For convenience of illustration, as shown in fig. 4, the chain 134 is composed of an upper chain segment 1341 and a lower chain segment 1342 horizontally disposed up and down, and a first arc-shaped chain segment 1343 and a second arc-shaped chain segment 1344 connecting the ends of the upper chain segment 1341 and the lower chain segment 1342, respectively. First arcuate chain segment 1343 is closer to loading station 61 and second arcuate chain segment 1344 is closer to unloading station 62. In order to avoid interference between the supporting part 14 and the crankshaft, the connecting part 136 is initially located on the lower chain segment 1342, and the supporting part 14 is lower than the bearing seat 15. Two ends of the frame are provided with a feeding station 61 (namely the position of the carrier seat 15 positioned at the most upstream) and a discharging station 62 (namely the most downstream position that the supporting part 14 positioned at the most downstream can reach), if the workpiece 8 on the discharging station 62 does not need to be transferred, the carrier seat 15 is arranged on the discharging station 62, and the supporting part 14 transfers the workpiece 8 to the carrier seat 15; if the work at the blanking station 62 needs to be transferred, the carrier seat 15 is not provided at the blanking station 62, and the carrier 14 transfers the work to the transfer tray 34 of the work transfer device 3. A plurality of buffer storage stations 64 are arranged between the feeding station 61 and the blanking station 62, and the buffer storage stations 64 (namely, the positions of the bearing seats 15 between the feeding station 61 and the blanking station 62).

Finally, the link 136 at the bottom end of the second arcuate chain segment 1344 is repositioned to the lower chain segment 1342. During the movement of the connecting member 136, since the connecting member 136 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 135, the rotating shaft 135 rotates along with the movement of the connecting member 136.

The crankshaft conveying process is a conveying cycle, and it can be understood that, when the synchronous conveying device 1 finishes every conveying cycle, the workpiece located on the buffer storage station or the workpiece located on the feeding station 61 is conveyed to the next station until the workpiece is located on the blanking station 62, and then the conveying is stopped. When crankshafts are arranged in the feeding station 61 and the buffering station, the supporting part 14 on the conveying frame 12 drives the workpieces on the feeding station 61 and the buffering station to synchronously move, the workpieces in the feeding station 61 are conveyed to the bearing seat 15 of the buffering station 64, and the crankshafts in the buffering station 64 are conveyed to the bearing seat 15 of the blanking station 62. As can be seen, the synchronous carrying device 1 has a skillful structural design, the first motor 131 drives the conveying mechanism 13 to enable the supporting part 14 on the carrying frame 12 to synchronously convey all the workpieces placed on the feeding station 61 and the buffer station 64, and the carrying process is smooth and stable; the workpieces placed on the feeding station 61 or the buffer station can be conveyed to the bearing seat 15 in the discharging station 62 through a plurality of conveying cycles, so that the conveying efficiency is greatly improved, and automatic conveying is realized; in addition, not only can the conveying length of the synchronous conveying device 1 be prolonged, but also a buffer space can be provided by arranging the plurality of buffer stations 64, and the blanking speed is accelerated.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the synchronous handling device 1 further includes a guiding mechanism, the guiding mechanism includes a transverse guiding mechanism 16 and a vertical guiding mechanism 17, the transverse guiding mechanism 16 includes a first mounting frame 161, a first slide rail 162 transversely disposed on the first mounting frame 161, and a first slide carriage 163 slidably disposed on the first slide rail 162, the vertical guiding mechanism 17 includes a first support plate 171 disposed on the first slide carriage 163, a second slide rail 172 vertically disposed on the first support plate 171, and a second slide carriage 173 slidably disposed on the second slide rail 172, and the second slide carriage 173 is fixedly connected to the handling frame 12.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the carrier 15 located at the most upstream is set as a loading station 61, the most downstream position that the holder 14 located at the most downstream can reach is set as a blanking station 62, and the first frame 11 is provided with a first detector 191 for detecting whether a workpiece is placed in the loading station 61; a second detector 192 for detecting whether a workpiece is placed in the blanking station 62 is arranged on the first frame 11; the first detector 191 and the second detector 192 are both a correlation switch, the correlation switch is composed of an emitter and a receiver, and the detection light emitted by the emitter is indicated by a dotted line. To better enable the detection of the workpiece, the transmitter and receiver are arranged offset. When the first detector 191 detects the workpiece, it indicates that the crankshaft in the loading station 61 is in place and can be transported. When the second detector 192 detects that the workpiece exists in the blanking station 62, the synchronous carrying device 1 does not carry out carrying operation any more so as to avoid interference.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, a mounting bracket 194 is disposed on the first frame 11, a third detector 193 is disposed on the mounting bracket 194, and a triggering piece 195 is disposed on the carrier 12, wherein the triggering piece 195 can trigger the third detector 193. The third detector 193 is a proximity switch. When the trigger piece 195 faces the third detector 193 and the trigger piece 195 can trigger the third detector 193, the connecting member 136 is in the middle of the lower chain segment, which can be regarded as an initial position or a reset position. The trigger piece 195 passes the third detector 193 once every time a transfer cycle is completed to ensure that the carrier 12 and the holder 14 are reset. When the conveyance cycle is completed once, the synchronous conveyance device 1 determines whether to stop the conveyance operation or continue the next conveyance based on the information fed back from the other detectors.

It is understood that, in the case where the carrying pressure is small, only the first synchronous carrying device 1a is operated, the work transfer device forms a single-line carrying line with the first synchronous carrying device 1a, and the second synchronous carrying device 1b and the work transfer device do not operate.

When the first transfer device 1a transfers the workpiece to the transfer tray 34, the workpiece transfer device 2 can directly transfer the workpiece, and the position of the transfer tray 34 in this state is a transfer loading point; when the workpiece on the second conveying device 1b needs to be transferred, the conveying disc 34 on the workpiece transferring device 3 moves to the blanking station 62 of the second conveying device 1b, the electric control device controls the first motor 131 to start, the first motor 131 drives the torque limiter 36 to rotate, and the torque limiter 36 drives the driving pulley 37, the driven pulley 38 and the synchronous belt 39 to move, so that the transferring frame 33 moves transversely towards the direction of the first conveying device 1a, and the conveying disc 34 moves to the blanking point. Since the output end of the first motor 131 is connected with the driving pulley 37 through the torque limiter 36, when the transfer rack 33 collides with a pedestrian, the transmission torques of the driving pulley 37 and the torque limiter 36 are instantly increased and exceed the preset slip torque value of the torque limiter 36, so that a slip occurs between the driving pulley 37 and the torque limiter 36, and the transfer rack 33 immediately stops moving without causing injury to the pedestrian, and the transfer rack 33 is prevented from causing secondary injury to the pedestrian. When the pedestrian leaves the moving frame 33, the transmission torque of the driving pulley 37 and the torque limiter 36 is lower than the preset sliding torque value of the torque limiter 36, and the driving pulley 37 automatically restores to normal operation, so that the loss caused by shutdown is avoided.

Here, in order to ensure that the transfer rack does not hurt the human body even after colliding with a person, the second motor is preferably a reduction motor, and the movement speed of the transfer rack 33 is reduced to reduce the momentum of the transfer rack 33 during movement.

The compression of the belleville spring can be adjusted by locking the end caps, thereby acting to adjust the torque preset value of the torque limiter 36.

If the second sensor A32 and the third sensor A33 can sense the identification bump, and the first sensor A31 cannot sense the identification bump, the electric control device judges that the empty tray on the first detection station is the second tray J6 with correct placing posture; the robot grips the crankshaft of the 2.5L engine onto the second pallet J6.

If the first sensor a31 and the third sensor a33 can sense the identification bump and the second sensor a32 cannot sense the identification bump, the electronic control device determines that the empty tray on the first detection station is the second tray J6 placed upside down in the placing posture. The electronic control device can send out a warning signal to inform an operator to take the tray away or put the tray right again in time.

The lifting mechanism comprises a connecting plate for connecting all the roller groups and a vertically arranged sixth air cylinder, the sixth air cylinder is fixedly arranged on the fourth rack B1, and the piston rod end of the sixth air cylinder is connected with the connecting plate.

During operation, the second roller way conveying mechanism B2 receives the workpiece on the first roller way conveying mechanism A2 and conveys the tray loaded with the workpiece forwards, the flange B3 stops the tray to continue to convey forwards, the lifting mechanism drives the roller set B5 to ascend, the conveying plane of the roller set B5 is higher than the conveying plane of the second roller way conveying mechanism B2, therefore, the roller set B5 supports the tray, and then a quality inspector manually pulls the tray to the quality inspection platform C. Because rolling friction is formed between the bottom of the tray and the roller group, the friction force is small, and a quality inspector can pull the tray loaded with the workpiece onto the quality inspection table C with little effort, so that the labor intensity of the quality inspector is greatly reduced.

And the finished automobile crankshaft with quality inspection defects is regarded as an unqualified product, the first air cylinder C33 drives the second mounting plate C31 and the lifting arm C32 to descend and reset, so that the automobile crankshaft is placed on the tray J again, and then a quality inspector slides the tray J and the automobile crankshaft to an unqualified product placing frame. Compared with the existing quality inspection platform, the quality inspection platform provided by the invention has high automation degree, the quality inspection platform is well connected with other conveying equipment, and the material loading and unloading carrying work with high labor cost of quality inspectors is not required, so that the labor intensity of the quality inspectors is greatly reduced, and the detection efficiency is improved.
