Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial conveying machinery technology, and in particular to a suspended conveyor line for building materials. Background Technology

[0002] To adapt to the processing needs of different factories for building materials, the overhead conveying system for building materials (such as steel structures and sheet metal structures) often requires the transfer of materials between different process routes, i.e., from workshop A to workshop B. The overhead conveying line for building materials is a logistics equipment system specifically designed for the automated and continuous aerial transport of various building components and materials within factories, warehouses, or construction sites. Compared with ground conveying equipment, its advantages are that the equipment has a high degree of automation, can automatically transport materials according to the route without manual operation, and has a higher space utilization rate.

[0003] In existing technologies, the switching of building material conveyor lines mainly relies on the following two methods: one is to set up swingable branch tracks or movable track sections at the intersection of tracks, but this structure relies on external power and complex control systems, resulting in a high failure rate and high maintenance costs; the other is to move the entire conveyor trolley along with the materials to another track through a transfer station, but this mechanism is bulky, occupies a lot of space, and has secondary positioning problems. Regardless of which method is used, additional protective components are needed to improve the stability of building materials during the transfer process. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a mechanical device that is simple in structure, reliable in operation, requires no additional power, and can improve transportation stability at a low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses a suspended conveyor line for building materials, which aims to solve the technical problem of insufficient functionality in the building material transfer module of traditional suspended conveyor lines for building materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A suspended conveyor line for building materials includes a conveyor line, a clamping mechanism for fixing is provided at the bottom of the conveyor line, the clamping mechanism includes a tray installed below the conveyor line, a rotating motor is fixedly installed on the top of the tray, and a plurality of electrically controlled clamps for controlling the placement angle of building materials are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the tray. The clamping mechanism is provided with a positioning mechanism on its side to provide support for building materials. The positioning mechanism includes a frame distributed on the side of the electronically controlled clamp. The frame is used to place and transport the plate-shaped building materials. A pressure plate is symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the frame. An oil pipe is fixedly installed at each end of the frame. A threaded pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the pressure plate. A drive sleeve is slidably installed at one end of the oil pipe. The conveyor line drives the clamping mechanism, which is clamped on the outside of the positioning mechanism, to move. In coordination with the control and operation of the clamping mechanism and the positioning mechanism, the stacked building materials are stably transferred.

[0006] By replacing the traditional frame structure for supporting building materials with a clamping and positioning mechanism on the existing suspended building material conveyor line, this invention first utilizes the clamping mechanism's placement and steering to switch tracks between different conveyor lines. The main components of this clamping mechanism are steel mechanical parts, resistant to dust, moisture, and impact, with a long service life, making it suitable for the harsh environment of building material production. Thanks to the clamping mechanism's special clamping mode, based on the traditional single-sided clamping structure of the conveyor line, this unique engagement angle and force structure ensure absolute stability after track switching, preventing the risk of derailment due to vibration or load shaking. At the same time, this positioning mechanism can work with the clamping mechanism to change the placement angle in an alternating manner, increasing the lateral support and longitudinal pressing force on the building materials, thereby significantly improving the stability of the building materials during the transfer process. This also avoids the expensive use of protective components in traditional conveyor lines, making it more functional and economical.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the output end of the rotary motor extends vertically through to the bottom of the tray and is fixedly connected to a base, and several of the electrically controlled clamps are fixedly installed on the side of the base.

[0008] Based on the existing suspended conveyor line for building materials, an electrically controlled clamping structure that is deflected by a rotating motor is installed. The electrically controlled clamping clamping with a lateral clamping angle works in conjunction with the operation of the rotating motor to drive the building materials to switch tracks between different conveyor lines. The main components of this clamping mechanism are steel mechanical parts, which are resistant to dust, moisture, and impact, and have a long service life.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the drive sleeve and the threaded pipe are threadedly connected, and a piston is fixedly installed at the other end of the oil pipe.

[0010] By adding a pressure plate structure driven by oil pipes, piston components, drive sleeves, and threaded pipes to the frame of a traditional conveyor line for building materials, this system can provide basic fixation to the frame and lateral support to the sides of the frame. Meanwhile, another pressure plate that flips over can press and engage with the top of the frame, providing longitudinal pressure to the building materials inside the frame. Utilizing a unique engagement angle and force structure, this clamping mechanism ensures absolute stability after rail replacement, preventing derailment risks caused by vibration or load swaying. This significantly improves the stability of building materials during transport, while avoiding the expensive use of protective components in traditional conveyor lines, making it more functional and economical.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping ends of several of the electronically controlled clamps are fixedly connected to a pair of clamping plates. An extension plate is provided on the top side of the pressing plate, and the clamping plates are clamped and fixed to the outside of the extension plate, so that the pressing plates are vertically distributed on the side of the frame and provide lateral support force to the frame.

[0012] The extension plate structure additionally set on the side of the pressure plate is used in conjunction with the clamping plate at the end of the electronic control clamp to form a fixation. When the electronic control clamp is clamped on the pressure plate, the pressure plate can provide lateral support force to the frame in a vertically distributed manner, thereby greatly improving the stability of the frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a silicone plate is fixedly installed on the side of the pressing plate, and the silicone plate, after being rotated, presses against the top of the frame, providing continuous and flexible pressing against the top of the building material located inside the frame.

[0014] By using a silicone plate additionally set on the side of the pressing plate, when the pressing plate is driven and rotates, the silicone plate can be squeezed and fixed to the top of the internal sheet material of the frame, thereby providing longitudinal pressing force to the sheet material and further improving the stability of the frame while reducing operating costs.

[0015] As can be seen from the above, the suspended conveyor line for building materials provided by the present invention has the following technical effects.

[0016] Firstly, by replacing the traditional frame structure for supporting building materials with a clamping and positioning mechanism on the existing suspended building material conveyor line, the clamping mechanism utilizes an electrically controlled clamp with a lateral clamping angle in conjunction with the operation of a rotating motor to drive the building materials to switch tracks between different conveyor lines. The main components of this clamping mechanism are steel mechanical parts, which are resistant to dust, moisture, and impact, and have a long service life. Furthermore, thanks to the special clamping mode of the clamping mechanism, based on the traditional single-sided clamping structure of the conveyor line, the unique engagement angle and force structure ensure absolute stability after track switching, preventing the risk of derailment caused by vibration or load shaking.

[0017] Secondly, by adding a pressure plate structure driven by oil pipes, piston components, drive sleeves, and threaded pipes to the frame of the traditional conveyor line, the pressure plate in the initial position can work with the electric control clamp to form a basic fixation for the frame and provide lateral support to the sides of the frame. The other pressure plate, which flips over, can squeeze and lock onto the top of the frame, providing longitudinal pressure to the building materials inside the frame. This greatly improves the stability of the building materials during the transfer process, while avoiding the expensive use of protective components in traditional conveyor lines. It is more functional and economical, thus greatly improving the stability of the building materials during the transfer process. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0028] The suspended conveyor line for building materials disclosed in this invention is mainly used in scenarios where building materials are transferred between different workshops.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 8 A suspended conveyor line for building materials includes a conveyor line 1, a clamping mechanism 2 for fixing is provided at the bottom of the conveyor line 1, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a tray 201 installed below the conveyor line 1, a rotating motor 202 is fixedly installed on the top of the tray 201, and a number of electrically controlled clamps 203 for controlling the placement angle of building materials are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the tray 201. The clamping mechanism 2 is provided with a positioning mechanism 3 on its side to provide support for the building materials. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a frame 301 distributed on the side of the electric control clamp 203. The frame 301 is used to place and transport the plate-shaped building materials. A pressure plate 302 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the frame 301. An oil pipe 303 is fixedly installed at both ends of the frame 301. A threaded pipe 304 is fixedly installed at the end of the pressure plate 302. A drive sleeve 305 is slidably installed at one end of the oil pipe 303. The conveyor line 1 drives the clamping mechanism 2, which is clamped on the outside of the positioning mechanism 3, to move. In coordination with the control and operation of the clamping mechanism 2 and the positioning mechanism 3, the stacked building materials are stably transferred.

[0030] In this embodiment: the worker places the building materials to be transferred inside the frame 301, and at the same time, the worker starts the conveyor line 1. The running conveyor line 1 controls the movement of the electrically controlled clamp 203 clamped on the top of the frame 301, causing the frame 301 to move the building materials along the trajectory set by the conveyor line 1; Figure 8 For example, the frame 301 moves the building materials along the bottom of the B1 conveyor line 1 until it reaches the close end of the B1 conveyor line 1 and the B2 conveyor line 1. At this time, the electronically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of the B1 conveyor line 1 will release the clamp on the pressure plate 302 on one side of the top of the frame 301, while the electronically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of the B2 conveyor line 1 will clamp the pressure plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301, thereby transferring the frame 301 loaded with building materials from the B1 conveyor line 1 to the B2 conveyor line 1.

[0031] The top of the conveyor line 1 is equipped with a stepper motor 101 that provides driving force. The stepper motor 101 drives the built-in sprocket inside the conveyor line 1 to move, thereby driving the frame 301 to move. The pallet 201 and the conveyor line 1 are rotatably connected by several chains 2011, so as not to affect the normal travel of the pallet 201 at the bottom bend of the conveyor line 1.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, the output end of the rotating motor 202 extends vertically to the bottom of the support plate 201 and is fixedly connected to a base 204, and several electrically controlled clamps 203 are fixedly installed on the side of the base 204.

[0033] by Figure 8For example, the frame 301 moves the building materials along the bottom of conveyor line 1 (B1) until it reaches the point where conveyor lines 1 and 1 (B2) are close together. At this point, the electrically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of conveyor line 1 releases its grip on the pressure plate 302 on one side of the top of the frame 301, while the electrically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of conveyor line 1 (B2) clamps the pressure plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301. This transfers the frame 301, loaded with building materials, from conveyor line 1 (B1) to conveyor line 1 (B2). The frame 301 then moves the building materials along... The bottom of conveyor line 1 continues to move until it reaches the end where conveyor lines 1 and 1 are close together. At this time, the rotating motor 202 at the bottom of conveyor line 1 runs, causing the base 204, the electrical control clamp 203 and the frame 301 to rotate 180 degrees, transferring the frame 301 to the distribution end close to B3. At the same time, the electrical control clamp 203 at the bottom of conveyor line 1 clamps the pressure plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301, thereby transferring the frame 301 loaded with building materials from conveyor line 1 to conveyor line 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 In a preferred embodiment, the drive sleeve 305 and the threaded pipe 304 are threaded together, and a piston 306 is fixedly installed at the other end of the oil pipe 303.

[0035] Under normal conditions, the pressure plate 302 located on top of the frame 301 is perpendicular to the frame 301. At this time, the electronically controlled clamp 203 clamps and fixes the pressure plate 302 to its outer side. While clamping the pressure plate 302, the electronically controlled clamp 203 also presses against the piston 306 at the end of the oil pipe 303, thereby increasing the oil pressure inside the oil pipe 303 and pushing the drive sleeve 305 to move horizontally along the outer side of the threaded pipe 304. Simultaneously, the threaded pipe 304 is driven by the threads, causing it to rotate and press against the top of the frame 301, thus fixing the internal building materials of the frame 301. Figure 8For example, the frame 301 moves the building material along the bottom of conveyor line 1 (B1) until it reaches the point where conveyor lines 1 and 1 (B2) are close together. At this point, the electrically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of conveyor line 1 will release its grip on the top side pressing plate 302 of the frame 301 in advance. This causes the other pressing plate 302 to lose the drive of the drive sleeve 305 and return to its original position, adhering to the outside of the frame 301. The entire frame 301 continues to be suspended at the bottom of conveyor line 1 and moves slightly. Until it is completely close to the B2 conveyor line 1, the electronically controlled clamp 203 located at the bottom of the B2 conveyor line 1 will clamp the pressure plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301. While clamping, it will also squeeze the piston 306 at the end of the oil pipe 303, thereby pushing the pressure plate 302, which has lost its clamping, to flip over onto the top of the frame 301, continuing to maintain the stability of the building materials inside the frame 301, and transferring the frame 301 loaded with building materials from the B1 conveyor line 1 to the B2 conveyor line 1.

[0036] As can be further explained, the frame 301 of this application can be changed to different shapes as needed to adapt to different building material transportation needs. The building materials can be plates, strip steel, bricks, bagged sand and gravel, powder, etc.

[0037] The frame 301 has a pad 3011 fixedly installed inside to support the building materials, while the side of the pressing plate 302 has a silicone plate 3022 fixedly installed. After rotation, the silicone plate 3022 presses against the top of the frame 301, providing continuous and flexible pressing against the top of the building materials located inside the frame 301.

[0038] Furthermore, a torsion spring 307 is sleeved and fixed between the end of the pressure plate 302 and the frame 301. When the electronically controlled clamp 203 clamps the pressure plate 302, it will also squeeze the piston 306 at the end of the oil pipe 303, thereby increasing the oil pressure inside the oil pipe 303 and pushing the drive sleeve 305 to move horizontally along the outside of the threaded pipe 304. While moving, the threaded pipe 304 is driven by the thread, causing the threaded pipe 304 to overcome the resistance of the torsion spring 307 and drive another pressure plate 302 to flip and press against the top of the frame 301. When the pressure plate 302 loses the push of the drive sleeve 305, it will be driven by the torsion spring 307, thereby resetting and rotating and re-fitting against the outside of the frame 301.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping ends of several electronically controlled clamps 203 are fixedly connected to a pair of clamping plates 205. An extension plate 3021 is provided on the top side of the pressing plate 302. The clamping plates 205 clamp and fix to the outside of the extension plate 3021, causing another pressing plate 302 to be vertically distributed on the side of the frame 301. The pressing plate 302 on the clamped extension plate 3021 will adhere to the side of the frame 301 (e.g., ...). Figure 3As shown), the extension plate 3021 and the pressing plate 302 form an "L"-shaped structure that provides a clamping space for the clamping plate 205 and allows the frame 301 to rest stably on the side of the pressing plate 302, forming a stable lateral support force.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the worker places the building materials to be transported inside the frame 301, and at the same time starts the conveyor line 1. The running conveyor line 1 controls the movement of the electrically controlled clamp 203 clamped on the top of the frame 301, causing the frame 301 to move the building materials along the trajectory set by the conveyor line 1. Under normal conditions, the pressure plate 302 located on the top of the frame 301 is perpendicular to the frame 301 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), at this time, the electronically controlled clamp 203 clamps and fixes the outer side of the pressing plate 302. While the electronically controlled clamp 203 clamps the pressing plate 302, it also squeezes the piston 306 at the end of the oil pipe 303, thereby increasing the oil pressure inside the oil pipe 303 and pushing the drive sleeve 305 to move horizontally along the outer side of the threaded pipe 304. At the same time, the threaded pipe 304 is driven by the thread, causing the threaded pipe 304 to drive another pressing plate 302 to flip and press onto the top of the frame 301 (flipping direction as shown). Figure 7 (As indicated by the arrow), and then fix the building materials inside the frame 301, so as to Figure 8Taking the top view as an example, the frame 301 moves the building material along the bottom of the B1 conveyor line 1 until it reaches the close end of the B1 and B2 conveyor lines 1. At this time, the electronically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of the B1 conveyor line 1 will release the clamp on the top side of the frame 301 pressing plate 302 in advance, causing the other pressing plate 302 to lose the drive of the drive sleeve 305 and return to its original position against the outside of the frame 301. The entire frame 301 continues to be suspended at the bottom of the B1 conveyor line 1 and moves slightly until it is completely close to the B2 conveyor line 1. At this time, the electronically controlled clamp 203 at the bottom of the B2 conveyor line 1 will clamp the pressing plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301. While clamping, it will also squeeze the piston 306 at the end of the oil pipe 303, thereby pushing the pressing plate 302 that has lost clamping. The cover is flipped over on top of the frame 301 to maintain the stability of the building materials inside the frame 301 and transfer the frame 301 loaded with building materials from conveyor line 1 to conveyor line 1. The frame 301 carries the building materials along the bottom of conveyor line 1 until it moves to the close end of conveyor line 1 and conveyor line 1. At this time, the rotating motor 202 located at the bottom of conveyor line 1 runs, causing the base 204, the electric control clamp 203 and the frame 301 to rotate 180 degrees, transferring the frame 301 to the distribution end close to B3. At the same time, the electric control clamp 203 located at the bottom of conveyor line 1 clamps the pressing plate 302 on the other side of the top of the frame 301, thereby transferring the frame 301 loaded with building materials from conveyor line 1 to conveyor line 1.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
