[0025] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of this utility model.
[0026] Those skilled in the art should understand that the accompanying drawings are merely schematic diagrams of embodiments, and the components in the drawings are not necessarily essential for implementing this utility model.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] In this embodiment 1, a corner cargo transport device for an assembly line is provided, comprising:
[0029] The first belt conveyor 1 includes a first belt and a second belt arranged in parallel, with a gap area formed between the first belt and the second belt.
[0030] The second belt conveyor 2 is set at a predetermined angle to the first belt conveyor 1; the second belt conveyor 2 has a front end and a rear end along the conveying direction, and the front end of the second belt conveyor 2 is connected to the side of the first belt conveyor 1.
[0031] The third belt conveyor 3 is located in the vacant area of the first belt conveyor 1;
[0032] The reciprocating motion mechanism 4 is connected to the third belt conveyor 3 so that the third belt conveyor 3 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the first belt conveyor 1 and / or the second belt conveyor 2 and / or the third belt conveyor 3.
[0033] In this invention, the first belt conveyor 1 includes a first belt and a second belt arranged in parallel. This invention utilizes this belt structure to place the third belt conveyor 3 between the first belt and the second belt of the first belt conveyor 1, thereby allowing the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 to be as close as possible, reducing the probability of goods derailing. Thus, through its unique structural design, this invention achieves efficient and stable transportation of goods between conveyors in different directions, improving transportation efficiency.
[0034] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 have a characteristic geometric relationship. To illustrate this geometric relationship, this embodiment names the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1 as the first conveying direction and the conveying direction of the second belt conveyor 2 as the second conveying direction. In this embodiment, the first conveying direction is perpendicular to the second conveying direction. Both the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 are mounted on an installation plane, thus the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 are perpendicularly arranged. In other embodiments, the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 can also form other angles, such as 30 degrees, 60 degrees, or 120 degrees. It is understood that the angle between the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 also determines the angle of the third belt conveyor 3. When the third belt conveyor 3 is raised to be flush with the second belt conveyor 2, its conveying direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the second belt conveyor 2. It is also understood that the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 in this embodiment can be belt conveyors of the same model. In other embodiments, the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 can be belt conveyors of different models.
[0035] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the first belt conveyor 1 is a double-track belt conveyor, and the second belt conveyor 2 is a double-row synchronous belt conveyor. In other embodiments, the second belt conveyor 2 is a single-row belt conveyor. Those skilled in the art will understand that double-row synchronous belt conveyors are a common type of belt conveyor, with various models available, such as the MISUMI CV series conveyor, while single-row belt conveyors are ordinary belt conveyors, such as the national standard DTII belt conveyor.
[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 are arranged perpendicularly, the rear end of the second belt conveyor 2 is close to the side of the first belt conveyor 1, and the upper surface of the belt of the first belt conveyor 1 and the upper surface of the belt of the second belt conveyor 2 are located on the same plane. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the belt of the first belt conveyor 1 is defined as the working surface of the first belt conveyor 1, and the upper surface of the belt of the second belt conveyor 2 is defined as the working surface of the second belt conveyor 2. Therefore, the working surfaces of the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 are flush. When the goods on the first belt conveyor 1 move from the front end to the rear end of the first belt conveyor 1, they cannot directly reach the second belt conveyor. By setting a third conveyor, the direction of goods transportation can be changed while maintaining the movement of goods.
[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first belt conveyor 1 has a front end and a rear end along the conveying direction. The empty area between the first belt and the second belt includes a first empty area and a second empty area. The first empty area is near the front end of the first belt conveyor 1, and the second empty area is near the rear end of the first belt conveyor 1. A third belt conveyor 3 is disposed in the second empty area to prevent obstruction of cargo transportation. To further prevent obstruction of cargo transportation, the length of the third belt conveyor 3 is less than that of the first belt conveyor 1.
[0038] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the reciprocating motion mechanism 4 is a cylinder, which includes a cylinder body 41 and a piston 42. The cylinder body 41 is independently set, that is, the cylinder body 41 is fixed to the ground or mounting plane by a cylinder body bracket 43. The third belt conveyor 3 also includes a bracket and a belt connecting bracket for the third belt conveyor 3, which is a common technology in the art and will not be described in detail here. The piston 42, as the power output end of the cylinder, is connected to the bracket of the third belt conveyor 3, so that the piston 42 can drive the third belt conveyor 3 to move upward or downward. It is understood that the cylinder needs to be connected to an air pump or other air source. In other embodiments, the reciprocating motion mechanism 4 can also be a hydraulic cylinder. It is also understood that the belt speed of the third belt conveyor 3 is synchronized with that of the second belt conveyor 2 to ensure smooth transition of goods. The cylinder stroke design needs to ensure that after the third belt conveyor 3 is raised or lowered, its working surface is aligned with the working surface of the second belt conveyor 2 to avoid goods from deviating.
[0039] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the cylinder is connected to a control device, which can be a microcontroller or a PLC. The control device outputs a control signal to cause the cylinder to reciprocate periodically, so that when the goods are arranged at equal intervals, the third belt conveyor 3 can accurately eject each item. In other embodiments, the control device can also be connected to a detection device, such as a camera or an infrared sensor. When the camera or infrared sensor detects a item, the control device sends a signal to the cylinder, and the piston 42 reciprocates once. It is understood that the control methods in this embodiment are all existing control methods, and those skilled in the art can fully implement the above control methods based on existing technology.
[0040] Although the specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that, based on the technical solutions disclosed in the present utility model, all modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
