Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of box conveying, in particular to a turnover conveyor for box cleaning. Background Art

[0002] Turnover boxes are important tools in the logistics system, which can store, circulate and transport materials, thereby improving logistics efficiency and reducing operating costs;

[0003] Taking medical turnover boxes as an example, after the turnover boxes transport medical supplies / waste to the designated location, they need to be disinfected and cleaned to ensure the cleanliness of the turnover boxes and avoid contamination of other medical supplies by their reuse;

[0004] After the turnover box is cleaned, some disinfectant and cleaning liquid will remain inside it. Manual flipping and dumping is not only labor-intensive, but also easily causes damage to the turnover box. Some flipping mechanisms lack large-angle flipping, that is, the turnover box is first fixed, then tilted at a certain angle and delayed for a period of time to ensure that the liquid is poured out of the turnover box, and finally returned to its original position. This method will result in low transfer efficiency due to delay, and there is a problem that some liquid adheres to the turnover box and cannot be poured out. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a turnover conveyor for box cleaning, which not only realizes large-angle turnover of the turnover box to ensure that the cleaning liquid can be poured out smoothly, but also realizes smooth online movement of the turnover box, avoiding the low transfer efficiency caused by a delay during traditional tilting.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the box cleaning overturning conveyor includes:

[0007] A supporting ring body is driven to rotate and is mounted on the supporting frame;

[0008] The conveying components are divided into two groups and are arranged and fixed on the supporting ring body at intervals in the upper and lower parts. The two groups of conveying components form a passage for the turnover boxes to pass through. Each group of conveying components has a plurality of rollers for transversely conveying the turnover boxes.

[0009] The clamping components are divided into two groups and correspond to a pair of conveying components. Each group of clamping components has a push plate that is driven to move and a plurality of clamping plates spaced apart on the push plate. Each clamping plate is located between adjacent rollers and moves toward and away from the channel through which the turnover box passes.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting ring body is rotatably mounted on a plurality of rollers and is fixed with a coaxially arranged large gear ring;

[0011] The driving component is meshed and connected with the large gear ring through the gear assembly.

[0012] Further, the positioning component has a positioning sensor;

[0013] The positioning sensor is installed on the support frame and monitors the rotation angle of the support ring;

[0014] The positioning sensor transmits the position signal to the controller, and the controller controls the action of the drive component.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0016] A positioning component, comprising a pair of second buffers mounted on the lower end of the support frame, and a pair of positioning blocks mounted on the support ring body;

[0017] A pair of second buffers are symmetrical to the vertical plane of the supporting ring body axis, and a pair of positioning blocks are symmetrical to the horizontal plane of the supporting ring body axis;

[0018] When the conveying member is conveyed horizontally, one of the positioning blocks contacts a second buffer.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the pressing component further comprises a fixing plate fixed on the supporting ring body and a cylinder mounted on the fixing plate;

[0020] The output end of the cylinder is connected to the push plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the push plate is provided with a plurality of guide rods;

[0022] Each guide rod slides through the fixed plate and the other end is mounted on the support plate;

[0023] A first buffer facing the fixing plate is arranged on the supporting plate.

[0024] Furthermore, the surface of the pressing plate is coated with elastic material;

[0025] A distance sensor connected to the controller is arranged on the support plate; after receiving the distance signal, the controller controls the action of the cylinder.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present box cleaning overturning conveyor is fixed on a circumferentially rotating support ring through the conveying components and the pressing components, and the pressing components press and release the turnover boxes in the channel, which not only realizes the large-angle overturning of the turnover boxes to ensure that the cleaning liquid can be smoothly poured out, but also under the action of the conveying components, the turnover boxes can be smoothly moved online, avoiding the low transfer efficiency caused by a delay for a period of time during traditional tilting, and the turnover boxes are maintained in an inverted state to achieve complete pouring of the cleaning liquid;

[0027] Since a pair of second buffers are symmetrical with the vertical plane of the axis of the supporting ring body, and a pair of positioning blocks are symmetrical with the horizontal plane of the axis of the supporting ring body, the positioning blocks and the second buffers are in contact with each other, so as to limit the supporting ring body that rotates 180° forward and backward in sequence, thereby ensuring that the turnover box can be turned over and dumped at a large angle in sequence, and avoiding the problem of winding of the power source of the conveying parts and the pressing parts;

[0028] On the one hand, the push plate slides relative to the fixed plate through the guide rod to achieve smooth movement. On the other hand, the first buffer on the support plate will contact the fixed plate. This contact not only plays a limiting role, but also can buffer the push plate to avoid excessive force acting on the turnover box when the clamping plate is clamped.

[0042] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the box cleaning overturning conveyor includes:

[0044] The supporting ring body 42 is driven to rotate and is mounted on the supporting frame 10;

[0045] The conveying components 20 are divided into two groups and are arranged and fixed on the supporting ring body 42 at intervals in the upper and lower parts. The two groups of conveying components 20 form a passage for the turnover boxes to pass through. Each group of conveying components 20 has a plurality of rollers for transversely conveying the turnover boxes.

[0046] The clamping components 30 are divided into two groups and correspond to a pair of conveying components 20. Each group of the clamping components 30 comprises a push plate 37 that is driven to move, and a plurality of clamping plates 31 that are arranged on the push plate 37 at intervals. Each clamping plate 31 is located between adjacent rollers and moves toward and away from the passage through which the turnover box passes.

[0047] Specifically, the support frame 10 is the overall support structure of the box cleaning overturning conveyor, which can be made of rectangular tubes or plates, and the turnover box can pass through;

[0048] The supporting ring body 42 is mainly composed of circular rings arranged and connected in a transverse direction, one of which may be provided with an annular groove 43 for winding the cable, and the supporting ring body 42 is driven to rotate and is installed on the supporting frame 10;

[0049] The conveying member 20 is a conventional conveying structure, i.e., a roller having synchronous and co-rotating rollers, and the structure is not further described here; a pair of conveying members 20 are fixed on the supporting ring body 42 and rotate circumferentially with the supporting ring body 42, and the channel formed between them can allow the turnover box to pass smoothly;

[0050] The pressing component 30 is correspondingly located at the conveying component 20, and the push plate 37 drives the multiple pressing plates 31 to move. When the pressing plates 31 in a pair of pressing components 30 are close to each other, the turnover box is pressed, and when the pressing plates 31 in a pair of pressing components 30 are away from each other, the turnover box is released;

[0051] When the box cleaning overturning conveyor is in the initial state of use, a pair of conveying components 20 are arranged up and down. For the convenience of description, the upper conveying component 20 is the conveying component 20A, the lower conveying component 20 is the conveying component 20B, the pressing component 30 at the conveying component 20A is the pressing component 30a, and the pressing component 30 at the conveying component 20B is the pressing component 30b;

[0052] The cleaned turnover box first enters the conveying part 20B, and is received by the conveying part 20B. The pressing parts 30a and 30b are activated, that is, the corresponding pressing plates 31 pass through the adjacent rollers and approach each other to press the turnover box.

[0053] After the turnover box is pressed and fixed, the support ring body 42 is driven to rotate 180°, the conveying component 20B and the pressing component 30b are located at the top, and the conveying component 20A and the pressing component 30a are located at the bottom. This large-angle flip helps to pour out the disinfection liquid in the turnover box; at this time, the pressing component 30b and the pressing component 30a are in action, that is, the corresponding pressing plates 31 pass through the adjacent rollers and move away from each other to loosen the turnover box, and the turnover box is then transported on the conveying component 20A;

[0054] The box cleaning overturning conveyor is fixed on the supporting ring body 42 that rotates in the circumferential direction through the conveying component 20 and the pressing component 30, and the pressing component 30 presses and releases the turnover box in the channel, which not only realizes the large-angle overturning of the turnover box to ensure that the cleaning liquid can be smoothly poured out, but also under the action of the conveying component 20, the turnover box can be smoothly moved online, avoiding the low transfer efficiency caused by a delay for a period of time during traditional tilting, and the turnover box maintains an inverted state to achieve complete pouring of the cleaning liquid;

[0055] As explained, the overturning conveyor further includes a liquid collecting box, for example, the liquid collecting box is located below the supporting ring body 42 and is used to receive the liquid dumped after the turnover box is overturned.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the supporting ring body 42 is rotatably mounted on a plurality of rollers 44 and fixed with a coaxially arranged large gear ring 41;

[0057] The driving component 50 is meshedly connected with the large gear ring 41 through a gear assembly;

[0058] Further, the positioning component has a positioning sensor 61;

[0059] The positioning sensor 61 is installed on the support frame 10 and monitors the rotation angle of the support ring body 42;

[0060] The positioning sensor 61 transmits the position signal to the controller, and the controller controls the action of the driving component 50;

[0061] Specifically, the driving component 50 may be a conventional mechanism, such as a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to the large gear ring 41 through a gear assembly;

[0062] The positioning sensor 61 is used to monitor the rotation angle of the support ring body 42, that is, when the support ring body 42 rotates from the initial state to 180°, the positioning sensor 61 senses the position of the support ring body 42; the controller receives the corresponding signal to control the driving component 50 to stop starting;

[0063] As explained, the actions of the driving component 50 include starting, stopping, and forward and reverse rotation;

[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the preferred embodiment, the box cleaning overturning conveyor also includes:

[0065] The positioning component comprises a pair of second buffers 63 mounted on the lower end of the support frame 10 and a pair of positioning blocks 62 mounted on the support ring body 42;

[0066] A pair of second buffers 63 are symmetrical to the vertical plane of the axis of the supporting ring body 42, and a pair of positioning blocks 62 are symmetrical to the horizontal plane of the axis of the supporting ring body 42;

[0067] When the conveying member 20 is conveyed horizontally, one of the positioning blocks 62 contacts one of the second buffers 63;

[0068] Specifically, the conveying member 20 is horizontally conveyed, that is, a pair of conveying members 20 are arranged symmetrically up and down;

[0069] The second buffer 63 may be a hydraulic structure, and is used for buffering and positioning after the support ring 42 rotates 180°, so as to avoid position deviation caused by the rotation inertia of the support ring 42 or the untimely response of the positioning sensor 61;

[0070] Example

[0071] For the convenience of description, a pair of second buffers 63 are defined as second buffers 63A, B, and a pair of positioning blocks 62 are defined as positioning blocks 62a, b, and in the initial state, when the conveying member 20 is conveyed horizontally, the second buffer 63A is in contact with the positioning block 62a;

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, when the support ring body 42 is rotated 180° in the positive direction from the initial state, the second buffer 63A and the positioning block 62a are separated from each other, and the second buffer 63B and the positioning block 62b are in contact, so as to limit the support ring body 42; when the support ring body 42 is rotated 180° in the reverse direction again, the second buffer 63B and the positioning block 62b are separated from each other, and the second buffer 63A and the positioning block 62a are in contact, so as to limit the support ring body 42 again;

[0073] This embodiment not only limits the support ring body 42 that rotates 180° forward and backward in sequence, ensuring that the turnover box is flipped and tipped over at a large angle in sequence, but also avoids the problem of winding of the power source of the conveying component 20 and the clamping component 30.

[0074] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in the preferred embodiment, the pressing component 30 further comprises a fixing plate 33 fixed on the supporting ring body 42 and a cylinder 32 mounted on the fixing plate 33;

[0075] The output end of the cylinder 32 is connected to the push plate 37;

[0076] Further, a plurality of guide rods 34 are provided on the push plate 37;

[0077] Each guide rod 34 slides through the fixing plate 33, and the other end is mounted on the supporting plate 36;

[0078] The support plate 36 is provided with a first buffer 35 facing the fixing plate 33;

[0079] Specifically, the guide rod 34 can be connected to the fixed plate 33 by a linear bearing; the first buffer 35 can be a hydraulic structure;

[0080] The action of the cylinder 32 drives the push plate 37 to move, so that the multiple clamping plates 31 on the push plate 37 move closer to or farther away from the channel; when the clamping plate 31 approaches the channel to clamp the turnover box, on the one hand, the push plate 37 slides relative to the fixed plate 33 through the guide rod 34 to achieve smooth movement, and on the other hand, the first buffer 35 on the support plate 36 will contact the fixed plate 33. This contact not only plays a limiting role, but also can buffer the push plate 37 to avoid excessive force acting on the turnover box when the clamping plate 31 is clamped.

[0081] Furthermore, the surface of the pressing plate 31 is coated with elastic material;

[0082] A distance sensor connected to the controller is provided on the support plate 36 ; after receiving the distance signal, the controller controls the action of the cylinder 32 .

[0083] In the initial state of the box cleaning overturning conveyor, a pair of conveying components 20 are arranged up and down;

[0084] The cleaned turnover box is received by the conveying component 20 below, and a pair of pressing components 30 is actuated, that is, the cylinder 32 is started, driving the push plate 37 to move toward the channel, so that the pressing plate 31 on the push plate 37 acts on the turnover box to press and fix the turnover box, and at the same time, the first buffer 35 buffers and limits the moving position of the push plate 37;

[0085] The driving component 50 starts, driving the support ring body 42 to rotate 180° in the forward direction. At this time, the turnover box flips at a large angle, so that the disinfectant liquid inside is dumped and discharged. At the same time, the positioning sensor 61 senses the angle of the support ring body 42, and the second buffer 63 buffers the support ring body 42. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller controls the driving component 50 to stop rotating;

[0086] The pair of push plates 37 move away from each other under the action of the cylinder 32, so that the pressing plate 31 releases the turnover box, and the released turnover box is then transported and removed on the conveying component 20;

[0087] When the next cleaned turnover box is received by the conveying component 20 below, the pair of pressing components 30 continue to act to press and fix the turnover box. At this time, the driving component 50 drives the supporting ring body 42 to rotate 180° in the opposite direction. At this time, the turnover box flips at a large angle to dump the disinfectant liquid inside. At this time, the positioning sensor 61 senses the angle of the supporting ring body 42, and the second buffer 63 buffers and limits the supporting ring body 42. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller controls the driving component 50 to stop rotating;

[0088] The transfer box is then released and transported out on the transport element 20 .
