Furthermore, by connecting the second discharge ends of the two bifurcated stators, the two feed sections and the two discharge sections are integrated into a single transmission line. This avoids the need for separate discharge sections at the first and second discharge ends of each bifurcated stator, resulting in a more compact overall layout of the transmission line, reduced floor space, and lower manufacturing costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] In related technologies, the sorting speed of a single transmission line is limited, while parallel sorting of multiple independent transmission lines improves the sorting speed, but it also has the problems of occupying more space and having a dispersed transmission line layout.

[0028] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a transmission line, primarily used for transporting products. The transmission line may include belt transmission lines, chain transmission lines, spiral transmission lines 1, magnetic drive transmission lines, etc., and this application does not specifically limit the type. The following description uses a magnetic drive transmission line 1 as an example.

[0029] Magnetic drive transmission lines typically consist of a conveyor body and a mover. The mover, as a load-bearing component, stably supports and transports the product. It usually contains a permanent magnet or electromagnet, while the conveyor body is equipped with linear windings. When the permanent magnet or electromagnet on the mover magnetically couples with the linear windings on the conveyor body, the mover can move along the transmission direction of the conveyor body under the influence of the magnetic field generated by the coil, thereby realizing the transport of the product.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The transmission line 1 includes at least two parallel feeding sections 90, at least two parallel discharging sections 91, and bifurcated stators 30. Each feeding section 90 includes multiple sequentially spliced ​​feeding stators, each discharging section 91 includes multiple sequentially spliced ​​discharging stators, and each bifurcated stator 30 includes a first feeding end 31, a first discharging end 32, and a second discharging end 33. The first feeding end 31 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 is spliced ​​to the feeding stators at the end of the transmission direction of the two feeding sections 90, and the first discharging end 32 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 is spliced ​​to the discharging stators at the beginning of the transmission direction of the two discharging sections 91. The second discharging ends 33 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 are spliced ​​to each other, so that the mover on any feeding section 90 can be transmitted to any discharging section 91.

[0031] It is understood that multiple movers are magnetically coupled to multiple feed stators on at least two feed sections 90, so that the movers move to the branch stator 30 of the feed stator at the end of the transmission direction of the feed section 90. Based on the control logic of the transmission line 1 and the type of product carried by the mover, the energization state or magnetic field distribution of the coils inside the branch stator 30 of the feed stator at the end of the transmission direction of the feed section 90 is changed to guide the mover to any discharge section 91, thereby achieving product sorting. It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the type of product to be sorted.

[0032] For example, when it is necessary to sort products into good products and defective products, and the visual recognition technology device identifies that the product carried by the mover is a good product, the feed stator on at least two parallel feed sections 90 is magnetically coupled to the mover to drive the mover to the bifurcated stator 30 spliced ​​with the feed stator at the end of the transmission direction of the feed section 90, and controls the coil between the first feed end 31 and the first discharge end 32 of one of the bifurcated stators 30 to be energized so that the mover moves to one of the discharge sections 91. Alternatively, when a visual recognition device identifies the product carried by the mover as defective, at least two parallel feeding sections 90 are magnetically coupled to the mover, driving the mover to the bifurcated stator 30 spliced ​​with the feeding stator at the end of the feeding section 90 in the transmission direction. The coil between the first feeding end 31 and the second discharging end 33 of one bifurcated stator 30 is energized, and the coil between the second discharging end 33 and the first discharging end 32 of the other bifurcated stator 30 is energized, causing the mover to move from one bifurcated stator 30 to the other bifurcated stator 30, and from the first discharging end 32 of the other bifurcated stator 30 to another discharging section 91, thereby achieving product sorting. It should be noted that the visual recognition device described above is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0033] Since transmission line 1 has at least two feeding sections 90, these sections can operate simultaneously, enabling multiple movers to magnetically couple with the feeding stator of each feeding section 90. This accelerates the speed at which the movers transport products. Furthermore, the discharge section 91 also has at least two sections, and the bifurcated stator 30 has at least two sections to prevent congestion on transmission line 1 caused by an excessive number of movers in the feeding sections 90. Moreover, transmission line 1, composed of multiple feeding sections 90, multiple discharge sections 91, and multiple bifurcated stators 30, can adapt to different production needs and product types. By changing the connection method of the feeding stator, discharge stator, and bifurcated stator 30, as well as the control logic of the bifurcated stator 30, the transmission path can be easily adjusted and expanded to meet different production scenarios.

[0034] This embodiment of the application provides at least two feeding sections 90, at least two discharging sections 91, and at least two bifurcated stators 30. The first feeding end 31 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 is connected to the feeding stator at the end of the conveying direction of each of the two feeding sections 90. The first discharging end 32 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 is connected to the discharging stator at the beginning of the conveying direction of each of the two discharging sections 91. The second discharging ends 33 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30 are connected to each other. This allows the mover on any feeding section 90 to be transferred to any discharging section 91. Thus, the mover can move from at least two sections... The feed section 90 enters and is diverted by the bifurcated stator 30 connected to the feed stator of the feed section 90. The mover can then divert the flow to at least two discharge sections 91 to improve the overall transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the two feed sections 90 and the two discharge sections 91 are integrated into a single transmission line 1 by splicing the second discharge ends 33 of each of the two bifurcated stators 30. This avoids the need for each bifurcated stator 30 to have its own discharge section 91 at both its first discharge end 32 and second discharge end 33, resulting in a more compact overall layout of the transmission line 1, reducing the floor space occupied and lowering manufacturing costs.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the transmission line 1 further includes a first cross stator 10 and a second cross stator 20.

[0036] Specifically, the first cross stator 10 includes a second feed end 11 and a third discharge end 12. The transmission direction of the second feed end 11 to the mover is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the third discharge end 12 to the mover. The second feed end 11 is spliced ​​with one of the feed stators to move the mover onto the first cross stator 10.

[0037] The second cross stator 20 includes a third feed end 21, a fourth feed end 22, and a fourth discharge end 23. The third feed end 21 is connected to the third discharge end 12. The transmission direction of the third feed end 21 to the mover is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the fourth feed end 22 to the mover, and the transmission direction of the third feed end 21 to the mover is parallel to the transmission direction of the fourth discharge end 23 to the mover. The fourth feed end 22 is connected to another feed stator. That is, the mover can enter the first cross stator 10 from the second feed end 11 and move from the first cross stator 10 to the second cross stator 20. The mover can also enter through the third feed end 21. This increases the number of movers on the same feed section 90, thereby improving the overall transmission efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, compared to linear transmission lines in related technologies, the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20 can change the transmission direction of the mover on the transmission line 1 to adapt to different transmission paths and layout requirements. For example, in some space-constrained locations, by changing the transmission direction of the mover through the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20, the transmission line 1 can complete more complex transmission tasks within a limited space, reducing the floor space required.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the transmission line 1 further includes a bridging stator 40, which is disposed between the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20; that is, one end of the bridging stator 40 is spliced ​​with the third discharge end 12, and the other end of the bridging stator 40 is spliced ​​with the third feed end 21. A linear winding is also arranged on the bridging stator 40. When the mover needs to move to the second cross stator 20, the first cross stator 10, the bridging stator 40, and the second cross stator 20 are all magnetically coupled to drive the mover carrying the product to move to the second cross stator 20.

[0040] The bridging stator 40, the first cross stator 10, and the second cross stator 20 together constitute a stator module. Thus, during the assembly process, only the second feed end 11 of the first cross stator 10 needs to be spliced ​​with one of the feed stators, the fourth feed end 22 of the second cross stator 20 needs to be spliced ​​with other stators, and the fourth discharge end 23 of the second cross stator 20 needs to be spliced ​​with another feed stator. This eliminates the need to splice the first cross stator 10, the second cross stator 20, and the bridging stator 40, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0041] Please see Figures 3-4In some embodiments, the feeding stator includes a plurality of first feeding stators 50 and a plurality of second feeding stators 51 connected in sequence. The first feeding stator 50 at the end of the transmission direction is connected to the second feeding end 11. That is, the mover can be magnetically coupled to the plurality of first feeding stators 50 and the first cross stator 10 to drive the mover to move onto the first cross stator 10. The second feeding stator 51 at the end of the transmission direction is connected to the fourth feeding end 22. That is, the mover can be magnetically coupled to the plurality of second feeding stators 51 and the second cross stator 20 to drive the mover to move onto the second cross stator 20. In this example, multiple first feeding stators 50 and multiple second feeding stators 51 can be arranged side by side and can respectively transport different types of products. After the products are combined by the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20, they are then diverted to different processes by the corresponding branch stator 30. Alternatively, multiple first feeding stators 50 and multiple second feeding stators 51 can transport the same type of products. When the products pass through multiple first feeding stators 50 and multiple second feeding stators 51, the user can set up a visual recognition technology device near the multiple first feeding stators 50 and multiple second feeding stators 51 to identify whether the products are good or defective. In this way, after the moving parts carrying the products are combined by the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20, they are diverted by the corresponding branch stator 30 to distinguish the products and improve the feeding efficiency of the transmission line 1.

[0042] The following embodiment uses two sections of feeding section 90, two sections of discharging section 91, and two bifurcated stators 30 as examples for illustration, and the number of the first cross stator 10 and the second cross stator 20 is two.

[0043] Since the embodiments of this application have two feeding sections 90, each feeding section 90 has multiple first feeding stators 50, first cross stators 10, second cross stators 20 and multiple second feeding stators 51. If the two feeding sections 90 are connected in series with multiple first feeding stators 50, first cross stators 10 and second cross stators 20 through the same optical fiber line, the installation will be complicated and the signal transmission of the optical fiber line will be attenuated, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the signal transmission.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figures 3-4 Therefore, in order to simplify the wiring of the optical fiber and improve the stability of the transmitted signal, the transmission line 1 of this embodiment further includes a first optical fiber 52 and a second optical fiber 53. The first optical fiber 52 connects in series a plurality of first feed stators 50, first cross stators 10, second cross stators 20 and a plurality of second feed stators 51 of one feed section 90; the second optical fiber 53 connects in series a plurality of first feed stators 50, first cross stators, second cross stators 20 and a plurality of second feed stators 51 of another feed section 90.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figures 3-4 In some embodiments, the transmission line 1 further includes at least two first intermediate sections, each of which includes a plurality of first intermediate section stators 60 spliced ​​together in sequence. The first intermediate section at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​with the fourth discharge end 23, and the first intermediate section stator 60 at the end of the transmission direction is spliced ​​with the first feed end 31. In this way, a visual recognition technology device can be set near the first intermediate section to further identify the product, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent branch stator 30 diverting the flow.

[0046] Taking product sorting into good and defective products as an example, the moving part moves from the second cross stator 20 to the first intermediate section. When the moving part carrying the product passes through the first intermediate section, the visual recognition technology device located near the first intermediate section can further identify the product to determine whether the product is good or defective. This makes it easier for the moving part carrying the product to move to the corresponding bifurcated stator 30 for sorting. Furthermore, further product identification can reduce sorting errors, thereby improving the accuracy of product sorting.

[0047] In addition, the first optical fiber line 52 is connected in series with the first intermediate section stator 60 of one of the feeding sections 90, and the second optical fiber line 53 is connected in series with the first intermediate section stator 60 of another feeding section 90. In this way, the controller, which is more conveniently connected to the first optical fiber line 52, can centrally monitor and manage the first feeding stator 50, the first cross stator 10, the second cross stator 20, the second feeding stator 51 and the first intermediate section stator 60 in the same feeding section 90, and can keep track of the operating status of the first feeding stator 50, the first cross stator 10, the second cross stator 20, the second feeding stator 51 and the first intermediate section stator 60 in the same feeding section 90 in real time.

[0048] Please see Figures 5-6 In some embodiments, the transmission line 1 further includes at least two second intermediate sections, each of which includes at least one second intermediate section stator 61. The second intermediate section stator 61 at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​with the first intermediate section stator 60 at the end of the transmission direction, and the second intermediate section stator 61 at the end of the transmission direction is spliced ​​with the first feed end 31. That is, a second intermediate section is also provided between the first intermediate section and the bifurcated stator 30. The second intermediate section is mainly used to continue the transmission of the mover. In one of the second intermediate sections, the transmission direction of the mover in part of the second intermediate section is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the mover in the first intermediate section, so as to change the overall transmission direction of the transmission line 1. That is, the mover no longer moves on a simple straight transmission line 1, so as to meet diverse transmission needs.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figures 5-6The transmission line 1 also includes a third optical fiber 62 and a fourth optical fiber 63. The third optical fiber 62 is connected in series with the second intermediate stator 61 and one branch stator 30 of one of the feed sections 90; the fourth optical fiber 63 is connected in series with the second intermediate stator 61 and another branch stator 30 of another feed section 90. Taking the third optical fiber 62 connected in series with the second intermediate stator 61 and one branch stator 30 of one of the feed sections 90 as an example, in practical applications, the overall length of the transmission line 1 will be relatively long. This may result in a situation where the length formed by splicing multiple first intermediate stators 60 of the first intermediate section and multiple second intermediate stators 61 of the second intermediate section is also relatively long. If the second intermediate section is still connected in series with the first optical fiber 52, signal attenuation is likely to occur, leading to a decrease in signal transmission stability. Moreover, the longer first optical fiber 52 increases the difficulty and complexity of installation. Therefore, by setting the third optical fiber 62 to sequentially connect multiple second intermediate stators 61 and branch stators 30, the stability of signal transmission and the difficulty of installation are ensured.

[0050] In some embodiments, each bifurcation stator 30 further includes a merge plate assembly, a first splitter plate assembly, and a second splitter plate assembly.

[0051] The merging plate assembly includes a merging control plate and a merging coil plate that are electrically connected to each other, and has a first feed end 31; the first diverting plate assembly includes a first diverting control plate and a first diverting coil plate that are electrically connected to each other, and has a first discharge end 32; the second diverting plate assembly includes a second diverting control plate and a second diverting coil plate that are electrically connected to each other, and has a second discharge end 33. Specifically, the mover can move from the second intermediate section stator 61 at the end of the transmission direction through the first feed end 31 to the merging plate assembly, and according to the product carried by the mover, control the merging coil plate and the first diverting coil plate to be energized, so that the mover can move from the merging coil plate to the first diverting coil plate, and from the first discharge end 32 to the first discharge section 91; or control the merging coil plate and the second diverting coil plate to be energized, so that the mover can move from the merging coil plate to the second diverting coil plate, and move to the second discharge end 33, thus realizing the sorting of products.

[0052] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the division of the confluence plate assembly, the first splitter plate assembly, and the second splitter plate assembly in the bifurcation stator 30.

[0053] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the discharge stator includes at least one first discharge stator 70 and at least one second discharge stator 71.

[0054] Specifically, the first discharge stator 70 at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the first discharge end 32 of one of the branch stators 30; the second discharge stator 71 at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the second discharge end 33 of one of the branch stators 30, and the second discharge stator 71 at the end of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the second discharge end 33 of another branch stator 30; that is, after the mover moves from the multiple second intermediate stators 61 of one of the feed sections 90 to one of the branch stators 30, one of the branch stators... The stator 30 can divide the flow according to the products carried by the mover. That is, some of the movers move from the first discharge end 32 of one of the branch stators 30 to the first discharge stator 70, and the other part of the movers move from the second discharge end 33 of one of the branch stators 30 to the second discharge stator 71, and then move through the second discharge stator 71 to another branch stator 30, and then move through the first discharge end 32 of the other branch stator 30 to another discharge section 91, so as to realize the sorting of products.

[0055] To ensure that the third optical fiber 62 can connect the current merging control board, the first current shunting control board, and the second current shunting control board in one of the branch stators 30 in series, the third optical fiber 62 connects the current merging control board, the first current shunting control board, the first discharge stator 70, the second current shunting control board, and the second discharge stator 71 in one of the branch stators 30 in series, so as to realize the series connection between one of the branch stators 30 and the first discharge stator 70 and the second discharge stator 71. Furthermore, a shunting command is sent to the merging control board, the first shunting control board, and the second shunting control board of one of the bifurcated stators 30 via the third optical fiber line 62. After receiving the command, the merging control board communicates with the first shunting control board and the second shunting control board to coordinate the operation of each shunting coil board. That is, if it is decided to shunt the mover to the first discharge end 32, the first shunting control board controls the current of the first shunting coil board according to the command to generate a specific electromagnetic field, so that the mover is subjected to an electromagnetic force in the direction of the first discharge end 32, thereby changing the direction of motion, entering the area of ​​the first shunting coil board, and leaving one of the bifurcated stators 30 at the first discharge end 32. If it is decided to divert the mover to the second discharge end 33, the second diversion control board controls the current of the second diversion coil plate according to the instruction to generate a suitable electromagnetic field, so that the mover is subjected to an electromagnetic force in the direction of the second discharge end 33, enters the area of ​​the second diversion coil plate, and leaves one of the branch stators 30 from the second discharge end 33. In this way, the mover carrying the product can move quickly to the corresponding discharge section 91, so as to improve the efficiency of product sorting.

[0056] Please see Figure 6 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the discharge stator further includes at least one third discharge stator 72 and a plurality of fourth discharge stators 73 connected in sequence.

[0057] Specifically, the third discharge stator 72 at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the second discharge end 33 of another branched stator 30, and the third discharge stator 72 at the end of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the second discharge end 33 of one of the branched stators 30; the fourth discharge stator 73 at the beginning of the transmission direction is spliced ​​to the first discharge end 32 of another branched stator 30; after the mover moves from the multiple second intermediate stators 61 of another feeding section 90 to the other branched stator 30, the other branched stator 30... The system can sort products based on the products carried by the mover. Specifically, some movers move from the first discharge end 32 of another branched stator 30 to the fourth discharge stator 73, while other movers move from the second discharge end 33 of another branched stator 30 to the third discharge stator 72. Then, they move through the third discharge stator 72 to one of the branched stators 30, and through the first discharge end 32 of one of the branched stators 30 to one of the discharge sections 91, thereby achieving product sorting.

[0058] Of course, to ensure that the fourth optical fiber 63 can connect the current merging control board, the first current shunting control board, and the second current shunting control board in the other branched stator 30 in series, the fourth optical fiber 63 connects the current merging control board, the first current shunting control board, the third discharge stator 72, the second current shunting control board, and the fourth discharge stator 73 of the other branched stator 30 in series, thereby realizing the series connection of the other branched stator 30 with the third discharge stator 72 and the fourth discharge stator 73. The working principle of the other branched stator 30 is the same as that of one of the branched stators 30 mentioned above, so it will not be repeated.

[0059] Please see Figure 7 Furthermore, in order to transport the product to a designated location or area for further processing, in some embodiments, the discharge stator further includes multiple fifth discharge stators 74 and multiple sixth discharge stators 75 connected in sequence. The fifth discharge stator 74 at the beginning of the transmission direction is connected to the second discharge stator 71 so that the mover can move from the second discharge stator 71 to the fifth discharge stator 74; the sixth discharge stator 75 at the beginning of the transmission direction is connected to the fourth discharge stator 73 so that the mover can move from the fourth discharge stator 73 to the sixth discharge stator 75.

[0060] Because the third optical fiber 62 connects the second intermediate stator 61 of one feed section 90, one branch stator 30, and the first and second discharge stators 70 and 71 of one discharge section 91 in series, and the branch stator 30 is equipped with a merging control board, a first shunting control board, and a second shunting control board, the third optical fiber 62 needs to transmit signals stably and quickly to accurately control the mover to shun the current to the first or second discharge section 91. If the third optical fiber 62 also connects multiple fifth discharge stators 74 in series, the length of the third optical fiber 62 connection is too long, which can easily lead to unstable signal transmission and installation difficulties. The fourth optical fiber 63 also has the same problems. Therefore, in this embodiment, the transmission line 1 also includes a fifth optical fiber 76. After connecting multiple fifth discharge stators 74 in series through the fifth optical fiber 76, multiple sixth discharge stators 75 are connected in series, which ensures the stability of signal transmission in the third optical fiber 62 and the fourth optical fiber 63, as well as the stability of signal transmission in the fifth optical fiber 76. Furthermore, multiple fifth discharge stators 74 and sixth discharge stators 75 are connected in series via the fifth optical fiber line 76 so that the fifth optical fiber line 76 can promptly provide feedback on the movement position of the mover.

[0061] It should be noted that in the attached diagrams showing different stators connected in series via optical fiber lines, black indicates the input end of the optical fiber line, and white indicates the output end of the optical fiber line.

[0062] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the transmission line 1 is a multi-layer transmission line, which includes an upper transmission line 80, a lower transmission line 81, and multiple optical fiber lines. The upper transmission line 80 and the lower transmission line 81 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, so that the upper transmission line 80 and the lower transmission line 81 can work simultaneously to improve the transmission efficiency and the overall transmission efficiency of the multi-layer transmission line. At the same time, the vertical arrangement of the upper transmission line 80 and the lower transmission line 81 in the multi-layer transmission line can reduce the footprint of the transmission line.

[0063] Both the upper transmission line 80 and the lower transmission line 81 include a feed section 90, a discharge section 91, and a branched stator 30. Multiple feed stators of a section of the feed section 90 in the upper transmission line 80 are connected in series via the same optical fiber, and then multiple feed stators of the same section of the feed section 90 in the lower transmission line 81 are connected in series. In this example, the feed stators and discharge stators of the multi-layer transmission line are connected in series via the same optical fiber, avoiding electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation when multiple optical fibers run in parallel, thus ensuring the stability of data transmission.
