Description
Technical Field

[0002] In scenarios such as logistics and production lines where item conveyance is required, the linear conveyance of items usually cannot meet all technological requirements, and it is often necessary to change the conveyance direction of items through a steering structure. Traditional steering mechanisms usually need to stop the conveyance of items first, then perform direction conversion, and then continue the conveyance. In this process, the steering operation occupies the conveyance time, causing an interruption in the conveyance and reducing the overall conveyance efficiency. On the other hand, since the items need to pause or decelerate during the steering process, the overall rhythm of the conveyor line is affected. Especially in occasions with high-frequency conveyance requirements, the accumulation of the interruption time will significantly reduce the conveyance efficiency and affect the overall performance of the production or logistics system. Based on this, we propose a right-angle steering structure for conveying and transporting. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation manners
[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] This embodiment proposes a right-angle turning structure for conveying and transporting, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, it includes a transverse conveyor belt 1 and a longitudinal conveyor belt 2 which are arranged at a right angle on a horizontal plane. The end of the transverse conveyor belt 1 is set as a feeding station; the head end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 2 is set as a discharging station, and at least two transfer plates 3 are arranged between the transverse conveyor belt 1 and the longitudinal conveyor belt 2. In the initial state, one of the transfer plates 3 is located at the feeding station, and the other transfer plate 3 is located at the discharging station. Several transfer plates 3 circulate between the feeding station and the discharging station in turn. The transfer plate 3 at the feeding station is used to receive materials transported by the transverse conveyor belt 1. After the transfer plate 3 moves to the discharging station, the material is transferred to the longitudinal conveyor belt 2, thereby realizing the diverting operation of the material between the right-angle conveyor belts. During the whole process, through the circulation of multiple transfer plates 3, when a transfer plate 3 completes the material diverting, it returns to the feeding station to prepare for the diverting operation of the next material. At the same time, another transfer plate 3 takes over the work to ensure that the diverting process is seamless, reduce the intermittent time, and improve the material transportation diverting efficiency. In this embodiment, four transfer plates 3 are provided, and the four transfer plates 3 circulate between the feeding station and the discharging station in sequence.
[0024] When the material enters the transfer plate 3 at the feeding station through the transverse conveyor belt 1, the material will move toward the direction close to the transfer plate 3 due to the inertial force. Since the magnitude of the inertial force is related to the weight of the material, in order to ensure that materials of different weights can be moved to the transfer plate 3, in this embodiment, the transfer plate 3 is composed of an L-shaped frame 31 and a roller. Specifically, the transfer plate 3 includes an L-shaped frame 31, and a plurality of first rollers 32 are installed in the inner rotation of the L-shaped frame 31. The first rollers 32 are arranged parallel to the width direction of the transverse conveyor belt 1. When the material moves to the transfer plate 3 due to the inertial force, the material contacts the first roller 32, and the material is pushed toward the inner direction of the transfer plate 3 by rotating the first roller 32, so that the material moves completely to the transfer plate 3. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of the gap between the transfer plate 3 and the transverse conveyor belt 1 on the material transportation, we install a connecting plate 33 located on the same horizontal plane on the outer side of the outermost first roller 32, and guide the material into the transfer plate 3 and contact the first roller 32 through the connecting plate 33. In this embodiment, the L-shaped frame 31 has an L-shaped structure, and the two opening directions of the L-shaped frame 31 correspond to the end of the transverse conveyor belt 1 and the beginning of the longitudinal conveyor belt 2, respectively, so as to facilitate the material to enter and leave the transfer plate 3, and the L-shaped frame 31 can form a barrier to the material entering the transfer plate 3, so as to prevent the material from escaping from the transfer plate 3 under the transportation of the first roller 32.
[0025] Similarly, in order to direct the material from the transfer plate 3 into the longitudinal conveyor belt 2, we have rotatably installed several second rollers 34 in the L-shaped frame 31. The second rollers 34 are arranged parallel to the width direction of the longitudinal conveyor belt 2. When the transfer plate 3 moves to the discharging station, the material is transported to the longitudinal conveyor belt 2 by rotating the second rollers 34.
[0026] In order to realize the rotation of the first roller 32 and the second roller 34, an external driving source is required to drive them. However, the transfer plate 3 is in a moving state. If the driving device is directly installed on the L-shaped frame 31, there will be a problem with the line layout. For this reason, we install the external driving source on the vertical plate 5. Only when the transfer plate 3 moves to the feeding station, the first roller 32 is driven by the external driving source, and when the transfer plate 3 moves to the discharging station, the second roller 34 is driven by the external driving source. Specifically, several first rollers 32 are synchronously driven and connected by a first synchronous wheel and a first synchronous belt, and the axis of one of the first synchronous wheels is equipped with a first driving gear 321; several second rollers 34 are connected by a second synchronous wheel and a second synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is synchronously driven and connected, and the axis of one of the second synchronous wheels is installed with a second driving gear 341; the first driving gear 321 and the second driving gear 341 are both extended to the outside of the L-shaped frame 31; the rear end of the vertical plate 5 is installed with a horizontal driving motor 7 and a longitudinal driving motor 8, the motor shaft of the horizontal driving motor 7 passes through the vertical plate 5 and is installed with a first gear 71, and the motor shaft of the longitudinal driving motor 8 passes through the vertical plate 5 and is installed with a second gear 81. When the transfer plate 3 is located at the feeding station, the first driving gear 321 on the transfer plate 3 is meshed and connected with the first gear 71; when the transfer plate 3 is located at the discharging station, the second driving gear 341 on the transfer plate 3 is meshed and connected with the second gear 81. In this embodiment, in order to increase the contact area between the gears, all gears adopt a bevel gear structure.
[0027] Based on the above solution, we use the circulating conveying component 4 to achieve the circular movement of several transfer plates 3 between the feeding station and the discharging station. Moreover, when at the feeding station, the first driving gear 321 meshes with the first gear 71, and when at the discharging station, the second driving gear 341 meshes with the longitudinal driving motor 8. Specifically, the circulating conveying component 4 includes four chain wheels 41 distributed in a diamond shape. The chain wheels 41 are movably installed on the vertical plate 5. A chain 42 is commonly sleeved between the four chain wheels 41. A fixing rod 44 is installed at the rear end of the L-shaped frame 31. A connecting seat 43 is movably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the fixing rod 44. The connecting seat 43 is fixedly installed on a link of the chain 42. The first gear 71 is located directly outside the rightmost chain wheel 41, and the second gear 81 is located directly outside the leftmost chain wheel 41. When the transfer plate 3 is at the feeding station, at this time, the distance between the first driving gear 321 on the upper transfer plate 3 and the first gear 71 is the smallest, and it just meshes with the first gear 71. The first roller 32 rotates under the drive of the transverse driving motor 7 to transport the material into the transfer plate 3. When the transfer plate 3 leaves the feeding station, since the distance between the first driving gear 321 and the first gear 71 increases, the first driving gear 321 and the first gear 71 cannot mesh, and the material stops moving. Similarly, when the transfer plate 3 is at the discharging station, the distance between the second driving gear 341 on the transfer plate 3 and the second gear 81 is the smallest, and it just meshes with the second gear 81. The second roller 34 rotates under the drive of the longitudinal driving motor 8 to transport the material onto the longitudinal conveyor belt 2. When the transfer plate 3 leaves the discharging station, the second driving gear 341 stops rotating. It should be noted that one of the chain wheels 41 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the main motor 6. The main motor 6 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 5, and the main motor 6 drives the chain 42 to rotate.
[0028] To ensure that the material is in a stable state on the transfer plate 3, that is, the transfer plate 3 needs to remain horizontal throughout the entire movement process. For this purpose, we install a cross-shaped plate 45 at the rear end of the fixing rod 44. The cross-shaped plate 45 has a cross-shaped structure. Guide wheels 46 are rotatably connected to the four corners of the cross-shaped plate 45, and the heights of the four guide wheels 46 decrease in a stepped manner; a cross-shaped guide groove 51 adapted to the four cross-shaped plates 45 is opened at the front end of the vertical plate 5. The guide wheels 46 are slidably assembled in the cross-shaped guide groove 51; during the movement of the transfer plate 3, the guide wheels 46 at different heights slide in the cross-shaped guide groove 51 adapted to them, making the transfer plate 3 different in both the horizontal and vertical directions, improving the stability during the material transfer process.
