Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tray transfer, and particularly relates to a tray transfer compartment. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing industry, workpieces are typically carried on pallets awaiting processing. To avoid continuity issues caused by directly loading pallets, simple transfer compartments are usually set up for temporary storage and transfer of pallets, achieving a buffer transition between the entire production line and the processing station, thus ensuring the continuity of the production line to a certain extent.

[0003] However, existing pallet transfer solutions, with their simple transfer warehouses, only manage the transfer of pallets, completely neglecting the collection and handling of placement pallets. When in use, pallets are placed on placement pallets for overall transfer. Once the pallet is transported to the processing station, it detaches from the placement pallet, and the workpiece is taken away for processing. At this point, the detached placement pallets cannot be systematically collected due to the lack of a unified collection mechanism. Placement pallets are simply placed haphazardly around the transfer warehouse or in workshop corners, occupying significant production space, affecting workshop layout and material transport flow, and making them difficult to locate and retrieve quickly. When placement pallets need to be reused, staff must spend considerable time searching for suitable pallets, resulting in a significant reduction in pallet loading efficiency and delays in production.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides a tray transfer chamber, including a frame 1, and a conveyor roller assembly 2, a lifting frame 3, a tray storage rack 4, a transfer platform 5, and a transfer assembly 6 disposed on the frame 1. The transfer platform 5 is located behind the conveyor roller assembly 2. The transfer assembly 6 is used to transfer the tray 8 from the conveyor roller assembly 2 to the transfer platform 5. The tray storage rack 4 is disposed at the rear end of the conveyor roller assembly 2 in the conveying direction, and the storage area of ​​the tray storage rack is located above the conveyor roller assembly 2 and the lifting frame 3. The lifting frame 3 is disposed below the conveyor roller assembly 2, and its lifting end can extend through the conveyor roller assembly 2 to the storage area of ​​the tray storage rack 4. The conveyor roller assembly 2 conveys the placement tray 7 together with the tray 8 and the workpiece on it from front to back until it is conveyed to the rear end. Then, the transfer assembly 6 transfers the tray 8 on the placement tray 7 together with the workpiece to the transfer platform 5. After the carrier tray 8 detaches from the placement tray 7, the lifting frame 3 rises, pushing the placement tray 7 upwards until it is stored in the storage rack 4. Then, the lifting frame 3 moves downwards to reset. This not only achieves the transfer of the carrier tray 8, providing a buffer transition and ensuring the continuity of the production line, but also, through the combination of the lifting frame 3 and the storage rack 4, enables the unified collection and orderly storage of the placement trays 7. This avoids the space waste and inconvenience caused by the random stacking of placement trays 7, making the workshop layout more rational. The systematic storage of placement trays 7 by the storage rack 4 allows workers to quickly locate and retrieve the required placement trays 7, reducing search time and shortening the loading cycle of the carrier tray 8. Furthermore, the orderly storage of placement trays 7 reduces mutual collisions and wear, extending their service life and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The storage rack 4 is located above the conveyor roller assembly 2 and the lifting frame 3, adopting a three-dimensional spatial layout that effectively utilizes the vertical space of the equipment and reduces the floor space required. The coordinated design of the lifting frame 3 and the conveying roller assembly 2 allows the placement tray 7 to be directly conveyed upward to the storage rack 4 via the lifting frame 3 after the carrier tray 8 is detached, without the need for additional transportation equipment, thus simplifying the logistics path.

[0037] The conveyor roller assembly 2 includes a first mounting frame 21, a conveyor roller body 22, a limiting plate 23, and threaded fasteners 24. The conveyor roller body 22 is mounted on the first mounting frame 21. The first mounting frame 21 has first strip-shaped holes 25 on both the left and right sides of its top. The limiting plate 23 has second strip-shaped holes 26. The limiting plate 23 is detachably fixed to the top of the first mounting frame 21 by threaded fasteners 24, which pass through the first strip-shaped holes 25 and 26. The limiting plate 23 is located above the conveyor roller body 22. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 23 is only located on the left side of the top of the first mounting frame 21. In other embodiments, it may be only located on the right side of the top of the first mounting frame 21, or the limiting plate 23 may be located on both the left and right sides. Through the cooperation of the first strip-shaped holes 25, the second strip-shaped holes 26, and the threaded fasteners 24, the left and right positions of the limiting plate 23 can be adjusted to adapt to the operational needs of placement trays 7 of different widths. In this embodiment, the threaded fasteners 24 are a combination of bolts and nuts.

[0038] The rear end of the conveyor roller body 22 in the conveying direction has a clearance space 27 for the lifting end of the lifting frame 3 to pass through. The clearance space 27 allows the lifting frame 3 to move freely, ensuring the normal operation of the lifting frame 3 and the conveyor roller body 22.

[0039] Both the limiting plate 23 and the first mounting frame 21 have guide inclined walls 28 at their front ends, which are located above the conveying roller body 22. The guide inclined walls 28 serve to guide the conveying process.

[0040] The conveyor roller assembly 2 also includes a first telescopic cylinder 29 and a pusher block 210. The first telescopic cylinder 29 is fixed to the left side of the top of the first mounting frame 21, and the pusher block 210 is fixed to the inner end of the first telescopic cylinder 29. The pusher block 210 is located above the conveyor roller body 22. In other embodiments, the first telescopic cylinder 29 may be fixed to the right side of the top of the first mounting frame 21, or the first telescopic cylinder 29 may be fixed to both the left and right sides of the top of the first mounting frame 21. When the placement tray 7 is conveyed to the rear end of the conveyor roller body, the conveyor roller body stops moving. Then, the first telescopic cylinder 29 extends, driving the pusher block 210 to move to the right, pushing the placement tray 7 to the right so that it is located directly below the storage area.

[0041] The lifting frame 3 includes a second telescopic cylinder 31, a first connecting seat 32, a vertical rod 33, a second connecting seat 34, a linear bearing 35, a guide shaft 36, and a support bar 37. The second telescopic cylinder 31 is fixed to the frame 1. The first connecting seat 32 is fixed to the top of the second telescopic cylinder 31. The vertical rod 33 is fixed to the first connecting seat 32. The second connecting seat 34 is fixed to the bottom of the vertical rod 33. The guide shaft 36 is fixed to the second connecting seat 34. The linear bearing 35 is fixed to the frame 1. The top of the guide shaft 36 passes through the linear bearing 35 and is fixed to the support bar 37. When it is necessary to push the placement tray 7 upward, the second telescopic cylinder 31 extends, driving the first connecting seat 32 upward, causing the vertical rod 33 to move upward, driving the second connecting seat 34 upward, which in turn drives the guide shaft 36 upward, causing the support bar 37 to move upward, thus pushing the placement tray 7 upward. The cooperation of the linear bearing 35 and the guide shaft 36 improves the stability of lifting. In this embodiment, there are four linear bearings 35 and four guide shafts 36. The four guide shafts 36 are distributed at the four corners of the second connecting seat 34, which further improves the smoothness of lifting.

[0042] The storage rack 4 includes a second mounting frame 41, a torsion spring shaft 42, a hinge seat 43, and a swing block 44. The second mounting frame 41 is fixed to both sides of the frame 1 of the conveyor roller assembly 2. The second mounting frame 41 is fixed to the hinge seat 43. The swing block 44 is hinged to the hinge seat 43 via the torsion spring shaft 42 and is located above the conveyor roller assembly 2. Initially, under the action of the torsion spring shaft 42, the swing block 44 is horizontally abutting against the second mounting frame 41. As the placement tray 7 is pushed upwards, the placement tray 7 pushes the swing block 44 upwards until the placement tray 7 moves above the swing block 44. The swing block 44 then swings downwards to reset under the action of the torsion spring shaft 42. Then, the support bar moves downwards, and under the action of gravity, the placement tray 7 moves downwards until it is placed on top of the swing block 44. This process is repeated to complete the orderly storage of the placement tray 7. This design eliminates the need for complex drive mechanisms, relying instead on mechanical linkage and gravity. This not only simplifies the storage process of the placement tray 7 and reduces equipment costs, but also improves space utilization. At the same time, it ensures storage stability, effectively preventing the placement tray 7 from slipping or stacking haphazardly, and greatly enhances the automation and practicality of the tray transfer compartment.

[0043] The storage rack 4 also includes limiting posts 45, which can be detachably connected to both the front and rear sides of each second mounting rack 41. The limiting posts 45 limit the placement trays 7, ensuring that the placement trays 7 are effectively stacked and preventing them from tipping over during stacking.

[0044] The transfer platform 5 includes a first platform 51 and a second platform 52. The first platform 51 is located between the second platform 52 and the conveyor roller assembly 2. The first platform 51 includes a first plate 521 and a second plate 522. The second plate 522 is fixed to the top of the first plate 521. The top surface of the first plate 521 is flush with the conveying surface of the conveyor roller assembly 2, and the top surface of the second plate 522 is flush with the top surface of the second platform 52. When the placement tray 7 is conveyed to the rear end of the conveyor roller body 22, the rear end of the placement tray 7 abuts against the front end of the first plate 521, preventing the placement tray 7 from moving further backward and waiting to be pushed upward by the lifting frame 3. By ensuring that the top surface of the second plate 522 is flush with the top surface of the second platform 52, the tray 8, along with the workpiece, is transferred from the second plate 522 to the second platform 52. When the rear end of the placement tray 7 abuts against the front end of the first plate 521, the bearing surface of the placement tray 7 is also flush with the top surface of the second plate 522, ensuring that the carrier tray 8, along with the workpiece, is transferred from the placement tray 7 to the second plate 522. The transfer platform in this embodiment is connected to a double-end grinding machine and is used in an oil mist environment.

[0045] The material transfer assembly 6 includes a first linear module 61, a second linear module 62, a slide cylinder 63, and a push column 64. The first linear module 61 is fixed to the frame 1. The second linear module 62 is fixed to the moving end of the first linear module 61. The slide cylinder 63 is fixed to the moving end of the second linear module 62. The push column 64 is fixed to the sliding end of the slide cylinder 63. The push column 64 is located above the transfer platform 5 and the conveyor roller assembly 2. During material transfer, the first linear module 61 drives the second linear module 62 and the slide cylinder 63 to move forward to above the placement tray 7. Then, the slide cylinder 63 drives the push column 64 to move downward to the center hole in the middle of the carrier tray 8. The first linear module 61 drives the push column 64 to move backward together with the carrier tray 8 and the workpiece, transferring the carrier tray 8 and the workpiece to the first platform 51, and then to the second platform 52. Then, according to the requirements, the first linear module 61 stops moving at a suitable position, and the second linear module 62 drives the carrier tray 8 and the workpiece to move to the left to place the carrier tray 8.
