Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular relates to a lifting and translating conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of automated logistics and intelligent manufacturing, the efficiency of material handling and palletizing systems directly affects the overall operational efficiency of the production line. Traditional palletizing conveyors typically use unidirectional conveying mechanisms (such as roller conveyors or belt conveyors). When multiple palletizing stations need to operate alternately, station interference problems often occur. For example, when a station is carrying out palletizing operations, subsequent pallets cannot cross that station to be conveyed downstream, forcing the production line to stop or requiring the use of complex diversion mechanisms, thus reducing production efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some improved solutions employ double-layer conveying structures or lifting and transferring mechanisms, but these still suffer from drawbacks such as complex structures (e.g., difficulty in multi-motor coordinated control) and low space utilization (e.g., interference in cross-conveying areas). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact, heavy-load stable, intelligently positioned, and flexibly adjustable lifting and transferring conveying device to overcome the technical barriers of multi-station collaborative palletizing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a lifting and translation conveying device to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a lifting and translating conveying device, comprising a base, a first conveying mechanism disposed on the base and conveying material along the X direction, a second conveying mechanism disposed on the base and conveying material along the Y direction, and a lifting drive mechanism for driving the second conveying mechanism to move up and down so that the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism is higher or lower than the conveying plane of the first conveying mechanism; one end of the second conveying mechanism extends into the first conveying mechanism and forms an operating area at the intersection with the first conveying mechanism, and a positioning mechanism for positioning the material around its perimeter is provided in the operating area.

[0006] Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism includes a first driving member fixed on the base and a plurality of conveying rollers driven by the first driving member for conveying; the conveying rollers are arranged along the X direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the second conveying mechanism includes a bracket that is movably mounted on the base, a second driving member fixed on the bracket, and a plurality of conveyor belts that are driven by the second driving member to convey materials along the Y direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with several parallel and spaced support beams, and each support beam is provided with a conveyor belt. The support beams are slender and one end extends into the gap between two adjacent conveyor rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a guide rail for guiding the bracket to move up and down, and the bracket is provided with a sliding member that cooperates with the guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rail is a vertical slide groove structure, and the sliding element is a roller rotatably mounted on the bracket. The roller extends into the vertical slide groove and moves up and down within the vertical slide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism includes a third drive member fixed on the base, a plurality of second transmission rods driven to rotate by the third drive member, and cams fixed at both ends of the second transmission rods. The shaft of the cam is not collinear with the shaft of the second transmission rod. The bottom of the second conveying mechanism is provided with a support plate that cooperates with the cam for transmission. The support plate is located directly above the cam.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a first alignment module located on one side of the operation area in the X direction, a second alignment module located on the other side of the operation area in the X direction, a side limiting block located on one side of the operation area in the Y direction, and a third alignment module located on the other side of the operation area in the Y direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the first alignment module includes a first cylinder fixed on the base and a first alignment plate driven by the first cylinder to move up and down; the second alignment module includes a second cylinder fixed on the base, a first movable plate driven by the second cylinder to move horizontally in the X direction, a third cylinder fixed on the first movable plate, and a second alignment plate driven by the third cylinder to move up and down.

[0014] Furthermore, the side limiting stop includes several limiting rings, the Y-direction position of which is adjustable on the conveying roller; the third alignment module is disposed at the end of the second conveying mechanism. The third alignment module includes a third cylinder fixed on the base and a third alignment plate driven by the third cylinder to move horizontally in the Y-direction.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this lifting and translating conveying device are as follows: through the innovative design of roller-chain composite conveying, cam guide rail lifting, and multi-directional alignment positioning, it ensures stable conveying of heavy loads while achieving dynamic workstation avoidance and high-precision positioning, providing an efficient and reliable conveying solution for modern intelligent production lines. Specifically: (1) It has the functions of efficient space utilization and workstation avoidance: Through the coordinated design of the lifting drive mechanism and the lateral transfer conveyor mechanism, the operation area (palletizing station) can be quickly switched and materials can be transferred. When the adjacent workstation needs to be supplied, the second conveyor mechanism can lift and move the semi-finished product laterally, so that the first conveyor mechanism can seamlessly transport the new pallet to the downstream workstation, which solves the spatial interference problem in the multi-workstation palletizing scenario and significantly improves the continuous operation efficiency of the production line; (2) Stable heavy-duty conveying capacity: The conveying structure adopts a combination of rollers and chains (the first conveying mechanism is supported by rollers, and the second conveying mechanism is driven by chains), which can also be used for the smooth conveying of heavy materials in both X and Y directions. The cam-type lifting drive mechanism, together with the four guide rail support structure, ensures that the lifting process of the second conveying mechanism is stable and reliable, and is especially suitable for the precise positioning and transfer of large-mass materials such as photovoltaic modules; (3) Modular integrated design is achieved: The integrated base integrates all drive and positioning components, simplifying the transportation and installation process. The cross layout of the support beams extending into the gap between the rollers allows the two conveying mechanisms to form an operating area at the spatial overlap, resulting in a compact layout and reduced equipment footprint. Cam drive replaces the traditional hydraulic / pneumatic system, making the structure lighter, reducing energy consumption, and simplifying maintenance; (4) A high-precision positioning system is achieved: the multi-directional alignment module (X / Y bidirectional adjustable clamping + limit ring) works together to achieve precise positioning of the material around its four sides. The combination design of the movable second alignment module and the third alignment module can be adapted to materials of different sizes, ensuring the consistency of the stacking position and improving the stacking quality; (5) It achieves the adaptability of flexible production: Through the gap fit between the conveyor belt and the roller, the adjustable limit ring and the multi-cylinder drive module, the device can quickly adapt to the conveying and positioning requirements of pallets or materials of different specifications, and meet the flexible scheduling requirements of diversified production lines.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment is a lifting and translating conveying device 100, which includes a base 1, a first conveying mechanism 2 disposed on the base 1 and conveying materials in the X direction, a second conveying mechanism 3 disposed on the base 1 and conveying materials in the Y direction, and a lifting drive mechanism 4 for driving the second conveying mechanism 3 to move up and down so that the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 3 is higher or lower than the conveying plane of the first conveying mechanism 2; one end of the second conveying mechanism 3 extends into the first conveying mechanism 2 and forms an operating area 5 at the intersection with the first conveying mechanism 2, and a positioning mechanism 6 is provided in the operating area 5 to position the material around its perimeter.

[0018] This embodiment is applied to position avoidance at multiple material palletizing stations. For example, operating area 5 is used as a palletizing station, with several palletizing stations arranged along the X direction, such as palletizing station A and palletizing station B. The pallet for material palletizing is input from one side of the first conveying mechanism 2 and conveyed to operating area 5, i.e., palletizing station A. The positioning mechanism 6 positions the pallet around its perimeter. The palletizing robot stacks the material on the pallet. If, during the palletizing process, the subsequent palletizing station B has already been completed, it is necessary to... To input the next pallet, the lifting drive mechanism 4 drives the second conveying mechanism 3 to rise to a high position, moving the palletized semi-finished product stack in the operation area 5 along the Y direction out of the operation area 5. Then, the first conveying mechanism 2 transports the pallet to the palletizing station B to meet the material supply needs of the subsequent palletizing station. After the pallet passes the palletizing station A, the second conveying mechanism 3 sends the palletized semi-finished product stack back to the operation area 5 (palletizing station A). The positioning mechanism 6 performs positioning around the perimeter, and then the palletizing robot continues the palletizing operation.

[0019] In this embodiment, the base 1 is an integral base, and the first conveying mechanism 2, the second conveying mechanism 3 and the lifting drive mechanism 4 are all set on the base 1 for convenient transportation.

[0020] The first conveying mechanism 2 includes a first driving member 21 fixed on the base 1 and a plurality of conveying rollers 22 driven by the first driving member 21 for conveying. The conveying rollers 22 are arranged along the X direction to realize the conveying of materials in the X direction. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the conveying rollers 22 enables the bearing of heavy materials and achieves stable and reliable conveying of heavy materials.

[0021] The second conveying mechanism 3 includes a bracket 31 that is movably mounted on the base 1, a second driving member 32 fixed on the bracket 31, and several conveyor belts 33 that are driven by the second driving member 32 to convey materials along the Y direction.

[0022] To enable one end of the second conveying mechanism 3 to extend into the first conveying mechanism 2, in this embodiment, the support 31 is provided with several parallel and spaced support beams 311. Each support beam 311 is equipped with a conveyor belt 33. The support beams 311 are slender and one end extends into the gap between two adjacent conveying rollers 22, achieving partial spatial overlap of the conveying planes of the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 3, thereby forming the operating area 5. All the conveyor belts 33 are connected together by the first transmission rod 34 to achieve synchronous conveying.

[0023] In order to meet the needs of conveying heavy materials, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 33 is a chain. In other embodiments, the conveyor belt 33 may also be a belt or a conveying structure of other materials or other structural forms.

[0024] The base 1 is equipped with a guide rail 11 for the guide bracket 31 to move up and down. The bracket 31 is equipped with a sliding member 312 that cooperates with the guide rail 11. In this embodiment, the guide rail 11 is a vertical groove structure, and the sliding member 312 is a roller rotatably mounted on the bracket 31. The roller extends into the vertical groove and moves up and down within the vertical groove. The base 1 is equipped with four vertical grooves, all with outward openings, located inside the bracket 31. During installation, the bracket 31 is moved to a high position, aligning the four rollers with the positions of the four vertical grooves. Then, the bracket 31 is lowered, and the rollers move downward along the vertical grooves, thus installing the bracket 31. The bracket 31 only has the freedom of up and down movement relative to the base 1, thereby restricting the movement of the bracket 31.

[0025] In other embodiments, the vertical sliding connection between the bracket 31 and the base 1 can also be achieved by using a combination of a slide rail and a slider; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 4 adopts a cam form, specifically including a third drive member 41 fixed on the base 1, several second transmission rods 42 driven by the third drive member 41, and cams 43 fixed at both ends of the second transmission rods 42. The shaft of the cam 43 is not collinear with the shaft of the second transmission rod 42. A support plate 313 that cooperates with the cam 43 for transmission is provided at the bottom of the bracket 31. The support plate 313 is located directly above the cam 43. When the third drive member 41 drives the second transmission rods 42 to rotate, if the cam 43 rotates from a low position to a high position, it will push the support plate 313 upward, realizing the upward movement of the second conveying mechanism 3 as a whole; if the cam 43 rotates from a high position to a low position, the second conveying mechanism 3 will move downward with the cam 43 under its own weight, thereby realizing the lifting drive.

[0027] In this embodiment, two second transmission rods 42 are provided. The rotating end of the third driving member 41 is connected to the two second transmission rods 42 via a chain 44 to achieve synchronous rotation drive. Four cams 43 are provided at both ends of the two second transmission rods 42. These four cams 43 together form a drive cam group that drives the bracket 31 to move up and down, providing stable lifting drive.

[0028] This embodiment designs a cam-type lifting drive mechanism 4, which is more compact, has higher transmission efficiency, lower energy consumption, lower cost, and is simpler to control compared to hydraulic and pneumatic lifting systems.

[0029] The positioning mechanism 6 includes a first alignment module 61 located on one side of the operation area 5X and fixedly mounted on the base 1, a second alignment module 62 located on the other side of the operation area 5X and movably mounted on the base 1, a side limiting stop 63 located on one side of the operation area 5Y, and a third alignment module 64 located on the other side of the operation area 5Y.

[0030] In order to avoid the third correction module 64 from obstructing or interfering with the material when it moves on the second conveying mechanism 3, the third correction module 64 is located at the end of the second conveying mechanism 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the side limiting stop 63 includes several limiting rings (not shown in the figure), and the limiting rings are adjusted in position in the Y direction on the conveying roller 22. In other embodiments, the side limiting stop 63 can also be formed directly from the side baffle on one side of the first conveying mechanism 2.

[0032] The first alignment module 61 includes a first cylinder 611 fixed on the base 1 and a first alignment plate 612 driven by the first cylinder 611 to move up and down.

[0033] The second alignment module 62 includes a second cylinder 621 fixed on the base 1, a first movable plate 622 driven by the second cylinder 621 to move horizontally in the X direction, a third cylinder 623 fixed on the first movable plate 622, and a second alignment plate 624 driven by the third cylinder 623 to move up and down.

[0034] In other embodiments, both the first correction module 61 and the second correction module 62 may be configured as active.

[0035] The third alignment module 64 includes a third cylinder 641 fixed on the base 1 and a third alignment plate 642 driven by the third cylinder 641 to move horizontally along the Y direction. In this embodiment, two sets of the third alignment module 64 are provided, arranged along the X direction, to more effectively act on the long side of the material. In other embodiments, three or more sets of the third alignment module 64 may also be provided.

[0036] After the material arrives at the operating area 5, the first alignment plate 612 is in an upward extended state. The third cylinder 623 drives the second alignment plate 624 to move upward to a high position. Then, the second cylinder 621 drives the second alignment plate 624 to push the material towards the first alignment plate 612. The first alignment plate 612 and the second alignment plate 624 form a clamping form to position the material on both sides in the X direction. At the same time, the third cylinder 641 directly drives the third alignment plate 642 to push it out horizontally, bringing the material closer to the side limiting stop 63 in the Y direction. The side limiting stop 63 and the third alignment plate 642 form a clamping form to position the material on both sides in the Y direction.

[0037] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
