[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the utility model discloses a rotatable roller conveyor, comprising a left fixed plate 1, a right fixed plate 2, a track 3, a roller group 4 and a driving module 5 for rotating the roller group 4. The material to be moved is placed on the roller and the driving module 5 is started to drive the roller group 4 to rotate, thereby moving the material from the front to the back. In addition, by aligning the collecting device with the rear side of the track 3, the material moving from the front side to the back of the track 3 can fall into the collecting device. The left fixed plate 1 and the right fixed plate 2 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the track 3 by bolts, integral molding, etc., and also include a mounting base 6. A rotating column 31 is protruding from the bottom of the track 3. The rotating column 31 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 6. A positioning ring 311 is fixedly installed on the rotating column 31 in the circumferential direction. A positioning plug 61 is protruding from the mounting base 6 on the rotating track of the positioning ring 311. The positioning ring 311 is provided with a plurality of positioning slots 3111 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the positioning ring 311 corresponding to the positioning plug 61, and the positioning plug 61 is inserted into one of the positioning slots 3111 and abuts against the positioning ring 311. Since the rotating column 31 is rotatably installed on the mounting base 6, one of the positioning slots 3111 on the positioning ring 311 in the circumferential direction of the rotating column 31 will cooperate with the positioning plug 61. Therefore, by making the positioning plug 61 cooperate with different positioning slots 3111 on the positioning ring 311, the rotating column 31 can be rotated to different positions and then fixed to the mounting base 6, that is, the rotation angle of the track 3 is determined so that it can cooperate with the collecting device rotated to different angles, so that the object moving from front to back can fall into the collecting device smoothly without the need to move the entire collecting device or the roller conveyor to adjust the position, thereby making the angle adjustment of the track 3 more convenient.
[0030] The positioning plug 61 is made of a deformable material such as rubber and includes a front limiting plug 611 located above the positioning ring 311, a rear limiting plug 612 and a positioning section 613 located in the positioning slot 3111. The positioning section 613 is provided with a matching groove 6131 running through it in the left and right directions. Due to the existence of the matching groove 6131, when the positioning plug 61 is inserted into the positioning slot 3111, the front limiting plug 611 and the rear limiting plug 612 will approach each other in the direction of the matching groove 6131 and pass through the positioning slot 3111 upwards. When the front limiting plug 611 and the rear limiting plug 612 pass through the positioning slot 3111, the front limiting plug 6 When the front and rear limit blocks 611 and 612 lose their force, they will recover and move away from the matching groove 6131, thereby achieving resistance against the positioning ring 311. When the rotating column 31 needs to be rotated, a force is applied to the front limit block 611 and the rear limit block 612 located above the positioning ring 311 to move toward the matching groove 6131 and then move the positioning ring 311 upward, so that the positioning block 61 can pass downward through the positioning slot 3111 and apply torque to the rotating column 31, and then move the positioning ring 311 downward, so that the positioning block 61 can cooperate with the positioning slots 3111 at different positions on the positioning ring 311, thereby adjusting and fixing the rotation angle of the track 3.
[0031] Preferably, preferably, the front limit plug 611 and the rear limit plug 612 are both triangular prism settings, the front end face of the front limit plug 611 is tilted from back to front from top to bottom, and the rear end face of the rear limit plug 612 is tilted from front to back from top to bottom. Since the front side of the front limit plug 611 is tilted from back to front from top to bottom and the rear side of the rear limit plug 612 is tilted from front to back from top to bottom, the front limit plug 611 and the rear limit plug 612 are both The triangular prism is configured to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Therefore, when the positioning block 61 is inserted into the positioning slot 3111, the top of the positioning block 61, i.e., the top of the front limit block 611 and the top of the rear limit block 612, will first enter the bottom of the positioning slot 3111. Therefore, the front limit block 611 and the rear limit block 612, which are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, enable the positioning block 61 to be aligned with the positioning slot 3111 more smoothly and then pass through the positioning slot 3111 upward toward the mating groove 6131 and pass over the positioning slot 3111.
[0032] The driving module 5 includes a motor 51, a first synchronous belt 52 and a second synchronous belt 53. The roller group 4 includes an active roller 41, a driven roller 42 and a matching roller 43. The left and right sides of the active roller 41 are respectively fixedly installed with a left gear 411 and a right gear 412 by means of a key connection or the like. The motor 51 and the left gear 411 are fixedly connected by means of a key connection or the like. A first matching gear 421 is provided on the left side of the driven roller 42. The first synchronous belt 52 is transmitted between the first matching gear 421 and the left gear 411. A second matching gear 431 is provided on the right side of the matching roller 43. The second synchronous belt 53 is transmitted between the right gear 412 and the second matching gear 431. Since the motor 51 is fixed to the left gear 411, the left gear 411 can be driven by starting the motor 51. , the active roller 41 fixed to the left gear 411 and the right gear 412 of the active roller 41 rotate. At this time, since the first synchronous belt 52 is transmitted between the first matching gear 421 and the left gear 411, the rotation of the left gear 411 can transmit the torque to the first matching gear 421 through the first synchronous belt 52, thereby driving the first matching gear 421 and the driven roller 42 to rotate. Similarly, the rotating right gear 412 at this time can transmit the torque to the second synchronous belt 53, thereby causing the second matching gear 431 and the matching rod fixed to the second matching gear 431 to rotate. In summary, after starting the motor 51, the active roller 41, the driven roller 42 and the matching rod can rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the object located on the front side of the track 3 to move from the matching rod toward the active roller 41 and the driven roller 42 side.
[0033] Among them, the roller group 4 also includes a front roller 44 and a rear roller 45, the front roller 44 is located in front of the mating roller 43 and is linked to the mating roller 43, the rear roller 45 is located behind the driven roller 42 and is linked to the driven roller 42, the track 3 includes a front limit plate 32 for preventing the front roller 44 from moving forward and a rear limit plate 33 for preventing the rear roller 45 from moving backward, 1. Since the front roller 44 is linked to the mating roller and the rear roller 45 is linked to the driven roller 42, after starting the motor 51, the front roller 44 and the rear roller 45 can be driven to rotate synchronously, thereby increasing the number of roller groups 4, thereby improving the stability of objects during transportation and can 1. Disperse the pressure of objects on individual rollers, thereby reducing the wear of each roller and extending the service life of the entire system. At the same time, more rollers can provide redundant support. Even if individual rollers fail, the normal transportation of objects can be maintained, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system; 2. Due to the presence of the front limit plate 32 and the rear limit plate 33, when the roller group 4 is installed on the track 3, the active roller 41, the driven roller 42, the matching rod, the front rotating roller 44 and the rear roller will not cross the front limit plate 32 and the rear limit plate 33 when rolling forward or backward, so that the roller group 4 can be stably located on the track 3, thereby facilitating the installation of the roller group 4 on the track 3.
[0034] In addition, the front and rear sides of the track 3 are respectively penetrated by a front drop groove 34 and a rear drop groove 35. The mounting base 6 is provided with a front collection drawer 62 corresponding to the front drop groove 34, and the mounting base 6 is provided with a rear collection drawer 63 corresponding to the rear drop groove 35. A handle 621 is fixedly installed on the front collection drawer 62 by bolts, welding, etc. The front collection drawer 62 and the rear collection drawer 63 are both slidably installed in the mounting base 6 along the left and right directions. If fragments of material fall off during the process of moving the object from the front side of the track 3 to the rear, If the debris falls, such as dust, metal particles, plastic particles, etc., these materials can be moved toward the front drop groove 34 and the rear drop groove 35. When these materials fall into the front drop groove 34 or the rear drop groove 35, they will fall downward into the front collection drawer 62 and the rear collection drawer 63. By taking the front collection drawer 62 and the rear collection drawer 63 out of the mounting base 6, these collected debris can be cleaned up, and the presence of the handle 621 can facilitate the front collection drawer 62 to slide back and forth relative to the mounting base 6.
[0035] Among them, the front collection drawer 62 includes a panel 622 located on the left side of the mounting base 6, and the mounting base 6 is protrudingly provided with a disassembly component 64 made of a material that is easy to deform. The disassembly component 64 is inserted into the panel 622 and controls the limiting section 641 that is against the panel 622. Since the limiting section 641 of the disassembly component 64 on the mounting base 6 will be against the panel 622, the front collection drawer 62 can be stably located on the mounting base 6 without the action of external force. After applying force to the limiting section 641 so that it can be separated from the panel 622, the front collection drawer 62 can be moved to the left and taken out, so that the collected fragments can be cleaned up.
[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
