Line-merging control mechanism

Abstract

The invention discloses a line-merging control mechanism. The line-merging control mechanism comprises a towing hook line main rail and a line-merging line branch rail. A towing hook driving line is arranged on the towing hook line main rail, wherein a number of towing hooks are driven to run along the towing hook line main rail by the towing hook driving line. A cyclic towing hook driving line isarranged on the line-merging line branch rail, wherein a number of the towing hooks are driven to run along the line-merging line branch rail by the cyclic towing hook driving line. The line-mergingline branch rail is in merging connection with the towing hook line main rail. The line-merging control mechanism further comprises a first detection sensor for detecting carriers running on the towing hook line main rail. The first detection sensor is arranged at the front end of a connection portion of the towing hook line main rail and the line-merging line branch rail. The line-merging controlmechanism further comprises a stopping mechanism used for stopping the carriers from running along the line-merging line branch rail. The carriers are controlled to run on the line-merging line branch rail by the stopping mechanism according to detection signals of the first detection sensor. According to the line-merging control mechanism, through automated detection and the control mechanism, carriers on the line-merging line branch rail are prevented from generating interference to the carriers on the towing hook line main rail when merging to the towing hook line main rail; and normal operation of the line-merging mechanism is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hanging conveyor lines, and in particular relates to a confluence control mechanism for towed hook lines. Background technique [0002] The tow hook line is an assembly line used to transport the hook carrier in the hanging conveyor system. Since the tow hook line has a single entrance, a confluence mechanism is usually used to allow the hook carrier to be merged into the tow hook line in good time. For example, the Chinese Patent No. 201821467974.0 The invention patent discloses "a kind of merging mechanism". The merging mechanism sets a triangular bump on the inner side of the swing head. When the carrier hook cooperates with the triangular bump, the swing head is driven to rotate to the main rail to realize the merge with the main rail. connect. [0003] Generally, each tow hook drags a hook carrier during the transportation process of the tow hook line. Therefore, when the hook carrier is incorporate...

In addition, the merging mechanism using the swing head mechanism to realize the merging connection between the branch rail and the main rail cannot meet the fast and efficient merging requirements of the vehicles. For example, when a large number of vehicles on the electric main rail need to quickly merge to the tow hook line, this swing Therefore, it is necessary to set up a long temporary storage track between the electric main rail and the towing hook line to adapt to the merging efficiency of this merging mechanism.
