Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of production line layout technology, and specifically relates to a processing production line. Background Technology

[0002] To support uninterrupted production on the processing line, temporary storage facilities are usually set up within the processing line. These facilities can be understood as convenient temporary storage points for materials during the production process. Since production on the processing line is a real-time process that does not allow any interruptions, the establishment of temporary storage facilities is essential.

[0003] In order to shorten the time for transporting materials to the main production line, the current layout of the processing plant usually places the temporary storage mechanism right next to the main production line. However, this layout can easily cause batch mixing of materials. Since the main production line is directly connected to the temporary storage mechanism, the materials that enter the temporary storage mechanism first will exit later during processing, forming a "last-in, first-out" phenomenon. The batches of materials processed are mixed, and subsequent manual batch separation is required, which greatly reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing production lines that are prone to material mixing, and to provide a processing production line.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a processing production line, comprising:

[0006] Main production line;

[0007] A transport unit is used to transfer materials from upstream equipment to the main production line;

[0008] A temporary storage unit is used to temporarily store materials that are about to enter the main production line. The temporary storage unit is located on one side of the transport unit and includes:

[0009] Material storage racks are used to hold materials;

[0010] The lifting and picking mechanism includes a lifting component and a picking component. The picking component can extend or retract relative to the lifting component. The lifting component is connected to the material storage rack and can move up and down relative to the material storage rack. When the lifting component moves to any level of the material storage rack, the picking component can take or put materials.

[0011] Furthermore, the material handling component is configured to extend or retract relative to the lifting material handling mechanism to pick up or place materials.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly is provided with a positioning hole, and the material handling component includes a positioning pin and a driving component. The positioning pin is located below the positioning hole, and the positioning pin is driven into or out of the positioning hole by the driving component.

[0013] Furthermore, a detachable connection component is provided between the temporary storage unit and the transport unit.

[0014] Furthermore, the temporary storage unit is set along the transmission direction of the transport unit and is located at the loading end of the transport unit.

[0015] Furthermore, the temporary storage unit is positioned in a direction perpendicular to the transport unit's transmission direction.

[0016] This utility model provides a processing production line that adds a transport unit to the loading end of the main production line. A temporary storage unit is set at the position corresponding to the transport unit. The transport unit first transports the materials to be processed to the temporary storage unit, or transports the materials in the temporary storage unit to the main production line, ensuring that the temporary storage unit is not directly connected to the main production line. This allows for precise control of the order in which materials enter the main production line. At the same time, the material storage rack and the lifting and picking mechanism are combined to form the temporary storage unit. Through the lifting components and picking parts in the lifting and picking mechanism moving on the material storage rack, materials can be picked up and put in at any level on the material storage rack, ensuring the "first-in, first-out" principle of materials in the material storage rack, avoiding batch mixing of materials, and ensuring production efficiency.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention discloses a processing production line, which mainly includes a main production line 1, a transportation unit 2 and a temporary storage unit 3.

[0025] Main production line 1 is used for material processing. Main production line 1 may include conveyor lines and processing equipment. The conveyor lines transport materials to the processing positions, and then the processing equipment can perform corresponding processing on the materials. This solution does not further limit the specific structure of the conveyor lines and processing equipment in main production line 1.

[0026] Transport unit 2 has one end connected to upstream equipment and the other end connected to the conveyor line in main production line 1. It is used to transfer materials from upstream equipment to main production line 1 for processing. In this design, transport unit 2 can be a belt conveyor, roller conveyor, or other structure with transport functions. Specifically, transport unit 2 is positioned along the transport direction of main production line 1 at the loading end of main production line 1, and its transport direction is consistent with that of main production line 1, ensuring that materials can be directly transported to main production line 1.

[0027] Temporary storage unit 3 is used to temporarily store materials that are about to enter the main production line 1. Since the main production line 1 requires time to process materials, and unexpected situations such as equipment failures or operator errors may occur during processing, the processing time for each material cannot always be guaranteed to be the same. When materials have arrived at transport unit 2 but the main production line 1 does not yet have an available processing position, temporary storage unit 3 can temporarily store the materials to ensure the continuity of the entire processing line. Temporary storage unit 3 can be specifically located at one end of transport unit 2, defined as a location far from the connection point between transport unit 2 and the main production line 1. This ensures that temporary storage unit 3 is not directly connected to the main production line 1, and even if the main production line 1 needs to stop operating due to unforeseen circumstances, it will not affect the flow of materials from upstream equipment through transport unit 2 into temporary storage unit 3.

[0028] The temporary storage unit 3 is specifically located on one side of the transport unit 2. The temporary storage unit 3 mainly includes a material storage rack 31 for buffering materials and a lifting and picking mechanism for picking up and putting down materials, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0029] The material storage rack 31 may be equipped with several platforms for carrying materials, and the platforms are arranged vertically on the material storage rack 31.

[0030] The lifting and picking mechanism is connected to the material storage rack 31 and is specifically located close to the transport unit 2. The lifting and picking mechanism includes a lifting component 32 and a picking component 33. The picking component 33 is configured to extend or retract relative to the lifting and picking mechanism to pick up and place materials. Specifically, the picking component 33 can extend or retract relative to the lifting component 32. The lifting component 32 is connected to the material storage rack 31 and can move up and down relative to the material storage rack 31. When the lifting component 32 moves to any level of the material storage rack 31, the picking component 33 can act to pick up and place materials. That is, the picking component 33 can transport the materials to be processed on the transport unit 2 to the platform in the material storage rack 31, or transport the materials in the platform in the material storage rack 31 back to the transport unit 2, and ensure that the picking and placing of materials on the material storage rack 31 follows the "first-in, first-out" order principle. The platform can be composed of two carrier plates spaced a certain distance apart. When the picking component 33 extends out of the lifting assembly 32 and enters the material storage rack 31, the picking component 33 specifically extends into the gap between the two carrier plates to transport the material onto the platform. To ensure the stability of material handling, the lifting assembly 32 is provided with a positioning hole. The picking component 33 specifically includes a positioning pin and a driving component. The positioning pin is located below the positioning hole and is driven into or out of the positioning hole by the driving component. When the picking component 33 reaches the material and retracts into the lifting assembly 32 for the next transport step, the driving component drives the positioning pin to extend into the positioning hole, completing the positioning of the picking component 33 and the lifting assembly 32, preventing relative movement between the picking component 33 and the lifting assembly 32, and ensuring stable material transport.

[0031] Specifically, taking the empty platform at a certain height level on the material storage rack 31 as the initial position, when materials need to be stored in the temporary storage unit 3 from the transport unit 2, the lifting component 32 moves the picking component 33 to the plane of the transport unit 2. The picking component 33 extends out of the lifting component 32 to take out the materials on the transport unit 2 and moves the materials back to the lifting component 32. The lifting component 32 then moves the picking component 33 to the plane of the empty platform at the corresponding height level. The picking component 33 extends out of the lifting component 32 from another direction and puts the materials into the empty platform. The picking component 33 then retracts back into the lifting component 32, completing one storage of materials. This cycle continues. Similarly, when materials need to be removed from the temporary storage unit 3, the lifting assembly 32 moves the picking component 33 to the plane of the platform at the target height layer on the material storage rack 31. The picking component 33 extends out of the lifting assembly 32, enters the material storage rack 31 to retrieve the material, and retracts the material back into the lifting assembly 32. The lifting assembly 32 then moves the material to the location of the transport unit 2, and the picking component 33 returns the material to the transport unit 2. This ensures that the materials on the material storage rack can achieve the "first-in, first-out" function, accurately control the order in which the materials enter the main production line 1, avoid the mixing of batches of materials, avoid the drawbacks of subsequent manual sorting, and ensure production efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, a detachable connection component is provided between the transport unit 2 and the temporary storage unit 3, allowing for quick disassembly and assembly between the temporary storage unit 3 and the transport unit 2. The detachable connection component can be a slot and buckle design respectively provided in the transport unit 2 and the temporary storage unit 3, which allows for easy insertion and removal while ensuring connection stability; or the detachable connection component can be a clamp or locking pin structure provided on the temporary storage unit 3 to fix the position of the temporary storage unit 3 on the transport unit 2, while allowing for quick release, etc. The temporary storage unit 3 and the transport unit 2 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, that is, the connection position between the temporary storage unit 3 and the transport unit can be changed at any time according to layout requirements.

[0033] As one embodiment of this solution, the temporary storage unit 3 is arranged along the transmission direction of the transport unit 2 and is located at the loading end of the transport unit 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the main production line 1, transportation unit 2 and temporary storage unit 3 are located on the same straight line.

[0034] In another embodiment of this solution, the temporary storage unit 3 is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transport unit 2, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the temporary storage unit 3 is located to the left or right of the transport unit 2.

[0035] In summary, this solution adds a transportation unit 2 and a temporary storage unit 3 to the main production line 1. The temporary storage unit 3 is not directly connected to the main production line 1. It is equipped with a material storage rack 31, a lifting assembly 32, and a material handling component 33. The lifting and material handling mechanism, consisting of the lifting assembly 32 and the material handling component 3, can handle material handling at any level of the material storage rack 31. This temporary storage layout not only ensures the continuity of the entire production process but also precisely controls the order in which materials enter the main production line 1, avoiding batch mixing and ensuring production efficiency. Furthermore, the layout is simple, requiring minimal additional equipment, effectively reducing production costs. The location of the temporary storage unit 3 can be selected based on the actual workshop space layout, offering high flexibility.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
