Description

Automated system for transporting parts for vehicle loading {AUTOMATIC SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING PARTS FOR LOADING VEHICLE}

The present invention relates to an automated system for transporting parts for loading on a vehicle, and more particularly, to an automated system for transporting components for loading on a vehicle, which allows assembly parts to be automatically loaded onto a logistics loading vehicle along a transport route from an assembly plant.

For example, until air conditioning parts such as heat exchangers used in vehicles or home appliances are produced, the air conditioning parts are assembled in the parts assembly plant of the supplier, which is an outsourcing partner, and these semi-finished air conditioning parts are transported using logistics transport vehicles. It is transported to the finished product manufacturing plant.

In a finished product manufacturing plant, finished products related to air conditioning devices such as vehicles or home appliances are produced through a finished product assembly process for assembling air conditioning parts and other semi-processed air conditioning parts for vehicles or home appliances.

In this case, the air conditioning parts produced in the parts assembly plant are usually stored and supported on pallets, then loaded and transported in the loading box of the logistics transport vehicle, and after being stored in the finished product manufacturing plant, the pallet is unloaded from the loading box of the logistics transport vehicle to deliver the parts. will do

In the current automated logistics process, various types of logistics transport vehicles are applied according to the size, shape, and characteristics of the logistics. Various types of logistics transport vehicles are being developed according to the transition from the old small-quantity-mass-production method to the current multi-kind-small-quantity production method.

In such a logistics transport vehicle, a pallet loaded with parts is moved to a finished product production plant in a state where the pallet is loaded, and the parts are unloaded together with the pallet.

By the way, in order to transport parts by the above logistics transport vehicle, a loading box equipped with a vehicle container is used, and a separate equipment such as a forklift is used when loading and unloading parts.

In addition, after the parts are transported, the work is performed while the container is loaded in the loading box when unloading the internal parts, and the truck towing the loading box must stand by until the unloading work is completed.

In this way, the use of a forklift is essential in a series of processes of loading, transporting, and unloading of parts from the supplier to the main company. There were problems such as hazards and a significant amount of time and labor required to transport the parts.

In addition, when there is no separate equipment such as a forklift when loading and unloading parts, since the operator must perform the loading and unloading work himself, the loading and unloading work time increases, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency.

When the logistics transport vehicle 400 is located in the loading area, the corresponding vehicle loading unit 300 among the vehicle loading units 300 storing the plurality of air conditioning parts 10 is moved to the logistics transport vehicle 400. let it

In order for the logistics transport vehicle 400 to load the pallet 20 on which the air conditioning parts 10 are mounted, the rear door side of the loading box 410 of the logistics transport vehicle 400 is arranged in a line with the vehicle loading unit 300. And, the loading stage 320 of the vehicle loading unit 300 and the loading stage 421 of the container 420 of the logistics transport vehicle 400 are aligned with each other.

Subsequently, the operator loads the plurality of pallets 20 on which the air conditioning parts 10 are mounted along the transport rollers of the loading stage 320 of the vehicle loading unit 300 and the transport rollers of the loading stage 421 of the container 420. let it

Therefore, the present invention utilizes a palletizer such as an automated conveyor unit for a series of processes from assembling parts to loading air conditioning parts into containers of a logistics transport vehicle to quickly load a large amount of components into a logistics transport vehicle. can do.

In addition, the present invention can reduce the labor force of workers required to transport parts, improve the loading work environment where injuries are frequent, and reduce the waiting time due to the exclusion of forklifts, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. there is.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings illustrated, but the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, and various modifications are made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. It is obvious that variations can be made. In addition, although the operational effects according to the configuration of the present invention have not been explicitly described and described while describing the embodiments of the present invention, it is natural that the effects predictable by the corresponding configuration should also be recognized.
