Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar cell production, in particular to a novel roller conveyor. Background Art
[0002] Roller conveyors are a common type of conveying equipment that utilizes the rotation of multiple rollers to move materials from one location to another. They are suitable for the continuous transport of various flat objects. Roller conveyors typically consist of rollers, a frame, and a drive mechanism. They are widely used in industrial production lines due to their simple structure, easy maintenance, and high efficiency. However, in certain application scenarios, traditional roller conveyors have some technical shortcomings that make them difficult to meet the requirements of precision processes.
[0003] In existing technology, after solar silicon wafers undergo surface processing in the main machine, a roller rejection mechanism transfers the wafers to a roller conveyor, which then transports them to the next process. However, existing roller conveyor mechanisms have the following design flaws: 1. Existing conveyors use a top-down locking method for the side panels and bottom plate, which is inconvenient during installation and difficult to disassemble for later maintenance; 2. The design of independent rollers increases the machining and assembly precision requirements for parts. At the same time, due to the small contact area between the rollers and the silicon wafers, the silicon wafers are prone to bending during conveyance and may even slip, affecting conveying quality; 3. Due to the large number of rollers, assembly consumes a significant amount of time, increasing labor costs. During debugging, silicon wafers are also prone to slipping, and the cause of this phenomenon is difficult to identify. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a new type of roller conveyor, including a conveying mechanism 100, which is mainly composed of a base plate 101, a support plate 102, a long bottom plate 103, a split vertical plate 104, a conveying assembly 105, a power assembly 106 and a transmission assembly 107, forming a stable and compact structural layout. The conveying assembly 105 is installed between every two split vertical plates 104, and through the cooperation of multiple sets of turntables 105a and conveying rollers 105b, a smooth transmission of materials is achieved. The power assembly 106 is composed of a stepping motor 106a and a driving shaft 106c, which provides continuous driving force and drives the conveying assembly to operate efficiently. The transmission assembly 107 ensures the transmission of power and belt tensioning through the combination of the driving wheel 107a, the guide wheel 107b, the guide wheel 2 107c, the driven wheel 107d, the tensioning wheel 107e and the belt 107f. A mounting block 109 is provided at the top of the long bottom plate 103 , on which a cylindrical capacitor cabinet 110 is mounted, thereby further optimizing the space utilization of the equipment and improving the overall performance.
[0028] Specifically, the conveyor assembly 105 comprises multiple sets of turntables 105a rotatably connected to the inner sides of two split vertical plates 104. The turntables 105a primarily serve as the rotating support structure of the conveyor system, their rotation driving the conveyor rollers, thereby ensuring stable transport of silicon wafers or other materials. Conveyor rollers 105b are fixedly mounted between each set of turntables 105a. These conveyor rollers 105b are used to carry and convey materials. Multiple conveyor rollers 105b are installed in a row between each pair of split vertical plates 104, ensuring stable material transport and preventing deviation or tilting.
[0029] Furthermore, a mounting plate 108 is fixedly mounted on the rightmost side of the top of the elongated base plate 103. This plate provides a stable support base for the power assembly 106, ensuring safe and reliable installation of the power system. Power assembly 106 includes a stepper motor 106a fixedly mounted on the outside of mounting plate 108. As the conveyor's core power source, stepper motor 106a provides continuous mechanical power to drive the entire conveyor system. By adjusting its speed and direction, the stepper motor controls the speed and direction of material transport, ensuring efficient operation of the system.
[0030] The power assembly 106 also includes a bearing seat 106b fixedly mounted on the right end of the leftmost split vertical plate 104. The function of the bearing seat 106b is to support the drive shaft 106c and ensure its smooth rotation during operation, reducing friction and wear. The output end of the stepper motor 106a is connected to the drive shaft 106c via a coupling. The coupling is used to connect the motor and the drive shaft to achieve smooth power transmission. The left end of the drive shaft 106c passes through multiple split vertical plates 104 and extends into the bearing seat 106b. The drive shaft drives the various components in the transmission system to achieve efficient operation of the entire conveying system, ensuring smooth material transfer and reliable operation of the equipment.
[0031] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 107 includes multiple wheels rotatably connected to the right side wall of the split vertical plate 104: a driving wheel 107a, a guide wheel 107b, a guide wheel 2 107c, a driven wheel 107d, and a tensioning wheel 107e. The driving wheel 107a is the core of the transmission system, fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the driving shaft 106c. It receives power from the driving shaft and transmits it to the belt 107f. The guide wheels 107b and 107c guide the path of the belt 107f, maintaining a stable trajectory during transmission and preventing derailment or deviation. The tensioning wheel 107e adjusts the belt tension to ensure that the belt does not sag during operation, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the transmission system. The driven wheel 107d is arranged on the same horizontal axis as the turntable 105a. It primarily receives power from the belt 107f and is fixedly connected to the turntable 105a via a rotating shaft. It transmits the power to the conveyor roller 105b, propelling the material forward smoothly during transportation.
[0032] It should be noted that a belt 107f is wrapped around the outer surfaces of the driving pulley 107a, guide pulley 107b, guide pulley 2 107c, driven pulley 107d, and tensioner pulley 107e. Belt 107f serves as a transmission medium, connecting the various pulleys and transferring power from the driving pulley to the driven pulley, thereby driving the conveyor rollers to achieve continuous material conveyance. The belt design ensures smooth and efficient transmission, and the combination of the guide pulleys and tensioner pulleys maintains the accuracy of the transmission path and operational stability.
[0033] Furthermore, mounting blocks 109 are fixedly mounted at the top of the long base plate 103, between each of the two split vertical panels 104. These provide additional support for the equipment's structure and a foundation for mounting other components. A cylindrical capacitor cabinet 110 is mounted atop each mounting block 109. Its primary function is to store and regulate electrical energy, providing a stable power supply for the transmission system and ensuring that voltage fluctuations during operation are not detrimental to the equipment's efficiency. Furthermore, the cabinet's compact design improves the utilization of the equipment's internal space, making the entire conveying system more compact and efficient.
[0034] Working Principle: Stepper motor 106a transmits power to driving shaft 106c via a coupling. Driving shaft 106c passes through multiple split vertical plates 104 and drives the driving pulley 107a fixed thereto to rotate. Driving pulley 107a transmits power to driven pulley 107d via belt 107f. Belt 107f is wrapped around guide pulleys 107b and 107c to ensure the stability of the belt's travel path. Tensioner 107e adjusts the tension of belt 107f to ensure proper belt tension during operation. Driven pulley 107d is fixedly connected to turntable 105a, and the power transmitted by the belt drives the turntable 105a to rotate. The rotation of turntable 105a drives the synchronous rotation of conveyor rollers 105b. Multiple conveyor rollers 105b are arranged between the split vertical plates 104 to form a column for carrying and conveying materials. Through the continuous rotation of the conveying roller 105b, the material can be stably transported to the target location. In addition, the mounting block 109 provides an installation base for each component, and the cylindrical capacitor cabinet 110 is used to store and regulate electrical energy to ensure the stability of the power supply of the equipment during the entire operation process.
