Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveyor technology, and more specifically to a conveyor line for producing molded sheet materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the sheet metal manufacturing industry, the conveying of shaped sheets is a crucial step. Traditional sheet metal conveying methods often rely on simple conveyor belts or rollers. While these methods can meet basic conveying needs to a certain extent, their limitations and shortcomings gradually become apparent when faced with complex and ever-changing conveying scenarios.

[0003] Firstly, traditional conveyor belt or roller conveyor systems typically restrict the movement of shaped sheet metal along a single straight line, lacking necessary flexibility. However, in actual production, the sheet metal often requires processing through multiple stages and equipment, whose locations and layouts are rarely simple linear arrangements but rather complex and varied. Therefore, traditional conveying methods often necessitate additional transfer equipment or manual operation when faced with such complex layouts, which not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, in traditional conveying methods, the contact area between the formed sheet and the conveying surface is often small during the conveying process, and the sheet is prone to movement deviation and deformation due to unevenness or tilt of the conveying surface. This deviation and deformation not only affect the quality of the sheet but also cause difficulties in subsequent processing and handling. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a production conveyor line for molded sheet materials, capable of pushing molded sheet materials in two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a production conveyor line for molded sheet metal, including a frame, and further comprising: The driving rollers are multiple in number and are rotatably mounted inside the frame. The multiple driving rollers are arranged inside the frame along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The roller assembly is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive roller. Multiple roller assemblies are installed on each drive roller. The forming sheet can be placed horizontally on the roller assembly. The roller assembly can push the forming sheet to move in two mutually perpendicular directions, one of which is the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The roller assembly includes an inner support frame and push wheels. The push wheels are rotatably mounted on the inner support frame. There are multiple push wheels, which form two push disc assemblies on both sides of the inner support frame. Each push disc assembly includes multiple push wheels evenly distributed circumferentially, and the push wheels on the two push disc assemblies are intersected. The push wheels on the two push disc assemblies form a complete circle on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the drive wheel.

[0007] Preferably, the drive roller has a hollow interior, and a first gear is sleeved on one end of the drive roller. The first gear is rotatably mounted inside the frame, and a second gear that meshes with the first gear is rotatably mounted inside the frame. A first motor for driving the second gear to rotate is fixed inside the frame.

[0008] Preferably, each drive wheel on the drive roller has an opening on its inner side.

[0009] Preferably, the drive roller has a support rod inside, with both ends of the support rod passing through both ends of the drive roller and fixed to the frame. A drive component corresponding to the roller assembly is fixed on the support rod, with the drive component facing upward. When the drive wheel rotates with the drive roller to above the drive component, the drive component can pass through the opening to contact the drive wheel above and drive the drive wheel to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the driving component includes a connecting belt, a rotating wheel is rotatably mounted inside the frame, the connecting belt is sleeved on the rotating wheel, and a second motor for driving the rotating wheel to rotate is fixed inside the frame.

[0011] Preferably, the driving component further includes a linear push rod fixed on the support rod, and the end of the linear push rod is equipped with a freely rotatable pressure wheel. The pressure wheel pushes the connecting belt through the opening to contact the corresponding driving wheel. When the connecting belt moves, the connecting belt can drive the corresponding driving wheel to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, guide wheels are rotatably mounted at both ends of the inner side of the opening.

[0013] Preferably, two linear push rods form a group, one group of linear push rods corresponds to one roller group, and the two linear push rods correspond one-to-one with the two push disk groups inside the roller group.

[0014] Preferably, the first motor and the second motor are stepper motors.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The roller assembly design ensures that the formed sheet material remains horizontal during the conveying process, avoiding movement deviations and deformation caused by insufficient contact surface or tilting, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the conveying.

[0016] The roller assembly itself has the function of pushing the formed plate above it to move. During the rotation of the drive wheel installed on the roller assembly, it can drive the plate to move in another direction. These two directions are two mutually perpendicular directions. It is not limited to the straight forward direction of the conveyor line, but can also move laterally on the horizontal plane. This flexibility allows the conveyor line to adapt to more varied conveying needs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention is illustrated below with specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] Example 1 like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a production conveyor line for forming sheet metal is provided, including a frame 1, a drive roller 2, and a roller assembly 3.

[0026] Multiple drive rollers 2 are rotatably mounted inside the frame 1. These drive rollers 2 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor line within the frame 1. The drive rollers 2 are components arranged along the entire conveyor line, responsible for pushing the formed sheet material forward in the conveying direction. When these drive rollers 2 rotate, they effectively drive the formed sheet material to move. The two ends of these drive rollers 2 are connected to the two side walls of the frame 1, respectively, achieving their lateral distribution on the frame 1.

[0027] Roller sets 3 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of drive rollers 2. Multiple roller sets 3 are mounted on each drive roller 2. The forming sheet can be placed horizontally on the roller sets 3. The roller sets 3 can push the forming sheet along two mutually perpendicular directions, one of which is the conveying direction of the conveyor line. When the sheet is placed on the roller sets 3, it is in a horizontal position. Regardless of the rotation angle, the highest point of contact between the roller sets 3 and the sheet remains constant, ensuring no gaps exist between the roller sets 3 and the sheet. This design allows the roller sets 3 to easily move the sheet during rotation, while avoiding movement deviations caused by insufficient contact surface between the sheet and the bottom support, as well as deformation problems caused by tilting. In terms of layout, two mutually perpendicular movement directions are set: one direction is along the forward direction of the conveyor line, and the other direction is horizontal and perpendicular to the forward direction of the conveyor line. This horizontal movement setting not only pushes the forming sheet away from the conveyor line but also allows for flexible changes to its movement path.

[0028] The roller assembly 3 includes an inner support frame 4 and push wheels. The push wheels are rotatably mounted on the inner support frame 4. The rotation of the push wheels drives the forming sheet above them to move horizontally along a direction perpendicular to the conveyor line. There are multiple push wheels, forming two push disc assemblies on both sides of the inner support frame 4. These push disc assemblies are arranged on a plane formed by the vertical plane and the conveyor line direction. The push wheels are restricted from rotating freely; instead, the push and movement of the forming sheet is achieved by the overall rotation of the roller assembly 3. Each push disc assembly includes multiple push wheels evenly distributed circumferentially, with the push wheels on the two push disc assemblies intersecting. The push wheels on the two push disc assemblies form a complete circle on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the drive wheel 5. The push wheels extend beyond the boundary of the inner support frame 4, ensuring that the push wheel is always at its highest point within each roller assembly 3. In this way, when the forming sheet is placed on the conveyor line, the same roller assembly 3 ensures that the contact point with the forming sheet is always the push wheel. Therefore, as the roller assembly 3 rotates, the pusher wheel can continuously drive the forming sheet to move, and throughout the movement, it avoids creating empty areas that do not contact the forming sheet.

[0029] Example 2 like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides the internal structure of the drive roller 2, as detailed below: The drive roller 2 has a hollow internal structure and is a cylindrical body. The two ends of the cylindrical body are rotatably mounted on the two side walls inside the frame 1. The inner side of the frame 1 is provided with a housing for supporting the drive roller 2. The housing has mounting holes. The drive roller 2 is inserted into the mounting holes for support. The drive roller 2 can rotate freely inside the mounting holes. A first gear 6 is sleeved on one end of the drive roller 2. The first gear 6 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 1. A second gear 7 that meshes with the first gear 6 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 1. A first motor 8 for driving the second gear 7 to rotate is fixed inside the frame 1. The first motor 8 drives the second gear 7 to rotate. The second gear 7 drives the drive roller 2 to rotate through the first gear 6. The drive roller 2 can drive multiple rolling groups fixed on the outside to rotate.

[0030] Each drive wheel 5 on the drive roller 2 has an opening 13 on its inner side, providing space for subsequent drive components to contact and drive the drive wheel 5. Guide wheels are rotatably mounted at both ends of the inner side of the opening 13, providing support and guidance for the connecting belt 14 or the pressure wheel 12. Under the guidance of the guide wheels, the connecting belt 14 or the pressure wheel 12 stably penetrates the opening 13 and contacts the drive wheel 5.

[0031] The drive roller 2 has a support rod 9 inside. The two ends of the support rod 9 pass through the two ends of the drive roller 2 and are fixed to the frame 1. The fixed support rod 9 cannot rotate, and the components on the drive roller 2 will not contact the support rod 9 during the rotation of the drive roller 2. The support rod 9 is fixed with a drive component corresponding to the roller group 3. The drive component faces upward. When the drive wheel 5 rotates with the drive roller 2 to the top of the drive component, the drive component can pass through the opening 13 to contact the drive wheel 5 above and drive the drive wheel 5 to rotate. When the drive component passes through the opening 13 and contacts the drive wheel 5 at the corresponding position, the rotation of the drive roller 2 will stop, while the drive component drives the drive wheel 5 to rotate by passing through the corresponding opening 13.

[0032] Example 3 like Figures 4-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a structure for the driving component, as detailed below: The driving component includes a connecting belt 14, a rotating wheel 10 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 1, the connecting belt 14 is sleeved on the rotating wheel 10, and a second motor for driving the rotating wheel 10 to rotate is fixed inside the frame 1. There are two rotating wheels 10, which are rotatably mounted inside the two side frames 1 respectively.

[0033] The driving component also includes a linear push rod 11 fixed on the support rod 9. The end of the linear push rod 11 is equipped with a freely rotatable pressure wheel 12. The pressure wheel 12 pushes the connecting belt 14 through the opening 13 to contact the corresponding drive wheel 5. When the connecting belt 14 moves, it can drive the corresponding drive wheel 5 to rotate. The linear push rod 11 is activated, pushing the pressure wheel 12 forward. The pressure wheel 12 penetrates the opening 13 and contacts the drive wheel 5. The movement of the connecting belt 14 drives the drive wheel 5 to rotate. When it is necessary to stop driving, the linear push rod 11 retracts, and the pressure wheel 12 separates from the drive wheel 5, thus realizing precise control of the contact position between the connecting belt 14 and the drive wheel 5.

[0034] Two linear push rods 11 form a group, and one group of linear push rods 11 corresponds to one roller group 3. The two linear push rods 11 correspond one-to-one with the two push disk groups inside the roller group 3. When the drive roller 2 stops, the corresponding opening 13 will be vertically arranged upward. The guide wheel on the linear push rod 11 is located at the bottom of the opening 13. When the linear push rod 11 drives the guide wheel to move upward, the guide wheel will push the corresponding position of the connecting belt 14 to contact the drive wheel 5. The transmission of the connecting belt 14 can drive the drive wheel 5 connected to it to rotate. Multiple linear push rods 11 inside the same drive roller 2 move synchronously, thereby driving multiple drive wheels 5 to rotate simultaneously.

[0035] The first motor 8 and the second motor are stepper motors. The stepper motors receive control signals and rotate according to predetermined step distances and speeds. The first motor 8 drives the second gear 7 to rotate, thereby moving the drive roller 2 and the roller assembly 3; the second motor drives the rotating wheel 10 to rotate, thereby moving the connecting belt 14 and driving the drive wheel 5 to rotate. By adjusting the control signals of the stepper motors, the movement speed and position of the conveyor line can be precisely controlled. Stepper motors are commonly used components in the prior art and are therefore not specifically described in this invention.

[0036] Working principle: When the first motor 8 starts, it drives the second gear 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 6 meshing with it and the entire drive roller 2 to rotate. The rotation of the drive roller 2 causes the roller assembly 3 fixed to the outside to rotate as well.

[0037] The formed sheet is placed horizontally on the roller assembly 3. As the roller assembly 3 rotates, the pusher wheel continuously contacts the formed sheet and propels it forward. Because the pusher wheel is evenly distributed on the inner support frame 4 and is always at its highest point, the continuous and stable movement of the formed sheet during the conveying process is ensured.

[0038] When it is necessary to drive the drive wheel 5 within a specific roller assembly 3 to rotate, the second motor starts and drives the rotating wheel 10 to rotate, thereby moving the connecting belt 14. At this time, the corresponding linear push rod 11 starts and pushes the pressure roller 12 through the opening 13 to contact the drive wheel 5. The movement of the connecting belt 14 causes the drive wheel 5 in contact to rotate, thereby realizing the pushing of the formed sheet in a specific direction.

[0039] The stepper motor receives control signals and rotates according to a predetermined step size and speed. By adjusting the control signals, the rotational speed and position of the first motor 8 and the second motor can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the conveyor line's movement speed and position.

[0040] Because roller assembly 3 can push the formed sheet material in two mutually perpendicular directions, the conveying path can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. This flexibility allows the conveyor line to adapt to more varied conveying requirements, improving production efficiency and flexibility.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate and not limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Any modifications or partial substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
