Description

Technical Field

[0002] In modern industry, efficient and accurate material handling is key to improving production efficiency. On automated production lines, the layout of conveyor lines directly impacts production efficiency and cost control. Corner conveyor lines, as a special type of conveying equipment, were initially designed to solve the problem of large space requirements at corners in traditional conveyor lines, saving space and improving conveying efficiency through right-angle turns. However, existing corner conveyor lines suffer from the following problems: low space utilization; the conveyor line often requires a large turning radius at corners, occupying more space and resulting in a less compact overall layout. Low conveying efficiency; corner conveying methods usually rely on robotic arms or pushers, which, while achieving vertical turning, are costly and may not meet the requirement of maintaining stable conveying after a vertical turn. Material damage; forced corner conveying by external force leads to a high material breakage rate. Complex structure; to achieve corner conveying, the conveyor line may need to introduce additional mechanical devices or structures, making the conveyor line structure more complex.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Existing corner conveyor lines suffer from the following problems: low space utilization, as the conveyor line often requires a large turning radius at corners, occupying more space and resulting in a less compact overall layout; low conveying efficiency, as corner conveying methods typically rely on robotic arms or pushers, which, while enabling vertical turning, are costly and may not meet the requirement of maintaining stable conveying after a vertical turn; material damage is high, as forced corner conveying by external force leads to a high rate of material breakage; and structural complexity, as implementing corner conveying may require the introduction of additional mechanical devices or structures, making the conveyor line more complex.

[0036] In view of this, the present invention provides a conveyor line transfer device, including: a first conveyor line 100 and a second conveyor line 200, the first conveyor line 100 and the second conveyor line 200 being perpendicular to each other, and the conveying starting point of the second conveyor line 200 being set on the conveying path of the first conveyor line 100; the first conveyor line 100 is provided with a lifting mechanism, which can drive the first conveyor line 100 to descend when the material is transported to the conveying starting point of the second conveyor line 200, so that the material is conveyed through the second conveyor line 200.

[0037] The material is conveyed forward along the conveying direction on the first conveyor line 100. Since the starting point of the second conveyor line 200 is on the conveying path of the first conveyor line 100, when the material is conveyed to the starting point of the second conveyor line 200, the lifting mechanism drives the first conveyor line 100 to descend, so that the material continues to be conveyed through the second conveyor line 200 in a direction perpendicular to the first conveyor line 100, thereby realizing the vertical turning of the material.

[0038] The conveyor line transfer device boasts high space utilization. The starting point of the second conveyor line 200 is located on the conveying path of the first conveyor line 100, resulting in a small overall footprint and compact layout. It offers high conveying efficiency, achieving vertical turning without the need for robotic arms or pushers, and maintaining stable conveying even after vertical turning. Materials are not easily damaged; corner conveying can be achieved without external force, ensuring materials remain intact during transport. The structure is simple; the conveyor line does not require additional turning devices or structures, resulting in a simple overall structure and lower cost.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the first conveyor line 100 is provided with a hollow outer frame structure 110, which is located at the starting point of the second conveyor line 200 and on the conveying path of the second conveyor line 200.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first conveyor line 100 has a hollow outer frame structure 110 along its conveying path. The outer frame structure 110 is positioned at the starting point of the second conveyor line 200, and at a distance from the starting point of the second conveyor line 200 equal to the width of the first conveyor line 100. In other words, the outer frame structure 110 disconnects the first conveyor line 100, allowing it to rise and fall independently relative to the first conveyor line 100. When no material is being conveyed, the height of the outer frame structure 110 is slightly higher than the height of the second conveyor line 200. When material is conveyed above the second conveyor line 200, the outer frame structure 110 descends under the action of a lifting mechanism, causing the material to fall onto the second conveyor line 200. Simultaneously, the outer frame structure 110 does not interfere with the conveying of material on the second conveyor line 200. This configuration ensures that the first conveyor line 100 and the second conveyor line 200 do not interfere with each other structurally. When the material is transferred to the outer frame structure 110 on the first conveyor line 100, the outer frame structure 110 is lowered by the lifting mechanism, so that the material is received by the second conveyor line 200 and continues to be transferred through the second conveyor line 200 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying path of the first conveyor line 100.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the outer frame structure 110 is provided with a first photoelectric sensor 120, which is signal-connected to the lifting mechanism.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 The first photoelectric sensor 120 is installed on the side wall of the outer frame structure 110. When the material is transferred to the outer frame structure 110, the first photoelectric sensor 120 detects the position of the material through photoelectric detection and transmits a descent signal to the lifting mechanism, so that the lifting mechanism runs and drives the outer frame structure 110 to descend. The material will be received by the second conveyor line 200 due to the descent of the outer frame structure 110 and continue to be transferred along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 200.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, a second photoelectric sensor is provided at the bottom of the first conveyor line 100, and the second photoelectric sensor is signal-connected to the lifting mechanism.

[0044] The second photoelectric sensor is mounted on a bracket at a preset descent height at the bottom of the first conveyor line 100. When the lifting mechanism lowers the outer frame structure 110 to this height, the second photoelectric sensor detects the descent height of the outer frame structure 110 through photoelectric detection and transmits a stop descent signal to the lifting mechanism, causing the lifting mechanism to stop and the outer frame structure 110 to stop at that height. Once it is detected that all material has been transferred to the second conveyor line 200 without affecting the rise of the outer frame structure 110, the lifting mechanism raises the outer frame structure 110 back to its original position for the next material conveying cycle. Alternatively, a mass sensor can be installed on the outer frame structure 110 or the second conveyor line 200 to detect the weight of the material on either structure and line to determine if the material has been completely transferred.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive motor 300, a transmission assembly, and a lifting leg 400. The transmission assembly is connected to the lifting drive motor 300 and the lifting leg 400, respectively. The end of the lifting leg 400 away from the transmission assembly is connected to the outer frame structure 110.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 Upon receiving a signal, the lifting drive motor 300 drives the transmission assembly to move, which in turn causes the lifting outriggers 400 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the lifting outriggers 400 causes the outer frame structure 110 to move up and down synchronously.

[0047] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a drive wheel 510, an eccentric wheel 520, and a transmission chain 530. The drive wheel 510 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting drive motor 300. The eccentric wheel 520 is arranged opposite to the drive wheel 510 and is connected to the lifting outrigger 400. The transmission chain 530 is connected between the drive wheel 510 and the eccentric wheel 520.

[0048] Please see Figure 4 The lifting drive motor 300 drives the drive wheel 510 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 510 acts on the eccentric wheel 520 through the transmission chain 530, causing the eccentric wheel 520 to perform eccentric motion. Since the eccentric wheel 520 is connected to the lifting outrigger 400, the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel 520 is converted into the lifting motion of the lifting outrigger 400, thereby realizing the lifting of the outer frame structure 110.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism further includes a fixed frame 600, which is provided with a first platform 610 and a second platform 620. The lifting drive motor 300 is installed on the first platform 610, and the eccentric wheel 520 is installed on the second platform 620.

[0050] Please see Figure 4The first platform 610 and the second platform 620 are respectively set on both sides of the fixed frame 600. The lifting drive motor 300 is fixedly installed on the first platform 610, and the eccentric wheel 520 is fixedly installed on the second platform 620.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the first conveyor line 100 is a plate chain conveyor line, which is equipped with a first driving mechanism and is signal-connected to the first photoelectric sensor 120.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 100 adopts a plate chain conveying method, and the driving force is provided by the first driving mechanism. When the first photoelectric sensor 120 detects that the material has been conveyed to the outer frame structure 110, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits a stop signal to the first driving mechanism, and the first driving mechanism stops running, so that the first conveyor line 100 no longer conveys material. When the first photoelectric sensor 120 detects that the outer frame structure 110 has reset, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits an operation signal to the first driving mechanism, so that the material can be conveyed through the first conveyor line 100.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the second conveyor line 200 is a roller conveyor line, which is equipped with a second drive mechanism and is signal-connected to the first photoelectric sensor 120.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the second conveyor line 200 adopts a roller conveying method, and the driving force is provided by the second drive mechanism. When the first photoelectric sensor 120 detects that the material is conveyed to the outer frame structure 110, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits an operation signal to the second drive mechanism, so that the material can be conveyed through the second conveyor line 200 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 100.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, a discharge sensor is provided at the end of the roller conveyor line, and the discharge sensor is signal-connected to the second drive mechanism.

[0056] After the material has been conveyed through the second conveyor line 200, the discharge sensor detects that the material has left the second conveyor line 200 and transmits a stop signal to the second drive mechanism. The second drive mechanism stops running, so that the second conveyor line 200 no longer transmits material, thereby effectively saving energy.

[0057] The operation process of the conveyor transfer device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] Material is conveyed forward along the conveying direction on the first conveyor line 100. When the material reaches the outer frame structure 110, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits a descent signal to the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism drives the outer frame structure 110 to descend. Simultaneously, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits an operation signal to the second drive mechanism. The material is then received by the second conveyor line 200 and continues to be conveyed along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 200. After the material has been conveyed through the second conveyor line 200, the discharge sensor transmits a stop signal to the second drive mechanism. The second drive mechanism stops operating, preventing the second conveyor line 200 from conveying any more material. When the lifting mechanism drives the outer frame structure 110 to a preset height, the second photoelectric sensor transmits a stop descent signal to the lifting mechanism. The outer frame structure 110 stops at this height. Once it is detected that all the material has been transferred to the second conveyor line 200 without affecting the upward movement of the outer frame structure 110, the lifting mechanism drives the outer frame structure 110 to rise back to its original position. After the first photoelectric sensor 120 detects that the outer frame structure 110 has been reset, the first photoelectric sensor 120 transmits an operating signal to the first drive mechanism, enabling the material to be transported again through the first conveyor line 100.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model 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. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
