Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying production line technology, and in particular to a carrier and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing of infusion sets, the infusion tubing needs to be placed on a carrier in the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism drives the infusion tubing to move, so that the infusion tubing passes through the assembly equipment in sequence. The assembly equipment fixes the connectors to both ends of the infusion tubing.

[0003] Currently, infusion tubing is transported by suspension on a carrier. Specifically, the carrier fixes both ends of the infusion tubing to both sides along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, with the remaining portion of the tubing hanging between the fixed ends. Assembly equipment then attaches connectors to both ends of the tubing on both sides of the conveying mechanism. After assembly, the tubing is rolled up and packaged. However, this method results in the infusion tubing occupying a significant amount of space on the conveying mechanism, affecting the overall compactness of the conveying production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a carrier and conveying device that can effectively reduce the space occupied by products during transportation and make the structure of the entire conveying production line more compact.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a carrier, including a support base and a mounting component, wherein the mounting component is connected to one side of the support base and forms a receiving cavity therebetween with the support base, and the mounting component has a first mounting structure and a second mounting structure.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the carrier provided by this utility model can stably store the wound product in the receiving cavity, and can stably limit the first end and the second end of the product to the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure on one side of the carrier, effectively reducing the space occupied by the product during transportation and making the structure of the entire conveying production line more compact.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the support base includes a base plate and a side guard assembly, the side guard assembly being connected to the base plate, the side guard assembly, the base plate, and the mounting member forming the receiving cavity, and the mounting member being connected to one side of the base plate.

[0009] In the above embodiments, the cooperation between the edge guard assembly and the mounting component can prevent the winding portion from expanding outwards as it tends to straighten, thus stably confining the winding portion on the base plate and preventing it from falling off the base plate.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the flange assembly includes at least one of a first flange, a second flange, and a third flange;

[0011] The first retaining edge is connected to the base plate and has a first limiting surface;

[0012] The second stop is connected to the base plate and has a second limiting surface, which is perpendicular to the first limiting surface;

[0013] The third stop is connected to the base plate and has a third limiting surface, which is perpendicular to the first limiting surface and parallel to the second limiting surface.

[0014] The above-described embodiments can limit the position of the winding portion from one or more directions, thereby ensuring that the winding portion can be stably placed on the base plate.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, when the edge-blocking assembly includes the first edge-blocking, the first edge-blocking and the mounting member are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base plate.

[0016] In the above embodiments, with the first retaining edge and the mounting component jointly limiting the product, the front and rear ends of the product will not fall off the aforementioned side of the base plate.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, when the flange assembly includes the second flange and the third flange, the second flange and the third flange are located between the mounting member and the first flange.

[0018] In the above embodiments, the second and third guard edges can limit the position of the product on the side, and together with the first guard edge and the mounting component, the product can be stably confined within the mounting cavity.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the position of the first stop edge relative to the base plate is adjustable along a direction perpendicular to the first limiting surface;

[0020] And / or, the position of the second stop edge relative to the base plate is adjustable along a direction perpendicular to the second limiting surface, and the position of the third stop edge relative to the base plate is adjustable along a direction perpendicular to the third limiting surface.

[0021] The above-described embodiments enable the carrier to accommodate winding sections of different volumes, thereby adapting to products of more sizes and improving applicability.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, at least one of the first, second, and third stop edges forms an opening in the receiving cavity at its top end, and the top end of the first, second, and third stop edges that forms the opening extends obliquely away from the receiving cavity.

[0023] The above-described embodiments can increase the size of the opening to a certain extent. When personnel or robotic arms place the winding part in the receiving cavity, it not only makes it easier for personnel to align the opening, but also serves as a guide, facilitating personnel operation or reducing the operating precision of robotic arms.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the support base further includes a fixing member connected to the base plate and protruding from the top surface of the base plate, the fixing member having a clamping portion.

[0025] When using the carrier, if it is necessary to connect the connector to the first and second ends of the product, the stability of the carrier must be ensured. At this time, the clamped part can be used to ensure that the carrier will not shake during operation, effectively improving the product qualification rate.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the first mounting structure includes a first groove recessed on the mounting member, and the second mounting structure includes a second groove recessed on the mounting member.

[0027] The above-described implementation method facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first and second ends.

[0028] Secondly, the present invention provides a conveying device, including a transmission mechanism and a carrier as described in any of the foregoing embodiments, wherein the carrier is mounted on the transmission mechanism.

[0029] The conveying device provided in the second aspect of this utility model has the carrier provided in the first aspect of this utility model, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the carrier provided in the first aspect of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0040] The first aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a support base 1 and a mounting member 2. The mounting member 2 is connected to one side of the support base 1 and forms a receiving cavity with the support base 1. The mounting member 2 has a first mounting structure 21 and a second mounting structure 22.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, when the carrier provided in the first aspect embodiment of this utility model is in use, the winding part 31 of the product 3 after winding can be placed in the receiving cavity formed between the support base 1 and the mounting part 2, which gets rid of the traditional suspension method, the product occupies less space, and is conducive to improving the compactness of the conveying production line.

[0042] In addition, the first end 32 and the second end 33 extending from the winding part 31 are respectively restricted at the first mounting structure 21 and the second mounting structure 22 of the mounting member 2. On the one hand, this can ensure the stability of the two ends, thereby ensuring that the two ends can be smoothly assembled with joints and other structures at the next station. On the other hand, since the first end 32 and the second end 33 are both restricted on the mounting member 2, the equipment at the next station can operate on the two ends on the same side of the carrier, which is more conducive to improving the compactness of the conveyor production line.

[0043] The aforementioned products can be various coiled strip products, such as infusion tubes, ropes, or corrugated tubes. After the coiled product is coiled, the coiled part 31 is placed in the receiving cavity, and both ends are limited by the mounting parts 2, so that the coiled product can be stably placed on the carrier.

[0044] The structure of support base 1 is described in detail below:

[0045] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 may include a base plate 11 and a side plate assembly. The side plate assembly is connected to the base plate 11. A receiving cavity is formed between the side plate assembly, the base plate 11 and the mounting member 2. The mounting member 2 is connected to one side of the base plate 11.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the base plate 11 can serve to support the winding part 31. The edge-blocking assembly and the mounting part 2 cooperate to prevent the winding part 31 from expanding outwards as it tends to straighten, thus stably restricting the winding part 31 on the base plate 11 and preventing the winding part 31 from falling off the base plate 11.

[0047] There are many possible structural types for the aforementioned edge guard assembly. For example, the edge guard assembly can be a single edge extending along the edge of the base plate 11, or it can include multiple edges. Each edge can be positioned on a different side of the base plate 11 to limit the winding portion 31 in different directions.

[0048] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 3As shown, the edge-stopping assembly includes at least one of a first edge-stopping edge 12, a second edge-stopping edge 13, and a third edge-stopping edge 14. The three edges-stopping edges are described in detail below:

[0049] The first guard 12 is connected to the base plate 11 and has a first limiting surface 121. The first limiting surface 121 can limit the position of the winding part 31 relative to the base plate 11 in a direction perpendicular to its own plane.

[0050] The second stop 13 is connected to the base plate 11 and has a second limiting surface 131. The second limiting surface 131 is perpendicular to the first limiting surface 121. Similarly, the second limiting surface 131 can limit the position of the winding part 31 relative to the base plate 11 in a direction perpendicular to its own plane.

[0051] The third stop 14 is connected to the base plate 11 and has a third limiting surface 141. The third limiting surface 141 is perpendicular to the first limiting surface 121 and parallel to the second limiting surface 131. Therefore, the direction defined by the third limiting surface 141 is parallel to the direction defined by the second limiting surface 131.

[0052] When the edge-blocking assembly includes a first edge 12 and a second edge 13, or when the edge-blocking assembly includes a first edge 12 and a third edge 14, the edge-blocking assembly can limit the winding portion 31 from two mutually perpendicular directions. Compared to limiting the winding portion 31 from only one direction, this can prevent the winding portion 31 from expanding in a direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned direction, thus preventing the winding portion 31 from falling off the base plate 11.

[0053] When the base plate 11 is long in a certain direction, the base plate 11 can be provided with second baffles 13 and third baffles 14 at intervals along the aforementioned direction. The second baffles 13 and third baffles 14 can limit the winding portion 31 at different positions in the aforementioned direction, preventing the winding portion 31 from falling off the side of the single baffle due to the narrowness of a single second baffle 13 or third baffle 14. Another advantage of providing second baffles 13 and third baffles 14 is that... Figure 1 For example, one of them can block the middle and rear part of the winding part 31 away from the mounting part 2, and the other can block the part of the product 3 close to the mounting part 2, especially the product end connected to the first end 32 and the second end 33, to ensure the stability of the first end 32 and the second end 33 relative to the mounting part 2.

[0054] Of course, when the dimensions of the second stop 13 and the third stop 14 in the above-mentioned directions are large, only one of them may be provided.

[0055] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the edge-stop assembly includes the first edge-stop 12, the first edge-stop 12 and the mounting member 2 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base plate 11.

[0056] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, with the first retaining edge 12 and the mounting piece 2 jointly limiting the product, the front and rear ends of the product will not fall off the aforementioned side of the base plate 11.

[0057] Specifically, the first retaining edge 12 can be configured as one, or as two, three, or more.

[0058] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the edge assembly includes a second edge 13 and a third edge 14, the second edge 13 and the third edge 14 are located between the mounting member 2 and the first edge 12 to define the position of the product 3 on the side.

[0059] Specifically, the second stop 13 and the third stop 14 can each be configured as one, or as two, three, or more.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, there are two second stop edges 13 and two third stop edges 14. The two second stop edges 13 are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the second limiting surface 131, and the two third stop edges 14 are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the third limiting surface 141. The two second stop edges 13 are located close to the first stop edge 12, and the two third stop edges 14 are located close to the mounting member 2.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, at least one of the first stop 12, the second stop 13 and the third stop 14 is adjustable relative to the base plate 11 to adjust the size of the receiving cavity.

[0062] The above configuration allows the carrier to accommodate winding sections 31 of different volumes, thereby adapting to products of more sizes and improving applicability.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, for example, the position of the first stop 12 relative to the base plate 11 in a direction perpendicular to the first limiting surface 121 can be adjusted.

[0064] Specifically, one of the first retaining edge 12 and the base plate 11 has an oblong hole, and the other has a circular threaded hole. The screw can pass through the oblong hole and be locked in the circular threaded hole to lock the position of the first retaining edge 12 relative to the base plate 11. If the position of the first retaining edge 12 needs to be adjusted, the screw can be loosened.

[0065] In other embodiments, the first stop 12 and the base plate 11 can also be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism to make the position of the first stop 12 adjustable. For example, one of the first stop 12 and the base plate 11 is provided with a blind hole, and the blind hole has multiple slots in the direction perpendicular to the first limiting surface 121. The other can be inserted into the blind hole and snapped into any one of the slots.

[0066] Of course, such as Figure 1 As shown, the position of the first guard edge 12 relative to the base plate 11 can also be fixed. The first guard edge 12 is plate-shaped and is directly fixed to the side wall of the base plate 11 by screws.

[0067] For example: Figure 3 As shown, the position of the second stop 13 relative to the base plate 11 is adjustable in the direction perpendicular to the second limiting surface 131, which can also achieve the effect of expanding the cavity space.

[0068] The connection between the second flange 13 and the base plate 11 is similar to the connection between the first flange 12 and the base plate 11 as described above. To save space, they will not be listed in detail here.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the second retaining edge 13 is L-shaped, with a waist-shaped hole at its bottom end, and the base plate 11 has a circular threaded hole. The screw can pass through the waist-shaped hole and be locked in the circular threaded hole to lock the position of the second retaining edge 13 relative to the base plate 11.

[0070] For example: Figure 3 As shown, the position of the third stop 14 relative to the base plate 11 is adjustable in the direction perpendicular to the third limiting surface 141. The structure of the third stop 14 can be the same as that of the second stop 13. To save space, it will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, at least one of the first stop 12, the second stop 13 and the third stop 14 forms an opening in the receiving cavity at its top end, and the top end of the first stop 12, the second stop 13 and the third stop 14 that forms the opening extends obliquely away from the receiving cavity.

[0072] In the above embodiments, since the top of the opening formed in each side extends inclined away from the receiving cavity, the size of the opening can be enlarged to a certain extent. When the personnel or robot arm places the winding part 31 in the receiving cavity, it not only makes it easier for the personnel to align the opening, but also plays a guiding role, which facilitates the operation of the personnel or reduces the operating accuracy of the robot arm.

[0073] Specifically, the edge assembly includes a first edge 12, a second edge 13, and a third edge 14. The first edge 12, the second edge 13, and the third edge 14 together form the opening of the receiving cavity. The tops of the first edge 12, the second edge 13, and the third edge 14 all extend obliquely away from the receiving cavity.

[0074] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support base 1 also includes a fixing member 15 that is connected to the base plate 11 and protrudes from the top surface of the base plate 11. The fixing member 15 has a clamping part 151.

[0075] When the carrier is in use, if it is necessary to connect the connector to the first end 32 and the second end 33 of the product, the stability of the carrier must be ensured. At this time, the clamped part 151 can be clamped to ensure that the carrier will not shake during operation, effectively improving the product qualification rate.

[0076] The structure of mounting component 2 is described in detail below:

[0077] Mounting component 2 can be plate-shaped or block-shaped; that is, the specific shape of mounting component 2 is not limited to one particular form. Figure 3 Taking this as an example, the mounting part 2 is plate-shaped and is installed on the side wall of the base plate 11 in the support seat 1 by screws.

[0078] There are also various optional forms for the first mounting structure 21 and the second mounting structure 22. For example, the first mounting structure 21 and the second mounting structure 22 can use clips to hold the first end 32 and the second end 33, or as... Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting structure 21 includes a first slot recessed on the mounting member 2, and the second mounting structure 22 includes a second slot recessed on the mounting member 2. The first end 32 can be locked in the first slot, and the second end 33 can be locked in the second slot, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first end 32 and the second end 33.

[0079] A second aspect of this utility model provides a conveying device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the conveying device provided in the second aspect of this utility model includes a transmission mechanism 4 and the aforementioned carrier, with the carrier mounted on the transmission mechanism 4.

[0080] The conveying device provided in the second aspect of this utility model has the carrier provided in the first aspect of this utility model, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the carrier provided in the first aspect of this utility model.

[0081] In an optional implementation, the transmission mechanism 4 may be a chain drive mechanism or a belt drive mechanism, etc.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism 4 adopts a belt drive mechanism, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it specifically includes a frame 41, a power source 42, a drive pulley, a belt 43, and a driven pulley. The power source 42 is mounted on the frame 41, and the drive pulley and driven pulley are rotatably connected to the frame 41. The belt 43 is connected between the drive pulley and the driven pulley.

[0083] When in use, the power source 42 drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the drive wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the belt 43. The support seat 1 in the vehicle can be fixed on the belt 43 and move with the belt 43.

[0084] The power source 42 can be a rotary motor, or a combination of a rotary motor and a transmission assembly, which can transmit the power of the motor to the drive wheel. The transmission assembly can be in the form of belt drive, gear drive, or chain drive.

[0085] As the carrier moves along the belt 43, personnel or robotic arms can place the product 3 on the carrier located at the beginning of the belt 43. As the carrier moves downstream, the downstream equipment connects the connector to the first end 32 and the second end 33 of the product 3. Personnel or robotic arms then pick up the product 3, which is now connected to the connector and located on the carrier at the end of the belt 43. The carrier will then move in reverse along the belt until it returns to the beginning of the belt 43.

[0086] The advantage of the above method is that the vehicle can be reused through the belt drive mechanism, saving costs and space.

[0087] Specifically, the support base 1 and the belt can be connected in various ways, such as the support base 1 being connected to the belt by screws, or the support base 1 being snapped into the belt, etc.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, a pull rod is installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 11 of the vehicle, and the shaft can be engaged in the groove on the outer surface of the belt, thereby fixing the vehicle to the belt and facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the vehicle.

[0089] To ensure the stability of the carrier as it moves along the belt, rollers can also be installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The rollers can be mounted on the guide rails of the frame 41, so that the carrier is less likely to shake when carrying product 3.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
