Referring to fig. 1, a material handling system according to an embodiment of the present application will now be described. The material transfer system 11 provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a loading station 111 and an automatic guiding and carrying robot 113.

In the embodiment of the application, the material is an electric core. The last station of the loading station 111 is a one-time liquid injection station.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the loading station 111 includes a first conveyor line 1111 and a loading buffer rack 1112, and an outlet end of the first conveyor line 1111 is connected to the loading buffer rack 1112.

The first conveying line 1111 is used for conveying the material processed by the previous station to the upper buffer rack 1112 for buffering. The first conveying line 1111 may be a conveyor belt mechanism or a conveying roller mechanism, and is capable of carrying material and stably conveying the material.

The supporting plane can be a flat plate or a grid shape, is convenient for placing and taking and placing materials, or is a supporting plane formed by a conveying belt or a roller group.

After the first conveyor line 1111 delivers material to its outlet end, the material is transferred to the upper buffer rack 1112 for temporary storage. The feeding buffer rack 1112 can play a role in buffering, and when the automatic guiding transfer robot 113 fails to take away the material in time, the material can wait for the material, so that the production rhythm of the equipment of the last station is prevented from being influenced. Meanwhile, the feeding buffer rack 1112 is usually positioned so as to be automatically guided to the transfer robot 113 for operation, thereby improving the transfer efficiency. That is, the loading buffer rack 1112 provides a stable material source for the automatic guided transporting robot 113, ensuring that the automatic guided transporting robot 113 can continuously perform the material transporting operation.

Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, an automatic guided transporting robot 113 is used to transport the material on the loading buffer rack 1112 to the processing apparatus 12 or to transport the processed material from the processing apparatus 12 to the discharging position.

The automatic guiding transfer robot 113 can accurately determine its own position in the working area, and according to a preset path planning and task instruction, the robot can autonomously travel to the feeding buffer rack 1112, the processing apparatus 12, and the position where the discharging is performed.

When the automatic guided transfer robot 113 reaches the position of the loading buffer rack 1112, the material is removed from the buffer rack. The materials are then transported into the designated processing equipment 12 in accordance with the task instructions. After the processing device 12 finishes processing the material, the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 comes to the processing device 12 again, takes down the processed material, and carries the processed material to a discharging position.

Based on the above structure, the material transfer system 11 according to the embodiment of the application realizes efficient transfer of materials among different production links, transfers the materials from the previous station to the processing equipment 12 through the feeding station 111, and carries the processed materials to the discharging position. The feeding buffer rack 1112 provides a material temporary storage area for the automatic guiding transfer robot 113, so as to avoid influencing the production of the upstream and downstream production lines due to mismatch of production rhythms. The feeding buffer rack 1112 in the system can be reasonably arranged according to the actual site conditions, so that the space is fully utilized, and the occupied area is reduced. The automatic guiding transfer robot 113 can freely move in each area without arranging a fixed track or a structure, so that the flexibility is higher, the equipment layout adjustment is convenient, and the adaptability of layout change is higher.

Referring to fig. 2, the feeding buffer rack 1112 includes a first frame 11121 and a first buffer layer 11122, the first buffer layer 11122 includes a first roller set with first driving components located at two sides of the first frame 11121, the first roller set includes a plurality of first rollers 111221 disposed at intervals, the first roller 111221 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11121, and the first driving components are used for driving the first rollers 111221 to rotate.

The first frame 11121 serves as a supporting structure for the entire feeding buffer rack 1112, providing a stable installation base for the first buffer layer 11122.

The first caching layer 11122 includes a first drive assembly and first roller sets disposed on opposite sides of the first frame 11121, each first roller set including a plurality of first rollers 111221 disposed at intervals. The first rollers 111221 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, together form a plane for supporting and conveying the material, and are driven by the first driving assembly to convey the material. The first roller 111221 is rotatably coupled to the first frame 11121 such that the first roller 111221 is capable of rotating when driven by the first drive assembly. When the material is placed on the first roller 111221, the first roller 111221 rotates due to the driving of the first driving component, so that the friction between the material and the feeding buffer rack 1112 is reduced, and the material can move on the feeding buffer rack 1112 more smoothly. The first driving assembly may include a motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt, and the rotation of the motor is transmitted to the first drum 111221 through the synchronous belt and the synchronous pulley, thereby driving the plurality of first drums to rotate together.

Referring to fig. 2, the first buffer layer 11122 is provided with a plurality of first buffer layers 11122, and the plurality of first buffer layers 11122 are vertically arranged on the first frame 11121 at intervals, so that the material buffer capacity of the feeding buffer rack 1112 can be greatly increased, more materials to be processed can be stored at one time in the production process, and the blockage of the feeding link caused by the failure of timely taking away the materials by the automatic guiding transfer robot 113 is avoided. And through the design of layering from top to bottom, make full use of vertical space, reduced the area of loading station 111 on the planar space, be particularly useful for the limited production place in space. The first cache layer 11122 may specifically be provided with two, three, four, five, or even more.

Referring to fig. 2, the automatic guided transporting robot 113 transports the material on the first conveyor line 1111 to each of the first buffer layers 11122, or the loading station 111 further includes a first lifting mechanism 1113, where the first lifting mechanism 1113 includes a first fixing frame 11131, a first lifting platform 11132, a first conveying component 11133, and a first driver, the first fixing frame 11131 is located between the first conveyor line 1111 and the loading buffer frame 1112, the first lifting platform 11132 is liftably disposed on the first fixing frame 11131, the conveying direction of the first conveying component 11133 is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 1111, and the first driver is used to drive the first lifting platform 11132 to lift so that one end of the first conveying component 11133 engages with the first conveyor line 1111, or the other end of the first conveying component 11133 engages with any one of the first buffer layers 11122.

That is, there are two modes, one is to convey the material on the first conveyor line 1111 to the first buffer layer 11122 having different heights by using the lifting function of the automatic guided conveying robot 113 itself, and there is no need to provide the first lifting mechanism 1113. In order to improve the conveyance efficiency, to avoid material clogging, the number of the automatic guided conveyance robots 113 may be increased.

Another is to provide a first lifting mechanism 1113 between the first conveyor line 1111 and the feed buffer rack 1112, and rely on the first lifting mechanism 1113 to transport the material on the first conveyor line 1111 to the respective first buffer layers 11122 of different heights. That is, the first lifting mechanism 1113 is adopted to replace the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 so as to transfer the material between the first conveying line 1111 and the feeding buffer rack 1112, thereby reducing the call to the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 in the process, further reducing the number of the automatic guiding and carrying robots 113 and reducing the equipment cost.

The first fixing frame 11131 is located between the first conveyor line 1111 and the loading buffer frame 1112, and provides a stable installation base and support for the first elevating platform 11132. The first mount 11131 may be made of a strong metallic material with sufficient strength and stability to withstand the weight of the first stage 11132 and the material.

The first lifting platform 11132 is liftably provided on the first fixing frame 11131, and can realize stable lifting movement by means of a guide rail, a slider, and the like. The first elevating platform 11132 is configured to carry the first conveying assembly 11133, and to elevate the first conveying assembly 11133 to different height positions under the driving of the first driver, so as to implement engagement with the first conveying line 1111 or a different first buffer layer 11122.

The conveying direction of the first conveying component 11133 is the same as that of the first conveying line 1111, so that materials can be ensured to be smoothly transferred from the first conveying line 1111 to the first lifting platform 11132, and then conveyed to different layers of the feeding buffer rack 1112 through the first lifting platform 11132. Specifically, the first conveying assembly 11133 includes a driving motor, a transmission device, and conveying belts disposed on two sides of the first fixing frame 11131, on which two sides of the material are supported and conveyed by the conveying belts.

The first driver is used to drive the first lifting platform 11132 to lift, and may be a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device. In some embodiments, the first drive is driven by a chain, the ends of which are secured to first lift 11132, which provides a tight connection between the chain and the lift. When the chain moves, the lifting platform can be directly driven to lift. Sprockets are provided above and below the first fixing frame 11131. Sprockets are a critical component in a chain drive system that transmit power through engagement with a chain. The upper and lower sprockets cooperate to provide a stable running track for the chain. The sprocket is driven by the first driver, and when the sprocket rotates, the chain rolls on the sprocket, thereby driving the first elevating platform 11132 to perform elevating movement. When the sprocket rotates, the chain moves with the rotation of the sprocket due to the meshing relationship of the chain and the sprocket. Since both ends of the chain are fixed to the first elevating platform 11132, the movement of the chain drives the first elevating platform 11132 to elevate.

Based on the above structure, the feeding station 111 operates such that the material is placed on the first conveyor line 1111 from the previous station, and the first conveyor line 1111 conveys the material to the outlet end thereof. At this time, the first driver drives the first elevating platform 11132 to ascend or descend so that one end of the first conveying member 11133 engages with the first conveying line 1111. Material is transferred from the first conveyor line 1111 to the first conveyor assembly 11133, and then the first lift 11132 is raised or lowered to transfer the material to the designated first buffer layer 11122 for temporary storage.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the material transferring system further includes a discharging station 112, the discharging station 112 includes a second conveying line 1121 and a discharging buffer frame 1122, and an inlet end of the second conveying line 1121 is connected to the discharging buffer frame 1122. Wherein, the automatic guiding and transporting robot 113 is further configured to transport the processed material from the processing device 12 to the unloading buffer shelf 1122.

The second conveyor line 1121, similar to the first conveyor line 1111, may be a conveyor belt mechanism or a conveyor roller mechanism capable of carrying material and performing stable conveyance. The second conveyor line 1121 conveys the processed material from the blanking buffer rack 1122 to the next station, thereby realizing continuous production and circulation of the material.

The automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 carries the processed material from the processing equipment 12 to the blanking buffer frame 1122 for temporary storage, and the blanking buffer frame 1122 also plays a role in buffer storage, so that the influence on production due to the mismatch of the rhythms between the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 and the second production line is avoided. That is, the blanking buffer rack 1122 receives the processed material sent from the automatic guided transporting robot 113 and provides stable material supply for the next station.

In the embodiment of the present application, the next station of the blanking station 112 is a formation station. The processing equipment 12 between the loading station 111 and the unloading station 112 is high temperature ageing equipment.

The second roller 112221 is rotatably coupled to the second frame 11221 such that the second roller 112221 is capable of rotating when driven by the second drive assembly. When the material is placed on the second roller 112221, the second roller 112221 is rotated by the second driving assembly, so that the friction between the material and the lower buffer frame 1122 is reduced, and the material can move on the lower buffer frame 1122 more smoothly. The second driving assembly may include a motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt, and the rotation of the motor is transmitted to the second drum 112221 through the synchronous belt and the synchronous pulley, thereby driving the plurality of second drums to rotate together.

Referring to fig. 3, a plurality of second buffer layers 11222 are provided, and the plurality of second buffer layers 11222 are provided at the second frame 11221 with an up-down interval. The arrangement of the plurality of second buffer layers 11222 can significantly improve the material buffering capacity of the blanking buffer rack 1122, and in the production process, even if the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 carries the processed material to the blanking buffer rack 1122 frequently, enough space can be provided for temporary storage, so that the situations of material accumulation and blockage are avoided. In addition, by the design of layering up and down, the vertical space is fully utilized, the occupied area of the blanking station 112 on the plane space is reduced, and the method is particularly suitable for production places with limited space. The second cache layer 11222 may be provided with two, three, four, five, or even more.

The automatic guiding and transporting robot transports the materials on each second buffer layer to the second conveyor line, or the blanking station 112 further includes a second lifting mechanism 1123, where the second lifting mechanism 1123 includes a second fixing frame 11231, a second lifting platform 11232, a second conveying component 11233, and a second driver, the second fixing frame 11231 is located between the second conveyor line 1121 and the blanking buffer frame 1122, the second lifting platform 11232 is liftably disposed on the second fixing frame 11231, the conveying direction of the second conveying component 11233 is the same as the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 1121, and the second driver is used to drive the second lifting platform 11232 to lift so that one end of the second conveying component 11233 is connected to any second buffer layer 11222, or the other end of the second conveying component 11233 is connected to the second conveyor line 1121.

That is, there are two modes, one is to convey the materials on the second buffer layers 11222 having different heights onto the second conveyor line 1121 by using the lifting function of the automatic guided conveying robot 113 itself, and there is no need to provide the second lifting mechanism 1123. In order to improve the conveyance efficiency, to avoid material clogging, the number of the automatic guided conveyance robots 113 may be increased.

The other is to provide a second elevating mechanism 1123 between the blanking buffer frame 1122 and the second conveyor line 1121, and to convey the materials on the second buffer layers 11222 having different heights onto the second conveyor line 1121 by means of the second elevating mechanism 1123. That is, the second lifting mechanism 1123 is adopted to replace the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 so as to transfer the material between the blanking buffer rack 1122 and the second conveying line 1121, thereby reducing the call to the automatic guiding and carrying robot 113 in the process, further reducing the number of the automatic guiding and carrying robots 113 and reducing the equipment cost.

The second fixing frame 11231 is located between the second conveying line 1121 and the blanking buffer frame 1122, and provides a stable installation base and support for the second lifting platform 11232. The second mount 11231 may be made of a strong metallic material with sufficient strength and stability to withstand the weight of the second elevating platform 11232 and the material.

The second lifting platform 11232 is liftably provided on the second fixing frame 11231, and can realize a stable lifting motion by means of a guide rail, a slider, or the like. The second lifting platform 11232 is configured to carry the second conveying assembly 11233, and to lift the second conveying assembly 11233 to a different height position under the driving of the second driver, so as to implement engagement with a different second buffer layer 11222 or a second conveying line 1121.

The conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 11233 is the same as that of the second conveying line 1121, so that the materials can be conveyed smoothly from different layers of the blanking buffer rack 1122 to the second lifting platform 11232, and then transferred to the second conveying line 1121 by the second lifting platform 11232. Specifically, the second conveying assembly 11233 includes a driving motor, a transmission device, and conveying belts disposed at both sides of the second fixing frame 11231, on which both sides of the material are supported and conveyed by the conveying belts.

The second driver is used for driving the second lifting platform 11232 to lift, and may be a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device. In some embodiments, the second drive is driven by a chain, the ends of which are secured to the second elevating platform 11232, which causes the chain to form a tight connection with the second elevating platform 11232. When the chain moves, the second lifting platform 11232 can be directly driven to perform lifting action. Sprockets are provided above and below the second fixing frame 11231. Sprockets are a critical component in a chain drive system that transmit power through engagement with a chain. The upper and lower sprockets cooperate to provide a stable running track for the chain. The sprocket is driven by the second driver, and when the sprocket rotates, the chain rolls on the sprocket, thereby driving the second elevating platform 11232 to perform elevating movement. When the sprocket rotates, the chain moves with the rotation of the sprocket due to the meshing relationship of the chain and the sprocket. Since both ends of the chain are fixed to the second elevating platform 11232, the movement of the chain drives the second elevating platform 11232 to elevate.

Based on the above structure, the working process of the blanking station 112 is that when the automatic guiding transfer robot 113 places the processed material on one second buffer layer 11222 of the blanking buffer frame 1122, the second driver drives the second lifting platform 11232 to lift, so that one end of the second conveying component 11233 is connected with the corresponding second buffer layer 11222. Material is transferred from the second buffer layer 11222 to the second conveyor assembly 11233 and then the second elevator table 11232 descends to convey material onto the second conveyor line 1121. The second conveyor line 1121 conveys the material to the next station, completing the blanking process.

The height and structural design of the lifting frame 1132 can be adjusted according to actual requirements so as to adapt to different working environments and material sizes.

The lifting frame 1133 is liftably arranged on the lifting frame 1133, and specifically, the lifting frame 1132 can be connected with devices such as a guide rail, a sliding block and the like, so that stable lifting movement is realized. When it is desired to carry the material, the lifting frame 1133 is lowered by the third drive, the fork 1134 is inserted under the material, and then the lifting frame 1133 is raised to lift and transport the material to the designated location. The size and structural design of the lifting frame 1133 may be adjusted according to the shape and weight of the material to ensure safe and stable handling of the material.

The fork 1134 is disposed on the lifting frame 1133, and the fork 1134 can be inserted under the material on the upper buffer rack 1112 or the lower buffer rack 1122. The yoke 1134 is typically made of a high strength metallic material with sufficient load carrying capacity and rigidity to be inserted under the material and lifted. The yoke 1134 is a portion that directly contacts the material and may be shaped and sized according to the characteristics of the material. For example, standard forks may be used for pallet loads, and special forks 1134 may be custom-made for a particular shape of material. The yoke 1134 is designed to ensure that the material does not slip or break during handling.

The third driver is used for driving the lifting frame 1133 to lift, and the third driver can be a power device such as a motor, a hydraulic device and the like. It provides the power to enable the lifting frame 1133 to be raised or lowered to a designated height position on the lifting frame 1132. When it is desired to handle the material, the third drive is activated and it transmits power to the lifting frame 1133 via a transmission (e.g., chain, screw, etc.) to lower the lifting frame 1133. After the fork 1134 is inserted under the material, the third actuator operates in reverse to raise the lifting frame 1133 and raise the material. During the handling process, the third driver can adjust the height of the lifting frame 1133 as required to adapt to different working environments and material sizes.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the fork 1134 is telescopically arranged, and the automatic guided vehicle robot 113 further includes a telescopic drive mechanism for driving the fork 1134 to telescope. The fork 1134 is telescopically arranged, so that when the AGV trolley is parked beside the upper buffer rack 1112 or the lower buffer rack 1122, the telescopic driving mechanism drives the fork 1134 to extend out and insert the lower part of the material, and the AGV trolley is not required to move for insertion. Then the lifting frame 1133 is lifted to lift the material, and the telescopic driving mechanism drives the fork 1134 to shorten again, so that the material is positioned above the AGV trolley. In environments where space is limited, the AGV cart may not be able to move significantly to align the materials. The telescopic fork 1134 can be operated in a smaller space, so that the telescopic fork is suitable for different working scenes, and the flexibility of the automatic guiding transfer robot 113 is enhanced.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the fork 1134 includes a first arm 11341 and a second arm 11342, the first arm 11341 is slidable in a length direction on the lifting frame 1133, the second arm 11342 is provided on the first arm 11341 and is slidable along the first arm 11341, and a telescopic driving mechanism is used for driving the first arm 11341 to slide on the lifting frame 1133 and driving the second arm 11342 to slide on the first arm 11341.

The first arm 11341 is slidable in the length direction of the lifting frame 1133, which means that the first arm 11341 and the lifting frame 1133 can be slidably connected, so that the first arm 11341 can move in a specific direction relative to the lifting frame 1133. Sliding of the first arm 11341 may adjust the overall extension of the yoke 1134. At the same time, it also provides a basis for the second arm 11342 to mount and slide. Specifically, a plurality of rollers are disposed on the lifting frame 1133, the first arm 11341 is disposed on the rollers, and the lifting block and the first arm 11341 are connected through a sliding rail, so that the first arm 11341 can slide on the lifting frame 1133.

The second arm 11342 is nested on the first arm 11341, with movement relative to the first arm 11341 being accomplished by a specific sliding structure (e.g., a rail-slider assembly). The telescoping drive mechanism is coupled to the first arm 11341 by a transmission (e.g., chain, gear, lead screw, etc.) that provides power to slide the first arm 11341 lengthwise over the lifting frame 1133 when commanded by the control system. For example, a motor rotates a lead screw, and a nut on the lead screw is connected to the first arm 11341, thereby pushing the first arm 11341 to move on the lifting frame 1133.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the fork 1134 extends from one side of the AGV cart, specifically the left or right side of the AGV cart. The fork 1134 extends from one side (e.g., the left-right direction) of the AGV cart and is perpendicular to the front-back direction of the cart as a whole, which allows for full use of the lateral space. In some narrow aisle or warehouse layouts, the AGV cart may need to operate in a limited space. The fork 1134 extending in the front-rear direction can more conveniently approach materials and perform the fork operation without affecting the front-rear running of the trolley, so that the space utilization rate is improved.

The particular extension of the yoke 1134, in conjunction with other portions of the material handling system 11, optimizes the handling process. The AGV trolley can be stopped beside the buffer frame more quickly at the feeding station 111 and the discharging station 112, and the fork frame 1134 stretches out to carry out the fork taking and placing operation of materials, so that unnecessary movement and adjustment time are reduced, and the efficiency of the whole material transfer system 11 is improved.

The embodiment of the application also provides a material processing production line 1, which comprises a plurality of processing devices 12 and the material transfer system 11, wherein the plurality of processing devices 12 are arranged on one side of the material transfer system 11.

The material processing production line 1 according to the embodiment of the present application includes the material transfer system 11 in any embodiment, so that the material transfer system 11 in any embodiment has the beneficial effects described above and will not be described herein.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the application is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the application.
