Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyor mesh belts, in particular to a universal ball mesh belt. Background Art

[0002] Conveyor belts are a common type of conveying equipment in industrial production. According to different production needs, various types of conveying equipment such as belt conveyors and chain conveyors can be selected. As a type of conveying equipment, ball mesh belt chains control the conveying direction and orientation of items by controlling the balls, such as the rotation direction and speed of the balls. Compared with other types of conveying equipment, ball mesh belt chains have smoother conveying and stronger control capabilities.

[0003] In the prior art, the balls in the ball mesh belt are generally installed through the ball grooves on the mesh belt. Generally, the balls are placed in the ball grooves first, and then the balls are confined in the ball grooves by an annular cover plate, so that the balls protrude from the annular cover plate to drive the objects placed on the mesh belt to move.

[0004] However, in the prior art, most of the annular cover plates of the ball mesh belts are installed in the ball groove by snap-on installation. Since there is a driving belt at the bottom of the ball mesh belt to drive the balls of the ball mesh belt to actively rotate, the balls will push up against the annular cover plate when rotating. Therefore, the annular cover plate is prone to falling off after long-term operation. Utility Model Content

[0008] A further technical solution is that a welding ring is arranged on the lower side of the annular cover, and a welding notch is arranged on the lower side of the welding ring.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a positioning strip is vertically arranged on the hole wall at the upper part of the rotating hole, and a positioning notch matching the positioning strip is vertically arranged on the edge of the annular cover.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a plurality of supporting ribs are distributed on the inner wall of the rotating ring, and when the ball is installed in the rotating hole, the supporting ribs are in contact with the surface of the ball.

[0012] A further technical solution is that a plurality of rotating holes are distributed on the conveying module, and a driving tooth groove is recessed between two adjacent rotating holes on the lower side of the conveying module.

[0013] A further technical solution is that a bar hole communicating with the driving tooth groove is provided on the upper side of the conveying module.

By setting a rotating ring and an annular cover, the ball can be restricted to rotate in the rotating hole. With the help of the balls protruding from the upper and lower sides of the conveying module, a driving ball such as a transmission belt can be arranged on the lower side of the ball mesh belt to rotate the ball to convey the items on the upper side of the ball mesh belt. A driving mechanism can also be used to drive the overall movement of the ball mesh belt to convey the items, and the balls can be freely rotated to realize accumulation and release conveying (buffered conveying); 2.

By setting the rotating ring 4 and the annular cover 5, the ball 3 can be restricted to rotate in the rotating hole 2. With the ball 3 protruding from the upper and lower sides of the conveying module 1, the ball 3 can be driven by a transmission belt or the like arranged on the lower side of the ball 3 mesh belt to rotate the ball 3 to convey the items on the upper side of the ball 3 mesh belt. The driving mechanism can also be used to drive the ball 3 mesh belt to move as a whole to convey the items. The ball 3 can be freely rotated to realize the accumulation type conveying or the buffer type conveying. By installing the driving mechanism facing different directions on the lower side of the ball 3 mesh belt, the ball 3 on the ball 3 mesh belt can be driven to rotate in different directions in different areas to realize various functions such as automatic sorting and rotation in the row.
