Background

In the prior art, a guide rail of a transportation tray is of a planar double-rail structure or a non-closed-loop type single-rail structure. The plane type double tracks are plane laying tracks, and can realize closed-loop type circular conveying of the tray. However, the planar double rail has a disadvantage of large lateral footprint. And the non-closed loop type monorail is only used for conveying and is not recycled, so that automatic circulating conveying cannot be realized. If the tray is recycled to form a circulating closed loop, other equipment is required to be added for assistance, so that the efficiency is low and the cost is high. Meanwhile, the guide rail is arranged beside the winding machine, so that the occupied space is large. During the operation, workers need to maintain problems occurring during the operation of the winder, such as splicing broken yarns. Because the guide rail occupies a large space, the operation workers cannot maintain the guide rail.

Detailed Description

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, a rail unit 1 for transporting pallets in the textile field of an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper rail 101 and a lower rail 102. The upper rail 101 is located above the lower rail 102.

In the prior art, the guide rails of the transportation pallet are generally planar double rails to realize the circular transportation pallet. The plane double guide rails occupy larger space and are not beneficial to the maintenance of equipment. The guide rail unit 1 of the present embodiment is a three-dimensional rail that is vertically arranged. The tray is transported in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102. For example, the tray moves on the upper rail 101, and after the full bobbin positioned on the tray is gripped, the tray becomes an empty tray. The empty trays move from the upper track 101 into the lower track 102, are moved in the lower track 102 by the transport device, enter the loading zone and are then inserted with full bobbins. Meanwhile, the vertical rails arranged up and down are adopted, so that the occupied space is small, and an operator can maintain the equipment, thereby ensuring the smooth development of the working process.

In the above embodiment, the guide rail unit is of an upper layer and a lower layer, the upper layer guide rail is used for conveying the tray, and the lower layer guide rail is used for recovering the tray. The guide rail unit occupies small area and has compact structure. The guide rail unit 1 can be formed by bending and splicing metal plates and can also be manufactured by utilizing a die. The upper track 101 and the lower track 102 are separately set up in double layers or can be spliced.

As a preferable example, as shown in fig. 1 and 7, the upper rail 101 has a C-shaped cross section; the lower rail 102 is C-shaped in cross-section. The tray 4 comprises a base and a strut fixedly connected to the base. The full bobbin is inserted on the supporting rod. When the tray 4 moves in the upper rail 101, in order to prevent the tray 4 from falling off from the upper rail 101 during the movement, the upper rail 101 used in this embodiment has a C-shaped cross section. The top of the upper rail 101 is provided with an opening. The top opening is such that the legs of the tray 4 can pass out of the upper track 101. Preferably, the top of the upper rail 101 is provided with two opposite upper flanges 1011, and a gap is formed between the two upper flanges 1011. The gap is the top opening. The upper flange 1011 can limit the upper end surface of the base of the tray 4 and limit the tray 4 from moving upwards. In order to efficiently convey the tray 4 while the tray 4 moves in the lower rail 102, the lower rail 102 is adopted in the present embodiment to have a C-shaped cross section. The bottom of the lower rail 102 is provided with an opening. The bottom opening is such that the legs of the tray 4 can pass out of the lower track 102. Preferably, the bottom of the lower rail 102 is provided with two opposite lower flanges 1021, and a gap is formed between the two lower flanges 1021. The gap is open at the bottom. When the tray is positioned in the lower track 102, the tray 4 legs extend out of the opening of the lower track 102. That is, when the tray 4 is positioned in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102, the direction of the tray 4 is not the same. In the upper rail 101, the struts of the tray 4 are located above the base. In the lower track 102, the struts of the tray 4 are located below the base.

In the above embodiment, preferably, the lower limb 1021 is L-shaped in cross-section, and the lower limb 1021 is fixedly connected to the lower rail 102. Of course, the lower flange 1021 may be straight in cross-section. The lower limb 1021 is L-shaped in cross-section so that the conveyor 2 is within the lower track 102 and does not fall off the lower track 102. In this way, the operation of the conveyor 2 is more stable.

Preferably, the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102 are of a unitary structure. The guide rail unit that the integration was made, the structure is more firm.

As a preferred example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the guide rail unit further includes a conveying device 2 and a turning device 3. The rotating device 3 is arranged on the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102, the conveying device 2 is connected with the rotating device 3, and the rotating device 3 drives the conveying device 2 to rotate. The conveying device 2 is used for conveying the tray 4. The conveyor 2 may be a conveyor belt or another device capable of conveying the trays 4. Preferably, in the upper rail 101, the bottom surface of the base of the tray 4 is in contact with the conveyor 2. In the lower rail 102, the upper end surface of the base of the tray 4 is in contact with the conveyor 2. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conveyor 2 and the base of the tray 4 are in contact with each other at their sides, and may also move the tray 4. The rotating device 3 is used for installing and driving the conveying device 2 to rotate and also used for realizing the movement of the tray in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102. Since the base of the tray 4 is positioned in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102, the turning device 3 is provided in order to change the direction of the tray 4 between the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the swiveling device 3 includes a swiveling unit 301, the swiveling unit 301 includes a swivel 3011, the swivel 3011 is obliquely arranged, and the swivel 3011 is obliquely inclined outward from top to bottom. The outward inclination means an inclination toward a direction deviating from the guide rail. In use, the slewing device 3 is mounted between the upper track 101 and the lower track 102.

The tray 4 moves with the conveyor 2 in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102. The turntable 3011 allows the tray 4 to move smoothly even after being turned (when the tray moves from the upper rail 101 to the lower rail 102 or moves from the lower rail 102 to the upper rail 101). When the tray 4 moves in the upper rail 101, the struts of the tray 4 are located above the base. When the tray 4 moves in the lower rail 102, the struts of the tray 4 are located below the base. The turntable 3011 is laid obliquely, and the turntable 3011 is inclined outward from top to bottom. The distance between the upper end of the rotary table 3011 and the guide rail is smaller than the distance between the lower end of the rotary table 3011 and the guide rail. The distance between the lower end of the turntable 3011 and the guide rail is large, providing a space for changing the positional relationship between the tray 4 and the conveyor 2, so that the tray 4 can move smoothly in both the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102.

Preferably, the rotating device 3 further includes a power source 302, and the power source 302 is connected to the rotating disc 3011 to rotate the rotating disc 3011. The power source 302 may be a direct power device or an indirect power device. The direct power device is a device for directly providing power to the rotary table 3011, such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor, and the like. The indirect power device is connected with the rotary table 3011 of the embodiment through a transmission device by means of other power sources on the device, so as to realize the rotation of the rotary table 3011. Whether direct or indirect, it is sufficient to provide power to rotate the rotary table 3011.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the rotating unit 301 further includes a guide 3012, and the guide 3012 is connected to a guide rail or a rotating device for guiding the conveying device 2. Only two guide pieces 3012 are illustrated in fig. 4, and the other guide pieces 3012 are omitted. The turntable 3011 is laid obliquely, and the turntable 3011 is inclined outward from top to bottom. The lower end of the turntable 3011 is offset from the rail. The conveyor 2 at the lower end of the turntable 3011 is also offset from the track. Therefore, a guide 3012 is provided to return the conveying device located at the lower end of the turntable 3011 into the lower rail 102, so that the conveying device located in the lower rail 102 can carry out the conveyance of the tray 4.

The guide 3012 has various structures, and in the preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the guide 3012 includes a base 30121 and rollers 30122 disposed on the base 30121. In use, the conveyor 2 passes from the bottom of the turntable 3011 around the rollers 30122 and into the lower track 102. Since the conveying device 2 and the roller 30122 roll friction, the frictional resistance is reduced. More preferably, at least two rollers 30122 are provided, and a conveying channel 30123 is formed between the rollers 30122; the conveying passage 30123 has one end opposite to the bottom of the rotary table 3011 and the other end opposite to the lower rail 102. In this preferred configuration, the conveyor belt enters the conveyor channel 30123 from the lower end of the turntable 3011, travels in the conveyor channel 30123, and then enters the lower track 102. The entry of the conveyor belt from the lower end of the turntable 3011 into the lower track 102 is achieved by the guide 3012. The tray 4 is located in the lower rail 102. In this way, the conveyor belt can effect the transport of the trays 4. Meanwhile, in the preferred embodiment, the conveyor belt contacts the rollers 30122 while traveling in the conveyance path 30123. The conveyer belt and the rollers 30122 roll and rub to reduce the friction force during the movement.

Preferably, the number of the turning units 301 is four, and the four turning units 301 are located at two ends of the guide rail. Four rotary units are arranged at two ends of two sides of the guide rail. The conveyor belt is sleeved on two rotary units 301 positioned on the same side of the guide rail. The conveying device 2 is composed of two conveying belts, and each conveying belt is sleeved on two turntables positioned on the same side of the guide rail unit. The two conveyor belts convey the tray. Preferably, two rotating discs which are opposite to each other and located on two sides of the track 2 in the four rotating units are arranged in a splayed shape.

As a preferable example, in the four rotating units 301, the rotating shafts of two rotating discs 3011 located on two opposite sides of the track are connected to realize synchronous rotation. The rotating shafts of the two rotating discs 3011 are connected by a shaft coupling, a flexible shaft or a bevel gear. This eliminates the need for multiple power sources. When the rotating shafts of the two rotating discs 3011 are connected, as long as one of the rotating discs 3011 rotates, the other rotating disc 3011 also rotates synchronously. In the four rotary tables 3011 of this embodiment, if one rotary table 3011 is connected to a power source, the other rotary tables 3011 are connected to each other via a conveyor belt or a rotary shaft and rotate together with the conveyor belt or the rotary shaft. This simplifies the equipment and improves the synchronization.

In the guide rails of the above embodiments, preferably, in use, when the tray 4 is located in the upper rail 101, the bottom surface (e.g., surface B in fig. 6) of the base of the tray 4 is located above the conveying device 2; when the tray 4 is positioned in the lower rail 102, an upper end surface (a surface in fig. 6) of a base of the tray 4 is positioned above the conveyor 2.

In the upper rail 101, the conveying device 2 is positioned at the bottoms of two sides of the upper rail 101, the tray 4 is pressed above the conveying device 2 under the action of gravity and is driven by friction force to move, and meanwhile, the side surface of the tray 4 and the upper part of the base are restrained by the end surface of the upper rail 101, so that the degree of freedom of the tray is limited, and the tray can only move along the direction of the conveying device 2. The lower rail 102 is used for recovering the tray. In the lower rail 102, the conveying device 2 falls into the groove of the lower rail 102, the conveying device 2 is higher than the depth of the groove, the tray 4 is in an inverted state and is pressed above the conveying device 2 under the action of gravity, the side surface of the tray 4 and the bottom surface of the base are both restrained by the end surfaces of the guide rails, the freedom degree of the tray is limited, and the tray can only move along the direction of the conveying device 2.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides a guide rail for transporting a pallet, which includes at least two guide rail units 1 of the above-mentioned embodiments or preferred embodiments. The upper rails 101 in adjacent guide rail units are opposite, and the lower rails 102 in adjacent guide rail units are opposite; the adjacent guide rail units 1 are connected or oppositely arranged.

In this embodiment, the guide rail is composed of a guide rail unit. A plurality of rail units may be provided as required. The guide rail units are sequentially arranged in a straight line shape. The upper rails 101 between the rail units 1 are opposed, and the lower rails 102 between the units are opposed. The guide rail is also in a three-dimensional structure and is divided into an upper layer and a lower layer. The tray moves in the upper rail 101 and the lower rail 102.
