[0037] The anti-drop mechanism set at the discharge port of the buffer module can block the materials buffered on the buffer module to prevent the materials from falling from the discharge port when they are not received by the confluence module, thus ensuring the stability of material transportation;

[0038] The first guide wheel and the second guide wheel are arranged at the bottom of one end of the cache module near the driving mechanism, so that the bottom of the flexible chain plate is in rolling contact with the fixed bracket and the second guide wheel, and part of it is U-shaped and suspended, which helps to buffer and adjust the chain plate tension and improve the stability of transportation.

The driving unit 4031 includes a transmission shaft 40311, on which an electromagnetic clutch 40312 is fixedly mounted, and a driving sprocket 40313 is rotatably mounted on the transmission shaft 40311 through a bearing, and chain coupling sprockets 40314 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the transmission shaft 40311, and two adjacent The transmission shafts 40311 are connected through a chain coupling, the rotating shaft of the drive motor 4032 is fixedly connected to one end of the outermost transmission shaft 40311, and the flexible chain plate 102 is meshed with the driving sprocket 40313; when the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is energized, the friction plate on the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is in close contact with the friction plate on the driving sprocket 40313, so that the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is fixedly connected to the driving sprocket 40313, and when the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is powered off, the friction plate on the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is separated from the friction plate on the driving sprocket 40313; the driving assembly 403 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of driving assemblies 403 are distributed up and down.

[0084] By driving multiple drive units 4031 with one drive motor 4032, the number of motors used is reduced, and the equipment cost and energy consumption are reduced. The setting of the electromagnetic clutch 40312 can independently control each drive unit 4031, realize independent driving of the flexible chain plates 102 on different cache support frames, and improve the flexibility and energy saving of the equipment. The design of the double-layer drive assembly increases the conveying capacity and the flexibility of speed adjustment.

[0085] When in use, the driving motor 4032 rotates, and drives multiple transmission shafts 40311 to rotate synchronously through the chain coupling. When it is necessary to drive the flexible chain plate 102 on a certain cache support frame, the corresponding electromagnetic clutch 40312 is energized so that the friction plate on it is in close contact with the friction plate on the driving sprocket 40313, and the power is transmitted to the driving sprocket 40313, and the driving sprocket 40313 drives the flexible chain plate 102 to rotate. When the drive is not needed, the electromagnetic clutch 40312 is powered off, the friction plate is separated, and the driving unit 4031 stops driving the corresponding flexible chain plate 102. The two sets of drive components distributed up and down can achieve different conveying speeds and methods to meet diverse production needs.

[0086] like Fig.18As shown, the driving units 4031 in the two driving components 403 are divided into 12 groups. When differential transmission is required, only one electromagnetic clutch 40312 corresponding to each group can be energized, thereby achieving differential transmission. The detailed description is given by taking group a1 and group a2 as examples:

[0087] In group a1, the upper electromagnetic clutch 40312 is in a power-off state, which cuts off the power transmission of the upper drive unit 4031, and the upper drive motor 4032 cannot drive the corresponding flexible chain plate 102; while the lower electromagnetic clutch 40312 is in a power-on state, and the lower drive motor 4032 transmits power to the drive sprocket 40313 through the closely contacted friction plate, thereby driving the corresponding flexible chain plate 102 to transport materials.

[0088] In group a2, the control logic is opposite to that of group a1. The upper electromagnetic clutch 40312 is energized, and the upper drive motor 4032 is able to transmit power to the corresponding flexible chain plate 102; the lower electromagnetic clutch 40312 is de-energized, and the power transmission between the lower drive motor 4032 and the corresponding flexible chain plate 102 is interrupted.

[0089] Since the rotation speeds of the upper and lower drive motors 4032 may be different, or under different control strategies, through this precise control of the on and off of the electromagnetic clutch 40312, the rotation speed of the flexible chain plate 102 corresponding to group a1 is different from the rotation speed of the flexible chain plate 102 corresponding to group a2.

[0090] By analogy, through different on-off combinations of the electromagnetic clutch 40312 in the 12 groups of drive units 4031, a variety of different differential conveying modes can be realized to meet diverse production needs. For example, in material sorting, assembly and other links, the conveying speed of each section of the flexible chain plate 102 can be flexibly adjusted according to different process requirements to improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0091] In this embodiment, the driving sprocket 40313 includes an inner sleeve 403131 and a semicircular arc sprocket 403133 , and the two semicircular arc sprockets 403133 are detachably clamped to the inner sleeve 403131 via locking bolts 403132 .

[0092] The detachable drive sprocket 40313 design facilitates the installation, removal and replacement of the sprocket, reducing the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance. When the sprocket is worn or fails, it can be quickly replaced to reduce equipment downtime.

[0093] When installing the driving sprocket 40313, the inner sleeve 403131 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 40311, and then the two semicircular arc sprockets 403133 are tightly held on the inner sleeve 403131 by the locking bolts 403132 to achieve the connection between the sprocket and the transmission shaft 40311. When the sprocket needs to be replaced, the locking bolts 403132 are loosened to remove the semicircular arc sprockets 403133.

[0094] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 402 includes a first mounting plate 4021 and a second mounting plate 4022, and the driving unit 4031 is rotatably mounted between the first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022. The first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022 are both fixedly mounted on the base 401. The upper ends of the first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022 are each provided with an upper mounting through slot 4023, and the lower ends of the first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022 are each provided with a lower mounting through slot 4024. The upper mounting through slot 4023 is opened upward, and the lower mounting through slot 4024 is opened outward. The upper ends of the second mounting plate 4022 and the first mounting plate 4021 are both detachably mounted with an upper limit plate 4025 by bolts, and the lower end sides of the first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022 are both detachably mounted with a side limit plate 4026 by bolts.

[0095] The structural design of the mounting frame 402 facilitates the installation and removal of the drive unit 4031, and the upper mounting slot 4023 and the lower mounting slot 4024 provide convenience for the installation of the drive unit 4031. The upper limit plate 4025 and the side limit plate 4026 can limit the position of the drive unit 4031 to ensure its stable operation.

[0096] When in use, first fix the first mounting plate 4021 and the second mounting plate 4022 on the base 401, and then install the drive unit 4031 between the two mounting plates through the upper mounting slot 4023 and the lower mounting slot 4024. After the installation is completed, the upper limit plate 4025 and the side limit plate 4026 are installed with bolts to limit the up and down and left and right movement of the drive unit 4031 to ensure its stability during operation. The specific operation is that the transmission shaft 40311 in the upper drive unit 4031 is rotatably installed in the upper mounting slot 4023, and the transmission shaft 40311 in the lower drive unit 4031 is rotatably installed in the lower mounting slot 4024.

[0097] In this embodiment, a first guide wheel 1001 and a second guide wheel 1002 are arranged at the bottom of one end of the cache module 1 close to the driving mechanism 4, and a flexible chain plate 102 is arranged through the first guide wheel 1001 and the second guide wheel 1002. The bottom of the flexible chain plate 102 is in rolling contact with the fixed bracket 1011 and the second guide wheel 1002, and the part of the flexible chain plate 102 located between the first guide wheel 1001 and the second guide wheel 1002 is arranged in a U-shaped suspension.

[0098] The arrangement of the first guide wheel 1001 and the second guide wheel 1002 and the U-shaped overhanging structure of the flexible chain plate 102 play a role in buffering and adjusting the tension of the chain plate, thereby reducing the wear and shaking of the chain plate during operation.

[0099] In this embodiment, an anti-tooth jumping assembly 4001 is provided on the base 401, and the anti-tooth jumping assembly 4001 includes a first inclined plate 40011 and a second inclined plate 40012. The first inclined plate 40011 and the second inclined plate 40012 are both fixedly installed on the top of the base 401. The first inclined plate 40011 and the second inclined plate 40012 are combined to form a parabolic shape with an opening upward. The first inclined plate 40011 and the second inclined plate 40012 are respectively arranged on both sides of the driving unit 4031.

[0100] The anti-tooth jumping component 4001 can effectively prevent tooth jumping between the flexible chain plate 102 and the driving sprocket 40313, ensure the stability and reliability of power transmission, reduce the occurrence of equipment failures, and improve the working efficiency and service life of the conveyor.

[0101] When the flexible chain plate 102 and the driving sprocket 40313 may have a tendency to jump teeth during operation, the anti-jump teeth assembly 4001 with an upward parabolic opening will limit and guide the flexible chain plate 102. They limit the displacement of the flexible chain plate 102, so that the chain plate always maintains a good meshing state with the driving sprocket 40313, avoiding the occurrence of tooth jumping.

[0102] The anti-slip mechanism 5 includes a pressure rod 501 and a supporting plate 503. The pressure rod 501 is fixedly installed at the feed port of the mobile converging conveyor belt 303. The pressure rod 501 is arranged in an inverted L shape. The upper end of the pressure rod 501 is rotatably installed with a first bearing 502. The supporting plate 503 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 402. An L-type material blocking rod 504 is hingedly connected to the supporting plate 503 through a hinge seat 505. The lower end of the L-type material blocking rod 504 is suspended at the discharge port of the cache module 1. A moving block 506 is arranged above the supporting plate 503. Both ends of the bottom of the moving block 506 are fixedly connected with movable rods 507. The lower end of the movable rod 507 slides through the supporting plate 503. A spring 508 is sleeved on the movable rod 507. The top of 8 is against the bottom of the moving block 506, and the bottom of the spring 508 is pressed against the top of the supporting plate 503. The upper end of the movable rod 507 is rotatably connected to the second bearing 5041, and the second bearing 5041 is arranged directly below the moving block 506. The top of the moving block 506 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 509, and the pressure block 509 is arranged in an isosceles trapezoid. When the pressure rod 501 moves to the discharge port where material needs to be discharged, the first bearing 502 on the pressure rod 501 can apply downward pressure to the pressure block 509, thereby causing the moving block 506 to move downward. The moving block 506 moving downward applies downward pressure on the second bearing 5041, so that the lower end of the L blocking rod 504 rotates upward, the discharge port is opened, and the material is discharged.

[0103] The anti-slip mechanism 5 can accurately control the opening and closing of the discharge port of the cache module 1, effectively preventing materials from falling when discharge is not required, and ensuring safe caching of materials; when discharge is required, the discharge port can be opened in time to ensure that the materials are smoothly transported to the confluence module 3, thereby improving the stability and controllability of material transportation.

[0104] When in use, under normal circumstances, the spring 508 is in a natural state, so that the moving block 506 is maintained at a certain height, and the lower end of the L blocking rod 504 is suspended at the discharge port of the cache module 1 to prevent the material from falling. When the mobile converging conveyor belt 303 moves to the discharge port where the material needs to be discharged, the pressure rod 501 moves with it, and the first bearing 502 thereon contacts the pressure block 509 and applies downward pressure. After the pressure block 509 is subjected to pressure, it pushes the moving block 506 to move downward and compresses the spring 508. The moving block 506 applies pressure to the movable rod 507 through the second bearing 5041, so that the L blocking rod 504 rotates upward around the hinge seat 505, opens the discharge port, and the material can be transported from the cache module 1 to the mobile converging conveyor belt 303. When the mobile converging conveyor belt 303 leaves the discharge port, the spring 508 restores its elastic deformation, pushes the moving block 506 to rise, and the lower end of the L blocking rod 504 returns to the discharge port to block the material.

[0105] In this embodiment, the meshing equation between the driving sprocket and the flexible chain plate can be introduced:

[0106] The meshing relationship between the driving sprocket 40313 and the flexible chain plate 102 can be described by a geometric equation. Assuming that the radius of the sprocket is R and the pitch of the chain plate is p, the meshing condition between the sprocket and the chain plate is:

[0107] 2πR=np, where n is the number of teeth on the sprocket.

[0108] Example: When designing the drive sprocket 40313, the radius of the sprocket can be calculated based on the pitch p of the flexible chain plate 102 and the required number of teeth n. For example, when the drive sprocket needs to be replaced, the appropriate sprocket size can be selected according to the above equation to ensure good meshing between the sprocket and the chain plate.

[0109] Technical effect: By accurately calculating the meshing relationship between the drive sprocket and the flexible chain plate, the stability and reliability of power transmission can be ensured, the occurrence of tooth jumping can be reduced, and the working efficiency of the conveyor can be improved.

[0110] In this embodiment, the control equation of the electromagnetic clutch can also be introduced. The working state of the electromagnetic clutch 40312 can be represented by a switch function S(t), where t is time. When the electromagnetic clutch is powered on, S(t)=1; when the electromagnetic clutch is powered off, S(t)=0. Assuming that the speed of the drive motor 4032 is W, the speed Ws of the drive sprocket 40313 can be expressed as: Ws=S(t)W.

[0111] Example: In actual operation, the rotation speed of the drive sprocket 40313 can be adjusted according to production requirements and material conveying conditions by controlling the on and off time of the electromagnetic clutch 40312. For example, when performing differential conveying, different groups of electromagnetic clutches can be combined with different on and off times to achieve a variety of different conveying speeds.

[0112] Technical effect: By precisely controlling the working state of the electromagnetic clutch, the flexible chain plates 102 on different cache support frames can be independently driven, thereby improving the flexibility and energy efficiency of the equipment and meeting diverse production needs.

[0113] Working principle:

[0114] The material first enters the diversion module 2, and the first motor 2021 drives the fixed diversion conveyor belt 202 to rotate, and the material is transported on the fixed diversion conveyor belt 202. If the material is to be distributed to other cache support racks except the outermost cache support rack, the first linear module 204 drives the mobile diversion conveyor belt 203 to move, and the third motor 2062 drives the lane change component 206 to change the material flow direction, so that the material enters the mobile diversion conveyor belt 203 and is transported to the target cache support rack.

[0115] In the cache module 1, the driving motor 4032 rotates, and drives multiple transmission shafts 40311 to rotate synchronously through the chain coupling. The corresponding electromagnetic clutch 40312 is energized as needed, so that the driving sprocket 40313 is connected to the transmission shaft 40311, and the flexible chain plate 102 is driven to rotate, so as to realize the transportation of materials on the cache support frame. The U-shaped overhanging structure of the first guide wheel 1001, the second guide wheel 1002 and the flexible chain plate 102 plays the role of buffering and adjusting tension, and the anti-jumping tooth component 4001 prevents the chain plate from jumping teeth.

[0116] When the material needs to be taken out from the cache module 1 and sent to the production line, the confluence module 3 starts working. The second linear module 304 drives the mobile confluence conveyor belt 303 to move so that its feed port is connected to the discharge port of the target cache support frame. At the same time, the pressure rod 501 moves with the mobile confluence conveyor belt 303. When it reaches the discharge port where the material needs to be discharged, the first bearing 502 on the pressure rod 501 applies pressure to the pressure block 509, so that the L material blocking rod 504 opens the discharge port, and the material is transported to the feed port of the production line after the mobile confluence conveyor belt 303 and the fixed confluence conveyor belt 302 merge. When the material is not needed to be discharged, the L material blocking rod 504 of the anti-slip mechanism 5 blocks the material to prevent it from falling from the discharge port.

[0117] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
