Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a conveyor line type silo, in particular to a conveyor line type silo capable of accumulating and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the mechanical processing industry develops towards intelligent manufacturing, conveyor lines are increasingly being used in production. Conveyor lines are an important way to transfer workpieces. Accumulation and release conveyor lines are a commonly used conveying system that can not only convey items, but also temporarily store items on the conveyor line to prevent them from continuing to be conveyed.

[0003] There are many types of disc parts in the body, with different sizes, and they usually need to be transferred by accompanying tooling on the conveyor line. However, the accompanying tooling currently used in the production line of automobile parts has poor compatibility, low flexibility, and low degree of later transformation.

[0004] The traditional conveyor line is one-way. The accompanying tooling needs to be transported to the lower body of the lower layer by a lift at the end of the conveyor line, and then sent back from the lower conveyor line. The return line is wasteful and the cost is much higher than that of a single-layer conveyor line. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention mainly solves the deficiencies in the prior art and aims to provide a conveyor line type silo capable of accumulating and transferring disc-like parts and compatible with conveyor lines of different sizes and an operation method thereof.

[0010] The rotary conveyor frame is provided with a material stopper which is movably blocked with the bottom plate.

[0011] Preferably, the rotary conveyor frame is provided with a driving wheel and two driven wheels, the driving wheel drives the two driven wheels to rotate synchronously through a synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt is arranged in the rotary conveyor return groove;

[0012] A silo synchronous pulley is provided at the bottom of the base plate, and the silo synchronous pulley is located in the rotary conveying return groove and is meshed with the synchronous belt for transmission. A traveling silo driving wheel and two traveling silo driven wheels are provided on the upper part of the base plate, and one traveling silo driving wheel and two traveling silo driven wheels are distributed in a triangular shape in the base plate, and one traveling silo driving wheel and two traveling silo driven wheels are synchronously driven through the silo synchronous belt, and workpiece positioning rods are respectively provided in the traveling silo driving wheel and the traveling silo driven wheel, and the three workpiece positioning rods are guided and displaced along the workpiece support.

[0013] Preferably, the rotary conveyor frame is provided with a guide wheel capable of adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt;

[0014] The bottom of the base plate is provided with two accompanying material bin driving wheels which are distributed at intervals, one of which is provided with a torque limiter fixed to the base plate, the bottom of the base plate is provided with an inner pulley which slides with the rotary conveying return groove, the workpiece support is fixed to the base plate, and the workpiece support is provided with three evenly distributed arc-shaped guide opening grooves, and each workpiece positioning rod slides along an arc-shaped guide opening groove for guidance.

[0016] An operation method of a conveyor line type silo capable of accumulating is performed in the following steps:

[0017] The synchronous belt teeth in the rotary conveyor assembly face outwards. When conveying items, the accompanying silo synchronous belt pulley meshes with the synchronous belt teeth to achieve synchronous conveying. When conveying to the required workstation, the material stopper is used to stop the material. The silo synchronous belt pulley is equipped with a torque limiter. After the material stopper stops the silo, the torque limiter is overloaded and automatically slips without causing damage to the components.

[0018] After the required process is completed at the workstation, the material stopper retracts, the overload of the torque limiter is eliminated, and the accompanying silo continues to move forward driven by the synchronous belt;

[0019] The position of the driving wheel in the rotary conveyor line assembly is adjustable to control the tension of the synchronous belt of the entire line;
