Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a conveying device for conveying materials, in particular to a whole-row conveying device for preventing the head and tail of materials from being interlocked. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, slender parts S, such as screws, are typically arranged and conveyed on a vibrating plate P. Parts S lie flat on the plate P and then connect to a similarly horizontal conveyor track F. During the conveying process, the parts S are subjected to vibrations, which can cause the ends of the parts to interlock or otherwise become locked, such as when the inner and outer threads of two stud screws interlock. Once this occurs, manual removal and separation is necessary, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the head and tail of the existing materials are interlocked during transportation, and to provide a whole-row conveying device which can prevent the head and tail of the materials from being interlocked.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other purposes, the present invention proposes a whole-row conveying equipment that prevents the head and tail of materials from interlocking, which includes: a first conveyor belt module, which conveys the lying material in a manner along the axial direction of the material; a feeding module, which is configured to supply the material toward the first conveyor belt module; a steering module, which is arranged downstream of the first conveyor belt module, and is used to turn the lying material into an upright one; and a second conveyor belt module, which is used to convey the upright material, and the second conveyor belt module includes a conveying mechanism and a sorting mechanism, the conveying mechanism is arranged downstream of the steering module, and the sorting mechanism is arranged above the conveying mechanism, and the sorting mechanism is configured to only allow the conveying mechanism to convey upright materials in a specific direction.

[0005] Optionally, the feeding module is configured to supply the material toward the first conveyor belt module in a manner perpendicular to the axial direction of the material.

[0006] Optionally, the feeding module includes a push-plate feeding mechanism and an inclined guide plate.

[0007] Optionally, the first conveyor belt module and the conveying mechanism have a height difference, the steering module is in an inverted L-shape, and the openings at both ends of the inverted L-shape are respectively connected to the first conveyor belt module and the conveying mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, the sorting mechanism includes two guide members parallel to the conveying mechanism, the two guide members face each other, and the distance between the two guide members changes to match the upright material pieces in the specific orientation.

[0009] Optionally, a return module is further included, and the sorting mechanism has a guide port to guide materials with non-specific orientations into the return module, and the return module returns the materials to the feeding module.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes a detection module and a discharge module. The detection module is arranged toward the second conveyor belt module. The discharge module signal is connected to the detection module, and unqualified parts are eliminated based on the detection results of the detection module.

[0011] In this way, the arranging and conveying equipment of the present invention that prevents the head and tail of materials from interlocking can rearrange the materials into a single orientation and keep them upright.

[0037] In order to fully understand the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through the following specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the present invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the utility model points of the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. The following embodiments will further explain the relevant technical content of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the claims of the present invention. Explanation is as follows:

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the whole-row conveying equipment 100 for preventing the head-to-tail interlocking of material parts according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first conveyor belt module 1 , a feeding module 2 , a steering module 3 and a second conveyor belt module 4 .

[0039] The first conveyor belt module 1 conveys the lying material S in the axial direction of the material S. The first conveyor belt module 1 is, for example, a conveyor belt (with a power component such as a motor not shown), which conveys the material S in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Due to the characteristics of the slender material S, when it is not clamped by external force and is subjected to factors such as gravity and vibration, it will naturally be conveyed by the first conveyor belt module 1 in a lying manner rather than an upright manner. The material S may be arranged with the head and tail in the same direction, or it may be arranged with mixed reverse directions (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0040] The feeding module 2 is configured to supply the material S toward the first conveyor belt module 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, the feeding module 2 is configured to supply the material S toward the first conveyor belt module 1 in a manner perpendicular to the axial direction of the material S. In other words, the feeding module 2 also provides the material S to the first conveyor belt module 1 in a manner that allows the material S to lie flat, but in the direction of travel of the feeding module 2 (e.g. Figure 2 As shown by the arrow, the material S is perpendicular to the axial direction of the material S. This makes it difficult for the head and tail of the two materials S to be interlocked. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the feeding module 2 can supply the material S to the first conveyor belt module 1 in other ways.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the steering module 3 is arranged downstream of the first conveyor belt module 1 and is used to turn the flat material S to an upright position. The steering module 3 can have various forms, and any mechanism that can turn the flat material S to an upright position belongs to the steering module 3 of the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second conveyor belt module 4 is used to convey upright materials S. The second conveyor belt module 4 includes a conveying mechanism 41 and a sorting mechanism 42. The conveying mechanism 41 is arranged downstream of the steering module 3, for example, a conveyor belt with a power component, and conveys the materials S in the direction of the arrow in the figure. The sorting mechanism 42 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 41 and is configured to only allow the conveying mechanism 41 to convey upright materials S in a specific direction. Preferably, as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 42 includes two guides parallel to the conveying mechanism 41. The two guides face each other, and the spacing between them varies to match the specific orientation of the upright materials S described above. For example, if the conveying mechanism 41 is configured to only allow materials S with their heads facing downward and their tails facing upward, the spacing between the two guides is larger near the bottom to accommodate the heads of the materials S, while the spacing above is narrower to accommodate the tails of the materials S, thereby blocking the passage of materials S with their heads facing upward. In other words, the matching spacing between the two guides allows materials S with a specific orientation to pass through, while materials S with other orientations are not allowed to pass through. The materials S that pass through can continue to be conveyed by the conveying mechanism 41, and the two guides clamp the upright materials during conveyance to prevent them from falling. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The sorting mechanism 42 may have other configurations. Any mechanism that can screen materials S and allow the passage of materials S with a specific orientation falls within the scope of the sorting mechanism 42 of the present invention.

[0043] In summary, the material S is rearranged into a single orientation and maintained upright through the anti-interlocking head-to-tail material conveying equipment 100 of the present invention. During and after the rearrangement process, the head-to-tail collision between the two material parts S can be minimized to avoid interlocking. The material S can be directly used in subsequent processing steps, reducing manual sorting time and improving production efficiency.

[0044] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the feed module 2 includes a push-plate feed mechanism 21 and inclined guide plate groups 22, 23, and 24. The push-plate feed mechanism 21 pushes the material S to the top of the first conveyor belt module 1. The inclined guide plate groups 22 and 23 guide the material S to move flat toward the first conveyor belt module 1. The inclined guide plate group 24 prevents the material S from falling out on the other side.

[0045] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first conveyor belt module 1 and the conveying mechanism 41 have a height difference, and the diverting module 3 is in an inverted L-shape, with the openings at both ends of the inverted L-shape connecting to the first conveyor belt module 1 and the conveying mechanism 41, respectively. The upstream opening of the inverted L-shaped diverting module 3 faces the first conveyor belt module 1, allowing the entry of flat materials S. The materials S follow the inverted L-shape and turn 90 degrees within the diverting module 3, becoming upright, exiting the diverting module 3 and entering the conveying mechanism 41. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of the diverting module 3 can be modified as needed.

[0046] Ideally, if the material S transported by the first conveyor belt module 1 is head-facing forward, it can be converted into an upright state with its head downward by the steering module 3 and be transported as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sorting mechanism 42 clamps the material S and conveys it to the downstream through the conveying mechanism 41. However, if the material S conveyed by the first conveyor belt module 1 is with the head facing backward and the tail facing forward, Figure 5 As shown, the material S is in an upright state with its head facing upward after passing through the steering module 3 and cannot pass through the sorting mechanism 42. At this time, the material S that cannot pass through the sorting mechanism 42 can be returned to the feeding module 2 through the return module 5. In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 42 has a guide port 421 to guide the material S of non-specific orientation (that is, the material S that cannot pass through the sorting mechanism 42) into the return module 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific method of guiding the material S of non-specific orientation of the sorting mechanism 42 can be changed as needed. In this embodiment, the return module 5 is in the shape of an inclined inverted plate, which can collect and transport the material S to the bottom of the push-plate feeding mechanism 21. The material S then re-enters the first conveyor belt module 1 through the push-plate feeding mechanism 21.

[0047] Further, if Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the whole-row conveying device 100 for preventing the head-to-tail interlocking of materials further includes a detection module 6 and a discharge module 7. The detection module 6 has a camera lens, which is arranged toward the second conveyor belt module 4 and optically detects the appearance of the material S. The discharge module 7 is connected to the detection module 6 by signal, and excludes unqualified material S based on the detection results of the detection module 6. In detail, the detection module 6 also has a component with logical judgment capability, such as a logic chip, which judges whether the material S is qualified (for example, whether the appearance is complete, whether the processing state is uniform, etc.) based on the image captured by the camera lens. If an unqualified material S is detected, the component with logical judgment capability sends a signal to the discharge module 7 to exclude the unqualified material S. The discharge module 7 is, for example, a blowing module or a pushing module, which is used to blow or push specific material S off the second conveyor belt module, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0048] The present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that any equivalent variations and substitutions to the embodiments are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the claims.
