Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment structure, in particular to a conveying equipment for stable conveying. Background Art
[0002] Bidirectional reciprocating transportation is used in various production scenarios in industry. For example, during the processing and production of lithium battery packs, the processed battery packs need to be inspected for appearance and hole positions to ensure the stability and safety of the battery packs. During the inspection process, the conveying equipment needs to carry the battery packs under the inspection camera for appearance inspection, and then transport them back.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to achieve long-distance round-trip transportation, most conveying equipment uses belt conveyors or chain conveyors. Taking chain conveyors as an example, chain conveyor equipment generally connects a supporting member for placing the object to be transported between two conveyor chains, and the support member is moved by the operation of the chain, thereby achieving transportation.
[0004] However, chain conveying has a disadvantage, that is, when the chain is long, the middle part of the chain is suspended, which makes it unable to move parallely during operation. The supporting parts are connected to the chain, so it is inevitable that the supporting parts and the items on the supporting parts will shake with the movement of the chain during the conveying process, which is relatively unstable and easily causes the items to fall. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the above background technology, the utility model provides a conveying device for smooth conveying.
[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Conveyor chains, with conveyor chains being arranged on both sides of the frame, and the two conveyor chains running synchronously and in the same direction;
[0010] A supporting member, the supporting member is used to carry the object to be transported;
[0011] The sliding assembly comprises a moving part and a guide wheel, the annular surface of the guide wheel is provided with a concave limiting groove, and the upper and lower sides of both ends of the moving part are provided with rotatable guide wheels,
[0012] Among them, the two conveying chains are connected to the sliding components, and the two ends of the supporting member are respectively connected to the moving parts of the two sliding components; in the two sliding components, the guide wheels on the upper and lower sides of the moving parts are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the guide rails, so that the upper and lower sides of the guide rails are respectively adapted to be embedded in the limiting grooves of the guide wheels on the upper and lower sides of the moving parts.
[0013] In a possible implementation, the sliding assembly also includes a connecting bolt, which has a limiting portion, a connecting column and a threaded column arranged in sequence, and the connecting column passes through the guide wheel so that the limiting portion blocks one side of the guide wheel. The position where the movable part connects to each of the guide wheels is provided with a penetrating connecting hole. After the threaded column passes through the connecting hole, it is screwed together with the nut to be tightened, so that the nut and the connecting column clamp the movable part.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the sliding assembly also includes a connecting bolt, which has a limiting portion, a connecting column and a threaded column arranged in sequence, the threaded column is located on the eccentric side of the end of the connecting column, and the connecting column passes through the guide wheel so that the limiting portion blocks one side of the guide wheel; the position where the movable part connects to each of the guide wheels is provided with a penetrating connecting hole, and the threaded column passes through the connecting hole and is screwed together with a nut to be tightened, so that the nut and the connecting column clamp the movable part.
[0015] In a possible implementation, a bearing is embedded in and fixed in the guide wheel, the connecting column passes through an inner ring of the bearing, and the connecting column and the inner ring of the bearing are axially fixed.
[0016] In a possible implementation, two guide posts are fixed on the movable member, springs are sleeved outside the two guide posts, and two guide holes are provided at both ends of the supporting member; at either end of the supporting member, the two guide holes are respectively sleeved outside the two guide posts of the movable member, so that the elastic force of the stretched spring lifts the supporting member.
[0017] In a possible implementation, a spring is connected between the moving member and the supporting member, and the elastic force of the stretched spring lifts up the supporting member.
[0018] In a possible implementation, two guide posts are fixed on the movable member, the springs are sleeved outside the two guide posts, and two guide holes are provided at both ends of the supporting member; at either end of the supporting member, the two guide holes are respectively sleeved outside the two guide posts of the movable member.
[0019] In a possible implementation, the sliding assembly further includes a connecting member, one end of which is connected to a surface of the moving member facing the middle of the frame, and the other end of the connecting member is fixed to a link of the conveying chain.
[0020] From the above description of the structure of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: in the structure of the utility model, the guide wheels on the upper and lower sides of the sliding assembly are respectively mounted on the upper and lower sides of the guide rails to limit the movable member from shaking left and right relative to the two sides of the frame, so that the supporting member connected to the movable member can move smoothly horizontally relative to the two ends of the frame without shaking.

[0030] The utility model discloses a conveying device for stable conveying, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, the conveying equipment includes a frame 1, a conveying chain 2, a supporting member 3 and a sliding assembly 4. Conveying chains 2 are arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and the sprockets at the same end of the two conveying chains 2 are fixed to the same transmission shaft, and the frame 1 can also fix a motor (not shown in the figure), which drives one of the transmission shafts to rotate, so that the two conveying chains 2 can run synchronously and in the same direction. In addition, the two conveying chains 2 are connected to the sliding assembly 4, and the two ends of the supporting member 3 and the two conveying chains 2 are connected through two sliding assemblies 4 respectively, so that the conveying chain 2 drives the supporting member 3 to move on the frame 1 through the sliding assembly 4, thereby driving the objects to be conveyed carried by the supporting member 3 to be transported from one end of the frame 1 to the other end of the frame 1.
[0031] Preferably, the utility model can also be equipped with a control system, which can be a PLC controller, for controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the motor to drive the supporting member 3 to move back and forth between the two ends of the frame 11. In addition, a tray can be welded or fixed on the supporting member 3 of the utility model by bolt connection to increase the placement area, thereby accommodating larger items.
[0032] As attached Figure 3 and 5 As shown, guide rails 11 are fixed on both sides of the outside of the frame 1. Specifically, a row of screws 12 can be welded and fixed on the side of the frame 1, and a row of penetrating mounting holes 411 are set on the side of the guide rail 11. During installation, each screw 12 is screwed into a first nut 13, and then each mounting hole 411 of the guide rail 11 is sleeved on the outside of each screw 12 one by one, and then another first nut 13 is screwed into each screw 12, so that each screw 12 is screwed with a first nut 13 on both sides of the guide rail 11. By screwing the two first nuts 13 together and tightening them, the guide rail 11 can be fixed to the side of the frame 1, and the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 and the side of the frame 1 have gaps to avoid affecting the subsequent connection between the guide wheel 42 and the guide rail 11.
[0033] As attached Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the sliding assembly 4 includes a moving member 41, a guide wheel 42 and a connecting member 45, one end of the connecting member 45 is fixedly connected to a side of the moving member 41 facing the middle of the frame 1, and the other end of the connecting member 45 is fixed to the link 21 of the conveying chain 2, so that the running of the conveying chain 2 can drive the moving member 41 to move at the same time. The fixing method in this embodiment can be to insert screws and lock the two connected parts at the same time to achieve fixing.
[0034] Rotatable guide wheels 42 are provided on both upper and lower sides of the two ends of the moving member 41, and the connection method thereof can be as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 and5 As shown, the guide wheel 42 is connected by a connecting bolt 43, and the connecting bolt 43 has a limiting portion 431, a connecting column 432 and a threaded column 433 arranged in sequence. The connecting column 432 passes through the center of the guide wheel 42 so that the limiting portion 431 blocks one side of the guide wheel 42, and the guide wheel 42 rotates with the connecting column as the axis. Further, the center of the guide wheel 42 is embedded and fixed with a bearing 48, and the connecting column 432 passes through the inner ring of the bearing 48 with an interference fit, and the connecting column 432 is also equipped with a retaining spring on the side outside the bearing 48 to limit the bearing 48 between the limiting portion 431 and the retaining spring, so that the inner ring of the bearing 48 is axially fixed relative to the connecting column 432. In addition, penetrating connection holes (not marked in the drawings) are provided at the positions where the movable member 41 is connected to each guide wheel 42. After the threaded column 433 passes through the connection hole, it is screwed on the second nut 44 to tighten and fix the connecting bolt 43 to the movable member 41, thereby limiting the guide wheel 42 to be located only on one side of the movable member 41 and rotate around the connecting column 432 of the connecting bolt 43 as the axis.
[0035] Continue to refer to the attached Figure 5 The annular surface of the guide wheel 42 is provided with a concave limiting groove 421, and the guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the moving member 41 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11, so that the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 are respectively adapted to be embedded in the limiting grooves 421 of the guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the moving member 41. When the conveyor chain 2 drives the moving member 41 to move, it can drive the guide wheel 42 to roll along the guide rail 11. The structure of the guide rail 11 embedded in the limiting groove 421 can limit the guide wheel 42, so that the moving member 41 will not shake left and right relative to the two sides of the guide rail 11.
[0036] Due to the existence of the hole spacing accuracy of the mounting holes 411 on the upper and lower sides of the moving member 41, the processing accuracy of the connecting bolts 43 and the processing accuracy of the guide wheels 42, the distance between the guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the moving member 41 may not be just enough to allow the guide rail 11 to be stuck therebetween, that is, the guide wheel 42 at the lower end of the moving member 41 may not be able to be closely attached to the lower side of the guide rail 11. For this reason, the utility model also proposes another embodiment of the connecting bolt 43, in which the threaded column 433 is located on the eccentric side of the end of the connecting column 432, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6As shown, in this structure, after the threaded column 433 passes through the mounting hole 411 of the moving member 41, the height of the guide wheel 42 can be adjusted by rotating the connecting bolt 43. After the sliding assembly 4 is mounted on the guide rail 11, the guide wheel 42 at the upper end of the moving member 41 hangs downward on the guide rail 11, and the connecting bolt 43 is rotated at this time to rotate the guide wheel 42 at the lower end of the moving member 41 upward to fit the lower side of the guide rail 11, that is, the connecting bolt 43 is rotated to make the eccentric connecting column 432 swing upward to the limit groove 421 of the guide wheel 42 press against the lower side of the guide rail 11, so that the two guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 are closely attached to the guide rail 11, avoiding the formation of a large gap between the guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the moving member 41 and the guide rail 11, which causes the sliding assembly 4 to jump during the movement along the guide rail 11, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the sliding assembly 4.
[0037] Preferably, the cross-sections of the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 are both convex triangular structures, so that the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 form a structure with an angle composed of two inclined surfaces, and the cross-section of the limiting groove 421 is a concave triangular structure that can be sleeved on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11, so that the limiting groove 421 and the guide rail 11 are matched and nested. This structure can prevent fine particles from accumulating on the guide rail 11, thereby avoiding affecting the rolling of the guide wheel 42.
[0038] As attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the two ends of the supporting member 3 are respectively connected to the moving members 41 of the two sliding assemblies 4, so that when the two conveying chains 2 in the frame 1 are running, by driving the two sliding assemblies 4 to slide along the guide rails 11, the supporting member 3 can be driven to move on the frame 1 at the same time. Further, a spring 46 is connected between the moving member 41 and the supporting member 3, and the elastic force of the spring 46 stretching lifts the supporting member 3. In this structure, the elastic effect of the spring 46 can be used to reduce the vibration of the supporting member 3, such as the vibration caused by the rolling of the articles placed on the supporting member 3. Furthermore, two guide posts 47 are fixed on the moving member 41, and the two guide posts 47 can be fixed on a flat plate extending horizontally outward from the upper end of the moving member 41. Springs 46 are sleeved on the outside of the two guide columns 47, two guide holes 31 are set at both ends of the supporting member 3, and the two guide holes 31 at either end of the supporting member 3 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two guide columns 47 of the movable member 41. The structure in which the guide columns 47 pass through the guide holes 31 can limit the supporting member 3 to move up and down only relative to the movable member 41, and the movable member 41 can push the supporting member 3 to move through the guide columns 47.
[0039] In summary, in the structure of the present invention, the guide wheels 42 on the upper and lower sides of the sliding assembly 4 are respectively mounted on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 11 to limit the movable member 41 from shaking left and right relative to the two sides of the frame 1, so that the supporting member 3 connected to the movable member 41 can move smoothly relative to the two ends of the frame 1 without shaking left and right. Therefore, when the conveying chain 2 drives the supporting member 3 to move through the sliding assembly 4, the objects can be smoothly conveyed from one end of the frame 1 to the other end, which can prevent the objects from falling due to unstable conveying.
[0040] The above is only a specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the utility model.
