Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology of bagged material loading equipment, specifically a slope-type material transfer device with a reasonable structure, adaptable to different loading positions, effectively improving work efficiency and helping to solve the problem of material conveying congestion. Background technology:

[0002] Most commercially available bagged material gripping methods employ either multi-point or single-point fixed-position gripping, which significantly restricts robot movement. Furthermore, the need to calculate the gripping position reduces robot efficiency. Adapting to fixed gripping positions also requires high precision in vehicle parking, hindering efficient loading. In addition, materials are often disordered during continuous transport, making them prone to blockages during gripping. Common bagged material gripping methods malfunction when encountering blockages, requiring waiting for the blockage to clear before resuming normal operation, which significantly impacts loading efficiency. Summary of the Invention:

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by proposing a slope-type material transfer device with a reasonable structure, adaptable to different loading positions, effectively improving work efficiency, and helping to solve the problem of material conveying congestion.

[0004] This utility model achieves its purpose through the following measures:

[0005] A ramp-type material transfer device includes a feeding conveyor line, a bag-grabbing conveyor line, and a downhill conveyor line. The bag-grabbing conveyor line is horizontally arranged, with the front end of the feeding conveyor line and the rear end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line hinged together by a hinge shaft, the feeding conveyor line hanging vertically below the rear end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line. The rear end of the downhill conveyor line is connected to the front end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line, the downhill conveyor line hanging vertically below the front end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line. A blocking component is provided between the downhill conveyor line and the bag-grabbing conveyor line, the blocking component including a baffle and a cylinder for driving the baffle to rise and fall.

[0006] This utility model also includes a slide bracket. Specifically, the lower part of the grabbing conveyor line is connected to the slide bracket, which is used to install rollers, so that the grabbing conveyor line can cooperate with the external guide rail and slide along the guide rail. Furthermore, a grabbing mechanism is also provided, which adopts a grabbing manipulator or robot. The grabbing manipulator or robot is mounted on a robot mounting base. The lower part of the robot mounting base is also provided with a slide bracket, and rollers are correspondingly provided at the bottom of the slide bracket. Furthermore, the slide bracket below the robot mounting base is connected to the slide bracket below the grabbing conveyor line so that the grabbing conveyor line moves with the movement of the robot.

[0007] The blocking component described in this utility model includes a cylinder and a baffle. The cylinder is fixed on the slide bracket and is stationary. The baffle is fixed on the moving end of the cylinder and moves up and down with the movement of the cylinder.

[0008] The bag-grabbing conveyor line of this utility model includes a bag-grabbing conveyor frame, and a motor, a reducer, conveyor rollers, and sensors installed on the frame. The sensors are installed on the side of the frame and are through-beam position sensors. Two sets of sensors are respectively located near the baffle and near the center point of the frame's length. Two or more conveyor rollers are installed side-by-side on the frame. The motor is connected to the reducer and drives the conveyor rollers to rotate via a transmission chain. Furthermore, the conveyor rollers on the bag-grabbing conveyor line are divided into two groups, and the two groups are respectively driven by a first drive... The electric motor and the second drive motor drive the synchronous transmission respectively. Correspondingly, a first position sensor for detecting the material on the first set of conveyor rollers and a second position sensor for detecting the material on the second set of conveyor rollers are provided on the side of the bag grabbing conveyor frame. The baffle at the front end of the bag grabbing conveyor, i.e. the blocking component mentioned above, is composed of a cylinder and a baffle. The cylinder is fixed on the slide table bracket and is stationary. The baffle is fixed at the moving end of the cylinder and moves up and down with the movement of the cylinder. Its main function is to prevent the material to be grabbed from continuing to move forward and exceeding the grabbing position when the roller line does not stop in time.

[0009] The feeding conveyor line described in this utility model adopts a conveyor belt type conveyor line.

[0010] This invention is used for material transfer during the loading of bagged materials and can simultaneously handle material transfer and material gripping: Materials enter the feeding conveyor line via a long conveyor line, which then delivers the materials to the gripping conveyor line. The gripping conveyor line consists of a motor, reducer, rollers, and sensors. The motor, connected to the reducer, drives the rollers to rotate via chain drive. As the materials enter the gripping conveyor line, the rotating rollers propel the materials forward. Since the robot base is connected to the slide bracket below the gripping conveyor line, and the robot is mounted on a robot mounting base, the relative positions of the robot, the gripping conveyor line, and the material baffle remain constant. When material needs to be gripped, the material baffle rises to block the material; when the robot does not need to grip material, the material baffle falls, allowing the material to pass. The material baffle consists of a cylinder and a baffle plate. The cylinder pushes... The moving baffle moves up and down. When the first position sensor near the baffle detects material, a set of rollers near the baffle decelerates and stops rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the second bag of material. The second bag of material enters the grabbing conveyor line via the feeding conveyor line. When the second position sensor detects material, the remaining rollers decelerate and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the robot to grab it. After the robot completes the grabbing, the rollers start rotating, the material baffle falls, and the above process is repeated. When the conveyor line is blocked, if the robot needs to grab material, the material baffle rises. When there are two bags of material on the grabbing conveyor line, the feeding conveyor line stops running. After the material grabbing is completed, the material baffle falls, and the grabbing conveyor line and the feeding conveyor line operate normally. The material enters the downhill conveyor line via the feeding conveyor line and the grabbing conveyor line, thus clearing the material blockage.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, adaptability to different loading positions, effective improvement of work efficiency, and help to solve the problem of material conveying congestion. Attached image description:

[0018] Example:

[0019] This example provides a ramp-type material transfer device, which includes a feeding conveyor line 2, a bag-grabbing conveyor line 1, and a downhill conveyor line 3. The bag-grabbing conveyor line 1 is horizontally arranged. The front end of the feeding conveyor line 2 is hinged to the rear end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line 1 via a hinge shaft. The feeding conveyor line 2 hangs down at the rear of the bag-grabbing conveyor line 1. The rear end of the downhill conveyor line 3 is connected to the front end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line 1. The downhill conveyor line 3 hangs down at the front end of the bag-grabbing conveyor line. A blocking component 5 is provided between the downhill conveyor line and the bag-grabbing conveyor line. The blocking component 5 includes a baffle and a cylinder for driving the baffle to rise and fall.

[0020] As attached Figure 4 As shown, this example also includes a slide bracket 4. Specifically, the lower part of the grabbing conveyor line 1 is connected to the slide bracket 4. The slide bracket 4 is used to install rollers, so that the grabbing conveyor line 1 can cooperate with the external guide rail and slide along the guide rail. This example also includes a gripping mechanism, which adopts a gripping manipulator or robot. The gripping manipulator or robot is installed on the robot mounting base 7. The lower part of the robot mounting base 7 is also provided with a slide bracket 4, and rollers are correspondingly provided at the bottom of the slide bracket 4. Furthermore, in this example, the slide bracket 4 under the robot mounting base 7 is connected to the slide bracket under the grabbing conveyor line 1 so that the grabbing conveyor line moves with the movement of the robot.

[0021] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the blocking component 5 described in this example has two sets arranged along the width direction of the grabbing conveyor line 1. Each set is equipped with a cylinder and a baffle. The cylinder is fixed on the slide bracket 4 and is stationary. The baffle is fixed on the moving end of the cylinder and moves up and down with the movement of the cylinder.

[0022] The bag grabbing conveyor line 1 includes a bag grabbing conveyor frame, and a motor, a reducer, conveying rollers and sensors installed on the bag grabbing conveyor frame 1. The sensors are installed on the side of the bag grabbing conveyor frame and can be through-beam position sensors. Two sets of sensors are provided near the baffle and near the center point of the length of the bag grabbing conveyor frame, respectively. Two or more conveying rollers are installed side by side on the bag grabbing conveyor frame. The motor is connected to the reducer and drives the conveying rollers to rotate through the transmission chain.

[0023] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor rollers on the grabbing conveyor line 1 in this example are divided into two groups of equal numbers. The two groups of conveyor rollers are driven synchronously by the first drive motor 1.3 and the second drive motor 1.4, respectively. Correspondingly, a first position sensor for detecting the material on the first group of conveyor rollers and a second position sensor for detecting the material on the second group of conveyor rollers are provided on the side of the frame of the grabbing conveyor line 1. The baffle at the front end of the grabbing conveyor line 1, i.e., the blocking component 5 mentioned above, is composed of a cylinder and a baffle. The cylinder is fixed on the slide bracket and is stationary. The baffle is fixed at the moving end of the cylinder and moves up and down with the movement of the cylinder. Its main function is to prevent the material to be grabbed from continuing to move forward and exceeding the grabbing position when the roller line does not stop in time. The feeding conveyor line in this example adopts a conveyor belt type conveyor line.

[0024] In use, it is applied to material transfer during the loading of bagged materials and can simultaneously handle material transfer and material gripping: Materials enter the second feeding conveyor line via a long conveyor line. After the feeding conveyor line delivers the materials to the first gripping conveyor line, the first gripping conveyor line begins operation. The gripping conveyor line consists of a motor, reducer, rollers, and sensors. The motor, connected to the reducer, drives the rollers to rotate via chain drive. After the materials enter the second gripping conveyor line, the rotating rollers propel the materials forward. Since the robot base is connected to the slide support below the gripping conveyor line, the robot is mounted on a robot mounting base. The robot, the grabbing conveyor line, and the material baffle maintain a fixed relative position. When the robot needs to grab material, the material baffle (5) rises to block the material. When the robot does not need to grab material, the material baffle falls, allowing the material to pass. The material baffle consists of a cylinder and a baffle plate. The cylinder pushes the baffle plate to move up and down. When the first position sensor 1.1 near the baffle detects material, a set of rollers near the baffle (5) decelerates and stops rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the second bag of material. The second bag of material enters the grabbing conveyor line (2) via the feeding conveyor line (1). When the second position sensor 1.2... 2. When material is detected, the remaining rollers decelerate and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the robot to grab it. After the robot completes the grabbing, the rollers start rotating, the material baffle falls, and the above process is repeated. When the conveyor line is blocked, if the robot needs to grab the material, the material baffle rises. When there are two bags of material on the grabbing conveyor line, the feeding conveyor line stops running. After the material grabbing is completed, the material baffle falls, and the grabbing conveyor line and the feeding conveyor line work normally. The material passes through the feeding conveyor line and the grabbing conveyor line and enters the downhill conveyor line, thus clearing the material.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, adaptability to different loading positions, effective improvement of work efficiency, and help to solve the problem of material conveying congestion.
