DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0023] Embodiment 1:

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a conveyor line conveying product provided by an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 A top view of a conveyor line provided by an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor line provided by the first embodiment of the utility model includes a first conveying mechanism 100, a second conveying mechanism 200 and a width adjustment mechanism 300. The first conveying mechanism 100 is fixedly arranged, and the second conveying mechanism 200 is arranged in parallel with the first conveying mechanism 100 and is relatively movable. The second conveying mechanism 200 is transmission-connected to the width adjustment mechanism 300, and the width adjustment mechanism 300 is configured to adjust and move the second conveying mechanism 200 along the width direction of the conveying line.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 100 and the second transmission mechanism 200 can both be belt conveyor mechanisms. In other implementations, the first transmission mechanism 100 and the second transmission mechanism 200 can also be synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts for transmission, or a combination of chains and sprockets for transmission.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 100 is fixed, and the second transmission mechanism 200 is movable. The width adjustment mechanism 300 can drive the second transmission mechanism 200 to move. The width direction of the conveying line is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying line, that is, perpendicular to the length direction of the first transmission mechanism 100 and the second transmission mechanism 200.

[0027] The first transmission mechanism 100 is fixedly arranged, the second transmission mechanism 200 is movably arranged, and the width adjustment mechanism 300 is used to drive the second transmission mechanism 200. The width of the transmission line can be changed by moving the second transmission mechanism 200, so as to adapt to different product transportation requirements, thereby improving the application range of the transmission line and allowing the transmission line to be matched with a variety of equipment.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the conveyor line includes a first support assembly 410 and a second support assembly 420 that are relatively fixedly arranged, the first transmission mechanism 100 is installed on the first support assembly 410, and the width adjustment mechanism 300 includes a power input assembly 310, which is arranged on the side of the first support assembly 410 away from the second support assembly 420.

[0029] The first support assembly 410 includes a first support frame 411 and a first support plate 412, the first support plate 412 is fixedly arranged at the top of the first support frame 411, and the two first support frames 411 are arranged along the length direction of the first support assembly 410; the second support assembly 420 includes a second support frame 421 and a second support plate 422, the second support plate 422 is fixedly arranged at the top of the second support frame 421, and the two second support frames 421 are arranged along the length direction of the second support assembly 420. A through hole is provided in the first support assembly 410, and a part of the width adjustment mechanism 300 is rotatably arranged in the through hole. Specifically, the power input assembly 310 of the width adjustment mechanism 300 includes a rocker 311, one end of the rocker 311 is connected to one end of the lead screw described later, and the other end of the rocker 311 is installed with a handle 312. The power input assembly 310 is located on the side of the first support assembly 410 facing away from the second support assembly 420.

[0030] By setting a power input assembly 310 on the first support assembly 410, the power input assembly 310 can be used to input power to the width adjustment mechanism 300, so that the operator can drive the width adjustment mechanism 300 to move on the outside of the first support assembly 410 to drive the second transmission mechanism 200, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the width adjustment mechanism 300 also includes a power output assembly 320, which is transmission-connected to the second transmission mechanism 200, and the power output assembly 320 is slidably disposed on a guide rod 430, and the guide rod 430 is connected to the first support assembly 410 and the second support assembly 420.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power output assembly 320 includes a movable mounting plate, and the second transmission mechanism 200 is mounted on the movable mounting plate. The two ends of the guide rod 430 are respectively mounted on the first support plate 412 of the first support assembly 410 and the second support plate 422 of the second support assembly 420. The movable mounting plate is provided with a through hole, and the guide rod 430 passes through the through hole. More specifically, at the position of the through hole, the movable mounting plate is installed with a linear guide sleeve 440, and the linear guide sleeve 440 is adapted to the guide rod 430.

[0033] By slidingly setting the power output assembly 320 on the guide rod 430, on the one hand, the movement resistance of the power output assembly 320 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the movement accuracy of the power output assembly 320 can be controlled to prevent the power output assembly 320 and the second transmission mechanism 200 from tilting, thereby ensuring that after the width adjustment, the first transmission mechanism 100 and the second transmission mechanism 200 remain parallel, so as to facilitate the smooth transportation of products on the conveyor line.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the guide rods 430 are disposed at both ends of the power output assembly 320 in the length direction.

[0035] Specifically, the linear guide sleeves 440 are respectively located at two ends of the movable mounting plate.

[0036] By arranging the guide rods 430 at both ends of the power output assembly 320 in the length direction, the end position and angle of the power output assembly 320 can be controlled, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the power output assembly 320.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the width adjustment mechanism 300 further includes a transmission assembly 330 , and the transmission assembly 330 includes a screw rod 331 and a nut 332 connected by a spiral transmission, and the nut 332 is fixedly mounted on the power output assembly 320 .

[0038] The end of the screw rod 331 is fixedly connected to the power input assembly 310. More specifically, one end of the rocker 311 is detachably connected to the screw. Further, when one end of the rocker 311 is sleeved on the screw rod 331, the rocker 311 is fixedly mounted on one end of the screw. The screw is rotatably mounted on the first support assembly 410 and the second support assembly 420. More specifically, in this embodiment, the screw rod and the nut 332 can be a screw rod 331 and a nut 332 with self-locking properties.

[0039] By setting the transmission assembly 330 to be a lead screw and a nut 332, the rotation of the lead screw can be converted into a translational motion of the nut 332 by utilizing the cooperation of the lead screw and the nut 332, thereby driving the power output assembly 320 to translate, so as to achieve position adjustment of the second transmission mechanism 200 and ultimately change the effective conveying width of the conveyor line.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the transmission assembly 330 includes two parallel screw rods 331 , each screw rod 331 is connected to a nut 332 , and the nut 332 is fixed to both ends of the power output assembly 320 in the length direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, each screw rod 331 is fixedly connected to a rocker 311. Therefore, the operator can control the rotation of each screw rod 331 separately.

[0042] Since the first support assembly 410, the second support assembly 420, and the width adjustment mechanism 300 are not very large, adjusting one screw rod 331 may cause the power output assembly 320 to be non-parallel to the first support assembly 410, that is, cause the first transmission mechanism 100 to be non-parallel to the second transmission mechanism 200. Therefore, two screw rods 331 are provided to adjust the positions of the two ends of the length direction of the power output assembly 320 respectively, thereby making the power output assembly 320 parallel to the first support assembly 410, thereby making the first transmission mechanism 100 and the second transmission mechanism 200 parallel.

[0043] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the conveyor line provided by the embodiment of the utility model viewed from another direction; Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the conveyor line includes a driving motor 510, which is in transmission connection with a transmission shaft 520, and the transmission shaft 520 is axially slidingly and circumferentially fixedly connected to a power input end of the second transmission mechanism 200.

[0044] The second transmission mechanism 200 may include an input pulley, which is the power output end of the second transmission mechanism 200. The transmission shaft 520 is axially slidable and circumferentially fixedly connected to the power output end of the second transmission mechanism 200, which means that the shaft of the transmission shaft 520 that cooperates with the input pulley, and the input pulley and the transmission shaft 520 are not cylindrical but cooperate with each other, so the transmission shaft 520 and the input pulley can rotate relative to each other, and the two can slide against each other.

[0045] By axially sliding and circumferentially fixing the transmission shaft 520 and the power input end of the second transmission mechanism 200, it can be achieved that when the second transmission mechanism 200 is driven to different positions by the power output assembly 320, the second transmission mechanism 200 can maintain the torque transmission function with the transmission shaft 520, thereby improving the adaptability of the conveyor line.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the transmission shaft 520 has a transmission plane, and the distance between the transmission plane and the axis of the transmission shaft 520 is smaller than the distance between other positions on the circumference of the transmission shaft 520 and the axis of the transmission shaft 520, and the power input end of the second transmission mechanism 200 is adapted to the transmission shaft 520.

[0047] The transmission plane is parallel to the axis of the transmission shaft 520 , and the distance between the transmission plane and the axis of the transmission shaft 520 is smaller than the radius of the transmission shaft 520 . The shaft hole of the input pulley of the second transmission mechanism 200 also has a surface matching therewith.

[0048] By setting a transmission plane to realize transmission of the power input end of the second transmission mechanism 200, not only is processing convenient and cost-effective, but the friction resistance between the transmission shaft 520 and the power input end of the second transmission mechanism 200 can also be reduced.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the conveyor line further includes a blocking mechanism 600 , and the blocking mechanism 600 includes a blocking telescopic member 610 that can be telescoped in a vertical direction, and the blocking telescopic member 610 is fixedly disposed on the first supporting assembly 410 .

[0050] The blocking telescopic member 610 may be an upwardly extending cylinder, which may be fixedly arranged relative to the first supporting assembly 410 via a bracket, and the piston rod extended from the cylinder serves as a component for blocking product delivery. Of course, in another implementation, an electric push rod linear motor may be used as the blocking telescopic member 610 to block products on the conveyor line.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the blocking mechanism 600 further includes a vehicle sensor 620 , and the vehicle sensor 620 is installed on the first supporting assembly 410 .

[0052] The carrier sensor 620 is arranged in the upstream direction of the conveying direction of the blocking telescopic member 610. Specifically, in this embodiment, the carrier sensor 620 can be a proximity switch or a reflective photoelectric sensor. Therefore, when the carrier sensor 620 detects that the product is conveyed above it, it can give a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the driving motor 510 to stop working, and the blocking telescopic member 610 extends upward to block the product on the conveyor line from running.

[0053] The operating principle of this embodiment is:

[0054] In this embodiment, the product transported by the conveyor line is used as a carrier for explanation:

[0055] 1. The carrier flows into the conveyor line;

[0056] 2. The blocking telescopic member 610 extends to block the carrier from being moved by the conveyor line, and the sensor senses that the carrier has moved into position;

[0057] 3. The driving motor 510 stops working, and the remaining equipment loads the carrier with the processed product;

[0058] 4. After the operation is completed, the blocking telescopic member 610 is retracted to allow the vehicle to pass, and the drive motor 510 resumes operation;

[0059] 5. The carrier and the products transported on it are output by the conveyor line;

[0060] 6. When the size of the carrier needs to be changed, the operator puts the rocker 311 on the end of the screw rod 331, and uses the handle 312 to drive the rocker 311 to rotate. The rocker 311 drives the screw rod 331 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The cooperation between the screw rod 331 and the nut 332 converts the rotation of the screw rod 331 into the linear motion of the nut 332, thereby driving the movable mounting plate in the power output assembly 320 and the second transmission mechanism 200 to move linearly, changing the distance between the second transmission mechanism 200 and the first transmission mechanism 100, wherein the distance can be just enough for the carrier of the new size to flow easily on the conveyor belt of the conveyor line. Moreover, by setting two screw rods 331, the positions of the two ends of the second transmission mechanism 200 can be adjusted respectively, so that the second transmission mechanism 200 remains parallel to the first transmission mechanism 100.
