Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to a product orientation error prevention alarm mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a cleaning machine receives parts from the lower slide of the feed port and transports them to the cleaning chamber via a conveyor belt. However, during the conveyor belt transport of parts, there are problems such as parts not being cleaned thoroughly, parts colliding with the input or output port of the cleaning machine, and getting stuck.

[0003] The main cause of incomplete part cleaning is stacking. The lower slide at the inlet of the cleaning machine can cause parts to stack on top of each other as they slide onto the conveyor belt, often due to the presence of multiple rows of parts from previous processes or cycle time. These stacked parts enter the cleaning chamber, preventing them from being fully cleaned, creating quality risks.

[0004] The problem of parts colliding and getting stuck with the input or output of the cleaning machine is mainly caused by the parts being conveyed in an inclined state. In order to reduce the amount of water sprayed from the cleaning chamber remaining on the conveyor. Conveyors usually use a mesh conveyor belt with drainage holes to transport the parts to be cleaned. When the parts to be cleaned are in the shape of long strips or have long edges and corners, when the lower slide of the parts falls onto the conveyor belt, the parts will be stuck on the conveyor belt because the conveyor belt is meshed with drainage holes. If this situation is not discovered in time and the conveyor belt continues to run to the entrance of the cleaning chamber, due to the height limitation, the parts will be further inserted into the mesh of the conveyor belt after the collision, which will eventually cause the mesh of the conveyor belt to deform, and the operation will be stuck, causing the motor to overload and alarm and shut down. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a product orientation error prevention alarm mechanism to solve the technical problem of damage to the cleaning machine caused by products being stacked or inserted into a conveyor belt.

[0007] A product orientation error prevention alarm mechanism includes a mounting frame and an alarm mechanism arranged on the mounting frame;

[0008] The alarm mechanism includes a swinging member and a sensor. The swinging member is installed at the bottom end of the mounting frame and can swing relative to the mounting frame; the sensor is used to detect the swinging of the swinging member.

[0009] Furthermore, the swing member includes a baffle and a trigger rod. The trigger rod is fixed to the baffle. The inner end of the trigger rod is installed on the detection end of the sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, the sensor adopts a travel switch.

[0011] Furthermore, the device also includes a lifting and adjusting mechanism. The lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a slide rail and a slider. The mounting frame is slidably connected to the slide rail via the slider. The slider is provided with a locking member for locking the slider in position on the slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking member is a set screw. A threaded groove for installing the set screw is formed on the slider. The set screw is threadedly connected in the threaded groove.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outside", "upper", "inside", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a product orientation error prevention alarm mechanism is arranged at the input port of a product washing machine to prevent stacked products or products inserted into a conveyor belt from colliding with the input port or output port of the washing chamber during the process of entering or exiting the washing chamber, causing a jam. The mechanism includes a mounting frame 1, an alarm mechanism 2, and a lifting and adjusting mechanism 3.

[0022] The alarm mechanism 2 is used to detect the state of the transported products to prevent collisions with the cleaning machine due to product stacking or tilting. The lifting adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the height of the detection end of the alarm mechanism 2, so that the alarm mechanism 2 can adapt to products of different thicknesses and the corresponding cleaning machine requirements.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the alarm mechanism 2 includes a swing member 2-1 and a sensor 2-2. The swing member 2-1 is mounted at the bottom end of the mounting frame 1. The swing member 2-1 can swing relative to the mounting frame 1 when it comes into contact with stacked or tilted products. The sensor 2-2 is used to detect the swing member 2-1 swinging in the horizontal direction. When the sensor 2-2 detects the swing member 2-1 swinging, it transmits an alarm signal to the terminal. The terminal alerts the staff of the status of the products being transported on the cleaning machine and controls the cleaning machine to stop transporting.

[0024] Furthermore, swinging member 2-1 includes a baffle and a trigger lever. Two trigger levers are fixed to the edges of the baffle. The inner ends of the trigger levers are mounted on the contacts of sensor 2-2. Initially, the baffle is vertical. When stacked or tilted products come into contact with the baffle, they push the baffle and the trigger lever to swing, and sensor 2-2 detects the swing of the baffle. In this embodiment, sensor 2-2 is a travel switch or other control sensor.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the lifting and adjusting mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 3-1 and a slider 3-2. The mounting frame 1 is slidably connected to the slide rail 3-1 via the slider 3-2. The slider 3-2 is provided with an adjustment assembly for easy adjustment of the position of the slider 3-2, as well as a locking member 3-4 for locking the slider 3-2 in place on the slide rail 3-1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a lift adjustment member 3-3 and a rack. A mounting slot for the lift adjustment member 3-3 is defined on the slider 3-2. The inner end of the lift adjustment member 3-3 is inserted into the mounting slot and is rotatably connected thereto. The rack is bolted to the slide rail 3-1. A gear that mates with the rack is fixed to the end of the lift adjustment member 3-3. The gear and rack mesh.

[0027] Furthermore, the slider 3-2 is provided with a clearance slot that mates with the rack. The clearance slot is connected to the mounting slot. The inner end of the lift adjustment member 3-3 extends into the clearance slot. By rotating the lift adjustment member 3-3, the gear and rack are engaged, allowing the slider 3-2 to slide and adjust in the vertical direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the locking member 3-4 is a set screw. A threaded groove for installing the set screw is provided on the slider 3-2. The set screw is threadedly connected in the threaded groove. When it is necessary to lock the relative position of the slider 3-2 and the slide rail 3-1. By rotating the set screw inward. The set screw gradually moves inward until the inner end firmly rests against the side of the slide rail 3-1. Under the action of static friction, the relative position of the slider 3-2 and the slide rail 3-1 is locked, and then the height of the swinging member 2-1 in the vertical direction is locked. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the slider 3-2 on the slide rail 3-1, the set screw is rotated outward to unlock the relative position of the slider 3-2 and the slide rail 3-1.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
