Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, specifically to a transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics is part of supply chain activities. It is the planning, implementation, and control of the efficient and low-cost flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from production sites to consumption sites in order to meet customer needs. Logistics is centered on warehousing and promotes the synchronization of production and market.

[0003] Traditional box-transfer methods mainly rely on a combination of screw mechanisms and pneumatic grippers. Although they can achieve basic X / Y / Z three-axis movement, they are significantly lacking in flexibility, adaptability, and automation. Especially in scenarios such as logistics sorting, warehousing and material handling, and production line loading and unloading, the single motion mode of traditional equipment and the need for manual intervention have become key bottlenecks restricting efficiency improvement. Relying on the linear drive combination of screw and cylinder can only achieve unidirectional movement of the X / Y / Z axes and cannot complete multi-angle tilting, rotation, or compound trajectory movements. Each additional direction of movement requires an additional screw mechanism, resulting in complex structure and increased cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer device, including a mounting column, a first motor mounted on the top of the mounting column, a first column fixed to the shaft of the first motor, a frame plate fixed to the top of the first column, and a lifting cylinder hinged to the side, a drive rod and a connecting rod hinged to the inner side of the frame plate, a connecting frame fixed between the other ends of the drive rod and the connecting rod, a second motor mounted on the inner side of the connecting frame, an L-shaped rod fixed to the drive end of the second motor, a third motor mounted at the bottom end of the L-shaped rod, a rotating rod fixed to the drive end of the third motor, a fixing frame fixed to the bottom end of the rotating rod, an adjusting component mounted on the fixing frame, a positioning plate fixed to one end of the adjusting component, and two sets of suction cup devices and support blocks mounted on the positioning plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a push cylinder and a rotating block rotatably mounted inside the fixed frame. The piston rod of the push cylinder is hinged to one side of the rotating block. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating block. A side push cylinder is hinged to one side of the positioning plate. The piston rod of the side push cylinder is hinged to the rotating plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a guide block is rotatably connected to the inner side of the drive rod, and a guide rod that passes through the guide block is hinged to the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder, with a nut on the guide rod.

[0007] Furthermore, brake discs are fixed to the outer sides of the first motor, the L-shaped rod, and the third motor. Mounting plates are fixed to the first column, the connecting frame, and the rotating rod. U-shaped frames extending to the lower part of the corresponding brake discs are fixed to two of the mounting plates. Lowering cylinders are installed on the U-shaped frames and another set of mounting plates. A lowering plate is fixed to the ejector end of the lowering cylinder. An auxiliary rod that is slidably connected to the mounting plate is fixed to the lowering plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning plate has an upper plate and a lower plate on both sides, which are locked together by screws. Two sets of recessed blocks are fixed on the upper plate, and a column is placed between the recessed blocks and fixed by screws to the upper recessed blocks. The outer side of the column is also provided with upper and lower recessed blocks. An L-plate is fixed on one side of the recessed block on the column, and the suction cup device is installed on the corresponding L-plate.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This transfer device achieves horizontal rotation by driving the first column to rotate via a first motor. The lifting cylinder pushes the frame plate via a drive rod to achieve Z-axis lifting and lowering, forming a pitch motion. The second motor drives the L-shaped rod to swing, forming a fan-shaped motion. The third motor drives the rotating rod to rotate. Combined with the adjustment component to fine-tune the positioning plate, it forms a multi-axis spatial motion capability, capable of performing compound actions such as tilting, rotation, and arc trajectories. It breaks through the limitations of traditional three-axis linear movement. Through the combination design of suction cup device and support block, the support block provides support, and the suction cup device provides suction force to complete the transfer of the box, reducing manual intervention and improving the success rate in complex scenarios.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-6 In this embodiment, a transfer device includes a mounting column 1 fixed on the ground. A first motor 2 is mounted on the top of the mounting column 1. A first column 3 is fixed to the drive end of the first motor 2. A rectangular frame plate 4 is fixed to the top of the first column 3. A pitch motion component is installed between the first column 3 and the frame plate 4. A connecting frame 9 is fixed to the end of the pitch motion component. A second motor 10 is installed inside the connecting frame 9. An L-shaped rod 11 is fixed to the drive end of the second motor 10. A third motor 12 is mounted at the bottom end of the L-shaped plate 11. A rotating rod 13 is fixed to the drive end of the third motor 12. An adjustment component is installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 13. A positioning plate 19 is mounted at the adjustment end of the adjustment component. The positioning plate 19 is cross-shaped and has a Z-shaped bottom end. A support block 20 is mounted at the bottom end, and a suction cup device 27 is mounted at the top end.

[0020] In the above structure, the mounting column provides a stable support foundation for the entire device. The first motor controls the rotation of the first column, which in turn drives the frame plate and subsequent components to rotate, achieving horizontal angle adjustment. This helps to expand the working range of the device. The rectangular frame plate provides a large space for the pitch motion components, enabling the connecting frame to pitch and thus flexibly adjust the angle of the connecting frame and the components below, adapting to different height and angle working requirements, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device. The second motor drives the L-shaped rod to rotate, which can further adjust the position and direction of the positioning plate, achieving more precise angle adjustment, which helps to improve the adaptability and operational accuracy of the device to different working scenarios. The third motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, providing the positioning plate with another degree of rotational freedom, allowing the positioning plate to be adjusted in multiple dimensions, more accurately positioning and manipulating objects, improving the controllability and accuracy of the device. The adjustment component can perform more detailed position and angle adjustments on the positioning plate, further improving the positioning accuracy of the device. The support block can provide stable support when the device contacts an object, and the suction cup device can use negative pressure to adsorb objects.

[0021] like Figure 1 and 5 The pitch motion assembly includes a lifting cylinder 5 hinged to the first column 3, and a drive rod 7 and a connecting rod 8 hinged to the inner side of the frame plate 4. The drive rod 7 is located above the connecting rod 8. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 5 is hinged to the drive rod 7, and the connecting frame 9 is fixed to the drive rod 7 and the connecting rod 8. The combined design of the drive rod and the connecting rod forms a stable linkage structure and is fixed to the connecting frame together. This layout allows the force to be evenly transmitted to the connecting frame, ensuring the stability of the connecting frame during movement and reducing swaying and offset. By controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, the movement of the drive rod can be precisely controlled, thereby driving the connecting frame to achieve pitch motion. This control method can flexibly adjust the pitch angle according to actual needs to adapt to different working scenarios and task requirements.

[0022] The drive rod 7 has a guide block 61 hinged to its inner side, and the top of the lifting cylinder 5 has a guide rod 6 that passes through the guide block 61. A nut is provided on the outer side of the guide rod 6. The through-and-through cooperation of the guide block and the guide rod provides precise guidance for the movement of the drive rod. When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder extends or retracts, driving the drive rod to move, the guide block moves along the guide rod, ensuring that the drive rod can only move in the direction defined by the guide rod. This avoids unnecessary deviation or swaying of the drive rod during movement, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the entire pitch motion assembly. The nut on the outer side of the guide rod can be used as a limiting device. By fine-tuning the position of the nut, the initial position and range of motion of the drive rod can be slightly adjusted, thereby achieving fine-tuning of the pitch angle of the connecting frame. This fine-tuning function allows the device to adapt to different working requirements and environmental conditions, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device.

[0023] like Figure 1 and 3 The adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame 14 fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 13. The fixed frame 14 is a cuboid frame plate. A push cylinder 15 and a rotating block 16 are hinged to the inner side of the fixed frame 14. The piston rod of the push cylinder 15 is hinged to the top of the rotating block 16, and the bottom of the rotating block 16 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 19. A side-push cylinder 18 is hinged to the positioning plate 19, and the piston rod of the side-push cylinder 18 is hinged to a rotating plate 17 fixed to the rotating end of the positioning plate 19. The push cylinder drives the rotating block to rotate, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the positioning plate. The side-push cylinder pushes the rotating plate, enabling the positioning plate to rotate horizontally. Through the synergistic action of these two cylinders, the positioning plate can be flexibly adjusted in multiple dimensions to adapt to different work requirements and scenarios. When gripping or placing objects, the angle and position of the positioning plate can be adjusted to better fit the support block and suction cup device to the object surface, improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0024] like Figure 4 The positioning plate 19 has an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22 on its front and rear sides at the top. The upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are locked together by screws. A pair of recessed blocks 23 are fixed on the surface of the upper plate 21. A column 25 is placed between the concave surfaces of the two recessed blocks 23. The recessed blocks 23 are locked with upper recessed blocks 24 by screws. The outer side of the column 25 is also provided with upper recessed blocks 24 and lower recessed blocks 23 locked together by screws. An L-plate 26 is fixed to the back of the recessed blocks 23 on the column 25. The suction cup device 27 is installed on the corresponding L-plate 26. The upper and lower plates, upper and lower recessed blocks, and column are connected by screws. This design allows for assembly and disassembly of components simply by turning the screws, making the operation simple and convenient. If the suction cup device needs to be repaired, replaced, or its position adjusted, only the corresponding screws need to be removed to easily operate the relevant components, greatly saving time and labor costs.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2Brake discs 28 are fixed to the outer side of the first motor 2, the outer side of the head end of the L-shaped rod 11, and the outer side of the third motor 12. Mounting plates 29 are fixed to the first column 3, the connecting frame 9, and the rotating rod 13. U-shaped frames 30 are fixed to the mounting plates 29 on the first column 3 and the connecting frame 9. The brake discs 28 on the first motor 2 and the L-shaped rod 11 are located inside the corresponding U-shaped frames 30. Lower-push cylinders 31 are installed on the top of the two U-shaped frames 30 and the bottom of the mounting plates 29 on the rotating rod 13. Lower-push plates 32 are fixed to the ejector end of the lower-push cylinders 31. Auxiliary rods 33 that are slidably connected to the corresponding mounting plates 29 are fixed to the top of the two lower-push plates 32 above the brake disc 28 and the lower-push plate 32 below the brake disc 28. Brake discs are installed on the outside of the first motor, the L-shaped rod, and the third motor. In conjunction with the lower top cylinder driving the lower top plate to contact the corresponding brake disc, precise braking of each rotating component can be achieved. When the device needs to stop at a specific position, the lower top cylinder pushes the lower top plate to press the brake disc, which can quickly stop the rotation of the motor or rod, so that the positioning plate and other working components can be accurately stopped at the target position, meeting the requirements of high-precision operation. For example, in scenarios where precise grasping or placement of objects is required, positional deviations caused by inertia can be avoided.
