Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying device technology, specifically to a plastic product loading and conveying device with a function of removing metal impurities. Background Technology

[0002] In patent application CN216460175U, the device includes a main body, a conveyor belt, a motor, a robotic arm, a camera, a computer, pulleys, a belt, and a pulley assembly. The conveyor belt is mounted only at the top center of the main body. A chassis is mounted at both ends of the top left side of the main body, and the chassis is fixed to the main body with screws. The robotic arm is mounted at the top center of the chassis. A controller is mounted on the right side of the robotic arm at the top of the main body. A bracket is mounted on the top of the main body at the right side of the robotic arm, and a guide rail is mounted on the top of the bracket. A slider is mounted on the guide rail, and the camera is mounted at the front end of the slider. A support frame is mounted on the bottom right side of the main body, and the support frame is fixed to the main body with screws. The computer is mounted at the front end of the support frame, and a support base is mounted at the top rear end of the support frame, with the motor mounted on the support base. The motor is equipped with the pulley, which is mounted on the motor via a flat key. The right side of the conveyor belt passes through the main body of the device and is equipped with the first pulley, which is connected to the pulley via the belt. The advantages are: Firstly, this utility model includes a main body, conveyor belt, motor, robotic arm, camera, computer, pulley, belt, and first pulley. The robotic arm is mounted at both ends of the top left side of the main body, and a camera is mounted above the top of the main body to the right of the robotic arm. A computer is mounted at the bottom front of the right side of the main body. Because the camera is mounted above the conveyor belt, it can photograph and inspect the plastic products at the processing point, transmit the images to the computer for analysis, and then use the robotic arm to remove defective products from the conveyor belt. This changes the traditional conveying device, which requires manual visual inspection of products during transport, resulting in time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient transport.

[0003] In the prior art, including the aforementioned patents, the focus is mainly on cooling, protecting, or limiting the location of plastic products. However, metal debris and other impurities on the mold surface or in the environment during production can easily enter the transportation stage with the plastic products. This not only scratches the surface of the plastic products but also increases the labor intensity of workers cleaning the conveying devices and plastic products. Existing metal impurity removal devices, such as air separators, strong magnetic separators, and eddy current separators, are mostly used for plastic waste recycling. In the metal removal work of plastic products, some machines are not suitable, and some have poor removal effects due to the special shape of the plastic products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem this invention aims to solve is that it is inconvenient to remove metal shavings and other impurities remaining on the surface of plastic products during transportation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a plastic product loading and conveying device with metal impurity removal function, comprising a mounting frame, two mounting frames being provided in total, a conveyor belt being provided between the mounting frames, a rotating roller for driving and tensioning being provided inside the conveyor belt, a storage component being fixedly provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, the storage component being used to temporarily store plastic products and remove metal debris and impurities from the surface of the plastic products, a guide plate being provided on one side of the storage component, the guide plate being used to assist the movement of the components within the storage component, a driving component being provided on the side of the storage component away from the guide plate, the driving component being used to drive the relevant components within the storage component; the storage component includes upright plates, two upright plates being provided in total, the two upright plates being symmetrically arranged along the center line of the conveyor belt, a sleeve being fixedly provided on the opposite side of the upright plates, a fixed rotating cylinder being provided inside the sleeve, the fixed rotating cylinder being rotatably connected to one side of the upright plate, the fixed... A brush is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the fixed rotating drum, with the other end of the brush contacting the inner wall of the sleeve. A discharge chute is provided above the brush via the sleeve. A movable rotating drum is provided at the lower end of the fixed rotating drum. Slide rails are fixedly mounted on the upper ends of both sides of the movable rotating drum, and the movable rotating drum is slidably connected to the fixed rotating drum via the slide rails. A movable disc is fixedly mounted at one end of the movable rotating drum. The movable disc is slidably connected to the fixed rotating drum. A mounting plate is provided on the side of the movable rotating drum away from the movable disc. The mounting plate is located outside the upright plate and is triangular in shape. A counterweight is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate closest to the movable rotating drum. The other end of the counterweight is rotatably connected to the movable rotating drum. The counterweight is semi-circular in shape. Elastic components are fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower end of the mounting plate. The elastic components pass through one upright plate and are fixedly connected to the other upright plate. The elastic components consist of a spring and a three-stage telescopic rod. The total length of the extended elastic components is twice the length of the sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, a gear ring one is fixedly installed inside the movable disc, and a gear ring two is engaged on the side of the gear ring one away from the movable rotating cylinder. The gear ring two is rotatably connected to the upright plate, and a roller is fixedly installed at the outer end of the gear ring two. The lower end of the roller contacts the upper end of the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt via a flexible connecting column. The length of the connecting column at the lower end of the vertical plate needs to be changed according to the diameter of the rotating roller. The height of the connecting column at the lower end of the vertical plate is inversely proportional to the diameter of the rotating roller. A grid plate is fixedly installed in the middle of both the fixed rotating drum and the movable rotating drum. A cover plate is installed at the upper end of the sleeve. The two ends of the cover plate are rotatably connected to the vertical plate. The cover plate is located above the discharge chute of the sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the guide plate is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket by screws, the guide plate is located on the upper edge of the mounting bracket, the guide plate is located on one side of the mounting plate, and the guide plate can limit the range of motion of the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a first belt, the upper surface of which is flush with the upper surface of the mounting frame. A pulley is provided inside the first belt, which is configured as an inverted trapezoid. A second belt is provided on the outer side of one of the pulleys, and a pulley is provided at the other end of the second belt.

[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the rotating wheel is smaller than the diameter of the pulley. The pulley can also be used to connect an external motor to drive the entire conveyor belt and belt one and belt two to rotate. The rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the mounting frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0012] (1) By setting up storage components and drive components, metal chips and impurities on the surface of plastic products can be removed at the same time during transportation. This not only improves the quality of plastic products and prevents metal chips from scratching the surface of finished products, but also limits impurities to a fixed range and prevents them from drifting randomly. As a result, workers do not need to clean the plastic products. When maintaining the device, workers only need to maintain the components inside the sleeve, which can reduce the labor intensity during maintenance. Moreover, storing plastic products in storage components for transportation can reduce the impact of external factors on the products themselves and avoid the risk of plastic products being directly squeezed, impacted, or falling off the equipment, thereby further preventing unnecessary damage to plastic products.

[0013] (2) The discharge component and the drive component work together to perform self-cleaning on the sleeve itself, preventing impurities from accumulating on the inner wall of the sleeve for a long time and allowing them to be discharged in time. This not only reduces the maintenance frequency of the device, but also further reduces the labor intensity of the workers. When the maintenance standard is not met, the workers only need to clean the impurities in the collection box. Thus, under the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the device, the maintenance frequency and the labor intensity of the workers can be further reduced, so that no residual impurities will affect the new products during each conveying.
