Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tile conveying, in particular to a two-way conveying device for tiles. Background Art

[0002] The tile conveyor is usually composed of conveyor belts, rollers, conveyors and other equipment, which are used to transport the produced tiles from one process to the next process to achieve automated production. In the tile production line, the design and layout of the tile conveyor needs to consider factors such as production efficiency, space utilization, and safety. The layout and operation mode of the conveyor are usually determined based on the relationship between the production process and the process to ensure that the tiles can be transported smoothly and efficiently during the production process.

[0003] CN107226336A discloses a ceramic tile rotating device, comprising a diverter device, at least two assembly lines and a rotating device, wherein the diverter device comprises a first conveyor belt, a bracket and a push rod; at least two assembly lines are arranged vertically opposite to each other or horizontally parallel, and the first conveyor belt can dock with different assembly lines by flipping up and down or swinging horizontally around a pivot; the rotating device is arranged on the assembly line, and comprises a rotating table, a rotating motor, a rotating head and a lifting mechanism; the lifting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the rotating table, and can drive the rotating table to rise and fall, so that the ceramic tiles on the rotating table abut against the rotating head, and the ceramic tiles are driven to rotate to a predetermined angle through the rotating head.

[0004] The above technical solution evenly distributes the tiles through different production lines, and then reunites them after being rotated by the rotating device, so that the tiles can be closely arranged on the previous conveyor belt, ensuring the transmission efficiency, cleverly offsetting the transmission pause caused by the rotation process of the tiles, and closely connecting with the production line. However, the above technical solution states in paragraph 0019 of the specification that "the first conveyor belt 11 can be connected with different production lines (2a, 2b) by flipping up and down or swinging horizontally around the pivot 14", so the first conveyor belt of the above technical solution can only be connected with one of the different production lines, and when the first conveyor belt is in an inclined state, horizontal transportation cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provides a bidirectional conveying device for tiles. The conveying device is provided with a second conveying mechanism on both sides of a first conveying mechanism, and the input end of the second conveying mechanism is located between the input end and the output end of the first conveying mechanism, and the second conveying mechanism is driven to swing by a lifting mechanism. When the second conveying mechanism is in a horizontal state, its top is located on the same horizontal plane as the top of the first conveying mechanism, so that the tiles can enter the second conveying mechanism easily. When the second conveying mechanism is in an inclined state, its input end is located above the first conveying mechanism, and there is a gap between the second conveying mechanism and the first conveying mechanism for the tiles to pass through. The tiles on the second conveying mechanism can be conveyed along the inclined surface by the second conveying mechanism, and the tiles on the first conveying mechanism can continue to be conveyed in the direction of the first conveying mechanism through the gap, so as to realize bidirectional conveying and improve conveying efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] When the second conveying mechanism is in a horizontal state, its top is located on the same horizontal plane as the top of the first conveying mechanism; when the second conveying mechanism is in an inclined state, its input end is located above the first conveying mechanism, and there is a gap between the second conveying mechanism and the first conveying mechanism for tiles to pass through.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] When the second conveying mechanism of the utility model is in a horizontal state, its top is located on the same horizontal plane as the top of the first conveying mechanism, which facilitates the entry of tiles into the second conveying mechanism. When the second conveying mechanism is in an inclined state, its input end is located above the first conveying mechanism, and there is a gap between the second conveying mechanism and the first conveying mechanism for the passage of tiles. The tiles located on the second conveying mechanism can be conveyed along the inclined surface by the second conveying mechanism, while the tiles located on the first conveying mechanism can continue to be conveyed in the direction of the first conveying mechanism through the gap, thereby realizing two-way conveyance and improving conveyance efficiency.

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A bidirectional conveying device for tiles comprises a frame 1, a first conveying mechanism 2 and a second conveying mechanism 3, wherein the first conveying mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1, the second conveying mechanism 3 is located at both sides of the first conveying mechanism 2, and one end of the second conveying mechanism 3 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, the input end of the second conveying mechanism 3 is located between the input end and the output end of the first conveying mechanism 2, and a lifting mechanism 11 is provided in the frame 1, and the lifting mechanism 11 is hinged to the second conveying mechanism 3;

[0018] When the second conveying mechanism 3 is in a horizontal state, its top is located on the same horizontal plane as the top of the first conveying mechanism 2; when the second conveying mechanism 3 is in an inclined state, its input end is located above the first conveying mechanism 2, and there is a gap 4 between the second conveying mechanism 3 and the first conveying mechanism 2 for tiles to pass through.

[0019] In the initial state, the second conveying mechanism 3 is in a horizontal state. After the tiles are conveyed to the first conveying mechanism 2, they are conveyed to the second conveying mechanism 3 through the first conveying mechanism 2. Then, the second conveying mechanism 3 is driven by the lifting mechanism 11 to change from a horizontal state to an inclined state. At this time, the input end of the second conveying mechanism 3 is located above the first conveying mechanism 2, and there is a gap 4 between the second conveying mechanism 3 and the first conveying mechanism 2 for the tiles to pass through. The tiles on the second conveying mechanism 3 will be conveyed in the inclined direction of the second conveying mechanism 3 under the drive of the second conveying mechanism 3, and the tiles on the first conveying mechanism 2 will continue to be conveyed in the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 2 through the gap 4. Then, the second conveying mechanism 3 is reset, so that the tiles continue to enter the second conveying mechanism 3 through the first conveying mechanism 2. In this way, bidirectional conveying is achieved and the conveying efficiency is improved.

[0020] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 2 includes a first driving wheel 21, a first conveyor belt 22, and a support frame 23. The first driving wheel 21 is connected to the frame 1, the first conveyor belt 22 is sleeved on the first driving wheel 21, and the support frame 23 passes through the first conveyor belt 22 and is connected to the frame 1. The support frame 23 is used to support the first conveyor belt 22.

[0021] When in use, the first driving wheel 21 is driven to rotate by an external driving device, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 22 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying tiles. Because the weight of the tiles is too large, in order to avoid the first conveyor belt 22 being compressed and deformed, the first conveyor belt 22 is supported by adding a support frame 23 to ensure the stability and safety of transportation.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of first rollers 24 . The first support frame 23 is provided with a first groove 231 arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 22 . The plurality of first rollers are rotatably connected in the first groove 231 and contact with the inner surface of the first conveyor belt 22 .

[0023] During the movement of the first conveyor belt 22, in order to reduce the friction between the first conveyor belt 22 and the support frame 23, a first groove 231 arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 22 is set on the first support frame 23, and multiple first rollers 24 are rotatably connected in the first groove 231. Under the action of the gravity of the tiles, the inner surface of the first conveyor belt 22 will contact the first roller 24. During transportation, the first roller 24 will rotate with the movement of the first conveyor belt 22 to reduce the friction on the first conveyor belt 22.

[0024] In this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a second driving wheel 32, and a second conveying belt 33. One end of the connecting plate 31 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, the second driving wheel 32 is connected to the connecting plate 31, the second conveying belt 33 is sleeved on the second driving wheel 32, and the input end of the second conveying belt 33 is located between the two ends of the connecting plate 31. The second conveying belt 33 is located on both sides of the first conveying belt 22, and the lifting mechanism 11 is hinged to the connecting plate 31;

[0025] When the connecting plate 31 is in a horizontal state, the top of the second conveyor belt 33 and the top of the first conveyor belt 22 are located on the same horizontal plane; when the connecting plate 31 is in an inclined state, the input end of the second conveyor belt 33 is located above the first conveyor belt 22, and there is a gap 4 between the second conveyor belt 33 and the first conveyor belt 22 for tiles to pass through.

[0026] When in use, the second driving wheel 32 is driven to rotate by an external driving device, thereby driving the second conveyor belt 33 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying tiles. By setting the input end of the second conveyor belt 33 between the two ends of the connecting plate 31, when the lifting mechanism 11 drives the connecting plate 31 to swing, the input end of the second conveyor belt 33 will be located above the first conveyor belt 22, so that a gap 4 is generated between the second conveyor belt 33 and the first conveyor belt 22.

[0027] Similarly, in order to ensure the stability of the conveying of the second conveyor belt 33, in this embodiment, it also includes a support block 34 and a plurality of second rollers 35. The support block 34 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 31 and is located in the second conveyor belt 33. A second groove 341 is provided in the support block 34 along the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 33. The plurality of second rollers 35 are rotatably connected in the second groove 341.

[0028] It should be noted here that the principles of the support block 34, the second groove 341, and the second roller 35 are exactly the same as the working principles and functions of the support frame 23, the first groove 231, and the first roller 24, so they are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0029] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 11 includes a driving motor 111 and a connecting rod transmission module 112. One end of the connecting rod transmission module 112 is connected to the driving motor 111, and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate 31. The driving motor 111 drives the connecting rod transmission module 112 to rise and fall, thereby driving the connecting plate 31 to swing.

[0030] In actual work, the function of the connecting rod transmission module 112 is to change the rotational motion of the driving motor 111 into linear motion. Specifically, the linear motion of the connecting rod transmission module 112 is used to push the connecting plate 31 to swing, and the driving motor 111 rotates one circle to realize the swing and reset of the connecting plate 31.

[0031] Preferably, the connecting rod transmission module 112 includes a first connecting rod 1121 and a second connecting rod 1122, one end of the first connecting rod 1121 is connected to the power output end of the drive motor 111, the other end of the first connecting rod 1121 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 1122, and the other end of the second connecting rod 1122 is hinged to the connecting plate 31.

[0032] Specifically, the driving output end of the driving motor 111 drives one end of the first connecting rod 1121 to rotate, and then the other end of the first connecting rod 1121 will make a circular motion around the output end of the driving motor 111, and one end of the second connecting rod 1122 that is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 1121 will also move with the first connecting rod 1121. The other end of the second connecting rod 1122 is hinged to the connecting plate 31, so that the second connecting rod 1122 can push the connecting plate 31 to swing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the end of the frame 1 is further provided with a limit block 12, which is used to limit the connection plate 31 in a horizontal state. When the connection plate 31 is in a horizontal state, the bottom of the connection plate 31 will fit with the top of the limit block 12, thereby ensuring that the second conveyor belt 33 is in a horizontal state.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements or modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements or modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
