[0025] Embodiment: A chain breakage detection device for a unstacking machine, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising a mounting plate 5, a movable plate 6, a detection sensor 9 and an elastic compression assembly.
[0026] The mounting plate 5 is fixed on the support frame 1, and the support frame 1 is used to install the rotating shaft 2 and the transmission sprocket 3. The upper end of the movable plate 6 is movably connected to one end of the mounting plate 5, and the lower end of the movable plate 6 is in a free state.
[0027] One side of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected with a sensor bracket 8, and the sensor bracket 8 is provided with an elastic compression assembly. The elastic compression assembly is placed on the movable plate 6, and the lower end of the movable plate 6 is in rolling contact with the lifting chain 4. The tensioning force of the lifting chain 4 acts on the lower end of the movable plate 6, so that the movable plate 6 compresses the elastic compression assembly.
[0028] The sensor support 8 is provided with a detection sensor 9, which sends a normal state signal or a broken state signal of the lifting chain 4 by detecting the distance from the movable plate 6.
[0029] In the embodiment, when the driving sprocket 3 drives the lifting chain 4 up and down under the driving of the rotating shaft 2, the elastic compression assembly compresses the movable plate 6, and the movable plate 6 is in rolling contact with the lifting chain 4, at which time the lifting chain 4 is in a normal state, and the detection sensor 9 can detect the movable plate 6; after the lifting chain 4 is broken due to a fault, the lifting chain 4 is in a relaxed state, and the elastic compression assembly pushes out the movable plate 6, and the detection sensor 9 cannot detect the movable plate 6, and the detection sensor 9 triggers a broken chain signal. The embodiment realizes accurate and timely detection of the breaking of the chain, and improves the safety and reliability of the unloading stacker.
[0030] In a specific embodiment, the mounting plate 5 is a V-shaped mounting plate, two V-shaped mounting plates are fixed on the support frame 1 and placed on both sides of the driving sprocket 3, and the upper end of the movable plate 6 is connected with the V-shaped mounting plate through a pin shaft.
[0031] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the installation of the movable plate is facilitated, and the movable plate can be close to the lifting chain.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The lower end of the movable plate 6 is provided with a pin shaft, the pin shaft is provided with a chain compression wheel 7, the chain compression wheel 7 is in rolling contact with the lifting chain 4, and the pin shaft of the upper end of the movable plate 6 is also provided with a chain compression wheel 7, and the chain compression wheel 7 is in rolling contact with the lifting chain 4.
[0033] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the contact between the movable plate and the lifting chain is realized through the chain compression wheel, and rolling contact is formed between the movable plate and the lifting chain, so that the friction and wear of the lifting chain are effectively reduced.
[0034] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The elastic compression assembly includes a supporting bolt 10, a compression spring 11 and a nut 12, the nut 12 is fixedly connected to the sensor support 8, the supporting bolt 10 is screwed with the nut 12, the compression spring 11 is sleeved on the supporting bolt 10, and the compression spring 11 is pressed by the movable plate 6 and is in a compressed state.
[0035] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the elastic compression assembly and the movable plate are in an elastic compression state, the compression spring always generates a certain elastic pressure on the movable plate in the normal state of the lifting chain, so that the movable plate can be instantaneously pushed out when the chain is broken, and the detection sensor can achieve accurate and timely detection.
[0036] In one specific embodiment, the detection sensor 9 is a non-contact sensor, typically a proximity switch. Installed near the chain drive system, the detection sensor is capable of real-time monitoring of the position and motion of the lifting chain. When the lifting chain is operating normally, the detection sensor detects the movable plate, thereby detecting the chain's motion signal. When the chain breaks, the detection sensor loses the ability to detect the movable plate and, consequently, the chain's motion signal, thereby determining that the chain has broken.
[0037] Working conditions of this utility model:
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 5 is fixed on the support frame 1, the transmission sprocket 3 drives the lifting chain 4 to move up and down, and the movable plate 6 is in contact with the lifting chain 4, which is in a normal state at this time; the lifting chain 4 presses the chain pressure wheel 7, and the chain pressure wheel 7 drives the movable plate 6 to be in a vertical state; the detection sensor 9 installed on the sensor bracket 8 can detect the movable plate 6, which is in a detected state; the compression spring 11 is in a compressed state at this time, and the support bolt 10 supports and retains the compression spring 11.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, when the lifting chain 4 suddenly breaks, the lifting chain 4 is in a relaxed state, the pressing force is not enough to press the chain pressure wheel 7, the compression spring 11 acts instantaneously, and the movable plate 6 pops out. The distance between the movable plate 6 and the detection sensor 9 increases, the detection sensor 9 cannot detect the movable plate 6, the detection signal of the detection sensor 9 disappears, and the alarm is triggered instantly.
[0040] In addition, the detection sensor in the present invention can also be combined with a signal processing module and an alarm module for automatic monitoring and control. The detection sensor is used to detect the status of the chain, the signal processing module is used to process and analyze the signal from the detection sensor, and the alarm module is used to issue an alarm signal when a chain break is detected. This achieves automated detection and alarm of lifting chain breakage.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
[0042] Furthermore, it should be understood that although the description is made according to the embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description is made in this way only for the sake of clarity, and the person skilled in the art should understand the description as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that the person skilled in the art can understand.
