Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of caching device technology, and in particular relates to a caching machine device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the development of automated equipment, automated assembly line operations have become the norm in production. Automated assembly line production requires the cooperation of upstream and downstream equipment to complete the entire production line. However, when the capacity of upstream and downstream equipment is mismatched, such as when the upstream equipment has excess capacity while the downstream equipment cannot keep up with the upstream equipment's capacity, or when the upstream equipment has insufficient capacity while the downstream equipment has excess capacity while the upstream equipment cannot keep up with the downstream equipment's capacity, it will lead to abnormalities in the upstream and downstream equipment, thereby causing the entire production line to be interrupted. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is the mismatch in capacity between upstream and downstream equipment, which often occurs in existing automated production lines, leading to abnormalities in upstream and downstream equipment and causing interruptions in the entire production line. This utility model provides a buffer machine.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] A buffer machine is provided, comprising a first machine and a second machine arranged side by side. The first machine has a conveyor line unit composed of multiple magnetic wheels along its length. One side of the conveyor line unit is a liftable inlet for receiving materials, controlled by a first lifting component. The other side of the conveyor line unit is a first lateral movement component. A transport component is provided above the conveyor line unit. A first alignment component is provided at the conveyor line unit below the transport component. A second alignment component is provided at the first lateral movement component. A transfer component aligned with the inlet is provided on the edge of the second machine near the first machine. The transfer component includes a synchronous belt drive component and a transfer platform driven by the synchronous belt drive component. The transfer platform has a second lateral movement component. Multiple storage components are sequentially provided on the edge of the second machine away from the first machine along its length.
[0006] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a robotic arm for picking up materials, a second lifting assembly for driving the robotic arm to move up and down, and a third traversing assembly for driving the robotic arm to move laterally.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the storage components includes a hopper and a third lifting component for controlling the lifting and lowering of the hopper. The hopper includes a side frame, and a plurality of spaced connecting plates are vertically arranged on the side of the side frame opposite to the transfer component. A plurality of locking posts are horizontally symmetrically arranged from top to bottom on the side of each connecting plate opposite to the transfer component. The third lifting component includes a fixing plate disposed on the side frame of the second machine platform away from the first machine platform. A lead screw driven by a motor for lifting and lowering the hopper is vertically arranged at the middle position of the side of the fixing plate opposite to the hopper.
[0008] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned locking posts is fitted with multiple anti-static O-rings.
[0009] Furthermore, a material stop is provided at the edge of the first transverse component.
[0010] Furthermore, multiple anti-static dust-free rollers are respectively fitted onto the magnetic wheel.
[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided on each side of the top of the second machine tool, located along the length of the second machine tool.
[0012] The buffer machine equipment provided in the above embodiments of this utility model has a first machine base with a conveyor unit along its length. One side of the conveyor unit is a feeding section, and the other side is a first transverse component. A transport component is provided above the conveyor unit. A first alignment component is provided at the conveyor unit below the transport component, and a second alignment component is provided at the first transverse component. A transfer component aligned with the feeding section is provided on the edge of the second machine base near the first machine base. The transfer component includes a synchronous belt drive component and a transfer platform driven by the synchronous belt drive component. The transfer platform is provided with a second transverse component. Multiple storage components are sequentially provided on the edge of the second machine base away from the first machine base along its length. In this way, when material arrives from the upstream equipment, the feeding section rises under the drive of the first lifting component to receive the material, and then falls so that the product flows into the area below the transport component. The material handling unit has a specific feeding position. When a product enters the feeding position below the conveying component, the control program determines whether buffering is required. If buffering is needed, the conveying component moves the product to the transfer platform in the transfer component. The transfer platform then stores the product in the storage component via the second lateral movement component. When buffering ends and the product needs to be retrieved from the storage component, the transfer platform enters the storage component via the second lateral movement component to retrieve the product, and the conveying component moves it from the transfer platform to the feeding section. In this way, when the upstream equipment has excess capacity, the buffering machine provided by this invention can buffer the product. When the upstream capacity is too low, the buffered product is then put into the downstream equipment for production. This significantly reduces the impact of production line equipment malfunctions on production and effectively solves the problem of mismatched capacity between upstream and downstream equipment that often occurs in existing automated production lines, leading to malfunctions in upstream and downstream equipment and causing production line interruptions.

[0024] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] Please refer to the above as well. Figures 1 to 10An embodiment of this utility model provides a buffer machine device, including a first machine platform 100 and a second machine platform 200 arranged side by side. The first machine platform 100 has a conveyor assembly unit 300 composed of multiple magnetic wheels 301 along its length. The multiple magnetic wheels 301 form a magnetic wheel group for conveying. One side of the conveyor assembly unit 300 is a liftable feeding section 303 for automatic material receiving, controlled by a first lifting component 302. The first lifting component 302 is located below the feeding section 303 to facilitate lifting and lowering the feeding section 303. The other side of the conveyor assembly unit 300 is a first transverse component 304 for automatic material unloading. This system improves production efficiency. A conveying assembly 400 is located above the conveyor line unit 300. A first alignment component 305 is located below the conveyor line unit 300 below the conveying assembly 400, and a second alignment component 306 is located at the first lateral movement component 304. Thus, when material arrives from upstream equipment, the feeding section 303 rises under the drive of the first lifting component 302 to receive the material, and then descends so that the product 10 flows into the picking position below the conveying assembly 400. The first alignment component 305 then aligns the product 10 to ensure its accurate placement in the storage component 600. In this embodiment, a transfer assembly 500 aligned with the feeding section 303 is provided on one side edge of the second machine platform 200 near the first machine platform 100. The transfer assembly 500 includes a synchronous belt drive assembly 501 and a transfer platform 502 driven by the synchronous belt drive assembly 501. The transfer platform is provided with a second traverse assembly 503. Multiple storage assemblies 600 are sequentially arranged along the length of one side edge of the second machine platform 200 away from the first machine platform 100. In this embodiment, there are three storage assemblies 600, which are sequentially arranged on the side edge of the second machine platform 200 away from the first machine platform 100. The synchronous belt drive assembly... 501 is arranged along the length of the second machine tool 200 so that the transfer platform 502 driven by it can move back and forth along the length of the second machine tool 200, so that the products 10 on the transfer platform 502 can be stored sequentially into multiple storage components 600. In this way, when the product 10 enters the picking position below the conveying component 400, the control program determines whether to buffer it. When buffering is not required, the product 10 is transferred from the picking position below the conveying component 400 to the waiting position at the first transverse component 304. At this time, the first transverse component 304 moves transversely to connect to the downstream production line, and the second correction component 306 corrects the product 10. After correction, it flows into the downstream equipment.When caching is required, the transport component 400 transports the product to the transfer platform 502 in the transfer component 500. The transfer platform 502 stores the product 10 into the storage component 600 via the second lateral movement component 503. Here, the second lateral movement component 503 performs a lateral movement function, docking with the storage component 600 so that the transfer platform 502 can store the product into the storage component 600. When caching ends and it is necessary to retrieve material from the storage component 600, the transfer platform 502 enters the storage component 600 via the second lateral movement component 503 to retrieve the material. The transport component 400 transports the product 10 from the transfer platform 502 to the feeding section 303. Then, the product 10... The product 10 enters the picking position below the conveying component 400 and is transferred to the waiting position at the first transverse component 304. At this time, the first transverse component 304 moves transversely to connect with the downstream production line, and the second correction component 306 corrects the product 10. After correction, it flows into the downstream equipment. In this way, when the upstream equipment has excess capacity, the buffer machine of this utility model can buffer the product. When the upstream capacity is too low, the buffered product can be put into the downstream equipment for production. This greatly reduces the impact of production line equipment abnormalities on production and effectively solves the problem of mismatch between the upstream and downstream equipment capacity, which often occurs in existing automated production lines, leading to abnormalities in upstream and downstream equipment and causing production line interruptions.
[0026] In this embodiment, the conveying component 400 includes a robotic arm 401 for picking up materials, a second lifting component 402 for driving the robotic arm 401 to move up and down, and a third lateral movement component 403 for driving the robotic arm 401 to move laterally. Thus, when buffering is required, the robotic arm 401, under the control of the second lifting component 402 and the third lateral movement component 403, transports the product 10 at the picking position and transfers it to the transfer platform 502. When buffering ends and materials need to be picked up from the storage component 600, the robotic arm 401, under the control of the second lifting component 402 and the third lateral movement component 403, transports the material from the transfer platform 502 to the feeding section 303.
[0027] In this embodiment, the storage component 600 includes a hopper 601 and a third lifting component 602 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the hopper. The hopper 601 includes a side frame 6011. On the side of the side frame 6011 opposite to the transfer component 500, a plurality of spaced connecting plates 6012 are vertically arranged. On the side of each connecting plate opposite to the transfer component 500, a plurality of horizontally symmetrically arranged posts 6013 are arranged from top to bottom. Thus, each layer of posts 6013 constitutes a placement layer for storing products. The third lifting component 602 includes a fixing plate 6021 on the side frame of the second machine platform 200 away from the first machine platform 100. A screw 6022 driven by a motor is vertically arranged in the middle of the side of the fixing plate 6021 opposite to the hopper 601 to drive the lifting and lowering of the hopper 601, so that each placement layer in the hopper 601 can hold products and it is also convenient to remove the placed products from each placement layer in the hopper 601.
[0028] In this embodiment, the top of the second machine platform 200 is provided with a slide rail 504 on each side of the synchronous belt drive assembly 501, which is arranged along the length of the second machine platform 200. Here, the synchronous belt drive assembly 501 is driven by a motor, and the synchronous belt drive assembly 501 drives the transfer platform 502 to move back and forth along the length of the second machine platform 200. Here, the transfer platform 502 moves back and forth along the length of the second machine platform 200 through the slide rail 504, which facilitates the sequential storage of products on the transfer platform 502 into multiple sequentially arranged storage assemblies 600.
[0029] In this embodiment, each of the locking posts 6013 is fitted with a plurality of antistatic O-rings 6014.
[0030] In this embodiment, a material feeding stop 307 is provided at the edge of the first transverse component 304. In this way, the material feeding stop 307 can stop the material during feeding and prevent the product from falling off.
[0031] In this embodiment, multiple anti-static and dust-free rollers 308 are respectively fitted on the magnetic wheel to facilitate better product transfer.
[0032] The process steps of the cache machine device provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0033] Feeding section: When the upstream equipment receives the material, the feeding part in the conveyor unit rises under the drive of the first lifting component to receive the material. Then the feeding part descends, and the product flows into the picking position below the handling component. The first correction component corrects the size of the product.
[0034] Buffering Section: After a product enters the picking position, the control program determines whether buffering is needed. If buffering is required, the transport component uses a robotic arm to transport the product to the transfer platform in the transfer component. The transfer platform stores the product in the hopper in the storage component. After the hopper is filled, it will rise one level to wait for the next filling. When buffering ends and the product needs to be retrieved from the hopper, the transfer platform enters the hopper to retrieve the product, and the transport component uses a robotic arm to transport it from the transfer platform to the feeding section.
[0035] Unloading section: When no buffering is required, the product is transferred from the picking position below the conveyor group to the waiting position at the first transverse component. The first transverse component moves laterally to connect to the downstream production line, and the second correction component corrects the product. After correction, the product flows into the downstream equipment.
[0036] The buffer machine equipment provided in the above embodiments of this utility model has a first machine base with a conveyor unit along its length. One side of the conveyor unit is a feeding section, and the other side is a first transverse component. A transport component is provided above the conveyor unit. A first alignment component is provided at the conveyor unit below the transport component, and a second alignment component is provided at the first transverse component. A transfer component aligned with the feeding section is provided on the edge of the second machine base near the first machine base. The transfer component includes a synchronous belt drive component and a transfer platform driven by the synchronous belt drive component. The transfer platform is provided with a second transverse component. Multiple storage components are sequentially provided on the edge of the second machine base away from the first machine base along its length. In this way, when material arrives from the upstream equipment, the feeding section rises under the drive of the first lifting component to receive the material, and then falls so that the product flows into the area below the transport component. The material handling unit has a specific feeding position. When a product enters the feeding position below the conveying component, the control program determines whether buffering is required. If buffering is needed, the conveying component moves the product to the transfer platform in the transfer component. The transfer platform then stores the product in the storage component via the second lateral movement component. When buffering ends and the product needs to be retrieved from the storage component, the transfer platform enters the storage component via the second lateral movement component to retrieve the product, and the conveying component moves it from the transfer platform to the feeding section. In this way, when the upstream equipment has excess capacity, the buffering machine provided by this invention can buffer the product. When the upstream capacity is too low, the buffered product is then put into the downstream equipment for production. This significantly reduces the impact of production line equipment malfunctions on production and effectively solves the problem of mismatched capacity between upstream and downstream equipment that often occurs in existing automated production lines, leading to malfunctions in upstream and downstream equipment and causing production line interruptions.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
