[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] First Embodiment
[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a conveying system that can fully automate the conveying of yarn spindles, provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the mobile frame. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting frame.
[0027] A conveying system that can fully automate the conveying of yarn spindles includes: a sliding guide rail 1 and a robot gripper 6;
[0028] A movable frame 2, wherein multiple movable frames 2 are equidistantly slidably installed at the middle of the bottom of the sliding guide rail 1, each movable frame 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a hanging plate 22, and a limiting block 23. The mounting plate 21 is slidably installed at the bottom of the sliding guide rail 1, two hanging plates 22 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of one side of the outer surface of the mounting plate 21, and the limiting block 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the hanging plate 22.
[0029] The lifting frame 3 is located on one side of the bottom of the sliding guide rail 1. A temporary storage rack 4 is provided on the surface of the lifting frame 3. The lifting frame 3 is used to adjust the height of the temporary storage rack 4. The temporary storage rack 4 is used to store yarn spindles.
[0030] The lifting frame 3 includes a support plate 31, a fixing plate 32, a fixing block 33, a driving component 34, a threaded rod 35, and a limiting rod 36. The support plate 31 rests on the ground. The fixing plate 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the support plate 31. The fixing block 33 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the outer surface of the fixing plate 32. The driving component 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the support plate 31. The threaded rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft of the driving component 34 through a coupling. The limiting rod 36 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the fixing block 33.
[0031] The temporary storage rack 4 includes a lifting block 41, a shelf 42, a blocking block 43, a retaining groove 44, and a baffle 45. The lifting block 41 is threadedly engaged with the outer surface of the threaded rod 35. The shelf 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 33. The four blocking blocks 43 are respectively fixedly installed around the top of the shelf 42. The retaining groove 44 is opened on one side of the outer surface of the blocking block 43. The two baffles 45 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the shelf 42.
[0032] The front side of the lifting frame 3 is provided with a transport seat 5, which is used to transport the yarn spindle to the interior of the temporary storage frame 4.
[0033] The robotic gripper 6 is used to recover the transported yarn spindles.
[0034] The robot gripper 6 is equipped with two gripping claws that can grip and remove the yarn spindle from both sides. The main body of the robot gripper 6 is divided into upper and lower sections, which allows the gripping claws to move upward a little distance, so that the hollow cylinder of the yarn spindle is not affected by the limiting block 23 and can be easily removed. The gripping claws can rotate and flip, placing the yarn spindle on the transport frame and being pulled away.
[0035] The sliding guide rail 1 and the moving frame 2 can achieve curved sliding and long-distance transportation. The sliding guide rail 1 can use a V-shaped curved guide rail with a V-shaped guide rail surface. The top of the moving frame 2 is equipped with rollers with V-shaped grooves. Through the line contact between the rollers and the V-shaped surface, it can withstand radial force and adapt to trajectory changes at curves by rotating the rollers, reducing friction. Alternatively, it can be guided by the repulsive / attractive force constraint between the curved magnetic rail and the built-in magnet of the slider through a magnetic drive system. With the help of a linear motor drive, it can achieve contactless curved sliding, which is suitable for high-precision and low-friction scenarios and is the existing technology.
[0036] After the hanging plate 22 passes through the middle of the spindle, the spindle moves downward as the temporary storage rack 4 moves downward. However, the middle hole of the spindle is supported and transported by the hanging plate 22, and the limiting block 23 blocks the side of the spindle, making it difficult for the spindle to fall.
[0037] The working principle of the conveying system for fully automated yarn spinning provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0038] During operation, the yarn spindles are first transported to the interior of the temporary storage rack 4 via the transport seat 5. The first and second yarn spindles are stacked one on top of the other by the blocking block 43.
[0039] The output shaft of the drive component 34 rotates, causing the threaded rod 35 to rotate. The threaded rod 35 rotates and engages the lifting block 41. The lifting block 41 slides upward along the limit rod 36. The lifting block 41 drives the shelf plate 42 to push the stacked spindles upward.
[0040] The moving frame 2 slides on the bottom surface of the sliding guide rail 1 to the position of the temporary storage frame 4. The hanging plate 22 passes through the middle hole of the spindle, and then the temporary storage frame 4 stops moving. At this time, the threaded rod 35 rotates in the opposite direction, the temporary storage frame 4 slides down, the temporary storage frame 4 and the spindle are separated, and the moving frame 2 continues to slide and transport to the next destination.
[0041] The robot gripper 6 can use its grippers to hold and remove the yarn spindles.
[0042] Compared with related technologies, the conveying system for fully automated yarn conveying provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0043] This invention provides a conveying system that can fully automate the conveying of yarn spindles. The yarn spindles are transported to the interior of the temporary storage rack 4 via the transport seat 5. The interior of the temporary storage rack 4 can stack two yarn spindles. The temporary storage rack 4 can then transport the two yarn spindles upwards, so that the moving frame 2 hangs the two yarn spindles. As the temporary storage rack 4 moves downwards, the yarn spindles are transported on the moving frame 2. After being transported to the destination, they can be clamped and unloaded by the robot gripper 6. This device has a simple structure, is highly practical, and can transport two yarn spindles simultaneously, improving the handling efficiency of yarn spindles and increasing the production efficiency of the factory.

[0047] A threaded block 11 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer surface of the hanging plate 22.
[0048] The threaded block 11 is threadedly engaged on the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 9 and also slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the slide bar 8, so that the threaded block 11 can only slide when the reciprocating screw 9 rotates.
[0049] The working principle of the conveying system for fully automated yarn spinning provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0050] During operation, the user first rotates the adjusting block 10 to drive the reciprocating screw 9 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 9 rotates and engages the threaded blocks 11 on both sides of the outer surface. The two threaded blocks 11 slide on the surface of the slide bar 8. The two threaded blocks 11 move closer to each other or further away from each other. The threaded blocks 11 drive the hanging plate 22 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two hanging plates 22.
[0051] Compared with related technologies, the conveying system for fully automated yarn conveying provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0052] This utility model provides a conveying system that can fully automate the conveying of yarn spindles. By rotating the adjusting block 10, the reciprocating screw 9 is driven to rotate. The reciprocating screw 9 rotates and the threaded blocks 11 on both sides of the outer surface of the threaded engagement are moved away from or closer to each other. The threaded blocks 11 drive the hanging plate 22 to move, and the distance between the two hanging plates 22 can be adjusted to adapt to the transport of yarn spindles of different diameters, thereby improving the practicality and flexibility of the device.
