[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer vehicle technology, specifically a transfer vehicle for automatic material transport at workstations. Background Technology

[0002] A transfer vehicle is a vehicle used for moving and transporting materials, goods or equipment, and plays an important role in industries such as logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing.

[0003] The existing patent (publication number CN112551439A) and a transfer vehicle are intended to replace robotic arms, which can greatly reduce the cost and has a high load-bearing capacity, capable of handling heavy materials weighing more than 1.5 tons. However, the transfer vehicle has a significant difference in accuracy compared to robotic arms and lacks the correction capability of robotic arms, making it prone to deviations during the reciprocating movement of materials at workstations.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a transfer vehicle for automatic material conveying at workstations, which helps determine the position of the transfer vehicle on the guide rail and determines whether the position of the transfer vehicle is in the predetermined position by time period. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer vehicle for automatic material conveying at workstations, comprising a guide rail and a transfer vehicle, wherein the transfer vehicle moves linearly via the guide rail, and guide grooves adapted to the guide rollers at the bottom of the transfer vehicle are provided on both sides of the guide rail, and position triggers are installed at equal intervals in the guide grooves, and a control box is installed inside the transfer vehicle, wherein the control box is equipped with a timer and a wireless receiver;

[0007] The time signal output terminal of the timer is connected to the signal input terminal of the controller inside the control box, and the position signal output terminal of the position trigger is connected to the signal input terminal of the wireless transmitter.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the guide rail is provided with a moving groove that is adapted to the drive wheel at the bottom of the transfer vehicle, and the drive wheel is activated to make the transfer vehicle move along the moving groove.

[0009] Furthermore: the wireless receiver is located on the top of the control box, and a control panel is installed at the front of the control box.

[0010] Furthermore: the guide roller generates a position signal via a position trigger, and the drive wheel generates a time signal by starting a timer from the starting point. Each position signal corresponds to a time period signal.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model relates to a transfer vehicle for automatic material conveying at workstations. Through the setting of a wireless transmitter, a timer, and a position trigger, the transfer vehicle moves along the guide rail. When the transfer vehicle moves from the starting point, the timer is activated. When the time signal of the timer reaches a certain predetermined time period, and the transfer vehicle triggers the corresponding position trigger on the guide rail, it is helpful to determine the position of the transfer vehicle on the guide rail. At the same time, the time period is used to determine whether the position of the transfer vehicle is at the predetermined position. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The structures involved in this utility model are not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] Example:

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a transfer vehicle for automatic material conveying at workstations, including a guide rail 3 and a transfer vehicle 1. The transfer vehicle 1 moves linearly via the guide rail 3. Guide grooves 10 adapted to guide rollers 2 at the bottom of the transfer vehicle 1 are provided on both sides of the guide rail 3. There are two sets of guide rollers 2, which clamp and move the guide grooves 10 on both sides of the guide rail 3. Position triggers 4 are installed at equal intervals in the guide grooves 10. The position triggers 4 are mechanisms or devices that activate and perform corresponding operations at specific positions or under specific conditions. A control box 6 is installed inside the transfer vehicle 1. The control box 6 is equipped with a timer 9 and a wireless receiver.

[0020] The timer 9 is a device that uses a specific principle to measure time. A wireless receiver is a device that receives radio signals and converts them into perceptible or intelligent signals. It can capture radio waves and extract information from them. Then, it converts the signals into digital signals through a demodulator, amplifies them, and converts them into audio, video, or data for subsequent use.

[0021] The time signal output terminal of the timer 9 is connected to the signal input terminal of the controller inside the control box 6, and the position signal output terminal of the position trigger 4 is connected to the signal input terminal of the wireless transmitter 7.

[0022] The transfer vehicle 1 moves along the guide rail 3. When the transfer vehicle 1 moves from the starting point, the timer 9 is started. When the time signal of the timer 9 reaches a certain predetermined time period, and the transfer vehicle 1 triggers the corresponding position trigger 4 on the guide rail 3, the position of the transfer vehicle 1 on the guide rail 3 is determined. At the same time, the position of the transfer vehicle 1 on the guide rail 3 is determined by the time period.

[0023] The top of the guide rail 3 is provided with a moving groove 11 that is adapted to the drive wheel 5 at the bottom of the transfer vehicle 1. When the drive wheel 5 is activated, the transfer vehicle 1 moves along the moving groove 11, and the drive wheel 5 of the transfer vehicle 1 drives the transfer vehicle 1 to move. The drive wheel 5 engages with the moving groove 11 of the guide rail 3, and the drive wheel 5 moves along the moving groove 11. The control box 6 is equipped with a drive assembly, which provides a power source to the drive wheel 5.

[0024] The wireless receiver is located on the top of the control box 6. A control panel 8 is installed at the front of the control box 6. The wireless receiver is plugged into the top of the control box 6. The internal parameters of the transfer vehicle 1 can be viewed through the control panel 8.

[0025] The guide roller 2 generates a position signal via the position trigger 4, and the drive wheel 5 generates a time signal by starting from the starting point and being timed by the timer 9. Each position signal corresponds to a time period signal.

[0026] An alarm is built into the control box 6 to provide warning in case the transfer vehicle 1 malfunctions.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: There are two sets of guide rollers 2. The two sets of guide rollers 2 clamp and move the guide grooves 10 on both sides of the guide rail 3. The drive assembly provides a power source to the drive wheel 5, and then the drive wheel 5 of the transfer vehicle 1 drives the transfer vehicle 1 to move. The drive wheel 5 engages with the moving groove 11 of the guide rail 3, and then the drive wheel 5 moves along the moving groove 11.

[0028] The transfer vehicle 1 moves along the guide rail 3. When the transfer vehicle 1 moves from the starting point, the timer 9 is started. When the time signal of the timer 9 reaches a certain predetermined time period, and the transfer vehicle 1 triggers the corresponding position trigger 4 on the guide rail 3, the position of the transfer vehicle 1 on the guide rail 3 is determined. At the same time, the position of the transfer vehicle 1 on the guide rail 3 is determined by the time period.

[0029] If the transfer vehicle 1 fails to trigger the predetermined position trigger 4 within the specified time period, the alarm in the control box 6 will be activated for inspection.
