[0002] In automotive automated welding production lines, multiple devices and robotic arms work together to weld automotive parts. Small automated production lines typically allow manual loading for simple welding tasks, while large automated production lines are usually complex, making manual handling difficult. Traditional automated conveyor systems are space-consuming and costly, and even after transporting parts to the designated location, robotic arms are still needed for gripping. The coordination between these various cumbersome devices makes it difficult to improve production efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the conveying distance of belt conveyor equipment on the market is fixed during manufacturing. If the belt conveyor is too long or too short during use, it will affect the transportation efficiency of goods. Moreover, the fixed conveying distance can only be used within the specified range, which has great limitations. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and prone to slipping when conveying large workpieces (such as car floor, car door or car hood). There are still many workplace injuries.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that during the conveying process, the automated production line is too large, making it difficult for manual loading, the robotic arm has a limited delivery distance, and the fixed conveying device is too long or too short, which affects the delivery efficiency and has great limitations.

Detailed Implementation
[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0052] See Figures 1 to 12In specific embodiment 1, a telescopic belt conveyor is provided. The telescopic belt conveyor includes a first telescopic mechanism, a second telescopic mechanism, a third telescopic mechanism, a fourth telescopic mechanism, a motor 1, a rotating shaft 2, and a belt 55. The outer side of the second telescopic mechanism is slidably connected to the inner side of the first telescopic mechanism, the outer side of the third telescopic mechanism is slidably connected to the inner side of the second telescopic mechanism, and the outer side of the fourth telescopic mechanism is slidably connected to the inner side of the third telescopic mechanism. The motor 1 and the rotating shaft 2 are both connected to the first telescopic mechanism. For example, the motor 1 is connected to the first telescopic frame 4 through a connecting plate 3.
[0053] The front and rear ends of the first telescopic mechanism (e.g., the first telescopic frame 4), the front and rear ends of the second telescopic mechanism (e.g., the second telescopic frame 21), and the front and rear ends of the third telescopic mechanism (e.g., the third telescopic frame 36) are all equipped with pulleys. One end of the belt 55 is connected to the fourth telescopic mechanism, and the other end of the belt 55 is wound around the pulley, the rotating shaft 2, and the movable end of the motor 1 before connecting to the fourth telescopic mechanism. The motor 1 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. The front end of the fourth telescopic mechanism (e.g., the fourth telescopic frame 43) is equipped with several suction cups for fixing the workpiece. For example, the four corners of the fourth telescopic frame 43 are respectively equipped with the first suction cup 44, the second suction cup 46, the third suction cup 47, and the fourth suction cup 49. The workpiece is more firmly attached, and large workpieces are less likely to slip during transport, making it safer.
[0054] The front end of the fourth telescopic frame 43 is also provided with a first sensor 45, a second sensor 48 and a third sensor 50. The first sensor 45 is connected to the right side of the fourth telescopic frame 43, the second sensor 48 is connected to the left side of the fourth telescopic frame 43 and the third sensor 50 is connected to the lower side of the fourth telescopic frame 43.
[0055] When motor 1 is running, shaft 2 uses belt 55 to bring the rear pulley of the third telescopic mechanism closer to the front pulley of the second telescopic mechanism, and the rear pulley of the second telescopic mechanism closer to the front pulley of the first telescopic mechanism. At the same time, one end of belt 55 moves away from the first telescopic mechanism and stretches belt 55 (i.e., controls the length of the four telescopic frames to achieve forward workpiece feeding). In other words, by tightening a section of the corresponding belt 55 (such as the lower section of belt 55), the rear pulley of the third telescopic mechanism is brought closer to the front pulley of the second telescopic mechanism, so that the second telescopic frame 21 extends out of the first telescopic frame 4, the third telescopic frame 36 extends out of the second telescopic frame 21, and the fourth telescopic frame 43 extends out of the third telescopic frame 36. That is, the fourth telescopic frame 43 extends forward with the workpiece, realizing the forward workpiece feeding operation.
[0056] When motor 1 runs in reverse, shaft 2 drives one end of belt 55 to pull the fourth telescopic mechanism back towards the first telescopic mechanism (i.e., shortens the four telescopic frames, realizing the retraction of the device). At the same time, the rear pulley of the third telescopic mechanism and the front pulley of the second telescopic mechanism stretch belt 55, and the rear pulley of the second telescopic mechanism and the front pulley of the first telescopic mechanism stretch belt 55. In other words, by tightening the other section of the corresponding belt 55 (such as the other section of belt 55 located above), the fourth telescopic mechanism is pulled back towards the first telescopic mechanism. At this time, the rear pulley of the third telescopic mechanism and the front pulley of the second telescopic mechanism move away from each other, realizing the retraction of the second telescopic frame 21 to the first telescopic frame 4, the retraction of the third telescopic frame 36 to the second telescopic frame 21, and the retraction of the fourth telescopic frame 43 to the third telescopic frame 36, that is, realizing the retraction operation of the fourth telescopic frame 43.
[0057] The first telescopic mechanism includes a first telescopic frame 4. The upper rear end of the first telescopic frame 4 is connected to a first pulley 5 and a second pulley 6, respectively. The lower rear end of the first telescopic frame 4 is connected to a third pulley 8 and a fourth pulley 10, respectively. The lower front end of the first telescopic frame 4 is connected to a fifth pulley 14 and a sixth pulley 16, respectively. Preferably, the third pulley 8 is connected to the first telescopic frame 4 via a first fixed bracket 7, and the fourth pulley 10 is connected to the first telescopic frame 4 via a second fixed bracket 9; the fifth pulley 14 is connected to the first telescopic frame 4 via a third fixed bracket 13, and the sixth pulley 16 is connected to the first telescopic frame 4 via a fourth fixed bracket 15. The first telescopic frame 4 is connected to a fourth sensor 12 via a sensor bracket 11. The fourth sensor 12 is used to sense or identify whether the telescopic belt conveyor has completed its retraction operation.
[0058] The second telescopic mechanism includes a second telescopic frame 21. The rear end of the second telescopic frame 21 is connected to a seventh pulley 18 and an eighth pulley 20, respectively. For example, the seventh pulley 18 is connected to the second telescopic frame 21 through a fifth fixed bracket 17, and the eighth pulley 20 is connected to the second telescopic frame 21 through a sixth fixed bracket 19. The lower front end of the second telescopic frame 21 is connected to a ninth pulley 22 and a tenth pulley 25, respectively. The ninth pulley 22 is connected to the second telescopic frame 21 through a seventh fixed bracket 23, and the tenth pulley 25 is connected to the second telescopic frame 21 through an eighth fixed bracket 24.
[0059] Preferably, the seventh pulley 18 and the eighth pulley 20 are respectively located at the middle of the rear end of the second telescopic frame 21. The seventh pulley 18 and the fifth pulley 14 are located in the same vertical plane. The seventh pulley 18 is located at the upper rear end, and the fifth pulley 14 is located at the lower front end. The first belt 55-1 is wound around the fifth pulley 14 and the seventh pulley 18 to form a Z-shaped bend.
[0060] The eighth pulley 20 and the sixth pulley 16 are located in the same vertical plane. The eighth pulley 20 is located at the upper rear, and the sixth pulley 16 is located at the lower front. The second belt 55-2 is wound around the sixth pulley 16 and the eighth pulley 20 to form a Z-shaped bend.
[0061] The rear end of the second telescopic frame 21 is provided with a third limiting plate 41 and a fourth limiting plate 42 for limiting the movement of the front or rear end of the first telescopic frame 4. When the second telescopic frame 21 retracts into the first telescopic frame 4, to prevent the motor 1 from continuing to work when the second telescopic frame 21 reaches its maximum stroke, the third limiting plate 41 and the fourth limiting plate 42 are provided to protect the telescopic belt conveyor device for use within a safe stroke range.
[0062] The second telescopic mechanism has a second limiting groove on its outer side and a first limiting block on its inner side. The first limiting block matches the second limiting groove, so that the outer side of the second telescopic mechanism and the inner side of the first telescopic mechanism can be slidably connected. At the same time, the first limiting block is embedded in the second limiting groove, so that when the second telescopic frame 21 moves within the first telescopic frame 4, the operation of extending or retracting between the first telescopic frame 4 and the second telescopic frame 21 is more stable.
[0063] The third telescopic mechanism includes a third telescopic frame 36. The rear end of the third telescopic frame 36 is connected to the eleventh pulley 27 and the twelfth pulley 29, respectively. For example, the eleventh pulley 27 is connected to the third telescopic frame 36 through the ninth fixed bracket 26, and the twelfth pulley 29 is connected to the third telescopic frame 36 through the tenth fixed bracket 28. The lower front end of the third telescopic frame 36 is connected to the thirteenth pulley 37 and the fourteenth pulley 39, respectively. For example, the thirteenth pulley 37 is connected to the third telescopic frame 36 through the eleventh fixed bracket 38, and the fourteenth pulley 39 is connected to the third telescopic frame 36 through the twelfth fixed bracket 40.
[0064] Preferably, the eleventh pulley 27 and the twelfth pulley 29 are respectively located at the middle of the rear end of the third telescopic frame 36. The eleventh pulley 27 and the ninth pulley 22 are located in the same vertical plane, with the eleventh pulley 27 located at the upper rear and the ninth pulley 22 located at the lower front. The first belt 55-1 forms a Z-shaped bend after wrapping around the ninth pulley 22 and the eleventh pulley 27. When the four-section telescopic mechanism extends, the corresponding section of the belt 55 forms a small Z-shape, and when the four-section telescopic mechanism retracts, the corresponding section of the belt 55 forms a large Z-shape.
[0065] The twelfth pulley 29 and the tenth pulley 25 are located in the same vertical plane. The twelfth pulley 29 is located at the upper rear, and the tenth pulley 25 is located at the lower front. The second belt 55-2 is wound around the tenth pulley 25 and the twelfth pulley 29 to form a Z-shaped bend. When the four-section telescopic mechanism extends, the corresponding section of the belt 55 forms a small Z-shape. When the four-section telescopic mechanism retracts, the corresponding section of the belt 55 forms a large Z-shape.
[0066] The rear end of the third telescopic frame 36 is provided with a first limiting plate 30 and a second limiting plate 31 for limiting the movement of the front or rear end of the second telescopic frame 21. When the third telescopic frame 36 retracts into the second telescopic frame 21, to prevent the motor 1 from continuing to operate when the third telescopic frame 36 reaches its maximum stroke, the first limiting plate 30 and the second limiting plate 31 are provided to protect the telescopic belt conveyor device and ensure it operates within its safe stroke range.
[0067] A third limiting groove is provided on the outer side of the third telescopic mechanism, and a second limiting block is provided on the inner side of the second telescopic mechanism. The second limiting block matches the third limiting groove, enabling a slidable connection between the outer side of the third telescopic mechanism and the inner side of the second telescopic mechanism. Simultaneously, the second limiting block is embedded in the third limiting groove, ensuring smoother extension or retraction between the second telescopic frame 21 and the third telescopic frame 36 when the third telescopic frame 36 moves within the second telescopic frame 21.
[0068] The fourth telescopic mechanism includes a fourth telescopic frame 43, with a first clamping plate 32 and a second clamping plate 33 disposed on the right rear end of the fourth telescopic frame 43, and a third clamping plate 34 and a fourth clamping plate 35 disposed on the left rear end of the fourth telescopic frame 43.
[0069] The rear end of the fourth telescopic frame 43 is provided with a fifth limiting plate 51 and a sixth limiting plate 52 for limiting the movement of the front or rear end of the third telescopic frame 36. When the fourth telescopic frame 43 retracts into the third telescopic frame 36, to prevent the motor 1 from continuing to operate when the fourth telescopic frame 43 reaches its maximum stroke, the fifth limiting plate 51 and the sixth limiting plate 52 are provided to protect the telescopic belt conveyor device and ensure it operates within its safe stroke range.
[0070] The fourth telescopic mechanism has a fourth limiting groove on its outer side and a third limiting block on its inner side. The third limiting block matches the fourth limiting groove, enabling the outer side of the fourth telescopic mechanism to be slidably connected to the inner side of the third telescopic mechanism. At the same time, the third limiting block is embedded in the fourth limiting groove, ensuring smoother operation of the extension or retraction between the third telescopic frame 36 and the fourth telescopic frame 43 when the fourth telescopic frame 43 moves within the third telescopic frame 36.
[0071] The bottom of the fourth telescopic frame 43 is provided with a thirteenth fixed bracket 53 and a fourteenth fixed bracket 54.
[0072] The belt 55 includes a first belt 55-1, a second belt 55-2, and a third belt 55-3. One end of the first belt 55-1 is connected to the first clamping plate 32. The other end of the first belt 55-1 is sequentially wound around the first pulley 5, the rotating shaft 2, the third pulley 8, the fifth pulley 14, the seventh pulley 18, the ninth pulley 22, the eleventh pulley 27, and the thirteenth pulley 37 before connecting to the second clamping plate 33. One end of the second belt 55-2 is connected to the third clamping plate 34. The other end of the second belt 55-2 is sequentially wound around the second pulley 6, the rotating shaft 2, the fourth pulley 10, the sixth pulley 16, the eighth pulley 20, the tenth pulley 25, the twelfth pulley 29, and the fourteenth pulley 39 before connecting to the fourth clamping plate 35. The rotating shaft 2 and the movable end of the motor 1 are connected by the third belt 55-3.
[0073] The telescopic belt conveyor in Embodiment 1 occupies a smaller area and features two belts 55 (i.e., the first belt 55-1 and the second belt 55-2). With the cooperation of multiple pulleys and corresponding belts 55, the four telescopic frames operate within corresponding limiting grooves, resulting in more stable and smooth operation. The telescopic belt conveyor's extension and retraction length is controllable, making it suitable for various automated production line scenarios, reducing limitations, and improving production line efficiency.
[0074] The working principle and usage process of the telescopic belt conveyor in Embodiment 1 are as follows: The device is fixed to other devices or support columns via the thirteenth fixed bracket 53 and the fourteenth fixed bracket 54 to reach a specified height, thus increasing the versatility of its application scenarios. Motor 1 drives the rotating shaft 2, which in turn drives the belt 55 (e.g., the first belt 55-1 and the second belt 55-2) for transmission. The four-section telescopic mechanism is equipped with multiple sets of pulleys. The two belts 55 (e.g., the first belt 55-1 and the second belt 55-2) drive the multiple sets of pulleys to achieve the maximum telescopic distance from the first to the fourth section. Three sets of sensors detect the workpiece position, and four sets of suction cups fix the workpiece. To prevent excessive retraction of the telescopic mechanism, a third limiting plate 41 and a fourth limiting plate 42 are provided between the first and second telescopic mechanisms. A first limiting plate 30 and a second limiting plate 31 are provided between the second and third telescopic mechanisms. A fifth limiting plate 51 and a sixth limiting plate 52 are provided between the third and fourth telescopic mechanisms to prevent excessive retraction and interference.
