Fig. 4 B are the vertical views of transmission line body shown in Fig. 4 A.
As shown in Figure 4 A and 4 B shown in FIG., it is located at main conveyor belt 210 for carrying the pallet 800 of workpiece.According to manufacture The needs of task can enter branch conveyer belt by the pallet 800 that main conveyor belt 210c is transmitted by becoming rail 220.For ease of discussing, this mechanism for becoming rail from main conveyor belt to branch conveyer belt is referred to as by the application " to be shunted change rail to fill It sets ".Illustrative shunting rail changing device may include becoming rail rail block 7201,7202,7203,7204, shunting 7301 He of cylinder 7302 (shunting cylinder 7302 is generally symmetricly set on the other side of main line sending with shunting cylinder 7301).According to manufacturing operation It needs, if pallet needs to become the operating space that rail enters TU task unit, the control system of pipeline is (for example, MES systems System) it can control shunting cylinder 7301 to rise, so that pallet 800 is become rail and enters branch conveyer belt 220.If pallet is not required to Become the operating space that rail enters TU task unit, but current task unit should be skipped over, then controllable point of the control system of pipeline Gas cylinder 7302 rises, and it is to become rail and be to continue with forward that this, which makes pallet 800 not,.
As an example, further describing pallet 800 is acted on by shunting cylinder 7301 and shunting cylinder 7302 Become trailer system.Two spring cylindrical pins can be respectively set at left and right sides of the lower section of pallet 800, for controlling pallet 800 advance along conveyer belt (track).An inclined-plane can be then arranged in the top of shunting cylinder 7301 and 7302.When shunting cylinder 7301 when rising, and two spring cylindrical pins of the corresponding side of pallet 800 are encountered inside the pallet that can retract behind inclined-plane, And two spring cylindrical pins of the other side can enter change rail track along the track of conveyer belt, to realize change rail.Work as shunting When cylinder 7302 rises, two spring cylindrical pins of the corresponding side of pallet 800 encounter the pallet that can retract behind inclined-plane Inside cannot be introduced into change rail mechanism, and two spring cylindrical pins of the other side can continue to move ahead along the track of conveyer belt.
It should be noted that change trailer system described above is only used as example.Those skilled in the art can select material defeated Any available change trailer system in field, including transmission wire body appropriate and corresponding pallet are sent, to realize pallet Change rail.These change rail technologies can all be equal or similar mode applies in the technical solution that the application provides.
Control system can be assigned to industry control PLC to the instruction of rail changing device, more specifically, being assigned to and pipeline unit The corresponding industry control PLC of 200c.Transfer orbital control module in industry control PLC is further generated to the control of shunting cylinder 7301 and 7302 Signal processed.
In embodiment in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, transfer orbital control signal is by control system according to each pallet/workpiece Concrete condition, which corresponds to, to be generated.More specifically, as shown in Figure 4 B, main conveyor belt 210 includes close to sensing unit 7401 and radio frequency Sensing unit 7402, the position before pallet arrives at shunting rail changing device is arranged in they.It can close to sensing unit 7401 Detection is close to its object, for example, the arrival of detection pallet 800.The letter in RFID can be read in radio frequency sensing unit 7402 Breath, for example, reading the information in the RFID on the pallet 800 arrived at.Control system can be according to close to sensing unit 7401 Information and radio frequency sensing unit 7402 information so that generate and transfer orbital control signal and be assigned to industry control PLC.
Transfer orbital control signal may include " becoming rail to start " signal and " becoming rail to inhibit " signal.Illustratively " become rail to start " It is so that shunting cylinder 7301 is in upper raise-position, shunting cylinder 7302 is in lower decrease.It is so that shunting illustratively " to become rail to inhibit " Cylinder 7301 is in lower decrease, and shunting cylinder 7302 is in upper raise-position.It should be understood that the default setting when Transmission system is to make loading support When disk becomes rail, operating system does not send out any signal and " becoming rail to start " can be realized, equally, when the default setting of Transmission system is When pallet being made to continue to move ahead, operating system does not send out any signal and can be realized " becoming rail to inhibit ".Therefore, control system " become rail and start instruction " and " become rail and inhibit instruction " can be the instruction realized by not sending out no signal.
In one embodiment, it is individually unwanted close to sensing unit, radio frequency sensing unit reads information It is considered as the arrival of pallet.
The flow of Fig. 5 is shown based on being become close to the information of sensing unit 7401 and radio frequency sensing unit 7402 The schematic flow 500 of rail control.In step 510, by detecting whether pallet 800 arrives at close to sensing unit 7401. Step 520, when detecting that pallet 800 arrives at, the letter in the RFID of pallet is read by radio frequency sensing unit 7402 Breath.In step 530, control system can obtain the information of associated task according to RFID information, that is, and pallet 800 What the corresponding association manufacturing operation of RFID information is.In step 540, current pallet (and its workpiece carried) is judged Whether need to become rail to enter the operating space of neighbouring TU task unit.If association production task shows or appoints to association production Business analysis shows, current pallet need become rail with enter TU task unit operating space, then control system is in step 550 It generates and becomes rail startup instruction.It can issue the actuating signal that shunting cylinder 7301 is sent out by industry control PLC to become rail and start instruction. If association production task show or to association production task analysis shows, current pallet need not become rail into Enter the operating space of TU task unit, but should continue to move ahead along main transmission line, then control system is generated in step 560 becomes rail Inhibit instruction.It can issue the actuating signal that shunting cylinder 7302 is sent out by industry control PLC to become rail and inhibit instruction.
Referring again to Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, in addition to being used for pallet becoming rail to branch conveyer belt 220 from main transmission line 210 On shunting rail changing device (710,7101,7102,7301,7302), can also be arranged on branch conveyer belt 220 for will Pallet becomes the device that rail returns main transmission line 210 again.This rail changing device is referred to as " returning to rail changing device " by the application.It returns The work and control principle almost the same with shunting rail changing device above-mentioned can be taken by returning rail changing device.
Referring again to Fig. 4 B, it is also equipped on branch conveyer belt 220 close to sensing unit 7501 and radio frequency sensing unit 7502, arrival for sensing pallet and the identifier for reading the pallet.In response to the arrival of pallet, task Unit executes processing task corresponding with the identifier of pallet.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the further application based on rail changing device includes that subsequent workpiece is made to surmount preamble work " task queue adjustment " technology of part.As an example, when the task of some workpiece in task queue is compared to other workpiece When task has higher priority, control system can arrange the workpiece of low priority/normal priority/pallet become rail into Enter branch conveyer belt 230, and workpiece/pallet of high priority is made to continue to move ahead along main transmission line 220.As needed, After the pallet change rail of low priority enters branch conveyer belt 230, the belt motor of branch conveyer belt 220 can shut down simultaneously It waits for.After the pallet of high priority passes through, control system again releases the pallet being stored in branch conveyer belt 230 It releases.
The flow of Fig. 6 shows the flexible transfer system based on the application and carries out the schematic stream of task queue adjustment Journey 600.In step 610, by detecting whether pallet 800 arrives at close to sensing unit 7401.In step 620, when detecting When pallet 800 arrives at, the information in the RFID of pallet is read by radio frequency sensing unit 7402.In step 630, control System processed can judge whether the pallet is high priority pallet according to RFID information.If it is determined that the pallet It is not high priority pallet, then control system is generated in step 640 becomes rail startup instruction, and the pallet is made to enter branch Road conveyer belt 230 simultaneously waits for.If it is determined that the pallet itself is exactly high priority pallet, then control system is in step 650, which generate change rail, inhibits instruction, and the pallet is made to continue to move ahead along main conveyor belt 220.Then (for example, after a period of time, Or read passing through afterwards for high priority pallet along the radio frequency sensing unit 7602 that main transmission line 220 is arranged), in step Rapid 660, control system may indicate that branch conveyer belt 230 discharges the pallet that it is stored.
