In the description of the present invention, unless explicitly defined otherwise, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, for example, when two components are connected, the two components may be directly connected or indirectly connected through a connection structure, or there may be association between aspects such as manufacturing process, control flow, etc., and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the terms in the present invention by combining the specific contents of the technical solutions.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a connection system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first device 100 and a second device 200 that can be docked with the first device 100. Wherein the first apparatus 100 is provided with: the first material transfer part 110 and the power docking device 120, the power docking device 120 is connected with the first material transfer part 110, and the power docking device 120 has a first joint part 130 and a rotary driving part 140 for driving the first joint part 130 to rotate. The second apparatus 200 may be carried by the carrying device 300 to dock with the first apparatus 100 or be transferred with respect to the first apparatus 100. The second apparatus 200 has a rack 210 for carrying the item 201, the rack 210 being provided with a second item transfer portion 220 and a second engaging portion 230. Wherein the second material transfer part 220 is used for transferring the material 201, and is docked with the first material transfer part 110 according to the docking of the first apparatus 100 and the second apparatus 200. The second engaging portion 230 is coupled to at least one end of the second material transfer portion 220, coupled to the powered docking mechanism 120 in response to docking of the first apparatus 100 with the second apparatus 200, and causes the second material transfer portion 220 to be driven by the powered docking mechanism 120 such that the material 201 is transferred between the first material transfer portion 110 and the second material transfer portion 220.

In this embodiment, since the second material transfer portion 220 of the second facility 200 for transferring the material 201 is driven by the first facility 100 docked with the second facility 200, it is not necessary to provide a separate driving system on the second facility 200, and the cost of the second facility 200 can be reduced. In addition, since one set of power system of the second equipment 200 can correspond to a plurality of sets of second equipment 200 without independent driving systems, the cost of the production line can be greatly reduced.

It is contemplated that material 201 should be broadly understood, and material 201 may be exemplified by: the workpieces, products, and the like to be processed may be directly placed on the rack 210 of the second facility 200, or may be loaded on a jig, a tray, and the like, and then placed on the rack 210.

The first equipment 100 is not particularly limited as long as it has an independent power system, and may be, for example, an independent equipment fixed on the ground, an independent equipment having a flow line, an elevator, etc. The first apparatus 100 may perform any one of the processes of manufacturing a workpiece, product, etc., for example, machining, welding, component assembly, coating, inspection, etc.; auxiliary processes in the production process of the workpiece and the product, such as shutdown treatment, manual intervention, waste treatment and the like, can also be executed. Correspondingly, the second facility 200 may be a facility that can be freely transported in a plant. In addition, the first apparatus 100 and the second apparatus 200 may be apparatuses capable of being handled as long as they can be docked when the materials 201 need to be transferred to each other.

It is contemplated that the rack 210 may be any type of rack 210 as long as it can carry the material 201 and be handled by the handling device 300, and from a material point of view, for example: a rack made of profile welding, a rack made of profile, or a combined rack made of profile welding and profile, and the like; from the structural point of view, for example, there may be mentioned: a frame having feet for supporting, a frame having casters, or a frame having feet and casters, etc.; from the viewpoint of storage space, for example, there may be mentioned: a rack on which the material 201 can be placed in a single layer, a rack on which the material 201 can be placed in a plurality of layers in the left-right direction and a plurality of layers in the up-down direction, and the like.

It is conceivable that the form of the carrying device 300 is not particularly limited as long as it can carry the second device 200, and examples thereof include: AGV vehicles are various robots, for example, transfer robots such as three-axis robots and six-axis robots, which are installed on a traveling track, and various conveyor lines such as roller lines and plate chain conveyor lines, which have independent power. In the case of manual operation, the operator may be understood as a special conveyance device.

It is understood that "according to the docking of the second device 200 and the first device 100", the docking covers the whole process from the imminent docking to the completion of the docking of the second device 200 and the first device 100, which includes: a trend of starting docking, in docking, at the completion of docking, and in a stable docking state after the completion of docking.

It is conceivable that the conveying portion 130 is driven to convey the material 201, and various conveying cases are included, for example, both a case where the material 201 is conveyed from the second apparatus 200 to the first apparatus 100 and a case where the material 201 is conveyed from the first apparatus 100 to the second apparatus 200 and the like.

[ first Material transfer portion 110 and second Material transfer portion 220]

With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, to enable smooth, continuous transfer of material 201, the first material transfer portion 110 includes a first stream line 111. The first logistics line 111 may be various well-known logistics lines having a powered driving system, such as, but not limited to, a belt line, a timing belt line, a roller line, a conveyor chain line, a flat plate chain line, a double speed chain line, and the like.

Referring to fig. 3, the second material transfer part 220 comprises a second material flow line 221 capable of being butted with the first material flow line 111, a first transmission shaft 222 is arranged at one end of the second material flow line 221, and the second joint part 230 is connected with the first transmission shaft 222. Specifically, the first transmission shaft 222 may be either a support shaft directly supporting and transmitting, for example, a pulley, a timing pulley, a drum, a sprocket, or the like, or a transmission shaft connected to these support shafts through, for example, a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, a coupling, or the like. Thereby, the transfer of the material 201 between the first apparatus 100 and the second apparatus 200 is facilitated and the space occupied thereby is smaller. The second stream line 221 may be various known stream lines without an independent drive system, such as a belt line, a timing belt line, a roller line, a conveyor chain line, a flat plate chain line, and a double speed chain line, but is not limited thereto.

[ Power docking device 120]

Referring to fig. 3-6, with additional reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the powered docking device 120 is disposed behind the first material transfer portion 110, and the first engagement portion 130 of the powered docking device 120 is coupled with the output 141 of the rotary drive portion 140. The material 201 may be carried on the second flow line 221 and after the second apparatus 200 is docked with the first apparatus 100, the second flow line 221 is connected to the powered docking device 120 via the second interface 230 so as to be driven by the powered docking device 120 to transfer the material 201 to the first apparatus 100 while carrying it. Thus, the second material transfer unit 220 can directly transfer the material 201 to the first facility 100 even after being driven while the material 201 is placed thereon. Therefore, the second stream line 221 of the second device 200 which is docked with the first device 100 can be realized without additionally arranging a driving system, and the cost can be greatly reduced when one first device 100 is docked with a plurality of second devices 200. It should be noted that a plurality of powered docking devices 120 may be disposed on the first apparatus 100, and similarly, a plurality of sets of second stream lines 221 may be disposed on the second apparatus 200.

In some embodiments, the powered docking device 120 further comprises a docking drive 150, and the first and

second joints

130 and 230 are driven to connect, and thereby drive the second flowline 221 by the docking drive 150 after the first and

second apparatuses

100 and 200 are docked.

The docking driving part 150 is configured to drive the first engaging part 130 to switch between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH; when the first engaging portion 130 is driven to the engaging position TH, it can engage with the second flow line 221, so that the rotating driving portion 140 drives the second flow line 221 to operate; the first engagement portion 130 is disengaged from the second stream line 221 when driven to the disengaged position RD. In the present embodiment, since the docking driving portion 150 is provided, the first engaging portion 130 can be driven to switch between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH, and therefore, the accuracy of engagement of the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 230 can be improved.

It is conceivable that the separated position RD means a position where the first engaging part 130 and the second engaging part 230 are separated, and in this position, the second device 200 can be transferred. The engagement position TH refers to a position where the first engagement portion 130 and the second engagement portion 230 are engaged, in which the rotational driving portion 140 of the power docking device 120 can drive the second stream line 221 to operate. The manner of switching between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH is not limited, and may be, for example, switching by sliding in the front-rear, left-right, or up-down direction, or switching by rotating in the front-rear, left-right, or up-down direction.

It is contemplated that the first and

second engagement portions

130, 230 may be engaged in any engageable manner, for example, the first engagement portion 130 may include a first detent 133 such as a socket head socket, a pawl, etc., the second engagement portion 230 may include a second detent 134 (e.g., a socket head shaft that mates with a socket, other pawl that mates with a pawl), and the first and

second engagement portions

130, 230 are engaged by a snap fit and rotate in unison.

It is conceivable that the rotary drive part 140 may be driven to rotate by a motor, for example, the rotary drive part 140 includes a motor and a speed reducer, in which case the output 141 of the rotary drive part 140 refers to an output shaft of the speed reducer. The rotation driving part 140 may include only a motor, and in this case, the output 141 of the rotation driving part 140 refers to an output shaft of the motor. The rotation driving unit 140 may be driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor or a combination of a cylinder or a cylinder and a link.

In some embodiments, to simplify the structure of the powered docking device 120, the docking driving part 150 is configured to drive the first engaging part 130 to be slidably switched between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH in a direction perpendicular to a rotation plane of the first engaging part 130. Specifically, for example, the first engaging portion 130 rotates around its rotation axis, and correspondingly, the first engaging portion 130 can be switched in a sliding manner along the direction in which its rotation axis extends. For example, the first engagement portion 130 rotates in a plane composed of the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, and the first engagement portion 130 is slidably switched in the left-right direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, respectively.

In some embodiments, to facilitate the engagement of the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 230, the docking driving portion 150 includes a docking elastic member 151 and a restoring driving portion 152, the docking elastic member 151 is configured to drive the first engaging portion 130 to switch from the disengaged position RD to the engaged position TH (from right to left in fig. 5 and from left to right in fig. 6), and the restoring driving portion 152 is configured to drive the first engaging portion 130 to switch from the engaged position TH to the disengaged position RD (from left to right in fig. 5 and from right to left in fig. 6). Specifically, the abutting elastic member 151 may be a mechanical member such as a spring, a hydraulic buffer, an elastic pin, or the like, is provided in connection with the first engaging portion 130, and constantly biases the first engaging portion 130 in a direction to switch from the disengaging position RD to the engaging position TH. When the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 230 respectively select the engaging piece, since the rotational position of the second engaging portion 230 mounted on the second stream line 221 is not determined, when the docking driving portion 150 drives the first engaging portion 130 to switch from the disengaged position RD, there is a possibility that it cannot be directly switched to the engaged position TH and gets caught with the second engaging portion 230. In the present embodiment, by providing the butting elastic member 151, even in the case where the first engaging part 130 and the second engaging part 230 are stuck, since the butting elastic member 151 always urges the first engaging part 130 toward the second engaging part 230, at this time, when the rotation driving part 140 drives the first engaging part 130 to rotate, the first engaging part 130 rotates with respect to the second engaging part 230, and when the first engaging part 130 rotates to a position to be fitted with the second engaging part 230, the butting elastic member 151 continues to push the first engaging part 130, whereby the first engaging part 130 and the second engaging part 230 can be fitted.

Further, it is conceivable that the reset driving part 152 may include a reset cylinder 153 and a reset restricting member 154 connected to an expansion link of the reset cylinder 153, the output force of the reset cylinder 153 being greater than the elastic force of the abutting elastic member 151, the reset restricting member 154 being located forward in the extending direction of the first engagement part 130 and being urged in a reset direction for switching the first engagement part 130 from the engagement position TH to the release position RD by the driving of the reset cylinder 153. Thus, when the reset cylinder 153 is driven toward the reset direction (retraction), the reset restricting member 154 pushes the first engaging portion 130 to compress the abutting elastic member 151, causing the first engaging portion 130 to switch from the engaging position TH to the disengaging position RD. When the reset cylinder 153 is oriented in the direction opposite to the reset direction (extended), the butting elastic member 151 pushes the first engaging portion 130 to switch from the disengaged position RD to the engaged position TH. Although the description has been given taking an air cylinder as an example of the driving source of the return driving unit 152, the present invention is not limited to this, and the return driving unit 152 may be a motor.

In some embodiments, to prevent the first engagement portion 130 from rubbing against the reset driver 152 when the first engagement portion 130 is driven to rotate by the rotary driver 140, the reset driver 152 has a driving stroke in a direction from the disengagement position RD to the engagement position TH that is greater than a distance from the disengagement position RD to the engagement position TH, so that the reset driver 152 and the first engagement portion 130 are disengaged after the first engagement portion 130 is switched from the disengagement position RD to the engagement position TH. For example, the telescopic stroke of the piston rod of the reset cylinder 153 of the reset driving part 152 is larger than the distance by which the first engagement part 130 is switched from the disengagement position RD to the engagement position TH. That is, after the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 230 are engaged, the reset cylinder 153 may still continue to be driven for a certain stroke to be separated from the first engaging portion 130, and thus, it is possible to avoid the first engaging portion 130 from being worn or generating noise due to the collision of the reset limiting member 154 with the first engaging portion 130 when the first engaging portion 130 is driven to rotate.

In some embodiments, a first mounting portion 160 is further included, the first mounting portion 160 is coupled to the output 141 of the rotational driving portion 140 and is driven to rotate by the rotational driving portion 140, and the first engaging portion 130 is mounted to the first mounting portion 160 and rotates coaxially with the first mounting portion 160. Specifically, a motor will be described as an example of the power source of the rotation driving unit 140. For example, the first mounting portion 160 is coupled to an output shaft of a motor and is driven to rotate by the motor. The first mounting portion 160 may be supported by a pedestal bearing 162, and the first engagement portion 130 is mounted to the first mounting portion 160. Thereby, the first engagement portion 130 can be conveniently mounted.

In some embodiments, in order to prevent the first engagement portion 130 from rubbing against the butting elastic member 151 when the rotation driving portion 140 drives the first engagement portion 130 to rotate, the butting elastic member 151 is mounted to the first mounting portion 160 and drives the first engagement portion 130 to switch from the disengaged position RD to the engaged position TH at the first mounting portion 160. Accordingly, the abutting elastic member 151 and the first engagement portion 130 rotate together with the rotation of the first mounting portion 160, and the abutting elastic member 151 does not slide with respect to the first engagement portion 130, so that friction can be prevented from being generated.

In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 160 includes a first drive shaft 161, the first drive shaft 161 coupled to the output end 141 of the rotary drive portion 140, and the first engaging portion 130 mounted to the first drive shaft 161 and sliding along the first drive shaft 161. The first driving shaft 161 may be supported by a bearing with a seat 162, one end of the first driving shaft 161 is coupled with a motor of the rotation driving part 140, and the first engaging part 130 includes a first engaging member 133, and the first engaging member 133 is fitted over a distal end of the first driving shaft 161 and slides along the first driving shaft 161. In order to prevent the first engaging member 133 from sliding relative to the first driving shaft 161, the distal end of the first driving shaft 161 may be chamfered, and the first engaging member 133 may be provided with a chamfered circular hole adapted to the first driving shaft 161. In this embodiment, the abutting elastic member 151 may be a coil spring, and is sleeved on the first driving shaft 161, and one end of the coil spring abuts against the first driving shaft 161 and the other end abuts against the first engaging member 133.

It is also conceivable that the first mounting plate 163 is fitted over the first drive shaft 161, and the abutting elastic member 151 includes a plurality of members, each of which is provided around the first drive shaft 161, and has one end abutting against the first mounting plate 163 and the other end abutting against the first engaging member 133.

In some embodiments, to properly align the first mounting portion 160 and the rotary driving portion 140, the first mounting portion 160 is coupled to the output 141 of the rotary driving portion 140 through the first transmission portion 170. Specifically, for example, the first driving shaft 161 as the first mounting portion 160 may be coupled to an output shaft of a motor as the rotation driving portion 140 through a first transmission portion 170, and the first transmission portion 170 may be exemplified by, but not limited to, a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a coupling transmission mechanism, and the like. Thus, the first mounting part 160 and the rotary driving part 140 can be arranged reasonably according to the actual mounting space of the power docking device 120.

In the above embodiment, although the example in which the first engaging portion 130 is mounted to the first mounting portion 160 and the first mounting portion 160 is coupled to the output end 141 of the rotation driving portion 140 through the first transmission portion 170 has been described, it is not limited thereto. It is contemplated that in some embodiments, the first engagement portion 130 is slidably mounted to the output 141 of the rotational drive portion 140; the abutting elastic piece 151 is sleeved on the output end 141 of the rotation driving part 140 to drive the first joint part 130 to be switched from the separation position RD to the joint position TH in a sliding manner; the reset driving portion 152 is configured to drive the first engagement portion 130 to be slidingly switched from the engagement position TH to the disengagement position RD. For example, the first engaging member 133 may be directly fitted to the output shaft of the motor, guided by a guide key attached to the output shaft of the motor, and slidably switched on the output shaft of the motor. The abutting elastic member 151 may be a coil spring, one end of which abuts against the end of the motor and one end of which abuts against the first engaging member 133. The reset driving portion 152 is provided with reference to the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

In the above configuration of the power docking device 120, although the example in which the docking driving unit 150 is provided to drive the first engaging unit 130 to be slidably switched between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH in the direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the first engaging unit 130 has been described, the present invention is not limited thereto. The docking driving part 150 may drive the first engaging part 130 to switch between the disengaged position RD and the engaged position TH in other directions.

Fig. 7 is a schematic view of a powered docking device 120a, and referring to fig. 7, for example, in some embodiments, a first interface 130 of the powered docking device 120a includes a first gear 131 and a second interface 230 includes a second gear 132 that meshes with the first gear 131. The power docking device 120a may further include a second mounting portion 164 such as a second mounting plate, the rotary driving portion 140 is mounted to the second mounting portion 164, the rotary driving portion 140 includes a motor and a speed reducer, the first gear 131 is coupled to an output shaft of the speed reducer, and the docking driving portion 150 is connected to the second mounting portion 164 and drives the second mounting portion 164 to switch positions so as to engage or disengage the first gear 131 and the second gear 132.

[ fastening device 400]

Referring to fig. 8 to 10, in some embodiments, in order to improve the reliability of the transfer of the material 201, the docking system further includes a fastening device 400, the fastening device 400 being disposed at the first apparatus 100 (refer to the dashed-dotted box position of fig. 2); the fastening means 400 restrains the second appliance 200 according to the docking of the second appliance 200 and the first appliance 100; or the restriction on the second facility 200 is released so that the second facility 200 can be transferred to the first facility 100 by the transfer device 300. By providing the fastening device 400, stable docking between the first apparatus 100 and the second apparatus 200 can be achieved, and the first material transfer unit 110 and the second material transfer unit 220 can improve the reliability of transferring the material 201.

In some embodiments, the fastening device 400 includes a first stopper 410, a second stopper 420, a first restriction member 430, and a fastening driving portion 440. The second stopper 420 is located behind the first stopper 410 and is configured to be switchable between a first position ST and a second position ND, the first limiting member 430 may abut against the second stopper 420, and the fastening driving portion 440 is configured to slide the second stopper 420 relative to the first limiting member 430 to switch the second stopper 420 between the first position ST and the second position ND. When the second barrier 420 is in the second position ND, the second device 200 may straddle the second barrier 420 and abut the first barrier 410 to dock with the first device 100, or the second device 200 may be transferred across the second barrier 420 relative to the first device 100, after docking of the second device 200 with the first device 100, and when the second barrier 420 is in the first position ST, the second device 200 is restrained relative to the first device 100.

It is conceivable that, in the present embodiment, when the second device 200 needs to be docked and fixed with the first device 100, the fastening driving section 440 causes the second stopper 420 to be located at the second position ND, and after the second device 200 is located between the first stopper 410 and the second stopper 420 in the front-rear direction, causes the second stopper 420 to be located at the first position ST to relatively fix the first device 100 and the second device 200, thereby performing the transfer of the material 201. Since the second barrier 420 is switched between the first position ST and the second position ND, the second device 200 is also easily switched between the fastened state and the transferable state with respect to the first device 100.

It is contemplated that the second blocking member 420 is not limited to a specific position as long as it is located behind the first blocking member 410 in the front-rear direction, and for example, the second blocking member 420 may be located right behind the first blocking member 410 or diagonally behind the first blocking member 410 as long as they can fasten the second device 200 so that it can be caught with respect to the first device 100 to which the fastening device 400 is mounted.

It is conceivable that, in the present embodiment, the second device 200 approaches the first device 100 from the rear direction, provided that the first device 100 is taken as a reference. For example, the first stopper 410 serves as a positioning reference for positioning the second device 200 in the forward direction, and the second stopper 420 restricts the backward movement of the second device 200. Thereby, the second apparatus 200 is secured in the front-rear direction with respect to the first apparatus 100.

It is conceivable that, in the present embodiment, the first position ST refers to a position where the second stopper 420 can restrict the backward movement of the second device 200 in the backward direction. The second position ND refers to a position where the second stopper 420 allows the second device 200 to straddle, abut the first stopper 410 in the forward direction to approach the first device 100, or leave the first device 100 in the backward direction. However, it is not particularly limited as long as the second device 200 can be restricted or the restriction of the second device 200 can be released, and the directions of the first position ST and the second position ND are not limited, for example, the first position ST and the second position ND may be located in a vertical direction, and the first position ST is higher than the second position ND in the vertical direction. The first position ST and the second position ND may be horizontally located, and the first position ST is horizontally higher (protrudes) than the second position ND.

It is contemplated that the fastening device 400 may be installed at any position of the first apparatus 100 as long as it can restrain the second apparatus 200 or release the restraint of the second apparatus 200, for example, the first substrate 101 may be installed at a lower portion of the first apparatus 100 and the fastening device 400 may be installed on the first substrate 101.

In some embodiments, to facilitate switching of the second blocking member 420, the fastening device 400 further includes a third mounting plate 401, the second blocking member 420 being movably mounted to the third mounting plate 401 to switch between the first position ST and the second position ND. Since the second blocking member 420 is movably mounted to the third mounting plate 401, it is easy to change the position of the second blocking member 420, and in addition, it is convenient to couple the second blocking member 420 to other components such as the fastening driving part 440.

It is contemplated that the fastening driving part 440 may be connected to both the second blocking member 420 and the second blocking member 420, or connected to the first limiting member 430 and the first limiting member 430 to drive the first limiting member 430 so that the second blocking member 420 slides with respect to the first limiting member 430. Here, the fastening driving part 440 may drive the second stopper 420 in the front-rear direction, and it is conceivable that the fastening driving part 440 may drive the second stopper 420 in the left-right direction. Likewise, the fastening driving part 440 may drive the first restriction member 430 in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction.

It is conceivable that the fastening driving part 440 may use either an air cylinder or a motor. For example, when the fastening driving part 440 uses an air cylinder, a first linear guide 402 extending in the front-rear direction may be provided on the first substrate 101 of the first apparatus 100, the third mounting plate 401 may be mounted to the first linear guide 402 and connected to the air cylinder as the fastening driving part 440, and the air cylinder drives the third mounting plate 401 to slide in the front-rear direction, thereby sliding the second blocking member 420 in the front-rear direction. Thus, the second stopper 420 can not only restrict the movement of the second device 200 in the backward direction, but also push the second device 200 toward the first stopper 410, further securing the first device 100 and the second device 200.

Referring to fig. 11, 12, in some embodiments, to effect the second blocking member 420 to switch between the first position ST and the second position ND, the second blocking member 420 is rotatably mounted to the third mounting plate 401; the first restriction member 430 is provided with a first guide portion 431 and a sixth guide portion 535, the first guide portion 431 being parallel to the horizontal direction, the sixth guide portion 535 being lower than the first guide portion 431 in the vertical direction (up-down direction); the second stopper 420 slides along the first and

sixth guide parts

431 and 535, respectively, to switch between the first and second positions ST and ND. Specifically, the third mounting plate 401 is provided with the first rotating shaft 403, and correspondingly, the second stopper 420 is provided with a first hole portion 421, and the first rotating shaft 403 is inserted into the first hole portion 421, whereby the second stopper 420 is freely rotatable about the first rotating shaft 403. In order to make the rotation of the second stopper 420 smoother, a first bearing 422 may be fitted into the first hole 421, and the first rotation shaft 403 may be inserted into the first bearing 422. It is also conceivable that the first shaft is provided in the second stopper 420, and the first hole portion is provided in the third attachment plate 401 in correspondence with this.

The first guide portion 431 may be a guide plane disposed at the top in the up-down direction of the first restriction member 430, the bottom 423 in the up-down direction of the second blocking member 420 is attached to the top plane as the first guide portion 431, and the fastening driving portion 440 is connected to the third installation plate 401 and drives the second blocking member 420 to horizontally slide on the first guide portion 431 in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the second stopper 420 is restricted by the first guide part 431 and is at the first position ST. In the present embodiment, it can be realized that the fastening driving part 440 horizontally drives the second stopper 420 in the front direction after the second apparatus 200 crosses the second stopper 420 to push and fasten the second apparatus 200 to the first apparatus 100 in the front-rear direction.

In addition, the sixth guide 535 is disposed lower than the first guide 431 in the vertical direction. Specifically, when the second stopper 420 is located at the first position ST, the center of gravity of the second stopper 420 is located at the rear side of the first hole part 421, and the second stopper 420 is supported on the first guide part 431. When the second stopper 420 slides out of the first guide portion 431 in the rear direction, the second stopper 420 rotates about the first rotation shaft 403 by gravity, and the height of the top portion 424 in the up-down direction gradually decreases, whereby the second stopper 420 can be gradually switched from the first position ST (i.e., the position where the second device 200 can be restricted) to the second position ND (i.e., the position where the restriction on the second device 200 can be released).

The sixth guide 535 may be disposed in an inclined shape or may be disposed perpendicular to the first guide 431. In the present embodiment, the distance S1 from the center O of the first hole portion 421 of the second stopper 420 to the top 424 is greater than the distance S2 from the front 425. Thus, when the second stopper 420 is located at the first guide part 431, the second stopper 420 is in the first position ST. When the fastening driving part 440 drives the second stopper 420 in the rear direction to slide the second stopper 420 out of the first guide part 431 in the rear direction, the second stopper 420 rotates about the first rotation axis 403 under the influence of gravity until the top part 424 of the second stopper 420 is located in the rear direction and the front part 425 of the second stopper 420 is located in the upper direction, and at this time, the highest height of the second stopper 420 (i.e., the second stopper 420 is in the second position ND) is lower than the highest height of the second stopper 420 when it is located in the first guide part 431 (i.e., the first position ST) because the distance S1 from the center O of the first hole part 421 of the second stopper 420 to the top part 424 is greater than the distance S2 from the front part 425.

When the fastening driving part 440 drives the second stopper 420 in the forward direction, the bottom portion 423 of the second stopper 420 is stopped by the sixth guide portion 535, and the second stopper 420 gradually rotates about the first rotation shaft 403 until the bottom portion 423 of the second stopper 420 abuts the first guide portion 431, that is, when the second stopper 420 is switched from the second position ND to the first position ST. In order to make it easy for the second blocking member 420 to switch from the second position ND to the first position ST, a radius 426 is provided between the bottom 423 and the front side 425 of the second blocking member 420, the radius of the radius 426 being preferably greater than or equal to the distance S3 of the first hole portion 421 from the bottom of the second blocking member 420.

Fig. 13 is a schematic view of the fastening device 400a, and referring to fig. 13, in some embodiments, in order to switch the second stopper 420 between the first position ST and the second position ND, the first limiting member 430 may also be provided with a third guiding portion 433, the third guiding portion 433 gradually decreases in height from the first position ST toward the second position ND, and the second stopper 420 slides along the third guiding portion 433. Specifically, when the first position ST and the second position ND are set in the vertical direction, the third guide portion 433 gradually lowers in height from the first position ST toward the second position ND, that is, the altitude thereof gradually lowers toward the second position ND from the first position ST. When the first position ST and the second position ND are set in the horizontal direction, the third guide part 433 gradually decreases in height from the first position ST toward the second position ND, which means that the second stopper 420 gradually retracts in a direction away from the second device 200, that is, in a direction opposite to a direction in which the second device 200 can be caught.

In some embodiments, the second blocking member 420 is rotatably mounted to the third mounting plate 401, for example, also to the first rotating shaft 403 provided at the third mounting plate 401 through the first hole portion 421; the second stopper 420 is gradually rotationally switched between the first position ST and the second position ND while sliding along the third guide portion 433. It is conceivable that the third guide portion 433 may be a guide slope gradually inclined from top to bottom in the vertical direction. For example, when the second stopper 420 is switched from the first position ST to the second position ND, the tightening driving unit 440 drives the second stopper 420 to move in the backward direction, the second stopper 420 slides from the top to the bottom along the guide slope thereof by the action of gravity with respect to the third guide unit 433, and the height of the top 424 of the second stopper 420 gradually decreases while abutting against the guide slope, whereby the second stopper 420 can be gradually switched from the first position ST (i.e., a position where the restriction of the second device 200 can be restricted) to the second position ND (i.e., a position where the restriction of the second device 200 can be released). In addition, the fastening driving part 440 may be connected to the first restriction member 430 to drive the first restriction member 430 such that the second stopper 420 slides with respect to the guide slope of the third guide part 433.

Here, it is preferable that the guide slope of the third guide portion 433 is gradually inclined from top to bottom in the vertical direction, so that the gravity of the second stopper 420 can be sufficiently utilized to be in a state of being constantly attached to the guide slope as the guide slope changes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the first position ST and the second position ND are set in the horizontal direction, the third guide portion may be provided with a guide groove (not shown) and the second stopper 420 may be fitted into the guide groove at least partially, so that the second stopper is always in contact with the guide groove as the guide groove changes.

Fig. 14 is a perspective view of the fastening device 400b, and referring to fig. 14, in some embodiments, the second blocking member 420 is slidably mounted to the third mounting plate 401 in a direction from the first position ST to the second position ND; the second stopper 420 is gradually slidingly switched between the first position ST and the second position ND while sliding along the third guide portion 433. Specifically, the second blocking member 420 may be mounted to the third mounting plate 401 by a linear guide 404, such as a linear slide, a guide groove, or the like. In addition, the third guide portion 433 is also a guide slope, which is gradually inclined from top to bottom in the vertical direction. For example, when the second stopper 420 is switched from the first position ST to the second position ND, the tightening driving unit 440 drives the second stopper 420 to move in the backward direction, and the second stopper 420 slides from the top to the bottom along the guide slope thereof by gravity with respect to the third guide unit 433, and the height of the top 424 of the second stopper 420 is gradually lowered by the guide of the linear guide 404 while abutting against the guide slope, whereby the second stopper 420 can be gradually switched from the first position ST (i.e., the position where the restriction of the second device 200 can be restricted) to the second position ND (i.e., the position where the restriction of the second device 200 can be released). Likewise, in the present embodiment, the fastening driving part 440 may be connected to the first restriction member 430 to drive the first restriction member 430 such that the second stopper 420 slides with respect to the guide slope of the third guide part 433.

With continued reference to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the transfer of the second device 200 to the first device 100, the first device 100 is further provided with a fourth guide portion 405, the fourth guide portion 405 is disposed behind the first blocking member 410, and the fourth guide portion 405 gradually protrudes vertically upward in a direction approaching the first blocking member 410. Specifically, a first support 406 may be provided at the rear of the first blocking member 410, the first support 406 is mounted on the first base plate 101, and the fourth guide 405 may be a guide slope provided at the top of the first support 406, and when the second device 200 is driven (for example, the second blocking member 420 is driven toward the front by the fastening driving portion 440 to pull the second device 200) to be transferred toward the first device 100, the second device 200 slides on the fourth guide 405 of the first support 406 and is gradually raised to facilitate the transfer to the first device 100, to prevent the collision with the first device 100, and the like.

In some embodiments, in order to further facilitate the transfer of the second device 200 to the first device 100, a lifting elastic member 407 is disposed behind the first blocking member 410, and the lifting elastic member 407 is connected to the fastening driving portion 440 and applies a force in a vertically upward direction. Specifically, the lifting elastic member 407 may be selected from, for example, a coil spring, and the like, and when the second device 200 is docked with the first device 100, the second device 200 descends and presses the lifting elastic member 407, and in contrast, the lifting elastic member 407 urges the second device 200 upward, so that when the second device 200 is transferred toward the first device 100, since the lifting elastic member 407 urges the second device 200 upward from below, the second device 200 can be easily lifted at the fourth guide portion 405 of the first support member 406.

Further, although various embodiments of the fastening device 400 have been described above, the fastening device 400 is not limited thereto, and the fastening device 400 may directly clamp the second equipment 200 by, for example, an air cylinder such as a rotary clamping cylinder, or the fastening device 400 may directly fix the second equipment 200 by driving a latch by an air cylinder.

[ Barrier device 500]

Referring to fig. 15 and 16, since the second material transfer unit 220 does not have an independent driving system, when the second equipment 200 is transferred by the transfer device 300, the material 201 may move due to the rotation of the second material transfer unit 220. Further, due to inertia of conveyance or the like, the material 201 may slip off the second material transfer unit 220. In some embodiments, the second apparatus 200 is further provided with a blocking device 500, and the blocking device 500 is disposed in the direction in which the second material transfer part 220 is conveyed and may block the material 201, and is driven by the first apparatus 100 according to the docking of the first apparatus 100 and the second apparatus 200 to release the blocking of the material 201.

Referring to fig. 17, 18 and with additional reference to fig. 15 and 16, in some embodiments, a barrier 500 includes: a third blocking member 510, a blocking driving member 530, a first connecting member 540, and a blocking elastic member 520. Wherein the third blocking member 510 is swingably mounted to the rack 210, the third blocking member 510 is drivable by the first apparatus 100, for example, by the protrusion 102 of the first apparatus 100, to switch from a blocking position 501 (refer to fig. 19, 20) for blocking the material 201 to a release position 502 (refer to fig. 22) for releasing the blocking of the material 201. The blocking driver 530 is swingably mounted to the frame 210. The first connecting member 540 is connected to the third blocking member 510 and the blocking driving member 530, respectively, and at least one of a first connecting position 503 (refer to fig. 20) where the first connecting member 540 is connected to the third blocking member 510 and a second connecting position 504 (refer to fig. 21) where the first connecting member 540 is connected to the blocking driving member 530 may be changed. When the second device 200 is docked with the first device 100, the blocking driving member 530 is driven to swing by the first device 100, and is switched from the blocking position 501 to the releasing position 502 by pulling the first connecting member 540 so that the third blocking member 510 is driven to swing. The blocking elastic member 520 is configured to drive the third blocking member 510 such that the third blocking member 510 is in the blocking position 501.

Since the first connecting member 540 is respectively connected to the third blocking member 510 and the blocking driving member 530, when the blocking driving member 530 is driven, the first connecting member 540 drives the third blocking member 510 to switch between the blocking position 501 and the releasing position 502 in a linkage manner, and further, since the blocking elastic member 520 is provided to drive the blocking driving member 530 so that the third blocking member 510 is in the blocking position 501, even if the second apparatus 200 has no driving system, the material 201 loaded on the second apparatus 200 can be blocked.

Referring to fig. 19, 20, it is contemplated that blocking position 501 refers to a position where third blocking member 510 restricts passage of, for example, material 201 blocked by it; referring to fig. 22, the release position 502 refers to a position where the third blocking member 510 allows passage of, for example, material 201 blocked by it.

In some embodiments, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the barrier device 500, the barrier device 500 may further include a mounting base 560, and the mounting base 560 may be a single component integrally formed or a component assembled from multiple sub-parts. The blocking device 500 may mount the third blocking member 510, the blocking driving member 530, the first connecting member 540, the blocking elastic member 520, and the like to the frame 210 through the mounting base 560. Specifically, the third blocking member 510 is swingably mounted to the mounting base 560, and a first end 511 of the third blocking member 510 extends out of the mounting base 560 and is switchable between a blocking position 501 (refer to fig. 19 and 20) and a releasing position 502 (refer to fig. 22) with the swinging of the third blocking member 510; the blocking drive 530 is swingably mounted to the mounting base 560 with the second end 531 of the blocking drive 530 extending out of the mounting base 560.

It is conceivable that, in the above description, although the description is given with the first end 511 of the third blocking member 510 extending out of the mounting base 560, a person skilled in the art should understand broadly that: the extension of the first end portion 511 out of the mounting base 560 is not limited to the first end portion 511 extending out of the mounting base 560, but means that the first end portion 511 extends to a position where the mounting base 560 does not interfere with the material 201, for example, when the mounting base 560 has a U-shaped groove and the material 201 passes through the U-shaped groove of the mounting base 560, the first end portion 511 extends into the U-shaped groove, that is, the first end portion 511 extends out of the mounting base 560.

Also, while the second end 531 of the blocking actuator 530 is illustrated as extending out of the mounting base 560, those skilled in the art should understand broadly that: the extension of the second end 531 out of the mounting base 560 is not limited to the second end 531 necessarily extending entirely out of the mounting base 560, but rather means that the second end 531 extends out of the mounting base 560 as long as the second end 531 does not interfere with, for example, a docking device, e.g., when the mounting base 560 has a U-shaped channel and the docking device partially extends into the U-shaped channel of the mounting base 560, meaning that the second end 531 extends out of the mounting base 560.

Referring to fig. 18, 20, and 22, in some embodiments, the first connection member 540 and the third blocking member 510 are slidably connected such that the first connection position 503 can be changed. Specifically, for example, the mounting base 560 is provided with a fourth mounting plate 561 on which a first rotating member 562 such as a rotating pin is mounted, the first rotating member 562 extending in the front-rear direction, and correspondingly, the first intermediate portion 512 of the third blocking member 510 is provided with a first rotating hole 513, and the first rotating hole 513 is fitted with the first rotating member 562 and rotates around the first rotating member 562. The first end portion 511 is provided at an upper portion of the third stopper 510, is connected to an upper end of the first intermediate portion 512, and extends outward at an acute angle R1, for example, at an angle of approximately 60 ° with respect to the upper end of the first intermediate portion 512. The third stopper 510 is provided at a lower portion thereof with a third end portion 514, and the third end portion 514 is connected to a lower end of the first intermediate portion 512 and extends outward at an acute angle R2, for example, at an angle of approximately 60 ° with respect to the lower end of the first intermediate portion 512. Since the upper portion of the first link 540 is slidably connected to the third end portion 514, the third blocking member 510 can be rotated about the first rotation member 562 while the third end portion 514 of the third blocking member 510 slides relative to the first link 540 in conjunction with the driving of the first link 540 by the blocking driving unit 530, so that the first end portion 511 of the third blocking member 510 can be swung in the vertical direction. When first end 511 is swung down, first end 511 is in blocking position 501, which can restrain, for example, material 201 to prevent it from falling. When the first end 511 is swung upwards, the first end 511 is in the release position 502, allowing for example a transfer of the material 201. By providing the first connection member 540 and the third stopper 510 to be slidably connected so that the first connection position 503 is changed, the first connection member 540 and the third stopper 510 can be prevented from being stuck, and the third stopper 510 can be smoothly swung.

In some embodiments, one of the first connector 540 and the third blocker 510 is provided with a fifth guide part 515, and the other is provided with a first slider 541, and the first slider 541 and the fifth guide part 515 are adapted and slide along the fifth guide part 515. This allows the first connector 540 and the third dam 510 to be smoothly and slidably connected to each other. For example, a groove portion may be provided as the fifth guide portion 515 at the third end 514 of the third stopper 510, a slide pin may be provided as the first slider 541 at the first link 540, and the first slider 541 may be inserted into the fifth guide portion 515 in the front-rear direction and slid along the fifth guide portion 515. Thus, when the first link 540 is driven, for example, in the up-down direction, the first slider 541 simultaneously pulls the third blocking member 510 in the up-down direction, thereby swinging the third blocking member 510.

Although the fifth guide portion 515 is provided to the third stopper 510 and the first slider 541 is provided to the first link 540, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fifth guide portion 515 may be provided to the first link 540 and the first slider 541 may be provided to the third stopper 510.

Referring to fig. 21, 23, in some embodiments, the first connector 540 and the blocking drive 530 are slidably connected such that the second connection position 504 can be changed. Specifically, for example, the mounting base 560 is provided with a fifth mounting plate 563 which is substantially perpendicular to the fourth mounting plate 561, and the fifth mounting plate 563 is mounted with a second rotating member 564 such as a rotating pin, the second rotating member 564 extending in the left-right direction, i.e., the second rotating member 564 is substantially perpendicular to the first rotating member 562, and correspondingly, the second intermediate portion 532 of the blocking driver 530 is provided with a second rotating hole 533, and the second rotating hole 533 and the second rotating member 564 are fitted to rotate about the second rotating member 564. The second end portion 531 is disposed at a lower portion of the blocking drive 530, is connected to a lower end of the second intermediate portion 532, and extends outwardly at a generally acute angle R3, such as 60 °, relative to the lower end of the second intermediate portion 532. The upper portion of the blocking drive 530 is provided with a fourth end portion 534, the fourth end portion 534 being connected to the upper end of the second intermediate portion 532 and extending outwardly at a generally acute angle R4, for example, at a 60 ° angle, relative to the upper end of the second intermediate portion 532. The lower portion and the fourth end portion 534 of the first connecting member 540 are slidably coupled, thereby enabling the first connecting member 540 to be pulled as the blocking driving member 530 swings.

In some embodiments, one of the first connector 540 and the blocking driving member 530 is provided with a sixth guide 535, and the other is provided with a second slider 542, and the second slider 542 and the sixth guide 535 are fitted and slid along the sixth guide 535. Thereby, the first connector 540 and the blocking driving piece 530 can be smoothly and slidably coupled to each other. For example, a groove portion may be provided as the sixth guide portion 535 at the fourth end portion 534 of the driving blocking member 530, a slide pin may be provided as the second slider 542 at the first link 540, and the second slider 542 may be inserted into the sixth guide portion 535 in the left-right direction (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in fig. 21 and 23) and slid along the sixth guide portion 535. Thus, when the blocking driving member 530 is driven in the front-rear direction, the blocking driving member 530 rotates about the second rotating member 564, and the fourth end 534 swings and pulls the first connecting member 540, thereby swinging the third blocking member 510.

It is conceivable that although the sixth guide 535 is provided to the blocking driving member 530 and the second slider 542 is provided to the first connector 540, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sixth guide 535 may be provided to the first connector 540 and the second slider 542 may be provided to the blocking driving member 530.

It is conceivable that the above though in terms of: the example that the first connecting element 540 is slidably connected to the third blocking element 510 and the blocking driving element 530 respectively to change the first connecting position 503 where the first connecting element 540 is connected to the third blocking element 510 and the second connecting position 504 where the first connecting element 540 is connected to the blocking driving element 530 respectively, so as to achieve the mutual linkage of the blocking driving element 530, the third blocking element 510 and the first connecting element 540 is described, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first connecting member 540 may be slidably connected to only the third blocking member 510 (i.e., the first connecting position 503 may be changed), and the first connecting member 540 is hinged to the blocking driving member 530 through a link member (not shown), so that the blocking driving member 530, the third blocking member 510 and the first connecting member 540 are coupled to each other. Alternatively, the first connecting member 540 may be only slidably connected to the blocking driving member 530 (i.e., the second connection position 504 may be changed), and the first connecting member 540 is hinged to the third blocking member 510 through a link member (not shown), so that the blocking driving member 530, the third blocking member 510 and the first connecting member 540 are linked to each other. In addition, the first connecting member 540 may be directly used as a connecting rod member, one end of which is slidably connected to one of the third blocking member 510 and the blocking driving member 530, and the other end of which is hinged to the other of the third blocking member 510 and the blocking driving member 530.

With continued reference to fig. 18, in some embodiments, the first connector 540 is slidably mounted to the mounting base 560, one of the first connector 540 and the mounting base 560 is provided with a seventh guide 565, and the other is provided with a third slider 543, the third slider 543 and the seventh guide 565 fitting and sliding along the seventh guide 565. Specifically, for example, a groove portion extending in the up-down direction is provided as a seventh guide portion 565 on the inner side of the fifth mounting plate 563, the first link 540 has a plate shape, an edge of the first link 540 serves as a third slider 543 and is inserted into the seventh guide portion 565, and when the blocking driving member 530 is driven, the first link 540 is pulled to slide up and down in the seventh guide portion 565, thereby driving the third blocking member 510 to swing.

With continuing reference to fig. 20 to 23 and with additional reference to fig. 15 and 16, the blocking device 500 is thereby enabled to swing the third blocking member 510 in a plane composed of the up-down direction and the left-right direction when the blocking driving member 530 is driven in the front-rear direction. Such a blocking device 500 is suitably applied to a second apparatus 200 having no driving power, for example, in which the second apparatus 200 is conveyed in the front-rear direction by the conveying device 300, and on the first apparatus 100, a projection block 102 or the like is provided, and when the second apparatus 200 is butted to the first apparatus 100, the projection block 102 abuts against the second end 531 of the blocking drive 530 from the front direction, and the fourth end 534 of the driving blocking drive 530 swings clockwise in the front direction around the second rotation member 564, and at the same time, the first link 540 is pulled to slide downward, and the first end 511 of the third blocking member 510 is pulled to swing upward, thereby switching the third blocking member 510 from the blocking position 501 to the release position 502.

In some embodiments, the blocking elastic member 520 is an inward contracting type blocking elastic member 520, such as a tension spring, an elastic belt, etc., and has one end connected to the mounting base 560 and the other end connected to the blocking driving member 530. Specifically, taking a tension spring as an example, one end of the tension spring is connected to the mounting base 560, for example, to the fifth mounting plate 563 of the mounting base 560, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the blocking driving member 530. More specifically, a tension spring is located at the rear side of the blocking driving member 530, one end of the tension spring is connected to the fifth mounting plate 563 at the upper rear side with respect to the blocking driving member 530, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the upper side of the second rotation hole 533 of the blocking driving member 530, for example, to the fourth end 534 of the blocking driving member 530. Thereby, the blocking driver 530 can be reliably pulled in the rear direction, and thus the first end 511 of the third blocking member 510 can be reliably placed in the blocking position 501.

Although the inwardly contracting type elastic stopper 520 such as a tension spring has been described as the restoring member, the restoring member is not limited thereto, and the restoring member may be an outwardly expanding type elastic stopper 520 such as a compression spring, a nitrogen spring, and a hydraulic shock absorber.

Further, although it is described above that one end of the blocking elastic member 520 is connected to the mounting base 560 and the other end is connected to the blocking driving member 530, it is not limited thereto, and the blocking elastic member 520 may be connected to the mounting base 560 and the other end is connected to one of the first connecting member 540 or the third blocking member 510.

Referring to fig. 19, it is contemplated that, in the above embodiments, for example, the third blocking member 510 may include two pieces, which are respectively disposed at the left and right sides of the mounting base 560, and the blocking elastic member 520 may also include two pieces, which are respectively disposed at the left and right sides of the mounting base 560, and correspondingly, the fifth mounting plate 563 may also include two pieces at the left and right sides, and the two blocking elastic members 520 may be respectively mounted at one end to one of the fifth mounting plates 563 and at the other end to respectively pull the blocking driving member 530. This improves the left-right coordination and balance of the baffle device 500.

Further, in the above embodiment of the blocking device 500, although the blocking device 500 has: the third blocking member 510, the blocking driving member 530, the first connecting member 540 and the blocking elastic member 520 are exemplified and described, but the blocking device 500 may include only: a third blocking member 510 and a blocking elastic member 520, wherein the third blocking member 510 is swingably mounted to the frame 210, the third blocking member 510 is driven by the first apparatus 100 to switch from a blocking position 501 for blocking the material 201 to a release position 502 for releasing the blocking of the material 201; the blocking elastic member 520 is configured to drive the third blocking member 510 to be in the blocking position 501. It is conceivable that the first device 100 may have the third stopper 510 directly driven to swing, for example, when the second device 200 and the first device 100 are docked, the third stopper 510 collides with the first device 100 and swings thereby. The first apparatus 100 may also swing the third stopper 510 by, for example, an air cylinder, and for example, when the second apparatus 200 and the first apparatus 100 are docked, the third stopper 510 is pushed to swing by the air cylinder provided in the first apparatus 100.

[ scram device 600]

Referring to fig. 24 and 15, in some embodiments, in order to control the operation or stop of the second apparatus 200 being carried, the second apparatus 200 further includes an emergency stop device 600, and the emergency stop device 600 is disposed on the frame 210 and can be switched to be sensed by the sensor 310 of the carrying device 300 or be disconnected with respect to the sensor 310 to operate or stop the carrying device 300. By providing the emergency stop device 600, the second equipment 200 can be operated or stopped by easily operating or stopping the conveying device 300 in operation.

Referring to fig. 24 to 27, specifically, the scram apparatus 600 includes: scram 610 and sensing part 620, and scram 610 and sensing part 620 are mounted to frame 210. to facilitate mounting of scram device 600, scram 610 may be mounted to frame 210 by scram mount 630. The scram mount 630 is provided on the frame 210, the scram 610 is mounted to the scram mount 630 and can be driven to switch between the operation position 601 and the stop position 602, and the sensing part 620 is connected to the scram 610 and sensed by the sensor 310 provided at the carrying device 300 for carrying the second equipment 200 or disconnected with respect to the sensor 310 as the scram 610 is switched between the operation position 601 and the stop position 602 to operate or disconnect the carrying device 300.

In the scram device 600 of the present embodiment, since the sensing portion 620 is provided which can be sensed by the sensor 310 of the conveyance device 300 which conveys the second equipment 200 or is disconnected from the sensor 310 in accordance with the switching of the scram 610, the second equipment 200 provided with such a scram device 600 can easily control the operation or stop of the conveyance device 300 without a control system.

It is contemplated that the scram mount 630 may be mounted to the frame 210 in any manner, such as by screwing, welding, snapping, etc., or may be machined directly into the frame 210, as long as the scram 610 is mounted thereto.

It is contemplated that the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602 of the hard stop 610 may be any position as long as the position of the sensing portion 620 can be changed. For example, a position where the scram 610 enables the sensing portion 620 to be sensed by the sensor 310 of the carrying device 300 may be used as the operating position 601, and a position where the scram 610 enables the sensing portion 620 to be disconnected with respect to the sensor 310 of the carrying device 300 may be used as the stopping position 602. It should be noted that the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602 may be interchanged, for example, a position at which the sensing portion 620 can be sensed by the sensor 310 of the conveying device 300 is used as the stopping position 602, and a position at which the sensing portion 620 is disconnected from the sensor 310 of the conveying device 300 by the scram 610 is used as the operating position 601. In this way, only the control logic of the control system needs to be modified.

In some embodiments, to facilitate operator control of the crash stop 610, the crash stop 610 is mounted to an upper portion of the frame 210 by a crash stop mount 630, the sensing part 620 is mounted to a lower portion of the frame 210, and the crash stop 610 and the sensing part 620 are connected by a transition part 640. Specifically, the scram member 610 may be mounted to the upper portion of the frame 210 by the scram mount 630 in any location that is convenient for direct manual operation by an operator, such as to a side of, or to the top of, the upper portion of the frame 210. In response to this, since the sensing part 620 is used to match the stop (e.g., emergency stop) or operation (e.g., recovery operation or normal operation state) of the handling device 300, the sensing part 620 is disposed according to the position of the handling device 300 for handling the rack 210, and particularly, the sensing part 620 may be disposed at any place that can be conveniently sensed by the sensor 310 of the handling device 300, such as the sides or the bottom of the lower portion of the rack 210.

In some embodiments, in order to easily control the sensing part 620 through the hard stop 610, the transition part 640 includes a flexible member 641, one end 641a of the flexible member 641 is connected to the hard stop 610, and the other end 641b of the flexible member 641 is connected to the sensing part 620. Specifically, the flexible element 641 may be a flexible element such as a steel cable, a rubber rope, a belt, a timing belt, a chain, etc., and in order to guide the track of the flexible element 641, a plurality of idle wheels 642 adapted to the shape of the flexible element 641 may be disposed on the frame 210, for example, the idle wheels 642 may be smooth wheels capable of guiding the steel cable or the belt, or a timing pulley capable of guiding the timing belt, or a sprocket capable of guiding the chain, etc.

Thus, the transit portion 640 can configure the track of the flexible member 641 according to the specific structure of the frame 210, and prevent the interference between the transit portion 640 and the installation space of the frame 210, for example, when the frame 210 is a welded frame 210, the idler pulleys 642 can be installed on the frame 210 by welding, so that the flexible member 641 can be easily guided from the upper portion of the frame 210 to the lower portion of the frame 210, thereby connecting the crash stop 610 and the sensing portion 620.

Further, it is contemplated that the hard stop 610 and the sensing part 620 may be connected to the flexible part 641 in any manner as long as they are adapted to the flexible part 641, for example, the hard stop 610 and the sensing part 620 may be connected to the flexible part 641 through a connection part 643 and the flexible part 641, respectively, and the connection part 643 may be, for example, a collet for clamping a wire rope, a belt, or a timing belt, or a pin for connecting a chain, etc. In addition, the flexible member 641 may be directly connected to the emergency stop 610 and the sensing part 620 by various methods such as winding, screwing, riveting, welding, clamping, etc.

Although the flexible member 641 is described as the relay unit 640, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the relay unit 640 may be connected to the hard stop 610 and the sensing unit 620 by another connection method such as a link member (not shown).

Referring to fig. 25 and 26 in addition to fig. 24, the sensing unit 620 of fig. 25 and the sensing unit 620 of fig. 26 are substantially the same except for the different directions, and therefore, the description will be made herein in conjunction with each other. In some embodiments, in order to easily control the sensing part 620 and prevent the sensor 310 from sensing the sensing part 620 by mistake when the carrying device 300 carries the rack 210, the sensing part 620 includes a sensing member 621 and a shielding member 622, at least one of the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621 is connected to the scram member 610, and is driven as the scram member 610 is switched between the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602, so that the shielding member 622 shields the sensing member 621, or the sensing member 621 is exposed relative to the shielding member 622. Specifically, the sensing member 621 is fixed on the frame 210, and the shielding member 622 is connected to the other end 541b of the flexible member 641, and is pulled by the flexible member 641 and switches positions relative to the sensing member 621 as the scram member 610 switches between the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602, so that the sensing member 621 is exposed or shielded. The shielding member 622 is plate-shaped, the frame 210 is further provided with a sliding groove 623 at a lower portion of the sensing member 621, and at least an edge portion of the shielding member 622 is inserted into the sliding groove 623 and can slide in the sliding groove 623. The shield 622 is connected by a clamp as a connection part 643 and a wire rope as a flexible member 641, for example, and thereby connected to the hard stop 610 provided at the upper portion of the frame 210. When the scram 610 is switched between the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602, the wire rope as the flexible member 641 is pulled, thereby sliding the shielding member 622 in the sliding groove 623, for example, in the front-back direction in the drawing, so as to shield the sensing member 621 or expose the sensing member 621. When the sensing portion 620 is exposed, it can be sensed by the sensor 310 of the conveying device 300, so that the sensor 310 can input a signal (e.g., an ON control signal) for continuing the operation to the conveying device 300. When the sensing member 621 is shielded by the shielding member 622, the sensor 310 cannot sense the sensing member 621, and the sensor 310 can input an emergency stop signal (e.g., an OFF control signal) to the carrying device 300. Accordingly, the conveyance device 300 can determine the operation (continuous operation) or emergency stop according to whether the control signal is input from the sensor 310.

Therefore, the second equipment 200 of the present invention can easily control the conveying device 300 to stop or continue to operate by the mechanical scram device 600. Further, the sudden stop device 600 can be easily mounted to any position of the frame 210 through the relay 640, and thus the sudden stop device 600 can be mounted according to an operation position suitable for an operator.

It is conceivable that, although the example in which the scram 610 is connected to the shutter 622 through the flexible member 641 and drives the shutter 622 to slide in the slide groove 623 is described, the invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the scram 610 may be connected to the sensor 621 through the flexible member 641, the shutter 622 may be mounted to the lower portion of the frame 210, the slide groove 623 may be disposed to the upper portion of the shutter 622, and the scram 610 pulls the sensor 621 through the flexible member 641 so that the sensor 621 is exposed with respect to the shutter 622 or is shielded by the shutter 622.

In addition, in order to save the driving stroke of the crash stop 610, the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621 may be configured to be both slidable, and the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621 are connected by a transmission mechanism such as a rack and pinion and can be linked therewith. Alternatively, the crash stop 610 may be connected to both the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621, for example, the crash stop 610 is connected to two flexible members 641, and the two flexible members 641 are connected to the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621 respectively, and are guided by different idler pulleys 642 to slide in opposite directions.

In some embodiments, a resilient driving element 650 is further included, and the resilient driving element 650 is configured to drive the shielding element 622 or the sensing element 621 when the crash stop 610 switches from the operating position 601 to the stopping position 602, so that the shielding element 622 shields the sensing element 621 or the sensing element 621 is exposed from the shielding element 622. The following are: the position where the scram 610 allows the sensing portion 620 to be sensed by the sensor 310 of the conveying device 300 is described as the operating position 601, and the position where the scram 610 disconnects the sensing portion 620 from the sensor 310 of the conveying device 300 is described as the stopping position 602. In the present embodiment, the flexible member 641 and the shutter 622 are described as an example of connection. Specifically, in the present embodiment, one end of the elastic driving member 650 abuts against the frame 210, and one end abuts against the shielding member 622, for example, for convenience of the elastic driving member 650 abutting against the shielding member 622, a protruding sheet metal member 624 may be provided on the shielding member 622, and for mounting the elastic driving member 650, a mounting shaft 525 may be provided. When the crash stop 610 is in the operating position 601, the crash stop 610 drives the shielding member 622 by pulling the flexible member 641, and at the same time, the elastic driving member 650 is compressed, so that the sensing member 621 is exposed from the shielding member 622 and the sensing member 621 can be sensed by the sensor 310 of the carrying device 300. When the scram 610 is switched from the operating position 601 to the stopping position 602 (i.e. when the scram 610 is switched to the position in the direction of releasing the flexible member 641), the compression of the elastic driving member 650 is released, so that the elastic driving member 650 drives the shielding member 622 to slide in the sliding slot 623 (in the front direction in fig. 25) and shields the sensing member 621, and the sensing member 621 is disconnected relative to the sensing member 621 of the carrying device 300. By providing the elastic driving member 650, it is possible to reliably shield the sensing member 621 by the shielding member 622 or to expose the sensing member 621 from the shielding member 622, thereby improving the reliability of the operation or stop of the carrying device 300.

It is contemplated that the elastic driving member 650 may be an outwardly expanding type elastic member such as a coil spring, a nitrogen spring, a hydraulic buffer, or the like, or an inwardly contracting type elastic member such as a tension spring, an elastic belt, or the like. Those skilled in the art can appropriately change the mutual positions of the elastic driving member 650 and the flexible member 641 according to the actual installation space.

Although the above description has been given by taking the example in which the elastic driving member 650 drives the shielding member 622, the invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the elastic driving member 650 may drive the sensing member 621 so that the shielding member 622 shields the sensing member 621 or the sensing member 621 is exposed from the shielding member 622.

In addition, although the sensing part 620 is described as having the shielding part 622 and the sensing part 621, the invention is not limited thereto, and in some embodiments, for example, the sensing part 620 may only include the sensing part 621, the sensing part 621 is connected with the crash stop 610, and is sensed by the sensor 310 or is disconnected with respect to the sensor 310 as the crash stop 610 switches between the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the operator to control the stopping or starting of the handling device 300 from various directions, the crash stops 610 include a plurality of positions, the shielding member 622 includes a plurality of positions, and each crash stop 610 is connected to the shielding member 622 and drives the shielding member 622 respectively, so that the shielding member 622 shields the sensing member 621, or the sensing member 621 is exposed relative to the shielding member 622. Specifically, for example, one emergency stop mounting seat 630 may be respectively installed in the front-rear direction of the rack 210, and one emergency stop member 610 is respectively installed in each emergency stop mounting seat 630, and correspondingly, the sensing part 620 includes one sensing member 621 and two shielding members 622, and the emergency stop members 610 located in the front-rear direction of the rack 210 are respectively connected to the two shielding members 622, so that the shielding members 622 can be independently driven to shield the sensing member 621 by the shielding members 622, or the sensing member 621 is exposed relative to the shielding members 622. Thus, in the present embodiment, the operator can easily operate the crash stops 610 at various positions, and the safety of the conveying apparatus 300 can be improved. In addition, since the sensing member 621 is fixed relative to the frame 210, there is no need to adjust the position of the sensor 310 relative to the sensing member 621, and there is no need to increase the number of the sensors 310, which not only facilitates the control of the operation or stop of the carrying device 300, but also does not require additional cost.

With continuing reference to fig. 27-29 and with additional reference to fig. 24, the hard stops 610 are described in detail below.

As described above, the operating position 601 and the stopping position 602 may be any positions as long as the position of the sensing part 620 can be changed. It is contemplated that hard stop 610 may be switched from operating position 601 to stop position 602 by, for example, sliding, swinging, or pivoting. For example, scram 610 may be slidably mounted to scram mount 630 to slidably switch from run position 601 to stop position 602; or scram 610 may be mounted to scram mount 630, for example, by articulation, to swing from run position 601 to stop position 602; or the scram 610 can be arranged to rotate around its own axis relative to the scram mount 630 to swing from the running position 601 to the stopping position 602; alternatively, scram 610 and scram mount 630 may be integrally assembled in the form of a manual quick clamp.

In some embodiments, in order to stably maintain the scram 610 at the operating position 601 or the stopping position 602, the scram apparatus 600 may further include an elastic restriction member 660, the elastic restriction member 660 being configured to restrict the scram 610 when the scram 610 is located at the operating position 601 or the stopping position 602. Specifically, the elastic restriction member 660 may be selected from elastic restriction members 660 such as an elastic pin, a roller plunger, and a ball plunger. In addition, the elastic stoppers 660 may be installed on the scram mount 630 or the scram 610.

For example, to facilitate installation of the elastic stoppers 660, in some embodiments, the elastic stoppers 660 are installed to the scram installation seat 630, the scram 610 is provided with a first groove portion 611 and a second groove portion 612 at intervals in the switching direction, and the elastic stoppers 660 are inserted into the first groove portion 611 when the scram 610 is located at the operating position 601; when the hard stop 610 is in the stop position 602, the elastic restriction 660 is inserted into the second groove portion 612. Thus, the installation of the elastic stoppers 660 can be facilitated while stably holding the hard stops 610.

In some embodiments, to facilitate the switching of the scram 610, the scram mount 630 is provided with a guide 631, and the scram 610 is slidably mounted into the guide 631. Specifically, for example, the guide portion 631 may be provided with a guide hole 632, and in correspondence with this, the scram 610 may be provided in a substantially shaft shape, the first groove portion 611 and the second groove portion 612 may be provided at intervals in the axial direction of the scram 610, respectively, the scram 610 slides in the guide hole 632 of the scram mount 630, and the elastic restriction member 660 is mounted to the scram mount 630 and partially protrudes into the guide hole 632 in the radial direction of the guide hole 632 to be inserted into the first groove portion 611 or the second groove portion 612. Thereby, the scram 610 can be slidably switched between the run position 601 and the stop position 602.

Further, although the description has been given with an example in which the scram 610 is restricted by the elastic restriction member 660, it is not limited thereto, and for example, the scram 610 may be stabilized in the running position 601 or the stopping position 602 by means of a link (for example, when the scram 610 and the scram mount 630 are assembled in the form of a manual quick clamp).

Therefore, since the scram device 600 as described above is provided with the sensing part 620 which can be sensed by the sensor 310 of the conveyance device 300 which conveys the second equipment 200 or is disconnected from the sensor 310 in accordance with the switching of the scram 610, the second equipment 200 can easily control the operation or stop of the conveyance device 300 without a control system.

In addition, since the sudden stop 610 is connected to the sensing portion 620 through the transition portion 640, for example, the flexible member 641, the sudden stop 610 can be disposed at any position convenient for the operator to operate, and the safety of the transportation device 300 is improved.

Further, since the scram 610 can be disposed at a plurality of positions corresponding to the sensing members 621, it is not only easy to control the operation or stop of the conveying device 300, but also it is not necessary to increase the cost.

Further, since the elastic stopper 660 is further provided, the scram 610 can be stably held at the operation position 601 or the stop position 602, and the reliability of the operation or stop (continuation of the operation) of the conveyance device 300 can be improved.

As the sensing part 620 sensed by the sensor 310, for example, the sensing element 621 of the sensing part 620 may be a sensing element 621 in a sheet shape or a strip shape, and correspondingly, the sensor 310 may be a sensor such as a photoelectric sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a laser obstacle avoidance sensor, or a proximity switch, or a sensor having a camera such as a smart camera, a CCD, a code scanning gun, or a code scanning box. Further, the sensor 310 may be a travel switch or the like.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of sensing, the sensor 310 may select the sensor 310 having a camera, and the sensing part 620 is provided with an identification part (not shown) that can be identified by the camera. Specifically, for example, the sensor 310 may be a code scanning gun or a code scanning cassette mounted to an AGV car as the transport device 300, and correspondingly, the recognition portion of the sensing portion 620 may be a two-dimensional code disposed at a lower portion of the sensing piece 621, thereby improving the accuracy of sensing and improving the reliability of the scram device 600 in controlling the operation or stop of the transport device 300.

According to the utility model discloses production line system of second aspect embodiment, including the system of plugging into of any one of the aforesaid, the system of plugging into includes a plurality of second equipment 200.

According to the production line system of the embodiment, due to the docking system of the production line system, one set of power docking device of the first device 100 can correspond to a plurality of sets of second devices 200 without independent driving systems, so that the cost of the production line can be greatly reduced.

It is conceivable that the production line system may include an apparatus for performing other work in addition to the first apparatus 100 and the plurality of sets of second apparatuses 200.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
