[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a tile steering device, including a conveyor line 1 and a steering assembly 2; the conveyor line 1 is used to convey tiles 3, and the steering assembly 2 is arranged on the side of the conveyor line 1; the steering assembly 2 includes a steering platform 21 and a steering wheel group arranged on the steering platform 21, and the steering wheel group includes a forward stop wheel group 22, a corner stop wheel 23 and a side stop wheel group 24; the forward stop wheel group 22, the corner stop wheel 23 and the side stop wheel group 24 are arranged in an L-shaped structure, wherein the corner stop wheel 23 is located at the corner of the L-shaped structure, and the forward stop wheel group 22 and the side stop wheel group 24 are respectively located on the two sides of the L-shaped structure.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the conveyor line 1 is used to receive the tiles 3 conveyed from the previous process and drive the tiles 3 forward. When the conveyor line 1 is set, its position is biased to the side, so that when the tiles 3 enter the conveyor line 1, the center line of the tiles 3 is not on the center line of the conveyor line 1, but biased to one side, so that the tiles 3 can turn in the next conveying process. The turning platform 21 is set next to the conveyor line 1. The turning platform 21 is provided with a forward stop wheel group 22, a corner stop wheel 23 and a side stop wheel group 24. The forward stop wheel group 22 is set toward the incoming direction of the tiles 3 and is used to block the front side of the tiles 3 at the first time. The corner stop wheel 23 is used to guide the tiles 3 to turn. The side stop wheel group 24 provides support and guidance for the side side of the tiles 3 after the tiles 3 turn, so that the tiles 3 after turning can be transported smoothly along the forward direction of the conveyor line 1.

[0025] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 The tile 3 enters from one end of the conveyor line 1 and moves forward driven by the conveyor line 1. When it moves to the turning platform 21, the front of the tile 3 contacts and is blocked by the forward stop wheel group 22 and the corner stop wheel 23. The conveyor line 1 continues to act on the bottom of the tile 3, causing the tile 3 to rotate with its contact surface with the corner stop wheel 23 as the center. During rotation, the front of the tile 3 rotates along the outer edge of the corner stop wheel 23, and then the front of the tile 3 turns to the side and abuts against the side stop wheel group 24, and is transported forward to the next process under the action of the conveyor line 1.

[0027] Preferably, the forward blocking wheel assembly 22 is fixedly mounted on the turning platform 21, while the corner blocking wheel assembly 23 and the side blocking wheel assembly 24 are adjustably mounted on the turning platform 21. In this embodiment, the forward blocking wheel assembly 22 is used to block the front of the tiles 3 and can be fixed in position. The corner blocking wheel assembly 23 and the side blocking wheel assembly are used to steer the tiles 3 and are adjustable in position to accommodate tiles 3 of varying sizes, providing greater adaptability and practicality.

[0028] Preferably, the corner stop wheel 23 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a roller 232. The lower portion of the rotating shaft 231 is connected to the turning platform 21. The rotating shaft 231 is provided with a pair of bearings 233. The roller 232 is connected to the rotating shaft 231 via the bearings 233. In this embodiment, the corner stop wheel 23 utilizes the cooperation of the rotating shaft 231, the bearings 233, and the roller 232, and utilizes the bearings 233 to improve the smoothness of rotation, thereby making the turning of the tile 3 smoother.

[0029] Preferably, the surface of the roller 232 is coated with a rubber layer or a silicone layer. In this embodiment, the surface of the roller 232 is provided with a soft material layer such as a rubber layer or a silicone layer. The soft material layer contacts the tiles 3, which can provide a certain buffer and reduce damage to the tiles 3.

[0030] Preferably, the forward blocking wheel set 22 includes at least two rollers arranged in parallel, and the side blocking wheel set 24 includes at least three rollers arranged in parallel.

[0031] Preferably, the turning platform 21 is provided with a sliding mechanism and an adjusting mechanism; the sliding mechanism includes a sliding platform and a pair of linear guide rails, the linear guide rails are provided with a slider seat, and the slider seat is connected to the sliding platform; the corner stop wheel 23 and the side stop wheel are provided on the sliding platform; the adjusting mechanism is connected to the sliding platform and can drive the sliding platform to move. In this embodiment, the corner stop wheel 23 and the side stop wheel are connected to the turning platform 21 through the sliding mechanism and the adjusting mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism directly acts on the sliding platform and drives the corner stop wheel 23 and the side stop wheel on the sliding platform to move along the length direction of the linear guide rail, so as to realize rapid adjustment of the position of the corner stop wheel 23 and the side stop wheel to adapt to the steering requirements of tiles 3 of different sizes, especially to enable the simultaneous processing of tiles 3 of multiple sizes on the assembly line.

[0032] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is any one of a manual screw mechanism, an electric screw mechanism, or a pneumatic cylinder mechanism. In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism can be any one of a manual screw mechanism, an electric screw mechanism, or a pneumatic cylinder mechanism. A manual screw mechanism can use a handwheel to drive a screw, which acts on a nut seat, and then uses the nut seat to drive the sliding table. An electric screw mechanism replaces manual operation with electric motor operation. A pneumatic rod mechanism can drive the sliding table by providing a cylinder on the rotating table, and providing a connecting rod on the piston rod of the cylinder to drive the sliding table.

[0033] Preferably, the conveyor line 1 includes an active roller 11, a driven roller 12, a driving mechanism 13, a first synchronous belt 14 and a second synchronous belt 15; the two ends of the active roller 11 are respectively provided with a first active pulley and a second active pulley, and the two ends of the driven roller 12 are respectively provided with a first driven pulley 16 and a second driven pulley 17, the first active pulley and the first driven pulley 16 are connected by the first synchronous belt 14, and the second active pulley and the second driven pulley 17 are connected by the second synchronous belt 15; the driving mechanism 13 is connected to the active roller 11 and drives the active roller 11 to rotate.

The entire transmission structure is simple and easy to maintain later. A gap is left between the first synchronous belt 14 and the second synchronous belt 15 to reduce the friction between the two synchronous belts and the bottom surface of the tile 3, facilitating the steering of the tile 3. During operation, the drive mechanism 13 drives the active roller 11, and the first driving wheel and the second driving wheel on the active roller 11 rotate synchronously. The first driving wheel acts on the first synchronous belt 14, and the second driving wheel acts on the second synchronous belt 15, thereby achieving synchronous operation of the two synchronous belts.

[0035] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 13 is a gear box transmission mechanism.

[0036] Preferably, tile guard plates are provided on both sides of the conveyor line 1, each end of which is closer to the direction in which the tiles 3 are fed. In this embodiment, by providing tile guard plates on both sides of the conveyor line 1, the plates guide the tiles 3 as they enter the conveyor line 1, maintaining a relatively stable position of the tiles 3 on the conveyor line 1 and reducing the risk of the tiles 3 falling off when turning. Furthermore, a guide bevel is provided on the front end of the tile guard plates, that is, the end closer to the direction in which the tiles 3 are fed, to facilitate the entry of the tiles 3 into the plates.

[0037] Preferably, the brick guard plate and the guide slope are respectively provided with pulleys. In this embodiment, pulleys are respectively installed on the brick guard plate and the guide slope, and the pulleys are utilized for guiding to avoid the situation of brick jamming during the guiding process.

[0038] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effect of the present invention is as follows: by providing a conveyor line, a forward stop wheel group, a corner stop wheel group, and a side stop wheel group, the present invention drives the tiles forward via the conveyor line and touches the forward stop wheel group and the corner stop wheel group during the forward movement. Under the action of the conveyor line, the tiles rotate along the edges of the corner stop wheel. After the rotation, the sides of the tiles are in contact with the side stop wheel group and move forward, thereby achieving the turning of the tiles. The present invention has a reasonable design and a simple structure. It not only effectively prevents the tiles from falling off, but also does not affect the travel speed of the tiles. It effectively improves the turning efficiency of the tiles. It does not require the provision of steering belts with different speeds, thus reducing equipment investment and subsequent maintenance costs.
