Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, and particularly to an easy-to-clean mesh belt conveyor. Background Art

[0002] A mesh belt conveyor is a material handling machine that continuously conveys materials on a certain line, also known as a continuous conveyor. The drive motor of the mesh belt conveyor is often arranged outside the mesh belt conveyor, making the production environment of the mesh belt conveyor more likely to generate dirt, further increasing the cleaning difficulty of the mesh belt conveyor and posing a risk of product contamination. Existing mesh belt conveyors often also have a large number of connection and fixing points, and it is difficult to clean these connection and fixing points, resulting in a large number of cleaning dead corners on the mesh belt conveyor.

[0003] CN206126062U provides a mesh belt conveying mechanism, which includes: a driving conveying mesh belt driven by a frequency conversion motor; a driven conveying mesh belt; a transition plate mechanism arranged between the driving conveying mesh belt and the driven conveying mesh belt; and a synchronous belt linkage mechanism for transmitting the movement of the driving conveying mesh belt to the driven conveying mesh belt to drive the driven conveying mesh belt to move together. The frequency conversion motor drives the driving conveying mesh belt to move, the driving conveying mesh belt drives the synchronous belt linkage mechanism to move, the synchronous belt linkage mechanism drives the driven conveying mesh belt to move, and the vials are conveyed onto the driving conveying mesh belt, the transition plate mechanism and the driven conveying mesh belt at one time, and then conveyed to the downstream.

[0004] The mesh belt conveyor provided by the above-mentioned utility model arranges the frequency conversion motor at the driving conveying mesh belt, making the distance between the frequency conversion motor and the product (vial) relatively close and lacking effective shielding, which is likely to contaminate the product with dirt generated by the motor operation and making the cleaning difficulty of the mesh belt conveyor relatively high. Summary of the Utility Model

[0055] The following describes exemplary implementation manners of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific descriptions are only used to teach those skilled in the art how to implement the present application, and are not used to exhaust all feasible manners of the present application, nor to limit the scope of the present application.

[0056] The implementation manner of the present application provides an easy-to-clean mesh belt conveyor (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "mesh belt conveyor"), as Figures 1 to 5 shown, the mesh belt conveyor may include a fuselage plate 10, a driving wheel 20, a driven wheel, a mesh belt 41, a motor 50, a transmission assembly 60, a guardrail 70, a frame plate 81, and legs 82.

[0057] Specifically, the fuselage plate 10 may be a long strip-shaped plate member, and two fuselage plates 10 may be oppositely arranged on both sides of the mesh belt conveyor in the width direction ( Figure 3 the left and right directions in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, on the inner sides of the two body plates 10 (the sides of the body plates 10 that are close to each other, i.e., the opposite sides), a plurality of corresponding studs 11 can be formed respectively, and one or more connecting blocks 12 can also be provided on the inner sides of the two body plates 10. The connecting block 12 can be a "U"-shaped connecting block, and connecting holes can be formed at both ends (the two protruding ends of the "U" shape) to connect the studs 11 on both sides. The stud 11 can be a butt-weld stud, that is, the stud 11 can be welded to the inner side of the body plate 10 (the opposite sides of the two body plates). It can be understood that with the above connection method of the body plates, welding the stud 11 to the inner side of the body plate can reduce the openings on the outer side of the body plate, and arranging the connecting block and the like inside the body plate can reduce the external connection structure of the mesh belt conveyor, making the mesh belt conveyor easier to clean.

[0058] As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the body plate 10 can be connected with a driving wheel 20 and a plurality of driven wheels. It can be understood that the driving wheel 20 and the driven wheels can be arranged between the two body plates 10 (including only some structures such as the rotating shafts being between the two body plates 10), or can be connected to the body plate 10 through connecting parts and the like. The axes of the driving wheel 20 and the driven wheels can be perpendicular to the body plate 10. Exemplarily, the mesh belt conveyor can include a driving wheel 20, a first driven wheel 31, and a second driven wheel 32. The driving wheel 20 can be arranged below the body plate 10 for easy connection with the motor 50 through a transmission assembly 60.

[0059] The first driven wheel 31 and the second driven wheel 32 can be arranged at both ends in the length direction ( Figure 5 the left-right direction in

[0060] It can be understood that the mesh belt conveyor can also be provided with a third driven wheel 33 to adjust the tension of the mesh belt 41, etc. The driving wheel 20 can be a gear, that is, the outer periphery of the driving wheel 20 can have teeth, and teeth capable of meshing with the driving wheel 20 can be formed on the inner side (the side in contact with the driving wheel) of the mesh belt 41. The driving wheel 20 can be a synchronous pulley, and the mesh belt 41 can be a synchronous (mesh) belt.

[0061] Preferably, the mesh belt conveyor can further include two supporting wheels 34, and the two supporting wheels 34 can be connected to the fuselage plate 10 through a connecting member. The axial directions of the two supporting wheels 34 can be parallel to the axial direction of the driving wheel. The two supporting wheels 34 can be both arranged outside the mesh belt 41 and can be respectively arranged on both sides in the length direction of the fuselage plate 10 of the driving wheel 20, that is, on the radially outer side of the driving wheel 20. The supporting wheels 34 can make the mesh belt 41 abut against the driving wheel 20 and can increase the contact area between the driving wheel 20 and the mesh belt 41.

[0062] Preferably, a wear-resistant strip 42 can be arranged between the first driven wheel 31 and the second driven wheel 32, and the wear-resistant strip 42 can be connected to the fuselage plate 10. The wear-resistant strip 42 can be arranged on the back of the part of the mesh belt 41 for conveying products (for example, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 the upper side part of the mesh belt 41 in the middle / underneath), to support the mesh belt 41 to keep the transportation process stable. It can be understood that the wear-resistant strip 42 slides and rubs against the mesh belt 41 for a long time when the mesh belt conveyor is working, so it requires good wear resistance.

[0063] Furthermore, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the frame plate 81 and the legs 82 of the mesh belt conveyor can place and support the main body part of the mesh belt conveyor. The fuselage plate 10 can be connected to the frame plate 81 through the legs 82, and the number and position of the legs 82 can be determined according to actual needs. The motor 50 can be arranged below the frame plate 81, and the frame plate 81 can at least partially isolate the motor 50 from the mesh belt 41 and the products transported by it. It can be understood that the motor and the transmission components, etc. often require lubricating oil, coolant, etc. for assistance during actual work, and the lubricating oil, coolant, etc. may overflow and pollute the production environment and products, and may further increase the difficulty of cleaning the mesh belt conveyor. And isolating the motor 50 from the mesh belt 41 and the products transported by it can reduce the cleaning difficulty of the production environment and reduce the risk of product contamination. The legs 82 can be connected to the fuselage plate 10 and the frame plate 81 using screws.

[0064] As Figure 3As shown, the motor 50 can be connected to the driving wheel 20 through the transmission assembly 60, and the transmission assembly 60 can at least partially pass through the frame plate 81. Preferably, the transmission assembly 60 can be or include a synchronous pulley assembly. The transmission assembly 60 can include a first synchronous pulley 61, a second synchronous pulley 62 and a synchronous belt 63. The first synchronous pulley 61 can be connected to the motor shaft 51 of the motor 50 and rotate therewith, and the second synchronous pulley 62 can be connected to the driving wheel shaft 21 and drive the driving wheel 20 to rotate. The synchronous belt 63 can be sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 61 and the second synchronous pulley 62 to achieve the transmission between the motor 50 and the driving wheel 20. The synchronous belt 63 can at least partially pass through the frame plate 81. It can be understood that using a synchronous pulley as the transmission assembly can make the process of transmitting power more gentle and stable.

[0065] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the guardrail 70 can be arranged above the fuselage plate 10, and the two guardrails 70 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the mesh belt 41 ( Figure 4 in the up and down direction). The gap between the two guardrails 70 can be used to pass products (in this embodiment, the product is taken as an example of the vial 100), which can assist the products to pass through the mesh belt conveyor more smoothly. The size of the gap between the two guardrails can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the products. The guardrail 70 can be connected to the fuselage plate 10 through a plurality of guardrail connectors 71. Preferably, the guardrail 70 can be made of a non-metallic wear-resistant material.

[0066] Preferably, a rectangular flange 83 can be arranged outside a part of the transmission assembly 60 above the frame plate 81. The rectangular flange 83 can be a hollow rectangular flange, and at least a part of the transmission assembly 60 (including a part of the driving wheel 20 connected to the transmission assembly) can be arranged inside the rectangular flange 83. It can be understood that the rectangular flange 83 can isolate the transmission assembly above the frame plate 81 from the outside world, which can make the outside of the mesh belt conveyor more concise and easier to clean. The rectangular flange 83 can be connected to the frame plate 81 and the fuselage plate 10 by screws.

[0067] Optionally, when there is a corner at the connection of multiple mesh belt conveyors, a corner device 90 (only a part of the corner device 90 is shown in the figure) can be arranged at the end of the mesh belt conveyor. The corner device 90 can have a corner device housing, and the corner device housing can be made of stainless steel.

[0068] Preferably, the connection structure of the mesh belt conveyor can be arranged as much as possible inside the mesh belt conveyor (especially inside the fuselage plate 10), such as using the stud 11 and the connecting block 12 to connect the fuselage plate 10 as described above. The external connection of the mesh belt conveyor can use countersunk head slotted screws as much as possible, so that the external surface of the mesh belt conveyor is as smooth and flat as possible, reducing the protruding structure, making the mesh belt conveyor not easy to be polluted and easier to clean.

[0069] It can be understood that standard parts can be used for the motor, synchronous belt pulley, driving pulley, mesh belt, etc. in this embodiment.

[0070] The following briefly describes some beneficial effects of the above embodiment of the present application.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application provides a mesh belt conveyor that is easy to clean. It uses a frame plate to isolate the motor from the mesh belt and the products thereon, so that the motor is not easily contaminated with the mesh belt and the products transported thereon during operation, and the cleaning difficulty of the mesh belt conveyor can also be reduced. Using a synchronous belt pulley as the transmission component can make the power transmission process more stable. The mesh belt conveyor arranges connection blocks of the fuselage plate and the like inside the fuselage plate, which can reduce the external connection structure of the mesh belt conveyor and make the mesh belt conveyor easier to clean.

[0072] It can be understood that in the present application, when the number of components or members is not particularly limited, the number can be one or more, and here "more than one" means two or more. For the case where the number of components or members shown in the drawings and / or described in the specification is a specific number such as two, three, four, etc., this specific number is usually exemplary rather than restrictive, and it can be understood as more than one, that is, two or more. However, this does not mean that the present application excludes the case of one.

[0073] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary and are not used to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the above embodiments under the teaching of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application.
