Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to plate chain conveyors, specifically a plate chain conveyor for industrial production, and belongs to the field of conveyor technology. Background Technology

[0002] Plate chain conveyors, also known as chain conveyor lines, are conveying machines that use a circulating chain as the traction element and metal plates as the conveying carrier. They are widely applicable, have a large conveying capacity, can transport materials over long distances, and can perform various processing steps such as sorting, freezing, drying, and assembly during the conveying process. They are widely used in various industrial production applications. Currently, plate chain conveyors typically use a motor to drive gears and chains, which in turn move the material-laden plates to transport materials.

[0003] However, traditional plate chain conveyors cannot automatically unload materials onto the lower material plates, resulting in unidirectional material transport using only the upper plates, leaving the lower plates idle and wasting resources. For example, application number CN101683921A describes a conveyor with a base and a frame above it. The frame contains two rectangular, parallel wall panels, each with a shaft at both ends. The two shafts are parallel and mounted on the wall panels at both ends. Each shaft has a sprocket at one end, and a conveyor chain is fitted between the sprockets at the same end of each shaft. This type of plate chain conveyor has no application limitations. Using this type of conveyor can reduce energy consumption and production costs, and is suitable for short-distance transport of large or heavy workpieces. However, this device can only transport materials from the upper end; the lower material plates are unusable.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plate chain conveyor for industrial production in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a plate chain conveyor for industrial production, comprising two protective plates, each of which has a first baffle fixedly connected to its opposite face; a plurality of drive shafts rotatably connected between the two protective plates; chains meshing with drive gears on both sides of the plurality of drive shafts; a fixing component fixedly connected to each link of the chain; a rotating component rotatably connected to the end of the fixing component near the protective plate; a reset component fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating component; the reset component slidably connected to the fixing component; a limit plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate; a forward steering adjustment structure engaged with the limit plate; a reverse steering adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the end of the forward steering adjustment structure near the material plate; and a material plate fixedly connected to the middle of the forward steering adjustment structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the forward steering adjustment structure includes a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the material plate. A first gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft, and a first rack meshes with the lower end of the first gear. The first rack is fixedly connected to the protective plate, and the first gear is located between the rotating shaft and the reverse steering adjustment mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the reverse adjustment mechanism includes a second gear, the upper end of which meshes with a third gear, the third gear being fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the lower end of the second gear meshing with a second rack, the second rack being fixedly connected to a protective plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a rotating rod, with a fixed shaft and a push rod fixedly connected to its upper and lower ends respectively. The push rod is located above the fixed shaft, and a limit ring is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod near the fixed shaft. The push rod is slidably sleeved with the rotating rod, and the protective plate is movably connected to the rotating rod through a second baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a movable block, and a support plate is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block away from the positive steering adjustment structure. Multiple compression springs are fixedly connected between the support plate and the fixing assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a fixing base plate, and a first side plate and a second side plate are fixedly connected to the top of the fixing base plate respectively. The first side plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the second side plate is slidably sleeved with the moving block. A fixing rod is engaged with the upper end of the second side plate through a groove, and the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the material plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating shaft has a limiting groove, which engages with a limiting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the second side plate is provided with a sliding groove, which is slidably connected to the push rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating rod has a slot, which is slidably engaged with the push rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the tooth groove of the second rack is located to the right of the tooth groove of the first rack, and the length of the tooth groove of both the second rack and the first rack is one-quarter of the circumference of the rotating shaft.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention, by setting a forward steering adjustment structure, includes a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to a material plate. A first gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft, and a first rack meshes with the lower end of the first gear. The first rack is fixedly connected to a protective plate. The first gear is located between the rotating shaft and the reverse steering adjustment mechanism. When the first gear encounters the first rack, the first gear rotates, causing the material plate to rotate along the rotating shaft as the axis until the material plate is completely tilted up. The same principle applies when the material plate moves to the lower end, thus facilitating the tilting of the material plate and achieving the purpose of using the lower end of the plate chain conveyor.

[0017] This invention provides a reverse adjustment mechanism, which includes a second gear, a third gear meshing at the upper end of the second gear, the third gear being fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a second rack meshing at the lower end of the second gear, the second rack being fixedly connected to a protective plate. When the second gear encounters the second rack, the second gear rotates and the third gear rotates, thereby causing the material plate to reverse, thus facilitating the reset of the material plate.

[0018] This invention features a rotating assembly comprising a rotating rod with a fixed shaft and a push rod fixedly connected to its upper and lower ends, respectively. The push rod is positioned above the fixed shaft, and a limit ring is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod closest to the fixed shaft. The push rod and the rotating rod are slidably connected. A protective plate is movably connected to the rotating rod via a second baffle. When the second baffle encounters the rotating rod, it begins to rotate along the fixed shaft, causing the moving block to move. At this time, the fixed rod can leave the second side plate, thus facilitating the fixing of the fixed rod. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an industrial chain conveyor includes two protective plates 1. A first baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two protective plates 1. Multiple drive shafts 5 are rotatably connected between the two protective plates 1. Chains 4 are meshed with both sides of the multiple drive shafts 5 via drive gears 6. Each link of the chain 4 is fixedly connected to a fixing component 9. A rotating component 10 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixing component 9 closest to the protective plate 1. A reset component 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating component 10. The reset component 13 is slidably connected to the fixing component 9. A limit plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate 1. A forward steering adjustment structure 7 is engaged with the limit plate 12. A reverse steering adjustment mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the forward steering adjustment structure 7 closest to the material plate 2. The material plate 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the forward steering adjustment structure 7.

[0033] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the forward steering adjustment structure 7 includes a rotating shaft 701, which is fixedly connected to the material plate 2. A first gear 702 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 701, and a first rack 703 meshes with the lower end of the first gear 702. The first rack 703 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 1. The first gear 702 is located between the rotating shaft 701 and the reverse steering adjustment mechanism 8. When the first gear 702 on the rotating shaft 701 encounters the first rack 703, the first rack 703 meshes with the first gear 702, driving the rotating shaft 701 to rotate and rotating the material plate 2 along the rotating shaft 701. The length of the first rack 703 is equal to one-quarter of the circumference of the first gear 702, which facilitates lifting the material plate 2 by 90°.

[0034] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the reverse adjustment mechanism 8 includes a second gear 801, with a third gear 802 meshing at the upper end of the second gear 801. The third gear 802 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 701, and a second rack 803 meshes at the lower end of the second gear 801. The second rack 803 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 1. After the material plate 2 rotates to 90°, the limiting groove 7011 on the rotating shaft 701 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 12, keeping the material plate 2 at 90°. When the limiting groove 7011 on the rotating shaft 701 leaves the limiting plate 12, the second gear 801 encounters the second rack 803 and begins to rotate. Then, the second gear 801 drives the third gear 802 to rotate, achieving the purpose of reversing the rotating shaft 701 and moving the material plate 2 to the fixed component 9 to complete the reset.

[0035] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the rotating component 10 includes a rotating rod 1002. The upper and lower ends of the rotating rod 1002 are respectively fixedly connected to a fixed shaft 1001 and a push rod 1003. The push rod 1003 is located above the fixed shaft 1001. A limit ring 1004 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 1003 near the fixed shaft 1001. The push rod 1003 is slidably sleeved with the rotating rod 1002. The protective plate 1 is movably connected to the rotating rod 1002 through a second baffle 11. Before the first gear 702 encounters the first rack 703, the second baffle 11 encounters the rotating rod 1002, causing the rotating rod 1002 to rotate, moving the push rod 1003 to the left and causing the moving block 1301 to move to the left, thus facilitating the movement of the moving block 1301 to the left.

[0036] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the reset assembly 13 includes a moving block 1301. A support plate 1303 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 1301 away from the positive steering adjustment structure 7. Multiple compression springs 1302 are fixedly connected between the support plate 1303 and the fixed assembly 9. After the moving block 1301 moves to the left, the material plate 2 is reset after the second gear 801 rotates the second rack 803. Since the rotating rod 1002 is not under pressure, the support plate 1303 on the rear side of the moving block 1301 is driven by the elastic force of the compression springs 1302 to move the moving block 1301 to the right, and the fixed rod 14 is locked inside the second side plate 903, which facilitates the fixing and loosening of the fixed rod 14.

[0037] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the fixing component 9 includes a fixing base plate 901. A first side plate 902 and a second side plate 903 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixing base plate 901. The first side plate 902 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 701, and the second side plate 903 is slidably sleeved with the moving block 1301. A fixing rod 14 is clamped to the upper end of the second side plate 903 through a groove. The fixing rod 14 is fixedly connected to the material plate 2. The second side plate 903 supports the fixing rod 14, and the first side plate 902 fixes the rotating shaft 701.

[0038] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the rotating shaft 701 is provided with a limiting groove 7011, which is engaged with the limiting plate 12. After the material plate 2 rotates to 90°, the limiting groove 7011 on the rotating shaft 701 is slidably connected with the limiting plate 12, thereby achieving the effect of keeping the material plate 2 at 90°.

[0039] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the second side plate 903 is provided with a slide groove 9031, which is slidably connected to the push rod 1003. The push rod 1003 slides along the slide groove 9031, thereby driving the moving block 1301 to move, which facilitates the sliding of the moving block 1301.

[0040] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the rotating rod 1002 is provided with a slot 10021, which is slidably connected to the push rod 1003. The rotating rod 1002 rotates under the push of the second baffle 11 and rotates along the fixed shaft 1001. The push rod 1003 slides along the slot 10021, which facilitates the left and right movement of the push rod 1003.

[0041] As an optimized solution for a plate chain conveyor used in industrial production according to the present invention, the tooth groove of the second rack 803 is located to the right of the tooth groove of the first rack 703. The lengths of the tooth grooves of the second rack 803 and the first rack 703 are both one-quarter of the circumference of the rotating shaft 701. The length of the first rack 703 is one-quarter of the length of the first gear 702, and the length of the second rack 803 is one-quarter of the length of the first rack 703. By adjusting the lengths of the first rack 703 and the second rack 803, the purpose of rotating the first gear 702 and the second gear 801 by only 90° is achieved.

[0042] In use, the operator first starts the motor, which drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, and then drives the chain 4 to rotate. The chain 4 rotates, causing the fixing component 9 to rotate. When the first gear 702 on the rotating shaft 701 encounters the first rack 703, the first rack 703 meshes with the first gear 702, driving the rotating shaft 701 to rotate. This rotates the material plate 2 along the rotating shaft 701. After the material plate 2 rotates to 90°, the limiting groove 7011 on the rotating shaft 701 slides with the limiting plate 12, keeping the material plate 2 at 90°. Before the first gear 702 encounters the first rack 703, the second baffle 11 encounters the rotating rod 1002, causing the rotating rod 1002 to rotate. This moves the push rod 1003 to the left, causing the moving block 1301 to move to the left, facilitating the movement of the material plate. The purpose of moving block 1301 to the left is to release the fixing rod 14. When the limiting groove 7011 on the rotating shaft 701 leaves the limiting plate 12, the second gear 801 encounters the second rack 803 and begins to rotate. Then, the second gear 801 drives the third gear 802 to rotate, achieving the effect of returning the material plate 2 to the fixing component 9. After the moving block 1301 moves to the left, when the second gear 801 rotates the second rack 803, the material plate 2 is reset. Since the rotating rod 1002 is not under pressure, the support plate 1303 on the rear side of the moving block 1301 is driven by the elastic force of the compression spring 1302 to move the moving block 1301 to the right, locking the fixing rod 14 inside the second side plate 903. When the material plate 2 moves to the lower end, the same principle applies as the upper end, releasing the material on the material plate 2.
