Detailed Description

The present embodiment is only for explaining the present invention, and it is not limited to the invention, and those skilled in the art can make modifications without inventive contribution to the present embodiment as needed after reading the present specification, but all of them are protected by patent laws within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1, a cross-line multipoint delivery system includes a plurality of lines 1, and multipoint delivery modules 2 disposed across the lines 1 for directly delivering workpieces to target stations in the middle of the lines 1. The production line 1 comprises an annular main rail and processing stations symmetrically arranged on two sides of the annular main rail along an annular active direction. A workpiece to be processed can be hung on the annular main rail through hangers and the like and moves along the annular main rail, and sequentially passes through all stations on the path of the annular main rail, and when the workpiece reaches the processing station, the workpiece is hung on the processing station from the annular main rail for processing. The processed workpiece can be hung into the annular main rail from the station again and enter the assembly line to circulate to the next station. The workpieces in the line can only pass through a plurality of stations arranged around the circular main rail in sequence in a fixed direction (for example, clockwise or counterclockwise) at a fixed moving speed along with the running beat of the line. Generally, in the prior art, a station for placing a workpiece to be processed (for example, a cut piece of clothing) is fixed at one end of a production line, and the workpiece is hung from the station into an annular main rail of the production line as a starting point of a process of the production line, and is processed into a desired semi-finished product or a desired finished product through each station on the annular main rail in sequence. However, after the assembly line is arranged and installed, the equipment of each station can be easily changed, and the required processing procedures and the processing contents are different according to different processed products. For a specific processed product, processing does not always need to be started from a station at the starting point of the production line, but the specific processed product still needs to enter the production line through the starting point and then sequentially passes through the stations along the production line to reach a target station, so that the processing waiting time of workpieces is long, and the production efficiency is influenced.

In the technical scheme of this embodiment, the workpiece can be directly put into the target station to be put through the multi-point putting module 2 arranged across the assembly line. For example, in the production process, different workpieces are conveyed to corresponding stations according to the whole flow sequence according to the traditional flow requirements, the workpieces in the later process are conveyed to the corresponding stations after the previous process link, the time is wasted, the cross-assembly line multi-point feeding system can directly convey the required workpieces to the corresponding stations, the circulation time of unnecessary stations is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

The multi-drop module 2 comprises a workpiece input track 21 for inputting workpieces, a first transfer track 22 for transferring the workpieces between different lines, and a second transfer track 23 for transferring workpieces between different stations of the same line. The assembly line 1 in fig. 1 is a circular track arranged along a straight line; the workpiece input rail 21 is an annular rail arranged on the side of the process starting points of the plurality of production lines; the first conveying track 22 is arranged above the plane of the annular main track of the production line in the second direction and spans all the production lines; the second conveying rail 23 is an endless rail provided in the first direction. The first direction intersects with (and is preferably disposed substantially perpendicular to) the second direction such that the first conveying track and the second conveying track are staggered. The second conveying track can be arranged above the plane of the main track of the assembly line and can also be arranged on the side of the assembly line. The workpiece input rail 21 is connected with the plurality of assembly lines 1, the assembly line 1 is connected with the workpiece input rail 21 at the same side, if workpieces (such as cut pieces to be processed) need to be processed from a station where the initial position of the assembly line is located, the workpieces are hung and input into the workpiece input rail 21, then are conveyed to the assembly line 1 where a target station is located through the workpiece input rail 21, and enter the processing cycle of the assembly line.

Further, the second conveying rail 23 is provided at the end of the workpiece input rail 21 and is provided on one side of or above the flow line in the second direction in parallel with the plurality of flow lines. The second conveying rail 23 is engaged with the workpiece input rail 21 by the hooking unit 200. Preferably, the second conveying rail 23 may be provided in plural numbers, and each of the plural numbers is provided in parallel with each of the lines. The first conveying rail 22 is disposed across the plurality of lines in the second direction, and one end of the first conveying rail 22 is engaged with the second conveying rail 23 by the hooking unit 200. The first conveying track 22 may be provided with a plurality of sections, which intersect with different stations or processing areas on each production line, and a lifting and dropping unit 100 is provided at the intersection position. The lifting drop-off unit 100 is connected to the line 1 in order to transfer the work pieces on the first conveyor track 22 to the stations or processing areas of the connected line at the crossing position. If it is necessary to start processing from a station at the middle position of the assembly line (in this embodiment, the station at the middle position is only the station in the assembly line except for the station at the initial step of the assembly line), after the workpiece is hung and input into the workpiece input rail 21, the workpiece enters the second conveying rail 23 through the hanging unit 200 as the workpiece input rail moves to the position corresponding to the second conveying rail 23 parallel to the assembly line. The hitching unit 200, which runs on the second conveying track 23 to the first conveying track 22 and the second conveying track 23 corresponding to the target station, enters the first conveying track 22 through the hitching unit. Along the first conveyor track 22 to the line where the target station is located. And the object station of the assembly line is thrown through a lifting throwing unit connected with the assembly line on the first conveying track. Because the first conveying track 22 and the second conveying track 23 are independently arranged with each production line, the arrangement of the running speed can be separated from the production beat arrangement of each production line, the running speed of each production line is different from that of each production line and is higher than that of each production line, and the workpieces can be quickly and accurately thrown in. The workpieces pass through the first conveying rail 22 and are thrown in the cross-production line through the lifting of the lifting and throwing unit 100, so that the workpieces are directly thrown in a required target station, the circulation time of the workpieces passing through unnecessary stations is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

In addition, the workpieces in this embodiment can be circulated between the workpiece input rail 21 and the second conveying rail 23, so that the applicability of the system to different places is improved, and under the condition that the space in the direction of the workpiece input rail 21 is limited in the places is insufficient, the workpieces can be conveyed to a target production line by being circulated between the workpiece input rail 21 and the second conveying rail 23.

Example two

As shown in fig. 2-3, a cross-pipeline multipoint delivery method is adapted to be used in a cross-pipeline multipoint delivery system, and includes the steps of:

s1, inputting the workpiece into the multipoint throwing module 2 through the workpiece input rail 21;

and S2, conveying the workpiece to a target station through the multi-point putting module 2.

The workpiece can be directly thrown to the required target station by changing the method, so that the circulation time of unnecessary stations is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

The workpiece input rail 21 is connected with the second conveying rail 23 through a hanging unit 200, and the second conveying rail 23 is connected with the first conveying rail 22 through the hanging unit 200. The workpieces can flow between the workpiece input rail 21 and the second conveying rail 23.

For example, in the production process, the stations on the first half of the multiple production lines 1 are all in an idle state, and only the stations on the second half are in operation, and at this time, the workpieces can be directly conveyed and delivered to the working stations through the first conveying track 22.

S2-1, the workpiece enters the second conveying rail from the workpiece input rail through the hooking unit 200.

And S2-2, the workpiece enters the first conveying track from the second conveying track through the hanging unit.

The first conveying track 22 comprises a lifting and dropping unit 100 arranged at the crossing position of the first conveying track 22 and the production line 1; the lifting and dropping unit 100 is connected with the production line and used for scheduling and transferring workpieces across the production line. To meet the actual working requirements, the first conveying track 22 is spaced from the production line 1 by a distance of about 2 m in the vertical direction. The first conveying track 22 conveys workpieces to a target station across the assembly line 1, so that rapid conveying and throwing are realized across a plurality of parallel assembly lines 1, the working time is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

And S2-3, the workpiece enters the assembly line where the target station is located from the first conveying rail through the lifting and dropping unit.

In the third embodiment, the first step is that,

based on the first embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that:

as shown in fig. 4, the line 1 comprises a plurality of work groups comprising at least one pair of stations arranged symmetrically in a first direction. Between two adjacent groups of said working groups there is arranged a distribution transfer unit 300 for transferring workpieces between different working groups. The distribution transfer unit 300 is a distribution transfer device disclosed in application number CN 201310529201.6. The distribution transfer unit 300 is used for transferring workpieces between the stations which are symmetrical to each other, and the symmetrical arrangement of the stations has the advantage of facilitating the transfer of the workpieces.

In an actual production process, for example, a shoe making process includes a repeated process in the whole production process, the repeated process is the same manufacturing process, when workpieces used in processing are different, semi-finished workpieces at different schedules in the flow link are arranged in the same group of working groups for resource optimization, and in a traditional processing flow line, the repeated process is arranged at different stations on the flow line, so that more stations and a longer flow line are needed. After grouping improvement, all stations of repeated processes are designed in the same group of working groups, so that the number of the stations is reduced, but the stations need to undergo whole flow internal circulation every time when arriving at the station groups, all the devices are arranged to perform quick grouping transfer, so that the workpieces of the whole group can be directly transferred to the first conveying rail 22 from the current stations in progress through the distribution transfer unit under different schedules, and then the workpieces are conveyed to the second conveying rail 23 through the first conveying rail 22 corresponding to the target working group, and the second conveying rail 23 is conveyed and delivered to the target working group through the first conveying rail 22 corresponding to the target working group.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications within the scope of the appended claims.
