Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary devices for transporting goods, and in particular to a system for changing the direction of movement of transported objects. Background Technology

[0002] Conveyor belt technology was initially used in industries such as coal mining and food processing to replace manual handling of heavy objects. Early conveyor belts were made of leather, rubber, or canvas, and were driven by rollers to form a closed loop, achieving linear transport of goods. Their design was simple, but their load-bearing capacity and durability were limited.

[0003] The current conveyor belts have a fixed direction of movement for items during transport, which cannot change the direction of movement of items during transport and cannot meet the needs of different work scenarios. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a system to change the direction of movement of transported items in order to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the direction of movement of items on existing conveyor belts is fixed during the conveying process, which cannot change the direction of movement of items during the conveying process and cannot meet the needs of different working scenarios. Therefore, this invention proposes a system for changing the direction of movement of conveyed objects.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a system for changing the direction of movement of a conveyed object, comprising a body, the body including side plates symmetrically distributed, support legs installed at the bottom of the side plates, a driving device installed at the right end of the side plates, the driving device including a drive wheel and a drive motor, a driven device installed on the left side of the side plates, the driven device including a driven wheel with an axle passing through it, and a conveying medium connected between the driven wheel and the drive wheel.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying medium includes multiple sets of drive modules, each drive module including a long roller with a hollow structure and a pin passing through it. Connecting blocks are installed at both ends of the pin, and each connecting block has a round hole. A transverse power module is installed between adjacent side plates. The long roller can rotate around the pin, and the pin and the connecting blocks mutually limit each other, making it difficult for the pin to fall out of the connecting blocks.

[0007] Preferably, adjacent drive modules are connected as a whole by a pin engaging a round hole, thereby forming a conveying medium.

[0008] Preferably, the lateral power module is in contact with the drive module in the conveying medium, and the lateral power module is located inside the conveying medium.

[0009] Preferably, the number of the lateral power modules can be selected to be distributed in a single row or double row according to the actual working conditions.

[0010] Preferably, the transverse power module adopts a drive auxiliary structure formed by the combination of a drive roller and a driven roller driving the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the conveyor belt is bonded with guide strips or guide blocks to improve the strength of the conveyor belt and prevent it from turning over. The guide strips can be herringbone patterned guide strips.

[0012] Preferably, the conveyor belt used in the transverse power module can be replaced by a synchronous belt or a similar transmission and conveying accessory.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, during use, a conveying medium composed of multiple drive modules is set on the machine body. A suitable conveying medium is formed according to the actual working scenario. A transverse power module structure is then set below the long rollers. The movement speed of the transverse power module and the main conveyor speed can create various conveying angles for the conveyed materials. The conveyor belt can also be replaced with herringbone synchronous belts or other similar transmission and conveying accessories. Guide wheels can be added to the sides of the conveyor belt or synchronous belt to stabilize the movement direction, or a slanted transition edge can be added to the module belt in the material direction to reduce the possibility of the module belt scratching it, further increasing the stability of the equipment operation and reducing the transverse influence of the conveying medium. Compared to the conventional conveyor belt where the direction of movement of items is difficult to change, the technical solution adopted in this invention allows for variable movement of items on the conveying medium. The direction of movement of items can be changed during the conveying process according to actual working needs, improving the flexibility of the overall structure. The overall structure is compact, with a reasonable spatial layout. It is directly installed between the side plates on both sides, optimizing the existing working space and solving the problem that the direction of movement of items on existing conveyor belts is fixed during conveying, and cannot be changed during the conveying process, thus failing to meet the needs of different working scenarios.

[0014] 2. In this invention, during use, the transverse power module uses an active roller and a driven roller to drive the conveyor belt. Due to the longitudinal friction of the conveying medium, and because ordinary belts on the transverse power module tend to fold and deviate, this design attaches herringbone guide strips or guide blocks to the inner side of the conveyor belt of the transverse power module. This increases the strength of the conveyor belt and makes it less prone to folding. At the same time, the herringbone pattern, together with the roller, creates a centering effect, making the conveyor belt less prone to deviating and wear. A single row of transverse power modules can achieve diversion or side movement at multiple angles, a double row of power modules can achieve centering or splitting into two, and a combination of multiple rows of power modules can form various motion trajectories.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0018] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0019] This invention provides a system for changing the direction of movement of a conveyed object, comprising a body, the body including side plates 1 symmetrically distributed, support legs 101 mounted on the bottom of the side plates 1, a drive device 2 mounted on the right end of the side plates 1, the drive device 2 including a drive wheel 201 and a drive motor 202, a driven device 3 mounted on the left side of the side plates 1, the driven device 3 including a driven wheel 301, a shaft 302 passing through the driven wheel 301, a conveying medium 4 connected between the driven wheel 301 and the drive wheel 201, the conveying medium 4 including multiple sets of drive modules 401, each drive module 401 including a long roller 402, the long roller 402 having a hollow structure, the long roller... A pin 403 passes through the column 402, and connecting blocks 404 are installed at both ends of the pin 403. Each connecting block 404 has a round hole 405. A transverse power module 5 is installed between adjacent side plates 1. The long roller 402 can rotate around the pin 403. The pin 403 and the connecting block 404 mutually limit each other, and the pin 403 is not easy to fall off from the connecting block 404. Adjacent drive modules 401 are connected into a whole by a through pin 406 and a round hole 405, thus forming a conveying medium 4. The transverse power module 5 is in contact with the drive module 401 in the conveying medium 4. The transverse power module 5 is located inside the conveying medium 4, which facilitates changing the direction of movement of the items conveyed on the transverse power module 5. In practical use, the conveying main device of this technical solution is a hollow cylindrical long roller 402. The long roller 402 is rotatably set between adjacent connecting blocks 404 by pins 403, forming modules of different sizes. The long roller 402 can rotate freely around the pins 403. Multiple modules can be freely spliced ​​together and connected by pins 406 through round holes 405 at both ends, and can be spliced ​​into different lengths and widths as a whole conveying medium 4. The transverse power module 5 is fixed on the side plate 1. The side plate 1 and the support leg 101 together form the body. The front drive motor 202 and drive wheel 201 together form the drive device 2, and the rear driven wheel 301 and shaft 302 together form the driven device 3. The conveying medium 4 is connected into a ring by pins 406 and installed on the drive device 2 and the driven device 3. The drive device 2 drives the conveying medium 4 to rotate through the drive wheel 201, and the material is conveyed on the conveying medium 4. The transverse power module 5 is in direct contact with the long roller 402 in the drive module 401. Located inside the conveying medium 4, the transverse power module 5 executes actions according to control commands issued by the operating system, driving the roller to rotate and changing the trajectory of the conveyed material. By setting the conveying medium 4, composed of multiple drive modules 401, on the machine body, a suitable conveying medium 4 can be formed according to the actual working scenario. The transverse power module 5 structure is then set below the long roller 402. The movement speed of the transverse power module 5 and the main conveyor speed can create various different angles for conveying the material. The conveyor belt 504 can also be replaced with... All similar conveyor accessories, such as herringbone synchronous belts, can have guide wheels added to the sides of the 504 conveyor belt or synchronous belt to stabilize the direction of movement, or a beveled transition edge can be added to the module belt in the material direction to reduce the possibility of the module belt scratching it, further increasing the stability of equipment operation and reducing the lateral influence of the conveying medium 4 on it. Compared with the conventional conveyor belt where the direction of movement of the conveyed items is not easy to change, the technical solution adopted by this invention can realize the variable direction of movement of the items on the conveying medium 4. According to the actual work requirements, the direction of movement of the items during the conveying process can be changed, improving the flexibility of the overall structure. The overall structure is compact and the spatial layout is reasonable. It can be directly installed between the side plates 1 on both sides, optimizing the existing work space.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1-7 As shown, the number of transverse power modules 5 can be selected according to the actual working conditions, with a single or double row distribution. The transverse power module 5 adopts a drive auxiliary structure formed by the combination of a driving roller 501 and a driven roller 502 driving the conveyor belt 504. The inner side of the conveyor belt 504 is bonded with guide strips 503 or guide blocks to improve the strength of the conveyor belt 504 and prevent it from turning over. The guide strips 503 can be herringbone guide strips 503. The conveyor belt 504 used in the transverse power module 5 can also be replaced with a synchronous belt or similar transmission and conveying accessories. The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that, in use, the transverse power module 5 uses an active roller 501 and a driven roller 502 to drive the conveyor belt 504. Due to the longitudinal friction of the conveying medium 4, and because ordinary belts on the transverse power module 5 may experience edge rolling and deviation, this design attaches a herringbone guide strip 503 or guide block to the inner side of the conveyor belt 504 of the transverse power module 5. This increases the strength of the conveyor belt 504 and makes it less prone to edge rolling. At the same time, the herringbone pattern, together with the roller, forms a centering effect, making it less likely for the conveyor belt 504 to deviate and cause wear. A single row of transverse power modules 5 can achieve multiple angles of diversion or side movement, a double row of power modules can achieve centering or splitting into two, and a combination of multiple rows of power modules can form various motion trajectories.

[0021] Working Principle: In this technical solution, the main conveying device is a hollow cylindrical long roller. The long roller is rotatably mounted between adjacent connecting blocks using pins, forming modules of varying sizes. The long roller can rotate freely around the pins, and multiple modules can be freely spliced ​​together, connected by through-pins through round holes at both ends, allowing for the assembly of different lengths and widths as a single conveying medium. A transverse power module is fixed to the side plate. The side plate and support legs together form the machine body. The front drive motor and drive wheels together form the drive unit, while the rear driven wheel and shaft together form the driven unit. The conveying medium is connected in a ring by through-pins and mounted on the drive unit and driven unit. The drive unit drives the conveying medium through the drive wheels, allowing the material to be conveyed on the conveying medium. The transverse power module directly contacts the long roller in the drive module. Located inside the conveying medium, the transverse power module executes actions according to control commands issued by the operating system, driving the roller to rotate and changing the trajectory of the conveyed material.
