AI Technical Summary
The spring force in traditional roller tensioning mechanisms is unstable, resulting in unstable driving force. After long-term use, manual adjustment is required, which affects the efficiency of sheet material conveying.
A pneumatic tensioning mechanism is adopted, which uses a cylinder and a pressure balancing unit to replace the spring. Through the cooperation of the cylinder and the pressure regulator, the air pressure is automatically adjusted to adapt to the changes in the thickness of the sheet material and to provide a stable thrust.
This technology enables the rollers to provide stable driving force even when the sheet material is of uneven thickness, reducing the need for manual adjustment and improving the stability and durability of the conveying device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the present application is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the pneumatic tensioning mechanism of the present application comprises a base 1 and a pneumatic balancing unit, the front end of the base 1 is provided with a cylinder 2, the output shaft of the cylinder 2 is provided with a lever seat 5 at the top end, and a bearing 6 is arranged between the lever seat 5 and the output shaft of the cylinder 2; the pneumatic balancing unit is used to balance the air pressure of the cylinder 2; the end of the lever seat 5 away from the output shaft of the cylinder 2 is fixedly connected with a bearing seat 4, a rotating shaft 7 is arranged between the bearing seat 4 and the base 1, and the bearing seat 4 rotates around the rotating shaft 7 as the center; a movable shaft 3 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the bearing seat 4, and a roller 14 is arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the movable shaft 3;
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the roller 14 is provided with multiple groups, and the distance between every adjacent two groups of rollers 14 is equal; a gap for the passage of the plate is arranged between the roller 14 and the connecting block 8; a plurality of anti-skid patterns are uniformly arranged on the outer wall of the roller 14; the number of the rollers 14 and the anti-skid patterns arranged thereon increase the friction between the roller 14 and the plate, and the rotation of the roller 14 drives the plate to be transmitted in the equipment;
[0031] When the plate begins to enter the device, the roller 14 presses the plate and rotates, and the roller 14 will be raised due to the uneven thickness of the plate. The roller 14 is connected between the movable shaft 3 and the bearing seat 4, so that when the roller 14 is raised, the bearing seat 4 is inevitably raised, and the bearing seat 4 is fixedly connected with the lever seat 5, and the bearing seat 4 and the lever seat 5 rotate around the rotating shaft 7. According to the lever principle, the rising of the bearing seat 4 will cause the falling of the lever seat 5. Since the lever seat 5 is connected between the bearing 6 and the output shaft of the air cylinder 2, the output shaft of the air cylinder 2 is driven to press down, so that the air cylinder 2 is compressed. The air cylinder 2 is further connected with the air pressure balancing unit, and the excess air is discharged through the air pressure balancing unit to restore the original set pressure of the air cylinder 2, so that the air cylinder 2 provides stable thrust for the roller 14, facilitating the transportation of the plate. As shown in Figures 2-3 The base 1 is fixedly connected with two groups of intermediate blocks 9 on one side of the outer wall, and the connecting block 8 is arranged between the two groups of intermediate blocks 9. The top support 10 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the base 1. The pneumatic balancing unit further comprises a connecting rod 12 arranged on the inner side of the connecting block 8. One end of the connecting rod 12 is movably connected with an movable rod 15. The movable rod 15 is movably provided with a piston rod 13 at the end away from the connecting rod 12. The piston rod 13 is provided with a roller 16 between the connecting rod 12. The air pressure stabilizer 11 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the top support 10 at a position corresponding to the piston rod 13. The movable rod 15 and the connecting rod 12 are rotatably connected through a pin shaft. The top of the piston rod 13 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the air pressure stabilizer 11. The air inlet of the air pressure stabilizer 11 is throughly connected with the air outlet of the air cylinder 2, and is used for balancing the air pressure of the air cylinder 2.
[0032] The specific process of discharging air by the air pressure balancing unit is that the output shaft of the air cylinder 2 is pressed down, so that the excess air in the air cylinder 2 is discharged to the air inlet of the air pressure stabilizer 11 through the pipeline (not shown in the figure). At this time, the air input into the air pressure stabilizer 11 makes the piston rod 13 in the air pressure stabilizer 11 descend. The bottom end of the piston rod 13 is movably connected between the roller 16 and the movable rod 15, and the movable rod 15 is movably connected with the connecting rod 12. The connecting rod 12 is fixedly embedded in the inner side of the connecting block 8. The connecting block 8 is fixedly connected between the intermediate block 9 and the base 1. When the piston rod 13 descends, the movable rod 15 rotates on the connecting rod 12 around the pin shaft. When the roller 14 is no longer subjected to the pressure of the plate, the air in the air pressure stabilizer 11 again enters the air cylinder 2 according to the law of high pressure to low pressure, so as to balance the air pressure.
[0033] Working principle: when the mechanism transports the plate, the uneven thickness of the plate will drive the corresponding roller 14 to rise due to the mutual contact between the roller 14 and the plate, and the bearing seat 4 where the roller 14 is arranged will also rise, thereby driving the lever seat 5 connected with the output shaft end of the air cylinder 2 to descend, so that the output shaft of the air cylinder 2 presses down, the air in the air cylinder 2 is pressed into the air pressure stabilizer 11, the excess air in the air cylinder 2 is discharged, so as to maintain the air pressure of the air cylinder 2 stable, and provide stable thrust for the roller 14, thereby facilitating the conveying of the plate.
[0034] The basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application.
