Detailed Implementation

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0046] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a belt conveyor for logistics, the belt conveyor for logistics comprising:

[0047] Support frame 1;

[0048] A conveying assembly, which is mounted on the support frame 1;

[0049] A cleaning component for cleaning the surface of the conveying component, the cleaning component is mounted on a support frame 1 and is located below the conveying component;

[0050] The system also includes an interval mechanism, which comprises a receiving box 10 and a guide platform 11.

[0051] In embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is primarily applicable to the transportation of large quantities of parcels of the same specifications. During use, workers can place the packaged parcels into the receiving box 10. The intermittent component can push the parcels out of the receiving box 10 one by one, and push them to move at equal intervals on the guide table 11. When the parcels move to the discharge section 13, they will fall onto the conveying component under their own weight, thus preventing accumulation on the conveying component. The cleaning component cleans the surface of the conveying component, keeping it clean and preventing parcel contamination. The receiving box 10 has a rectangular hole on the side near the guide table 11 for a single parcel to pass through. Compared to existing technologies, the present invention, through the coordinated arrangement of the conveying component, cleaning component, and intermittent mechanism, avoids the problem of parcels accumulating on the conveyor belt 15 during use in existing logistics belt conveyors. Furthermore, most existing conveyors lack cleaning functions, and after long-term use, stains easily accumulate on the conveyor belt 15, presenting certain limitations.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying assembly includes:

[0053] Side plate 14, two sets of which are fixedly installed on the support frame 1;

[0054] Support roller 16, multiple sets of support roller 16 are rotatably installed between two sets of side plates 14, and a second motor 17 for driving one set of support roller 16 to rotate is also fixedly installed on the side plates 14.

[0055] And a conveyor belt 15 located on the support roller 16, the conveyor belt 15 being in contact with the cleaning assembly.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second motor 17 drives the support roller 16 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 15 to move and thus realizing the conveying function.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 -and Figure 4 The intermittent component includes:

[0058] A support plate 7 is fixedly installed on the support frame 1. The support plate 7 is located below the guide table 11, and a movable plate 8 is also slidably installed on the support plate 7.

[0059] A drive assembly for driving the movable plate 8 to reciprocate on the support plate 7, the drive assembly being mounted on the support frame 1 and also connected to the cleaning assembly;

[0060] Multiple sets of push rods 9 are rotatably mounted on the movable plate 8 via the first rotating shaft 26, and the multiple sets of push rods 9 are equally spaced.

[0061] And linkage components, used for connecting multiple sets of first rotating shafts 26;

[0062] The push rod 9 has an L-shaped structure, and the mass of the push rod 9 on the side closer to the moving plate 8 is greater than the mass of the push rod 9 on the side closer to the guide table 11.

[0063] The linkage includes a first gear 28 and a second rack 27. The second rack 27 is slidably mounted on the movable plate 8, and the first gear 28 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 26. The first gear 28 meshes with the second rack 27.

[0064] The driving component includes:

[0065] The first motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1 via the base plate 3, and a drive arm 5 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 4.

[0066] The third upright plate 37 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 8, and the support plate 7 has a strip hole for the movable plate 8 to pass through.

[0067] Driven arm 6, one end of which is rotatably connected to drive arm 5, and the other end of driven arm 6 is rotatably connected to third vertical plate 37 via second rotating shaft 29;

[0068] The guide table 11 is also provided with a limiting component, which includes a limiting plate 12. A threaded rod is rotatably installed on the limiting plate 12. The end of the threaded rod away from the limiting plate 12 is threadedly connected to the guide table 11, and an adjustment knob 25 is also fixedly installed on the threaded rod.

[0069] In this embodiment, the position of the limiting plate 12 can be adjusted by setting the threaded rod, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 12, which facilitates confining the package to the middle position of the guide table 11; the first motor 4 drives the drive arm 5 to rotate, and with the traction of the driven arm 6, it can drive the moving plate 8 to move back and forth on the support plate 7. When the moving plate 8 moves towards the conveyor belt 15, it can drive the push rod 9 to push the package out of the receiving box 10 and push the package on the guide table 11 to move. When the moving plate 8 moves away from the conveyor belt 15, the push rod 9 at the end away from the conveyor belt 15 will press against the package inside the receiving box 10, causing the push rod 9 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 26 until the entire push rod 9 passes under the receiving box 10. Through the cooperation of the second rack 27 and the first gear 28, multiple sets of push rods 9 can be driven to rotate synchronously. After the push rod 9 passes the receiving box 10 and is lowered, the moving plate 8 will drive the push rod 9 to move towards the side of the conveyor belt 15, so that the package can move continuously and at equal intervals on the guide table 11.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1-7 The cleaning component includes:
