[0045] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] The first aspect of this utility model provides an anti-flying mechanism 10, which is used for line-changing limit of the shuttle module 20, and can effectively improve the stability of shuttle transportation. See below for details. Figures 1 to 6 The anti-flying mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of this application will be introduced. Specifically, the anti-flying mechanism 10 includes a base 100, a movable part 200, and an elastic member 300.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The base 100 includes a first base portion 110 and a second base portion 120, which are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction X. (See reference...) Figure 1 In terms of orientation, the left side of the base 100 is the first base 110, and the right side of the base 100 is the second base 120.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The movable part 200 is used to abut against the transfer module 20 to achieve a limiting position. Specifically, the movable part 200 has a first abutting part 210, which is used to abut against the transfer module 20. The movable part 200 is slidably connected to the first base part 110 along the first direction X, that is, when the transfer module 20 presses against the first abutting part 210, the movable part 200 can slide relative to the base 100 to achieve buffering.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The elastic element 300 is connected to the movable part 200 and the second seat part 120 respectively. The elastic element 300 can drive the movable part 200 to slide relative to the base 100 to a designated position. Specifically, when the first abutment part 210 is pressed, the movable part 200 can slide towards the second seat part 120 along the first direction X, so that the elastic element 300 is compressed to generate elastic force, thereby driving the movable part 200 away from the second seat part 120 in the opposite direction of the first direction X, so that the shuttle module 20 can move to a specific position.

[0051] In the technical solution of this utility model, the anti-flying mechanism 10 includes a base 100, a movable part 200, and an elastic member 300. The base 100 includes a first seat part 110 and a second seat part 120 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction X. The movable part 200 has a first abutting part 210 for abutting against the transfer module 20, and the movable part 200 is slidably connected to the first seat part 110 along the first direction X. The elastic member 300 connects the movable part 200 and the second seat part 120 respectively. In related technologies, during the line changing process, due to some unexpected factors, the moving part may rush out of the transfer module without being aligned, causing the moving part to fly out and resulting in a safety hazard. In this solution, the first contact part 210 of the anti-flying mechanism 10 can abut against the shuttle module 20. After the first contact part 210 is pressed, the movable part 200 can slide along the first direction X toward the second seat part 120, so that the elastic element 300 is compressed, thereby generating an elastic force that can drive the movable part 200 away from the second seat part 120 along the first direction X. That is, the anti-flying mechanism 10 can provide buffer and elastic limit for the shuttle module 20, effectively suppressing the mover 40 from flying up or shifting significantly, and ensuring the stability of the shuttle transport.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The specific sliding configuration of the movable part 200 is described below. In some embodiments, the anti-flying mechanism 10 includes a sliding assembly 400. The sliding assembly 400 includes a first slider 410 and a first slide rail 420. The first slide rail 420 can be connected to the base 100, and the first slider 410 can be connected to the movable part 200. The first slider 410 can slide along the first direction X on the first slide rail 420, that is, it can drive the movable part 200 to slide relative to the base 100. In other embodiments, the sliding assembly 400 includes a second slider and a second slide rail. The second slide rail can be connected to the base 100, and the second slider can be connected to the movable part 200. The second slider can slide along the first direction X on the second slide rail, that is, it can drive the movable part 200 to slide relative to the base 100. The sliding assembly 400 of this solution can drive the movable part 200 to slide relative to the base 100, improving the reliability of the sliding connection between the movable part 200 and the base 100.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific mating arrangement of the sliding component 400 is described below. In some embodiments, the first slider 410 is provided with a first groove 411, which extends along a first direction X. The first slide rail 420 can partially pass through the first groove 411, thus ensuring the reliability of the assembly connection between the first slider 410 and the first slide rail 420. In other embodiments, the first slide rail 420 is provided with a second groove, which extends along the first direction X. The first slider 410 can partially pass through the second groove, thus ensuring the reliability of the assembly connection between the first slider 410 and the first slide rail 420. The specific connection arrangement between the first slider 410 and the first slide rail 420 can be determined according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the example of the first slide rail 420 partially passing through the first groove 411 of the first slider 410 is used for illustration.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the anti-flying mechanism 10 includes a connecting rod 500, and a second seat 120 has a connecting hole 121. One end of the connecting rod 500 passes through the connecting hole 121, and the other end is connected to the movable part 200. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In terms of orientation, the right end of the connecting rod 500 extends through the connecting hole 121, and the left end of the connecting rod 500 connects to the movable part 200. When the movable part 200 slides in the opposite direction of the first direction X, the length of the connecting rod 500 extending through the connecting hole 121 increases. This means that the cooperation between the connecting rod 500 and the second seat 120 provides guidance for the sliding of the movable part 200, improving the stability and reliability of the sliding motion.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The specific arrangement of the elastic element 300 is described below. In some embodiments, the elastic element 300 can be a spring, and it can be arranged around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 500. When the elastic element 300 is compressed, its two ends along the first direction X abut against the movable part 200 and the second seat part 120, respectively. That is, the elastic element 300 can generate an elastic force that drives the movable part 200 away from the second seat part 120 in the opposite direction of the first direction X. The arrangement of the elastic element 300 around the connecting rod 500 in this solution can prevent the elastic element 300 from tilting during compression, ensuring the reliability of the assembly connection of the elastic element 300.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific configuration of the active part 200 is described below. In some embodiments, the active part 200 includes a first block 220 and a second block 230, which are arranged at intervals. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In terms of orientation, the left side block of the movable part 200 can be a first block 220, and the right side block of the movable part 200 can be a second block 230. The first block 220 has a first abutment part 210, and the second block 230 is connected to the connecting rod 500. In this design, the first block 220 and the second block 230 are arranged alternately. Compared to a design where the first block 220 and the second block 230 are integrated, this design facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first abutment part 210 and the connecting rod 500, and also saves material on the movable part 200.

[0057] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the second block 230 is detachably connected to the first block 220. Specifically, the first block 220 may be provided with multiple mounting holes 221, and the second block 230 may be installed and removed in different mounting holes 221, thereby adjusting the distance between the second block 230 and the second seat 120 to meet various assembly requirements.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific configuration of the link 500 is described below. In some embodiments, the link 500 includes a rod head 510, which is located at one end of the link 500 away from the movable portion 200, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 In terms of orientation, the rod head 510 is located at the right end of the connecting rod 500. Along the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the cross-sectional area of ​​the rod head 510 is larger than the opening area of ​​the connecting hole 121. That is, the connecting hole 121 of the second seat 120 can restrict the rod head 510 from passing through the connecting hole 121, thereby preventing the elastic member 300 from driving the movable part 200 to move excessively away from the second seat 120, and realizing the limiting operation of the movable part 200.

[0059] Refer to 1 to Figure 4In some embodiments, the movable part 200 has a second abutting part 240, which is used to abut against the shuttle module 20 or the logistics line 1, etc. The structure of the second abutting part 240 may be the same as or different from that of the first abutting part 210. It should be noted that in other embodiments, both the first abutting part 210 and the second abutting part 240 may be provided with anti-collision pads, which can avoid rigid collisions between the abutting parts and the shuttle module 20 and improve the cushioning effect.

[0060] The second abutting portion 240 and the first abutting portion 210 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The second direction Y intersects the first direction X. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the second direction Y may be perpendicular to the first direction X. In other embodiments, the second direction Y may also be at other angles that are not perpendicular to the first direction X. This application embodiment is described with the example of the second direction Y being perpendicular to the first direction X, referring to... Figure 1 The orientation is as follows: the first direction X can point to the left or right, and the second direction Y can point to the front or back. The movable part 200 of this solution includes a first abutting part 210 and a second abutting part 240, which can abut at multiple positions of the shuttle module 20, improving the reliability of the limit.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific relative arrangement of the first abutment portion 210 and the second abutment portion 240 is described below. In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the first abutment portion 210 has a first distance to the end of the second seat portion 120 opposite to the first seat portion 110, and the second abutment portion 240 has a second distance to the end of the second seat portion 120 opposite to the first seat portion 110. In some embodiments, the second distance may be greater than the first distance, that is, the protruding length of the second abutment portion 240 may be greater than the protruding length of the first abutment portion 210. The first abutment portion 210 can abut against the transfer module 20, and the second abutment portion 240 can abut against the original conveyor line, that is, the original material line 1 can limit the movable part 200, preventing the elastic element 300 from over-driving the movable part 200. In other embodiments, the second distance may also be equal to the first distance, that is, both the first abutment portion 210 and the second abutment portion 240 can abut against the transfer module 20, ensuring a buffering effect.

[0062] A second aspect of this utility model provides a logistics line 1, which includes at least one anti-flying mechanism 10 as described in the above embodiments, as well as a conveyor assembly 30 and a transfer module 20. This embodiment uses a logistics line 1 with two anti-flying mechanisms 10 as an example. The conveyor assembly 30 is used to convey a moving part 40. The conveyor assembly 30 includes a first conveyor line 3011 and a second conveyor line 3021 arranged at intervals along a third direction Z. The third direction Z intersects with the first direction X. The third direction Z can be perpendicular to the first direction X or at other non-perpendicular angles. The transfer module 20 is used to switch the moving part 40 from the first conveyor line 3011 to the second conveyor line 3021. The logistics line 1 of this solution can provide buffering and elastic limiting for the transfer module 20, effectively suppressing the moving part 40 from flying up or shifting significantly, and ensuring the stability of the transfer transport.

[0063] It should be noted that, for reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In terms of orientation, the first anti-flying mechanism 10 can be located on the side of the first conveyor line 3011 away from the second conveyor line 3021, and the second anti-flying mechanism 10 can be located on the side of the second conveyor line 3021 away from the first conveyor line 3011.

[0064] The specific transportation process of logistics line 1 in this application is described below. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shuttle module 20 includes a first stop 201 and a second stop 202 arranged opposite to each other. The second stop 202 can push the left anti-flying mechanism 10 to the open state, allowing the mover 40 to move between the shuttle module 20 and the first conveyor line 3011. At this time, the right anti-flying mechanism 10 (not shown) is in the closed state, and the first abutment portion 210 and the second abutment portion 240 of the right anti-flying mechanism 10 are closer to the second conveyor line 3021, that is, the right anti-flying mechanism 10 can limit the shuttle module 20 from the right. The first stop 201 can push the right anti-flying mechanism 10 to the open state, allowing the mover 40 to move between the shuttle module 20 and the second conveyor line 3021. At this time, the left anti-flying mechanism 10 is in the closed state, and the first abutment portion 210 and the second abutment portion 240 of the left anti-flying mechanism 10 are closer to the first conveyor line 3011, that is, the left anti-flying mechanism 10 can limit the shuttle module 20 from the left. When the logistics line 1 turns, starts, stops, or performs other operations, the anti-flying mechanism 10 can block or fix the object, preventing it from accidentally leaving the logistics line 1 due to inertia or other factors. Therefore, this solution can ensure the safety of the logistics line 1, prevent objects from flying up and posing a safety threat to surrounding personnel and equipment, and help maintain the accurate position of the object on the logistics line 1, ensuring the precision and accuracy of the transport.

[0065] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the logistics line 1 may be equipped with a control component, which may be connected to the anti-fly mechanism 10. When the anti-fly mechanism 10 is triggered, it may send a signal to the control component. When the logistics line 1 malfunctions, it may be shut down in time to ensure the safe operation of the logistics line 1.

[0066] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0067] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or," "and / or," or "and / or" throughout the text implies three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where A and B are simultaneously satisfied. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
