Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary structures for object conveying, and in particular to a structure for changing the direction of movement of conveyed objects. Background Technology

[0002] Object conveying devices are mechanical equipment or systems used to move and transfer objects between different locations or stages. They are widely used in various fields such as industrial production, logistics and warehousing, construction, and agriculture. Their core function is to achieve efficient, safe, and precise transport of objects, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and optimizing resource allocation.

[0003] In existing methods, objects can only be transported in a fixed direction during transport, and the direction of transport cannot be changed for different situations. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a structure that can change the direction of transport to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing objects can only be transported in a fixed direction during the transport process, and cannot be changed in the transport direction for different situations. Therefore, this invention proposes a structure to change the running direction of the transported object.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a structure for changing the direction of transport of objects, comprising a frame, a rotatable drive shaft mounted on the left end of the frame, a rotatable driven shaft mounted on the right end of the frame, the drive shaft and the driven shaft being connected by a modular belt, a drive motor also mounted on the frame, the output end of the drive motor being connected to the drive shaft, a sorting module disposed below the modular belt, the sorting module being disposed between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, the modular belt being composed of multiple sets of chain plates spliced ​​together, and rotatable rollers mounted on the chain plates.

[0006] Preferably, the chain plate is provided with grooves for splicing adjacent chain plates, and the chain plates are spliced ​​in a ring around the drive shaft and the driven shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the width of the module strip is adaptively adjusted according to the width of the frame.

[0008] Preferably, a cavity is installed below the roller, the cavity is fixedly connected to the frame, and universal balls are evenly distributed in the cavity, the universal balls abutting against the roller.

[0009] Preferably, a drive module is provided below the omnidirectional ball. The drive module can be a belt drive or a roller drive. The omnidirectional wheel, the cavity, and the drive module constitute a sorting module.

[0010] Preferably, a belt-driven trolley is used as the driving power source, employing a combination of belt drive and rollers.

[0011] Preferably, the drive module can also be a multi-wedge belt driving roller drive.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, during use, the modular belt is spliced ​​together from multiple width specifications to form the required width, and multiple sections are strung together in the length direction to form the required length. It forms a ring around the drive shaft and driven shaft. The drive shaft and driven shaft are driven by a drive motor through grooves on the matching chain plate, which drives the modular belt to run along the length direction of the equipment. The rollers on the modular belt can rotate around the center of the cylinder, with their rotation direction perpendicular to the running direction of the modular belt. The sorting module is driven by a bottom drive module, which drives the universal ball to rotate, and then drives the rollers on the modular belt to rotate, changing the direction of the material conveyed on the modular belt to achieve the function of changing the material's running trajectory or sorting. When it is necessary to change the material's conveying direction, the corresponding drive module is activated. The drive module drives the universal ball to rotate, and the universal ball abuts against the roller, thereby driving the roller to rotate. Since the roller can rotate around its cylindrical center and the rotation direction is perpendicular to the running direction of the modular belt, the material on the modular belt changes its running trajectory, realizing conveying in different directions.

[0013] 2. In this invention, the module belt width can be flexibly adjusted according to the frame width during use, making the structure suitable for different scenarios. This improves the overall performance and reliability of the conveying system, enabling the structure to maintain optimal operating conditions over a long period and meet constantly changing conveying needs.

[0016] 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.

[0017] 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.

[0018] This invention provides a structure for changing the direction of movement of a conveyed object, including a frame 1. A rotatable drive shaft 2 is mounted on the left end of the frame 1, and a rotatable driven shaft 3 is mounted on the right end of the frame 1. The drive shaft 2 and the driven shaft 3 are connected by a modular belt 4. A drive motor 101 is also mounted on the frame 1, and the output end of the drive motor 101 is connected to the drive shaft 2. A sorting module 5 is disposed below the modular belt 4, between the drive shaft 2 and the driven shaft 3. The modular belt 4 is composed of multiple sets of chain plates 401 spliced ​​together. Rotatable rollers 403 are mounted on the chain plates 401, and grooves 402 are provided on the chain plates 401 for adjacent chain plates. The chain plates 401 are spliced ​​together in a ring around the drive shaft 2 and the driven shaft 3. A cavity 501 is installed below the rollers 403 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Universal balls 502 are evenly distributed within the cavity 501 and abut against the rollers 403. A drive module 503 is located below the universal balls 502. The drive module 503 can be belt-driven or roller-driven. The universal balls, cavities 501, and drive module 503 constitute the sorting module 5. When the direction of the conveyed object needs to be changed, the drive module 503 is activated, driving the universal balls 502 to rotate via belt or roller drive. Because the universal balls 502 abut against the rollers 403, the rotation of the universal balls 502 causes the rollers 403 and chain plates 401 to deflect accordingly, thereby changing the running direction of the module belt 4. The width of module belt 4 can be adaptively adjusted according to the width of frame 1, which makes the structure suitable for conveying scenarios of different sizes and shapes, improving its flexibility and practicality.

[0019] In actual use, the structure that changes the direction of the conveyed object is formed by splicing multiple width specifications to achieve the required width and stringing multiple sections together in the length direction to form the required length. It forms a ring around the drive shaft and driven shaft 3. The drive shaft 2 and driven shaft 3 are driven by the drive motor 101 through the groove 402 on the matching chain plate 401 to drive the module belt 4 to run along the length direction of the equipment. The rollers 403 of the module belt 4 can rotate around the center of the cylinder on the module belt 4, and their rotation direction is perpendicular to the running direction of the module belt 4. The sorting module 5 is driven by a bottom drive module 503, which rotates the omnidirectional ball 502, which in turn rotates the rollers 403 on the module belt 4. This changes the direction of the material conveyed on the module belt 4, achieving the function of changing the material's trajectory or sorting. When it is necessary to change the material's conveying direction, the corresponding drive module 503 is activated. The drive module 503 drives the omnidirectional ball 502 to rotate, and the omnidirectional ball 502 abuts against the rollers 403, thereby driving the rollers 403 to rotate. Since the rollers 403 can rotate around their cylindrical center and the rotation direction is perpendicular to the running direction of the module belt 4, the material on the module belt 4 changes its trajectory, realizing conveying in different directions. This solves the problem that existing objects can only move in a fixed direction during the conveying process and cannot change the conveying direction for different situations. The width of the module belt 4 can be adaptively adjusted according to the width of the frame 1, and the length can also be formed by stringing together multiple sections to achieve the required length. It has good flexibility and applicability and can meet the needs of changing the conveying direction of objects in different scenarios.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the width of the module strip 4 is adaptively adjusted according to the width of the frame 1. The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that, during use, the width of the module belt 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the width of the frame 1, making the structure suitable for different scenarios. This improves the overall performance and reliability of the conveying system, enabling the structure to maintain optimal operating conditions over a long period and meet constantly changing conveying needs.

[0021] Example 2 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the belt-driven and roller-driven method uses a belt trolley as the drive power source. The drive module 503 can also be a multi-wedge belt driving roller as the drive power source. The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is that, in use, the bottom drive mode can include various drive forms, such as belt drive and roller drive. The belt trolley is driven by an electric roller, which drives the belt to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the ball on the upper part of the belt to rotate within the cavity 501, further driving the cylinder of the module belt 4 in contact with the ball to rotate, thereby changing the material running trajectory on the module belt 4 or the sorting result. The roller drive can also be achieved by using a multi-wedge belt (including synchronous belt, chain, round belt, etc.) to drive the roller to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the ball to rotate, and further driving the roller 403 of the module belt 4 to rotate to achieve the sorting purpose.

[0022] Working principle: Under normal conveying conditions, the drive shaft and driven shaft are connected by a modular belt, which drives the driven shaft to rotate, thus conveying the object along a fixed direction. The modular belt is composed of multiple sets of chain plates, on which rotatable rollers are installed. The rollers mainly serve to support and reduce friction during conveying.

[0023] When the direction of travel of conveyed objects needs to be changed, the sorting module starts working. Located below the conveyor belt, the sorting module includes cavities, omnidirectional balls, and a drive module. The drive module uses either a belt drive or a combination of belt and roller drives. When the corresponding drive module is activated, it causes the omnidirectional balls to rotate within the cavity. Because the omnidirectional balls contact the rollers, their rotation causes the rollers to rotate around their cylindrical center, perpendicular to the original direction of travel of the conveyor belt. This changes the trajectory of the objects on the conveyor belt, thus enabling conveying in different directions. In logistics and warehousing scenarios, when objects need to be sorted from the main conveyor line to different branch lines, simply activating the drive module for the corresponding branch line direction will change the object's direction of travel, allowing it to accurately enter the designated branch line.

[0024] The width of the module belt can be adjusted to fit the width of the frame, and the length can be achieved by stringing together multiple sections to form the required length. This allows the structure to flexibly adapt to conveying scenarios of different sizes and shapes.
