Description
本發明係關於一種磁力懸浮傳送系統，更具體而言，係關於一種下述之磁力懸浮傳送系統：其在傳送物體時採用磁力懸浮技術作為非接觸型技術其中之一，從而解决摩擦及磨損而損壞組件、造成噪聲之問題以及產生微粒之問題，並且在以高速傳送物體之同時穩定且安全地供電。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a magnetic suspension transport system, and more particularly to a magnetic suspension transport system that uses magnetic suspension technology as one of non-contact techniques in transferring objects to solve friction and wear. Damage to components, problems with noise, and problems with particle generation, and stable and safe power supply while transmitting objects at high speed.
傳送系統是一種用於傳送物體之裝置。此處，物體可不僅包括用於液晶顯示器(liquid crystal display；LCD)、等離子體顯示面板(plasma display panel；PDP)、有機發光二極管(organic light emitting diode；OLED)等之基板、用於半導體器件之晶片、用於容置和支撑基板或晶片之托盤、傳送盒或載具，而且還包括各種對象，例如常用之盒子。以下，將以傳送盒作為物體進行說明。A conveyor system is a device for transporting objects. Here, the object may include not only a substrate for a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), but also a semiconductor device. Wafers, trays, transport boxes or carriers for accommodating and supporting substrates or wafers, but also various objects such as conventional boxes. Hereinafter, the transfer case will be described as an object.
用於傳送盒之傳送系統分為接觸型傳送系統及非接觸型傳送系統。The transport system for the transport cassette is divided into a contact type transport system and a non-contact type transport system.
接觸型傳送系統又分為傳送機型傳送系統、滾筒型傳送系統、軌道型傳送系統等。這種接觸型傳送系統可能會在傳送過程中在結構上產生許多微粒。因此，例如，如果使用接觸型傳送系統來傳送裝載有LCD基板之傳送盒，則基板及淨化室可能會被微粒污染。The contact type conveying system is further classified into a conveyor type conveying system, a drum type conveying system, a rail type conveying system, and the like. This contact type conveyor system may generate many particles on the structure during transport. Therefore, for example, if a contact type transport system is used to transport a transport cassette loaded with an LCD substrate, the substrate and the clean room may be contaminated by particles.
此外，接觸型傳送系統會在傳送結構或輸電結構的接觸部件中產生磨損或摩擦，因此存在組件頻繁地損壞、造成可怕的噪聲、以及無法以高於預定水平的速度進行傳送等問題。In addition, contact type conveyor systems can cause wear or friction in the contact members of the transfer structure or the power transmission structure, and thus there are problems such as frequent damage of the components, terrible noise, and inability to transmit at a speed higher than a predetermined level.
相反，非接觸型傳送系統具有以下優點：其解决了由於摩擦及磨損而損壞組件的問題及造成噪聲的問題並解决了產生微粒的問題，並且可以高速傳送物體。因此，近來，人們一直在積極地研究非接觸型傳送系統。On the contrary, the non-contact type conveying system has the advantages of solving the problem of damage to the component due to friction and wear and the problem of causing noise and solving the problem of generating particles, and the object can be conveyed at a high speed. Therefore, recently, people have been actively studying non-contact type conveying systems.
作為非接觸型傳送系統，可考慮磁力懸浮傳送系統。磁力懸浮技術是基於磁體(電磁體)的吸引及排斥。當前，已知一種應用磁力懸浮技術的磁懸浮列車。然而，磁懸浮列車的商業啟動一直因各種問題而被推遲。As a non-contact type conveying system, a magnetic suspension conveying system can be considered. Magnetic suspension technology is based on the attraction and repulsion of magnets (electromagnets). Currently, a magnetic levitation train using magnetic suspension technology is known. However, the commercial launch of maglev trains has been delayed due to various problems.
這樣，磁力懸浮技術僅僅應用於載人的磁懸浮列車，而尚未應用於用於裝載和傳送物體(例如傳送盒)的傳送系統。因此，為將磁力懸浮技術應用到用於裝載和傳送物體(例如傳送盒)的傳送系統，需要在許多方面開發不同於磁懸浮列車技術的新技術。Thus, the magnetic levitation technique is only applied to manned maglev trains, but has not been applied to transport systems for loading and transporting objects such as transport boxes. Therefore, in order to apply magnetic levitation technology to a transport system for loading and transporting objects (e.g., transport boxes), new techniques other than maglev train technology need to be developed in many respects.
儘管須在許多方面開發新技術，然而新技術的開發非常重要，因為在開發磁力懸浮傳送系統時，預期應解决由於摩擦及磨損而損壞組件的問題、造成噪聲的問題以及在傳送各種物體(例如傳送盒)時產生微粒的問題，並且預期應可高速地傳送物體。Despite the need to develop new technologies in many respects, the development of new technologies is very important because when developing magnetic suspension conveyor systems, it is expected that problems with damage to components due to friction and wear, problems causing noise, and transmission of various objects should be addressed (eg The problem of particles is generated when the cassette is transported, and it is expected that the object should be transported at high speed.
同時，為開發磁力懸浮傳送系統來傳送例如裝載有LCD基板的傳送盒等物體，需要進行如下的技術開發。Meanwhile, in order to develop a magnetic suspension transport system for transporting an object such as a transport cassette loaded with an LCD substrate, the following technical development is required.
第一，需要進行技術開發以穩定且安全地供電。First, technological development is required to supply power stably and safely.
第二，由於與磁懸浮列車的軌道相反，傳送系統的軌道可能具有相對非常小的曲率半徑，因而需要進行技術開發以使裝載有物體並沿軌道路線傳送的主體傳送單元能在軌道的彎曲段以及直段中平穩地傳送。Second, since the orbit of the conveyor system may have a relatively very small radius of curvature as opposed to the orbit of the maglev train, technical development is required to enable the body transport unit loaded with the object and transported along the track path to be in the curved section of the track and Smoothly transmitted in straight sections.
第三，由於如果直接受到由懸浮單元或推進單元產生的震動或噪聲，裝載於裝載單元上的物體可能會被損壞，因而需要進行技術開發來防止在懸浮單元或推進單元中所產生的震動或噪聲傳遞至裝載有物體的裝載單元。Third, since objects loaded on the loading unit may be damaged if subjected to vibration or noise directly generated by the suspension unit or the propulsion unit, technical development is required to prevent vibrations generated in the suspension unit or the propulsion unit or The noise is transmitted to the loading unit loaded with the object.
第四，沿軌道路線傳送的主體傳送單元須具有能長期地有效保持穩定結構的剛性結構，因而需要進行與此相關的技術開發。Fourth, the main body transfer unit transported along the track route must have a rigid structure capable of effectively maintaining a stable structure for a long period of time, and thus development of technology related thereto is required.
第五，確信，如果沿軌道路線傳送的主體傳送單元的軌道能平穩地分出支路，則可更加提高傳送效率，因此需要進行與此相關的技術開發。Fifthly, it is believed that if the track of the main body transport unit transported along the track route can smoothly separate the branch, the transmission efficiency can be further improved, and thus technical development related thereto is required.

如圖所示，磁力懸浮傳送系統包括：裝載單元110，其中裝載有物體；主體傳送單元120，裝載單元110在一側耦合至該主體傳送單元120；軌道101，形成用於傳送主體傳送單元120的路綫；懸浮單元140，與主體傳送單元120相連接並使主體傳送單元120相對於軌道101懸浮至預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)；推進單元150，與主體傳送單元120相連接並提供推進力，使得可沿軌道101的路綫傳送由懸浮單元140懸浮的主體傳送單元120；以及非接觸型電源160，以非接觸方式接收電力並向懸浮單元140及推進單元150供應該電力。As shown, the magnetic suspension transport system includes a loading unit 110 in which an object is loaded, a main body transport unit 120 coupled to the main transport unit 120 on one side, and a track 101 formed to transport the main transport unit 120. The levitation unit 140 is connected to the main body transfer unit 120 and suspends the main body transfer unit 120 with respect to the track 101 to a preset height H (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12); the propulsion unit 150 and the main body transfer unit 120 Connecting and providing a propulsive force such that the main body transfer unit 120 suspended by the suspension unit 140 can be transported along the route of the track 101; and the non-contact type power supply 160 receiving power in a non-contact manner and supplying the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 electric power.
在依序說明這些元件之前，首先將對軌道101進行說明。軌道101形成用於傳送主體傳送單元120的路綫，裝載單元110在一側耦合至該主體傳送單元120。如果將軌道101視為通常的火車軌道，則可更容易理解。Before describing these components in sequence, the track 101 will first be described. The track 101 forms a route for transporting the body transfer unit 120 to which the loading unit 110 is coupled. If the track 101 is considered to be a normal train track, it can be more easily understood.
在本實例性實施例中，以閉合回路的形式提供軌道101，使得主體傳送單元120可在以第2圖的逆時針方向沿軌道101回轉的同時傳送一傳送盒。然而，與附圖所示相反，也可以直綫形式提供軌道101。在此種情形中，主體傳送單元120可在直綫軌道上往復運動的同時傳送該傳送盒。In the present exemplary embodiment, the track 101 is provided in the form of a closed loop such that the body transfer unit 120 can transfer a transfer cassette while rotating in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. 2 along the track 101. However, contrary to the drawings, the track 101 can also be provided in a straight line. In this case, the main body transport unit 120 can transport the transport cassette while reciprocating on a linear track.
軌道101是由導體中具有高强度及耐腐蝕性的不銹鋼、非導體中的鋁(Al)、以及某些其它金屬的適當組合和排列製造而成的。換句話說，軌道101須與懸浮單元140及推進單元150相互作用以懸浮或推動(即驅動)主體傳送單元120，軌道101需要具有上述材料特徵。僅當軌道101具有上述材料特徵時，電場或磁場才可懸浮和推動主體傳送單元120。軌道101由多個軌道支撑脚103進行支撑。The track 101 is fabricated from a suitable combination and arrangement of stainless steel having high strength and corrosion resistance in the conductor, aluminum (Al) in the non-conductor, and some other metals. In other words, the track 101 must interact with the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 to suspend or push (ie, drive) the body transfer unit 120, which is required to have the material characteristics described above. The electric field or magnetic field can suspend and push the main body transfer unit 120 only when the track 101 has the above-described material characteristics. The track 101 is supported by a plurality of rail support legs 103.
裝載單元110是欲裝載物體的元件，如第3圖至第5圖所示。在本實例性實施例中，物體是指裝載有液晶顯示器(liquid crystal display；LCD)基板的傳送盒，但並不僅限於此。作為另外一種選擇，物體可不僅包括用於LCD、等離子體顯示面板(plasma display panel；PDP)、有機發光二極管(organic light emitting diode；OLED)等的基板、用於半導體器件的晶片、用於容置和支撑基板或晶片的托盤、傳送盒或載具，而且還包括各種對象，例如常用的盒子、電氣用品等。The loading unit 110 is an element to be loaded with an object as shown in Figs. 3 to 5. In the present exemplary embodiment, the object refers to a transport case loaded with a liquid crystal display (LCD) substrate, but is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the object may include not only a substrate for an LCD, a plasma display panel (PDP), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), or the like, a wafer for a semiconductor device, or a capacitor. A tray, a transfer case or a carrier that supports and supports a substrate or a wafer, and also includes various objects such as a commonly used case, an electric appliance, and the like.
欲裝載作為物體的傳送盒的裝載單元110包括：外部封蓋112，形成有其中裝載有傳送盒的裝載部111，並用於局部地覆蓋主體傳送單元120；以及保護網罩113，耦合至外部封蓋112的底部，並用於局部地保護主體傳送單元120的下部結構。The loading unit 110 to be loaded as a transport cassette of an object includes: an outer cover 112 formed with a loading portion 111 in which the transport cassette is loaded, and for partially covering the main body transfer unit 120; and a protective net cover 113 coupled to the outer cover The bottom of the cover 112 is used to partially protect the lower structure of the main body transfer unit 120.
外部封蓋112包括固定封蓋部件112a以及可移動封蓋部件112c，可移動封蓋部件112c通過鉸鏈112b耦合至固定封蓋部件112a並通過相對於固定封蓋部件112a圍繞鉸鏈112b旋轉而打開及關閉。因此，必要時，可移動封蓋部件112c可通過相對於固定封蓋部件112a圍繞鉸鏈112b旋轉而打開，以便可維修和更換其內部元件。此外，監測器114耦合至外部封蓋112的外側，並且狹槽115形成於外部封蓋112的外側上。The outer cover 112 includes a fixed cover member 112a and a movable cover member 112c that is coupled to the fixed cover member 112a by a hinge 112b and opened by rotation about the hinge 112b relative to the fixed cover member 112a. shut down. Thus, if necessary, the movable closure member 112c can be opened by rotation about the hinge 112b relative to the fixed closure member 112a so that its internal components can be repaired and replaced. Further, the monitor 114 is coupled to the outside of the outer cover 112, and the slot 115 is formed on the outer side of the outer cover 112.
在本實例性實施例中，外部封蓋112在相對的側上沿向上的方向上升，使中間裝載部111位於相對側之間。此是用於在傳送裝載於裝載部111中的傳送盒時防止傳送盒從裝載部111掉落的其中一種方式。因此，無需將設置有裝載部111及外部封蓋112的裝載單元110的形狀限制成附圖所示。例如，裝載單元110可根據需要而具有簡單的方塊結構，並且在此種情形中，傳送盒是放置在具有方塊結構的裝載單元110的頂部上。In the present exemplary embodiment, the outer cover 112 rises in the upward direction on the opposite sides such that the intermediate loading portion 111 is located between the opposite sides. This is one of the ways for preventing the transport cassette from falling from the loading portion 111 when transporting the transport cassette loaded in the loading portion 111. Therefore, it is not necessary to limit the shape of the loading unit 110 provided with the loading portion 111 and the outer cover 112 to the drawings. For example, the loading unit 110 can have a simple block structure as needed, and in this case, the transfer case is placed on top of the loading unit 110 having a block structure.
參照第5圖，裝載部111包括沿垂直方向相互間隔開且平行排列的裝載上板111a與裝載下板111b。裝載上板111a與裝載下板111b通過板耦合件111c連接。Referring to Fig. 5, the loading portion 111 includes a loading upper plate 111a and a loading lower plate 111b which are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction and arranged in parallel. The loading upper plate 111a and the loading lower plate 111b are connected by a plate coupling 111c.
如第3圖所示，保護網罩113延伸至軌道101的橫向側，並用以局部地保護放置在其中的下部結構。可有各種結構放置在保護網罩113的下方。尤其是，由於將非接觸型電源160設置在保護網罩113的下方，因而保護網罩113還用以保護非接觸型電源160。保護網罩113包括朝軌道101彎曲的下端，並在其表面上形成有多個貫穿孔113a。當然，保護網罩113不是必不可少的元件，而是可選元件。As shown in Fig. 3, the protective mesh cover 113 extends to the lateral side of the rail 101 and serves to partially protect the lower structure placed therein. Various structures may be placed under the protective mesh cover 113. In particular, since the non-contact type power supply 160 is disposed under the protective net cover 113, the protective net cover 113 is also used to protect the non-contact type power supply 160. The protective net cover 113 includes a lower end bent toward the rail 101, and a plurality of through holes 113a are formed on the surface thereof. Of course, the protective mesh cover 113 is not an indispensable component but an optional component.
耦合至裝載單元110的主體傳送單元120在軌道101上方實質懸浮至預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)，然後沿軌道101的路綫推進(即行進)。下文所要說明的大多數組件或元件均耦合至主體傳送單元120。因此，主體傳送單元120須具有優异的結構强度，這可通過其結構特徵來實現。The main body transfer unit 120 coupled to the loading unit 110 is substantially suspended above the track 101 to a preset height H (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12), and then advanced (ie, traveled) along the route of the track 101. Most of the components or elements to be described below are coupled to the body transfer unit 120. Therefore, the main body transfer unit 120 has to have excellent structural strength, which can be achieved by its structural features.
參照第4圖至第10b圖，主體傳送單元120包括：一對相互間隔開排列的第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122；第一軸121a及第二軸122a，分別耦合至第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122並形成第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的旋轉軸；以及耦合部件123，耦合第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122，以使第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122可相對轉動。Referring to FIGS. 4 to 10b, the main body transfer unit 120 includes a pair of first basic transfer units 121 and second basic transfer units 122 that are spaced apart from each other; a first axis 121a and a second axis 122a are coupled to the first a basic transfer unit 121 and a second basic transfer unit 122 and forming a rotation axis of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122; and a coupling member 123 coupling the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 So that the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 are relatively rotatable.
參照第2圖，主體傳送單元120可在軌道101的彎曲段以及直段中行進。如果主體傳送單元120僅在軌道101的直段中行進，則不需將主體傳送單元120設置為第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的形式。Referring to FIG. 2, the body transfer unit 120 can travel in the curved section of the track 101 as well as in the straight section. If the body transfer unit 120 travels only in the straight section of the track 101, it is not necessary to set the body transfer unit 120 in the form of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122.
另一方面，如果即時主體傳送單元120須在軌道101的彎曲段中行進也仍以單一本體來實現主體傳送單元120，則可能對在彎曲段中行進具有些許限制。為了能够在彎曲段中平穩地行進，將主體傳送單元120設置為第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的形式。On the other hand, if the instant body transfer unit 120 has to travel in the curved section of the track 101 and still implements the body transfer unit 120 in a single body, there may be some restrictions on the travel in the curved section. In order to be able to smoothly travel in the curved section, the main body transfer unit 120 is provided in the form of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122.
此時，第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122由於不須分離而通過耦合部件123耦合。At this time, the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 are coupled by the coupling member 123 because they do not have to be separated.
換句話說，由於與磁懸浮列車的軌道不同，根據本實例性實施例的傳送系統中的軌道101可具有相對非常小的曲率半徑(參照第2圖)，因而將裝載有傳送盒並沿軌道101的路綫傳送的主體傳送單元120設置為第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122以在軌道101的彎曲段以及直段中平穩地傳送，並且第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122通過耦合部件123相耦合。In other words, the track 101 in the transport system according to the present exemplary embodiment may have a relatively very small radius of curvature (refer to FIG. 2) due to the difference from the track of the maglev train, and thus will be loaded with the transport box and along the track 101. The body transfer unit 120 that is routed is disposed as the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 to smoothly transfer in the curved section and the straight section of the track 101, and the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer Unit 122 is coupled by coupling component 123.
在本實例性實施例中，耦合部件123是通過第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b來實現，第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b的接觸面為有齒的。通過此種結構，主體傳送單元120可在軌道101的彎曲段以及直段中平穩地傳送。In the present exemplary embodiment, the coupling member 123 is realized by the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b, and the contact faces of the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b are toothed. With this configuration, the main body conveying unit 120 can be smoothly conveyed in the curved section and the straight section of the rail 101.
第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b的無齒表面分別扣緊到第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部，而有齒表面則相互嚙合。此時，有齒表面的形狀類似於弧形，使得第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122可相對於彼此平穩地轉動。The toothless surfaces of the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b are respectively fastened to the tops of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, and the toothed surfaces are engaged with each other. At this time, the shape of the toothed surface is similar to the arc shape, so that the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 can be smoothly rotated with respect to each other.
當然，耦合部件123的結構只是實例性實施例，並且本發明的範圍並不僅限於此。作為另外一種選擇，耦合部件123可通過以銷型或鏈型代替齒輪型來實現。Of course, the structure of the coupling member 123 is merely an exemplary embodiment, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the coupling member 123 can be realized by replacing the gear type with a pin type or a chain type.
同時，當第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122在借助第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b而相對旋轉的同時在軌道101的彎曲段中行進、並接著再次進入直段時，相對旋轉的第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122須返回至其初始狀態。為此，主體傳送單元120包括彈性構件124。Meanwhile, when the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 travel in the curved section of the track 101 while being relatively rotated by the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b, and then enter the straight section again The first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 that are relatively rotated must return to their initial state. To this end, the body transfer unit 120 includes an elastic member 124.
換句話說，當第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122通過第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b而相對地轉動以在彎曲段中行進時，彈性構件124會彈性地推動第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122以使其返回至初始狀態。在本實例性實施例中，將彈性構件124設置為拉伸螺旋彈簧124，拉伸螺旋彈簧124的兩端耦合至第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122。參照第10a圖及第10b圖，相對於第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b，僅在第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部上的一側提供拉伸螺旋彈簧124。這是因為主體傳送單元的行進路綫僅限於第2圖的逆時針方向。In other words, when the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 are relatively rotated by the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b to travel in the curved section, the elastic member 124 elastically pushes the first A basic transfer unit 121 and a second basic transfer unit 122 are returned to the initial state. In the present exemplary embodiment, the elastic member 124 is provided as a tension coil spring 124, and both ends of the tension coil spring 124 are coupled to the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122. Referring to FIGS. 10a and 10b, the tension coil spring 124 is provided only on one side of the top of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 with respect to the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b. . This is because the travel route of the main body transport unit is limited to the counterclockwise direction of FIG.
因此，如果主體傳送單元120的傳送路綫除逆時針方向外還涉及順時針方向，則可相對於第一耦合齒輪123a及第二耦合齒輪123b，在第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部上的兩側對稱地提供拉伸螺旋彈簧124(參照顯示替代實例性實施例的第14圖)。Therefore, if the transmission path of the main body transfer unit 120 involves a clockwise direction in addition to the counterclockwise direction, the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit are available with respect to the first coupling gear 123a and the second coupling gear 123b. A tension coil spring 124 is symmetrically provided on both sides on the top of 122 (refer to Fig. 14 showing an alternative exemplary embodiment).
構成主體傳送單元120的所述一對第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122具有相同的結構。換句話說，第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122中的每一者均包括：單元上板120a，耦合部件123耦合至單元上板120a；單元側板120b，在單元上板120a的橫交方向上在單元上板120a的橫向側處耦合至單元上板120a；以及單元下板120c，在與單元上板120a平行的方向上在單元側板120b的一端耦合至單元側板120b，其中單元上板120a、單元側板120b以及單元下板120c相互焊接在一起。The pair of first basic transfer unit 121 and second basic transfer unit 122 constituting the main body transfer unit 120 have the same structure. In other words, each of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 includes: a unit upper plate 120a, the coupling member 123 is coupled to the unit upper plate 120a; the unit side plate 120b is on the unit upper plate 120a Coupling to the unit upper plate 120a at the lateral side of the unit upper plate 120a in the transverse direction; and the unit lower plate 120c coupled to the unit side plate 120b at one end of the unit side plate 120b in a direction parallel to the unit upper plate 120a, wherein the unit The upper plate 120a, the unit side plate 120b, and the unit lower plate 120c are welded to each other.
因此，第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122中的每一者均具有近似矩形的盒形狀，以使其可具有優异的結構强度。因此，可長期地使用主體傳送單元120而不會發生變形。Therefore, each of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 has an approximately rectangular box shape so that it can have excellent structural strength. Therefore, the main body transfer unit 120 can be used for a long period of time without deformation.
同時，主體傳送單元120包括：單元頂板130，在水平方向上耦合至主體傳送單元120的頂部區域以覆蓋第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部，並用於加强主體傳送單元120；以及單元底板131，位於單元頂板130下方，與第一軸121a及第二軸122a相耦合，並安裝有推進單元150。Meanwhile, the main body transfer unit 120 includes a unit top plate 130 coupled to the top area of the main body transfer unit 120 in the horizontal direction to cover the tops of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, and for reinforcing the main transfer unit 120 And the unit bottom plate 131 is located below the unit top plate 130, coupled to the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a, and is provided with the propulsion unit 150.
單元頂板130在水平方向上設置於主體傳送單元120的頂部區域中，並與第一軸121a及第二軸122a相耦合。為此，如第4圖所示，單元頂板130形成有軸耦合孔130c，第一軸121a及第二軸122a局部地穿過並耦合軸耦合孔130c。可提供多個軸耦合孔130c，以對應於第一軸121a與第二軸122a之間的距離。The unit top plate 130 is disposed in the top region of the main body transfer unit 120 in the horizontal direction, and is coupled to the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a. To this end, as shown in Fig. 4, the unit top plate 130 is formed with a shaft coupling hole 130c, and the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a partially pass through and couple the shaft coupling hole 130c. A plurality of shaft coupling holes 130c may be provided to correspond to a distance between the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a.
單元頂板130的尺寸類似於或稍大於第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部尺寸。在此種情形中，可類似於本實例性實施例而將單元頂板130設置為同時覆蓋第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的頂部的單一板，或可將單元頂板130設置為分別對應於第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的分開的板。The size of the unit top plate 130 is similar to or slightly larger than the top dimensions of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122. In this case, the unit top plate 130 may be disposed to cover a single plate of the top of the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122 simultaneously, similarly to the present exemplary embodiment, or the unit top plate 130 may be set to Separate boards corresponding to the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, respectively.
單元底板131是安裝推進單元150的位置。單元底板131設置於單元頂板130的下方，並與單元頂板130一起耦合至第一軸121a與第二軸122a。可將單元底板131設置為單一共享單元底板、或設置為分別耦合至第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的單獨單元底板。The unit bottom plate 131 is a position at which the propulsion unit 150 is mounted. The unit bottom plate 131 is disposed below the unit top plate 130 and coupled to the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a together with the unit top plate 130. The unit backplane 131 may be provided as a single shared unit backplane, or as a separate unit backplane that is coupled to the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, respectively.
由於單元頂板130及單元底板131在上側及下側處耦合至第一軸121a與第二軸122a的區域，因而主體傳送單元120可基於單元頂板130及單元底板131的結構而具有有效的剛性結構，從而長期地保持穩定結構。Since the unit top plate 130 and the unit bottom plate 131 are coupled to the regions of the first shaft 121a and the second shaft 122a at the upper side and the lower side, the main body transfer unit 120 can have an effective rigid structure based on the structure of the unit top plate 130 and the unit bottom plate 131. To maintain a stable structure for a long time.
單元頂板130與在垂直方向上排列的一對垂直加强桿132相耦合。作為非接觸型電源160的一個元件，拾取單元162耦合至垂直加强桿132其中一者的一端。The unit top plate 130 is coupled to a pair of vertical reinforcing bars 132 arranged in the vertical direction. As an element of the non-contact type power supply 160, the pickup unit 162 is coupled to one end of one of the vertical reinforcing bars 132.
懸浮單元140連接至主體傳送單元120，並用以使主體傳送單元120在軌道101上懸浮至預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)。The suspension unit 140 is coupled to the main body transfer unit 120 and is configured to suspend the main body transfer unit 120 on the track 101 to a preset height H (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12).
在本實例性實施例中，懸浮單元140可通過多個電磁塊140實現，這些電磁塊140從非接觸型電源160接收電力並與軌道101相互作用，以使主體傳送單元120懸浮至預定高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)。在此種情形中，可將懸浮單元140設置為主體傳送單元120的單元下板120c中的電磁塊140(參照第7圖及第12圖)。In the present exemplary embodiment, the suspension unit 140 may be implemented by a plurality of electromagnetic blocks 140 that receive power from the non-contact power source 160 and interact with the track 101 to suspend the body transfer unit 120 to a predetermined height H. (Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12). In this case, the suspension unit 140 may be provided as the electromagnetic block 140 in the unit lower plate 120c of the main body transfer unit 120 (refer to FIGS. 7 and 12).
如果主體傳送單元120被懸浮單元140懸浮超過預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)，則預期主體傳送單元120可與軌道101碰撞並消耗電力而造成浪費。If the main body transfer unit 120 is suspended by the floating unit 140 beyond the preset height H (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12), it is expected that the main body transfer unit 120 may collide with the track 101 and consume power to cause waste.
因此，調整主體傳送單元120被懸浮單元140懸浮的高度H可能較為重要，因此懸浮單元140還包括間隙傳感器141，以用於根據主體傳送單元120在軌道上101懸浮的預設高度H來感測間隙。例如，間隙傳感器141所感測的間隙可具有對應於主體傳送單元120的懸浮高度H的範圍。Therefore, it may be important to adjust the height H in which the main body transport unit 120 is suspended by the suspension unit 140, so the suspension unit 140 further includes a gap sensor 141 for sensing according to the preset height H in which the main body transport unit 120 is suspended on the track 101. gap. For example, the gap sensed by the gap sensor 141 may have a range corresponding to the levitation height H of the body transfer unit 120.
同時，一種通過軌道101與懸浮單元140之間的相互作用而使主體傳送單元120懸浮的方法可廣義地分為利用排斥力的排斥方法和利用吸引力的吸引方法。Meanwhile, a method of suspending the main body conveying unit 120 by the interaction between the rail 101 and the suspension unit 140 can be broadly classified into a repelling method using a repulsive force and an attracting method using an attractive force.
排斥方法分別向軌道101和懸浮單元140提供相同極性(例如N極和N極或S極和S極)，以使連接至主體傳送單元120的懸浮單元140可相對於軌道101懸浮。吸引方法則通過與排斥方法的結構相反的結構而使主體傳送單元120懸浮。任何吸引方法均是可能的，然而在本實例性實施例中采用電子的排斥。The repulsion method provides the same polarity (for example, N pole and N pole or S pole and S pole) to the track 101 and the suspension unit 140, respectively, so that the suspension unit 140 connected to the body transfer unit 120 can be suspended with respect to the track 101. The attraction method suspends the main body transfer unit 120 by a structure opposite to that of the repelling method. Any attraction method is possible, however the rejection of electrons is employed in the present exemplary embodiment.
推進單元150連接至主體傳送單元120並提供推進力，以使由懸浮單元140懸浮的主體傳送單元120可沿軌道101的路綫傳送。The propulsion unit 150 is coupled to the main body transfer unit 120 and provides a propulsive force such that the main body transfer unit 120 suspended by the suspension unit 140 can be transported along the route of the track 101.
如上所述，在軌道101與懸浮單元140之間的相互作用(即N極與N極之間的排斥)使主體傳送單元120懸浮的狀態中，如果在主體傳送單元120前面的軌道101的磁極變為具有S極，則懸浮的主體傳送單元120便沿軌道101傳送。為應用此種方法，須對整個軌道101應用電磁體，並且需要實質複雜且精確的控制來即刻地改變電磁體的磁極。As described above, in the state where the interaction between the track 101 and the floating unit 140 (i.e., the repulsion between the N pole and the N pole) causes the main body transfer unit 120 to float, if the magnetic pole of the track 101 in front of the main body transfer unit 120 When it becomes an S pole, the suspended main body transfer unit 120 is transported along the track 101. To apply this method, an electromagnet must be applied to the entire track 101 and substantially complex and precise control is required to instantly change the magnetic poles of the electromagnet.
因此，本實例性實施例采用磁力綫性電動機150作為推進單元150來代替上述複雜的控制裝置或結構，磁力綫性電動機150用於使用基於與軌道101的相互作用的電磁力進行綫性驅動。Accordingly, the present exemplary embodiment employs a magnetic linear motor 150 as the propulsion unit 150 instead of the above-described complicated control device or structure for linearly driving using electromagnetic force based on interaction with the track 101.
在使用磁力綫性電動機150作為推進單元150的情形中，當磁力綫性電動機150使用從非接觸型電源160接收到的電力而運行時，磁力綫性電動機150與軌道101之間會產生電場或磁場，並且因此基於與電場或磁場的關係而產生排斥力。因此，不需要複雜結構便可在軌道101上方傳送主體傳送單元120。In the case where the magnetic linear motor 150 is used as the propulsion unit 150, when the magnetic linear motor 150 operates using the electric power received from the non-contact type power supply 160, an electric field is generated between the magnetic linear motor 150 and the rail 101 or The magnetic field, and thus the repulsive force, is based on the relationship with the electric or magnetic field. Therefore, the main body transfer unit 120 can be transported over the rail 101 without requiring a complicated structure.
推進單元150可為布置成在第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122之間共享的獨立單一推進單元150。然而，在本實例性實施例中，推進單元150可包括分別耦合至第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152。The propulsion unit 150 may be a separate single propulsion unit 150 that is arranged to be shared between the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122. However, in the present exemplary embodiment, the propulsion unit 150 may include a first independent propulsion unit 151 and a second independent propulsion unit 152 coupled to the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, respectively.
如果像這樣應用第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152，則其不僅有助於在軌道101上的彎曲段中的行進，而且有利於實現在主體傳送單元120的軌道101中分出支路的可能性(參照第10a圖及第10b圖)。換句話說，如果以與本發明相反的方式提供單一推進單元(圖未示出)，則該單一推進單元的結構難以通過軌道101的分支區域。相反，如果像本實例性實施例一樣分別在第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122中提供第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152，則當第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122到達分支區域中時，通過第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152的開/關控制，在所有情形中均可實現軌道101的分支。If the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152 are applied as such, it not only contributes to the travel in the curved section on the rail 101, but also facilitates the separation in the rail 101 of the main body transport unit 120. The possibility of a branch (see Figures 10a and 10b). In other words, if a single propulsion unit (not shown) is provided in the opposite manner to the present invention, the structure of the single propulsion unit is difficult to pass through the branch area of the track 101. In contrast, if the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152 are provided in the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, respectively, as in the present exemplary embodiment, then the first basic transfer unit 121 and When the second basic transfer unit 122 reaches the branch area, the branch of the track 101 can be realized in all cases by the on/off control of the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152.
換句話說，在即將進入分支區域之前，關閉前面的第一基本傳送單元121的第一獨立推進單元151，以使第一基本傳送單元121可僅在來自後面的第二基本傳送單元122的第二獨立推進單元152的推進力作用下穿過分支區域。接著，在第一基本傳送單元121穿過分支區域並進入新軌道101之後，立即接通第一基本傳送單元121的第一獨立推進單元151並關閉後面的第二基本傳送單元122的第二獨立推進單元152，以使第二基本傳送單元122可僅在來自第一獨立推進單元151的推進力作用下穿過分支區域。通過此種控制，即使軌道101具有極性，也可使軌道101分出支路。In other words, the first independent propulsion unit 151 of the first first basic transfer unit 121 is closed immediately before entering the branch area, so that the first basic transfer unit 121 can only be in the second basic transfer unit 122 from the rear. The propulsion of the two independent propulsion units 152 passes through the branching area. Then, after the first basic transfer unit 121 passes through the branch area and enters the new track 101, the first independent push unit 151 of the first basic transfer unit 121 is turned on immediately and the second independent transfer of the second second transfer unit 122 is closed. The unit 152 is advanced such that the second basic transfer unit 122 can pass through the branching area only by the propulsive force from the first independent propulsion unit 151. By such control, even if the track 101 has a polarity, the track 101 can be branched out of the branch.
此外，隔板155設置於第一獨立推進單元151與第二獨立推進單元152之間並使其相互分離。隔板155不僅用以使第一獨立推進單元151與第二獨立推進單元152相互隔離，而且用以支撑第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152。Further, the partition 155 is disposed between the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152 and is separated from each other. The partition 155 is not only used to isolate the first independent propulsion unit 151 from the second independent propulsion unit 152, but also to support the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152.
同時，主體傳送單元120在鄰近懸浮單元140的位置中還包括多個輪子126a至126c。At the same time, the body transfer unit 120 further includes a plurality of wheels 126a to 126c in a position adjacent to the suspension unit 140.
如第11圖及第12圖所示，所述多個輪子126a至126c包括：多個垂直輪子126a及126b，分別排列在軌道101的上側及下側而使軌道101位於其之間；以及水平輪子126c，沿橫穿垂直輪子126a及126b的方向排列在軌道101的橫向側上。此處，可將垂直輪子126a及126b以及水平輪子126c設置為自由輪子(freewheel)。As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the plurality of wheels 126a to 126c include a plurality of vertical wheels 126a and 126b which are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the rail 101 so that the rail 101 is located therebetween; Wheels 126c are arranged on the lateral sides of the track 101 in a direction transverse to the vertical wheels 126a and 126b. Here, the vertical wheels 126a and 126b and the horizontal wheels 126c may be provided as freewheels.
水平輪子126c用以在主體傳送單元120沿軌道101行進時保持 主體傳送單元120不會左右地搖動。尤其是，當主體傳送單元120在軌道101的彎曲段中行進時，在一側的水平輪子126c由於與軌道的橫向側相接觸而轉向。The horizontal wheel 126c is used to remain as the body transport unit 120 travels along the track 101 The main body transfer unit 120 does not shake left and right. In particular, when the body transfer unit 120 travels in the curved section of the track 101, the horizontal wheel 126c on one side is turned due to contact with the lateral side of the track.
相反，當主體傳送單元120由於懸浮而行進時，垂直輪子126a及126b不與軌道101接觸。然而，當主體傳送單元120由於异常原因、在設定點處停止等而從懸浮狀態釋放時，會出現滾動接觸。In contrast, when the main body transport unit 120 travels due to suspension, the vertical wheels 126a and 126b are not in contact with the track 101. However, when the main body transfer unit 120 is released from the floating state due to an abnormality, stopping at a set point, or the like, a rolling contact may occur.
當主體傳送單元120通過軌道101與懸浮單元140之間的相互作用而懸浮至預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)、並且接著基於軌道101與推進單元150之間的相互作用的推進力使主體傳送單元120沿軌道101傳送(如上所述)時，如果有震動或噪聲(尤其是過大的震動)傳遞至裝載單元110，則會難以應付。When the main body transfer unit 120 is suspended to a preset height H by the interaction between the track 101 and the suspension unit 140 (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12), and then based on the interaction between the track 101 and the propulsion unit 150 When the propulsion force causes the main body conveying unit 120 to be transported along the rail 101 (as described above), if vibration or noise (especially excessive vibration) is transmitted to the loading unit 110, it is difficult to cope.
震動可由機械結構的結構特性產生，但也可由在懸浮單元140及推進單元150運行時所產生的高頻產生。The shock can be generated by the structural characteristics of the mechanical structure, but can also be generated by the high frequencies generated when the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 are operating.
如果不减小(即不阻尼)這種震動，則震動可通過裝載單元110直接傳遞至傳送盒，並且因此LCD基板可在傳送盒中受到損壞。為解决此問題，本實例性實施例提供阻尼單元170，以用於阻尼傳遞至裝載單元110的震動或阻尼噪聲。If such vibration is not reduced (i.e., not damped), the shock can be directly transmitted to the transfer case through the loading unit 110, and thus the LCD substrate can be damaged in the transfer case. To address this problem, the present exemplary embodiment provides a damping unit 170 for damping vibration or damping noise transmitted to the loading unit 110.
在本實例性實施例中，阻尼單元170包括設置於懸浮單元140的一側的第一阻尼襯墊171以及設置於推進單元150的一側的第二阻尼襯墊172。如上所述，由於震動可主要地產生於懸浮單元140及推進單元150的側部，因而較佳在這些區域中安裝第一阻尼襯墊171及第二阻尼襯墊172。In the present exemplary embodiment, the damper unit 170 includes a first damper pad 171 disposed at one side of the levitation unit 140 and a second damper pad 172 disposed at one side of the propulsion unit 150. As described above, since the shock can be mainly generated at the side of the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150, it is preferable to install the first damper pad 171 and the second damper pad 172 in these regions.
具體而言，第一阻尼襯墊171放置於懸浮單元140與主體傳送單元120的單元下板120c之間，並相對於主體傳送單元120阻尼懸浮單元140。Specifically, the first damper pad 171 is placed between the suspension unit 140 and the unit lower plate 120c of the main body transfer unit 120, and dampens the suspension unit 140 with respect to the main body transfer unit 120.
此外，第二阻尼襯墊172放置於推進單元150與主體傳送單元120的單元底板131之間，並相對於主體傳送單元120阻尼推進單元150。第一阻尼襯墊171及第二阻尼襯墊172二者可包括具有預定厚度或考慮到震動而設計為更大厚度的橡膠襯墊、矽襯墊及聚氨酯襯墊中的一者。Further, the second damper pad 172 is placed between the propulsion unit 150 and the unit bottom plate 131 of the main body transfer unit 120, and dampens the propulsion unit 150 with respect to the main body transfer unit 120. Both the first damper pad 171 and the second damper pad 172 may include one of a rubber pad, a crepe pad, and a urethane pad having a predetermined thickness or a greater thickness in consideration of vibration.
如上所述，第一阻尼襯墊171及第二阻尼襯墊172的位置及作用可非常重要。在本實例性實施例中，除第一阻尼襯墊171及第二阻尼襯墊172外，還提供額外的阻尼裝置。其中之一是空氣彈簧173，另一個為阻尼减震器175。As described above, the position and function of the first damper pad 171 and the second damper pad 172 can be very important. In the present exemplary embodiment, in addition to the first damper pad 171 and the second damper pad 172, an additional damper device is provided. One of them is an air spring 173 and the other is a damper damper 175.
空氣彈簧173放置於裝載單元110與主體傳送單元120之間，並阻尼垂直震動。空氣彈簧173可局部地容置在形成於單元頂板130上的貫穿孔130a中。The air spring 173 is placed between the loading unit 110 and the main body transfer unit 120 and dampens vertical vibration. The air spring 173 may be partially housed in the through hole 130a formed in the unit top plate 130.
作為將橡膠的粘性阻尼和空氣的粘性阻尼相結合的高效空氣彈簧173，本實例性實施例中所用的空氣彈簧173具有2.8 Hz至5.5 Hz的固有頻率，從而提供優异的阻尼效率，即優异的减震效率。當然，本發明並不僅限於此值。空氣彈簧173經一次空氣注射後可供長期使用。即使空氣完全排出，內部支撑體(圖未示出)(即內部結構)也可支撑裝載單元110的一側的重量，並因此足以提供期望的阻尼效果。As the high efficiency air spring 173 combining the viscous damping of the rubber and the viscous damping of the air, the air spring 173 used in the present exemplary embodiment has a natural frequency of 2.8 Hz to 5.5 Hz, thereby providing excellent damping efficiency, that is, excellent Different damping efficiency. Of course, the invention is not limited to this value. The air spring 173 is available for long-term use after one air injection. Even if the air is completely exhausted, the inner support (not shown) (i.e., the internal structure) can support the weight of one side of the loading unit 110, and thus is sufficient to provide a desired damping effect.
如第5圖所示，阻尼减震器175包括耦合至主體傳送單元120的一側(即連接至主體傳送單元120的垂直加强桿132)的第一端以及連接至裝載單元110的一側的第二端，從而阻尼傳遞至裝載單元110的震動。在此種情形中，托架176連接至阻尼减震器175的第二端。托架176在穿過形成於單元頂板130上的托架孔130b的同時直接連接至裝載部111的裝載下板111b。在本實例性實施例中，在主體傳送單元120的每一側處均提供兩個阻尼减震器175，其中所述兩個阻尼减震器175以字母“V”的形式相對於彼此傾斜。As shown in FIG. 5, the damper damper 175 includes a first end coupled to one side of the main body transfer unit 120 (ie, a vertical reinforcing bar 132 connected to the main body transfer unit 120) and a side connected to the loading unit 110. The second end thereby damps the vibration transmitted to the loading unit 110. In this case, the bracket 176 is coupled to the second end of the damper damper 175. The bracket 176 is directly connected to the loading lower plate 111b of the loading portion 111 while passing through the bracket hole 130b formed on the unit top plate 130. In the present exemplary embodiment, two damper dampers 175 are provided at each side of the body transfer unit 120, wherein the two damper dampers 175 are inclined relative to each other in the form of the letter "V".
接著，如第11圖至第13圖所示，非接觸型電源160包括沿軌道101較長地設置的感應軌道161以及拾取單元162，拾取單元162連接至主體傳送單元120以在不接觸感應軌道161的情况下鄰近感應軌道161放置、並通過基於電磁感應在非接觸狀態中接收恒定電流來向懸浮單元140及推進單元150供電。Next, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the non-contact type power supply 160 includes the sensing track 161 which is longly disposed along the track 101 and the pickup unit 162, and the pickup unit 162 is connected to the main body transfer unit 120 so as not to contact the sensing track. In the case of 161, the proximity sensing track 161 is placed and power is supplied to the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 by receiving a constant current in a non-contact state based on electromagnetic induction.
感應軌道161包括一對相互間隔開且相互平行的軌道突出部161a。對應於感應軌道161，拾取單元162具有類似字母“E”的形狀並包括分別位於所述一對軌道突出部161a之間及所述一對軌道突出部161a外側的電動勢產生指狀物(electromotive-force generating finger)162a。The sensing track 161 includes a pair of track protrusions 161a that are spaced apart from each other and are parallel to each other. Corresponding to the sensing track 161, the pickup unit 162 has a shape similar to the letter "E" and includes electromotive force generating fingers respectively located between the pair of track protrusions 161a and outside the pair of track protrusions 161a (electromotive- Force generating finger) 162a.
因此，當將高頻交流(AC)電力應用於感應軌道161時，可通過電磁感應在鄰近感應軌道161的拾取單元162中產生電動勢，可使用此種電動勢作為用於操作懸浮單元140及推進單元150的原動力。Therefore, when high frequency alternating current (AC) power is applied to the sensing track 161, an electromotive force can be generated in the pickup unit 162 adjacent to the inductive track 161 by electromagnetic induction, and such electromotive force can be used as the operation of the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit The driving force of 150.
根據實例性實施例，磁力懸浮傳送系統的非接觸型電源160包括調節器163以及電源164，調節器163從拾取單元162接收電壓(電動勢)，電源164則連接至調節器163並將電壓分配給懸浮單元140及推進單元150(參照第13圖)。According to an exemplary embodiment, the contactless power supply 160 of the magnetic suspension transfer system includes a regulator 163 and a power supply 164 that receives a voltage (electromotive force) from the pickup unit 162, and the power supply 164 is connected to the regulator 163 and distributes the voltage to Suspension unit 140 and propulsion unit 150 (refer to Fig. 13).
通過此種結構，例如，如果從鄰近感應軌道161的拾取單元162接收到電壓(電動勢)的調節器163向電源164供應300 V的直流(DC)電壓，則電源164的分配電路165將該電壓以DC 12 V、DC 24 V、DC 48 V等形式分配給懸浮單元140及推進單元150，以使懸浮單元140及推進單元150可發揮其各自的功能。如果如第13圖所示，電源164被配置成與分配電路165整合在一起並從調節器163接收電壓，則可有利地使實現方式變得簡單、使維護簡便易行、使控制相對容易、以及通過非接觸方法穩定且安全地供電。With such a configuration, for example, if the regulator 163 that receives the voltage (electromotive force) from the pickup unit 162 adjacent to the sensing track 161 supplies a direct current (DC) voltage of 300 V to the power source 164, the distribution circuit 165 of the power source 164 sets the voltage. The suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 are distributed in the form of DC 12 V, DC 24 V, DC 48 V, etc., so that the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 can perform their respective functions. If the power supply 164 is configured to integrate with the distribution circuit 165 and receive voltage from the regulator 163 as shown in FIG. 13, it may be advantageous to make the implementation simple, to make maintenance easy, and to make control relatively easy, And stable and safe power supply through a non-contact method.
同時，如第5圖至第9圖所示，根據實例性實施例的磁力懸浮傳送系統包括緊急制動單元180。緊急制動單元180用於在未供電時限制主體傳送單元120的移動。Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, the magnetic suspension transmission system according to an exemplary embodiment includes an emergency brake unit 180. The emergency brake unit 180 is for restricting movement of the main body transfer unit 120 when not powered.
換句話說，緊急制動單元180連接至垂直輪子126a及126b中放置於軌道101上的上部垂直輪子126a，並强制地使上部垂直輪子126a的轉動停止，從而限制主體傳送單元120的移動。換句話說，如果未向正在移動的主體傳送單元120供電，則正被懸浮的主體傳送單元120會向下移動，並且因此上部垂直輪子126a與軌道101的頂部相接觸。然後，慣性使上部垂直輪子126a繼續在軌道101上轉動，從而使得主體傳送單元120可移動。此時，如果緊急制動單元180强制地限制上部垂直輪子126a的移動，則上部垂直輪子126a會在軌道101上滑動預定距離後停止，從而使得主體傳送單元120可在此位置停止。In other words, the emergency brake unit 180 is coupled to the upper vertical wheel 126a of the vertical wheels 126a and 126b placed on the rail 101, and forcibly stops the rotation of the upper vertical wheel 126a, thereby restricting the movement of the main body conveying unit 120. In other words, if power is not supplied to the moving body transfer unit 120, the body transfer unit 120 being suspended will move downward, and thus the upper vertical wheel 126a is in contact with the top of the track 101. Then, the inertia causes the upper vertical wheel 126a to continue to rotate on the track 101, thereby allowing the body transfer unit 120 to move. At this time, if the emergency brake unit 180 forcibly restricts the movement of the upper vertical wheel 126a, the upper vertical wheel 126a is stopped after sliding a predetermined distance on the rail 101, so that the main body conveying unit 120 can be stopped at this position.
可在四個上部垂直輪子126a中的每一者中提供緊急制動單元180。然而，根據實例性實施例，緊急制動單元180連接至所述四個上部垂直輪子126a中的兩個前輪子或兩個後輪子。此外，緊急制動單元180可通過電子緊急制動單元(圖未示出)來實現。然而，根據實例性實施例，為可靠地操作，緊急制動單元180是通過設置有離合器(圖未示出)或制動襯墊(圖未示出)的機械緊急制動單元180來實現。An emergency braking unit 180 can be provided in each of the four upper vertical wheels 126a. However, according to an exemplary embodiment, the emergency brake unit 180 is coupled to two of the four upper vertical wheels 126a or two rear wheels. Further, the emergency brake unit 180 can be implemented by an electronic emergency brake unit (not shown). However, according to an exemplary embodiment, for reliable operation, the emergency brake unit 180 is implemented by a mechanical emergency brake unit 180 provided with a clutch (not shown) or a brake pad (not shown).
對於此種配置，將對磁力懸浮傳送系統的運行簡要說明如下。For this configuration, a brief description of the operation of the magnetic suspension transport system will be given below.
將上述單元組裝並放置在軌道101上，並在軌道101的某一位置處將傳送盒裝載到裝載單元110的裝載部111中。The above unit is assembled and placed on the rail 101, and the transfer cassette is loaded into the loading portion 111 of the loading unit 110 at a certain position of the rail 101.
然後，當對軌道161施加高頻AC電源時，通過電磁感應在鄰近軌道161的拾取單元162中產生電動勢，並且所述電磁感應被提供作為用於操作懸浮單元140及推進單元150的原動力。由此，可穩定且安全地供電。Then, when a high-frequency AC power source is applied to the track 161, an electromotive force is generated in the pickup unit 162 adjacent to the track 161 by electromagnetic induction, and the electromagnetic induction is provided as a motive force for operating the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150. Thereby, power can be supplied stably and safely.
當懸浮單元140及推進單元150運行時，首先通過軌道101與懸浮單元140之間的相互作用，使主體傳送單元120懸浮至預設高度H(參照第11圖及第12圖)。When the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 are operated, the main body transfer unit 120 is first suspended to a preset height H by the interaction between the rail 101 and the suspension unit 140 (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12).
然後，通過軌道101與推進單元150之間的相互作用提供推進力，並且因此在沿軌道101傳送主體傳送單元120的同時將傳送盒傳送至另一個期望位置。Then, the propulsive force is provided by the interaction between the rail 101 and the propulsion unit 150, and thus the transport cassette is transported to another desired position while the main transport unit 120 is being transported along the rail 101.
此時，由於將根據實例性實施例的推進單元150設置為分別耦合至第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122的第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152，因而沿軌道101傳送的主體傳送單元120的軌道101可在需要時平穩地分出支路。At this time, since the propulsion unit 150 according to the exemplary embodiment is disposed as the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152 coupled to the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122, respectively, along the track The track 101 of the main transport unit 120 that is transported 101 can smoothly branch out when necessary.
例如，從第10a圖所示的筆直路綫至第10b圖所示的分支路綫的支路可為平滑的。這可通過單獨控制分別設置於第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122中的第一獨立推進單元151及第二獨立推進單元152來實現。換句話說，如第10a圖至第10b圖所示，在即將進入分支區域之前，關閉前面的第一基本傳送單元121的第一獨立推進單元151，以使第一基本傳送單元121可僅通過來自後面的第二基本傳送單元122的第二獨立推進單元152的推進力而穿過分支區域。接著，在第一基本傳送單元121穿過分支區域並進入新軌道101之後，立即接通第一基本傳送單元121的第一獨立推進單元151並關閉後面的第二基本傳送單元122的第二獨立推進單元152，以使第二基本傳送單元122可僅通過來自第一獨立推進單元151的推進力而穿過分支區域。通過此種控制，即使軌道101具有極性，也可使軌道101分出支路。For example, the branch from the straight route shown in Fig. 10a to the branch route shown in Fig. 10b may be smooth. This can be achieved by separately controlling the first independent propulsion unit 151 and the second independent propulsion unit 152, which are respectively disposed in the first basic transfer unit 121 and the second basic transfer unit 122. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 10a to 10b, the first independent propulsion unit 151 of the first first basic transfer unit 121 is closed immediately before entering the branch area, so that the first basic transfer unit 121 can pass only The propulsive force of the second independent propulsion unit 152 from the second second basic transfer unit 122 passes through the branching area. Then, after the first basic transfer unit 121 passes through the branch area and enters the new track 101, the first independent push unit 151 of the first basic transfer unit 121 is turned on immediately and the second independent transfer of the second second transfer unit 122 is closed. The unit 152 is advanced such that the second basic transfer unit 122 can pass through the branch area only by the propulsive force from the first independent propulsion unit 151. By such control, even if the track 101 has a polarity, the track 101 can be branched out of the branch.
同時，可通過阻尼單元170阻尼在傳送主體傳送單元120的同時以機械方式所產生的震動以及因懸浮單元140及推進單元150運行所產生的震動。換句話說，通過第一阻尼襯墊171阻尼來自懸浮單元140的震動，並且通過第二阻尼襯墊172阻尼來自推進單元150的震動。另外，阻尼彈簧173及阻尼减震器175阻尼對應位置處的震動，從而防止震動傳遞至裝載有傳送盒的裝載單元110。At the same time, the vibration generated by the mechanical transmission of the main body transfer unit 120 and the vibration generated by the operation of the suspension unit 140 and the propulsion unit 150 can be damped by the damper unit 170. In other words, the vibration from the suspension unit 140 is damped by the first damper pad 171, and the vibration from the propulsion unit 150 is damped by the second damper pad 172. In addition, the damper spring 173 and the damper damper 175 dampen the vibration at the corresponding position, thereby preventing the vibration from being transmitted to the loading unit 110 loaded with the transport cassette.
此外，在根據實例性實施例的傳送系統中，即使與磁懸浮列車的軌道不同，軌道101如第2圖所示具有相對非常小的曲率半徑，裝載有傳送盒並沿軌道101的路綫傳送的主體傳送單元120也可在軌道101的彎曲段以及直段中平穩地傳送，這是因為主體傳送單元120被設置為第一基本傳送單元121及第二基本傳送單元122並且第一基本傳送單元121與第二基本傳送單元122通過耦合部件123相連接。Further, in the transport system according to the exemplary embodiment, even if it is different from the track of the maglev train, the track 101 has a relatively very small radius of curvature as shown in Fig. 2, and the main body loaded with the transport box and transported along the route of the track 101 The conveying unit 120 can also be smoothly conveyed in the curved section and the straight section of the rail 101 because the main body conveying unit 120 is provided as the first basic conveying unit 121 and the second basic conveying unit 122 and the first basic conveying unit 121 and The second basic transfer unit 122 is connected by a coupling member 123.
當主體傳送單元120到達軌道101的期望位置且軌道161不被供以高頻AC電源時，正被懸浮的主體傳送單元120向下移動並放置在軌道101上。在此種狀態中，載送傳送盒，並且新的載送操作再次開始。When the main body transfer unit 120 reaches the desired position of the track 101 and the track 161 is not supplied with the high frequency AC power, the main transfer unit 120 being suspended is moved downward and placed on the track 101. In this state, the transport cassette is carried and the new carry operation is started again.
同時，如果通過主體傳送單元120的重複移動來進行傳送盒的傳送工作，則主體傳送單元120可存在剛性的問題。然而，本實例性實施例中的主體傳送單元120具有其中連接有單元頂板130、單元底板131等的有效剛性結構，因此可長期地保持穩定結構。Meanwhile, if the transfer operation of the transfer cassette is performed by the repeated movement of the main body transfer unit 120, the main transfer unit 120 may have a problem of rigidity. However, the main body transfer unit 120 in the present exemplary embodiment has an effective rigid structure in which the unit top plate 130, the unit bottom plate 131, and the like are connected, so that the stable structure can be maintained for a long period of time.
如上所述，在傳送物體(例如傳送盒)時采用磁力懸浮技術作為非接觸型技術其中之一，從而解决由於摩擦及磨損而損壞元件的問題及造成噪聲的問題以及解决產生微粒的問題，並且尤其是在以高速傳送物體的同時穩定且安全地供電。As described above, magnetic suspension technology is employed as one of non-contact type techniques in conveying an object such as a transfer case, thereby solving the problem of damage to components due to friction and wear and the problem of causing noise and solving the problem of generating particles, and Especially when the object is transported at a high speed, the power is supplied stably and safely.
第15圖為根據本發明又一實例性實施例的磁力懸浮傳送系統的局部分解立體圖。Figure 15 is a partially exploded perspective view of a magnetic suspension transport system in accordance with still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
如圖所示，可使用阻尼彈簧173a代替上述空氣彈簧173(參照第4圖)。阻尼彈簧173a也設置於裝載單元110與主體傳送單元120之間並用以阻尼垂直震動。As shown in the figure, a damper spring 173a can be used instead of the air spring 173 (see Fig. 4). The damping spring 173a is also disposed between the loading unit 110 and the main body conveying unit 120 to dampen vertical vibration.
如果提供足够的空間，則阻尼彈簧173a可設置於任何位置，只要其設置於裝載單元110與主體傳送單元120之間即可。在本實例性實施例中，阻尼彈簧173a設置於單元頂板130中。換句話說，貫穿孔130a形成於單元頂板130中，並且阻尼彈簧173a局部地容置在貫穿孔130a中。If sufficient space is provided, the damper spring 173a may be disposed at any position as long as it is disposed between the loading unit 110 and the main body transfer unit 120. In the present exemplary embodiment, the damper spring 173a is disposed in the unit top plate 130. In other words, the through hole 130a is formed in the unit top plate 130, and the damper spring 173a is partially housed in the through hole 130a.
阻尼彈簧173a與桿板173b相連接。桿板173b放置於裝載單元110的下方並支撑裝載單元110。在本實例性實施例中，提供四個阻尼彈簧173a，這些阻尼彈簧173a在單元頂板130的拐角區域處相對於彼此傾斜。因此，可更穩定地阻尼傳遞至裝載單元110的震動。當然，排列方向並不僅限於附圖中的那些方向。The damper spring 173a is coupled to the lever plate 173b. The lever plate 173b is placed below the loading unit 110 and supports the loading unit 110. In the present exemplary embodiment, four damper springs 173a are provided which are inclined with respect to each other at the corner regions of the unit top plate 130. Therefore, the vibration transmitted to the loading unit 110 can be more stably damped. Of course, the arrangement direction is not limited to those directions in the drawings.
