Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove production equipment technology, specifically a track switching mechanism for a glove production line. Background Technology

[0002] Hand molds are essential tools in glove production, significantly influencing the basic physical properties of gloves. During production, hand molds need to be transported between several key stages to ensure smooth production line operation. While existing automated conveyor systems can efficiently transport hand molds, most suffer from limitations in automatically switching the mold's path during transport. Specifically:

[0003] For example, patent CN214163737U discloses an automatic demolding device for a glove production line, including a frame, guide rail, conveyor chain, and hand molds. The hand molds are conveyed along the guide rail via the conveyor chain. In this patent, several hand molds arranged on the conveyor chain move uniformly along the same unchanging track from the start of their conveying to their destination. This makes it impossible to automatically distinguish or redirect the hand molds during the conveying process, which can lead to negative consequences. For instance, in the case of a brush machine, since the brushes of a brush machine typically have a large brushing range and cannot automatically distinguish the hand molds during the conveying process, when cleaning a hand mold that needs to be handled separately, other hand molds located in front of and behind that hand mold will inevitably be brushed, which will negatively impact the lifespan of both the hand molds and the brushes. In production line trolley scenarios, it is necessary to switch batches of hand molds to non-coated or coated tracks as required. However, since it is impossible to automatically turn the hand molds during the conveying process, the only option is to slow down or stop the production line first, and then perform manual operation. This consumes a lot of manpower and resources and poses production safety hazards.

[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a track switching mechanism for a glove production line. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a track switching mechanism for a glove production line to solve the following problems mentioned in the background art: In the existing system for conveying hand molds, there is a limitation that the track switching of hand molds cannot be automatically performed during the conveying process, which will cause a variety of negative impacts.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] A track switching mechanism for a glove production line includes a lower track switching sub-mechanism and an upper track switching sub-mechanism. The upper track switching sub-mechanism is located on the side of the lower track switching sub-mechanism along the track running direction. The lower track switching sub-mechanism includes a lower power section and a lower guide section, and the upper track switching sub-mechanism includes an upper power section and an upper guide section. The upper guide section is at a higher height than the lower guide section. The lower guide section and the upper guide section perform rotational displacement movements under the drive of the lower power section and the upper power section, respectively. During track switching, the lower guide section and the upper guide section move closer to each other due to the rotational displacement movements.

[0008] In this mechanism, by setting up lower and upper track-changing submechanisms, a phased track switching effect for the hand mold can be achieved. Specifically, when the hand mold requiring track switching moves along the current track to the mechanism's position, the lower guide part in the lower track-changing submechanism will rotate upwards, becoming inclined upwards, thus forming an upward track similar to a ramp to lift the hand mold to a certain height. Simultaneously, the upper guide part in the upper track-changing submechanism will rotate downwards, becoming inclined downwards, thus forming a downward track similar to a ramp to catch the hand mold lifted to a certain height. Then, the upper guide part in the upper track-changing submechanism will rotate upwards again to guide the hand mold to the upper track. This phased track switching method is relatively smooth and gentle, avoiding the situation where only one guide part is set up, which requires a large inclination of the guide part to reach the predetermined height of the upper track, potentially causing the hand mold to be bounced too high.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower guide portion includes a lower guide member and a lower rotating support base, with one end of the lower guide member hinged to the lower rotating support base.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower power unit includes a lower cam assembly that slides in contact with the lower guide member. The lower cam assembly is connected to a lower rotating shaft, which is driven by a lower external power mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper guide portion includes an upper guide member and an upper rotating support base, with one end of the upper guide member hinged to the upper rotating support base.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper power unit includes an upper cam assembly that slides in contact with the upper guide member. The upper cam assembly is connected to an upper rotating shaft, which is driven by an upper external power mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower guide member includes a plate-shaped or rod-shaped lower body portion, one end of which is hinged to a lower rotating support seat. The lower body portion slides in contact with the wheel surface of the lower cam assembly, and the lower cam assembly is located below the lower body portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower guide includes a lower body and a lower guide connected below the lower body. The lower body is plate-shaped or rod-shaped, and the lower guide is frame-shaped. One end of the lower body is hinged to the lower rotating support, and the inner side of the lower guide slides in contact with the wheel surface of the lower cam assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper guide member includes a plate-shaped or rod-shaped upper body portion, one end of which is hinged to an upper rotating support seat. The upper body portion slides in contact with the wheel surface of the upper cam assembly, and the upper cam assembly is located below the upper body portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper guide includes an upper body and an upper guide portion connected below the upper body. The upper body is plate-shaped or rod-shaped, and the upper guide portion is frame-shaped. One end of the upper body is hinged to the upper rotating support, and the inner side of the upper guide portion slides in contact with the wheel surface of the upper cam assembly.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0018] A track switching mechanism for a glove production line is provided. By setting up a lower track switching sub-mechanism and an upper track switching sub-mechanism, a phased track switching effect for the hand mold can be achieved. Based on this, the switching process can be made relatively smooth and gentle after the track switching is completed, thereby ensuring the success rate of the switching and preventing damage to the hand mold.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, by setting the track switching mechanism provided by this utility model on the conveyor belt equipment or conveyor chain equipment, the automatic track switching of the hand mold can be realized, thereby enabling automatic differentiation and turning of the hand mold during the conveying process, thus avoiding many negative impacts, such as wear and tear on the brush machine and hand mold, excessive consumption of manpower and material resources, and potential safety hazards.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a track switching mechanism for a glove production line. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 It includes a lower-level track-changing submechanism and an upper-level track-changing submechanism. The upper-level track-changing submechanism is located on the side of the lower-level track-changing submechanism along the track running direction. Specifically:

[0026] The lower track-changing submechanism includes a lower power section and a lower guide section, while the upper track-changing submechanism includes an upper power section and an upper guide section. The upper guide section is at a higher height than the lower guide section. The lower and upper guide sections rotate and shift under the drive of the lower and upper power sections, respectively. When switching tracks, the lower and upper guide sections move closer to each other as they rotate and shift.

[0027] The lower guide section includes a lower guide member and a lower rotary support 7, and the upper guide section includes an upper guide member and an upper rotary support 16; the lower power section includes a lower cam assembly 10, and the upper power section includes an upper cam assembly 13.

[0028] in:

[0029] The lower guide component is located on the side of the lower rotating support 7 along the track running direction. In this embodiment, the lower guide component includes a lower body part 8 and a lower guide part 9 connected to one end below the lower body part 8. The lower body part 8 is elongated and plate-shaped, and the lower guide part 9 is frame-shaped. The end of the lower body part 8 away from the lower guide part 9 is hinged to the lower rotating support 7, and the inner surface of the lower guide part 9 slides in contact with the wheel surface of the lower cam assembly 10. In other embodiments, the lower guide part 9 may be omitted, and the lower body part 8 can directly slide in contact with the wheel surface of the lower cam assembly 10.

[0030] The upper guide component is located on the side opposite to the track running direction of the upper rotating support 16. In this embodiment, the upper guide component includes an upper body 12 and an upper guide portion 15 connected to one lower end of the upper body 12. The upper body 12 is elongated and the upper guide portion 15 is frame-shaped. One end of the upper body 12 is hinged to the upper rotating support 16, and the inner surface of the upper guide portion 15 slides in contact with the wheel surface of the upper cam assembly 13. In other embodiments, the upper guide portion 15 may be omitted, and the upper body 12 may directly slide in contact with the wheel surface of the upper cam assembly 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The lower cam assembly 10 includes a lower cam 31 and a lower driven wheel 32 (not shown in the figure). The lower cam 31 is connected to the lower rotating shaft 33, and the lower driven wheel 32 is connected to the lower cam 31. The wheel surface of the lower driven wheel 32 slides in contact with the inner side of the lower guide portion 15. The lower rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the lower cam assembly fixing seat 11 and is driven by the lower external power mechanism. The upper cam assembly 13 has the same structural composition as the lower cam assembly 10, including an upper cam and an upper driven wheel. The upper cam is connected to the upper rotating shaft, and the upper driven wheel is connected to the upper cam. The wheel surface of the upper driven wheel slides in contact with the inner side of the upper guide portion 9. The upper rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the upper cam assembly fixing seat 14 and is driven by the upper external power mechanism.

[0032] To achieve a high degree of automation, intelligent controllers can be used to control the actions of the upper and lower external power mechanisms.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0034] When this mechanism is positioned at a suitable location on a conveyor belt or conveyor chain, it will not obstruct other hand molds that do not require track switching after the lower and upper track-changing sub-mechanisms are not working or have completed track switching. (This can be achieved by setting the height of the lower track-changing sub-mechanism to be equal to or lower than the height of the track where other hand molds are located, and the height of the upper track-changing sub-mechanism to be higher than the height of other hand molds. The method can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this utility model does not make any special limitations on this.)

[0035] When the hand mold that needs to switch tracks moves to the mechanism position along the current track, it will first reach the lower track-changing sub-mechanism. At this time, the lower external power mechanism will drive the lower cam group 10 to rotate. The rotation of the lower cam group 10 will drive the lower body part 8 of the lower guide to rotate upward along the hinge point, and then become an upward tilted state, thereby forming an upward track similar to a ramp. The hand mold can be lifted to a certain height through this upward track. At the same time, the upper external power mechanism will drive the upper cam group 13 to rotate. The rotation of the upper cam group 13 will drive the upper body part 12 of the upper guide to rotate downward along the hinge point, and then become a downward tilted state to catch the hand mold that has been lifted to a certain height. Then, as the lower cam assembly 10 continues to rotate, the lower body part 8 of the lower guide will continue to rotate downwards and return to its initial position. In this initial position, the lower guide will not obstruct other hand molds that do not need to switch tracks. At the same time, as the upper cam assembly 13 continues to rotate, the upper body part 12 of the upper guide will continue to rotate upwards to guide the hand mold to the upper track and return to its initial position. In this initial position, the upper guide will not obstruct other hand molds that do not need to switch tracks.

[0036] It should be noted that the parts not described in detail or in an elaborate manner in the above solution are all prior art, not improvements made by this utility model to the prior art, nor are they within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution. Therefore, they will not be elaborated upon in this article.

[0037] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples, and all equivalent changes and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should be included in the patent coverage of this utility model.
