Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of production lines, in particular to a guardrail adjusting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Conveyor belts are widely used in production processes such as filling, packaging, and conveyor factories, where conveyor belts are used to transport products. Their guardrail width and pitch can be dynamically adjusted to meet actual production needs. Existing adjustment methods primarily rely on manual intervention, resulting in low automation and inefficiency. This inevitably leads to problems such as bottles or materials on the conveyor belt slipping, clogging, or tilting during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a guardrail adjusting mechanism.

[0004] A guardrail adjustment mechanism is applied to a conveyor belt of an assembly line and comprises: a hand wheel, a synchronous linkage mechanism, a connecting rod and a gear bracket;

[0005] There are multiple gear brackets, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the side guardrail of the conveyor belt of the assembly line; one end of the gear bracket is connected to the guardrail of the conveyor belt of the assembly line, and the other end of the gear bracket is connected to the adjacent gear bracket on the same side through the connecting rod;

[0006] The hand wheel is connected to the synchronous linkage mechanism, and the synchronous linkage mechanism is connected to any one of the gear brackets;

[0007] When the hand wheel is rotated, the synchronous linkage mechanism drives the gear bracket to adjust the distance between the side guardrails of the assembly line conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, it further comprises a coupling, which is provided on the gear bracket and is used to connect the connecting rods at both ends of a single gear bracket;

[0009] Preferably, the gear bracket includes a support portion, the support portion is provided with a cylindrical rack, and the cylindrical rack is connected to the guardrail of the assembly line conveyor belt;

[0010] Preferably, the coupling is arranged at 90° to the cylindrical rack;

[0011] Preferably, it further comprises a 90° bend mechanism and / or a 180° bend mechanism; the 90° bend mechanism is arranged at the 90° bend of the conveyor belt side guardrail of the assembly line, and the gear brackets on both sides of the 90° bend are respectively connected to the 90° bend mechanism; the 180° bend mechanism is arranged at the 180° bend of the conveyor belt side guardrail of the assembly line, and the gear brackets on both sides of the 180° bend are respectively connected to the 180° bend mechanism;

[0012] Preferably, universal joints are provided on the gear brackets on both sides of the 90° bend and / or the 180° bend, and the universal joints are used to be connected to the connecting rods at the gear brackets.

[0013] The utility model provides a guardrail adjustment mechanism, wherein a gear bracket, a connecting rod and a synchronous linkage mechanism jointly form a linkage structure on both sides of the side guardrails of the conveyor belt of an assembly line (the middle part of the guardrail is used to convey bottles or materials); the operator rotates a hand wheel to drive the synchronous linkage mechanism to work, which is transmitted by the connecting rod to the gear bracket, thereby adjusting the side guardrails of the conveyor belt of the assembly line to move inward or outward, so that the width and narrowness of the distance between the side guardrails of the conveyor belt of the assembly line can adapt to the actual needs of the conveyed items.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, this guardrail adjustment mechanism, once installed, eliminates the need to adjust the connecting rod spacing each time a material is switched, allowing for quick switching of the width of each section of the side guardrail. This also addresses issues such as uneven spacing between individual adjustment brackets, which can cause material conveying to skew, block, or become unsmooth during actual assembly line operations. Furthermore, the ability to adjust multiple gear brackets via a handwheel eliminates the time-consuming and inefficient manual adjustments, significantly improving automation and work efficiency while offering excellent adjustability and stability.

[0021] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a guardrail adjustment mechanism is provided, which is applied to an assembly line conveyor belt and includes a handwheel 1, a synchronous linkage mechanism 2, a connecting rod 3 and a gear bracket 4. Each component can be deployed in multiples according to actual needs.

[0023] The handwheel is connected to a synchronous linkage mechanism, which is in turn connected to any gear bracket. The gear brackets are connected via connecting rods. The gear brackets are positioned on either side of the conveyor belt side guardrails. During use, turning the handwheel causes the synchronous linkage mechanism to drive the gear brackets to adjust the distance between the conveyor belt side guardrails 7.

[0024] Specifically, one end of the gear bracket is connected to the guardrail of the conveyor belt, and the other end is connected to the adjacent gear bracket on the same side via a connecting rod. In one implementation, a coupling 5 is provided on the gear bracket to connect the connecting rods at both ends of a single gear bracket. Furthermore, the gear bracket includes a support portion 41, on which a cylindrical rack 42 is provided. The cylindrical rack is connected to the guardrail of the conveyor belt; preferably, the coupling is set at a 90-degree angle to the cylindrical rack. This means that the coupling and cylindrical rack enhance stability during adjustment.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a 90° bend mechanism 8 and / or a 180° bend mechanism 9; the 90° bend mechanism is set at the 90° bend of the conveyor belt guardrail, and the gear brackets on both sides of the 90° bend are respectively connected to the 90° bend mechanism; the 180° bend mechanism is set at the 180° bend of the conveyor belt guardrail, and the gear brackets on both sides of the 180° bend are respectively connected to the 180° bend mechanism. Figure 3 As shown, the 180° bending mechanism is formed by splicing two 90° bending mechanisms; the bending mechanism is used for arc-shaped telescopic bending, and can adjust the spacing of the side guardrails at the turning point.

[0026] Furthermore, universal joints 6 are provided on the gear brackets on both sides of the 90° bend and / or the 180° bend. The universal joints have a wide adjustment range and are convenient for connecting with the connecting rods at the gear brackets at the bends.

[0027] The above is an explanation of the technical solution of the present invention to help understand the present invention; however, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should be considered equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
