Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation, specifically to a high-efficiency 90° steering gear. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as tobacco and food, the conveying of goods on a material transport line needs to change from longitudinal to lateral transport. This generally involves three actions, each driven by a separate power source. The first action is the longitudinal entry and conveying of the goods, using conveyor equipment such as roller conveyors, belt conveyors, or chain conveyors. After the goods are longitudinally conveyed to their designated position, they are either pushed laterally onto other equipment, scraped onto other equipment, or conveyed laterally to other equipment using a lifting mechanism and roller conveyor. The lateral pushing or scraping action requires a motor, reducer, or cylinder drive. The lifting mechanism uses cylinder lifting or cam lifting methods. During the return stroke of the pusher plate, to avoid interference with already positioned goods or to avoid goods currently entering, the pusher plate needs to rise or fall as a whole. Each of these three actions requires a processing time, resulting in low efficiency, and the use of three separate power sources increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency 90° steering gear with a reasonable structural design, reduced motion sources, lower energy consumption, and strong practicality.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a high-efficiency 90° steering machine, including a roller conveyor and a positioning detection device installed on the roller conveyor. The positioning detection device adopts two first detection elements for conveying items to the correct position. A fixed frame is installed outside the roller conveyor. The fixed frame is equipped with a transverse guide shaft, a transverse transmission system, a pusher device, a guide rail system, a buffer device, a longitudinal guide shaft, and a second detection element. The transverse transmission system is connected to the longitudinal guide shaft through a chain and sprocket. The longitudinal guide shaft is installed on the transverse guide shaft. The pusher device is installed on the longitudinal guide shaft. The pusher device cooperates with the guide rail system and the buffer device. A second detection element for detecting the position of the pusher plate is also provided above the pusher device.

[0005] Preferably, the positioning detection device is located in the middle of the roller conveyor, which is a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor.

[0006] Preferably, the lateral transmission system is driven by a speed reducer.

[0007] Preferably, the transverse guide shaft includes two guide shafts, a slide, and a guide shaft mounting base. The guide shaft mounting base is mounted on a fixed frame, and the slide is mounted on the two guide shafts of the guide shaft mounting base.

[0008] Preferably, the pusher device consists of a rotating arm device, a tie rod, a push plate system, and guide rollers. The rotating arm device is connected to the push plate system via the tie rod, and the top of the rotating arm device is equipped with guide rollers that cooperate with the guide rail system.

[0009] Preferably, the guide rail system includes an arc segment and a straight segment.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer device includes a buffer seat and a spring, with the spring disposed on the buffer seat.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model provides a high-efficiency 90° steering mechanism. The transmission system of the push plate not only realizes the movement of the push plate, but also, through the guide rail system, causes the lower part of the push plate of the push frame device to bend upward by a pull rod during the return stroke, avoiding collision with the material in place or affecting the entry of subsequent materials, while improving the working efficiency of the equipment. It also reduces the power source for the up-and-down movement of the push plate, thus reducing the energy consumption of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-3This specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: A high-efficiency 90° steering mechanism includes a roller conveyor 1 for longitudinally conveying items, a positioning detection device on the roller conveyor 1, and two first detection elements 2 for detecting the arrival of conveyed items. A fixed frame 3 is provided outside the roller conveyor 1, and the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a transverse guide shaft 4, a transverse transmission system 5, a pusher device 6, a guide rail system 7, a buffer device 8, a longitudinal guide shaft 9, and a second detection element 10. The transverse transmission system 5 is connected to the longitudinal guide shaft 9 via a chain and sprocket. The longitudinal guide shaft 9 is mounted on the transverse guide shaft 4, and the pusher device 6 is mounted on the longitudinal guide shaft 9. The pusher device 6 cooperates with the guide rail system 7 and the buffer device 8. A second detection element 10, composed of photoelectric sensors, is also provided above the pusher device 6 to detect the position of the pusher plate. This protects the stability of the system and the correctness of each action.

[0019] The positioning detection device is located in the middle of the roller conveyor 1, which is a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor.

[0020] The lateral transmission system 5 is driven by a speed reducer. It consists of two main and driven sprockets, a chain, and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly mainly connects the chain and the slide on the longitudinal guide shaft 9.

[0021] The transverse guide shaft 4 includes two guide shafts 41, a slide 42, and a guide shaft mounting base 43. The guide shaft mounting base 43 is mounted on the fixed frame 3, and the slide 42 is mounted on the two guide shafts 41 of the guide shaft mounting base 43, and can slide back and forth.

[0022] The pusher device 6 consists of a rotating arm device 61, a tie rod 62, a push plate system 63, and guide rollers. The rotating arm device 61 is connected to the push plate system 63 via the tie rod 62, and a guide roller is provided on the top of the rotating arm device 61 to cooperate with the guide rail system 7. The push plate system consists of two push plates. The upper push plate is always in a vertical state, while the lower push plate can rotate around the hinge point of the upper push plate. The rotating arm system connects the push plate system and the rollers. Depending on the position of the rollers above or below the guide rails of the guide rail system 7, the push plate system can use the rotating arm system to keep the lower push plate in a vertical or upward folded state.

[0023] The guide rail system 7 includes an arc segment 71 and a straight segment 72. The middle section is a straight segment, and the front and rear ends are arc segments. The arc segments mainly enable the rollers on the pusher device 6 to turn well and fit tightly against the guide rail surface.

[0024] The buffer device 8 includes a buffer seat 81 and a spring 82. The spring 82 is provided on the buffer seat 81 to reduce the impact force when the lower push plate on the push frame device 6 returns to the vertical state after being folded back.

[0025] The working principle of this specific embodiment is as follows: When the positioning detection element 2 installed on the roller conveyor 1 detects that the item has arrived in place, the roller conveyor 1 stops running.

[0026] The transverse transmission system 5 starts to operate. The transverse transmission system 5 is driven by a motor reducer and passes through a sprocket at the front and a chain on the sprocket. The chain is installed together with the longitudinal guide shaft 9. The longitudinal guide shaft 9 is installed on the transverse guide shaft 4. The push plate device 6 is installed on the transverse guide shaft 4 and is driven by the transverse guide shaft 4 to move.

[0027] The pusher device 6 is located on the far right of the equipment, i.e., the initial position A of the push plate. Through the coordinated action of the transverse guide shaft 4 and the longitudinal guide shaft 9, the pusher device 6 moves linearly, meaning the guide rollers on the pusher device 6 move closely against the guide rail system 7 and around the guide rail system 7. When the pusher device 6 moves forward, the guide rollers on the pusher device 6 are against the lower guide rail surface of the guide rail system 7. During the return stroke, the tension of the spring causes the guide rollers on the pusher device 6 to be against the upper guide rail surface of the guide rail system 7. Simultaneously, the pull rod on the pusher device 6 causes the lower push plate on the pusher device to fold upwards. When the pusher device 6 returns to its initial position, due to the spring action, the guide rollers on the pusher device 6 are against the lower guide rail surface of the guide rail system 7, and the lower push plate on the pusher device 6 returns to a vertical state. To avoid direct action of the spring and reduce impact, when the lower push plate on the pusher device 6 returns to a vertical state, the pull rod of the pusher device 6 will touch the buffer device 8, reducing impact and noise.

[0028] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
