As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a buffer mechanism 100, which includes a lifting assembly 110 and a lifting assembly.

The jacking assembly 110 is used to jack the product conveyed by the flowline 200 to exit the flowline 200. The lifting assembly includes a first mounting base 121, a second mounting base 122, a first support block 123, and a second support block 124. The first mounting seat 121 and the second mounting seat 122 are respectively disposed on two sides of the streamline 200. The first supporting block 123 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 121, the second supporting block 124 is movably connected to the second mounting seat 122, and the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 can be far away from or close to each other during the moving process.

Wherein the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 have a moving trend of approaching each other, and an overhead channel for the product to pass through is formed between the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 which support the product and the streamline 200; in the process of jacking the product by the jacking assembly 110, the product can be abutted against the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124, and the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 are pushed away from each other so as to be passed by the product.

When the flow line 200 delivers the product to the jacking assembly 110, the jacking assembly 110 lifts the spade off the flow line 200, and the product pushes the first and second support blocks 123, 124 away from each other until the product passes. After the product passes, the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 have a moving trend of approaching each other, so that when the jacking assembly 110 puts down the product, the product is supported by the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 approaching each other. Meanwhile, an overhead channel for the product to pass through is formed between the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 and the streamline 200, so that the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 can not influence the subsequent product conveying after supporting the product.

It can be seen that, with the above-mentioned buffer mechanism 100, after the product is lifted by the lifting assembly 110 through the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124, the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 approach each other and support the product, and then the lifting assembly 110 returns to the initial position, and the subsequent product can still pass through the overhead channel formed by the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 and the streamline 200. Thus, the streamline 200 does not need to wait for the products supported by the first supporting block 123 and the second supporting block 124 to be removed and then convey the subsequent products, thereby effectively improving the conveying efficiency of the products.

It should be noted that, assuming that the product conveyed by the streamline 200 can pass through two jacking stations, the buffer mechanism 100 may be disposed at a previous jacking station, or the buffer mechanism 100 may be disposed at both jacking stations, so that the streamline 200 can continuously convey the product to a subsequent jacking station while the buffer mechanism 100 is implemented to buffer the product.

Of course, when the product conveyed by the flow line 200 can pass through more than two jacking stations, the buffer mechanism 100 may be disposed at all the jacking stations, or all the jacking stations except the last jacking station may be disposed with the buffer mechanism 100, so as to ensure conveying efficiency of the product.

In one embodiment, caching mechanism 100 further includes a blocking component 130. The blocking assembly 130 serves to block the product on the flowline 200 from continuing to be transported to ensure that the product remains at the jacking assembly 110, thereby facilitating the jacking assembly 110 to jack the product off the flowline 200.

It should be noted that, the blocking assembly 130 is a conventional mechanism, and will not be described herein.

In one embodiment, the jacking assembly 110 includes a jacking drive 111 and a top plate 112. The lifting driving piece 111 is disposed below the streamline 200 and connected to the top plate 112 to drive the top plate 112 to lift, and the top plate 112 can bear and lift the product on the streamline 200 during the lifting process. After the product is supported on the first support block 123 and the second support block 124, the top plate 112 is lowered back to the original position to avoid affecting the continued delivery of the product on the flow line 200.

Alternatively, the lift drive 111 is a cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the lift drive 111 may be other drive mechanisms.

In one embodiment, the first support block 123 reciprocates between a first pass position and a first bearing position, and the first support block 123 has a tendency to move toward the first bearing position, the second support block 124 reciprocates between a second pass position and a second bearing position, and the second support block 124 has a tendency to move toward the second bearing position.

When the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 are respectively moved to the first passing position and the second passing position, the product can pass between the first support block 123 and the second support block 124; when the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 are respectively moved to the first support position and the second support position, the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 can support the product together.

In the first embodiment, the first supporting block 123 is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 121, and the first supporting block 123 can rotate towards the first supporting position under the action of gravity, and the second supporting block 124 is rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 122, and the second supporting block 124 can rotate towards the second supporting position under the action of gravity. As such, the first and second support blocks 123 and 124 have a tendency to move closer to each other under the force of gravity.

It will be appreciated that initially, the support blocks (either the first support block 123 or the second support block 124) are positioned at the support positions (either the first support position or the second support position), and the top plate 112 pushes the support blocks to the passing positions (either the first passing positions or the second passing positions) during the product lifting process. After the product passes, the supporting block returns to the supporting position under the action of gravity, then the top plate 112 descends, and the product is supported on the supporting block.

In the second embodiment, the first supporting block 123 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 121, and the second supporting block 124 is rotatably connected to the second mounting base 122. The lifting assembly further comprises a first elastic member 125 and a second elastic member 125, wherein the first elastic member 125 is connected between the first mounting seat 121 and the first supporting block 123 for providing a force for rotating the first supporting block 123 towards the first supporting position, and the second elastic member 125 is connected between the second mounting seat 122 and the second supporting block 124 for providing a force for rotating the second supporting block 124 towards the first supporting position.

It will be appreciated that in the present embodiment, the first elastic member 125 and the second elastic member 125 are configured to provide a force for approaching the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 to each other, so as to ensure that the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 can approach each other to return to the first support position and the second support position after the product pushes the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 to the first passing position and the second passing position, respectively.

In the process of lifting the top plate 112, the product abuts against the bearing block, and pushes the bearing block to move towards the passing position against the acting force of the elastic member 125 (the first elastic member 125 or the second elastic member 125). After the product passes through the back, the supporting block returns to the supporting position under the action of the elastic member 125, and then the top plate 112 descends, and the product is supported by the supporting block.

In the third embodiment, the first support block 123 and the second support block 124 are reciprocally movable in the direction Y perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the flow line 200 so as to be moved toward or away from each other during movement. The lifting assembly further includes a first elastic member 125 and a second elastic member 125, wherein the first elastic member 125 is connected between the first mounting seat 121 and the first supporting block 123 for providing a force for moving the first supporting block 123 towards the first supporting position, and the second elastic member 125 is connected between the second mounting seat 122 and the second supporting block 124 for providing a force for moving the second supporting block 124 towards the second supporting position.

The supporting block is provided with an abutment inclined surface 1261, and when the top plate 112 lifts the product, the product abuts against the abutment inclined surface 1261 and can provide a force to the supporting block, which moves toward the passing position. Taking fig. 3 as an example, in the second embodiment, the product moves from bottom to top, during which the product contacts abutment ramp 1261 and pushes the support block counterclockwise. After the product passes through, the supporting block rotates clockwise under the action of the elastic member 125 to return to the supporting position, and the product above is supported.

Alternatively, the elastic member 125 may be a spring or other elastic structure. Meanwhile, the mounting base (the first mounting base 121 or the second mounting base 122) and the supporting block are provided with mounting holes, and the elastic member 125 can be installed in the mounting holes to avoid the elastic member 125 from falling off.

In one embodiment, the first mounting seat 121 is provided with a first limiting structure 127, the first supporting block 123 can be abutted against the first limiting structure 127 in the moving process, and the first limiting structure 127 is used for limiting the first supporting block 123 between the first passing position and the first supporting position. The second mounting seat 122 is provided with a second limiting structure 127, the second supporting block 124 can be abutted against the second limiting structure 127 in the moving process, and the second limiting structure 127 is used for limiting the second supporting block 124 between the second passing position and the second supporting position.

Referring to fig. 3, in the second embodiment, a first abutting portion 1262 and a second abutting portion 1263 are respectively disposed at two ends of the supporting block. In the process of counterclockwise rotation of the supporting block, the first abutting part 1262 can abut against the limiting structure 127 (the first limiting structure 127 or the second limiting structure 127) so as to limit the supporting block to a passing position; during the clockwise rotation of the bearing block, the second abutting portion 1263 can abut against the limiting structure 127, so as to limit the bearing block to the bearing position. The elastic member 125 is connected to an end of the support block near the first abutting portion 1262.

It will be appreciated that the first embodiment may refer to the construction of the second embodiment, provided that it ensures that the support blocks can return to the support position under the force of gravity.

Meanwhile, in the third embodiment, the limiting structure 127 may include two baffles, which are arranged at intervals along the direction Y perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the flow line 200, and the support block reciprocates between the two baffles, so as to limit the support block between the passing position and the support position.

It should be noted that in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the support block is rotatably connected to the mounting base through the rotation shaft 128.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3 to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the buffer mechanism 100 further includes a positioning component disposed above the flow line 200, and the positioning component is used for positioning the product supported by the lifting component, so as to ensure that the subsequent handling mechanism can accurately grasp the product.

In one embodiment, the positioning assembly includes a first positioning block 141, a second positioning block 142, a third positioning block 143, and a fourth positioning block 144. The first positioning blocks 141 and the second positioning blocks 142 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction X of the flow line 200, and are used for positioning products in the conveying direction X of the flow line 200; the third positioning block 143 and the fourth positioning block 144 are respectively disposed at two sides of the streamline 200, and are used for positioning the product in a direction Y perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the streamline 200.

Further, a side of the first positioning block 141 facing the second positioning block 142 is provided with a first positioning surface 145 and a first guiding surface 146, a side of the second positioning block 142 facing the first positioning block 141 is provided with a second positioning surface 145 and a second guiding surface 146, the first positioning surface 145 and the second positioning surface 145 are used for positioning the product, the first guiding surface 146 is obliquely arranged relative to the first positioning surface 145, the second guiding surface 146 is obliquely arranged relative to the second positioning surface 145, and the first guiding surface 146 and the second guiding surface 146 are used for guiding the product to enter between the first positioning surface 145 and the second positioning surface 145.

The third positioning block 143 has a third positioning surface 145 and a third guiding surface 146 towards one side of the fourth positioning block 144, the fourth positioning block 144 has a fourth positioning surface 145 and a fourth guiding surface 146 towards one side of the third positioning block 143, the third positioning surface 145 and the fourth positioning surface 145 are used for positioning the product, the third guiding surface 146 is obliquely arranged relative to the third positioning surface 145, the fourth guiding surface 146 is obliquely arranged relative to the fourth positioning surface 145, and the third guiding surface 146 and the fourth guiding surface 146 are used for guiding the product to enter between the third positioning surface 145 and the fourth positioning surface 145.

It can be understood that the conveying direction X of the streamline 200 and the direction Y perpendicular thereto are both horizontal directions, so the positioning surfaces 145 (the first positioning surface 145, the second positioning surface 145, the third positioning surface 145 and the fourth positioning surface 145) are all planes in the vertical direction, and the positioning surfaces 145 enclose a positioning space to position the product in the horizontal direction. Meanwhile, the obliquely arranged guiding surfaces 146 (the first guiding surface 146, the second guiding surface 146, the third guiding surface 146 and the fourth guiding surface 146) are used for guiding the product to enter the positioning space, so that the product is positioned.

In addition, the product enters the positioning space, so that the guiding surface 146 and the positioning surface 145 are in contact with the outer side of the product. Compared with the positioning mode of the positioning pin, the positioning assembly is used for positioning the product, positioning holes or other structures are not required to be arranged on the product, and the integrity of the product can be ensured. Meanwhile, the buffer mechanism 100 can be suitable for more products needing to ensure the integrity, and the applicability of the buffer mechanism 100 is improved.

Further, the first positioning block 141 includes two first guiding surfaces 146, the two first guiding surfaces 146 are respectively connected to two ends of the first positioning surface 145 along the vertical direction, and the two first guiding surfaces 146 are symmetrically arranged. The second positioning block 142 includes two second guiding surfaces 146, the two second guiding surfaces 146 are respectively connected to two ends of the second positioning surface 145 along the vertical direction, and the two second guiding surfaces 146 are symmetrically arranged. The third positioning block 143 includes two third guiding surfaces 146, the two third guiding surfaces 146 are respectively connected to two ends of the third positioning surface 145 along the vertical direction, and the two third guiding surfaces 146 are symmetrically arranged. The fourth positioning block 144 includes two fourth guiding surfaces 146, the two fourth guiding surfaces 146 are respectively connected to two ends of the fourth positioning surface 145 along the vertical direction, and the two fourth guiding surfaces 146 are symmetrically arranged.

In this way, the guide surface 146 located below the positioning surface 145 guides the product to guide the product into the positioning space during the process of lifting the product by the top plate 112. If the product rises higher than the positioning surface 145, the guide surface 146 above the positioning surface 145 can guide the product during the product falling back into the positioning space. Meanwhile, if the height of the positioning surface 145 is increased to ensure that the product is lifted in the positioning space, friction between the product and the positioning surface 145 can be always generated during the lifting process of the product, so that the product is easy to wear.

In one embodiment, the positioning assembly further includes a first positioning seat 147 and a second positioning seat 148, the first positioning seat 147 and the second positioning seat 148 are respectively disposed on two sides of the streamline 200, the first mounting seat 121 is disposed on the first positioning seat 147, the second mounting seat 122 is disposed on the second positioning seat 148, the third positioning block 143 is disposed on the first positioning seat 147, and the fourth positioning block 144 is disposed on the second positioning seat 148.

Further, the positioning assembly includes two sets of first positioning blocks 141 and two sets of second positioning blocks 142, wherein one set of first positioning blocks 141 and one set of second positioning blocks 142 are arranged on the first positioning seat 147 at intervals along the conveying direction X of the streamline 200, and the other set of first positioning blocks 141 and the other set of second positioning blocks 142 are arranged on the second positioning seat 148 at intervals along the conveying direction X of the streamline 200.

Of course, in the case where the first positioning block 141 and the second positioning block 142 include only one set, the first positioning block 141 and the second positioning block 142 may be provided to the first positioning seat 147 or the second positioning seat 148.

In particular, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the number of first positioning blocks 141 in each set is one, and the number of second positioning blocks 142 in each set is also one. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of each set of the first positioning blocks 141 and each set of the second positioning blocks 142 may be plural, and the plurality of first positioning blocks 141 and the plurality of second positioning blocks 142 of each set are arranged at intervals along the direction Y perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the streamline 200.

In one embodiment, the positioning assembly comprises at least two third positioning blocks 143 and at least two fourth positioning blocks 144, each of the at least two third positioning blocks 143 and the at least two fourth positioning blocks 144 being arranged at intervals along the conveying direction X of the flow line 200.

To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the working procedure of the caching mechanism 100 in the second embodiment is described herein with reference to fig. 1:

The flow line 200 delivers product and the blocking mechanism blocks the product at the jacking station. Then, the jacking driving piece 111 drives the top plate 112 to ascend and drives the product to ascend, and in the process of ascending of the product, the product can be abutted with the abutting inclined surface 1261 of the bearing block, the guide surface 146 and the positioning surface 145 of the positioning block, so that the bearing block is pushed to move towards the passing position and positioning is achieved under the action of the positioning block.

After the product passes through the support block, the support block returns to the support position under the action of the elastic member 125. The top plate 112 is then lowered and the product is supported by the support blocks during the lowering process. The product supported by the supporting block is positioned in the positioning space so as to ensure that the subsequent carrying mechanism accurately grabs the product. After the top plate 112 returns to the original position, an overhead passage for the product to pass through is formed between the supporting block and the streamline 200, so that the subsequent product can pass through, and the influence on the conveying of the subsequent product is avoided.
