Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing technology, and in particular to an intelligent temporary storage device and production line. Background Technology

[0002] In modern automated production processes, high-precision edge-fitting and positioning intelligent temporary storage equipment plays a crucial role in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and optimizing space utilization. In traditional production processes, panel conveying, positioning, and temporary storage often rely on manual operation or semi-automated equipment. This not only increases labor costs but also easily leads to insufficient positioning accuracy and low production efficiency due to human intervention. Furthermore, it is difficult to promptly recover panels in case of equipment failure, resulting in material waste. In addition, traditional temporary storage equipment typically lacks an effective hierarchical management mechanism, resulting in low space utilization and failing to adequately guarantee the cleanliness of the production environment, potentially affecting product yield. To address these issues, some automated panel storage devices have emerged in existing technologies.

[0003] However, existing panel storage equipment still has the following shortcomings. First, the level of automation is insufficient, and some processes still require manual intervention, which affects the smoothness of production. Second, the efficiency of panel recycling is low when the equipment fails, which can easily lead to panel accumulation or scrap. Furthermore, the structural design is simple and the utilization rate of vertical space is not high. In addition, the positioning accuracy and board movement stability of existing equipment are insufficient, which affects product quality. Utility Model Content

[0009] A clapping unit includes a clapping plate, which is rotatably connected to the frame and is driven to move the plate.

[0010] A sensing unit, disposed on the frame, is used to sense the position of the plate.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses an intelligent temporary storage device for temporarily storing boards, the intelligent temporary storage device including a frame 1;

[0034] The intelligent temporary storage device further includes a transmission unit, which is used to transmit the board along a first direction;

[0035] The intelligent temporary storage device also includes a temporary storage unit, which includes a temporary storage rack 20, a support component 21, and a lifting component 22. The lifting component 22 is installed on the frame 1, and the temporary storage rack 20 is connected to the output end of the lifting component 22.

[0036] The support component 21 is disposed on the temporary storage rack 1, and the plate is placed on the support component 21. In detail, the support component 2 has a layered structure along the height direction, so that when there are multiple plates, each plate can be stored independently without affecting each other, and the vertical space can be fully utilized.

[0037] Specifically, the temporary storage rack 20 can be driven to move along the height direction and move to dock with the transmission unit so that the plate can be transferred from the transmission unit to the support assembly 1;

[0038] The intelligent temporary storage device also includes a clapping unit, which includes a clapping plate 30. The clapping plate 30 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The clapping plate 30 is driven to move the plate, thereby positioning the plate and ensuring the stability of the plate's movement.

[0039] The intelligent temporary storage device also includes a sensing unit, which is disposed on the frame 1 to sense the position of the board and thus determine whether the board has reached the tapping position.

[0040] The intelligent temporary storage device also includes a control unit, which is communicatively connected to the transmission unit, the temporary storage unit, the tapping unit, and the sensing unit. The control unit acquires the position signal of the board through the sensing unit and outputs control signals to the transmission unit, the temporary storage unit, and the tapping unit.

[0041] Therefore, it can be understood that the intelligent temporary storage device protected by this utility model includes a frame, a temporary storage unit, a tapping unit, a sensing unit, and a control unit. In production mode, the temporary storage device can function as a conveyor. When the sensing unit senses a board, the control unit controls the tapping unit to tap the board, thereby accelerating the movement speed of the board in the transmission unit and improving transmission efficiency. When a problem occurs in the equipment at the front end, the control unit controls the temporary storage rack to move to dock with the transmission unit. It should be noted that the transmission unit docks with the bottom layer of the support assembly of the temporary storage rack. The sensing unit senses the position of the board. When the board reaches the temporary storage rack, the control unit controls the transmission unit to stop transmission. At this time, the tapping action pushes the board to the bottom layer of the support assembly of the temporary storage rack. Then, the lifting assembly moves, causing the temporary storage rack to descend. The transmission unit continues to move, bringing the next board to the temporary storage rack. Then, the tapping action pushes the next board to the support assembly. The lifting assembly causes the temporary storage rack to gradually descend until the temporary storage rack is full of boards. This invention's intelligent temporary storage device enables precise positioning and efficient temporary storage, while optimizing space utilization, thereby improving overall production efficiency and product yield. Furthermore, it can perform different functions according to needs. During production, it can transport boards, serving as a material transfer mechanism. Additionally, it can automatically perform temporary storage operations on boards as required, reducing manual intervention, improving board recycling efficiency, preventing scrap due to equipment failure, and ensuring the quality of subsequently processed products.

[0043] Furthermore, the support assembly 21 includes a first support bar 211 and a second support bar 212 symmetrically arranged on the temporary storage rack 20. Specifically, multiple first support bars 211 are spaced apart along the height direction, and the number of second support bars 212 is the same as that of the first support bars 211. In this way, the two side edges of the plate are respectively placed on the first support bar 211 and the second support bar 212.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting assembly 22 includes a base 220, a lifting drive motor 221, and a screw assembly.

The screw assembly includes a threaded rod 222 and a connecting block 223 screwed to the threaded rod 222. The base 223 is connected to the connecting block 223, and the temporary storage basket 20 is assembled on the base 220.

[0045] To further accurately determine the position of the board, the sensing unit includes at least one sensor 4, which is disposed on the rack and is positioned opposite to the temporary storage rack 20, thereby sensing whether the board has reached the temporary storage rack 20 and outputting a sensing signal to the control unit.

[0046] Specifically, the sensing element 4 includes, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor.

[0047] In detail, the clapper unit also includes a drive cylinder connected to the clapper 30 to drive the clapper 30 to move. Preferably, the clapper 30 is hinged to the frame 1, and the output end of the drive cylinder is connected to the clapper 30 to drive the clapper 30 to move.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 1 is further provided with a housing, which is installed on the frame 1 and forms a cavity with the frame 1. The transmission unit, the temporary storage unit, the sensing unit and the tapping unit are housed in the cavity. The housing is also provided with an inlet and an outlet, which are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction so that the plate can enter and flow out of the cavity.

[0049] In detail, the intelligent temporary storage device also includes a fan filter unit 5, which is located on the top of the frame 1 and communicates with the cavity to filter the air entering the cavity, thereby purifying the air environment inside the intelligent temporary storage device and meeting high-cleanliness production requirements. Preferably, the fan filter unit 5 uses an HFU fan to achieve high-efficiency filtration, filtering out more than 99.99% of particles in the air.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the transmission unit uses a magnetic ring drive to achieve material transmission. Magnetic ring drive is a method that uses permanent magnets or electromagnetic rings to generate a controllable magnetic field to achieve non-contact transmission, positioning or braking. Its advantages are that there is no friction loss and it is suitable for clean environments.
