Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chain machine technology, specifically to a chain machine transition device. Background Technology
[0002] During logistics transfer, products are typically stacked on pallets and transported automatically via chain conveyors.
[0003] In the current chain conveyor system, the pallet is directly transferred from one machine to the AGV machine during the conveying process. There is no device at the head of the chain conveyor, which can easily cause the pallet to tilt when it passes through this position during the conveying process. The bottom plate of the pallet cannot run smoothly over the position, which affects the conveying efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a transition device for chain conveyors. In current chain conveyors, the pallet is directly transferred from one machine to the AGV machine without any device at the head of the chain conveyor. This easily leads to the pallet tilting when passing through this position, preventing the pallet's bottom plate from moving smoothly and affecting the conveying efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a chain machine transition device, comprising a frame and a chain disposed on the chain machine body, wherein two symmetrically arranged transition mechanisms for transitioning pallets conveyed on the chain are installed and fixed at one end of the chain machine body;
[0006] Each of the aforementioned transition mechanisms includes a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is detachably connected to the side wall of the frame via a mounting mechanism. The side wall of the mounting plate is connected to a moving block via a moving mechanism, and the side wall of the moving block is connected to a rotating plate via an angle adjustment mechanism. The side wall of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft, and the side wall of the fixed shaft is fixedly sleeved with a bearing.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0008] 1. This type of chain conveyor transition device, by setting a transition mechanism, etc., by installing a transition mechanism at the head of the chain conveyor body, the bearing can effectively support the bottom plate of the pallet when the pallet passes through, so that the pallet passing through this position can be transported smoothly, reducing the occurrence of pallet tilting phenomenon and ensuring the conveying effect.
[0009] 2. This type of chain conveyor transition device, through the setting of an angle adjustment mechanism, allows for installation and fixation of the transition mechanism. The mounting plate is fixed to the side wall of the frame, then the button is pulled downwards, and the moving rod pulls the moving disc and insert block downwards, causing the insert block to exit the slot. Simultaneously, the spring is compressed, and the rotating plate rotates. This rotation drives the rotating shaft and fixed ring to rotate synchronously, and also drives the fixed shaft and bearing to rotate, facilitating the adjustment of the bearing height to ensure consistency between the bearing and the chain, thus guaranteeing the conveying effect. After adjustment, the button is released, and the insert block, under the action of the spring, re-inserts into the slot for a more stable and reliable position.
[0010] 3. This type of chain conveyor transition device, through the setting of an angle adjustment mechanism, after the bearing height is adjusted, rotates the rocker wheel. The rotation of the rocker wheel drives the rotation of the threaded rod, which in turn drives the movement of the moving block. The movement of the moving block drives the rotating plate, fixed shaft and bearing to move synchronously through the angle adjustment mechanism. This makes it easier to adjust the distance the bearing extends outward according to the usage requirements, making it more applicable, improving the transition effect and ensuring the conveying effect.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting mechanism includes multiple mounting holes formed on the side wall of the mounting plate, and bolts are inserted into the mounting holes and are threadedly fixed to the side wall of the frame.
[0013] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when it is necessary to install and fix the transition mechanism, the bolts are inserted into the mounting holes and fixed with the side wall threads of the frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a first fixing block and a second fixing block fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate. A sleeve rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixing block. A sleeve is fitted onto the side wall of the sleeve rod, and the other end of the sleeve is fixed to the side wall of the moving block. A threaded pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the side wall of the threaded pipe. The other end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second fixing block, and a rocker wheel is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded rod.
[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that rotating the rocker wheel drives the rotation of the threaded rod, which in turn drives the movement of the moving block. The movement of the moving block drives the rotating plate, fixed shaft and bearing to move synchronously through the angle adjustment mechanism, which makes it easier to adjust the distance the bearing extends outward according to the usage requirements, making it more applicable, improving the transition effect, and thus ensuring the conveying effect.
[0016] Furthermore, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a connecting block fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting block, a rotating plate fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft, and a limiting mechanism for limiting the rotation shaft is provided on the side wall of the moving block.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is to ensure the normal rotation of the rotating plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a fixed ring that is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft, and the side wall of the fixed ring has multiple slots arranged in an array. The side wall of the moving block is connected to a moving disk through a moving component. The top of the moving disk is fixedly connected to an insert block, and the insert block is inserted into the slot.
[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by moving the moving component, the moving disk and the insert block are moved downward, causing the insert block to exit from the slot. Then, the rotating plate is rotated, and the rotation of the rotating plate drives the rotating shaft and the fixed ring to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the fixed shaft and the bearing to rotate. This facilitates the adjustment of the bearing height, ensuring that the bearing and the chain are at the same height, thus ensuring the conveying effect. After the adjustment is completed, the moving component is used to re-insert the insert block into the slot for limiting, making it more stable and reliable.
[0020] Furthermore, the moving component includes a support block fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block, and a moving rod is inserted into the top of the support block, the upper end of the moving rod being fixed to the bottom of the moving disk.
[0021] Furthermore, a button is fixedly connected to the lower end of the moving rod, and a reset component is provided between the moving rod and the support block.
[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that pulling the button moves downward, and the moving rod pulls the moving disk and the insert block downward, so that the insert block is disengaged from the slot, and at the same time, the spring is compressed.
[0023] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a keyway formed on the top of the support block, and a guide bar is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving rod. The guide bar slides within the keyway, and a spring is sleeved on the side wall of the moving rod.
[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it guides and resets the movement of the moving rod. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0033] During logistics transfer, products are typically stacked on pallets and transported automatically via chain conveyors.
[0034] After conducting in-depth investigation and research on the chain conveyor process, the inventor discovered that in the current chain conveyor process, the pallet is directly transferred from one machine to the AGV machine. There is no device at the head of the chain machine, which easily causes the pallet to tilt when passing through this position during the conveyor process. The bottom plate of the pallet cannot run smoothly over the position, which affects the conveying effect.
[0035] The aforementioned problems have not been publicly reported in this field. The inventors discovered the aforementioned problems and designed this technical solution.
[0036] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments.
[0037] like Figures 1-5A chain conveyor transition device includes a frame 101 and a chain 102 mounted on a chain conveyor body 1. Two symmetrically arranged transition mechanisms for transitioning pallets conveyed on the chain 102 are fixedly mounted at one end of the chain conveyor body 1. Each transition mechanism includes a mounting plate 8, which is detachably connected to the side wall of the frame 101 via a mounting mechanism. A moving block 9 is connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 8 via a moving mechanism, and a rotating plate 10 is connected to the side wall of the moving block 9 via an angle adjustment mechanism. A fixed shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 10. Furthermore, a bearing 12 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the fixed shaft 11. By installing a transition mechanism at the head of the chain machine body 1, the bearing 12 can effectively support the bottom plate of the pallet when the pallet passes through, so that the pallet passing through this position can be transported smoothly, reducing the occurrence of pallet tilting and ensuring the conveying effect. At the same time, it is convenient to adjust the height of the bearing 12 to ensure that the height of the bearing 12 is consistent with that of the chain 102. In addition, it is convenient to adjust the distance of the bearing 12 extending outward according to the usage requirements, making it more applicable, with a better transition effect, and thus improving the conveying effect.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting mechanism includes multiple mounting holes 201 opened on the side wall of the mounting plate 8. Bolts 202 are inserted into the mounting holes 201 and are threadedly fixed to the side wall of the frame 101. When it is necessary to install and fix the transition mechanism, the bolts 202 are inserted into the mounting holes 201 and threadedly fixed to the side wall of the frame 101.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the moving mechanism includes a first fixed block 301 and a second fixed block 305 fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 8. A sleeve rod 307 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed block 301. A sleeve 302 is sleeved on the side wall of the sleeve rod 307, and the other end of the sleeve 302 is fixed to the side wall of the moving block 9. A threaded tube 303 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 9, and a threaded rod 304 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the threaded tube 303. The other end of the threaded rod 304 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second fixed block 305, and a rocker wheel 306 is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded rod 304. Rotating the rocker wheel 306 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 304, which in turn drives the moving block 9 to move. The movement of the moving block 9 drives the rotating plate 10, the fixed shaft 11, and the bearing 12 to move synchronously through the angle adjustment mechanism. This allows the bearing 12 to extend outward according to the usage requirements, making it more adaptable, improving the transition effect, and ensuring the conveying effect.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a connecting block 401 fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 9. A rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting block 401. The rotating plate 10 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft 402. The side wall of the moving block 9 is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the rotating shaft 402 to ensure the normal rotation of the rotating plate 10.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a fixed ring 501 fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft 402, and the side wall of the fixed ring 501 has multiple arrayed slots 502. The side wall of the moving block 9 is connected to a moving disk 503 through a moving component. The top of the moving disk 503 is fixedly connected to an insert block 504, and the insert block 504 is inserted into the slot 502. The moving component causes the moving disk 503 and the insert block 504 to move downward, so that the insert block 504 is removed from the slot 502. Then, the rotating plate 10 is rotated. The rotation of the rotating plate 10 drives the rotating shaft 402 and the fixed ring 501 to rotate synchronously, and drives the fixed shaft 11 and the bearing 12 to rotate, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the bearing 12 to ensure that the height of the bearing 12 is consistent with that of the chain 102, ensuring the conveying effect. After the adjustment is completed, the moving component causes the insert block 504 to be inserted back into the slot 502 for limiting, making it more stable and reliable.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the moving component includes a support block 601 fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 9, and a moving rod 602 is inserted into the top of the support block 601. The upper end of the moving rod 602 is fixed to the bottom of the moving disk 503, and a button 603 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the moving rod 602. A reset component is provided between the moving rod 602 and the support block 601. Pulling the button 603 moves it downward, and the moving rod 602 pulls the moving disk 503 and the insert block 504 downward, so that the insert block 504 is removed from the slot 502. At the same time, the spring 703 is compressed.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the reset assembly includes a keyway 701 formed on the top of the support block 601, and a guide bar 702 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving rod 602. The guide bar 702 slides in the keyway 701, and a spring 703 is sleeved on the side wall of the moving rod 602, which guides and resets the movement of the moving rod 602.
[0044] The specific working process of this invention is as follows:
[0045] First, by installing a transition mechanism at the head of the chain machine body 1, the bearing 12 can effectively transport and support the bottom plate of the pallet when the pallet passes through, so that the pallet passing through this position can be transported smoothly, reducing the occurrence of pallet tilting and ensuring the transport effect.
[0046] Meanwhile, when the transition mechanism needs to be installed and fixed, the mounting plate 8 is installed and fixed on the side wall of the frame 101. Then, the button 603 is pulled down, and the moving plate 503 and the insert block 504 are pulled down by the moving rod 602, so that the insert block 504 is removed from the slot 502. At the same time, the spring 703 is compressed. Then, the rotating plate 10 is rotated. The rotation of the rotating plate 10 drives the rotating shaft 402 and the fixed ring 501 to rotate synchronously, and drives the fixed shaft 11 and the bearing 12 to rotate, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the bearing 12, ensuring that the height of the bearing 12 is consistent with that of the chain 102, and ensuring the conveying effect. After the adjustment is completed, the button 603 is released, and the insert block 504 is inserted back into the slot 502 under the action of the spring 703 for limiting, which is more stable and reliable.
[0047] Furthermore, after the height of the bearing 12 is adjusted, the rocker wheel 306 is rotated. The rotation of the rocker wheel 306 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 304, which in turn drives the movement of the moving block 9. The movement of the moving block 9 drives the rotating plate 10, the fixed shaft 11 and the bearing 12 to move synchronously through the angle adjustment mechanism. This makes it easier to adjust the distance the bearing 12 extends outward according to the usage requirements, making it more adaptable and improving the transition effect, thereby ensuring the conveying effect.
[0048] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are specifically reflected in the fact that by installing a transition mechanism at the head of the chain machine body 1, the bearing 12 can effectively support the bottom plate of the pallet when the pallet passes through, so that the pallet passing through this position can be transported smoothly, reducing the occurrence of pallet tilting and ensuring the conveying effect. At the same time, it is convenient to adjust the height of the bearing 12 to ensure that the height of the bearing 12 is consistent with that of the chain 102. Furthermore, it is convenient to adjust the distance the bearing 12 extends outward according to the usage requirements, making it more applicable, improving the transition effect, and thus improving the conveying effect.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
