[0019] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0020] Embodiment 1: As shown in Figure 1 and 2 , it includes a carbon steel welded frame 1. The front end 3, the middle end 4 and the rear end 5 of the line body are fixedly installed at the top of the carbon steel welded frame 1. The inner wall of the front end 3 of the line body is fixedly installed with a first bearing seat 16 by bolts. There are two first bearing seats 16 arranged front and rear. The active shaft part 8 is rotatably connected between the two bearing seats 16 through bearings. The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the rear end 5 of the line body are fixedly installed with second bearing seats by bolts in cooperation. The inner walls of the two second bearing seats are installed with the driven shaft part 9 through bearings in cooperation. The outer walls of the active shaft part 8 and the driven shaft part 9 are connected by sprockets to a stainless steel chain 12. There are four stainless steel chains 12. Two stainless steel chains 12 are in a group. The two stainless steel chains 12 cooperate to convey the insert 10. The insert presence / absence detection sensor 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the front end 3 of the line body. The insert missing material detection sensor 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the center position of the front end 3 of the line body.
[0021] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is: the front end 3 of the wire body, the middle end 4 of the wire body and the rear end 5 of the wire body are combined to form the entire wire body. By setting two stainless steel chains 12 as a group, it is convenient to use the two stainless steel chains 12 in combination to lift and convey the insert 10. By setting a movable and adjustable reduction motor 2 and a first bearing seat 16 for use in combination, it is convenient to adjust according to the length of the stainless steel chain 12, and it is convenient to adjust the tension of the stainless steel chain 12. The insert presence detection sensor 7 is IMB12-04BPSVU2K. When the insert presence detection sensor 7 detects that there is no product, it will trigger a signal so that the robot gripper will not perform a grabbing action. The insert shortage detection sensor 6 is GSE6-P1211. By setting the insert shortage detection sensor 6, it is used to issue an early warning when the number of inserts 10 on the surface of the stainless steel chain 12 is insufficient, and remind the operator to replenish the inserts 10 on the surface of the stainless steel chain 12 in time, thereby maintaining the sustainable operation of the equipment.
[0022] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first bearing seat 16 is fixed by bolts after the inner wall of the front end 3 of the line body can be slidably adjusted to the position, and the outer wall of the front end 3 of the line body is fixedly installed with the reduction motor 2 by bolts. The output shaft of the reduction motor 2 is connected to the outer wall of the driving shaft part 8 through a coupling transmission. The reduction motor 2 can adjust the installation position by moving with the first bearing seat 16. A wear-resistant strip is placed under the stainless steel chain 12. A protective cover (not marked in the figure) is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the reduction motor 2, and heat dissipation holes are opened on the surface of the protective cover.
[0023] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is: the wear-resistant strip is made of polyethylene, which has the functions of impact resistance, wear resistance, non-deformation, preventing the chain from falling, supporting and protecting the chain, etc. The wear-resistant strip is arranged to play a protective role between the stainless steel chain 12 and the front end 3, the middle end 4, and the rear end 5 of the wire body, thereby reducing the wear on the stainless steel chain 12.
[0024] Example 3: Figure 1 and Figure 2 Guide plates 11 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the front end 3, the middle end 4, and the rear end 5 of the wire body. The guide plates 11 are used to guide the inserts 10 during transportation. Support plates 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the front end 3, the middle end 4, and the rear end 5 of the wire body. The support plates 13 are used to support the stainless steel chain 12.
[0025] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By providing a supporting plate 13 to support the bottom of the stainless-steel chain 12, the stainless-steel chain 12 can be placed on the tops of the front end 3, the middle end 4, and the rear end 5 of the line body for rotation. By providing a guiding plate 11 to limit the lateral movement of the insert 10, the guiding plate plays a role in limiting and guiding the insert 10, and can limit the lateral movement of the product on the conveyor line, ensuring the conveying efficiency of the insert 10 and the position deviation during grasping.
[0026] Embodiment 4: As Figure 3 , fixed and movable casters 14 are installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the carbon steel welded frame 1, and foot cups 15 are fixedly installed at the bottoms of both ends of the carbon steel welded frame 1.
[0027] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The foot cups 15 installed at the bottom of the frame can fix the equipment, and the fixed and movable casters 14 can push the equipment. By installing the foot cups 15 to support the bottom of the carbon steel welded frame 1, the stability of the bottom of the carbon steel welded frame 1 can be improved during the operation of the equipment.
[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: When in use, those skilled in the art install the stainless-steel chain 12 on the outer walls of the sprockets (not marked in the figure) on the outer walls of the driving shaft part 8 and the driven shaft part 9. By sliding and adjusting the position of the first bearing block 16, the tension of the stainless-steel chain 12 is controlled and adjusted. Subsequently, the first bearing block 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the front end 3 of the line body through bolts. Then, the reduction motor 2 is fixedly installed on the front outer wall of the front end 3 of the line body through bolts, so that the output shaft of the reduction motor 2 is in transmission connection with the outer wall of the driving shaft part 8 through a coupling. By placing the insert 10 to be conveyed on the top of the stainless-steel chain 12, and by turning on the reduction motor 2, the reduction motor 2 can drive the driving shaft part 8 and the driven shaft part 9 to rotate synchronously. Under the action of the stainless-steel chain 12, the insert 10 is conveyed from the position of the rear end 5 of the line body to the position of the front end 3 of the line body. The insert presence / absence detection sensor 7 detects whether there is an insert 10 at the end of the top of the stainless-steel chain 12 near the front end 3 of the line body, so as to control the external grasping robot to grasp the insert 10 and complete the stamping and embedding construction of the insert 10 on the next production line. The insert shortage detection sensor 6 detects the number of inserts 10 on the top of the stainless-steel chain 12. When the number of inserts 10 on the top of the stainless-steel chain 12 is less than 6, the insert shortage detection sensor 6 is controlled to alarm, thereby reminding the operator to load the inserts 10 at the starting end of the stainless-steel chain 12 near the driven shaft part 9 to control the equipment to supply materials continuously.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
