Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conveyor lines, in particular to an elastic opening and closing baffle mechanism for a conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern logistics and production, conveyor lines are important material handling equipment, and their operating efficiency and safety directly affect the entire production process. On conveyor lines, the opening and closing baffle mechanism plays a vital role. It is used to control the flow of materials and achieve accurate positioning and accumulation of materials. However, the existing conveyor line opening and closing baffle mechanism has some obvious defects in design and function.

[0003] The existing opening and closing baffle mechanism generally lacks elastic design. When the material collides with the baffle, the baffle is not elastic enough, which can easily cause damage to the material or the baffle, thereby affecting the normal operation of the conveyor line. In addition, the inelastic baffle is prone to produce a strong impact sound when closing, which brings noise pollution to the working environment. The existing opening and closing baffle mechanism lacks damping design during the retraction process. When the baffle needs to retract to allow the material to pass, the speed and force of the baffle retraction are often difficult to control due to the lack of damping control. The baffle retraction speed is too fast, causing the goods to be clamped between the baffle and the conveyor line. Since the friction between the goods and the surface of the conveyor line is too low when the goods are tilted, they are stuck in the gap between the baffle and the bottom of the conveyor line, causing friction damage to the goods. When the goods are piled up, a certain thrust is generated on the inclined baffle, thereby damaging the connection between the baffle and the conveyor line, affecting the stability of the connection between the baffle and the conveyor line. At the same time, the baffle is also very easy to deform. Summary of the invention

[0030] A conveyor line elastic opening and closing baffle mechanism provided by some embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an elastic opening and closing baffle mechanism for a conveyor line, comprising: a fixed bar 100, a baffle 200, an elastic hinge assembly 300 and a damping connecting rod assembly 400, wherein the elastic hinge assembly 300 comprises a fixed bar seat 310 and a movable bar seat 320 respectively fixed to the surfaces of the fixed bar 100 and the baffle 200, and a first folding plate 330, a second folding plate 340, a first connecting bar seat 350, a second connecting bar seat 360 and a spring top rod 370, one end of the first folding plate 330 and the second folding plate 340 are rotatably connected and the first folding plate 330 and the second folding plate 340 are rotatably connected. The other end of 40 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the fixed bar seat 310 and the movable bar seat 320 respectively, one end of the first connecting bar seat 350 and the second connecting bar seat 360 is rotatably connected, and the other ends of the first connecting bar seat 350 and the second connecting bar seat 360 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the fixed bar seat 310 and the movable bar seat 320 respectively, a fixed axis bar 361 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the second connecting bar seat 360, a spring top rod 370 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed axis bar 361, and the other end of the spring top rod 370 abuts against the surface of the connecting axis of the first folding plate 330 and the second folding plate 340;

[0032] The damping link assembly 400 includes a damping slider 410, an elastic curved bar 420, and a slider 430 slidably mounted on the inner side of the damping slider 410, a conductive ring 440 sleeved on the outer periphery of the slider 430 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the damping slider 410, an insulating bar seat 411 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the damping slider 410, a surface of the insulating bar seat 411 is provided with a plurality of magnetic coils 450, one end of the elastic curved bar 420 is rotatably connected to the surface of the slider 430, and the other end of the elastic curved bar 420 is rotatably mounted with a fixing ear 421 fixed to the surface of the fixing bar 100, and the slider 430 is a permanent magnet structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, the conductive ring 440 is a copper ring structure and has a sliding sleeve groove matched with the slider 430 on its inner side. Both sides of the slider 430 are provided with insulating sleeve layers that are in sliding contact with the inner side of the conductive ring 440 .

[0034] Specifically, when the slider 430 slides quickly inside the conductive ring 440 , an induced current may be generated inside the conductive ring 440 , thereby generating a kinetic force that blocks the sliding of the slider 430 through the Lenz effect, thereby preventing the baffle 200 from opening and closing quickly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the end of the magnetic coil 450 is electrically connected to a current generator to form an electromagnet structure, and the direction of the magnetic pole is arranged perpendicular to the direction of the internal sliding groove of the conductive ring 440 .

[0036] Furthermore, the insulating strip seat 411 is fixedly installed on one side of the conductive ring 440 and arranged parallel to the inner groove of the conductive ring 440 . The number of magnetic coils 450 is several and they are arranged in parallel along the surface of the insulating strip seat 411 .

[0037] Specifically, the magnetic coil 450 forms a magnetic attraction on the slider 430 under the effect of power-on, and the locking effect on the slider 430 can be generated by arbitrarily controlling the power-on of a single magnetic coil 450, thereby achieving locking of the baffle 200 at any opening and closing angle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of the spring top rods 370 is plural and they are evenly distributed along the straight line direction of the surface of the fixed axis bar 361 , and the spring top rods 370 are elastic telescopic rod structures.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting points of the fixed bar seat 310, the movable bar seat 320, the first folding plate 330, the second folding plate 340, the first connecting bar seat 350 and the second connecting bar seat 360 are all provided with rotating shaft rods.

[0040] Furthermore, the surface of the second connecting bar seat 360 is respectively provided with axial holes for connecting with the fixed bar seat 310, the first connecting bar seat 350 and the surface of the second folding plate 340, and the three groups of axial holes are located on the same straight line. The connection point between the fixed axis 361 and the second connecting bar seat 360 deviates from the straight line. The cross-section of the second folding plate 340 is obtuse-angled and the surface is respectively arranged with axial pin holes connected with the surfaces of the first folding plate 330, the second connecting bar seat 360 and the movable bar seat 320.

[0041] Specifically, by utilizing the connection relationship between the fixed bar seat 310, the movable bar seat 320, the first folding plate 330, the second folding plate 340, the first connecting bar seat 350 and the second connecting bar seat 360, the two ends of the spring top rod 370 are arranged on the surface of the second connecting bar seat 360 and on the connecting shaft rod facing the second folding plate 340 and the first folding plate 330.

[0042] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0043] During the operation of the conveyor line, when the baffle 200 needs to be kept in a closed state, the magnetic coil 450 inside the damping slider 410 near one end of the fixed bar 100 can be energized to generate a magnetic flux to attract the slider 430 there, thereby locking the movement of the slider 430 and keeping the baffle 200 in a closed state.

[0044] In the scenario where the baffle 200 needs to be opened to release the material, the material is pushed by the conveyor line to abut and push one side of the baffle 200, so that the baffle 200 is guided by the movable bar seat 320, through the deflection movement of the first folding plate 330 and the second folding plate 340, and the deflection movement of the first connecting bar seat 350 and the second connecting bar seat 360 to achieve the guided deflection between the fixed bar 100 and the baffle 200, and the elastic expansion and contraction of the spring top rod 370 is achieved during the movement of the second connecting bar seat 360 and the first folding plate 330, and the spring top rod 370 is elastically extended and retracted by the spring. The elastic expansion and contraction of the push rod 370 gives a certain deflection resistance to the first folding plate 330 and the second connecting bar seat 360, thereby realizing the elastic retreat of the baffle 200 and opening the baffle 200 to release the material; at the same time, when the baffle 200 deflects and releases the material, the elastic curved bar 420 elastically deflects and moves, and the slider 430 slides synchronously inside the damping slider 410, and the slider 430 slides at a low speed inside the damping slider 410, and the damping slider 410 generates a small induced current that has no obvious blocking effect on the movement of the slider 430;

[0045] When the baffle is elastically restored by the spring push rod 370, the fixed bar 100 and the baffle 200 can be elastically deflected to make the baffle 200 deflect and reset. If the baffle 200 closes too quickly, the slider 430 moves too quickly inside the damping slider 410, which can easily generate an induced current effect inside the damping slider 410 through the magnetism of the slider 430, and block the rapid retreat movement of the slider 430 through the Lenz's law effect, giving the material time to be conveyed and output, thereby preventing the material from being clamped by the baffle 200 and blocking the discharge.

[0046] In addition, when the baffle 200 needs to remain in an open state, the magnetic coil 450 inside the damping slide bar 410 away from the end of the fixed bar 100 can be energized to achieve magnetic attraction of the slider 430 to the slider 430, and the baffle 200 can be opened and closed and locked in motion at any angle by energizing different magnetic coils 450 to maintain a certain discharge diameter, which is suitable for specific usage scenarios and improves the practicality of the conveyor line baffle.
