简体中文 ### The logic of innovation: how vertical loops reconfigure the production space
The biggest pain points of the traditional assembly line areUnloaded tooling plate occupies more than 30% of horizontal spaceThis forces operators to juggle assembly and material flow in a limited area. The double-deck speed doubler chain is designed to do this through the use ofThree-dimensional separation structure of "upward and downward" productionIn addition, the empty panel return is moved to the lower level, directly freeing up the effective working area of the upper production area. In the case of an automotive seat assembly line, for example, the design saves 40% of floor space while maintaining a high beat rate of 60JPH (60 pieces per hour).
I think the essence of it isCracking the flat layout impasse with vertical dimensions-When the workpiece board completes the assembly task, it is vertically lowered into the lower aisle through the transfer machine and automatically returned to the line at the same speed. This physical layer reconfiguration not only compresses the length of the production line by 40%, but also eliminates the time loss of operators waiting for empty boards, and improves the utilisation rate of the workstations by more than 25%. Especially for the complex process, the number of workpiece boards more than 100 continuous production scenarios (such as mobile phone motherboard mounting line), this cycle logic directly hit the core of the contradiction between efficiency and space.
Core structure and speed-up principle: a subtle synergy of mechanical design
Hierarchical system design
- upper chain of production: Adopting 2.5x or 3x speed chain, the actual speed of the work plate reaches 2-3 times of the chain speed (up to 20m/min). Aluminium profile guide rail with anodic oxidation treatment, straightness error ≤1mm/m, ensuring the positioning needs of precision assembly.
- Lower Return Channel: The unloaded pallets are returned to the line via a separate chain or belt system, consuming only 30% of the upper level.
- Shifter hubsIt consists of jacking cylinder (output force is selected according to the load) + power module (chain/belt drive), with a load capacity of up to 500kg and a jacking height error control of ±0.5mm.
Speed doubling mechanism
hinge onDifference in diameter between roller (diameter D) and roller (diameter d)::
- Velocity formula: Vtooling board
= Vsprockets
× (1 + D/d) - When D = 2d: Workpiece plate speed up to 3 times chain speed (e.g. chain speed 0.7m/s, workpiece speed 2.1m/s)
- physical principle: Roller and guide rail friction driven rotation, superimposed on the chain forward speed, the formation of composite motion.
Compared to traditional conveyor lines, this designAvoid high speed chain shake, while enabling controlled acceleration through the physical structure.

Self-questioning on core issues
Q: How do I deploy a two-tier system in a shop with insufficient space height?
A: Three major compression solutions to crack the floor height limit:
- Thin Transfer Machine: Patented design compresses the total height to 1.8 metres (e.g. Yuansheng Intelligent Solution)
- Lower belt return: Thinner than chain structure 30%, suitable for low profile plants
- localised bilayer: Only critical work stations are double-layered, the rest remain single-layered.
Q: Why do high-end electronics manufacturers favour 3x speeds over 2.5x speeds?
A. At the coreTime window for precision assembly::
- The 3x speed chain enables the workpiece to move at speeds of up to 20 metres per minute, which is 17% faster than the 2.5x speed.
- Mounter and other equipment beat ≤ 1.5 seconds, the speed difference directly affects the balance rate of the production line
- For every 0.1x speed increase, the average daily production capacity of the production line increases by 1,200 pieces (taking the mobile phone line as an example)
