Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to production material conveying device technical field especially, relates to a contact type charging carrier robot and contact type charging conveying device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production and processing link of the factory's assembly line, usually need to carry out the operation of multiple procedures in turn. Most production lines complete the transportation task of workpieces by means of the conveyor belt.

[0003] Taking clothing production and processing as an example, the whole process covers material cutting, sewing, size setting and packaging procedures. In the clothing production process, the time consumed by the material cutting and sewing procedures is relatively small, and a large amount of auxiliary work occupies a considerable amount of working time. These auxiliary works not only involve material operations in various processing links, but also, due to the fact that a single station is usually responsible for the processing of a single procedure under the traditional production mode, the frequent transfer of materials between multiple procedures further aggravates the consumption of auxiliary work time.

[0004] In order to effectively reduce the time occupied by auxiliary work and improve the efficiency of clothing production, the industry generally uses hanging conveying equipment to convey clothing materials. This conveying method has obvious advantages. Whether it is a complete set of clothes, a semi-finished product in the processing process, or various unprocessed materials, they can be transported by hanging conveying equipment to improve the overall material transportation and production efficiency.

[0005] In the existing hanging conveying equipment, the carrier robot can move in the track by self-driving to realize the transportation of materials. Since the carrier robot is powered by its own battery when it travels on the production line, the working time of the carrier robot is limited by the battery capacity. When the battery is low or depleted, the battery needs to be replaced so that the carrier robot can continue to travel and work, which affects the overall production efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

The control circuit board keeps communication with the background server, can upload the information of the contact charging carrier robot and receive the instruction of the background server to control the operation of the contact charging carrier robot.

In order to prolong the working time and efficiency of the motor, the battery is selected as a storage battery, which is convenient for charging the battery to make the motor obtain longer working time.

[0034] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The lower part of the mounting rack 3 is provided with a conductive wheel 5, at least a part of which is provided with a conductor.
