Detailed Description

In order that the objects and advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood, the following description is given in conjunction with the accompanying examples. It is to be understood that the following text is merely illustrative of one or more specific embodiments of the invention and does not strictly limit the scope of the invention as specifically claimed.

Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the embodiment provides a method for transferring materials in an intelligent production line, which includes the following steps:

The trough 110 receives the work to be transferred discharged from the preceding process equipment;

The notch of the trough 110 is adjusted to one side of the material guiding inclined plane 410 for discharging;

Buffering the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece in the process of moving from the notch to the preset position on the material guide inclined plane 410;

the buffered workpieces are arranged in an array with the previously unloaded workpieces on the material guide slope 410.

By adopting the material transferring method for the intelligent manufacturing production line provided by the embodiment, on one hand, the transfer of the workpiece can be realized, and on the other hand, in the material transferring process, the kinetic energy of the currently unloaded workpiece in the process of moving from the notch to the preset position on the material guide inclined plane 410 is buffered, so that the buffered workpiece is prevented from colliding with the previously unloaded workpiece on the material guide inclined plane 410, and the production efficiency and the product yield are further improved.

A further solution of this embodiment is to provide a buffer bar 210 to buffer the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece during the movement process.

A further solution of this embodiment is that one end of the buffer strip 210 is overlapped on the upper surface of the workpiece discharged from the previous discharging position on the material guiding inclined plane 410, and the other end of the buffer strip 210 is extended toward the moving workpiece to buffer the kinetic energy of the moving workpiece, so as to prevent the moving workpiece from directly colliding with the workpiece discharged from the previous discharging position on the material guiding inclined plane 410; after the moving workpieces are buffered, the buffer strip 210 is moved out from between the buffered workpieces and the workpieces discharged from the material guide slope 410, so that the buffered workpieces and the workpieces discharged from the material guide slope 410 abut against each other and are arranged in an array.

A further solution of this embodiment is that the other end of the buffer bar 210 is installed on the trough member 110, and then the state of the trough member 110 is adjusted to adjust the placement position of the buffer bar 210, so that the buffer bar 210 is placed at a position for buffering the kinetic energy of the moving workpiece, or the buffer bar 210 is moved out from between the buffered workpiece and the workpiece discharged from the guide slope 410, so that the buffered workpiece abuts against the workpiece discharged from the guide slope 410 and is arranged in an array.

To further prevent the unloaded workpiece from colliding with the previously unloaded workpiece on the guide ramp 410, a further solution of this embodiment is to mount the end of the buffer strip 210 on the upper surface of the previously unloaded workpiece on the guide ramp 410 before the workpiece in the trough 110 is completely moved out of the notch thereof.

In order to prevent the buffered workpiece from being lifted up by the buffer strip 210 during the extraction process to cause collision of the workpiece, the further solution of the embodiment is to set the buffer strip 210 to be an air-filled structure, and fill the buffer strip 210 with air before the currently unloaded workpiece moves to the previously unloaded workpiece on the material guide slope 410 to buffer the moving workpiece; and before the end of the buffer strip 210 is drawn out from between the buffered workpiece and the workpiece discharged from the guide slope 410, the buffered workpiece is prevented from being lifted during the drawing process of the buffer strip 210 by exhausting the gas inside the buffer strip 210.

In order to prevent the workpiece from being lifted to pass over the workpiece discharged from the front guide inclined plane 410 when the workpiece moves to the preset position due to the thickness of the buffer strip 210 itself, and thus causing the collision between the workpieces, the further embodiment of the embodiment is as follows: the material guiding inclined plane 410 is provided with a vacancy 413 which allows the part of the strip body of the buffering strip 210 corresponding to the preset position to fall below the material guiding inclined plane 410, so that the buffered workpiece is prevented from moving to the preset position and passing over the previously discharged workpiece due to the fact that the center of gravity is lifted.

On the basis that the material guiding inclined plane 410 is provided with the vacant part 413, in order to avoid the buffered workpiece from being lifted up when the buffer strip 210 is pulled out, so as to cause the collision of the workpiece, the embodiment further provides the following preferable scheme: the withdrawing direction of the end of the buffer strip 210 is adjusted by providing a guide assembly below the material guide slope 410 to prevent the buffer strip 210 from lifting the buffered workpiece during withdrawing.

In order to adaptively adjust the guiding component during the position change of the buffering strip 210, the preferred solution of the embodiment is: the extraction of the buffering strip 210 is guided by adopting the translational guide pin 500 as a guide assembly, and the translation of the guide pin 500 is adaptively adjusted in the position change process of the buffering strip 210 by arranging a linkage mechanism, so that the guide pin 500 moves to a position for guiding the extraction of the buffering strip 210 when the part of the body of the buffering strip 210 falls below the guide pin 500, and the guide pin 500 moves to a position for avoiding the moving track of the buffering strip 210 when the tail end of the buffering strip 210 moves below the material guide inclined plane 410.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment of providing the buffer strip 210 to buffer the workpiece, in order to improve the effect of buffering the kinetic energy of the workpiece during the movement, a further preferred embodiment of the present embodiment is as follows: the buffer layer made of soft material is laid on the upper surface of the material guiding inclined plane 410, so that the kinetic energy of the workpiece moving on the buffer layer is buffered.

As shown in fig. 1 to 9, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a material transferring device for an intelligent manufacturing line, which includes a rack, wherein the rack is provided with a material transferring assembly 100 and a buffer assembly 200, and the material transferring assembly 100 is used for temporarily receiving workpieces unloaded from a previous process device and sequentially unloading the workpieces one by one to transfer the workpieces; the buffer assembly 200 is arranged on the motion track of the currently discharged workpiece of the material transferring assembly 100, and is used for buffering the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece in the motion process, and evacuating after the buffered workpiece moves to a preset position, so as to prevent the currently discharged workpiece from directly colliding with the previously discharged workpiece.

wherein, the preset position is set according to the following requirements: when the buffered workpiece reaches the preset position, the workpiece can contact with the buffering assembly 200, and the distance between the buffered workpiece and the workpiece discharged previously can just accommodate the part of the buffering assembly 200 for buffering the buffered workpiece; moreover, when the buffering assembly 200 is evacuated, the kinetic energy of the buffered assembly 200 in the process of moving from the preset position to abut against the previously discharged workpiece is not enough to cause the buffered workpiece to collide and damage the previously discharged workpiece.

the material transferring device for the intelligent manufacturing production line provided by the embodiment temporarily contains the workpieces to be transferred by adopting the material transferring assembly 100, and sequentially discharges the workpieces one by one to transfer the workpieces; the buffer assembly 200 is arranged on the motion track of the workpiece discharged from the current position on the material transferring assembly 100, so that the kinetic energy of the workpiece discharged from the current position is buffered, the workpiece discharged from the current position moves to a preset position and then is evacuated, the buffered workpiece is conveyed to a next process device along with the workpiece discharged from the previous position, the workpiece discharged from the current position is prevented from directly colliding with the workpiece discharged from the previous position after being discharged from the material transferring assembly 100, and the production efficiency and the product yield are improved.

The basic working principle of the embodiment is as follows: firstly, workpieces discharged by equipment in a previous process reach the material transferring assembly 100, so that the influence of the speed of discharging the workpieces by the equipment in the previous process on the feeding speed in a next process is avoided; then, the material transferring component 100 sequentially discharges the temporarily contained workpieces one by one, so that the workpieces are sequentially conveyed to the next process equipment, and the workpieces are transferred; in the process that the currently discharged workpiece moves to the preset position from the material transferring assembly 100, the buffer assembly 200 is arranged on the motion track of the currently discharged workpiece to buffer the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece in the motion process, so that the currently discharged workpiece is prevented from directly colliding with the previously discharged workpiece, and after the buffered workpiece moves to the preset position, the buffer assembly 200 is evacuated, so that the buffered workpiece is sequentially conveyed to a next process device along with the previously discharged workpiece.

Regarding how the material transferring assembly 100 specifically realizes material receiving and discharging, and how the buffering assembly 200 cooperates with the material transferring assembly 100, the preferred solution of the present embodiment is: the material transferring assembly 100 comprises a channel member 110, the channel member 110 is rotatably mounted on the frame in two states, one is: the notch of the channel piece 110 faces upwards to be used as a receiving position for temporarily containing workpieces; the second is as follows: the trough 110 is inverted to a discharge position that allows the workpieces within the trough 110 to be removed. Therefore, the material transferring assembly 100 specifically adopts the rotatably installed channel-shaped member 110 for receiving and discharging materials, and can receive and temporarily contain the workpieces to be transferred when the notch of the channel-shaped member 110 is in an upward state; transfer of the workpiece is accomplished by inverting the slot of the channel 110 so that the workpiece is removed from the channel 110. The material transferring device further comprises an A adjusting component 300, wherein the A adjusting component 300 is used for adjusting the channel-shaped part 110 to be switched between the material receiving position and the material discharging position. The trough 110 as shown in fig. 5-9 is in a receiving position.

During the process of switching the channel 110 from the receiving position to the discharging position, the currently discharged workpiece moves to the preset position in a rolling manner, and the buffer assembly 200 buffers the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece during the rolling process, and withdraws after the buffered workpiece rolls to the preset position, so that the buffered workpiece can be sequentially conveyed following the previously discharged workpiece. In addition, the outer contour of the workpiece is columnar, and the length direction of the workpiece coincides with the groove length direction of the channel 110. The outer contour of the workpiece is columnar, and the length direction of the workpiece is consistent with the length direction of the groove of the channel-shaped part 110. The outer contour of the workpiece is columnar, namely the outer contour of the workpiece is one or more of columnar, conical columnar, quasi-columnar or quasi-conical columnar which can roll.

As shown in fig. 1 to 6 and 8, the present embodiment provides a further preferable scheme: the material transferring device further comprises a material guiding inclined plane 410, the material guiding inclined plane 410 is arranged in an inclined manner, an end A411 of the material guiding inclined plane 410 is arranged corresponding to the channel-shaped member 110, workpieces unloaded before the material transferring assembly 100 are arranged at an end B412 of the material guiding inclined plane 410 in an arrayed manner, the end B412 is used for being arranged corresponding to a feeding end of equipment in a next process, and the height of the end A411 is larger than that of the end B412, so that the unloaded workpieces can roll to the feeding end of the next process in sequence, and the workpiece transferring efficiency is improved. The length direction of the workpiece on the material guiding inclined plane 410 is consistent with the channel length direction of the channel-shaped part 110, and the workpiece moves to the preset position in a rolling mode, so that the posture of the workpiece in the channel-shaped part 110 is consistent with the posture of the workpiece when the workpiece is conveyed on the material guiding inclined plane 410, the unloading efficiency of the workpiece from the channel-shaped part 110 and the conveying efficiency of the workpiece on the material guiding inclined plane 410 are improved, and the transferring efficiency of the workpiece is further improved. In particular, how the buffering assembly 200 buffers the workpiece discharged from the trough member 110, in practice, the buffering assembly 200 includes a buffering strip 210 made of a soft material, the buffering strip 210 is mounted on a side edge portion of the trough member 110 close to the material guiding slope 410, and a length direction of the buffering strip 210 is identical to an outward extending direction of the side edge portion; after the currently discharged workpiece rolls to the preset position, the end of the buffer bar 210 is pulled away from between the currently discharged workpiece and the previously discharged workpiece on the guide slope 410. The working principle of the buffer strip 210 for buffering the workpiece is as follows: the trough member 110 is gradually turned over towards the material guide slope 410 side, so that the workpiece in the trough member 110 rolls and gradually rolls to the preset position on the material guide slope 410 along the buffer strip 210, and during the process that the buffered workpiece moves from the notch of the trough member 110 to the preset position, the buffer strip 210 buffers the kinetic energy of the buffered workpiece, so that the kinetic energy of the buffered workpiece is reduced; before the buffered workpiece rolls to the preset position, the tail end of the buffer strip 210 is already arranged on the upper surface of the previously discharged workpiece on the material guide inclined plane 410, so that when the buffered workpiece rolls to the preset position, the buffered workpiece is prevented from directly colliding with the previously discharged workpiece; furthermore, after the currently unloaded workpiece rolls to the preset position, the tail end of the buffering strip 210 is drawn away from the space between the currently unloaded workpiece and the previously unloaded workpiece on the material guiding slope 410, so that the buffered workpieces are sequentially conveyed in an arrangement shape following the previously unloaded workpiece.

The material guiding inclined plane 410 is formed by a table top of the material guiding table 400, the material guiding table 400 is mounted on the frame, and the material guiding table 400 further comprises material blocking portions which are oppositely arranged on two sides of the material guiding inclined plane 410 in the width direction and used for guiding and limiting the workpiece.

Because the buffer strip 210 is made of soft material, when the trough member 110 is at the receiving position, the end (the end far away from the trough member 110) of the buffer strip 210 is bent downward due to its own gravity, and further, when the trough member 110 is turned from the receiving position to the discharging position, the end of the buffer strip 210 can be overlapped on the upper surface of the workpiece discharged previously on the material guiding inclined plane 410 before the trough member 110 is completely switched to the receiving position; however, in this process, it should be considered that if the length of the buffer strip 210 is not long enough, the workpiece may roll down from the end of the buffer strip 210 onto the material guiding slope 410 before the end of the buffer strip 210 is set on the previously discharged workpiece, so that the currently discharged workpiece collides with the previously discharged workpiece on the material guiding slope 410. In order to solve this problem, the present embodiment further preferably provides: the length of the buffer strip 210 and the shape of the slot of the channel 110 are set as follows: before the trough member 110 is turned over until the workpieces in the trough member 110 are completely moved out of the slot opening of the trough member 110, the end of the buffer strip 210 can be placed on the upper surface of the previously discharged workpiece on the material guide slope 410. The desired effect that can be achieved thereby: on one hand, the buffer strip 210 can buffer the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece before the workpiece rolls to the preset position, and on the other hand, the workpiece can be prevented from directly colliding with the previously discharged workpiece on the material guide slope 410.

According to the scheme provided by the foregoing embodiment, the technical challenges that have been solved include: the buffer is implemented on the currently discharged workpiece, and the current discharged workpiece is prevented from directly colliding with the previously discharged workpiece. However, after buffering the currently discharged workpiece, the following problems are likely to be encountered: during the process of drawing the end of the buffer strip 210 away from between the buffered workpiece and the previously unloaded workpiece on the material guide slope 410, the buffered workpiece is lifted, and even the buffered workpiece is lifted to pass over the previously unloaded workpiece and collide with other previously unloaded workpieces, resulting in damage to the workpiece.

In order to solve this technical problem, an implementation scheme provided in this embodiment is as follows: the buffer strip 210 has an internal cavity, the length direction of the internal cavity is the same as the length direction of the buffer strip 210, the internal cavity is used for filling air before the buffer strip 210 buffers the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece, and the internal cavity is used for emptying air before the tail end of the buffer strip 210 is drawn out from between the currently discharged workpiece and the previously discharged workpiece on the guide slope 410. The principle of this embodiment is: before the buffer strip 210 buffers the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece, or before the currently discharged workpiece moves out of the notch of the channel 110, the internal cavity of the buffer strip 210 is filled with air, so that the buffer strip 210 is in an extended state to have a buffering function, thereby being beneficial to enabling the buffer strip 210 to be erected on the upper surface of the previously discharged workpiece along with the overturning of the channel 110 and buffering the kinetic energy of the currently discharged workpiece; more particularly, before the buffer strip 210 is extracted, the gas in the buffer strip 210 is exhausted, so that the thickness of the buffer strip 210 is reduced, the overall shape cannot be fixed, and the probability of lifting the buffered workpiece can be effectively reduced in the process of extracting the buffer strip 210.

Further, a plastic strip having a cavity inside may be used as the buffer strip 210, and the thickness of the plastic strip is only required to prevent the buffered workpiece from being lifted when the workpiece is pulled away.

As shown in fig. 4 to 9, during the movement of the currently discharged workpiece to the preset position, there also occurs a case where: because the buffering strip 210 itself has certain thickness, consequently can raise the focus of work piece, if the thickness of buffering strip 210 is when thicker, the work piece will probably cross the work piece continuation motion that the previous was unloaded after moving to preset position to can lead to the damage of colliding with between the work piece again, consequently the further embodiment of this embodiment is: the guide inclined plane 410 is provided with a vacancy 413 matched with the buffer strip 210 at a position corresponding to a preset position, the vacancy 413 and the buffer strip 210 are arranged correspondingly, and before a currently discharged workpiece rolls to the preset position, part of the body of the buffer strip 210 falls into the vacancy 413 and is located below the guide inclined plane 410. The principle of this embodiment is: by partially accommodating the body of the buffer strip 210 in the gap 413, the center of gravity of the currently discharged workpiece is effectively lowered, so that the buffered workpiece is prevented from passing over the previously discharged workpiece after reaching a preset position, and the buffered workpiece is stopped closely to the tail end of the buffer strip 210. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the aforementioned cushioning strip 210 having an inflatable and deflatable structure is also suitable for use in this embodiment.

as shown in fig. 4 and 8, the vacancy 413 may extend from a predetermined position to an end surface of the a end 411 of the guide slope 410. In addition, the hollow part 413 may be a groove structure, or may be a notch formed on the material guiding inclined plane 410, as long as the above functions are realized. Of course, it is preferable that: when the buffer strip 210 falls into the vacancy 413, it is below the material guide slope 410.

As shown in fig. 5 to 9, in order to solve the above technical problem, another embodiment provided in this embodiment is: the present embodiment is based on the foregoing embodiment, that is, the material guiding inclined plane 410 has the vacant part 413 corresponding to the buffering strip 210.
