Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

The application provides a move and carry machine, wherein, move and carry machine includes revolving stage subassembly 100 and material transport assembly 200, revolving stage subassembly 100 includes revolving stage 110 that can rotate, material transport assembly 200 install in revolving stage 110, material transport assembly 200 sets up to can optionally convey the material in at least two direction of transfer.

The transfer machine can change the conveying direction through the rotation of the rotating table 110, and meanwhile, the conveying direction can be selected through the material conveying assembly 200, so that the material direction can be changed or kept as required, and the actual conveying requirement can be met.

For example, the material transport assembly 200 may be configured to be capable of transporting material in a first transport direction that is the same as the incoming material direction or a second transport direction that is perpendicular to the incoming material direction. When the conveying direction is rotated by 90 degrees by the rotating table 110, if the material conveying assembly 200 conveys the material in the first conveying direction, only the conveying direction is changed, and the material direction is kept unchanged; if the material transport assembly 200 transports material in the second transport direction, the material direction is changed at the same time the transport direction is changed.

Wherein, the number and the direction of the selectable conveying directions of the material conveying assembly 200 can be set according to the requirement, and in order to take efficiency and cost into consideration, the material conveying assembly 200 can selectively convey materials in the mutually vertical conveying directions.

For example, the material transfer assembly 200 may be provided with two transfer lanes perpendicular to each other and a connecting lane connecting the two transfer lanes at the intersection of the two transfer lanes, the connecting lane being provided with controllable valves and guiding mechanisms to control the valves and guiding mechanisms to guide material along the desired transfer lane portions as desired. That is, the valves and guide mechanisms may be controlled so that material can be conveyed along a single conveying path without changing direction, or so that material can be moved along one conveying path to an intersection through the valves and guide mechanisms and continue along another conveying path, thereby changing the direction of conveyance vertically.

For the sake of simplifying the structure, preferably, as shown in fig. 1, the material conveying assembly 200 may include four conveying roller sets 210 equally angularly distributed around the rotation axis of the rotating table 110, the four conveying roller sets 210 form a conveying area, and the conveying directions of two oppositely arranged conveying roller sets 210 are the same (that is, the conveying directions of two adjacent conveying roller sets 210 are perpendicular). Thus, material may be conveyed in two perpendicular linear directions (in practice four conveying directions) by material conveying assembly 200. In which the four conveying roller groups 210 bisect the conveying area, the conveying speed of each conveying roller group 210 may be the same in order to control the conveying direction.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 to 14, four successively adjacent transport roller sets 210 are referred to as a first transport roller set 210a, a second transport roller set 210b, a third transport roller set 210c, and a fourth transport roller set 210d, respectively, for convenience of description.

In fig. 14, the first conveying roller group 210a and the third conveying roller group 210c are conveyed in the left-right direction in fig. 13, and the second conveying roller group 210b and the fourth conveying roller group 210d are conveyed in the right-right direction in fig. 13. According to the composition of the movement, when the material is fed from the rear side in the width direction, the material is conveyed by the material conveying assembly 200 without changing the material direction and is still conveyed in the width direction.

As described above, in order to form a desired conveying direction by the combination of the motions, the four conveying roller groups 210 may be equally angularly distributed around the rotation axis of the rotary table 110 to bisect the conveying area. Wherein the rotary table 110 is generally configured to have a circular table top, and preferably four of the conveying roller sets 210 form a circular conveying area in order to substantially correspond to the table top of the rotary table 110 and to increase contact with the material when the material is fed. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, each of the conveying roller groups 210 includes a plurality of conveying rollers 211 that are aligned in parallel, and the length of the conveying rollers 211 is gradually increased and then gradually decreased from the inside toward the outside of the conveying area, so that the conveying area is substantially circular. Before the length of the conveying roller 211 is increased to the maximum length in the direction from the inner side to the outer side of the conveying region, the corresponding conveying rollers 211 of the adjacent conveying roller group 210 are disposed adjacent to each other, and the corresponding conveying rollers 211 of the adjacent conveying roller group 210 are spaced apart from each other by an increased distance at a portion where the length of the conveying roller 211 starts to decrease. When the material is supplied, the material is firstly contacted with the longest conveying roller 211, if the conveying roller 211 is not arranged outside the longest conveying roller 211, the material needs to be conveyed inwards by the longest conveying roller 211 until the conveying roller 211 at the inner side is contacted with the material. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, when the material is supplied, the material first contacts with the longest conveying roller 211, and at the same time or shortly before and after, the material can contact with the conveying roller 211 outside the longest conveying roller 211, so that the conveying roller 211 outside and the longest conveying roller 211 convey the material to the inner side together, and the conveying efficiency and stability are improved. Among them, the number, parallel interval, length of the conveying rollers 211 of each conveying roller group 210 may be set according to a required conveying speed, stability, and the like.

In this application, the transport roller group 210 may be driven in an appropriate manner. Preferably, the material conveying assembly 200 may include a conveying motor 220, and the conveying motor 220 may drive the single conveying roller set 210 or simultaneously drive the two conveying roller sets 210 which are oppositely arranged through a chain. Specifically, four conveying motors 220 may be provided for the four conveying roller groups 210, respectively, so that each conveying motor 220 drives the corresponding conveying roller group 210 by a chain. Alternatively, two conveying motors 220 may be provided, each conveying motor 220 driving the opposing two conveying roller sets 210 via a chain. As shown in fig. 2, the conveying motor 220 may be mounted on the lower side of the rotating table 110 through a conveying motor mounting bracket 230 so as not to interfere with the material conveying.

To ensure that the incoming material is correctly oriented, the transfer machine may include a guide assembly 300 disposed on the turntable 110 adjacent the transfer area. When material is fed, the material may be guided by the guide assembly 300 to a specific direction relative to the conveying direction of the set of conveyor rollers 210 before the material contacts the set of conveyor rollers 210 to ensure a specific feed direction relative to the set of conveyor rollers 210.

Due to the rotation of the rotary table 110, the four conveying roller sets 210 shown in fig. 5 can be interchanged, and the corresponding guide assembly 300 can be disposed adjacent to each conveying roller set 210 for facilitating the feeding from various directions.

The guide assemblies 300 may take on a respective appropriate form to direct material to a particular direction relative to the direction of conveyance of the corresponding set of conveyor rollers 210. Preferably, each of the guide assemblies 300 may include a plurality of guide wheels 310, each of the guide assemblies 300 includes two guide wheel sets respectively corresponding to adjacent guide assemblies 300, each of the guide wheel sets includes at least two guide wheels 310 arranged along a straight line, and the corresponding guide wheel sets of adjacent guide assemblies 300 are parallel to each other. Therefore, when materials are supplied, the material direction can be guided to the arrangement direction of the guide wheels 310 of the guide wheel set through the corresponding guide wheel set of the adjacent guide assembly 300.

The arrangement direction of the guide wheels 310 of the guide wheel set can be set as required, for example, it can be determined according to the conveying speed of each conveying roller set 210, the relation between the material direction to be guided and the conveying direction of the conveying roller set 210. As described above, in order to make the rectangular material present in the material direction along the length direction or the width direction thereof, the conveying speed of each conveying roller set 210 is the same, and it is preferable that the guide wheels 310 of each guide wheel set are arranged in the conveying direction of the conveying roller set 210 corresponding to the guide assembly 300 thereof at 45 °. As shown in fig. 5 and 10, the material is fed from the rear side and guided by the guide assembly 300 such that the material direction is substantially along the length or width direction of the material, which is 45 ° to the conveying direction of the conveyor roller group 210, so that the forward, leftward and rightward conveying directions can be alternatively combined by the respective conveyor roller groups 210.

To accommodate providing more material directions for materials having different dimensional parameters (e.g., providing material directions along their length and width directions for materials having rectangular cross-sections), the distance between two guide wheel sets of each guide assembly 300 and the adjacent corresponding guide wheel set is preferably different. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, a distance between a left guide wheel set of the guide assembly 300 indicated by the lead and a guide wheel set adjacent to the left side in fig. 1 is greater than a distance between a right guide wheel set of the guide assembly 300 indicated by the lead and a guide wheel set adjacent to the right side in fig. 1, so that the material direction can be guided to a direction with a smaller size (for example, a width direction) by the left guide wheel set and the adjacent guide wheel set, and the material direction can be guided to a direction with a larger size (for example, a length direction) by the right guide wheel set and the adjacent guide wheel set. To achieve the difference in the distance between the two guide roller sets of each guide assembly 300 and the adjacent corresponding guide roller set, each guide assembly 300 may be disposed at a position offset to one side of the corresponding conveying roller set 210, and the adjacent guide assemblies 300 are in opposite directions (for example, one guide assembly 300 is offset to the right side of the corresponding conveying roller set 210, and the other guide assembly 300 is offset to the left side of the corresponding conveying roller set 210).

The guide assembly 300 may be arranged in any suitable manner. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the guide assembly 300 may include a guide wheel support shaft 320 mounted to the rotation table 110, and the guide wheel 310 may be rotatably mounted to the guide wheel support shaft 320. Wherein, for efficiency and cost, each guide assembly 300 comprises three guide wheels 310, the guide wheel support shafts 320 of the three guide wheels 310 are arranged at the vertex of the equilateral triangle, and the three guide wheels 310 are tangent to each other.

In the present application, the turntable assembly 100 may take a suitable form to enable the turntable 110 to rotate. The transfer machine of the present application may have other auxiliary components to mount and support the turntable assembly 100. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 4, the transfer unit includes a base unit 400, and the rotary table 110 is rotatably attached to the base unit 400.

Specifically, the rotating table assembly 100 includes a rotating base 130, a rotating motor 140 for driving the rotating table 110 to rotate, and a rotating motor mounting bracket 150, the rotating table 110 is mounted on the rotating base 130, the rotating base 130 may include a frame portion 131 and a leg portion 132 extending upward from the frame portion 131, the rotating table 110 is supported on the leg portion 132, and the rotating motor 140 is mounted on the frame portion 131 through the rotating motor mounting bracket 150. The frame portion 131 is rotatably mounted on the base main body 430 of the base assembly 400 through the rotary support 420 of the base assembly 400, and the rotary motor 140 drives the gear 170 matched with the rotary support 420 to rotate so as to drive the rotary table 110 to rotate.

To improve the rotational stability of the rotating table 110, preferably, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the base assembly 400 may include an annular support plate 410, and the rotating table assembly 100 includes a traveling wheel 120 installed below the rotating table 110 such that the traveling wheel 120 moves along the support plate 410 as the rotating table 110 rotates. Wherein the travelling wheels 120 can be mounted to the frame part 131 by means of a travelling wheel mount 160. Also, preferably, the running wheels 120 may be disposed below a position close to the outer circumference of the rotating table 110, and a plurality of running wheels 120 may be disposed at equal angular intervals along the outer circumference of the rotating table 110 to make the rotation of the rotating table 110 more smooth. Wherein the base body 430 may include a body frame 431 and a leg 432 supported below the body frame 431, and the swivel bearing 420 and the support plate 410 may be mounted on the body frame 431.
