Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to a logistics conveying device for automated production lines. Background Technology

[0002] An automated production line is a production system composed of automated machine systems, conveying systems, and control systems. It can automatically complete processes such as processing, assembly, and testing, and realize continuous and efficient production of products. The workpiece is automatically transferred from one machine tool to another, and the machine tools automatically perform processing, loading and unloading, and inspection.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent No. CN220906257U discloses a logistics conveying device for an automated production line, which includes a roller conveyor belt and logistics packaging boxes. The roller conveyor belt includes multiple sets of rollers arranged laterally. Horizontal base plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the roller conveyor belt, and two sets of symmetrical L-shaped support plates are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two sets of horizontal base plates near their side ends. A lifting pallet mechanism is provided between the two sets of L-shaped support plates. The roller conveyor belt supports the logistics packaging boxes through the lifting pallet mechanism. The length of the logistics packaging boxes is greater than the width of the roller conveyor belt. When applied to an automated production line, this device continues automated operations, saves labor by manually lifting the logistics packaging boxes to receive materials, and avoids the situation where products will be damaged when unloaded from a high place. The logistics packaging boxes are moved laterally by the roller conveyor belt to a lower packaging area for packaging, saving manual labor input and improving the efficiency of logistics packaging and transportation operations.

[0004] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems with the technology: Although the above-mentioned technical solution can move packaging boxes from high places to low places for packing, there are no protective devices on the sides of the packaging boxes during transportation. Therefore, if the packaging boxes tilt, they can easily fall off the roller conveyor belt, affecting normal transportation efficiency. Therefore, further improvements are possible. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a logistics conveying device for an automated production line, comprising a roller conveyor, with protective components on both sides of the top of the roller conveyor to prevent goods from falling, a baffle fixedly installed at the middle of the end of the roller conveyor, and uprights standing on both sides of the roller conveyor. A slide rail seat is fixedly installed on the top of the uprights, and a pick-and-place component for gripping goods is provided between the two slide rail seats. By protecting the goods on both sides of the roller conveyor with the protective components, accidental falling of goods can be prevented. The baffle then stops the goods at the end, after which the pick-and-place component can remove the goods.

[0006] As an optimization, the protective component includes fixed rods fixedly installed on both sides of the roller conveyor. Two crossbeams are fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed rods, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two crossbeams at equal intervals. A rotating roller that contacts the goods is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating rod, and a rubber sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the rotating roller. The rotating roller can prevent the goods from falling accidentally by blocking the goods on both sides, and can move along the roller when the goods tilt and contact it, without hindering the normal transportation of the goods.

[0007] As an optimization, the rotating roller is shaped like an oval with a convex center and narrow ends, and is rotatably connected between two crossbeams via a rotating rod.

[0008] As an optimization, the picking and placing assembly includes a connecting plate slidably connected between two slide rail seats. Slider blocks are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting plate, and the sliders are slidably connected inside the two slide rail seats respectively. A screw is rotatably connected to the center of the interior of one slide rail seat, and the screw is screwed into the interior of the slider. A guide rod is fixedly installed at the center of the interior of the other slide rail seat, and the slider is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. A cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting plate. A gripping component for grasping goods is provided at the bottom of the telescopic end of the cylinder. By driving the screw to rotate inside the slider, the connecting plate is adjusted to position the gripping component directly above the goods. Then, the cylinder drives the gripping component downwards to contact and grasp the goods.

[0009] As an optimization, the gripping component includes a fixed plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder extension end. Springs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed plate, and a movable plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the springs. Several sets of suction cups are provided on the bottom side of the movable plate. By driving the fixed plate downward through the cylinder, the movable plate can be made to abut against the top side of the goods, so that the suction cups can be adsorbed onto the top side surface of the goods.

[0010] As an optimization, guide rods are fixedly installed at the top four corners of the movable plate, and the top of the guide rods are slidably inserted into the four corners of the fixed plate. The springs are sleeved on the outside of the guide rods, and the fixed plate is guided by the guide rods to avoid excessive displacement during downward movement, which would affect the clamping operation of the goods.

[0011] As an optimization, a flexible tube is connected to the center of the movable plate, with one end of the tube connected to the suction cup and the other end connected to an air pump. By pumping air along the tube, a vacuum can be formed inside the suction cup, thereby improving the stability of the adsorption.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The automated production line uses a logistics conveying device to transport goods normally via a roller conveyor. During the conveying process, the protective components standing on both sides of the roller conveyor can block the goods, thus preventing them from falling. When the goods are tilted, they will come into contact with the rollers and move along them, thus not hindering the normal transport of the goods and preventing them from falling accidentally during transport.

[0013] 2. The automated production line uses a logistics conveying device. After the baffle blocks the goods at the end, the drive screw rotates inside the slider, which adjusts the gripper to be directly above the goods. Then, the movable plate moves down to make the suction cup adhere to the top surface of the goods for positioning. At the same time, the air pump draws air along the hose to create a vacuum inside the suction cup, which improves the stability of the adhesion and facilitates the conveying and handling of goods.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 An automated production line logistics conveying device includes a roller conveyor 1. Protective components 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the roller conveyor 1 to prevent goods from falling. A baffle 3 is fixedly installed at the middle of the end of the roller conveyor 1. It also includes a stand 4 erected on both sides of the roller conveyor 1. A slide rail seat 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the stand 4. A pick-and-place component 6 for grabbing goods is provided between the two slide rail seats 5. The protective components 2 protect the goods on both sides of the roller conveyor 1 to prevent the goods from falling accidentally. The baffle 3 blocks the goods at the end, and then the pick-and-place component 6 can be used to remove the goods. Please see Figure 2 The protective component 2 includes fixed rods 7 fixedly installed on both sides of the roller conveyor 1. Two crossbeams 8 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed rods 7. Rotary rods 9 are rotatably connected between the two crossbeams 8 at equal distances. A rotating roller 10 that contacts the goods is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating rod 9. The outer side of the rotating roller 10 is covered with a rubber sleeve. The rotating roller 10 is shaped like an oval with a convex middle and narrow ends. It is rotatably connected between the two crossbeams 8 through the rotating rod 9. The rotating roller 10 can prevent the goods from falling accidentally by blocking the sides of the goods. When the goods tilt and contact the rotating roller 10, they can move along it without hindering the normal transportation of the goods. Please see Figure 3-4 The pick-and-place assembly 6 includes a connecting plate 11 slidably connected between two slide rail seats 5. Both ends of the connecting plate 11 are fixedly mounted with sliders 12, and the sliders 12 are slidably connected inside the two slide rail seats 5 respectively. A screw 13 is rotatably connected to the center of the interior of one slide rail seat 5 and screwed into the interior of the slider 12. A guide rod 14 for guiding is fixedly installed at the center of the interior of the other slide rail seat 5. The slider 12 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 14. A cylinder 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting plate 11. A gripping component for grabbing goods is provided at the bottom of the telescopic end of the cylinder 15. By driving the screw 13 to rotate inside the slider 12, the slider 12 can be driven to slide along the inner wall of the slide rail seat 5. Therefore, the connecting plate 11 will be driven to adjust the gripping component to be directly above the goods. Then, the cylinder 15 will drive the gripping component to contact the goods downward to grab them. After that, the cylinder 15 will lift the goods and drive the screw 13 to reverse so that the goods can be taken out. Please see Figure 3-4The gripping component includes a fixed plate 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic end of the cylinder 15. Springs 17 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed plate 16. A movable plate 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the springs 17. Several sets of suction cups 19 are provided on the bottom side of the movable plate 18. When the fixed plate 16 is moved downward by the cylinder 15, the movable plate 18 can be made to abut against the top side of the goods, thus compressing the springs 17 to avoid over-pressure damage to the goods. Then, the suction cups 19 can be attached to the top side surface of the goods for easy gripping. Guide rods 20 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the movable plate 18, and the top of the guide rods 20 is slidably inserted into the four corners of the fixed plate 16. Springs 17 are sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 20. The guide rods 20 guide the fixed plate 16 to avoid excessive displacement during downward movement, which would affect the gripping operation of the goods. Please see Figure 3-4 The center of the movable plate 18 is connected to a flexible hose 21, one end of which is connected to the suction cup 19 and the other end is connected to an air pump. By pumping air along the hose 21, a vacuum can be formed inside the suction cup 19, thereby improving the stability of the adsorption. Then, by blowing air along the hose 21, the goods can be pushed out, making it convenient to pick up and put down the goods.

[0019] In use, the goods are transported by the roller conveyor 1. The protective components 2 standing on both sides of the roller conveyor 1 prevent the goods from falling. When the goods tilt and come into contact with the roller 10, they move along the roller without obstructing the normal transport of the goods. The baffle 3 blocks the goods at the end. Then, the screw 13 is driven to rotate inside the slider 12, so that the slider 12 slides along the inner wall of the slide rail seat 5. This drives the connecting plate 11 to adjust the gripper to be directly above the goods. Then, the starting cylinder 15 drives the fixed plate 16 to move downward, so that the movable plate 18 abuts against the top side of the goods. This allows the suction cup 19 to be attached to the top side surface of the goods for positioning. The air pump draws air along the hose 21 to create a vacuum inside the suction cup 19, which improves the stability of the suction. Finally, the goods can be lifted by the cylinder 15, and the slider 12 can be reversed to remove the goods. The air pump blows air along the hose 21 to push the goods out, making it convenient to pick up and put down the goods.

[0020] In summary, the automated production line uses a logistics conveying device to transport goods normally via a roller conveyor 1. During the conveying process, the protective components 2 erected on both sides of the roller conveyor 1 can block the goods, thus preventing them from falling. When the goods are tilted, they will come into contact with the rotating roller 10 and move along it, thus not hindering the normal transport of the goods and preventing them from falling accidentally during transport.

[0021] After the baffle 3 blocks the goods at the end, the drive screw 13 rotates inside the slider 12, which will adjust the gripper to be directly above the goods. Then, the movable plate 18 moves down to make the suction cup 19 adhere to the top side surface of the goods for positioning. At the same time, the air pump draws air along the hose 21 to create a vacuum inside the suction cup 19, which improves the stability of the adsorption and makes it easier to transport and pick up the goods.
