Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automated conveying equipment, in particular to a multi-line independent conveyor. Background Art

[0002] In the automated production process, conveyors are usually required to transfer products from one process to the next for further processing.

[0003] To improve production efficiency, some manufacturers now use multiple machines to produce products simultaneously. Each machine transports products to the next process via a separate conveyor belt. However, when multiple conveyor belts are operating simultaneously, products can easily become cluttered and piled up in the next process. The current solution is to install trumpet-shaped guide channels at the output ends of the conveyor belts. These channels allow products to converge and be discharged one by one in an orderly manner. However, in practice, multiple conveyor belts operating simultaneously can cause excessive accumulation of products at the entrances of the guide channels, resulting in congestion. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the defects of the prior art and provides a multi-line independent conveyor, which can independently control each second conveyor belt to temporarily stop, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of products at the entrance of the guide channel and avoiding congestion.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The conveyor belt is connected to the conveyor belt by a plurality of traction rollers, and the traction rollers are connected to the conveyor belt by a plurality of traction rollers.

[0007] By setting a clutch assembly consisting of a swing arm, a tensioning roller and a driving unit, the swing arm is rotatably connected to the frame, and the tensioning roller is rotatably arranged at the upper end of the swing arm, and the rotation center line of the swing arm, the axis of the tensioning roller and the axis of the traction roller are parallel. When the driving unit drives the swing arm to rotate forward to tension the tensioning roller, the second conveyor belt is pressed against the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller, and the friction between the second conveyor belt and the traction roller is large. Under the drive of the rotating motor, the traction roller can drive the second conveyor belt to rotate and transport products; when the driving unit drives the swing arm to rotate reversely to loosen the tensioning roller, there is a gap between the second conveyor belt and the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller, and the friction between the second conveyor belt and the traction roller is small. Under the drive of the rotating motor, the traction roller idles relative to the second conveyor belt, causing the second conveyor belt to stop outputting products, thereby realizing independent control of the temporary stop of each second conveyor belt, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of products at the entrance of the guide channel and avoiding congestion.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the driving unit is a cylinder, the movable joint of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower end of the swing arm, and the cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame.

[0009] As a preferred solution, a mounting plate is provided on the frame, and the cylinder is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the cylinder is rotatably connected to a connecting seat, and the connecting seat is mounted on the mounting plate by a first screw.

The first screw passes through the long hole and the first connecting hole in sequence, so that the cylinder can be adjusted left and right and mounted on the mounting plate.

[0012] As a preferred solution, a guide block is provided on the connecting seat, and a guide groove extending in the left and right directions is provided on the mounting plate.

[0014] As a preferred solution, side plates are provided on both sides of the swing arm, a connecting shaft is provided on the frame, the side plates on the swing arm are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft, and the tensioning roller is rotatably connected to the side plates.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the side panel and the swing arm are integrally formed.

When the driving unit drives the swing arm to rotate forward to tension the tensioning roller, the second conveyor belt is pressed against the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller, and the friction between the second conveyor belt and the traction roller is large. Under the drive of the rotating motor, the traction roller can drive the second conveyor belt to rotate and convey the product; when the driving unit drives the swing arm to rotate reversely to loosen the tensioning roller, there is a gap between the second conveyor belt and the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller, and the friction between the second conveyor belt and the traction roller is small. Under the drive of the rotating motor, the traction roller idles relative to the second conveyor belt, causing the second conveyor belt to stop outputting products, thereby realizing independent control of the temporary stop of each second conveyor belt, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of products at the entrance of the guide channel and avoiding congestion.

When the drive unit 37 drives the swing arm 35 to rotate reversely so that the tensioning roller 36 loosens the second conveyor belt 33, the traction roller 32 idles relative to the second conveyor belt 33.

[0028] The driving unit 37 is a cylinder, and the movable joint 371 of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower end of the swing arm 35, and the cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame 10; by adopting the cylinder, the cylinder can easily control the rotation of the swing arm 35, so that the swing arm 35 drives the tensioning roller 36 to tighten or loosen the second conveyor belt 33 quickly and sensitively, and the cylinder structure is simple and low in cost, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the entire equipment.

[0029] The frame 10 is provided with a mounting plate 13 , and the cylinder is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 13 .

[0030] The cylinder is rotatably connected to a connecting seat 372 , and the connecting seat 372 is mounted on the mounting plate 13 via a first screw (not shown).

[0031] The connecting seat 372 is provided with a first connecting hole (not shown), and the mounting plate 13 is provided with a long hole 131 extending in the left and right directions. The first screw passes through the long hole 131 and the first connecting hole in sequence, so that the cylinder can be adjusted left and right and installed on the mounting plate 13. When adjusting, the connecting seat 372 is moved left and right to a suitable position, and then the connecting seat 372 is connected and fixed to the mounting plate 13 with the first screw; by setting the cylinder to be adjustable left and right and installed on the mounting plate 13, the installation position of the cylinder can be fine-tuned in the left and right directions, thereby improving the installation accuracy.

[0034] The left and right sides of the swing arm 35 are provided with side plates 36 , and the side plates 36 and the swing arm 35 are integrally formed. The frame 10 is provided with a connecting shaft 14 , and the side plates 36 on the swing arm 35 are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 14 , and the tensioning roller 36 is rotatably connected to the side plates 36 .

[0035] The working principle of the second conveyor belt 33 of the present invention is as follows: when the movable joint 371 of the cylinder is extended, the movable joint 371 drives the swing arm 35 to rotate clockwise, and the swing arm 35 drives the tensioning roller 36 to rotate clockwise. The tensioning roller 36 tensions the second conveyor belt 33, so that the second conveyor belt 33 is in close contact with the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller 32. Under the drive of the rotating motor 31, the traction roller 32 drives the second conveyor belt 33 to rotate, and the second conveyor belt 33 conveys the products to the guide channel 22;

[0036] When the movable joint 371 of the cylinder is retracted, the swing arm 35 rotates counterclockwise, the tensioning roller 36 releases the second conveyor belt 33, and the traction roller 32 idles relative to the second conveyor belt 33. At this time, the second conveyor belt 33 does not rotate.

[0037] In summary, the present invention is provided with a clutch assembly 34 consisting of a swing arm 35, a tensioning roller 36 and a drive unit 37. The swing arm 35 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The tensioning roller 36 is rotatably arranged at the upper end of the swing arm 35. The rotation center line of the swing arm 35, the axis of the tensioning roller 36 and the axis of the traction roller 32 are parallel. When the drive unit 37 drives the swing arm 35 to rotate forward so that the tensioning roller 36 tensions the second conveyor belt 33, the second conveyor belt 33 is close to the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller 32. The friction between the second conveyor belt 33 and the traction roller 32 is large. Under the drive of the rotating motor 31 The traction roller 32 can drive the second conveyor belt 33 to rotate and convey products; when the driving unit 37 drives the swing arm 35 to rotate in the opposite direction to make the tensioning roller 36 loosen the second conveyor belt 33, there is a gap between the second conveyor belt 33 and the circumferential outer surface of the traction roller 32, and the friction between the second conveyor belt 33 and the traction roller 32 is small. Under the drive of the rotating motor 31, the traction roller 32 idles relative to the second conveyor belt 33, causing the second conveyor belt 33 to stop outputting products, thereby realizing independent control of each second conveyor belt 33 to temporarily stop, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of products at the entrance of the guide channel 22 and avoiding congestion.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made to the above embodiments based on the technical practice of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
