Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor lines, and more particularly to a magnetically driven conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic drive conveyor lines are conveying systems based on the principle of linear motors. These systems mainly consist of a stator and a mover. Each mover operates independently without the need for a dragging cable, allowing it to adapt to the rhythm of different production stations and improving production line flexibility. However, in existing magnetic drive conveyor systems, the movers can only move along a predetermined track of the stator in a predetermined sequence, and can only perform work sequentially according to the order of the workstations. This presents the following risk: if a workstation malfunctions and stops, the entire process may be halted. Utility Model Content

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This application provides a magnetically driven conveyor line, including a magnetic drive stator 100 and a plurality of magnetic actuators 200. The magnetic drive stator 100 is used to generate a driving magnetic field. The magnetic actuators 200 are configured to move along a first direction under the drive magnetic field to convey materials.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The magnetic drive stator 100 includes a first connecting portion 110 extending along a first direction, and the magnetic drive element 200 includes a second connecting portion 210. The second connecting portion 210 and the first connecting portion 110 can be connected along a second direction, and under the drive of the driving magnetic field, the magnetic drive element 200 is guided to move relative to the magnetic drive stator 100 along the first direction. Alternatively, the second connecting portion 210 and the first connecting portion 110 can be separated along the second direction, so that the magnetic drive element 200 disengages from the magnetic drive stator 100. The first direction and the second direction intersect. The second direction can be horizontal or vertical, determined by the arrangement of the magnetic drive stator 100 and the magnetic drive element 200. For example, if they are arranged vertically, the second direction is vertical; if they are arranged horizontally, the second direction is horizontal. Figure 1 In the middle, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the second connecting part 210 and the first connecting part 110 are connected along the second direction. Under the drive of the driving magnetic field, the two cooperate to guide the magnetic drive unit 200 to move relative to the magnetic drive stator 100 along the first direction to transport materials. When the magnetic drive unit 200 needs maintenance or replacement, the second connecting part 210 and the first connecting part 110 are separated along the second direction, so that the magnetic drive unit 200 is detached from the magnetic drive stator 100. After maintenance or when a new magnetic drive unit 200 is installed, the second connecting part 210 and the first connecting part 110 can be connected along the second direction. Since the first direction and the second direction intersect, the disassembly and installation of the magnetic drive unit 200 do not affect other magnetic drive units 200, thereby shortening downtime and improving production continuity and anti-interference capability. Furthermore, the above-mentioned flexible disassembly and assembly method along the second direction can quickly add or remove magnetic drive units 200, thereby adapting to changes in different material types and production capacity requirements, and significantly improving adjustment flexibility and expansion capability.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the magnetic drive stator 100 includes a stator body 120, and a first connecting portion 110 is a guide rail 110a, which is disposed on the stator body 120, and the two are separately formed. The stator body 120 provides structural support, and the guide rail 110a is connected to the stator body 120 by fasteners.

[0047] The magnetic actuator 200 includes a moving body 220 and a second connecting part 210, which is a slider 210a. The slider 210a is disposed on the moving body 220, and the two are separately formed. The moving body 220 is used to carry materials. The slider 210a and the moving body 220 are connected by fasteners.

[0048] In this embodiment, slider 210a is connected to guide rail 110a and can slide relative to guide rail 110a in a first direction. The two cooperate to guide the movement of magnetic actuator 200, ensuring its stability during transport. Furthermore, slider 210a is configured to be able to separate from or connect to guide rail 110a in a second direction. It should be noted that in conventional magnetic drive conveyor lines, for safety and stability considerations, both guide rail 110a and slider 210a are equipped with mutually cooperating limiting structures that restrict their relative displacement in the second direction. The above embodiment allows guide rail 110a and slider 210a to separate or connect in the second direction, enabling quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance or replacement, reducing operational difficulty.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the guide rail 110a includes two first sidewalls 112 and a first top wall 111 connecting the two first sidewalls 112, wherein each first sidewall 112 extends along a second direction. Thus, when the magnetic actuator 200 separates from the magnetic drive stator 100 along the second direction, the first sidewalls 112 will not interfere with the slider 210a.

[0050] For further details, please refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 4 The slider 210a has a guide groove 211, which has two second sidewalls 2111 and a second top wall 2112 connecting the two second sidewalls 2111. The second sidewalls 2111 and the first sidewall 112 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second top wall 2112 and the first top wall 111 are arranged opposite to each other. It can be understood that when the slider 210a is connected to the guide rail 110a, the second sidewalls 2111 and the first sidewall 112 abut against each other, and the first top wall 111 and the second top wall 2112 abut against each other, forming a stable guiding structure to ensure that the magnetic actuator 200 does not deviate during the conveying process.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first top wall 111 includes a first intermediate section 1112 and a first transition section 1111 connecting the first intermediate section 1112 and the first side wall 112, the first transition section 1111 being at least partially recessed inward. Correspondingly, the second top wall 2112 includes a second intermediate section and a second transition section connecting the second intermediate section and the second side wall 2111, the second transition section being at least partially protruding outward and conforming to the shape of the first transition section 1111.

[0052] The first transition section 1111 and the second transition section complement each other, enhancing the fit between the guide rail 110a and the slider 210a through their interlocking action, while limiting the slider 210a's offset perpendicular to the direction of movement and improving guiding accuracy. Furthermore, the first transition section 1111 disperses stress concentration at the connection between the first intermediate section 1112 and the first sidewall 112, enhancing the overall structural rigidity of the guide rail 110a.

[0053] In some embodiments, along the second direction, the distance between the two first sidewalls 112 gradually increases from the end connected to the first top wall 111 to the other end. It is understood that the guide rail 110a also includes a first bottom wall for connection to the stator body 120, and the ends of the two first sidewalls 112 opposite to the first top wall 111 are connected to the first bottom wall. In this embodiment, the two first sidewalls 112, the first top wall 111, and the first bottom wall form a trapezoidal structure, that is, the cross-section of the guide rail 110a is trapezoidal, thereby facilitating the separation of the slider 210a on the magnetic actuator 200 from the guide rail 110a.

[0054] In some embodiments, the guide rail 110a includes two first sidewalls 112, one end of which is connected, and the distance between the two first sidewalls 112 gradually increases from the connected end to the other end along a second direction. Thus, the cross-section of the guide rail 110a formed by the two first sidewalls 112 and the first bottom wall is a triangular structure, which facilitates the separation of the slider 210a on the magnetic actuator 200 from the guide rail 110a.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the surface of the stator body 120 facing the magnetic actuator 200 has a recessed first groove 121, the guide rail 110a is disposed in the first groove 121, and the slider 210a partially overlaps with the first groove 121 in the second direction. Wherein, Figure 2 In this configuration, the surface of the stator body 120 facing the magnetic actuator 200 is the upper surface. This reduces the overall height in the second direction, achieving a more compact structure.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the first groove 121 is recessed to form a positioning groove 122, and the guide rail 110a is disposed in the positioning groove 122. This enables the guide rail 110a to be quickly positioned in the first groove 121, thereby facilitating the rapid installation of the guide rail 110a. The precise fit between the guide rail 110a and the positioning groove 122 further improves the operational stability of the magnetic actuator 200.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the magnetic drive stator 100 includes a stator body 120 and a feedback ruler 140, with the feedback ruler 140 disposed on the stator body 120. The magnetic drive unit 200 includes a mover body 220 and a magnetic grating 240, with the magnetic grating 240 disposed on the mover body 220. The magnetic grating 240 and the feedback ruler 140 are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction. The feedback ruler 140 and the magnetic grating 240 cooperate to monitor the displacement state of the magnetic drive unit 200 in real time and feed the information back to the control system, thereby achieving precise control of the movement of the magnetic drive unit 200, reducing positional deviation, and improving the positioning accuracy of material conveying. After the magnetic drive unit 200 is replaced and reset, the magnetic grating 240 and the feedback ruler 140 are re-matched, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the magnetic drive conveyor line.

[0058] In some embodiments, the magnetic drive stator 100 includes a coil 130 disposed on the stator body 120 for generating a driving magnetic field. Two sets of guide rails 110a are provided, distributed along a third direction on both sides of the coil 130. The third direction is perpendicular to the first and second directions. The magnetic drive 200 includes a magnetic element 230 disposed on the mover body 220. Two sets of sliders 210a are provided, distributed along a third direction on both sides of the magnetic element 230. The magnetic element 230 is within the driving magnetic field range and is magnetically attracted to the coil 130 along the second direction to enhance the operational stability of the magnetic drive 200.

[0059] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application 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 therein.
