Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation turnover, in particular to a connection device between an elevator and a main rail of a conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] During logistics transportation or warehousing transportation, material racks that can flow are usually set up and operated at various locations in the factory. In order to improve the convenience of logistics operation and to improve transportation efficiency and convenience, conveyor belts are usually set up to transport products. However, such conveyor belts will occupy a large amount of workshop space.

[0003] In order to save space under the existing technology, a frame is usually set up on the top of the workshop to suspend the materials, and the materials are sent in and out through an elevator. Since the elevator can only cooperate with a single track, the materials it transports are also relatively simple. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the elevator in the prior art can only cooperate with a single track and therefore the material it can transport is also relatively single, the present application provides a device for connecting the elevator with the main track of the conveyor line, and the specific solution is as follows.

[0005] A device for connecting an elevator and a conveyor line main rail includes an elevator body, a lifting frame is provided on the elevator body, the lifting frame slides along the vertical direction of the elevator body, a guide rail is provided on the lifting frame, the guide rail is used to align with the conveyor line main rail, a sliding groove identical to the conveyor line main rail is provided on the guide rail, a trolley mechanism is slidably connected in the sliding groove, a material rack is detachably provided on the trolley mechanism, the material rack is used to hang materials, and the trolley mechanism can slide along the sliding groove.

[0006] By implementing this technical solution, a seamless connection between the elevator and the conveyor rail is achieved, ensuring smooth material transfer between different heights. The lift frame slides vertically along the elevator body, allowing the trolley mechanism to flexibly adjust its height to align with different conveyor rail positions. The design of the guide rails and sliding grooves ensures the stability and precision of the trolley mechanism. Furthermore, the detachable material rack on the trolley mechanism can accommodate a variety of material racks, enabling the transport of materials of different sizes and types.

[0007] Optionally, the trolley mechanism includes a sliding frame, the sliding frame is provided with sliding wheels, the sliding wheels are embedded in sliding grooves, and the material rack is detachably connected to the lower part of the sliding frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding frame is provided and connected via sliding wheels, allowing the cart mechanism to slide smoothly within the sliding groove, improving the stability and efficiency of material transportation. The material rack is detachably connected to the bottom of the sliding frame, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0009] Optionally, a drive motor is further provided on the sliding frame, and the drive motor is used to drive the sliding wheel to rotate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor can effectively drive the sliding wheel to rotate, thereby achieving smooth movement of the cart mechanism along the sliding groove, and improving the efficiency and reliability of material transportation.

[0011] Optionally, a right-angle reducer is further provided on the sliding frame, the input shaft of the right-angle reducer is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and the output shaft of the right-angle reducer is transmission-connected to the sliding wheel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a right-angle reducer, the motor can be installed in close contact with the sliding frame, reducing the situation where the motor extends too long to form interference, and further improving the installation efficiency.

[0013] Optionally, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the guide rail in the length direction, corresponding sliding wheels are provided in the sliding grooves, and driving motors are also provided on both sides of the guide rail in the length direction corresponding to the sliding wheels.

[0014] By adopting this technical solution, sliding grooves and corresponding sliding wheels are provided on both sides of the guide rail in the longitudinal direction, ensuring the smooth operation of the pusher mechanism on the guide rail and improving the stability of the transportation process. At the same time, the installation of drive motors on both sides of the guide rail can achieve bidirectional drive, enhancing the dynamic performance of the pusher mechanism and further improving transportation efficiency and reliability.

[0015] Optionally, the shape and size of the guide rail are the same as those of the main rail of the conveyor line.

[0016] By adopting this technical solution, the guide rail has the same shape and size as the conveyor line main rail, ensuring seamless connection between the two. This improves stability and reliability during material transfer and reduces misalignment and jamming during material transfer. Furthermore, this design makes the guide rail structurally more compatible with the conveyor line main rail, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0017] Optionally, a conveying chain identical to that in the main rail of the conveyor line is also provided in the guide rail, and the conveying chain is used to abut against the trolley mechanism.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the same conveyor chain as that in the main rail of the conveyor line is set inside the guide rail, which can ensure that the trolley mechanism is more stable and reliable during the sliding process, reduce the friction during the sliding process, and improve the efficiency and safety of material transmission.

[0019] Optionally, the material rack is arranged at a right angle, and one right-angle side of the material rack is detachably connected to the trolley mechanism.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the material rack arranged at right angles makes it easier for workers to hang materials, further improving the convenience of use.

[0021] Optionally, a limiting protrusion is provided on a right-angled side of the material rack away from the material rack, and the limiting protrusion is provided on one end of the right-angled side away from the other right-angled side.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting protrusion is located on the end of the right-angled side away from the other right-angled side, which effectively prevents the material from shifting or falling off during transportation and improves the safety and stability of transportation.

[0023] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present application solves the problem in the prior art that the elevator can only transport a single material due to the single track it can match. The present application sets up a detachable material rack, so even if it corresponds to a single track, different material racks can be replaced to transport different materials.

[0025] 2. This application sets the same guide rails and sliding grooves as the main rails of the conveyor line on the lifting frame, so that the trolley mechanism can slide smoothly along the sliding grooves, thereby achieving efficient docking between the elevator and the main rails of the conveyor line, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of material transfer.

[0034] The present application is further described below in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] A device for connecting an elevator to a main rail of a conveyor line, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes an elevator body 1, on which is provided a lifting frame 2, which slides in the vertical direction of the elevator body 1, and on which is provided a guide rail 3, which is used to align with the main rail of the conveyor line. The guide rail 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31 identical to the main rail of the conveyor line, and a trolley mechanism 4 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 31. The trolley mechanism 4 is detachably provided with a material rack 5, which is used to hang materials, and the trolley mechanism 4 can slide along the sliding groove 31. In specific implementation, a linear mechanism is provided on the elevator body 1, and the lifting frame 2 slides under the drive of the linear mechanism. There can be multiple main rails of the conveyor line, which are set at multiple heights and transport different materials respectively. The guide rail 3 can fit different materials during movement, thereby transporting the material rack 5 on the trolley mechanism 4 to different main rails of the conveyor line for transportation.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pusher mechanism 4 includes a sliding frame 41, on which a sliding wheel 42 is provided. The sliding wheel 42 is embedded in the sliding groove 31, and the material rack 5 is detachably connected to the lower part of the sliding frame 41. In a specific implementation, the sliding wheel 42 can move in the sliding groove 31 or on the corresponding main rail of the conveyor line.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the carriage 41 is also provided with a drive motor 43 for rotating the sliding wheel 42. A right-angle reducer 44 is also provided on the carriage 41. The input shaft of the right-angle reducer 44 is in driving connection with the rotating shaft of the motor, while the output shaft of the right-angle reducer 44 is in driving connection with the sliding wheel 42. In a specific implementation, the drive motor 43 can be mounted flush with the carriage 41, and the right-angle reducer 44 can be used to change the driving direction, thereby reducing the possibility of the drive motor 43 extending too far and interfering with other equipment.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, sliding grooves 31 are provided on both sides of the guide rail 3 in the longitudinal direction, and corresponding sliding wheels 42 are provided in the sliding grooves 31. Drive motors 43 are also provided on both sides of the guide rail 3 in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the sliding wheels 42. In a specific implementation, the sliding grooves 31 are provided on the upper side of the guide rail 3, and the sliding grooves 31 on the main rail of the conveyor line can communicate with the sliding grooves 31 on the guide rail 3 to achieve transfer.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shape and size of the guide rail 3 are identical to the main rail of the conveyor line. During specific implementation, the length of the main rail of the conveyor line is longer. When overlapping, the guide rail 3 with the same shape and size is easier to be seamlessly connected with the main rail of the conveyor line.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conveying chain 32 identical to that in the main rail of the conveyor line is also provided in the guide rail 3, and the conveying chain 32 is used to abut against the trolley mechanism 4. In specific implementation, the conveying chain 32 can reduce the friction force when the trolley mechanism 4 moves to a certain extent, thereby further improving the conveying effect.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material rack 5 is arranged at a right angle, with one of its sides detachably connected to the trolley mechanism 4. A stopper protrusion 51 is provided on one of the sides of the material rack 5, distal from the other side. The stopper protrusion 51 is located at the end of the side distal from the other side. In practice, the size and dimensions of the material rack 5 can be adjusted based on the type and size of the material. In other embodiments, the material rack 5 can be further replaced to further expand the variety of materials transported.

[0042] Working principle: The material is hung on the material rack 5, and then the product can be transported by aligning the guide rail 3 with the main rail of the conveyor line, thereby transferring the material to the main rail of the conveyor line for transfer.

[0043] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
