Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fabric feeding mechanism, specifically relating to a conveying mechanism for fabric stacks. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile production field, automated fabric stack transportation is a key link in improving production efficiency. Existing technologies, such as the garment feeding device for a heat transfer machine disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN218664428U), utilize a feeding plate in conjunction with a circulating feeding mechanism to achieve fabric stack transfer. Specifically, this device uses two parallel conveyor belts to drive two feeding plates to move alternately: the feeding plates are lifted by a lifting platform and separated from the transmission unit, then moved horizontally by the conveyor belts to the fabric gripper station, where the grippers finally pick up the fabric stack and transfer it to the heat transfer machine.

[0003] However, the above solution has significant drawbacks: 1. Complex motion trajectory: The stacking process involves a multi-stage motion path of "feeding plate receiving → lifting platform lifting → conveyor belt horizontal transportation → secondary lifting positioning → gripper grabbing" (section

[0036] of the instruction manual). The trajectory is redundant and the coordination control is difficult, which can easily lead to positioning deviations. 2. Large structural volume: To support the alternating operation of the two feeding plates, two conveyor belts, multiple sets of transmission units (first connecting plate, second connecting plate) and lifting platforms (lifting plate, driving component) at both ends are required. The detachable connection structure (positioning pin / hole) between the feeding plate and the transmission unit further increases the mechanical complexity (section

[0035] of the instruction manual). The above components result in a large horizontal space occupation of the equipment, and additional travel space needs to be reserved in the longitudinal direction due to the lifting platform. 3. Low space utilization: The circulating feeding mechanism needs to accommodate two feeding plates and the matching transmission structure at the same time (section

[0036] of the instruction manual). Even when not in operation, it still occupies a large effective area, making it difficult to adapt to compact production sites.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stacking and transporting mechanism with a simple motion trajectory, compact structure, and small space occupation to solve the efficiency bottleneck and space waste problems caused by complex mechanical linkages in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a conveying mechanism for stacking, in view of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a conveying mechanism for stacking is proposed, including: a support platform, which has length, height and width, the support platform includes a loading position and a unloading position arranged adjacent to each other along its length direction, and along the height direction of the support platform, the support surface of the loading position is higher than the support surface of the unloading position.

[0007] The transport component is movably mounted on the support platform and includes a receiving position and a transport position;

[0008] When the conveying component is in the receiving position, the conveying component is located at the feeding position, and its upper surface is higher than the supporting surface of the feeding position, for receiving the fabric stack;

[0009] When the conveying component is in the conveying position, the conveying component is located at the loading position, and its upper surface is lower than the support surface of the unloading position, which is used to drive the fabric stack to move to the loading position.

[0010] In the above-mentioned conveying mechanism for stacking, the conveying component includes a plurality of conveying rods spaced apart along the width direction of the support platform. The support platform is provided with strip grooves that correspond one-to-one with the conveying rods along its own width direction. The conveying rods are movably inserted into the strip grooves. The strip grooves extend along the length direction of the support platform to provide clearance space for the movement of the conveying rods.

[0011] In one of the above-mentioned conveying mechanisms for stacking, a two-dimensional motion platform is provided on the support platform, and multiple conveying rods are connected to the two-dimensional motion platform to drive the conveying component to move relative to the support platform.

[0012] In the aforementioned conveying mechanism for stacking, the two-dimensional motion platform includes:

[0013] A support frame, which is mounted on the support platform;

[0014] The first cylinder is mounted on the support frame, and its piston rod extends and retracts along the length of the support platform.

[0015] A movable seat is movably mounted on the support frame and connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder.

[0016] In the aforementioned conveying mechanism for stacking, the two-dimensional motion platform further includes:

[0017] The second cylinder is mounted on the movable seat, and its piston rod extends and retracts along the height direction of the support platform.

[0018] A connecting frame is mounted on the piston rod of the second cylinder, and multiple conveying rods are connected to the connecting frame.

[0019] In one of the above-mentioned conveying mechanisms for stacking, a guide rail is provided on the support frame, and the movable seat is slidably mounted on the guide rail via a slider to achieve smooth movement along the length of the support platform.

[0020] In the aforementioned conveying mechanism for stacking, a limit block is provided on the movable seat, and a sensor is provided on the support frame. The sensor is electrically connected to the first cylinder and is used to trigger a stop signal when the limit block is detected, thereby controlling the piston rod of the first cylinder to stop its extension and retraction.

[0021] In one of the above-mentioned conveying mechanisms for stacking, the conveying rod is formed by bending a tube and is U-shaped. The connecting frame is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, which are interference-fitted with the ends of the conveying rod.

[0022] In one of the above-mentioned conveying mechanisms for stacking, an elastic pad is provided on the support surface of the loading position, the elastic pad being used to ensure that the support surface of the loading position is higher than the support surface of the unloading position.

[0023] In the aforementioned conveying mechanism for stacking, the two-dimensional motion platform further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to both the first cylinder and the second cylinder, and is used to control the movement of the conveying component between the receiving position and the conveying position.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] (1) By setting up the loading and unloading positions of the support platform and combining the switching of the conveying parts between the receiving position and the conveying position, the efficient transportation of the stack is realized. This solution can complete the grabbing and transfer of the stack with a single mechanism, which effectively simplifies the movement trajectory, reduces the size of the equipment, significantly reduces the space occupation, and improves the stability and reliability of the transportation process.

[0026] (2) By designing the conveying component as multiple conveying rods spaced apart along the width of the support platform, and combining them with the avoidance structure of the strip groove, uniform support and flexible transportation of the fabric stack are achieved. Specifically, in this solution, the conveying rods have the ability to move independently and can be adapted to fabric stacks of different sizes, effectively avoiding the problem of fabric deformation caused by uneven clamping force. At the same time, the extension structure of the strip groove further optimizes the compactness of the overall layout.

[0027] (3) By introducing a two-dimensional motion platform as the driving mechanism of the conveying rod, the precise positioning of the conveying parts in the horizontal and vertical directions is realized. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0034] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a conveying mechanism for stacking cloth according to the present invention includes: a support platform 1 and a conveying component 4.

[0036] Specifically, the support platform 1 has a length L, a height H, and a width. The support platform 1 includes a loading position 2 and a unloading position 3 arranged adjacent to each other along its length L. Along the height H of the support platform 1, the support surface of the loading position 2 is higher than the support surface of the unloading position 3. The conveying component 4 is movably disposed on the support platform 1 and includes a receiving position and a conveying position. When the conveying component 4 is in the receiving position, the conveying component 4 is located at the unloading position 3, and its upper surface is higher than the support surface of the unloading position 3, for receiving the fabric stack. When the conveying component 4 is in the conveying position, the conveying component 4 is located at the loading position 2, and its upper surface is lower than the support surface of the unloading position 3, for moving the fabric stack to the loading position 2.

[0037] In this scheme, the loading position 2 is the material picking position of other automatic material picking structures, that is, the position where the stacked fabric is picked up by a program-controlled robot or other automatic material picking structures; the unloading position 3 is the position for automatic material replenishment to the loading position 2, that is, after the fabric is transferred on the loading position 2, the fabric stack on the unloading position 3 needs to be transferred to the loading position 2 by the conveyor 4.

[0038] During operation, the fabric stack is placed on the feeding position 3 manually or by other mechanical means, so that the fabric stack is located on the upper surface of the conveyor 4 at the feeding position 3. After the fabric on the feeding position 2 is transferred away, the conveyor 4 starts to move, transporting the fabric stack on its upper surface to the feeding position 2, completing the replenishment operation of the fabric at the feeding position 2.

[0039] This solution achieves efficient transport of pallets by setting up a loading position 2 and a unloading position 3 on the support platform 1, and combining this with the switching of the conveyor 4 between the receiving position and the transport position. Compared with the complex multi-stage conveyor belts and lifting platforms in the prior art, this solution can complete the grabbing and transfer of pallets with a single mechanism, effectively simplifying the movement trajectory, reducing the size of the equipment, significantly reducing space occupation, and improving the stability and reliability of the transport process.

[0040] Furthermore, the transport component 4 includes multiple transport rods 5 spaced apart along the width direction of the support platform 1. The support platform 1 has strip grooves 6 arranged side by side along its own width direction, each corresponding to one of the transport rods 5. The transport rods 5 are movably inserted into the strip grooves 6. The strip grooves 6 extend along the length L direction of the support platform 1 to provide clearance space for the movement of the transport rods 5.

[0041] When the conveyor 4 is in the receiving position, the upper surfaces of the multiple conveyor rods 5 pass through the strip groove 6 located at the unloading position 3, causing the upper surfaces of the multiple conveyor rods 5 to protrude from the support surface of the support platform 1 along the height H direction, thereby allowing the fabric stack placed on the unloading position 3 to be received by the conveyor 4. When the multiple conveyor rods 5 move to the loading position 2, the upper surfaces of the multiple conveyor rods 5 are lower than the support surface of the loading position 2, thereby transferring the fabric stack to the loading position 2.

[0042] By designing the conveying component 4 as multiple conveying rods 5 spaced apart along the width of the support platform 1, and combining them with the avoidance structure of the strip groove 6, uniform support and flexible transportation of the fabric stack are achieved. Compared with traditional grippers or fixed feeding plates, the conveying rods 5 in this solution have the ability to move independently, which can adapt to fabric stacks of different sizes and effectively avoid the problem of fabric deformation caused by uneven clamping force. At the same time, the extended structure of the strip groove 6 further optimizes the compactness of the overall layout.

[0043] Furthermore, a two-dimensional motion platform 7 is provided on the support platform 1, and multiple conveying rods 5 are connected to the two-dimensional motion platform 7 to drive the conveying component 4 to move relative to the support platform 1.

[0044] The introduction of a two-dimensional motion platform 7 as the driving mechanism for the conveying rod 5 enables precise positioning of the conveying component 4 in both horizontal and vertical directions.

[0045] In this scheme, the two-dimensional motion platform 7 includes: a support frame 8, which is mounted on the support platform 1; a first cylinder 9, which is mounted on the support frame 8, and whose piston rod extends and retracts along the length L of the support platform 1; and a movable seat 10, which is movably mounted on the support frame 8 and connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 9.

[0046] The linkage design between the first cylinder 9 and the moving seat 10 ensures the smooth movement of the transport component 4 along the length L of the support platform 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the two-dimensional motion platform 7 also includes: a second cylinder 11, which is mounted on the movable seat 10, and whose piston rod extends and retracts along the height H direction of the support platform 1; a connecting frame 12, which is mounted on the piston rod of the second cylinder 11, and multiple conveying rods 5 are connected to the connecting frame 12.

[0048] The combined design of the second cylinder 11 and the connecting frame 12 makes the vertical lifting of the transport component 4 more flexible and controllable.

[0049] Preferably, the support frame 8 is provided with a guide rail 13, and the movable seat 10 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 13 via a slider 14 to achieve smooth movement along the length L of the support platform 1.

[0050] By installing guide rails 13 on the support frame 8 and using sliders 14 in conjunction with the movable seat 10, the guiding performance of the motion platform is further enhanced. This solution extends the service life of the equipment through the low-friction contact between the sliders 14 and the guide rails 13, while ensuring smooth movement during long-term operation.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the movable seat 10 is equipped with a limit block 17, and the support frame 8 is equipped with a sensor 18. The sensor 18 is electrically connected to the first cylinder 9 and is used to trigger a stop signal when the limit block 17 is detected, thereby controlling the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 to stop its extension and retraction.

[0052] The combined design of the limit block 17 and the sensor 18 triggers a stop signal when the moving seat 10 reaches the predetermined position, effectively preventing the cylinder from over-stroke movement, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0053] Preferably, the conveying rod 5 is formed by bending a tube and is U-shaped. The connecting frame 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 15, which are interference fit with the ends of the conveying rod 5.

[0054] The design of the U-shaped conveying rod 5 and the interference fit mounting hole 15 enhances the rigidity of the rod through the structure formed by bending the tubing, preventing the fabric from tilting due to deformation under stress during transportation. The high-precision connection of the interference fit mounting hole 15 ensures the stability of the conveying rod 5 and the connecting frame 12, reducing the risk of loosening during long-term use.

[0055] Furthermore, an elastic pad 16 is provided on the support surface of the feeding position 2, and the elastic pad 16 is used to ensure that the support surface of the feeding position 2 is higher than the support surface of the discharging position 3.

[0056] Furthermore, the two-dimensional motion platform 7 also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to both the first cylinder 9 and the second cylinder 11, and is used to control the movement of the transport component 4 between the receiving position and the transport position.

[0057] The controller and cylinder are electrically integrated for fully automatic switching between the receiving and transporting positions of the transport component 4 via a preset program. Compared to traditional manual operation or semi-automatic control, this solution significantly improves production efficiency while reducing human error through programmed control, ensuring consistency and stability in the transportation process.
