Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drone production, and in particular to a raw material transfer mechanism for drone production. Background Art

[0002] A drone is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control device, or is operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. Drones are mainly divided into civilian drones and military drones. Here we mainly discuss civilian drones. With the gradual maturity of drone technology, the manufacturing cost and entry threshold have been reduced, the consumer drone market has exploded, and more and more drones have entered various industries.

[0003] The propeller is an important component of a drone, and some propellers are made of balsa wood. In the process of using balsa wood to make propellers, conveyor belts are used to transfer balsa wood boards from the wood storage area to the cutting and processing area. The processed balsa wood propellers are then transferred via conveyor belts to subsequent processes such as polishing and painting.

[0004] The structure of the conveyor belt is relatively complex, involving multiple components such as motors, speed reducers, rollers, and idlers. Failure of any one component may cause the entire conveying system to stop operating. Traditional conveyor belt systems are usually equipped with only a single conveyor belt. When a problem occurs with the conveyor belt, the entire conveyor system needs to be stopped. Due to the complex structure of the conveyor belt system, involving multiple components such as motors, speed reducers, rollers, and idlers, it is not easy to determine the fault point. Therefore, it takes a long time to repair the conveyor belt, which will lead to a long period of stagnation in drone production. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-6A raw material transfer mechanism for drone production includes a base 1, a driving assembly is provided on the top of the base 1, a movable plate 5 and a rotating rod 15 are provided on the top of the base 1 through the driving assembly, a slot 7 is opened on the top of the movable plate 5, a plug-in plate 8 is inserted inside the slot 7, and a conveyor belt 9 is provided on the top of the plug-in plate 8, and the driving assembly includes a fixed plate 2 provided on the top of the base 1, a driving motor 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the fixed plate 2, the output end of the driving motor 3 passes through the fixed plate 2 and extends to the inside of the fixed plate 2 and is fixedly installed with a first screw 4, the surface of the first screw 4 is threadedly connected to the inside of the movable plate 5, the rear end of the first screw 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 15, the inside of the fixed plate 2 is fixedly installed with a first guide rod 6, and the surface of the first guide rod 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable plate 5 Then, the first screw rod 4 is rotated by driving the motor 3, so that the movable plate 5 moves forward along the first guide rod 6, so that the inserting plate 8 drives the conveyor belt 9 to move forward. At the same time, the rotation of the first screw 4 will cause the rotating rod 15 to rotate. By setting the driving component, it is convenient to provide driving force for the movement of the movable plate 5 and the rotation of the rotating rod 15, and one motor can make the movable plate 5 move and the rotating rod 15 rotate, thereby reducing the waste of the motor. A pressure sensor 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 2, and a controller 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 2. In the process of the movable plate 5 moving forward, the movable plate 5 contacts the pressure sensor 32 and squeezes the pressure sensor 32. Then the pressure sensor 32 will transmit the squeezing signal The controller 33 is given to the controller 33, so that the controller 33 controls the driving motor 3 to stop running. At this time, the conveyor belt 9 at the back is just located between the loading channel 14 and the unloading channel 31, which is convenient for positioning and switching the conveyor belt 9, so that the conveyor belt 9 can better transfer the raw materials later. The opposite surfaces of the insert plate 8 are provided with a limiting groove 10, and a limiting component is provided on the top of the movable plate 5. The first support plate 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and the loading channel 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the first support plate 13. The surface of the loading channel 14 is fixedly installed with a mounting bracket 20, and the surface of the rotating rod 15 is provided with a transmission component. The top of the rotating rod 15 is provided with a baffle 27 through the transmission component, and the top of the baffle 27 is provided with a guide component. The top of the base 1 is provided with a unloading component. The component includes a second support plate 30 arranged on the top of the base 1, and a discharge channel 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the second support plate 30. The raw materials transferred by the conveyor belt 9 can enter the next process along the discharge channel 31, so that the raw materials can enter the next process more conveniently. The raw material transfer mechanism for drone production, when the front conveyor belt 9 fails, drives the movable plate 5 forward through the driving component, so that the insert plate 8 drives the conveyor belt 9 to move forward, so that the rear conveyor belt 9 is located between the loading channel 14 and the discharge component, and the transfer work is continued through the conveyor belt 9. At the same time, the faulty conveyor belt 9 can be disassembled and repaired, avoiding the maintenance of the conveyor belt 9 affecting the transportation of drone raw materials and reducing production downtime.

[0021] Specifically, the limit assembly includes an electric push rod 11 arranged on the top of the movable plate 5, and the limit block 12 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 11. The electric push rod 11 moves the middle of the limit block 12 so that the limit block 12 is separated from the limit slot 10, and the limit on the plug board 8 can be cancelled. Then, the plug board 8 is pulled out from the slot 7 to complete the disassembly of the conveyor belt 9, making the disassembly of the conveyor belt 9 simpler, so that the conveyor belt 9 can be inspected and repaired faster. When the plug board 8 is inserted into the slot 7, the electric push rod 11 moves the limit blocks 12 away from each other, so that the limit block 12 is inserted into the limit slot 10, which is convenient for limiting the plug board 8 and preventing the plug board 8 from being easily removed from the slot 7, thereby facilitating the limiting of the conveyor belt 9, so that the subsequent conveyor belt 9 can run more stably.

[0022] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a first pulley 16 arranged on the surface of the rotating rod 15, and a synchronous belt 17 is meshed on the surface of the first pulley 16. A second pulley 18 is meshed on the inner wall of the synchronous belt 17, and a second screw 19 is fixedly installed inside the second pulley 18. The surface of the second screw 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 20, and the surface of the second screw 19 is threadedly connected to a movable plate 21. The movable plate 21 is slidably connected to a second guide rod 22, and the surface of the second guide rod 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame 20. An inclined slot 23 and a straight slot 24 are provided on the right side of the movable plate 21. There are two inclined slots 23, and the two inclined slots 23 are symmetrically distributed. The two inclined slots 23 are connected to the straight slot 24. A movable column 25 is slidably connected to the inside of the inclined slot 23. A connecting plate 26 is fixedly installed on the right end of the movable column 25. The bottom of the connecting plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 27. Through the arrangement of the transmission assembly, it is convenient to rotate the rotating rod 15 when the rotating rod 15 is rotated. When the movable column 25 moves from the straight groove 24 to the rear inclined groove 23, it will move upward along the inclined groove 23, which can make the baffle 27 move upward, thereby eliminating the obstruction of the raw materials and allowing the raw materials to continue to fall onto the conveyor belt 9 for transportation.

[0023] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a mounting block 28 arranged on the top of the baffle 27, and a fixed rod 29 is slidably connected inside the mounting block 28. The fixed rod 29 is fixedly installed between the mounting frame 20 and the loading channel 14. During the up and down movement of the baffle 27, the mounting block 28 will move up and down along the fixed rod 29, which is convenient for guiding the movement of the baffle 27, so that the baffle 27 can move more stably and avoid the baffle 27 from being offset.

[0024] During use: the drone raw materials fall onto the conveyor belt 9 along the loading channel 14, and the conveyor belt 9 moves the drone raw materials to the right, so that the drone raw materials fall into the next process along the unloading channel 31, completing the transfer of the drone raw materials. When the front conveyor belt 9 fails, the first screw 4 is rotated by the driving motor 3, so that the movable plate 5 moves forward along the first guide rod 6, so that the insert plate 8 drives the conveyor belt 9 to move forward. At the same time, the rotation of the first screw 4 will cause the rotating rod 15 to rotate, so that the first pulley 16 rotates, so that the synchronous belt 17 causes the second pulley 18 to rotate, so that the second screw 19 rotates, so that the movable plate 21 moves forward along the second guide rod 22. In the process of the movable plate 21 moving forward, the movable column 25 first moves downward relatively along the inclined slot 23, so that the connecting plate 26, the baffle 27, and the mounting block 28 move downward along the fixed rod 29. When the movable column 25 moves into the straight slot 24 When the front side of the movable plate 5 is about to contact the pressure sensor 32, the movable column 25 will enter the inclined slot 23 on the rear side, and then the movable column 25 will move upward along the inclined slot 23, so that the connecting plate 26, the baffle 27 and the mounting block 28 move upward along the fixed rod 29. When the front side of the movable plate 5 squeezes the pressure sensor 32, the signal is transmitted to the controller 33, so that the controller 33 controls the drive motor 3 to stop running. At this time, the rear conveyor belt 9 is just located between the loading channel 14 and the unloading channel 31, and the conveyor belt 9 can continue to transport the material. The corresponding electric push rod 11 makes the limit blocks 12 approach each other, so that the limit blocks 12 are separated from the limit slot 10, the plug board 8 is pulled out of the slot 7, the conveyor belt 9 with the problem is removed, and then it can be repaired.

[0025] To sum up, the raw material transfer mechanism for drone production, when the front conveyor belt 9 fails, drives the movable plate 5 to move forward through the driving component, so that the insert plate 8 drives the conveyor belt 9 to move forward, so that the rear conveyor belt 9 is located between the loading channel 14 and the unloading component, and the transfer work is continued through the conveyor belt 9. At the same time, the failed conveyor belt 9 can be disassembled and repaired, avoiding the influence of the repair of the conveyor belt 9 on the transportation of drone raw materials, reducing the production downtime, and being used to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
