Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation material handling, and in particular to a circulating roller connection device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology, modern production demands increasingly higher levels of automation in material handling and product manufacturing. Traditional conveying systems often rely on manual intervention, resulting in poor flexibility, low efficiency, and complex operation. Common AGV logistics technologies, due to the lack of standardized interfaces for connecting to processing equipment, often only deliver material pallets to the processing equipment without intermediate buffering and scheduling, leading to inefficient production processes and low utilization rates. Furthermore, the mixed transport of finished products and semi-finished products can easily cause process chaos. The product processing process itself also suffers from shortcomings; manual handling is labor-intensive and prone to errors, lacking closed-loop self-circulation capabilities, requiring secondary transfer of materials via external equipment, thus extending production cycle time. Therefore, a more intelligent product processing and flow method is needed to overcome existing production bottlenecks. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circulating roller connection device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing, so as to realize the self-circulation connection of materials, avoid production process chaos, and improve production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A circulating roller connection device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing includes: a mounting frame, a roller conveying module disposed on the upper part of the mounting frame, and a transfer module disposed inside the mounting frame.

[0006] The roller conveying module includes a first material channel and a second material channel arranged side by side. The first material channel includes a feeding position roller group and a processing position roller group arranged along the feeding direction. The second material channel includes a buffer position roller group and a discharge position roller group arranged along the discharge direction. Sensors for detecting the position of the turnover box are provided below the feeding position roller group, the processing position roller group, the buffer position roller group and the discharge position roller group.

[0007] The transfer module includes a transmission mechanism, a first transmission belt group and a second transmission belt group mounted on the transmission mechanism, and an auxiliary rolling assembly. The auxiliary rolling assembly is disposed between the first transmission belt group and the second transmission belt group, and the transmission mechanism is located below the processing position roller group and the buffer position roller group.

[0008] The feed roller group, processing roller group, buffer roller group, and discharge roller group each include several rollers arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction, with adjacent rollers parallel and equally spaced.

[0009] A feed obstruction is provided between the feed roller assembly and the processing roller assembly, and a discharge obstruction is provided at the discharge end of the discharge roller assembly.

[0010] The transfer module also includes a motor and a lifting cylinder. The motor is connected to the first transmission belt group and the second transmission belt group, and the lifting cylinder is connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0017] This utility model is applied to the use of turnover box materials. The transfer of each material will pass through the "U" shaped conveyor line of the first material channel, the transfer module and the second material channel, which maximizes space saving.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a circulating roller connection device based on dual-channel lifting and reversing includes: a mounting frame 1, a roller conveying module 2 disposed on the upper part of the mounting frame 1, and a transfer module 3 disposed inside the mounting frame 1.

[0029] The roller conveyor module 2 includes a first material channel and a second material channel arranged side by side. The first material channel includes a feeding position roller group 211 and a processing position roller group 212 arranged along the feeding direction. The second material channel includes a buffer position roller group 213 and a discharge position roller group 214 arranged along the discharge direction. Sensors for detecting the position of the turnover box are provided below the feeding position roller group 211, the processing position roller group 212, the buffer position roller group 213 and the discharge position roller group 214.

[0030] The transfer module 3 includes a transmission mechanism 33, a first transmission belt group 34 and a second transmission belt group 35 mounted on the transmission mechanism 33, and an auxiliary rolling assembly 36. The auxiliary rolling assembly 36 is disposed between the first transmission belt group 34 and the second transmission belt group 35, and the rotation axis of the auxiliary rolling assembly 36 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first transmission belt group 34 and the second transmission belt group 35.

[0031] The feed roller group 211, the processing roller group 212, the buffer roller group 213, and the discharge roller group 214 each include several rollers perpendicular to the conveying direction. The adjacent rollers are parallel and equally spaced. The distance between adjacent rollers is greater than the width of the first drive belt group 34 or the second drive belt group 35, so as to ensure that the first drive belt group 34 and the second drive belt group 35 can be lifted from below the rollers and support the turnover box.

[0032] The feed roller assembly 211, the processing roller assembly 212, the buffer roller assembly 213, and the discharge roller assembly 214 can all rotate independently.

[0033] A feed block 231 is provided between the feed roller assembly 211 and the processing roller assembly 212, and a discharge block 232 is provided at the discharge end of the discharge roller assembly 214. The feed block 231 and the discharge block 232 are liftable structures used to limit the turnover box and assist in the orderly conveying of materials.

[0034] The transfer module 3 also includes a motor 31 and a lifting cylinder 32. The motor 31 is connected to the first transmission belt group 34 and the second transmission belt group 35 to provide power to the transmission belts to realize the translation of the turnover box. The lifting cylinder 32 is connected to the transmission mechanism 33 to realize the raising and lowering of the transmission mechanism 33 and the first transmission belt group 34 and the second transmission belt group 35 above it.

[0035] The upper part of the mounting frame 1 includes a baffle assembly 11, which includes a first baffle, a second baffle, and a third baffle arranged in parallel. A first material channel is disposed between the first baffle and the second baffle, and a second material channel is disposed between the second baffle and the third baffle.

[0037] The first drive belt assembly 34 and the second drive belt assembly 35 are symmetrical about the second baffle.

[0038] The circulating roller docking device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing also includes an AGV material cart 5 that works in conjunction with the roller conveying module 2 to feed semi-finished materials and discharge finished materials.

[0039] The system includes a control chassis 41, a serial server terminal 42, and an antenna 43. The antenna 43 is mounted on the mounting frame 1 to ensure better reception and transmission of connection signals. The control chassis 41 can communicate directly with the AGV central control platform or with the AGV material cart 5. Based on the collected sensor signals, the control chassis 41 can send connection requests to the AGV central control platform or send material conveying instructions to the AGV material cart 5.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The working process of the circulating roller connection device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] The AGV central control platform issues a transfer task. The AGV material cart 5 loads a semi-finished material turnover box and heads to the feed port of the circulating roller transfer device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing. It sends a query signal to check the feed position status. The query signal is transmitted to the serial port server terminal 42 through the antenna 43 and fed back to the control box 41. The control box 41 obtains the status signal of the feed position sensor 221. When the feed position sensor 221 does not detect the turnover box, the control box 41 sends a transfer consent instruction to the AGV material cart 5 through the serial port server terminal 42 and the antenna 43. At the same time, it controls the feed position roller to start. The turnover box moves from the AGV material cart 5 to the feed position roller group 211. The transfer continues until the turnover box is blocked by the feed block 231 and the feed position sensor 221 detects the turnover box signal. At this time, the feed position roller stops rotating, and the AGV material cart 5 completes the transfer and returns to wait.

[0043] The control box 41 acquires the status of the processing position sensor 222. When there is no signal, the processing position roller group 212 and the feeding position roller group 211 are started, and the feeding block 231 is closed at the same time. The turnover box is transported to the processing position. After the processing position sensor 222 detects the turnover box signal, the processing position roller group 212 and the feeding position roller group 211 stop rotating, and the feeding block 231 returns to the blocking state. At this time, the feeding position can continue to accept the turnover box delivered by the AGV material cart 5.

[0044] After the processing position sensor 222 receives a signal, the control box 41 sends a signal to the robot or operator that the material has arrived. The robot or operator picks up the material and puts it into the processing equipment for production. The finished material is placed into the empty turnover box in the buffer position. This cycle continues until all the material in the turnover box of the processing position is processed and placed into the turnover box of the buffer position. At this time, the robot replies with a processing completion signal or the operator presses the completion button on the touch screen. The control box 41 controls the rotation of the buffer position roller group 213 and the discharge position roller group 214. The turnover box of the finished material is transported until it is blocked by the discharge block 232. The discharge position sensor 224 detects the turnover box signal, and the buffer position roller group 213 and the discharge position roller group 214 stop.

[0045] The control box 41 sends a completion and docking request to the AGV central control platform. The AGV material cart 5 goes to the discharge port, aligns with the discharge port baffle assembly 11, and sends a receiving signal. The control box 41 receives the signal, starts the discharge position roller group 214, and at the same time the discharge block 232 retracts. After the finished material turnover box enters the AGV material cart 5, it replies with the receiving signal, the discharge position roller group 214 stops, and the discharge block 232 extends again.

[0046] When the buffer position sensor 223 does not detect a turnover box, the transfer module 3 is activated. The lifting cylinder 32 lifts the transmission mechanism 33 and the first transmission belt group 34 of the processing position, lifting the empty turnover box away from the roller. The transmission mechanism 33 and the second transmission belt group 35 of the buffer position are raised to the same height. The motor 31 starts, and the first transmission belt group 34 and the second transmission belt group 35 rotate from the processing position to the buffer position. The empty turnover box is transferred from the first transmission belt group 34 to the second transmission belt group 35 of the buffer position via the auxiliary rolling assembly 36. When the buffer position sensor 223 detects a turnover box signal, the motor 31 stops rotating, the lifting cylinder 32 drives the transmission mechanism 33 to retract, and the empty turnover box falls onto the buffer position roller group 313 to wait for the finished material to be put in. The above process is one self-circulation process.

[0047] In summary, the circulating roller connection device based on dual material channel lifting and reversing of this utility model has the functions of parallel conveying of dual material channels, automatic lifting and reversing between workstations, and fully automated flow. It can realize closed-loop operation of incoming material connection, temporary storage for processing, finished product storage and output. Each functional area is relatively independent, which effectively avoids the problem of production process chaos, greatly improves material transfer efficiency, and reduces the frequency of manual intervention.

[0048] This utility model is applied to the use of turnover box materials. The transfer of each material will pass through the "U" shaped conveyor line of the first material channel, the transfer module and the second material channel, which maximizes space saving.

[0049] The position of the turnover box material channel can be changed through the transfer module at the same platform height. Compared with the methods of vertical circulation or different height reversal on the market, it saves the investment in modules, lifting platforms and other components. Relying on a low-cost lifting and reversing mechanism, the cost is lower, the space occupied is smaller, and the maintenance is convenient.

[0050] The control chassis connects to the AGV central control platform via a serial server terminal and antenna. Based on a dual-channel lifting and reversing circulating roller docking device, material sending and receiving are achieved wirelessly. The overall architecture is simple, with less interference in the unified frequency band and rapid interaction.
