AI Technical Summary
The existing unidirectional exit mechanism cannot keep pace with the main track during the clothes hanger's descent, which may cause the clothes hangers to pile up or fall off.
Design a co-directional exit mechanism including a main track, a transition track, and a rotating component. The rotating component provides power, and the combination of a turntable and a lever ensures that the hangers flow orderly into the main track. A release mechanism is set up to control the downward movement and movement of the hangers to prevent them from piling up or falling.
This ensures efficient and orderly exit of hangers, preventing them from piling up or falling off, and guarantees that the hangers match the main track in time, thus improving conveying efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying machinery technology, and in particular to a unidirectional outbound mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The hanging conveyor mechanism of a garment production line typically consists of a main rail and branch rails distributed along one side of the main rail. After the garments complete their respective processes at the workstations located on the branch rails, the garments hanging on the hangers are drawn back onto the main rail through the exit mechanism of the branch rails, thus flowing to subsequent workstations until all processes are completed.
[0003] In existing unidirectional exit mechanisms, clothes hangers rely solely on gravity to slide down the transition track and merge into the main rail without any power. Because the timing of the clothes hangers' descent is not synchronized with the movement of the main rail, they inevitably collide with the push rods on the main rail, leading to the accumulation or falling of clothes hangers. Therefore, a new type of unidirectional exit mechanism is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a unidirectional exit mechanism to ensure that the clothes hangers exit efficiently and orderly, and to avoid the situation of clothes hangers piling up or falling.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a unidirectional exit mechanism, including a main track, a transition track and a rotating component. The transition track is tangent to the main track. The rotating component is located at the intersection of the main track and the transition track. The rotating component includes a turntable and paddles. The paddles are evenly distributed around the bottom of the turntable. A release mechanism is embedded in the transition track. When the clothes hanger passes through the transition track, the release mechanism releases it and then it merges into the main track.
[0006] Furthermore, the transition track includes a downward sliding section and an arc-shaped section, the arc-shaped section being located at the same position as the rotation trajectory of the paddle, and the release mechanism being located at the connection between the downward sliding section and the arc-shaped section.
[0007] Furthermore, the paddle is designed to be L-shaped, curving towards the transition track side, with the bottom of the paddle slightly higher than the arc segment.
[0008] Furthermore, the release mechanism includes a fixed plate and baffles. The baffles are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixed plate. The baffle at the lower position is set at the connection between the sliding section and the arc section. The baffles on both sides are connected by bolts. The bolts pass through the fixed plate, and the fixed plate has waist-shaped through holes for the bolts to move up and down.
[0009] Furthermore, the two baffles are L-shaped as a whole, and the vertical portions are set with opposite oblique angles.
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding section is reinforced by fixing connecting ribs to the side of the track.
[0011] Furthermore, the turntable is driven by a chain, the chain's running speed is the same as the main track chain, and the turntable is fixedly supported on the support plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the unidirectional departure mechanism of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The rotating component provides power to the hangers. Since the rotation speed of the turntable is synchronized with the main rail chain, the hangers are pushed into the main rail by the release mechanism. Therefore, the time when the hangers enter the main rail coincides with the push rod moving to the corresponding position. The hangers leave the station efficiently and in an orderly manner, and there will be no situation where the hangers pile up or fall.
[0014] 2. A release mechanism is set on the downward slide of the hanger. The paddle on the turntable is rotated in cycles. When there is no hanger, the paddle moves the lower baffle. Since the baffle is L-shaped, the horizontal part of the baffle at the higher position connected to it is raised, and the vertical part blocking the hanger sinks down. The blocked hanger is released and passes through. The release mechanism returns to its original position under the action of gravity. After the hanger is blocked by the lower baffle, the paddle moves the hanger to release it. This cycle continues. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0022] As shown in the figure, a unidirectional exit mechanism includes a main track 8, a transition track, and a rotating component. The transition track is tangent to the main track 8 and includes a sliding section 3 and an arc section 7. The sliding section 3 is reinforced by a connecting rib 4 fixed on the side of the track. The position of the arc section 7 is consistent with the rotation trajectory of the lever 6, and the release mechanism is located at the connection between the sliding section 3 and the arc section 7.
[0023] The rotating assembly is located at the intersection of the main track 8 and the transition track. The rotating assembly includes a turntable 1 and a paddle 6. The turntable 1 is driven by a chain, and the running speed of the chain is the same as that of the main track chain. The turntable 1 is fixedly supported on the support plate 2. The paddle 6 is evenly distributed around the bottom of the turntable 1. The paddle 6 is L-shaped and bends towards the transition track, and the bottom of the paddle 6 is slightly higher than the arc section 7.
[0024] An outgoing mechanism is embedded in the transition track. When the hanger 5 passes through the transition track, the outgoing mechanism releases it and then merges into the main track 8. The outgoing mechanism includes a fixed plate 12 and baffles. The baffles are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixed plate 12. The baffle 11 at the lower position is located at the connection between the sliding section 3 and the arc section 7. The baffle 9 at the higher position is connected to the baffle 11 at the lower position by bolts 10. The bolts 10 pass through the fixed plate 12, and the fixed plate 12 has a waist-shaped through hole for the bolts 10 to move up and down.
[0025] The two baffles are L-shaped as a whole, and the vertical parts are set at opposite angles to facilitate the smooth passage of the clothes hanger.
[0026] This invention uses a rotating assembly to power the hangers and includes a release mechanism during the hanger's descent. A lever 6 on the turntable 1 cycles through the hangers. When there are no hangers, lever 6 moves the lower baffle 11. Because the baffle is L-shaped, the horizontal portion of the higher baffle 9 connected to it rises, preventing the vertical portion of the hanger from sinking. The blocked hanger 5 is then released. The release mechanism returns to its original position under gravity. After the hanger 5 is blocked by the lower baffle 11, lever 6 moves it again to release it, and this cycle repeats. Because the turntable 1 rotates synchronously with the main track chain, the hangers released by the release mechanism and lever 6 converge into the main track 8 at the exact time the push rod reaches its corresponding position. This ensures efficient and orderly hanger exit, preventing hanger accumulation or falling.
