Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material conveying technology, and specifically relates to a chain conveyor mechanism for material transportation with intelligent monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] A chain conveyor mechanism for transporting goods with intelligent monitoring function is a modern material conveying system that integrates high-precision sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and intelligent algorithms, with the chain as the core transmission component. This mechanism uses a chain to pull slats, chain plates, or metal mesh belts carrying goods, achieving continuous and stable horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveying. It is suitable for efficient transportation of heavy goods, bulk materials, and materials under complex working conditions. Its intelligent monitoring function relies on multiple types of sensors to collect real-time equipment operating data, such as temperature, vibration, tension, and chain wear status. Combined with IoT technology, the data is transmitted to the cloud or local control system. Intelligent algorithms analyze and predict potential faults, enabling abnormal early warning, automatic shutdown protection, and preventative maintenance. This conveyor product is widely used in industries such as metallurgy, hoisting, mining, power, petrochemicals, building materials, light industry, road construction, sugar refining, and environmental protection machinery.

[0003] However, traditional devices still have the following problems when in use:

[0004] Patent application publication number CN105173537B discloses a chain conveyor mechanism. In this chain conveyor mechanism, the sprocket rotates to drive the chain to move. When the object is placed on the connecting rod, the frictional resistance when the chain moves is very small, thereby reducing the load on the motor and improving the service life of the motor. The chain itself is also not easy to wear and has a long service life.

[0005] In the prior art, after a long period of continuous operation, the chain of the chain conveyor mechanism is prone to loosening. Once the chain becomes loose, the contact tightness between the chain and the sprocket will decrease and become loose, which will easily cause the chain to fall off the sprocket.

[0006] Therefore, we need a chain conveyor mechanism for transporting goods with intelligent monitoring capabilities to solve the problem of the chain slack disengaging from the sprocket and prevent the chain from detaching from the sprocket. Summary of the Invention

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 12This invention provides a technical solution for a chain conveyor mechanism for transporting goods with intelligent monitoring function: it includes a chain conveyor body 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chain conveyor body 1, a controller 25 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the front of the support frame 2, a motor 26 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the back of the support frame 2, limit sleeves 23 fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the support frame 2, movable shells 22 slidably connected inside the two limit sleeves 23, an anti-detachment plate 21 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the upper movable shell 22, an anti-detachment plate 24 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the lower movable shell 22, a sensor 27 embedded in the outer wall of the bottom of the anti-detachment plate 21, a rotating shaft 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 26, a winding wheel 31 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3, a rope 310 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding wheel 31, a fixing sleeve 311 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the rope 310, and the outer wall of one end of the fixing sleeve 311 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the movable shell 22.

[0035] The movement of the movable shell 22 causes the first anti-detachment plate 21 and the second anti-detachment plate 24 to tighten towards the center. The first anti-detachment plate 21 and the second anti-detachment plate 24 contact the top and bottom of the chain respectively. When they move towards the center, they drive the chain to move accordingly, changing the angle of the chain and applying a certain tension. In this way, the chain can always maintain a suitable tension, ensuring that the teeth of the chain and the sprocket can mesh tightly, preventing the chain from loosening, and thus preventing the chain from falling off the sprocket, increasing the stability of the operation between the chain and the sprocket.

[0036] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the outer wall of the bottom of the movable shell 22 is in contact with the mounting plate 6. The inner walls of the two mounting plates 6 on opposite sides are fixedly connected to the push spring 62. The push spring 62 is movably inserted with the rubber column 63. The outer walls of the two ends of the rubber column 63 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two mounting plates 6 on opposite sides respectively. The outer wall of the bottom of the other mounting plate 6 is movably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 23.

[0037] Under the action of the pushing spring 62, the movable shell 22 is pushed to slide upward inside the limiting sleeve 23, so that the movable shell 22 drives the anti-detachment plate 1 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24 to return to their original positions. The anti-detachment plate 1 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24 are always on the upper and lower sides of the chain, limiting the chain. During the operation of the chain conveyor body 1, the chain is always protected to prevent the chain from falling off the sprocket.

[0038] In Example 3, based on Example 2, a second motor 4 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the interior of the movable shell 22. A bushing 46 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 4. A drive plate 55 is fixedly connected inside the bushing 46. A threaded rod 41 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the drive plate 55. A limit frame 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable shell 22. A push plate 43 is movably contacted on the outer wall of the top of the limit frame 44. A nut 42 is fixedly connected to the middle position inside the push plate 43. The inner wall of the nut 42 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the limit frame 44. A soft groove 45 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the push plate 43. The outer wall of the top of the soft groove 45 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the first anti-detachment plate 21. A discharge hole 37 is opened at the top of the soft groove 45. The outer wall of the discharge hole 37 penetrates the interior of the inclined plate 36. The outer wall of the inclined plate 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first anti-detachment plate 21. A roller groove 39 is opened on the outer wall of the opposite side of the first anti-detachment plate 21 and the second anti-detachment plate 24.

[0039] As the pusher plate 43 moves upward, it squeezes the soft groove 45, causing the lubricant inside the soft groove 45 to flow out through the discharge hole 37. This adds lubricant to the inside of the anti-detachment plate 21 and provides lubricant to the roller 211, preventing the roller 211 from drying out and increasing friction between the roller 211 and the chain. Correspondingly, it ensures that there is always sufficient lubricant inside the anti-detachment plate 21. When the roller 211 rotates, it can continuously obtain lubricant from the anti-detachment plate 21, keeping the outer wall of the roller 211 always covered with lubricant. This effectively reduces friction between the roller 211 and the chain, prevents the roller 211 from drying out due to insufficient lubrication, and thus reduces wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the chain and the roller 211.

[0040] In Example 4, based on Example 3, an L-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of motor 2 4, a miniature electric telescopic rod 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of L-shaped plate 5, an inclined block 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of miniature electric telescopic rod 51, the outer wall of inclined block 52 is movably inserted into the inside of bushing 46, the outer wall of the top of inclined block 52 is in movable contact with the outer wall of the bottom of threaded rod 41, a sliding cavity 54 is opened on the outer wall of threaded rod 41, and a roller 53 is rotatably connected inside inclined block 52.

[0041] When the threaded rod 41 moves upward, it pushes the force plate 35 and the connecting plate 33 to move upward as well. Then, through the movement of the connecting plate 33, the flow block 32 can be moved out of the interior of the outlet hole 34, thereby adjusting the size of the outlet hole 34 opening, increasing the flexibility of the outlet hole 34, and avoiding unnecessary waste caused by the large opening when adding lubricant to the anti-detachment plate 21. Accordingly, by flexibly adjusting the opening of the lubricant, it is convenient to add lubricant for different situations.

[0042] In Example 5, based on Example 4, a roller 211 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 39. An outflow hole 34 is opened on the outer wall of the opposite side of the anti-detachment plate 1 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24. A sensor 28 is embedded in the outer wall of the top of the anti-detachment plate 24. A force plate 35 is movably contacted inside the anti-detachment plate 1 21. A connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the force plate 35. A flow block 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the connecting plate 33. The outer wall of the flow block 32 is movably inserted into the outflow hole 34. The outer wall of the top of the threaded rod 41 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the force plate 35. A U-shaped frame 38 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the anti-detachment plate 1 21. The interior of the U-shaped frame 38 is movably contacted with the outer wall of the connecting plate 33.

[0043] The lubricant leaves the inside of the outlet hole 34 through the flow block 32, expands the opening structure of the flow block 32, and starts the motor 4 to move, so that the lubricant flows out from the inside of the discharge hole 37, and then flows onto the chain through the flow block 32, thereby completing the addition of chain lubricant, avoiding the chain from drying out and increasing the wear between the chain and the sprocket, and correspondingly increasing the smoothness of the chain in conveying materials.

[0044] In Example 6, based on Example 3, an installation rod 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the mounting plate 6, and an installation sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of another mounting plate 6. A return spring 67 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 61. The outer wall of the top of the return spring 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the mounting rod 64. The outer wall of the mounting rod 64 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting sleeve 61. An insertion hole 65 is opened on the outer wall of the bottom of the movable shell 22. An insertion hole 66 is opened on the lower part of the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 23. The outer wall of one end of the mounting sleeve 61 is movably inserted into the inside of the insertion hole 66. The outer wall of one end of the mounting rod 64 is movably inserted into the inside of the insertion hole 65.

[0045] There is a certain gap between the upper mounting plate 6 and the movable shell 22. By pulling the mounting sleeve 61 upward by hand, the mounting sleeve 61 is separated from the inside of the second insertion hole 66, releasing the fixation of the push spring 62, which facilitates the replacement of the push spring 62. This avoids the push spring 62 being fixed between the limiting sleeve 23 and the movable shell 22, which would increase the replacement time of the push spring 62. Correspondingly, by contacting the mounting sleeve 61 and the mounting rod 64 with the first insertion hole 65 and the second insertion hole 66, the replacement of the push spring 62 can be completed, thus improving the efficiency of the replacement of the push spring 62.

[0046] The working principle and usage process of this invention: During operation, firstly, since the feeding plate connected to the chain on the chain conveyor body 1 in this invention is detachable, the feeding plate can be replaced according to different materials when transporting building materials, light industry, and sugar. The above is the conventional device of the chain conveyor body 1, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] In this invention, the looseness of the chain can be detected in real time by setting up sensor 27. The signal detected by sensor 27 is transmitted to controller 25. When the result received by controller 25 is lower than the preset value, it proves that the chain is loose. At this time, controller 25 immediately sends a signal to start motor 26. Since motor 26 is fixedly connected to rotating shaft 3, the movement of motor 26 will cause rotating shaft 3 to drive winding wheel 31 to rotate. Since winding wheel 31 is fixedly connected to one end of rope 310, the rotation of winding wheel 31 will wind rope 310, thereby shortening the length of rope 310. At the same time as the length of rope 310 shortens, since fixed sleeve 311 is fixedly connected to movable shell 22, Furthermore, the two movable shells 22 are fixedly connected to anti-detachment plate 1 21 and anti-detachment plate 24 respectively. When the rope 310 is subjected to force, it will pull the two movable shells 22 towards the middle through the mechanical interlocking reaction. The movement of the movable shells 22 will cause anti-detachment plate 1 21 and anti-detachment plate 24 to tighten towards the middle. Anti-detachment plate 1 21 and anti-detachment plate 24 will contact the top and bottom of the chain respectively. When they move towards the middle, they will drive the chain to move accordingly, change the angle of the chain and apply a certain tension. In this way, the chain can always maintain a suitable tension, ensure that the teeth of the chain and the sprocket can mesh tightly, prevent the chain from loosening, and thus prevent the chain from falling off the sprocket, increasing the stability of the operation between the chain and the sprocket.

[0048] In this invention, the tilt angle of the chain makes it easier for operators to understand the looseness of the chain, avoiding the situation where operators only discover the looseness when it is obvious or when the chain falls off the sprocket. Accordingly, the tilt angle of the chain makes it easier for operators to detect the looseness of the chain in time, so as to adjust the chain in a timely manner.

[0049] It should be noted that: Motor 26 rotates in both directions. Slightly changing the angle of the chain will not hinder the chain from conveying materials. Furthermore, by limiting the movable shell 22 through the limiting sleeve 23, the direction of movement of the movable shell 22 will be limited, preventing the movable shell 22 from deviating during movement, thereby increasing the stability of the movement of the movable shell 22 driving the anti-detachment plate 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24.

[0050] In this invention, by setting up sensor 27, when the chain reaches its original tension, sensor 27 transmits the detection result to controller 25, and controller 25 then controls motor 26 to stop working. When the movable shell 22 moves towards the center, it will compress and shorten the push spring 62. Furthermore, through the rubber column 63 set inside the push spring 62, the damping coefficient of the rubber column 63 (0.1-0.3) can reduce the vibration amplitude of the push spring 62 by 30% to 50%, reduce the initiation of fatigue cracks, thereby increasing the service life of the push spring 62 and reducing the need for replacement of the push spring 62.

[0051] In this invention, when the operator initially modulates the tension of the chain, the motor 26 drives the rotating shaft 3 and the winding wheel 31 to rotate in opposite directions. Then, the reverse movement of the winding wheel 31 loosens the rope 310. At this time, under the action of the push spring 62, the movable shell 22 is pushed to slide upward inside the limiting sleeve 23, so that the movable shell 22 drives the anti-detachment plate 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24 to return to their original positions. The anti-detachment plate 21 and the anti-detachment plate 24 are always on the upper and lower sides of the chain, limiting the chain. During the operation of the chain conveyor body 1, the chain is always protected to prevent the chain from falling off the sprocket.

[0052] In this invention, the push spring 62 can be replaced by opening the inspection plate on one side of the limiting sleeve 23. First, the operator holds the mounting rod 64 and presses it downwards. The mounting rod 64 is forced to slide into the mounting sleeve 61, pressing the reset spring 67. Since the mounting rod 64 is fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 6, the upper mounting plate 6 moves along with the mounting rod 64 as it moves downwards. When the mounting rod 64 leaves the insertion hole 65, the upper part of the rubber column 63 can be released from fixation. At this time, the upper mounting... There is a certain gap between plate 6 and movable shell 22. By pulling the mounting sleeve 61 upward by hand, the mounting sleeve 61 is separated from the inside of the second insertion hole 66, releasing the fixation of the push spring 62, which facilitates the replacement of the push spring 62. This avoids the push spring 62 being fixed between the limiting sleeve 23 and movable shell 22, which would increase the replacement time of the push spring 62. Correspondingly, by contacting the mounting sleeve 61 and mounting rod 64 with the fixation between the first insertion hole 65 and the second insertion hole 66, the replacement of the push spring 62 can be completed, thus improving the efficiency of the push spring 62 replacement.

[0053] In this invention, an inclined plate 36 is installed inside the anti-detachment plate 21. The inclined plate 36 is higher than the lower part of the inner wall of the anti-detachment plate 21. When the lubricant flows out of the outlet 37 onto the inclined plate 36, because the surface of the inclined plate 36 is inclined, the lubricant flows downward along the angle of inclination of the inclined plate 36 and enters the interior of the anti-detachment plate 21. Through the roller 211 installed on the anti-detachment plate 21, when the roller 211 comes into contact with the chain, the movement of the chain drives the roller 211 to rotate, thereby reducing the friction between the anti-detachment plate 21 and the chain. As the roller 211 rotates, it carries out the lubricant inside the anti-detachment plate 21, causing the outer wall of the roller 211 to be coated with lubricant. The lubricant is fully applied, further reducing the friction between the roller 211 and the chain. As the chain continues to move and the roller 211 continues to rotate, the lubricant can be continuously replenished to the contact surface, ensuring the durability of the lubrication effect. Furthermore, through the outflow hole 34 opened at the bottom of the anti-detachment plate 21, a small amount of lubricant flows out from the outflow hole 34, making the bottom of the anti-detachment plate 21 fully covered with lubricant. Since the friction between the anti-detachment plate 21 and the chain is reduced, the resistance experienced by the chain during operation is also reduced accordingly. Reduced resistance means that the energy required for the chain to run is reduced, thereby reducing the operating energy consumption of the entire system and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the internal lubrication structure of anti-detachment plate 24 is the same as that of anti-detachment plate 21.

[0055] In this invention, the motor 4 is controlled by the controller 25. Due to the fixed connection between the bushing 46 and the driving plate 55, the driving plate 55 rotates simultaneously with the bushing 46. The driving plate 55 passes through the interior of the sliding cavity 54. Since the sliding cavity 54 is formed on the threaded rod 41, the threaded rod 41 rotates simultaneously with the bushing 46. Due to the threaded connection between the threaded rod 41 and the nut 42, the nut 42 moves simultaneously with the rotation of the threaded rod 41. Through the fixed connection between the nut 42 and the push plate 43, the push plate 43 is in close contact with the interior of the movable shell 22, causing the push plate 43 and the nut 42 to interact. The nut 42 drives the push plate 43 to move upward inside the movable shell 22. The contact between the push plate 43 and the movable shell 22 and the movement of the nut 42... The direction of movement is limited to prevent the nut 42 from rotating with the threaded rod 41. Then, the push plate 43 moves upward, which will squeeze the soft groove 45, so that the lubricant inside the soft groove 45 flows out through the discharge hole 37. This adds lubricant to the inside of the anti-detachment plate 21 and provides lubricant to the roller 211, preventing the roller 211 from drying out and increasing the friction between the roller 211 and the chain. Correspondingly, it ensures that there is always sufficient lubricant inside the anti-detachment plate 21. When the roller 211 rotates, it can continuously obtain lubricant from the anti-detachment plate 21, keeping the outer wall of the roller 211 always covered with lubricant. This effectively reduces the friction between the roller 211 and the chain, avoids the roller 211 from drying out due to insufficient lubrication, and thus reduces the wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the chain and the roller 211.

[0056] In this invention, the dryness of the chain can be detected by setting sensor 28. When sensor 28 detects a signal lower than a preset value, controller 25 first controls the miniature electric telescopic rod 51 on the L-shaped plate 5. Through the movement of the miniature electric telescopic rod 51, the tilting block 52 is pushed into the bottom of the threaded rod 41. When the bottom of the threaded rod 41 is supported by the tilting block 52, it will drive the sliding cavity 54 to slide upward on the driving plate 55. Then, through the roller 53 rotatably connected inside the tilting block 52, the friction between the tilting block 52 and the threaded rod 41 is reduced when the tilting block 52 contacts the bottom of the threaded rod 41, so that the tilting block 52 can be inserted into the threaded rod more smoothly. Below 41, due to the rotational connection between the threaded rod 41 and the force plate 35, and the fixed connection between the force plate 35 and the connecting plate 33, when the threaded rod 41 moves upward, it will push the force plate 35 and the connecting plate 33 to move upward as well. Then, through the movement of the connecting plate 33, the flow block 32 can be moved away from the inside of the outlet hole 34, thereby adjusting the size of the outlet hole 34 opening, increasing the flexibility of the outlet hole 34, and avoiding unnecessary waste caused by the large opening when adding lubricant to the anti-detachment plate 21. Accordingly, by flexibly adjusting the opening of the lubricant, it is convenient to add lubricant for different situations.

[0057] It should be noted that the movement of the connecting plate 33 can be limited by the U-shaped frame 38.

[0058] In this invention, the flow block 32 leaves the interior of the outlet hole 34, expands the opening structure of the flow block 32, and starts the motor 4 to move, so that the lubricant flows out from the interior of the discharge hole 37 and then flows onto the chain through the flow block 32, thereby completing the addition of chain lubricant, avoiding the chain from drying out and increasing the wear between the chain and the sprocket, and correspondingly increasing the smoothness of the chain in conveying materials.

[0059] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
