Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of conveying devices, and in particular to a conveying device. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production, conveyor belts play a vital role, transporting products from one process to another to ensure a smooth production process. However, traditional conveyor belts are unable to meet some complex requirements.

[0003] Traditional conveyor belts are often linear, making them incapable of flexible product diversion. For example, when a production line needs to distribute different types of products to different processing stages, a device that can divert product flow based on product type is required. Existing diversion solutions are often inefficient and cumbersome to operate, making them unable to meet growing production demands.

[0004] Traditional conveyor belts struggle to meet stringent product spacing requirements on some production lines. For example, during packaging, products must maintain a certain distance to ensure proper functioning of the packaging machine. Existing spacing control solutions often lack precision and cannot guarantee accurate control of product spacing.

[0005] For some production lines that do not allow accumulation and need to ensure a minimum distance between products, simply setting up diversion and spacing control cannot solve this problem.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a conveying device that can achieve flexible diversion and precise spacing control. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a conveying device includes a conveyor belt 1, a diverter device and a gap control device 3. The diverter device and the gap control device 3 are both arranged above the conveyor belt 1. The diverter device and the gap control device 3 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. Specifically, the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1 is Figure 1 In the direction from right to left, the diverter device is arranged on the right side of the gap control device 3.

[0034] For some production lines that cannot be stacked and need to ensure the minimum distance between products C, a combination of a diverter device and a gap control device 3 is used.

[0035] Furthermore, the diverter device has a diverter rocker 26 for guiding the moving direction of the product C, and the diverter rocker 26 can swing above the conveyor belt 1; the gap control device 3 has a blocking part 32 for controlling the distance between two adjacent products C, and the blocking part 32 can approach or move away from the conveyor belt 1.

[0036] Under normal circumstances, the diverter swing arm 26 does not move, and the product C will enter the corresponding transport channel. When it is detected that there are too many products C in the transport channel and further entry may cause accumulation, the diverter swing arm 26 swings to allow the product C to enter other transport channels. Figure 1 As shown, the number of transport channels is two.

[0037] There are multiple blocking parts 32 set in the same transport channel, and the multiple blocking parts 32 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the transport channel. After product C enters the transport channel, the blocking part 32 descends and presses against product C, so that product C cannot move with the conveyor belt 1 until the distance between the product C and the previous product C is greater than the set minimum spacing. Then the blocking part 32 rises and product C continues to move with the conveyor belt 1, so that the spacing between adjacent products C in the same transport channel is at least greater than the set minimum spacing.

[0038] The diversion device can flexibly divert product C to different transport channels based on the number of products C through the swing of the diversion rocker 26, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of products C in a single transport channel. When it detects that there are too many products C in a certain channel, the diversion rocker 26 will swing promptly to guide subsequent products C to other channels, ensuring that the number of products C in each channel is reasonable and preventing product C accumulation. The gap control device 3 can accurately control the distance between two adjacent products C through the coordinated operation of multiple blocking parts 32, ensuring that the set minimum spacing between products C is always maintained. When product C enters the transport channel, the blocking part 32 will descend to resist the product C, preventing it from moving with the conveyor belt 1. The blocking part 32 will not rise until the distance between the previous product C and the current product C is greater than the minimum spacing, allowing the current product C to continue moving. This precise spacing control can effectively prevent products C from colliding or accumulating during transportation, ensuring the safety of products C.

[0039] The swing direction of the diverter lever 26 and the height to which the blocking portion 32 descends can be adjusted based on actual production needs to accommodate the types, sizes, and spacing requirements of different products C. This flexibility enables the present application to be applied to a wider range of production lines, meeting the needs of diverse production scenarios. The present application is particularly suitable for production lines that do not allow for accumulation, such as electronic product C production lines, food production lines, and precision instrument production lines.

[0040] Compared to traditional mechanical diversion devices or fixed spacing control devices, this application uses a simple swing and movement control method, which is simpler in structure and lower in cost. Furthermore, precise spacing control can reduce product C loss and improve production efficiency. This device can effectively prevent product C from accumulating, ensure product C safety, improve production efficiency, and meet special production needs.

[0041] It is worth noting that a plurality of guide plates 4 are arranged above the conveyor belt 1 . The guide plates 4 are arranged along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1 . A transport channel is formed between two adjacent guide plates 4 . The transport channel gradually narrows along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 1 .

[0042] As the transport channel narrows, product C will gradually concentrate in the center of the channel, making it easier for the diversion device to identify and guide it. This centralized guidance method can effectively improve the diversion efficiency of product C and reduce the accumulation and misalignment of product C during the diversion process.

[0043] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the specific structure of the diverter device is shown. The diverter device also includes a first mounting frame 20. The first mounting frame 20 is fixed above the conveyor belt 1. One end of the diverter rocker arm 26 is swingably mounted on the first mounting frame 20.

[0044] The diversion device also includes a linear drive device 22 and a swing conversion device 2. One end of the linear drive device 22 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 20. Specifically, a drive device mounting portion 21 is mounted on the first mounting frame 20. The drive device mounting portion 21 is provided with a rotating shaft. One end of the linear drive device 22 is connected to the drive device mounting portion 21. One end of the linear drive device 22 swings around the rotating shaft. The other end of the linear drive device 22 is connected to the diversion rocker arm 26 through the swing conversion device 2.

[0045] The linear drive device 22 can be any device that can provide linear power, preferably any one of a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear assembly or a linear motor.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the swing conversion device 2 includes a rotating shaft 25 and a first component 24. The first component 24 includes a sleeve 241 sleeved on the rotating shaft 25 and a connecting rod 242 connected to the sleeve 241. One end of the connecting rod 242 is connected to the sleeve 241, and the other end of the connecting rod 242 is rotatably connected to the linear drive device 22. Specifically, a front end portion 23 of the drive device is provided on the other end of the linear drive device 22. The front end portion 23 of the drive device is used to be connected to the other end of the connecting rod 242. The diverter rocker arm 26 is connected to the rotating shaft 25.

[0047] During the swinging process, the linear drive device 22 extends or retracts, driving the first component 24 to rotate, and the first component 24 drives the rotating shaft 25 to rotate, thereby driving the rocker arm to swing. During this process, one end of the linear drive device 22 rotates around the rotating shaft, and rotation occurs between the front end portion 23 of the drive device at the other end of the linear drive device 22 and the connecting rod 242.

[0048] The extension or retraction of the linear drive 22 precisely controls the swing amplitude of the diverter lever 26, thereby achieving precise control over the diversion path of product C. By adjusting the extension or retraction distance of the linear drive 22, the swing angle of the diverter lever 26 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby flexibly adjusting the diversion direction of product C. This flexibility can meet the diversion needs of different production scenarios and improve the adaptability of the production line.

[0049] One end of the diverter rocker 26 is located in the middle of the width of the conveyor belt 1 to facilitate the conversion of the guiding direction.

[0050] like Figure 5 , which shows the specific structure of the gap control device 3 , the gap control device 3 includes a second mounting frame 30 , the second mounting frame 30 is fixed above the conveyor belt 1 , and the blocking portion 32 is provided on the second mounting frame 30 .

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the gap control device 3 also includes a cylinder, one end of which is mounted on the second mounting frame 30, the cylinder body of the cylinder is mounted on the second mounting frame 30, the piston rod of the cylinder is set toward the conveyor belt 1, and the piston rod of the cylinder forms a blocking portion 32. When the piston rod is extended, it blocks the product C. When the piston rod is retracted, the product C moves with the conveyor belt 1.

[0052] In another preferred embodiment, the blocking part 32 is connected to the rack and pinion mechanism, the gear is driven by a motor, and the rack is arranged perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1. The motor drives the gear and then controls the rack to move toward or away from the conveyor belt 1, and the blocking part 32 is connected to the rack, which can achieve blocking of product C.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The conveyor belt 1 is also equipped with a counter 6 and a sensor 31. The counter 6 is located on both sides of the diverter rocker 26 and is used to record the number of products C entering different conveying channels. Preferably, a photoelectric sensor, infrared sensor, or image recognition device with a counting function can be selected. The sensor 31 is located in front of the gap control device 3. Multiple blocking portions 32 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the conveying channel. There are also multiple sensors 31, each located in front of a blocking portion 32 to facilitate gap control.

[0054] Specifically, the sensor 31 is mounted on the sensor mounting portion 33 , and the sensor mounting portion 33 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 30 . A portion of the sensor mounting portion 33 is in contact with the cylinder to form support for the cylinder.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the conveying device further includes a base 5 and a power device for driving the conveyor belt 1 to operate. The conveyor belt 1 , the power device, the diverter device and the gap control device 3 are all installed on the base 5 .

[0056] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
