realize the disconnection between the first driving assembly 131 and the first pulley 1212. The second clutch assembly 152 can drive the second driving assembly 132 to move away from the second pulley 1222 until the third tooth part 12221 and the fourth tooth part 1321 are disengaged.

[0069] By setting the first clutch assembly 151 and the second clutch assembly 152, it is helpful to reduce the load load between the first driving assembly 131 and the first pulley 1212 and the load load between the second driving assembly 132 and the second pulley 1222 during the idle period of the storage device 10, and prolong the service life of the storage device 10.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The first clutch assembly 151 includes a first support frame 1511 and a first telescopic cylinder 1512, the first telescopic cylinder 1512 is installed on the frame 11, the first support frame 1511 is slidingly installed on the frame 11 and connected with the first telescopic cylinder 1512, and the first driving assembly 131 is installed on the first support frame 1511.

[0071] The second clutch assembly 152 includes a second support frame 1521 and a second telescopic cylinder 1522, the second telescopic cylinder 1522 is installed on the frame 11, the second support frame 1521 is slidingly installed on the frame 11 and connected with the second telescopic cylinder 1522, and the second driving assembly 132 is installed on the second support frame 1521.

[0072] It can be understood that when the storage device 10 is working, the first telescopic cylinder 1512 drives the first driving assembly 131 to move close to the first pulley 1212 until the first tooth part 12121 and the second tooth part 1311 are engaged. The second telescopic cylinder 1522 drives the second driving assembly 132 to move close to the second pulley 1222 until the third tooth part 12221 and the fourth tooth part 1321 are engaged.

[0073] When the storage device 10 is not working, the first telescopic cylinder 1512 drives the first driving assembly 131 to move away from the first pulley 1212 until the first tooth part 12121 and the second tooth part 1311 are disengaged, so as to realize the disconnection between the first driving assembly 131 and the first pulley 1212. The second clutch assembly 152 can drive the second driving assembly 132 to move away from the second pulley 1222 until the third tooth part 12221 and the fourth tooth part 1321 are disengaged.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown inFigure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first conveyor belt assembly 121 also includes a first support member 1213, which is mounted between two adjacent first pulleys 1212. The first support member 1213 is configured to support the carrier 200 and a portion of the first conveyor belt 1211 when the carrier 200 moves to the storage space 111.

[0075] The second conveyor belt assembly 122 also includes a second support 1223, which is mounted between two adjacent second pulleys 1222. The second support 1223 is configured to support the carrier 200 and a portion of the second conveyor belt 1221 when the carrier 200 moves to the storage space 111.
