Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production line technology for post-processing of electrolytic manganese (zinc) cathode plates, specifically to a feeding device for a double-suspended conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automated production lines for the post-processing of electrolytic manganese (zinc) cathode plates are all single-line systems, meaning that each process only processes one cathode plate, making it difficult to improve production efficiency. Increasing the number of production lines to improve efficiency and capacity would increase investment and require more space, which is not feasible for manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material loading and unloading device for a double-suspended conveyor line, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A loading and unloading device for a double-suspended conveyor line includes a front conveying mechanism, a transition conveying mechanism, a first receiving conveying mechanism, and a second receiving conveying mechanism. A loading and unloading rotating arm is provided between the front conveying mechanism and the transition conveying mechanism. The conveying chain of the front conveying mechanism is provided with a plurality of feeding V-shaped blocks. The free end of the loading and unloading rotating arm is provided with a receiving V-shaped block. Both the feeding V-shaped block and the receiving V-shaped block include two V-shaped blocks arranged side by side. During the rotation of the loading and unloading rotating arm, the cathode plate on the feeding V-shaped block is removed through the receiving V-shaped block.

[0006] The transition conveying mechanism includes a first receiving position V-block and a second receiving position V-block. The first receiving position V-block is mounted on a fixed frame. There are several second receiving position V-blocks, which are spaced apart on the conveying chain of the transition conveying mechanism. When the second receiving position V-block moves to the receiving position, the receiving part V-block of the loading and unloading rotating arm transfers the cathode plate to the first receiving position V-block and the second receiving position V-block.

[0007] A first rotating feeding arm is provided between the first receiving conveying mechanism and the first receiving position V-block. The first rotating feeding arm conveys the cathode plate on the first receiving position V-block to the first receiving conveying mechanism. A second rotating feeding arm is provided between the second receiving conveying mechanism and the second receiving position V-block. The second rotating feeding arm conveys the cathode plate on the second receiving position V-block to the second receiving conveying mechanism.

[0008] In this technical solution, the conveyor chain of the front conveyor mechanism continuously conveys the cathode plates until they reach a position near the loading / unloading rotating arm. The loading / unloading rotating arm then removes the cathode plates from the front conveyor mechanism. Since both the feeding V-block and the receiving V-block include two V-blocks arranged side-by-side, the loading / unloading rotating arm can transfer two cathode plates at once. The first and second receiving V-blocks are primarily designed to facilitate the simultaneous transfer of both cathode plates to the first and second receiving V-blocks by the loading / unloading rotating arm. The first receiving V-block is mounted on a fixed frame, meaning its position is fixed. This allows the first rotary feeding arm to easily transport the cathode plate from the first receiving V-block to the first receiving conveyor mechanism. Since there are several second receiving V-blocks spaced apart on the conveyor chain of the transition conveyor mechanism, after the cathode plate is transferred to the second receiving V-block, it continues to be conveyed forward until it reaches a position close to the second receiving conveyor mechanism. At this point, the second rotary feeding arm transports the cathode plate from the second receiving V-block to the second receiving conveyor mechanism. Compared to the traditional single-line cathode plate conveying method, this device can simultaneously connect two receiving conveyor mechanisms, thus improving the efficiency of the cathode plate downstream processing line.

[0009] Furthermore, during the rotation of the loading and unloading rotating arm, the opening of the V-shaped block of the receiving part always faces upward; during the rotation of the first rotating feeding arm and the second rotating feeding arm, the opening of the V-shaped block at the free end of the first rotating feeding arm and the second rotating feeding arm always faces upward.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to provide a simple structure that ensures the opening of the V-block remains upward during the swing of the rotating arm, the loading / unloading rotating arm, the first rotating feeding arm, and the second rotating feeding arm each include a rotating arm, a drive shaft, a bearing housing, a fixed gear, a first moving gear, a second moving gear, and a receiving V-block. The drive shaft is connected to the bearing housing via a bearing, and the free end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating arm. The fixed gear, the first moving gear, and the second moving gear mesh sequentially along the length of the rotating arm. The receiving V-block is fixedly connected to the second moving gear. Both the first and second moving gears are rotatably connected to the rotating arm. The fixed gear is fixedly connected to the bearing housing via a bushing, and the axis of the fixed gear is aligned with the axis of the drive shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to provide a specific receiving and conveying mechanism, the conveying directions of the first receiving and conveying mechanism and the second receiving and conveying mechanism are both perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transition conveying mechanism. The conveyor belts of the first receiving and conveying mechanism and the second receiving and conveying mechanism are each equipped with receiving hooks. The first rotating feeding arm and the second rotating feeding arm respectively convey the cathode plate to the corresponding receiving hook.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of cathode plate transfer, the loading and unloading rotary arm includes two symmetrically arranged loading and unloading rotary arms.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of cathode plate transfer, the first rotary feed arm includes two symmetrically arranged first rotary feed arms.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of cathode plate transfer, the second rotary feed arm includes two symmetrically arranged second rotary feed arms.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this technical solution, the conveyor chain of the front conveying mechanism continuously conveys the cathode plate until it reaches a position close to the loading / unloading rotating arm of the front conveying mechanism. The loading / unloading rotating arm then removes the cathode plate from the front conveying mechanism. Since both the feeding V-block and the receiving V-block include two V-blocks arranged side by side, the loading / unloading rotating arm can transfer two cathode plates at once. The arrangement of the first receiving position V-block and the second receiving position V-block is mainly to facilitate the loading / unloading rotating arm to simultaneously transfer two cathode plates to the first receiving position V-block and the second receiving position V-block. In this design, the first receiving V-shaped block is mounted on a fixed frame, meaning its position is fixed. This allows the first rotating feeding arm to easily transport the cathode plate from the first receiving V-shaped block to the first receiving conveyor mechanism. Since there are several second receiving V-shaped blocks spaced apart on the conveyor chain of the transition conveyor mechanism, after the cathode plate is transferred to the second receiving V-shaped block, it continues to be conveyed forward until it reaches a position close to the second receiving conveyor mechanism. At this point, the second rotating feeding arm transports the cathode plate from the second receiving V-shaped block to the second receiving conveyor mechanism. Compared to the traditional single-line cathode plate conveying method, this device can simultaneously connect two receiving conveyor mechanisms, thus improving the efficiency of the cathode plate downstream processing line.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a double-suspended conveyor line loading and unloading device, including a front conveying mechanism 1, a transition conveying mechanism 2, a first receiving conveying mechanism 3, and a second receiving conveying mechanism 4. A loading and unloading rotating arm 5 is provided between the front conveying mechanism 1 and the transition conveying mechanism 2. A plurality of feeding V-blocks 6 are provided on the conveying chain of the front conveying mechanism 1. A receiving V-block 7 is provided at the free end of the loading and unloading rotating arm 5. Both the feeding V-block 6 and the receiving V-block 7 include two V-blocks arranged side by side. During the rotation of the loading and unloading rotating arm 5, the cathode plate 8 on the feeding V-block 6 is removed through the receiving V-block 7.

[0025] The transition conveying mechanism 2 includes a first receiving position V-block 9 and a second receiving position V-block 10. The first receiving position V-block 9 is mounted on a fixed frame (not shown in the figure). There are several second receiving position V-blocks 10, which are spaced apart on the conveying chain of the transition conveying mechanism 2. When the second receiving position V-block 10 moves to the receiving position, the receiving part V-block 7 of the loading and unloading rotating arm 5 transfers the cathode plate 8 to the first receiving position V-block 9 and the second receiving position V-block 10.

[0026] A first rotating feeding arm 11 is provided between the first receiving conveying mechanism 3 and the first receiving position V-block 9. The first rotating feeding arm 11 conveys the cathode plate 8 on the first receiving position V-block 9 to the first receiving conveying mechanism 3. A second rotating feeding arm 12 is provided between the second receiving conveying mechanism 4 and the second receiving position V-block 10. The second rotating feeding arm 12 conveys the cathode plate 8 on the second receiving position V-block 10 to the second receiving conveying mechanism 4.

[0027] In this technical solution, the conveyor chain of the front conveying mechanism 1 continuously conveys the cathode plate 8 until it reaches a position close to the loading / unloading rotating arm 5. The loading / unloading rotating arm 5 then removes the cathode plate 8 from the front conveying mechanism 1. Since both the feeding V-block 6 and the receiving V-block 7 include two V-blocks arranged side by side, the loading / unloading rotating arm 5 can transfer two cathode plates 8 at once. The first receiving position V-block 9 and the second receiving position V-block 10 are mainly for the convenience of the loading / unloading rotating arm 5 to simultaneously transfer two cathode plates to the first receiving position V-block 9 and the second receiving position V-block 10. V-block 9 is mounted on a fixed frame (not shown in the figure), meaning the position of the first receiving position V-block 9 is fixed. This allows the first rotating feeding arm 11 to easily transport the cathode plate 8 from the first receiving position V-block 9 to the first receiving conveyor mechanism 3. Since there are several second receiving position V-blocks 10 spaced apart on the conveyor chain of the transition conveyor mechanism 2, after the cathode plate 8 is transferred to the second receiving position V-block 10, it will continue to be conveyed forward until it moves close to the second receiving conveyor mechanism 4. At this point, the second rotating feeding arm 12 transports the cathode plate 8 from the second receiving position V-block 10 to the second receiving conveyor mechanism 4. Compared to the traditional single-line cathode plate conveying method, this device can simultaneously match two receiving conveyor mechanisms, thereby improving the efficiency of the cathode plate 8 downstream processing line.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0030] During the rotation of the loading and unloading rotating arm 5, the opening of the receiving part V-shaped block 7 always faces upward; during the rotation of the first rotating feeding arm 11 and the second rotating feeding arm 12, the opening of the V-shaped block at the free end of the first rotating feeding arm 11 and the second rotating feeding arm 12 always faces upward.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 2.

[0033] To provide a simple structure that ensures the opening of the V-block 10 remains upward during the swing of the rotating arm 19, the loading / unloading rotating arm 5, the first rotating feeding arm 11, and the second rotating feeding arm 12 all include a rotating arm 19, a drive shaft (not shown in the figure), a bearing seat 15, a fixed gear 16, a first moving gear 17, a second moving gear 18, and a receiving V-block 7. The drive shaft is connected to the bearing seat 15 via a bearing, and the free end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating arm 19. The fixed gear 16, the first moving gear 17, and the second moving gear 18 mesh sequentially along the length of the rotating arm 19. The receiving V-block 7 is fixedly connected to the second moving gear 18. Both the first moving gear 17 and the second moving gear 18 are rotatably connected to the rotating arm 19 via bearings. The fixed gear 16 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 15 via a bushing 20, and the axis of the fixed gear 16 is aligned with the axis of the drive shaft.

[0034] Specifically, since the free end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating arm 19, and the drive shaft is driven by the motor 21, the rotating arm 19 rotates around the drive shaft. During this process, since the fixed gear 16 is fixedly mounted on the bearing seat 15 through the bushing 20, the fixed gear 16 does not rotate. Since the first moving gear 17 and the second moving gear 18 are rotatably connected to the rotating arm 19, the first moving gear 17 will rotate around the fixed gear 16 during the rotation of the rotating arm 19. At the same time, the first moving gear 17 drives the second moving gear 18 to rotate, thereby adjusting the V-shaped opening direction of the V-shaped block 7 of the material docking section.

[0035] Example 4:

[0036] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0037] In order to provide a specific material receiving and conveying mechanism, the conveying direction of the first material receiving and conveying mechanism 3 and the second material receiving and conveying mechanism 4 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transition conveying mechanism 2. The conveyor belts of the first material receiving and conveying mechanism 3 and the second material receiving and conveying mechanism 4 are provided with material receiving hooks 13. The first rotating feeding arm 11 and the second rotating feeding arm 12 respectively convey the cathode plate 8 to the corresponding material receiving hooks 13.

[0038] Example 5:

[0039] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0040] To improve the stability of cathode plate 8 transfer, the loading and unloading rotating arm 5 includes two symmetrically arranged loading and unloading rotating arms 5.

[0041] Example 6:

[0042] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0043] To improve the stability of cathode plate 8 transfer, the first rotary feeding arm 11 includes two symmetrically arranged first rotary feeding arms 11.

[0044] Example 7:

[0045] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0046] To improve the stability of cathode plate 8 transfer, the second rotary feed arm 12 includes two symmetrically arranged second rotary feed arms 12.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
