Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of assembly line confluence technology, and specifically relates to an assembly line confluence device. Background Technology

[0002] An assembly line, also known as a production line, is an industrial manufacturing method where each production unit focuses on handling only one specific segment of the work to improve efficiency. An assembly line is an effective combination of people and machines, fully embodying flexibility. It organically combines conveyor systems, accompanying fixtures, online dedicated machines, and testing equipment to meet the conveying requirements of various product types. In current technology, to improve production efficiency, converging devices are used to merge materials from two production lines into one, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN217101931U discloses a bottle-merging device for a production line, including a production line track that transports several bottles in a unidirectional manner. A bottle-merging device is installed on the production line track, with its inlet end connected to a diversion track. The diversion track transports bottles into the bottle-merging device. A first cylinder is installed at the inlet end of the bottle-merging device, and a second cylinder is installed at the outlet end. The control system of the bottle-merging device controls the first and second cylinders to stop the bottles within the device. The bottle-merging device sorts the bottles, and the bottles are then fed into the merging track through its outlet end. This invention uses the bottle-merging device to time and position the bottles transported by the diversion track, ensuring that the bottles are orderly fed into a single merging track.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, the existing mixing equipment usually achieves the mixing of materials on the same plane. When two production lines are at different heights, the mixing of materials cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a production line assembly device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A confluence device for an assembly line includes an upper conveyor line and a lower conveyor line. A portion of the upper conveyor line is located directly above the lower conveyor line. A confluence mechanism is assembled and connected to the lower conveyor line at the junction of the upper and lower conveyor lines. The confluence mechanism includes a first support frame and a second support frame located on both sides of the lower conveyor line. A rotary drive mechanism is assembled and connected to the upper side of the first support frame. The rotary drive mechanism is driven and connected to a rotary shaft. An upper flap and a lower flap are fixedly connected to the rotary shaft. The upper flap and the lower flap are perpendicular to each other. When the upper flap is located in the conveying direction of the upper conveyor line and parallel to the conveying surface of the upper conveyor line, the lower flap is located on the side close to the end face of the upper conveyor line.

[0008] Further specified, the upper sides of the first support frame and the second support frame are equipped with support seats, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support seats.

[0009] Further specifying, the rotary drive mechanism is a rotary cylinder, and the rotary cylinder is connected to the rotary shaft drive assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper conveyor line is a curved conveyor line.

[0011] Further specified, the lower conveyor line is a belt conveyor line, one end of the lower conveyor line is located below the upper conveyor line, and the other end of the lower conveyor line is inclined downward.

[0012] Further, the upper flap has a through groove in the middle, and multiple rollers are rotatably connected in the through groove of the upper flap.

[0013] Further specifying, protective railings are installed on both sides of the lower conveyor line, the protective railings including posts and baffles located on both sides of the lower conveyor line, and connecting rods connecting the posts and baffles.

[0014] Further specified, adjusting plates are assembled and connected to both sides of one end of the lower conveyor line, the adjusting plates are assembled and connected to the conveyor roller at one end of the lower conveyor line, the adjusting plates are provided with waist-shaped holes, and positioning holes are provided on both sides of the lower conveyor line.

[0015] Further specifying, a pull rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting plate, and a mounting base with a positioning hole is fixedly connected to the side of the lower conveyor line, with the pull rod located inside the positioning hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention combines two lines into one line, allowing them to share a single palletizing work area, thereby improving work efficiency, flexibility, safety, and economy.

[0018] This invention concentrates the materials from two production lines onto a single conveyor line, effectively preventing insufficient production capacity of the front-end production equipment from causing underutilization of the back-end palletizing operation and wasting the robot's efficient production capacity.

[0019] This invention can effectively improve conveying efficiency under a production strategy of double-opening production lines.

[0020] In this invention, if one production line fails or the production equipment needs maintenance, the other production line can still complete the production task independently, avoiding the shutdown of the entire production line; simultaneous construction of two lines can reduce the fatigue intensity of the production equipment, extend the equipment life, and improve production efficiency.

[0029] The components include: a merging mechanism 3, a first support frame 31, a second support frame 32, a rotary drive mechanism 33, a rotary cylinder 331, a rotary shaft 34, an upper flap 35, a lower flap 36, and a support base 37. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains; the terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as “comprising” or “including” mean that an element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as “connected” or “linked” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a confluence device for a production line includes an upper conveyor line 1 and a lower conveyor line 2. A portion of the upper conveyor line 1 is located directly above the lower conveyor line 2. A confluence mechanism 3 is assembled and connected to the lower conveyor line 2 at the junction of the upper conveyor line 1 and the lower conveyor line 2. The confluence mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 31 and a second support frame 32 located on both sides of the lower conveyor line 2. A rotary drive mechanism 33 is assembled and connected to the upper side of the first support frame 31. The rotary drive mechanism 33 is driven and connected to a rotary shaft 34. An upper flap 35 and a lower flap 36 are fixedly connected to the rotary shaft 34. The upper flap 35 and the lower flap 36 are perpendicular to each other. When the upper flap 35 is located in the conveying direction of the upper conveyor line 1 and is parallel to the conveying surface of the upper conveyor line 1, the lower flap 36 is located on the side close to the end face of the upper conveyor line 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper conveyor line 1 and the lower conveyor line 2 are used to transport materials. A portion of the upper conveyor line 1 is located directly above the lower conveyor line 2. This ensures that while the lower conveyor line 2 is transporting materials, the materials from the upper conveyor line 1 can reach the lower conveyor line 2. The lower conveyor line 2 then transports the materials from both lines along a single line, effectively saving transport space. The lower conveyor line 1 transports the materials to the rear-end palletizing operation, preventing insufficient production capacity of the front-end equipment from causing underutilization of the rear-end palletizing process. Simultaneously, it achieves the convergence of the upper and lower conveyor lines 1 and 2. The first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32 are used to mount the rotary drive mechanism 33, which is driven by a rotating shaft. 34 drives the upper flap 35 and lower flap 36 to rotate, so that the upper flap 35 and lower flap 36 are in different working states. When the upper flap 35 is horizontal, the lower flap 36 is vertical, blocking the material of the lower conveyor line. When the upper flap 35 is vertical, the lower flap 35 is horizontal, and the upper flap 35 blocks the material of the upper conveyor line 1. When one of the lines is not working, it can be blocked. When the lower conveyor line needs material, the lower conveyor line is opened to feed material, and the upper conveyor line is blocked to feed material. When the upper conveyor line 1 needs to transport material, the upper flap 35 blocks the material, thereby avoiding collision between the upper and lower materials during the convergence process.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Support seats 37 are mounted and connected to the upper sides of the first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32, and the rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the support seats 37. In this embodiment, the support seats 37 are used to support the rotating shaft 34, so that the rotating shaft 34 can rotate between the two support seats 37.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The rotary drive mechanism 33 is a rotary cylinder 331, which is connected to the rotary shaft 34 via a transmission assembly. In this embodiment, the rotary cylinder 331 controls the rotation of the rotary shaft 34, thereby controlling the rotation of the rotary shaft 34 according to the production situation at the front end of the conveyor line, so that the upper flap 35 or the lower flap 36 blocks the upper conveyor line 1 or the lower conveyor line 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The upper conveyor line 1 is a curved conveyor line. In this embodiment, the type of the upper conveyor line 1 is further restricted. The upper conveyor line 1 conveys materials by rotating conveyor rollers, and multiple conveyor rollers are driven by chains located at one end of the conveyor rollers; the upper conveyor line 1 can also be a straight conveyor line.

[0037] Reference Figure 4The lower conveyor line 2 is a belt conveyor line. One end of the lower conveyor line 2 is located below the upper conveyor line 1, and the other end of the lower conveyor line 2 is inclined downward. In this embodiment, the type and conveying height of the lower conveyor line 2 are further restricted. One end of the lower conveyor line 2 is inclined upward to lift the material upward, thereby lifting the material to a certain height.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 A through groove is provided in the middle of the upper flap 35, and multiple rollers 351 are rotatably connected in the through groove of the upper flap 35. In this embodiment, multiple rollers 351 are rotatably connected in the through groove 35 of the upper flap 35 to reduce the frictional force between the material and the upper flap 35 when the material is moving.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The lower conveyor line 2 is equipped with guardrails 21 on both sides. The guardrails 21 include posts 211 and baffles 212 located on both sides of the lower conveyor line 2. A connecting rod 213 connects the posts 211 and the baffles 212. In this embodiment, the guardrails 21 are used to prevent materials from moving out from both sides of the lower conveyor line 2 during the conveying process. The posts 211 are used to connect to the lower conveyor line 2 and the baffles 212. The baffles 212 and the connecting rod 213 are arranged perpendicularly. The connecting rod 213 is snapped into the upper end of the posts 211, so that the connecting rod 213 can move relative to the posts 211. The distance between the baffles 212 on both sides can be adjusted.

[0040] Reference Figure 4-5 Adjusting plates 22 are mounted on both sides of one end of the lower conveyor line 2. The adjusting plates 22 are mounted on the conveyor rollers at one end of the lower conveyor line 2. The adjusting plates 22 have oblong holes, and positioning holes are opened on both sides of the lower conveyor line 2. In this embodiment, the adjusting plates 22 are used to adjust the distance between the two conveyor rollers. Bolts are connected between the oblong holes and the positioning holes to fix the relative position of the adjusting plates 22 and the conveyor line 2.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 A pull rod 221 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting plate 22, and a mounting base 222 with a positioning hole is fixedly connected to the side of the lower conveyor line 2, with the pull rod 221 located inside the positioning hole. In this embodiment, the adjusting plate 22 is used to adjust the distance between the two conveyor rollers, thereby adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt and keeping it taut. The positioning hole in the mounting base 222 is used to keep the pull rod 221 moving in a straight line, preventing the position of the pull rod 221 from deviating during movement.

[0042] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
