Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of suspension chain conveyors, in particular to a suspension chain with material sorting function. Background Art
[0002] The full name of the catenary is suspension chain conveyor, also known as overhead conveyor, which is a type of conveyor. The suspension chain conveyor is a device that continuously transports materials in mid-air. The materials will run along the predetermined track when they are suspended, thereby achieving the conveying effect. However, the existing suspension chain conveyor still has some shortcomings. For example, it does not have the sorting function, which causes the conveyed materials to be uniformly transported to one location. This will not only increase the workload of subsequent staff, but also greatly affect the use effect of the suspension chain conveyor. For this reason, we propose a suspension chain with material sorting. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] The catenary with material sorting connects the industrial camera with a common logistics sorting control system. When the conveyed material passes by the industrial camera, the industrial camera will adjust its height up and down by extending and retracting the telescopic rod, thereby scanning the barcode on the outer packaging of the material, so that the background control system can classify and process the material according to the barcode information. The background control system can control the servo motor to rotate forward and reverse. When the servo motor rotates forward and reverse, it will drive the sorting plate to swing back and forth on the right side of the inner cavity of the guide rail. In this way, when the sorting plate rotates outward, the material hanging on the hook will be transported to the first guide rail, and when the sorting plate rotates inward, the material hanging on the hook will be transported to the second guide rail, so that the sorting effect can be achieved.

[0018] 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.
[0019] Example 1:
[0020] See also Figure 1-3 The lifting of the lifting device is to lift the lifting frame 2 and the lifting frame 3 up and down, so that the lifting equipment can be carried out smoothly. In order to shoot materials of different sizes, a mounting plate 11 is provided on the left side of the top of the front and rear ends of the guide rail 1. A lighting lamp 12 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 11. The lighting lamp 12 can provide sufficient lighting for the industrial camera 10 when the light is poor, so that it can shoot more clearly. A servo motor 13 is provided on the upper right side of the top of the guide rail 1. A motor shaft 15 is provided at the bottom of the servo motor 13. A sorting plate 16 is provided at the bottom of the motor shaft 15. The sorting plate 16 is located on the right side of the inner cavity of the guide rail 1. The right side of the rear end face of the guide rail 1 is connected to a guide rail 18, and the right side of the front end face of the guide rail 1 is connected to a guide rail 2 19. The servo motor 13 can drive the sorting plate 16 to rotate forward and reverse through the motor shaft 15, and the forward and reverse rotating sorting plate 16 has the effect of changing the direction in the right side of the inner cavity of the guide rail 1. When the sorting plate 16 rotates outward, the material hung on the hook 6 will be transported to the guide rail 1 18. When the sorting plate 16 rotates inward, the material hung on the hook 6 will be transported to the guide rail 2 19, so that the sorting effect can be achieved.
[0021] Among them, preferably, fixed brackets 14 are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the servo motor 13, and mounting blocks are provided at the bottom of the fixed brackets 14, and bolts are provided between the mounting blocks and the top of the guide rail 1. This arrangement can stably install the servo motor 13 on the top right side of the guide rail 1.
[0022] Preferably, the sorting plate 16 is configured as a rectangular plate, and rubber baffles 17 are provided on the left sides of the front and rear end surfaces of the sorting plate 16, and the rubber baffles 17 are configured as flexible rubber baffles. When the sorting plate 16 is moved by the drive of the servo motor 13, the provided rubber baffles 17 can not only reduce noise, but also reduce vibration, thereby preventing the sorting plate 16 from directly hitting the inner wall of the inner cavity of the guide rail 1.
[0023] Preferably, an observation window 20 corresponding to the position of the sorting plate 16 is provided on the top right side of the guide rail 1. The observation window 20 is located on the left side of the servo motor 13. The operation of the sorting plate 16 can be conveniently viewed through the observation window 20, so that problems can be discovered in time and maintenance can be carried out.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 , this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the right sides of the front and rear end surfaces of the guide rail 1 are fixedly welded to the guide rail 1 18 and the guide rail 2 19 respectively, and mounting holes are provided at equal distances on the tops of the guide rails 1, guide rail 1 18 and guide rail 2 19. Through the mounting holes, it is convenient to install a hanging bracket on the tops of the guide rails 1, guide rail 1 18 and guide rail 2 19, so that the guide rails 1, guide rail 1 18 and guide rail 2 19 can be suspended and installed; an external threaded connection block is provided on the right side of the top of the sorting plate 16, and a threaded connection block for connecting with the external thread is provided at the center of the bottom of the motor shaft 15. The top right side of the sorting plate 16 is connected to the bottom of the motor shaft 15 through a matching external threaded connecting block and a threaded hole. The cooperation between the external threaded connecting block and the threaded hole can facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly between the sorting plate 16 and the motor shaft 15; the lighting lamps 12 are all set to LED lighting lamps. LED lighting lamps have a long service life, are energy-saving and efficient, and are not easy to damage. The mounting plates 11 are all tilted inward by fifteen degrees. This setting allows the lighting lamps 12 to better illuminate the material area.
[0026] The electrical appliances mentioned in this article are all connected to an external power source through wires.
