Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveyors, and more specifically, to a conveyor with an adjustable conveying surface width. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are widely used in various industries such as home appliances, food, coal mining, electronics, electrical appliances, and machinery. However, the width of existing belt conveyors is generally fixed, thus limiting their capacity to transport items within the belt's width. If the size of the items changes, such as increasing in size, existing belt conveyors cannot adapt accordingly, making it difficult to meet the demands of current production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveyor with an adjustable conveying surface width, which solves the problem that existing belt conveyors cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the items.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a conveyor with an adjustable conveying surface width. The conveyor includes a frame, a conveyor belt rotatably mounted on the frame, a base slidably mounted on the frame, and auxiliary conveyor belts hinged to both sides of the frame. A drive cylinder is mounted on the frame, one end of which is hinged to the base and the other end to the auxiliary conveyor belt. Sliding the base can move the auxiliary conveyor belt closer to or away from the main conveyor belt. The upper surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt is recessed inward to form a groove, and a bolt is rotatably mounted in the groove. One end of the bolt is rotatably equipped with a first locking block, and the other end is fixed with a second locking block. A connector is provided on the conveyor belt, and rotating the bolt can fix the auxiliary conveyor belt to the main conveyor belt.

[0005] Preferably, a first rotating roller is provided at one end of the frame and a second rotating roller is provided at the other end. One end of the conveyor belt is sleeved on the first rotating roller and the other end is sleeved on the second rotating roller.

[0006] Preferably, the base is provided with a bracket, the bracket is provided with a hinge seat, one end of the hinge rod is hinged to the hinge seat, and the other end is fixed to the auxiliary conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating drum is provided in the groove, the rotating drum is connected to the auxiliary conveyor belt, and the bolt is located inside the rotating drum.

[0008] Preferably, the bolt is provided with a spring, one end of which is connected to the first locking block and the other end of which is connected to the second locking block.

[0009] Preferably, a cylinder is provided on the frame, and the push rod of the cylinder is connected to the base.

[0013] This invention provides a conveyor with an adjustable conveying surface width. The conveyor includes a frame, a conveyor belt rotatably mounted on the frame, and a base slidably mounted on the frame. Secondary conveyor belts are hinged to both sides of the frame. A drive cylinder is mounted on the frame, with one end hinged to the base and the other end hinged to the secondary conveyor belt. Sliding the base moves the secondary conveyor belt closer to or away from the main conveyor belt. The upper surface of the secondary conveyor belt is recessed inward to form a groove, within which a bolt is rotatably mounted. One end of the bolt has a first locking block rotatably mounted, and the other end is fixed to a second locking block. A connector is mounted on the conveyor belt. Rotating the bolt fixes the secondary conveyor belt to the main conveyor belt. When using this device, the drive cylinder needs to be started first. A pneumatic cylinder drives the auxiliary conveyor belt to rotate 90 degrees. During this rotation, the auxiliary conveyor belt rotates the hinge rod on the support frame, providing support for the auxiliary conveyor belt. Then, the pneumatic cylinder is activated, causing the base to shift and allowing the first and second locking blocks on the auxiliary conveyor belt to align with the connector on the conveyor belt. Next, the bolt is rotated, causing the bolt to move the second locking block closer to the first locking block, thus fixing the connector on the first and second locking blocks (after the first and second locking blocks fix the connector, the bolt is located in a groove, allowing the conveyor belt to rotate the bolt within the groove). This simple structure allows the width of the conveyor belt's conveying surface to be adjusted according to different situations, facilitating both adjustment and storage of the conveyor belt.
