Description

The invention relates to complex automation of process equipment and can be applied to provide with details of assembly process equipment.

A known system for automated provision of technological equipment, such as assembly equipment, containing a warehouse of parts and a trolley with an addressing device and a programming device moving along the route along the technological equipment. Each process equipment has a receiving position for reloading parts 1.

A disadvantage of the known process equipment supply system is the lack of automatic reloading of parts from the warehouse into the process equipment in accordance with their needs.

The purpose of the device is to automate the overloading of parts from the warehouse into the trolley.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the parts warehouse is made in the form of a closed elevator-type conveyor with articulated on

its links are provided with a stop connected to the programming device, installed in the zone of overloading the parts from the suspension into the trolley with the possibility of interaction with the suspensions.

In addition, in order to expand the nomenclature of overloaded parts, the automated support system is distinguished by the fact that in it the part warehouse is made up of parallel conveyors arranged in parallel.

Also programming device

15 is equipped with a control unit, made in the form of a drum with suspension carriers, mounted so that it can be rotated from the conveyor drive.

In addition, the process equipment is equipped with loading-orienting devices, and the receiving positions of the process equipment are equipped with proportioning dispensers for unloading parts into the loading-orientation device.

FIG. 1 shows a system for the automated provision of technological equipment,

30 general view; in fig. 2 - conveyor

in fig. 3 —conveyor control unit; in fig. 4 shows section A-A in FIG. H; in fig. 5 - dispenser.

The system of automated provision of technological equipment consists of a warehouse of parts 1, a monorail track 2, a trolley 3 with parts carriers 4, a dispenser i, trays b, a load-oriented device 7, a programming device 8, a control unit 9 and a control panel 10.

The storage of parts of FIG. 2) consists of parallel closed elevator-type conveyors 11. At the chain links of the conveyors 11, hinges 12 are equipped with suspensions 13, on which there are bosses 14 for engagement with an emphasis 15, which is pulled out by an electromagnet 16 when the suspensions are turned 13.

The loading of parts serves as a loading bunker 17 with a valve 18 controlled by an electromagnet 19. The control unit 9 is connected by a rigid kinematic connection 20 and 21 to the conveyor 11 and is designed as a rotary drum 22 (figure 4) with an address carrier, the information from which is removed by the reader 23 in the loading zone and the reader 24 in the unloading zone, which determine to which part the given suspension is assigned and is full or empty. The information on whether the suspension is full or empty is removed from the information pin 25, which has two fixed positions. The suspension is loaded and the suspension is unloaded.

The change of position of the information pin 25 is carried out by mechanisms 26 and 27.

The dispenser (figure 5) consists of a hopper 28 and a screw drum 29, rotated by the actuator 30.

The system of automated provision of parts of technological equipment operates in two modes: in the mode of loading the warehouse and in the mode of provision of parts of technological equipment.

Warehouse loading is done by the picker at the beginning of the shift. To do this, it needs to perform the following operations: type the parts into a measuring container, fill them with a zag); The bunker 17 of the conveyor 11, press the button with the name of the part on the control panel 10.

After this, the programming device 8 of the system finds, using the control unit 9, the desired empty cabinet 13, stops it on the boot site, turns on the electromagnet 19, which opens the valve 18 and the parts are poured into the suspension 13. At this time, the mechanism

26 transferring the pin 25 to the Suspension position is loaded on the control unit 9. Thus, the control unit reflects all information about the presence of parts in the suspensions of the conveyor.

In the mode of providing with details of the process equipment, the system works as follows.

Parts are taken individually from the loading and orienting device 7, in which, at a certain balance of parts, a sensor for the presence of parts (not shown) is triggered. At the signal of this sensor, the metering device 5, by rotating the screw drum 29 through tray b, overloads a portion of the parts into the loading orienting device 7. After all the parts from the hopper 28 are reloaded into the screw drum 29, the sensor for the presence of parts in the metering unit is activated. This signal enters the programming device 8, which determines the route of the self-propelled trolley 3 to the place of overload of parts from the suspension 13 into the carrier of the depleted 4 and, together with the control unit 9, finds the full suspension 13 with the required part and brings it to the place of overload. After the carrier 4 of the self-propelled cart is stopped at the place of overload and the suspension 13 with the necessary details also becomes at the place of overload, the electromagnet 16 operates and advances the stop 15, at the same time the drive of the conveyor 18 turns on and shifts it by one step the time of this movement, the stop 15, interacting with the boss 14 on the suspension 13, turns it over and the parts are reloaded from the suspension 13 into the carrier 4 of the self-propelled trolley 3, and the mechanism 27 on the control unit 9 moves the information pin 25 to the position Suspension is unloaded. The self-propelled carriage 3 moves along the route defined by the programming device 8, brings the carrier 4 to the desired dispenser 5 and overloads the parts into its hopper 28. Thus, uninterrupted provision of technological equipment is carried out.

The invention makes it possible to fully automate the processes of storing, finding the parts that are needed at the moment, their delivery and loading into technological equipment (for example, assembly equipment), which, in turn, allows to increase labor productivity and reduce the number of auxiliary workers.
