Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sorting and packaging equipment, and more particularly to a transverse tumbling longitudinal conveyor belt shaft and conveying module for block materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for fruits and vegetables is constantly increasing, and sorting is a crucial step in ensuring their quality. Modern fruit and vegetable sorting equipment has become an essential tool for fruit and vegetable production enterprises, and the development prospects of the fruit and vegetable sorting equipment industry are very broad. As consumers' requirements for fruit and vegetable quality increase, the demand for fruit and vegetable sorting equipment will continue to rise. With the continuous advancement of technology, the functions and performance of fruit and vegetable sorting equipment will also be continuously enhanced, better meeting consumer needs. Fruit and vegetable sorting is not only about picking out size and damage, but also about color, blemishes, and freshness. However, to meet these requirements, the equipment must use vision technology to collect and analyze images of the appearance of fruits and vegetables (including tubers). How to achieve multi-position surface display of fruits and vegetables (including tubers) during machine conveying, and enable multi-angle imaging by cameras, is a key component of the equipment structure. Currently, fruits, vegetables, and root vegetables tend to clump together after being placed on the sorting conveyor belt, and cannot be evenly distributed on the conveyor belt surface, failing to meet the requirements of all-round video detection. In addition, some current equipment mainly uses vibration and rotation to achieve this function, but its drawback is that the conveying speed cannot meet the requirements, which affects the sorting efficiency of the entire equipment. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0026] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] As shown in the figure, the present invention includes a power hub shaft 9, a helical shaft 8, and a dispersing conveyor roller installed between the power hub shaft 9 and the helical shaft 8, which are arranged opposite to each other. The dispersing conveyor roller includes a hollow drum 1 and a plurality of toothed belts 2 arranged on its surface along the axial direction of the hollow drum 1. Each toothed belt 2 is circumferentially distributed on the surface of the hollow drum 1 and can rotate along the axial direction of the hollow drum 1. The power hub shaft 9 is connected to one end of the hollow drum 1, and the helical shaft 8 meshes with each toothed belt 2. The helical shaft 8 is a trapezoidal transmission helix, with one end engaging with a bushing on the support plate 3 for rotation, and the outer helical teeth at the other end meshing with the inner helix (intermittently) formed by the plurality of toothed belts 2 on the rotating shaft. By using a solid helical wheel to mesh with non-metallic toothed soft belts, a new form of mechanical transmission is created.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, preferably, the hollow roller 1 has multiple elongated grooves 7 along its axial direction on its surface, and each toothed belt 2 is located within the elongated groove 7 of the hollow roller 1. In this example, roller shafts 6 are respectively arranged at both ends of the hollow roller 1 relative to the positions of each toothed belt 2, and the two roller shafts 6 are located at both ends of the toothed belt 2 to support the rotation of the toothed belt 2. A roller shaft support 12 is provided outside the spiral shaft 8, and the roller shaft support 12 is located near one end of the hollow roller 1. The roller shafts 6 located at one end of the spiral shaft 8 are respectively installed inside the roller shaft support 12 for installing and positioning the roller shafts 6; a tensioning disc 11 is provided outside the power hub shaft 9, and the roller shafts 6 located at one end of the power hub shaft 9 are respectively installed on the tensioning disc 11. The power hub shaft 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow roller 1 through the tensioning disc 11 and tensioning bolts 10.

[0030] Specifically, several evenly distributed rollers 6 are installed at both ends of the hollow drum 1. The small roller 6 at one end is embedded in the groove of the roller support 12, and the small roller 6 at the other end is embedded in the groove of the tensioning disc 11. The number and position of the rollers 6 are the same as those of the toothed belts 2 and correspond one-to-one. A sufficient number of toothed belts 2 surround the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow drum 1 to form a closed rotation.

[0031] In addition, support plates 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the dispersive conveying roller, and the power hub shaft 9 and the spiral shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the support plates 3. The power hub shaft 9 is connected to the roller power input mechanism 5, and the spiral shaft 8 is connected to the toothed belt power input mechanism 4. The toothed belt power input mechanism 4 and the roller power input mechanism 5 are two power sources, which can adjust the speed of longitudinal conveying and transverse rolling at any time to meet the material conveying requirements of various speed ratios.

[0032] Meanwhile, the present invention also discloses a block material transverse tumbling longitudinal conveying module, based on the aforementioned block material transverse tumbling longitudinal conveying belt shaft, comprising: a roller rotation unit, including a hollow roller 1 and a power hub shaft 9 connected to one end of the hollow roller 1; an axial transmission unit, including a plurality of toothed belts 2 arranged axially on the surface of the hollow roller 1 and a spiral shaft 8 meshing with each toothed belt 2; and a drive unit, including a roller power input mechanism 5 connected to the power hub shaft 9 for driving the hollow roller 1 to rotate, and a toothed belt power input mechanism 4 connected to the spiral shaft 8 for driving the toothed belts 2 to drive the axial transmission along the surface of the hollow roller 1.

[0033] The implementation principle of the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0034] Each of the multiple toothed belts 2 is installed one-to-one into the long groove 7 of the hollow roller 1, with both ends supported by small roller shafts 6. The tensioned toothed belts 2 form a spiral internal tooth cavity with intermittent gaps, and the inner side (planar side) of the toothed belts 2 is tightly attached to the inner sides of both ends of the hollow roller 1. A spiral shaft 8, matching the spiral internal tooth cavity formed by the toothed belts 2, is installed at one end of the hollow roller 1, creating a rotational engagement with the toothed belts 2. When the spiral shaft 8 rotates, the belt can rotate around the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow roller 1. The power hub shaft 9 at the other end is connected to the hollow roller 1, transmitting power to the hollow roller 1 through the roller power input mechanism 5. Driving the shaft head enables the rotation of the entire hollow roller 1, thus allowing the shaft to satisfy both longitudinal and circumferential movement. Multiple shafts can be matched to form N-1 conveying channels. The rotation of the belts and the rotation of the hollow shafts can be driven separately, or a matching speed between the two movements can be found and a single drive can be used.

[0035] This invention features a scientifically sound and easily implemented structure with low energy consumption and zero noise. It utilizes a spiral solid wheel meshing with a non-metallic toothed soft belt, pioneering a new form of mechanical transmission. This allows the conveyed block to move longitudinally while simultaneously rotating, ensuring uniform material distribution on the conveyor belt to meet the requirement of full visual surface coverage. This provides strong support for the development of the fruit and vegetable sorting equipment industry. Furthermore, compared to current vibrating longitudinal conveying methods, this invention offers longer conveying distances, higher equipment reliability, and independent operation. It is highly adaptable to other equipment and can be used as a standard component in various scenarios, demonstrating significant application and promotion value.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
