Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, specifically to a transfer device for automotive parts manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive parts manufacturing involves multiple processes such as stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly. These processes are often located in different areas. To facilitate this, transfer devices are needed. These devices can quickly transport automotive parts from one process to the next, avoiding the time wasted by manual handling, ensuring continuous operation of the production line, and improving the overall production efficiency of the automotive parts manufacturing process.
[0003] Current automotive parts manufacturing transfer devices often require conveyor belts to transfer parts one by one, resulting in low efficiency and unsuitability for continuous loading, unloading, and transfer processes with varying quantities and distances. This leads to limited applicability. Therefore, we propose a novel transfer device for automotive parts manufacturing that offers high flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer device for manufacturing automotive parts, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer device for manufacturing automotive parts, comprising a base, on one side of which a PLC controller and a buzzer alarm are sequentially installed; a drive housing is evenly mounted on the bottom of the base; a DC motor is mounted on one end of the drive housing, and a caster is connected to the output end of the DC motor; a hydraulic telescopic cylinder is mounted on the other side of the drive housing, and a rubber support is mounted on the output end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder; a circuit board, a power monitoring module, a switch, and a battery are sequentially installed inside the base; telescopic cylinders are fixed at both ends of the top of the base; an automotive parts transfer box is mounted on the top of the telescopic cylinder; a replaceable inner box is installed inside the automotive parts transfer box; a fixing frame is mounted on the top of the fixing frame; a motor is mounted on the top of the fixing frame; an industrial camera is connected to the output end of the motor; and a damping bearing is provided between the industrial camera and the fixing frame.
[0006] Preferably, there are four drive housings, which are distributed sequentially at the four corners of the bottom of the base.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the drive housing is provided with mounting blocks that engage with the base, and screws are provided evenly between the mounting blocks and the base.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the caster is equipped with a transfer rail, and the caster and the transfer rail form a sliding connection.
[0009] Preferably, each end of the transfer track is provided with a slide rail unit, and the top of the slide rail unit is provided with a cavity that matches the caster.
[0010] Preferably, mounting plates are evenly fixed on both sides of the bottom of the slide rail unit, and screw holes are evenly provided on the mounting plates.
[0011] Preferably, the output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the automotive parts transfer box via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure, and the fixing frame and the automotive parts transfer box are connected to the automotive parts transfer box via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure.
[0012] Preferably, both ends of the replaceable inner box are evenly provided with fixing strips, and the inner side wall of the automotive parts transfer box is provided with fixing slots that match the fixing strips.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) The transfer device for automotive parts manufacturing optimizes its structure by installing transfer rails, etc. On the one hand, users can select an appropriate number of slide rail units to assemble into transfer rails according to actual needs, and place the transfer rails between the processing steps of automotive parts that need to be transferred. Then, through mounting plates and screw holes, screws are used to fix the transfer rails to the operating ground. This makes the device more flexible by setting up a assembleable slide rail structure. On the other hand, the DC motor on the drive housing can start and drive the casters to rotate, thereby driving the casters to move horizontally in the cavity inside the corresponding transfer rail, realizing the automated transfer of automotive parts transfer boxes installed on it between two automotive parts manufacturing processes. The battery inside the base can be independently powered, and the power monitoring module can monitor the power value of the battery in real time and feed it back to the PLC controller. When the power is too low, the buzzer alarm will be triggered to sound an alarm, reminding the staff to charge in time. The PLC controller will change the positive and negative connection direction of the DC motor power supply through the switching switch to realize the switching of forward and reverse states. This makes the device move back and forth on the transfer rail, making it more practical.
[0015] (2) The transfer device for automotive parts manufacturing optimizes its performance by installing a replaceable inner box. On the one hand, an independent replaceable inner box is set up for each automotive parts processing step. The robotic arm or worker installed in the step can use the plug-in action formed by the fixed strip and the fixed slot to transfer the replaceable inner box full of parts in the corresponding step into the automotive parts transfer box. When the automotive parts transfer box slides on the transfer track with the drive housing, the industrial camera will capture and analyze the surrounding environment in real time. When the corresponding processing step is detected, the PLC controller will control the device to stop to perform an overall loading and unloading operation of the parts. On the other hand, the two telescopic cylinders on the top of the base can be activated to drive the automotive parts transfer box to automatically lift up and down. This makes it easy for it to be lowered to a lower position when moving horizontally to avoid obstruction, and it can be automatically lifted when it is close to the processing table to facilitate the loading and unloading of parts and improve work efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a transfer device for manufacturing automotive parts, including a base 12, on one side of which a PLC controller 3 and a buzzer alarm 11 are installed in sequence, and a drive housing 2 is evenly clamped at the bottom of the base 12. A DC motor 19 is installed at one end of the drive housing 2, and a caster 20 is connected to the output end of the DC motor 19. A hydraulic telescopic cylinder 22 is installed on the other side of the drive housing 2, and a rubber support foot 21 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 22.
[0024] A transfer rail 1 is installed at the bottom of the caster 20, and a sliding connection is formed between the caster 20 and the transfer rail 1;
[0025] The two ends of the transfer track 1 are evenly provided with slide rail units 24, and the top of the slide rail unit 24 is provided with a cavity that matches the caster 20.
[0026] Mounting plates 25 are evenly fixed on both sides of the bottom of the slide rail unit 24, and screw holes are evenly provided on the mounting plates 25.
[0027] When in use, users can select an appropriate number of slide rail units 24 to assemble into transfer rail 1 according to actual needs, and place the transfer rail 1 between the processing steps of automotive parts that need to be transferred. Then, through the mounting plate 25 and screw holes, screws are used to fix the transfer rail 1 to the operating ground. This makes the device more flexible by setting up an assembleable slide rail structure.
[0028] The base 12 contains, in sequence, a circuit board 15, a power monitoring module 16, a switch 17, and a battery 18.
[0029] Telescopic cylinders 10 are fixed at both ends of the top of the base 12. A car parts transfer box 4 is installed on the top of the telescopic cylinder 10. A replaceable inner box 9 is installed inside the car parts transfer box 4.
[0030] When in use, the DC motor 19 on the drive housing 2 starts, which drives the caster 20 to rotate. This causes the caster 20 to move horizontally within the cavity inside the corresponding transfer track 1, enabling the automated transfer of the automotive parts transfer box 4 installed on it between two automotive parts manufacturing processes. The battery 18 inside the base 12 can be independently powered, and the power monitoring module 16 can monitor the power value of the battery 18 in real time and feed it back to the PLC controller 3. When the power is too low, the buzzer alarm 11 will be triggered to sound an alarm, reminding the staff to charge it in time. The PLC controller 3 will change the positive and negative connection direction of the power supply of the DC motor 19 through the switch 17, realizing the switching between forward and reverse states. This allows the device to move back and forth on the transfer track 1, making it more practical.
[0031] A mounting bracket 5 is installed on the top of the automotive parts transfer box 4. A motor 6 is installed at the top of the mounting bracket 5. An industrial camera 7 is connected to the output end of the motor 6. A damping bearing 8 is provided between the industrial camera 7 and the mounting bracket 5.
[0032] Both ends of the replaceable inner box 9 are evenly provided with fixing strips 13, and the inner side wall of the automotive parts transfer box 4 is provided with fixing slots 14 that match the fixing strips 13.
[0033] In use, each automotive part processing step is equipped with an independent replaceable inner box 9. The robotic arm or worker installed at this step can use the plug-in action formed by the fixing strip 13 and the fixing slot 14 to replace the replaceable inner box 9 filled with parts at the corresponding step into the automotive part transfer box 4. As the automotive part transfer box 4 slides on the transfer track 1 with the drive housing 2, the industrial camera 7 will capture and analyze the surrounding environment in real time. When the corresponding processing step is detected, the PLC controller 3 will control the device to stop in order to perform an overall loading and unloading operation of the parts.
[0034] There are four drive housings 2, which are distributed sequentially at the four corners of the bottom of the base 12.
[0035] The top of the drive housing 2 is evenly provided with assembly blocks 23 that engage with the base 12, and screws are evenly provided between the assembly blocks 23 and the base 12.
[0036] In use, the user can use the interlocking connection structure between the assembly block 23 and the base 12, along with the locking effect of the screws, to independently disassemble and maintain the four drive housings 2 at the bottom of the base 12.
[0037] The output end of the telescopic cylinder 10 is connected to the automotive parts transfer box 4 via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure. The fixing bracket 5 and the automotive parts transfer box 4 are connected to the automotive parts transfer box 4 via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure.
[0038] In this embodiment, the user first selects an appropriate number of slide rail units 24 to assemble a transfer track 1 according to actual needs. The transfer track 1 is then placed between the processing steps where automotive parts need to be transferred. The transfer track 1 is then fixed to the operating surface using screws via mounting plates 25 and screw holes. This modular slide rail structure enhances the device's flexibility. The DC motor 19 on the drive housing 2 starts, causing the casters 20 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the casters 20 to move horizontally within the corresponding cavity of the transfer track 1, automating the transfer of the automotive parts transfer box 4 between two automotive parts manufacturing processes. The battery 18 inside the base 12 provides independent power, and the power monitoring module 16 monitors the battery level in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller 3. When the battery level is low, the buzzer alarm 11 is triggered, reminding staff to charge the battery promptly. The PLC controller 3 also uses a switch 17 to change the power of the DC motor 19. The positive and negative polarity of the source allows for switching between forward and reverse states, enabling the device to move back and forth on the transfer track 1, thus enhancing its practicality. Furthermore, each automotive part processing step is equipped with an independent, replaceable inner box 9. The robotic arm or worker installed at this step can use the insertion action formed by the fixing strip 13 and the fixing slot 14 to move the replaceable inner box 9 filled with parts from the corresponding step into the automotive part transfer box 4. As the automotive part transfer box 4 slides on the transfer track 1 along with the drive housing 2, the industrial camera 7 captures and analyzes the surrounding environment in real time. When the corresponding processing step is detected, the PLC controller 3 will control the device to stop, allowing for a complete loading and unloading operation of the parts. In addition, the two telescopic cylinders 10 on the top of the base 12 are activated, which can automatically raise and lower the automotive part transfer box 4. This allows it to be lowered to a lower position during horizontal movement to avoid obstruction, and can also be automatically raised when it is close to the processing table to facilitate the loading and unloading of parts, further improving the convenience of operation.
