[0017] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0018] Example 1 like Figures 1-4 An automatic cooling conveyor line for low-pressure castings, comprising: The main conveyor line 2 is equipped with multiple cooling fans 3, which are distributed at intervals on the main conveyor line 2. Multiple trays are placed on the main conveyor line 2. Multiple branch feeding and buffer lines 4 are distributed at intervals on the side of the main conveyor line 2, and one end of each branch feeding and buffer line 4 is connected to the main conveyor line 2, while the other end is used to extend toward each casting machine 1. The end-of-line large elevator 5 is connected to the tail end of the main conveyor line 2; The unloading area 6 is connected to the end large elevator 5 and is located on the side of the end large elevator 5 away from the main conveyor line 2.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: In use, each tray receives the products cast by each casting machine 1. Specifically, each tray is placed on the main conveyor line 2, and the empty trays are transferred to the corresponding branch feeder and buffer lines 4 via the main conveyor line 2. After the trays on the branch feeder and buffer lines 4 receive the products cast by the corresponding casting machine 1, the branch feeder and buffer lines 4 return the trays containing the products to the main conveyor line 2. The main conveyor line 2 then transports the products to the end large elevator 5, and the end large elevator 5 discharges the products into the unloading area 6 for subsequent processing. During the process of transporting products via the main conveyor line 2, each cooling fan 3 can be activated to cool the products during the transport process, thereby simultaneously meeting the cooling and transport needs of multiple casting machines producing different products and improving production efficiency.

[0020] Example 2 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on Example 1, the main conveyor line 2 includes a first-layer main conveyor line 21, a second-layer main conveyor line 22, and a head hoist 23. The second-layer main conveyor line 22 is located above the first-layer main conveyor line 21. The head hoist 23 is connected to the head of both the first-layer main conveyor line 21 and the second-layer main conveyor line 22. Each cooling fan 3 is spaced apart on the second-layer main conveyor line 22. One end of each branch feeding line and buffer line 4 is connected to the first-layer main conveyor line 21. The head hoist 5 is connected to the tail of both the first-layer main conveyor line 21 and the second-layer main conveyor line 22.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred scheme in the above embodiments is that, during use, each pallet is placed on the first-layer main conveyor line 21, and the empty pallets are transferred to the corresponding branch feeding and buffer lines 4 via the first-layer main conveyor line 21. After the pallets on each branch feeding and buffer line 4 receive the products cast by the corresponding casting machine 1, the branch feeding and buffer lines 4 then return the pallets with products to the first-layer main conveyor line 21. The products are then transported to the first-end elevator 23 via the first-end elevator 23, and then lifted to the second-layer main conveyor line 22 for transport. During the transport of products via the second-layer main conveyor line 22, each cooling fan 3 can be activated to cool the products during the transport process. After the products are transported to the end large elevator 5, they are unloaded into the unloading area 6 for subsequent processing, thereby simultaneously meeting the cooling and transport needs of multiple casting machines producing different products and improving production efficiency.

[0022] Both the first-layer main conveyor line 21 and the second-layer main conveyor line 22 are chain conveyor structures.

[0023] Example 3 like Figure 3 Based on embodiments 1 and 2, each branch feeding and buffer line 4 includes a first-layer branch feeding and buffer line and a second-layer branch feeding and buffer line located above the first-layer branch feeding and buffer line. One end of each first-layer branch feeding and buffer line is connected to the first-layer main conveyor line 21. Each branch feeding and buffer line 4 is equipped with a branch elevator 41.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that, in use, each pallet is placed on the first-layer main conveyor line 21, and the empty pallets are transferred to the corresponding first-layer branch line loading and buffer line through the first-layer main conveyor line 21. Then, the empty pallets are lifted to the second-layer branch line loading and buffer line by the corresponding branch line elevator 41. After the products cast by the corresponding casting machine 1 are received by the pallets on the corresponding second-layer branch line loading and buffer line, the pallets with products are lowered to the first-layer branch line loading and buffer line by the corresponding branch line elevator 41. The products are then reversed and transported to the first-layer main conveyor line 21 through the first-layer branch line loading and buffer line for subsequent processing.

[0025] Example 4 Based on embodiments 1-3, multiple main line photoelectric switches and multiple linear pushers are installed on the first layer main line conveyor line 21. Each main line photoelectric switch and each linear pusher is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each first layer branch line feeding and buffer line. Each main line photoelectric switch is used to determine whether the tray at the entrance of the corresponding first layer branch line feeding and buffer line is an empty tray, and to detect whether the empty tray has reached the effective pushing start position of the corresponding linear pusher. Each linear pusher is used to push the empty tray into the corresponding first layer branch line feeding and buffer line arrangement. Each first layer branch line feeding and buffer line is equipped with a branch line photoelectric switch for determining whether there is a tray in the first layer branch line feeding and buffer line.

[0026] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that, during use, when the branch line photoelectric switch determines that there is no tray in the corresponding first layer branch line feeding and buffer line, and the corresponding main line photoelectric switch recognizes that 'there is an empty tray at the entrance of the first layer branch line feeding and buffer line' and detects that 'the empty tray has reached the effective push start position of the linear pusher,' the corresponding linear pusher is activated to push the empty tray into the first layer branch line feeding and buffer line.

[0027] Example 5 like Figure 1 and Figure 2Based on embodiments 1-4, the end large elevator 5 is provided with a first layer of transmission line 51 and a second layer of transmission line 52 located above the first layer of transmission line 51. The height between the first layer of transmission line 51 and the second layer of transmission line 52 is equal to the height difference between the first layer of main line conveyor 21 and the second layer of main line conveyor 22. The unloading area 6 is connected to both the first layer of transmission line 51 and the second layer of transmission line 52.

[0028] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that after the product is conveyed to the end large elevator 5, the second layer conveyor line 52 receives the product pallet output from the second layer main conveyor line 22 and lowers it to the height of the unloading area 6 for unloading. The empty pallets that need to be replenished can be placed on the first layer conveyor line 51, lifted by the first layer conveyor line 51 and conveyed to the first layer main conveyor line 21 to realize the return and reuse of the empty pallets.

[0029] Example 6 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on embodiments 1-5, the unloading area 6 includes an unloading platform 62 connected to the unloading area elevator 61 and the unloading area elevator 61. The unloading area elevator 61 is connected to both the first layer transmission line 51 and the second layer transmission line 52. The unloading platform 62 is located on the side of the unloading area elevator 61 away from the end large elevator 5.

[0030] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that when the second-layer transmission line 52 receives the product pallet output from the second-layer main transmission line 22 and lowers it to the height of the unloading area 6, the unloading area elevator 61 receives the product pallet output from the second-layer transmission line 52 and transmits it to the unloading platform 62 in the unloading area for subsequent processing.

[0031] Example 7 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on embodiments 1-6, the unloading area 6 also includes a branch buffer platform 63. The branch buffer platform 63 is provided with a first-layer buffer conveyor belt and a second-layer buffer conveyor belt located directly above the first-layer buffer conveyor belt. The feed end of the first-layer buffer conveyor belt is connected to the first-layer transmission line 51, and the feed end of the second-layer buffer conveyor belt is connected to the second-layer transmission line 52. The unloading area elevator 61 is located between the branch buffer platform 63 and the unloading area unloading platform 62.

[0032] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that when the second-layer transmission line 52 receives the product pallet output from the second-layer main transmission line 22 and lowers it to the height of the unloading area 6, the product pallet can be received and buffered by the second-layer buffer conveyor belt. After the unloading area elevator 61 completes the previous conveying action, the next conveying action will be carried out. Meanwhile, the first-layer buffer conveyor belt can buffer empty pallets in order to be conveyed to the first-layer transmission line 51.

[0033] Example 8 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on embodiments 1-7, the second layer main conveyor line 22 is covered with a protective cover, each cooling fan 3 is installed on the protective cover, and the protective cover has multiple smoke exhaust holes 211 through it, each smoke exhaust hole 211 is used to connect to the smoke exhaust dust collector.

[0034] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that, during the cooling process of the castings being conveyed by the cooling fan 3, the flue gas generated during the cooling process is discharged by the flue gas dust collector, which can be directly connected to the factory's waste gas treatment system to achieve green treatment.

[0035] Example 9 like Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on Examples 1-8, each branch feeding line and buffer line 4 is equipped with a six-axis robot 7.

[0036] The advantage of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that the products cast by the casting machine 1 are placed on the pallet by the six-axis robot 7.

[0037] Example 10 Based on Examples 1-9, the number of trays is greater than the number of feeders on the branch line and the number of buffer lines 4, and the difference in number is 2-5.

[0038] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that it ensures that there are empty pallets on the main conveyor line 2 that can be transferred to the branch line and buffer line 4, while preventing congestion on the main conveyor line 2 due to too many empty pallets.
