Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling conveying technology for sprayed products, and specifically to an automatic conveying device for spraying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is a core component of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), and its performance directly affects the cell's output power and lifespan. Spraying catalyst onto the proton exchange membrane (PEM) surface is one of the key processes in MEA fabrication, primarily used to construct the catalyst layer (CL) to enable electrochemical reactions (such as hydrogen oxidation at the anode and oxygen reduction at the cathode).

[0003] In the proton exchange membrane spraying production line, the proton exchange membrane product tooling needs to be conveyed to the automatic spraying machine for spraying operation by a conveying device. However, the conveying device and the spraying machine are relatively long. If the conveying device and the spraying machine are arranged in a straight line, the proton exchange membrane spraying production line will be too long and difficult to arrange in terms of space. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic conveying device for spraying equipment, enabling it to automatically convey product tooling to the spraying machine and to be arranged side-by-side with the spraying machine, saving space.

[0005] This utility model provides an automatic conveying device for a spraying equipment, comprising:

[0006] A longitudinal conveying mechanism is arranged side by side with the spraying machine and is used to convey the product tooling from the tail end to the head end.

[0007] A transverse conveying mechanism includes a linear conveying guide rail that is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the longitudinal conveying mechanism and extends from the top of the first end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism to the feed port of the spraying machine, and a conveying bracket disposed on the lower side of the linear conveying guide rail and capable of conveying along the linear conveying guide rail. The conveying bracket has two side plates parallel to the conveying direction of the linear conveying guide rail and a support plate that bends inward from the lower side edges of the two side plates. The two side plates can accommodate a product tooling, and the support plate on the lower side of the two side plates can support both sides of the product tooling.

[0008] The lifting mechanism is capable of lifting the product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveyor to the height of the conveyor tray, so that the product tooling is aligned with the side end between the two side plates of the conveyor tray.

[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinal conveying mechanism adopts a belt conveyor, chain conveyor, or roller conveyor.

[0010] Furthermore, the linear conveying guide rail includes a slide rail, a slider slidably mounted on the lower side of the slide rail, and a conveying drive mechanism for driving the slider to slide along the slide rail, and the conveying bracket is fixed on the lower side of the slider.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveying drive mechanism includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the slide rail, a conveyor belt sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and a drive motor for driving the driving wheel to rotate, with the slider fixed on the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the side ends of the two side plates of the conveying bracket are bent outward to form guide openings.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the longitudinal conveying mechanism and can support the lifting brackets that extend from both sides of the product tooling on both sides of the longitudinal conveying mechanism, as well as a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting brackets to rise and fall.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism adopts a lifting cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the portion of the product tooling extending out of each side of the longitudinal conveying mechanism includes two support rods, and the upper side of the lifting bracket on each side is provided with two limiting slots that cooperate one-to-one with the two support rods on the corresponding side of the product tooling.

[0016] Furthermore, a position sensor is provided at the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism to detect the product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0018] During operation, the product fixture is conveyed to the top of the lifting mechanism via a longitudinal conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism then raises the product fixture, and the linear conveying guide drives the conveyor bracket to move towards the product fixture being lifted by the lifting mechanism until the product fixture is engaged between the two side plates of the conveyor bracket. Then, the lifting mechanism lowers, and the support plates on the underside of the two side plates support the two sides of the product fixture. The linear conveying guide then drives the conveyor bracket to move towards the feed inlet of the spraying machine. After the conveyor bracket moves to the feed inlet of the spraying machine, the receiving mechanism inside the spraying machine lifts the product fixture on the conveyor bracket, and the linear conveying guide drives the conveyor bracket to move outside the spraying machine, thus completing one conveying of the product fixture.

[0019] The longitudinal conveying mechanism of this application is arranged side by side with the spraying machine, which can save space. The product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism can be transferred to the transverse conveying mechanism and then conveyed to the spraying machine through the transverse conveying mechanism, which can automatically convey the product tooling to the spraying machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an automatic conveying device for a spraying equipment, including a longitudinal conveying mechanism 100, a transverse conveying mechanism 200, and a lifting mechanism 300.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The longitudinal conveyor 200 is arranged side by side with the spraying machine 500 to convey the product tooling from the tail end to the head end.

[0032] Alternatively, the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 may be a belt conveyor, a chain conveyor, or a roller conveyor.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transverse conveying mechanism 200 includes a linear conveying guide rail 210 that is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 and extends from the top of the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 to the feed port of the spraying machine 500, and a conveying bracket 220 located on the lower side of the linear conveying guide rail 210 and capable of conveying along the linear conveying guide rail 210. The conveying bracket 220 has two side plates 221 parallel to the conveying direction of the linear conveying guide rail 210 and a support plate 222 that bends inward from the lower side of the two side plates 221. The two side plates 221 can accommodate the product tooling, and the support plate 222 on the lower side of the two side plates 221 can support both sides of the product tooling.

[0034] Specifically, the linear conveyor rail 210 includes a slide rail 211, a slider 212 slidably mounted on the lower side of the slide rail 211, and a conveying drive mechanism for driving the slider 212 to slide along the slide rail 211. The conveying bracket 220 is fixed on the lower side of the slider 212.

[0035] Optionally, the conveying drive mechanism includes a driving wheel 213 and a driven wheel 214 respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the slide rail 211, a conveyor belt 216 sleeved between the driving wheel 213 and the driven wheel 214, and a drive motor 215 for driving the driving wheel 213 to rotate. The slider 212 is fixed on the conveyor belt 216.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive motor 215 can drive the conveyor belt 216 to rotate in both directions, thereby causing the slider 212 to move left and right along the slide rail 211, and then driving the conveyor bracket 220 to move along the linear conveyor guide rail 210.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The lifting mechanism 300 can lift the product tooling that is being conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveyor mechanism 100 to the height of the conveyor bracket 220, so that the product tooling is aligned with the side end between the two side plates 221 of the conveyor bracket 220.

[0038] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 300 includes lifting brackets 310 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 and capable of supporting the parts of the product tooling that extend out of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100, and a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting brackets 310 to lift. The lifting drive mechanism can be a lifting cylinder 320. In this way, by controlling the synchronous extension and retraction of the lifting cylinders 320 on both sides, the product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 can be lifted and lowered.

[0039] Optionally, the portion of the product fixture extending out of each side of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 includes two support rods. The upper side of each lifting bracket 310 is provided with two limiting slots 311 that cooperate one-to-one with the two support rods on the corresponding side of the product fixture. When the lifting mechanism 300 lifts the product fixture, the support rods on both sides of the product fixture are respectively locked in the limiting slots 311 on both sides.

[0040] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The side ends of the two side plates 221 of the conveyor bracket 220 are bent outward to form guide openings 223, which serve to guide the product tooling to be inserted between the two side plates 221.

[0041] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 is provided with a position sensor 400 at its head end, which is used to detect the product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100, so as to improve the accuracy of the product tooling conveying position. The position sensor 400 is preferably a proximity sensor.

[0042] During operation, the product fixture is conveyed to the top of the lifting mechanism 300 via the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100. The lifting mechanism 300 lifts the product fixture, and the linear conveying guide rail 210 drives the conveying bracket 220 to move towards the product fixture lifted by the lifting mechanism 300 until the product fixture is inserted between the two side plates 221 of the conveying bracket 220. Then, the lifting mechanism 300 lowers the product fixture, and the support plates 222 on the lower side of the two side plates 221 support the two sides of the product fixture. Then, the linear conveying guide rail 210 drives the conveying bracket 220 to move towards the feed port of the spraying machine 500. After the conveying bracket 220 moves to the feed port of the spraying machine 500, the receiving mechanism inside the spraying machine 500 lifts the product fixture on the conveying bracket 220. The linear conveying guide rail 210 drives the conveying bracket 220 to move outside the spraying machine 500, thus completing one conveying of the product fixture.

[0043] The longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 and the spraying machine 500 are arranged side by side in this application, which can save space. The product tooling conveyed to the head end of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 100 can be transferred to the transverse conveying mechanism 200 and then conveyed to the spraying machine 500 through the transverse conveying mechanism 200, which can automatically convey the product tooling to the spraying machine 500.

[0044] It is understood that the conveying device of this embodiment can be used in a proton exchange membrane spraying production line, but is not limited to a proton exchange membrane spraying production line. Other similar spraying production lines should also be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
