Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of suspended conveying technology, and more specifically to an intelligent suspended conveying device for rear axle production. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional rear axle production conveyor systems face significant technical bottlenecks in the material loading process. Firstly, the loading position is fixed, requiring manual handling to raise the material to the same height as the main conveyor for loading. When rear axle components are heavy, this not only increases worker workload but also poses safety hazards due to working at height. Secondly, the loading capacity of traditional systems is limited by the capacity of the moving components, necessitating frequent shutdowns for replenishment. This frequent start-stop operation, especially in mass production of rear axles, leads to a significant decrease in conveying efficiency. Furthermore, traditional systems lack an automatic height adjustment mechanism, failing to automatically raise materials from a low loading position to the height of the main conveyor. This low level of automation in material handling makes it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern rear axle production lines. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent suspended conveyor device for rear axle production. Through low-position feeding and automatic elevation conversion, large-capacity integrated feeding design, and high-low position linkage transmission, it aims to reduce labor intensity, improve conveying efficiency, and enhance equipment versatility.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides an intelligent suspended conveyor device for rear axle production, comprising:

[0005] The main conveyor has a loading point in the middle, which is an interrupted gap.

[0006] A feeding frame, which is installed on one side of the feeding position;

[0007] The feeding plate is slidably mounted on the feeding frame. The feeding plate has at least two states on the feeding frame: the first state is flush with the interruption notch of the feeding position, and the second state is the feeding plate away from the feeding position.

[0008] The main conveyor and the feeding plate are respectively provided with a first moving channel and a second moving channel. The conveying device also includes a moving component, which can move in the first moving channel or the second moving channel. When the moving component moves into the second moving channel, it can move with the feeding plate.

[0009] Preferably, the moving component includes multiple moving parts, which are connected by a steering component, and the length of the moving component is the same as the length of the second moving channel.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding plate is internally equipped with multiple positioning wheels, and each moving part is equipped with multiple evenly arranged crossbars. The positioning wheels are provided with teeth that mesh with the crossbars.

[0011] Preferably, vertically arranged side wheels are installed on both sides of the moving part, and a horizontally arranged top wheel is rotatably installed on the top of the moving part. Slides adapted to the side wheels and top wheel are provided on both side walls of the first moving channel and the second moving channel.

[0012] Preferably, the slide rail adapted to the side wheel includes an upper bottom surface and a lower bottom surface, and a gap is left between the side wheel and the upper bottom surface.

[0013] Preferably, the feeding frame is provided with rails on both sides, a first slider adapted to the rails is fixed on the feeding plate, a lead screw is rotatably installed in the middle of the feeding frame, a second slider adapted to the lead screw is installed on the feeding plate, and the interior of the second slider is provided with threads that mesh with the lead screw.

[0014] Preferably, a first drive gear and a second drive gear are rotatably installed near the interruption gap in the main conveyor. Both the first drive gear and the second drive gear are provided with teeth that mesh with the crossbar. When the first drive gear and the second drive gear rotate, they can drive the moving components inside the main conveyor to move.

[0015] Preferably, the main conveyor is provided with multiple sets of moving components, each set of moving components having the same length.

[0016] Preferably, the connection points of two adjacent sets of moving components are all connected by a retaining pin.

[0017] Preferably, the steering component includes a rotating plate fixedly hung on an adjacent moving component, and the two rotating plates are connected by a rotating shaft.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] The flush docking design between the loading plate and the gap in the main conveyor allows materials to be loaded on the ground or a low-level operating platform, eliminating the need for manual lifting of materials to the height of the main conveyor. After loading is complete, the loading plate slides, causing the moving components to automatically rise to the elevation of the main conveyor, achieving an automated process of "loading at low levels and conveying at high levels." This reduces the labor intensity of workers and eliminates the risks of working at heights, making it particularly suitable for loading heavy components such as rear axles.

[0020] The length of the moving component is precisely matched with the second moving channel, and multiple sets of moving parts are flexibly connected by steering components to form a long-distance continuous load-bearing structure, which significantly improves the continuous operation capability of the rear axle production line.

[0021] The movable connection design of the moving component's steering element and locking pin allows it to adapt to elevation changes of varying curvatures during high-low transitions. Whether in a straight or curved conveyor channel, the moving component maintains a stable load-bearing state. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention is illustrated below with specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, an intelligent suspended conveyor for rear axle production is provided, including a main conveyor 1, a feeding frame 2, and a feeding plate 3.

[0034] A feeding position is provided in the middle of the main conveyor 1. The feeding position is an interruption gap, and the feeding frame 2 is installed on one side of the feeding position.

[0035] The feeding plate 3 is slidably mounted on the feeding frame 2. The feeding plate 3 has at least two states on the feeding frame 2. The first state is flush with the interruption gap of the feeding position. The second state is that the feeding plate 3 is away from the feeding position. When feeding is required, the feeding plate 3 slides to the first state, flush with the interruption gap of the feeding position. At this time, the moving component 4 can enter the second moving channel 301 of the feeding plate 3 from the first moving channel 101 of the main conveyor 1. After feeding is completed, the feeding plate 3 slides to the second state, away from the feeding position. The moving component 4 moves with the feeding plate 3. After moving to a suitable position, the moving component 4 is sent back to the main conveyor 1 to continue conveying.

[0036] The main conveyor 1 and the feeding plate 3 are respectively provided with a first moving channel 101 and a second moving channel 301. The conveying device also includes a moving component 4, which can move in the first moving channel 101 or the second moving channel 301. When the moving component 4 moves into the second moving channel 301, it can move with the feeding plate 3, realizing material feeding during the operation of the main conveyor 1, avoiding conveying interruption and improving production efficiency. Through the state switching of the feeding plate 3, the moving component 4 can be transferred between the feeding position and the main conveyor 1, ensuring the continuity and flexibility of material conveying.

[0037] The feeding frame 2 has rails on both sides. A first slider adapted to the rails is fixed on the feeding plate 3. A lead screw 12 is rotatably installed in the middle of the feeding frame 2. A second slider 13 adapted to the lead screw 12 is installed on the feeding plate 3. The second slider 13 has a thread that meshes with the lead screw 12. When the lead screw 12 rotates, it drives the second slider 13 to move through the thread, thereby driving the feeding plate 3 to slide on the rails, realizing the switching of the feeding plate 3 between the first state and the second state. This lead screw 12 transmission structure can accurately control the moving position and moving speed of the feeding plate 3, ensuring that the switching of the feeding plate 3 between the two states is accurate and stable. The cooperation of the rails and sliders provides guidance and support for the movement of the feeding plate 3.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figures 1-8 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides the composition of the moving component 4, as detailed below:

[0040] The moving component 4 includes multiple moving parts 5, which are connected by a steering component 7. The length of the moving component 4 is the same as the length of the second moving channel 301. When the moving component 4 enters the second moving channel 301, it can be fully accommodated in the channel due to its length adaptation. The multiple moving parts 5 are connected by the steering component 7 and can move flexibly in the channel, following the sliding of the feeding plate 3. The connection of the multiple moving parts 5 by the steering component 7 gives the moving component 4 a certain degree of flexibility, which can adapt to different conveying paths and position changes. The fact that the length of the moving component 4 is the same as the length of the second moving channel 301 ensures the stable movement of the moving component 4 in the channel, avoids jamming or deviation, and ensures the smoothness of the feeding process.

[0041] Multiple positioning wheels 8 are rotatably mounted inside the feeding plate 3. Each moving component 5 is equipped with multiple evenly arranged crossbars 6. The positioning wheels 8 are provided with teeth that mesh with the crossbars 6. When the moving component 4 moves in the second moving channel 301, the positioning wheels 8 mesh with the crossbars 6 through the teeth, driving the positioning wheels 8 to rotate, thereby positioning and guiding the movement of the moving component 4. The meshing structure between the positioning wheels 8 and the crossbars 6 can accurately control the moving position of the moving component 4 in the second moving channel 301, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the moving component 4 during the movement process, and preventing the moving component 4 from deviating or shaking.

[0042] Vertically arranged side wheels 10 are installed on both sides of the moving part 5, and a horizontally arranged top wheel 11 is rotatably installed on the top of the moving part 5. Slides adapted to the side wheels 10 and top wheels 11 are provided on both sides of the first moving channel 101 and the second moving channel 301, which support and guide the moving component 4, ensuring the stability of the moving component 4 during the conveying process and preventing the moving component 4 from tilting or leaving the channel.

[0043] The slide rail adapted to the side wheel 10 includes an upper bottom surface and a lower bottom surface. There is a gap between the side wheel 10 and the upper bottom surface. When the moving component 4 moves in the channel, the side wheel 10 rolls on the lower bottom surface of the slide rail. Due to the gap between the side wheel 10 and the upper bottom surface, friction between the side wheel 10 and the upper bottom surface is avoided, reducing wear. The gap design between the side wheel 10 and the upper bottom surface reduces the frictional resistance during the movement of the moving component 4 and reduces the wear of the components.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] like Figures 1-8 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides the internal structure of the main conveyor 1, as detailed below:

[0046] A first drive gear 14 and a second drive gear 15 are rotatably mounted near the interruption gap in the main conveyor 1. Both the first drive gear 14 and the second drive gear 15 are provided with teeth that mesh with the crossbar 6. When the first drive gear 14 and the second drive gear 15 rotate, they can drive the moving component 4 inside the main conveyor 1 to move. When the gears rotate, they mesh with the crossbar 6 through their teeth, thus driving the moving component 4 inside the main conveyor 1 to move. The meshing transmission between the drive gears and the crossbar 6 provides power for the movement of the moving component 4 in the main conveyor 1, ensuring that the moving component 4 can move in the set direction and speed. This transmission method has high transmission efficiency and can accurately control the movement of the moving component 4.

[0047] The main conveyor 1 is equipped with multiple sets of moving components 4, each of which is of equal length. During the conveying process, the multiple sets of moving components 4 are arranged in sequence and driven by the drive gear to realize the continuous conveying of materials. The design of multiple sets of moving components 4 of equal length makes the conveying of materials in the main conveyor 1 more uniform and orderly, which can improve the conveying efficiency. At the same time, it is convenient to maintain and replace the moving components 4, ensuring the normal operation of the conveying device.

[0048] The connection points of two adjacent sets of moving components 4 are all connected by a retaining pin 16. When the moving component 4 moves in the main conveyor 1, the retaining pin 16 allows a certain relative rotation between adjacent moving components 4 to adapt to changes in the path during the conveying process. The movable connection method of the retaining pin 16 enables multiple sets of moving components 4 to form a continuous whole, while also having a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to possible bends or turns in the main conveyor 1.

[0049] The steering component 7 includes a rotating plate 9 fixedly hung on the adjacent moving component 5. The two rotating plates 9 are connected by a rotating shaft. When the moving component 4 needs to turn or pass through a curved path during the conveying process, the adjacent moving components 5 can rotate relative to each other through the connection of the rotating plate 9 and the rotating shaft, so that the moving component 4 can pass smoothly. This steering component 7 structure gives the moving component 4 good steering performance and can adapt to conveying channels of different shapes and layouts.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] When the intelligent suspended conveyor for rear axle production is in operation, the main conveyor 1 serves as the primary channel for material transport, with an interruption gap at the loading position in its middle. When material needs to be loaded, the loading plate 3 on the loading frame 2 slides to its first state, flush with the interruption gap, under the guidance and support of the track and slider, via the transmission structure of the lead screw 12. At this time, the moving component 4 inside the main conveyor 1 can enter the second moving channel 301 of the loading plate 3 from the first moving channel 101. After loading is completed, the loading plate 3 slides to its second state, away from the loading position, and the moving component 4 moves with the loading plate 3. Once it has moved to a suitable position, the moving component 4 is sent back to the main conveyor 1. Through the meshing transmission between the first drive gear 14 and the second drive gear 15 near the interruption gap of the main conveyor 1 and the crossbar 6 on the moving component 4, the moving component 4 continues to be transported within the main conveyor 1.

[0052] The moving assembly 4 consists of multiple moving parts 5 connected by a steering component 7. Its length is adapted to the second moving channel 301, allowing it to move flexibly within the channel. Positioning wheels 8 inside the feed plate 3 engage with crossbars 6 on the moving parts 5 via teeth, providing positioning and guidance for the movement of the moving assembly 4. Side wheels 10 on both sides and top wheels 11 on the top of the moving parts 5 cooperate with slides on the sidewalls of the channel to reduce friction and support and guide the moving assembly 4. Adjacent moving assemblies 4 are movably connected by locking pins 16, and the moving parts 5 are connected by a rotating plate 9 and a rotating shaft via steering components 7, enabling the moving assembly 4 to adapt to changes in the conveying path.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate and not limit the technical solutions of the present invention.

Any modifications or partial substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
