Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular relates to feeding devices and vehicle instrument production lines. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle instrument panels are display tools used on motorcycles to help drivers understand driving conditions. With the rapid development of motorcycle electronics technology, motorcycle instrument panels have become more powerful, with larger screen sizes and richer display content. At the same time, the assembly and production of motorcycle instrument panels has also placed demands on high production efficiency and stability. In the assembly and production process of motorcycle instrument panels, a feeding device is generally used to load parts onto a tray so that a robotic arm can pick up the parts and proceed to subsequent assembly, testing, and other processes.

[0003] Currently, the loading and unloading of material trays is usually done manually, which makes it difficult to guarantee the stability of the loading and unloading process and is inefficient. Furthermore, existing loading and unloading processes all rely on multiple single-function mechanisms arranged sequentially along a long, narrow production line to perform a series of operations such as loading, transferring, and unloading of material trays. This results in a large number of mechanisms, making installation and maintenance difficult, occupying a significant amount of space, hindering the optimal layout of the production line, and resulting in low automation and integration, making it difficult to effectively improve the efficiency of material tray loading and unloading. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a feeding device and a vehicle instrument production line, aiming to solve the problems of how to reduce the volume occupied by the feeding device and how to improve the feeding efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, a feeding device is provided for conveying materials to a material receiving station for unloading. The feeding device includes a first conveyor line, a lifting mechanism, a material transfer mechanism, and a second conveyor line. The first conveyor line is used to convey a tray carrying the materials. The first conveyor line has a loading station and a lifting station arranged sequentially along its conveying direction. The material receiving station is located above the lifting station, and the lifting mechanism is slidably disposed between the lifting station and the material receiving station. The first conveyor line receives the tray at the loading station and conveys the tray to the lifting station. The lifting mechanism receives the tray conveyed by the first conveyor line at the lifting station and lifts the tray to the material receiving station. The material transfer mechanism is disposed at the material receiving station and is used to receive the tray at the lifting mechanism and transfer the tray, which is now empty after unloading, to the second conveyor line. The second conveyor line is used to unload the materials from the tray.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first conveyor line includes two transfer lines spaced apart, the transfer lines being used to carry the material tray, the lifting mechanism including a lifting driver and a pallet connected to the lifting driver, the pallet being slidably disposed between the two transfer lines, and the lifting driver being used to drive the pallet to rise and fall in a preset direction to lift the material tray away from the first conveyor line and move the material tray to the picking station.

[0008] In some embodiments, the material transfer mechanism includes a clamping structure and a movable structure connected to the clamping structure. The movable structure is slidably disposed between the material picking station and the second conveyor line. The clamping structure is used to clamp the material tray at the pallet, and the movable structure is used to drive the clamping structure to reciprocate between the second conveyor line and the material picking station.

[0009] In some embodiments, the clamping structure includes clamping members that are slidably disposed in a horizontal direction and a clamping driver for driving the clamping members to slide. Two clamping members are disposed at intervals, and the clamping driver is used to drive the two clamping members to move toward each other or away from each other.

[0010] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a lifting mechanism that is slidably disposed in a vertical direction. The lifting mechanism is adjacent to the second conveyor line and is used to lift the tray away from the conveying surface of the second conveyor line and drive the tray to move up and down in a vertical direction above the second conveyor line.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a support block that slides vertically and a first driving member connected to the support block. The first driving member is used to drive the support block to rise and fall. The support block is used to lift the material tray. There are two support blocks and two first driving members. The two support blocks are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second conveyor line along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor line. Each support block corresponds to each first driving member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism further includes a mounting base slidably disposed in a vertical direction and a second driving member mounted on the mounting base and connected to the support block. The mounting base is connected to the output end of the first driving member. The first driving member is used to drive the mounting base to rise and fall, and the second driving member is used to drive the support block to slide in the first direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, multiple lifting mechanisms are spaced apart, and each lifting mechanism is spaced apart along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line.

[0014] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a frame with a feeding channel, wherein the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line are both passed through the feeding channel, and the unloading end of the second conveyor line is disposed on the same side of the frame opposite to the loading station.

[0015] Secondly, a vehicle instrument production line is provided, including the aforementioned feeding device.

[0016] The feeding device provided in this application includes a first conveyor line that transports a material tray from the loading station to the lifting station. The lifting mechanism then transports the tray from the lifting station to the unloading station, where the material is unloaded, leaving the tray empty. The unloading mechanism then transfers the tray from the lifting mechanism to a second conveyor line, which unloads the tray, thus completing the loading and unloading operations. By arranging the first conveyor line, lifting mechanism, material transfer mechanism, and second conveyor line in both horizontal and vertical spaces, the integration is improved, resulting in a compact installation of the feeding device, reduced volume, shorter tray movement, and increased feeding efficiency.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a feeding device for conveying materials to a material handling station 500 for unloading. The feeding device includes a first conveyor line 10, a lifting mechanism 30, a material transfer mechanism 40, and a second conveyor line 20. The first conveyor line 10 is used to convey a material tray 200 carrying materials. The first conveyor line 10 has a loading station 300 and a lifting station 400 arranged sequentially along its conveying direction. The material handling station 500 is located above the lifting station 400, and the lifting mechanism 30 is slidably disposed between the lifting station 400 and the material handling station 500. The first conveyor line 10 receives the material tray 200 at the loading station 300 and conveys the material tray 200 to the lifting station 400. The lifting mechanism 30 receives the material tray 200 conveyed by the first conveyor line 10 at the lifting station 400 and lifts the material tray 200 to the picking station 500. The material transfer mechanism 40 is set at the picking station 500 and is used to receive the material tray 200 at the lifting mechanism 30 and transfer the material tray 200, which is in an empty state after unloading, to the second conveyor line 20. The second conveyor line 20 is used to unload the material tray 200.

[0030] It should be noted that the materials provided in this application embodiment are components for assembling motorcycle instruments. Specifically, they may be the outer shell of a motorcycle instrument panel, which is a display tool used on a motorcycle to help the driver understand the driving conditions.

[0031] Understandably, both the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 can drive materials forward. Optionally, the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 can be belt conveyor structures. Optionally, both the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 are arranged horizontally, which can make the structure of the feeding device more compact, and the layout more regular, improving aesthetics.

[0032] Understandably, the loading station 300 is used to load materials. The loading station 300 can be connected to a transfer trolley or a robotic arm, or it can be manually loaded. The loading station 300 loads materials to the first conveyor line 10. One end of the second conveyor line 20 is connected to the unloading station 500 and receives empty material trays 200, while the other end can unload materials from the material trays 200.

[0033] The feeding device provided in this application includes a first conveyor line 10 that transports a material tray 200 from a loading station 300 to a lifting station 400. A lifting mechanism 30 then transports the material tray 200 from the lifting station 400 to a unloading station 500. At the unloading station 500, the material in the material tray 200 is unloaded, leaving the tray 200 unloaded. The unloading mechanism then transfers the material tray 200 from the lifting mechanism 30 to a second conveyor line 20, which unloads the material from the tray 200, thus completing the loading and unloading operations of the material tray 200. By arranging the first conveyor line 10, the lifting mechanism 30, the material transfer mechanism 40, and the second conveyor line 20 in both horizontal and vertical spaces, the integration is improved, resulting in a compact installation of the feeding device, reduced volume, shorter movement distance of the material tray 200, and improved feeding efficiency.

[0034] Understandably, this application also includes a control system (not shown in the figure). The first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, the lifting mechanism 30, and the material transfer mechanism 40 are all communicatively connected to the control system. The control system can control the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, the lifting mechanism 30, and the material transfer mechanism 40 to automatically coordinate and operate, thereby further improving the feeding efficiency.

[0035] Understandably, the first conveyor line 10 can feed materials forward intermittently. When the material tray 200 is fed to the first conveyor line 10 at the loading station 300, the material trays 200 can be loaded to the first conveyor line 10 one by one, so that multiple material trays 200 are stacked. When enough material trays 200 are stacked, the stacked material trays 200 are conveyed forward. At this time, the loading station is empty, so the material trays 200 can continue to be stacked, and so on.

[0036] Similarly, at the lifting station 400, the trays 200 can be stacked first. After enough trays 200 are stacked, the lifting mechanism 30 lifts the trays 200 to the picking station 500. Understandably, the lifting mechanism 30 also lifts intermittently; that is, it first lifts the top tray 200 of the stacked trays to the transfer mechanism 40 for receipt. After the transfer mechanism 40 removes it, the lifting mechanism 30 lifts the next tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 40, and so on, gradually transferring a stack of trays 200 to the transfer mechanism 40. This reduces the travel distance of the lifting mechanism 30 and further improves feeding efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first conveyor line 10 includes two spaced-apart transfer lines 11, each carrying a tray 200. The lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting driver 31 and a support plate 32 connected to the lifting driver 31. The support plate 32 is slidably disposed between the two transfer lines 11. The lifting driver 31 drives the support plate 32 to move up and down in a preset direction, thereby lifting the tray 200 away from the first conveyor line 10 and moving the tray 200 to the unloading station 500. Understandably, a lifting channel for the support plate 32 is formed between the two transfer lines 11. Lifting the tray 200 by the support plate 32 improves the stability of the tray 200.

[0038] Optionally, the lifting structure can be a lead screw and nut structure. The lead screw of the lead screw and nut structure is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder. The lead screw of the lead screw and nut structure extends in the vertical direction. The nut seat of the lead screw and nut structure is connected to the support plate 32. The lifting cylinder drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby converting the rotational motion of the lead screw into the linear movement of the nut seat, driving the support plate 32 to move in the vertical direction.

[0039] In some embodiments, the material transfer mechanism 40 includes a clamping structure 41 and a movable structure (not shown) connected to the clamping structure 41. The movable structure is slidably disposed between the picking station 500 and the second conveyor line 20. The clamping structure 41 is used to clamp the tray 200 at the pallet 32, and the movable structure is used to drive the clamping structure 41 to reciprocate between the second conveyor line 20 and the picking station 500. Optionally, the movable structure may be a slider disposed on a slide rail or an electric slide table. The slide rail or electric slide table is disposed between the picking station 500 and the second conveyor line 20 and respectively docks with the picking station 500 and the second conveyor line 20, thereby enabling the movable structure to drive the clamping structure 41 to move between the picking station 500 and the second conveyor line 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, the clamping structure 41 includes a clamping member 411 that is slidably disposed in the horizontal direction and a clamping driver 412 for driving the clamping member 411 to slide. Two clamping members 411 are disposed at intervals. The clamping driver 412 is used to drive the two clamping members 411 to move towards each other or away from each other, so that the clamping member 411 can clamp or release the material tray 200. The structure is simple and can improve clamping efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments, the clamping member 411 includes an abutment block and a support block connected to each other. When the two clamping members 411 move toward each other, the abutment block abuts against the side wall of the tray 200, while the support block can move to the bottom of the tray 200 and support the bottom wall of the tray 200, preventing the tray 200 from falling downwards under the action of gravity, thereby further improving the stability of the clamping.

[0042] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a lifting mechanism 50 that is slidably disposed in the vertical direction. The lifting mechanism 50 is adjacent to the second conveyor line 20 and is used to lift the material tray 200 away from the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 20 and drive the material tray 200 to move up and down in the vertical direction above the second conveyor line 20.

[0043] Understandably, when the second conveyor line 20 conveys any tray 200 to the position of the lifting mechanism 50, the lifting mechanism 50 lifts the tray 200 away from the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 20 and drives the tray 200 to move upward. It can drive the tray 200 to move upward a preset distance, which is greater than the thickness of the tray 200. Therefore, at this time, the space between the tray 200 lifted by the lifting mechanism 50 and the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 20 is sufficient for the next tray 200 to be conveyed into place. At this time, the second conveyor line 20 continues to convey the next tray 200 and conveys the next tray 200 to the space between the tray 200 lifted by the lifting mechanism 50 and the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 20, thereby stacking the first tray 200 on top of the second tray 200. And so on. When enough trays 200 are stacked, the stacked trays 200 are conveyed forward, which facilitates the subsequent unloading of the entire stack of trays 200, further improving the efficiency and convenience of unloading.

[0044] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 50 includes a support block 51 slidably disposed in a vertical direction and a first driving member 52 connected to the support block 51. The first driving member 52 is used to drive the support block 51 to rise and fall. The support block 51 is used to lift the material tray 200. Two support blocks 51 and two first driving members 52 are provided. The two support blocks 51 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second conveyor line 20 along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 20. Each support block 51 corresponds one-to-one with each first driving member 52. By setting two support blocks 51 respectively on opposite sides of the second conveyor line 20 along the first direction, both sides of the material tray 200 can be lifted simultaneously, thereby improving the stability of the material tray 200 and preventing the material tray 200 from falling.

[0045] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 50 further includes a mounting base 54 slidably disposed in a vertical direction and a second driving member 53 mounted on the mounting base 54 and connected to the support block 51. The mounting base 54 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 52. The first driving member 52 is used to drive the mounting base 54 to rise and fall, and the second driving member 53 is used to drive the support block 51 to slide in a first direction. Understandably, when the material tray 200 has not yet been lifted, the support block 51 can retract, so as not to interfere with the forward conveying of the material tray 200. When the material tray 200 is conveyed to the position, the second driving member 53 drives the support block 51 to extend forward and move below the material tray 200, and begins to perform the lifting action.

[0046] In some embodiments, the support block 51 has a structure similar to the clamping block described above. That is, the support block 51 includes an abutment block and a support block connected to each other. When the two support blocks 51 move toward each other, the abutment block abuts against the side wall of the material tray 200, while the support block can move to the bottom of the material tray 200 and support the bottom wall of the material tray 200, preventing the material tray 200 from falling downward under the action of gravity, thereby further improving the stability of the support.

[0047] In some embodiments, multiple lifting mechanisms 50 are spaced apart, and each lifting mechanism 50 is spaced apart along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 20. That is, the material trays 200 can be stacked at multiple positions along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 20, thereby forming multiple stacks of material trays 200 along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 20, further enhancing the convenience and efficiency of material unloading.

[0048] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a frame 60 with a feeding channel. The first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 are both passed through the feeding channel. The unloading end of the second conveyor line 20 is located on the same side of the frame 60 as the loading station 300. That is, the loading and unloading of the material tray 200 are both carried out on the same side of the frame 60, which makes it convenient for operators to simultaneously check the loading status of the first conveyor line 10 and the unloading status of the second conveyor line 20, improving the convenience of loading and unloading. Moreover, it eliminates the need for multiple operators to perform loading and unloading in different positions, which helps to save labor costs.

[0049] This utility model also proposes a vehicle instrument production line, which includes a feeding device. The specific structure of the feeding device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle instrument production line adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In summary, the feeding device provided in this application involves a first conveyor line 10 transporting a material tray 200 from a loading station 300 to a lifting station 400. A lifting mechanism 30 then transports the material tray 200 from the lifting station 400 to a unloading station 500. At the unloading station 500, the material in the material tray 200 is unloaded, leaving the tray 200 unloaded. The unloading mechanism then transfers the material tray 200 from the lifting mechanism 30 to a second conveyor line 20, which unloads the material from the tray 200, thus completing the loading and unloading operations of the material tray 200. By arranging the first conveyor line 10, the lifting mechanism 30, the material transfer mechanism 40, and the second conveyor line 20 in both horizontal and vertical spaces, the integration is improved, resulting in a compact installation of the feeding device, reduced volume, shorter movement distance of the material tray 200, and improved feeding efficiency.

[0051] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
