Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of curtain wall production technology, and more specifically, to a conveying device for producing curtain wall components. Background Technology
[0002] Thin metal sheets are a common panel component in curtain wall engineering. During their production and transport, roller conveyors are typically used. Because these sheets are wide, long, thin, and have limited overall rigidity, the spacing between the electric rollers in these conveyors is often quite large to reduce equipment manufacturing costs. During transport, the thin metal sheet lies flat on the electric rollers and is driven forward by them. When the front end of the sheet passes the previous electric roller but has not yet reached the next, it will deflect downwards due to its own weight in a suspended area. If the downward deflection exceeds the capacity of the upper edge of the next electric roller, the sheet end cannot smoothly align with it, and may even become jammed, collide, or fail to be transported.
[0003] To avoid this problem, one existing approach is to densify the arrangement of electric rollers, i.e., reduce the spacing between adjacent electric rollers to decrease the overhang and sagging of the thin metal sheet ends. While this method improves conveying reliability, it multiplies the number of electric rollers over the same conveying distance, leading to a significant increase in drive, control, installation, and maintenance costs, resulting in poor economic efficiency. Another approach is to install a bridge plate between adjacent electric rollers, using the bridge plate to provide intermediate support for the sheet ends and thus limit sagging. This bridge plate structure is simple and low-cost. However, when the metal sheet ends pass over the bridge plate, they experience continuous contact and relative sliding with the bridge plate surface, easily generating friction scratches. For thin metal sheets used in curtain walls with high surface quality requirements, such scratches directly affect the appearance quality and may even lead to product downgrading or scrapping. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as excessive spacing between adjacent electric rollers causing plate end sagging and jamming during thin metal plate roller conveying, increased cost due to the density of electric rollers, and easy scratching of the plate surface when using bridge plate support, this invention provides a conveying device for curtain wall component production.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a conveying device for producing curtain wall components, comprising a support and a base; a plurality of bases are connected to the support; it also includes a connecting plate, an electric roller, a connecting block and a round rod; two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the support; a plurality of electric rollers are rotatably connected between the two connecting plates; a plurality of connecting blocks are connected to the support; a plurality of round rods are provided between two adjacent electric rollers, and the round rods are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting blocks; the top surface of the round rod is lower than the top surface of the electric roller.
[0006] Further explanation: It also includes auxiliary components, which include a cover and round tubes; a cover is fixedly connected to each connecting block; several round tubes are fixedly connected to each cover; each round tube has a channel and several round holes, and the round holes are connected to the corresponding channel; a cavity is formed between each connecting block and the corresponding cover, and the cavity is connected to the corresponding channel.
[0007] To further explain, the end of the circular hole furthest from the center of the circular rod tilts to the left.
[0008] The present invention achieves the effect of assisted rotation by adopting the above structure.
[0009] Further explanation includes flow-limiting rings; several flow-limiting rings are fixedly connected to each round rod; each flow-limiting ring has a second circular hole, which is connected to the corresponding channel and cavity respectively; the diameter of each second circular hole corresponding to the same connecting block increases from left to right.
[0010] The present invention achieves airflow regulation by employing the above-described structure.
[0011] To further explain, it also includes partitions; a partition is provided between every two adjacent round rods, and the partition is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting block.
[0012] The present invention achieves airflow interception effect by employing the above-described structure.
[0013] Further explanation: It also includes a lifting assembly, which includes an electric push rod and a connecting plate 2; several electric push rods are fixedly connected to the bracket; several connecting plates 2 are provided on the inner side of the bracket, and the connecting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the corresponding electric push rods; the connecting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the corresponding covers.
[0014] To further explain, it also includes an adjustment assembly, which includes a sleeve and a screw; several sleeves are fixedly connected to the bracket; each sleeve is threadedly connected to a screw, and the screw is fixedly connected to the corresponding base.
[0015] The present invention achieves height adjustment by employing the above-described structure.
[0016] To further explain, it also includes a limiting plate; a limiting plate is fixedly attached to each connecting plate.
[0017] To further clarify, the surface of the limiting plate is a smooth surface.
[0018] To further explain, the electric roller is made of stainless steel.
[0019] The present invention has the following advantages: First, by using a lightweight round rod to support the drooping end of the thin metal plate, it can smoothly overlap the upper side of the next electric roller, thereby smoothly completing the conveying operation. During this process, there will be no relative sliding between the thin metal plate and the round rod. That is, compared with the conventional bridge plate in the prior art, the thin metal plate can be prevented from being scratched. Moreover, compared with the dense arrangement of electric rollers in the prior art, the present equipment can significantly reduce equipment costs by combining the sparse arrangement of electric rollers and the dense arrangement of round rods. At the same time, by setting the height of the round rod to be lower than the height of the electric roller, the thin metal plate will only contact the round rod and drive it to rotate when the drooping degree of the thin metal plate is too large, which can reduce kinetic energy loss and reduce wear on the metal plate. Second, air can be ejected from one of the round holes, forming an air-floating layer between the round rod and the thin metal plate, which greatly reduces the probability of the concave part of the thin metal plate contacting the round rod, thereby reducing the kinetic energy loss of the thin metal plate and alleviating its wear problem. Third, tilt the end of the round hole away from the center of the round rod to the left so that after the air is ejected from the round hole, the round rod will rotate clockwise. Thus, the thin metal plate only needs to apply a small pushing force to the round rod to drive it to rotate, avoiding slippage and thus avoiding scratches. Fourth, by limiting the airflow into the channel through the flow-limiting ring, the airflow from the circular hole increases from left to right, thereby causing the right end of the thin metal plate to tilt upwards, which in turn allows the right end of the thin metal plate to move more smoothly to the top of the next electric roller, reducing collisions and friction, and helping to protect the right end of the thin metal plate. Fifth, the ejected air is intercepted by the baffle to prevent the air ejected from the holes on adjacent rods from interfering with each other, so that the ejected air can smoothly provide the starting force for the rotation of the rod.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated. However, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0023] Example 1: A conveying device for producing curtain wall components, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a support 1; several bases 2 are provided on the support 1; the conveying equipment also includes a connecting plate 3; two connecting plates 3 are fixedly connected to the support 1; several electric rollers 4 are rotatably installed between the two connecting plates 3; several connecting blocks 5 are connected to the support 1; several round rods 6 are arranged between any two adjacent electric rollers 4, and the round rods 6 are rotatably engaged with the corresponding connecting blocks 5; the height of the round rods 6 is lower than the height of the electric rollers 4.
[0024] During conveying, the thin metal sheet is placed on the upper left side of the conveying equipment. The electric roller 4 is activated, and the electric roller 4 below the thin metal sheet applies a pushing force, causing the thin metal sheet to move to the right, thus completing the conveying process. During the rightward conveying of the thin metal sheet, when the right end of the thin metal sheet reaches the gap between two adjacent electric rollers 4, its end hangs down. Normally, the downward deflection of the thin metal sheet end is within the range that the upper edge of the next electric roller 4 can support, allowing the right end of the thin metal sheet to smoothly overlap onto the next electric roller 4, thus completing the conveying operation smoothly. In rare cases (e.g., uneven thickness of the thin metal sheet, with its end thickness less than the standard value, which increases the degree of drooping; or the thin metal sheet end itself having downward bending deformation), the downward deflection of the thin metal sheet end exceeds the range that the upper edge of the electric roller 4 can support. In this case, the right end of the thin metal sheet contacts the round rod 6, which supports and limits the right end of the thin metal sheet, preventing excessive drooping and thus allowing the thin metal sheet to... The thin metal plate can smoothly connect to the next electric roller 4, thus completing the conveying operation smoothly. At the same time, when the thin metal plate contacts the round rod 6 during the movement, the right end of the thin metal plate will drive the round rod 6 to rotate through friction. That is, there will be no relative sliding between the thin metal plate and the round rod 6, avoiding scratches. The lightweight round rod 6 supports the drooping end of the thin metal plate, allowing it to smoothly connect to the next electric roller 4, thus completing the conveying operation smoothly. During this process, the thin metal plate will not slide relative to the round rod 6. Compared with the conventional bridge plate in the prior art, the thin metal plate can be prevented from being scratched. Moreover, compared with the dense arrangement of electric rollers 4 in the prior art, this equipment can significantly reduce equipment costs by combining the sparse arrangement of electric rollers 4 and the dense arrangement of round rods 6. At the same time, the height of the round rod 6 is set to be lower than the height of the electric roller 4, so that the thin metal plate will only contact the round rod 6 and drive it to rotate when the drooping degree of the thin metal plate is too large, which can reduce kinetic energy loss and reduce wear on the metal plate.
[0025] It also includes auxiliary components, including a cover 201 and a round tube 202; each connecting block 5 is bolted to a cover 201, which is made of alloy material; each cover 201 is fixedly connected to two round tubes 202; each round rod 6 has a channel 691; each round rod 6 has several round holes 692, which are connected to the corresponding channels 691; each connecting block 5 and the corresponding cover 201 form a cavity 693, which is connected to the corresponding channel 691. An external air pump supplies air to the round tube 202, and the air flows into the cavity 693 through the round tube 202, then into the round hole 692 through the channel 691 and is ejected.
[0026] During transport, the thin metal plate, due to its low overall rigidity, may experience a central depression. This depression will contact the round rod 6, causing the rod 6 to rotate due to friction. This results in energy loss and wear on the thin metal plate. Therefore, an auxiliary component is installed on the connecting block 5. First, an external air pump is manually connected to the round pipe 202. During transport, air is supplied to the round pipe 202 via the external air pump. The air flows into the cavity 693 through the round pipe 202, then into the channel 691, and finally out through the first round hole 692. This forms an air-floating layer between the round rod 6 and the thin metal plate, significantly reducing the probability of the depressed part of the thin metal plate contacting the round rod 6, thereby reducing energy loss and wear. During use, air can be ejected from the first round hole 692 to form an air-floating layer between the round rod 6 and the thin metal plate, further reducing the probability of the depressed part of the thin metal plate contacting the round rod 6, thus reducing energy loss and wear.
[0027] The end of the round hole 692 that is away from the center of the round rod 6 is tilted to the left.
[0028] When the thin metal plate drives the round rod 6 to rotate through friction, the round rod 6 needs to overcome relatively large resistance to start from rest, making it difficult to start. This may cause slippage, resulting in relative sliding between the thin metal plate and the round rod 6, leading to scratches. Therefore, by tilting the end of the round hole 692 away from the center of the round rod 6 to the left, the air ejected from the round hole 692 will generate thrust. Viewed from front to back, the round rod 6 will have a clockwise rotation tendency, thus significantly reducing the resistance that the thin metal plate needs to overcome when driving the round rod 6 to rotate through friction, avoiding slippage and scratches. In use, by tilting the end of the round hole 692 away from the center of the round rod 6 to the left, the round rod 6 will have a clockwise rotation tendency after the air is ejected from the round hole 692. This allows the thin metal plate to apply only a small thrust to drive the round rod 6 to rotate, avoiding slippage and scratches.
[0029] It also includes flow-limiting rings 203; two flow-limiting rings 203 are fixedly connected to each round rod 6, and the flow-limiting rings 203 are made of alloy material; each flow-limiting ring 203 has a circular hole 694, which is connected to the corresponding channel 691 and the corresponding cavity 693; the diameter of each circular hole 694 corresponding to the same connecting block 5 increases from left to right.
[0030] A flow-limiting ring 203 is installed on the round rod 6, and a round hole 694 is opened on the flow-limiting ring 203. Figure 5As shown, the diameter of the second circular hole 694 increases from left to right. During the conveying process, an external air pump delivers air into the cavity 693 through the circular pipe 202. The air then flows into the channel 691 through the second circular hole 694. At this time, the flow-limiting ring 203 throttles the air entering the channel 691, causing the amount of air flowing into the channel 691 to increase from left to right. That is, the amount of air ejected from the first circular hole 692 increases from left to right, thereby causing the right end of the thin metal plate to tilt upwards, allowing the right end of the thin metal plate to move more smoothly to the upper side of the next electric roller 4, reducing collisions and friction. In use, the flow-limiting ring 203 limits the air entering the channel 691, causing the amount of air ejected from the first circular hole 692 to increase from left to right, thereby causing the right end of the thin metal plate to tilt upwards, and thus allowing the right end of the thin metal plate to move more smoothly to the upper side of the next electric roller 4, reducing collisions and friction, which is beneficial for protecting the right end of the thin metal plate.
[0031] It also includes a partition 204; a partition 204 is provided between every two adjacent round rods 6, and the partition 204 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting block 5.
[0032] When the air-assisted round rod 6 rotates, the air ejected from the round holes 692 on the adjacent round rods 6 will interfere with each other. Therefore, a partition 204 is set between the adjacent round rods 6 to intercept the ejected air and prevent the air ejected from the round holes 692 on the adjacent round rods 6 from interfering with each other, so that the ejected air can smoothly provide starting force for the rotation of the round rod 6.
[0033] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, it also includes a lifting assembly, which includes an electric push rod 205 and a connecting plate 206; four electric push rods 205 are bolted to the bracket 1; two connecting plates 206 are provided on the inner side of the bracket 1, the connecting plates 206 are made of alloy material, and the connecting plates 206 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the corresponding electric push rods 205; the connecting plates 206 are fixedly connected to the corresponding covers 201.
[0034] It also includes an adjustment assembly, which includes a sleeve 207 and a screw 208; eight sleeves 207 are fixedly connected to the bracket 1; each sleeve 207 is threadedly connected to a screw 208, and the screw 208 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base 2.
[0035] It also includes a limiting plate 209; each connecting plate 3 is bolted with a limiting plate 209, which limits the material and prevents the thin metal plate from falling from both ends of the electric roller 4.
[0036] The surface of the limiting plate 209 is a smooth surface to reduce friction.
[0037] The electric roller 4 is made of stainless steel to prevent rust and extend its service life.
[0038] Thin metal sheets of different materials and thicknesses sag to varying degrees, so the height of the round rod 6 needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation to provide effective support. A lifting component is installed on the bracket 1, and the connecting plate 206 moves up or down via the electric push rod 205. The connecting plate 206 then moves the connecting block 5 and its components up or down, thereby adjusting the height of the round rod 6 to adapt to and support different types of thin metal sheets. In use, the height of the round rod 6 is adjusted via the electric push rod 205, allowing it to adapt to and support different types (materials, thicknesses) of thin metal sheets, making it highly versatile.
[0039] When the device is placed on the ground, the screw 208 is manually rotated to screw the screw 208 into the sleeve 207 or to unscrew the screw 208 from the sleeve 207, thereby adjusting the extension distance of the screw 208 and thus adjusting the height of the base 2 so that the base 2 can contact the uneven ground, thereby providing support for the device.
[0040] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
