Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a continuous elevator tilting and transition device. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous elevators, as mechanical equipment that continuously conveys materials in a vertical direction, are widely used in many industries such as food and beverage, machinery and electrical, tobacco logistics, airport energy, and new retail. They can efficiently transport materials from low to high or from high to low. In the material conveying process, when it is necessary to change the direction of material movement, such as from horizontal conveying to vertical lifting, or from vertical falling to horizontal conveying, the flipping transition device plays a key role. It is a mechanical structure that ensures the smooth transition of materials, thereby connecting subsequent processing, packaging, warehousing and other processes.

[0003] However, after the material has completed its vertical movement via a continuous elevator, traditional material transition methods have many limitations when it is necessary to smoothly and accurately transition it to a horizontal conveying direction or a conveying path at a specific angle.

[0004] On the one hand, simple methods such as direct dumping can easily damage materials due to impact, especially for fragile items such as glass products and precision electronic components. This method will cause a significant increase in the scrap rate of products, seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality. For example, in electronic chip manufacturing plants, if a rough transition method is used after the chip is lifted, even a slight impact may damage the internal circuitry and cause the chip to fail.

[0005] On the other hand, traditional transition methods struggle to achieve precise positioning and directional transport for materials with irregular shapes and varying sizes. For instance, in automotive parts manufacturing workshops, after various parts of different shapes are lifted, the inability to precisely control their transition posture may lead to difficulties in accurate alignment during subsequent assembly processes. This necessitates additional manual adjustments or complex mechanical positioning devices for correction, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases production and labor costs.

[0006] Furthermore, with the continuous improvement of industrial automation, the requirements for the continuity, stability, and efficiency of material conveying systems are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional non-professional flipping and transition devices cannot match the rhythm of the entire automated production line, easily causing problems such as material congestion and conveying interruptions, affecting the smoothness and reliability of the entire production process. For example, in a large food packaging production line, if a problem occurs in the material transition link, the packaging process will not be able to obtain materials in a timely manner, which will cause the entire production line to stop, resulting in huge economic losses.

[0007] Furthermore, traditional continuous elevator tilting relies mainly on simple guide plates or fixed curved tracks. While these methods are simple, they have several problems, such as: severe wear, as the material is in direct contact with the guide plates or tracks, leading to material wear over time and affecting service life; low efficiency, as traditional designs may not be well-suited for materials of certain shapes and sizes, resulting in reduced conveying efficiency; high maintenance costs, with frequent replacement of worn parts increasing operating costs; and high noise levels, as the noise generated by material impacting the guide plates is also a significant issue. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous elevator tilting and transition device.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A continuous hoist tilting transition device is characterized by comprising two frame columns, a motor, a coupling, a transmission rod, and a movable roller assembly. The two frame columns are arranged symmetrically along the vertical direction. One frame column has a motor and a fixing block fixedly mounted at intervals, while the other frame column has a fixing block. The motor and the fixing block are both located at the front of the frame columns. The output shaft of the motor is tightly connected to the inner end of the coupling. The upper end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the outer end of the coupling. The movable roller assembly includes a central roller, a side roller, and two rotating plates. The left and right ends of the central roller are rotatably connected to the two fixing blocks. The two rotating plates are sleeved on the left and right ends of the central roller. The lower end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating plate. The left and right ends of the side roller are respectively fixedly connected to the other ends of the two rotating plates. A stop block is fixedly mounted on the rear part of each of the two frame columns. The height of the stop block corresponds to the height of the side roller when it rotates to its highest point.

[0011] Furthermore, the coupling includes a bushing and a rotating plate. The bushing is fixedly sleeved onto the motor output shaft by the cooperation of a concave key and a convex key. The rotating plate extends radially outward along the bushing, and the upper end of the transmission rod is fitted and limited by a mounting hole on the outer side of the rotating plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the front end of the fixing block is provided with a collar, and the left and right ends of the central roller pass through the collar.

[0013] Furthermore, the output end of the motor is fixedly provided with a mounting plate, and the coupling is located on the outside of the mounting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the flipping transition device also includes a non-powered roller, the left and right ends of which are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two frame columns, and the non-powered roller is at the same height as the central roller.

[0015] Furthermore, the movable roller assembly also includes a baffle, the left and right ends of which are fixedly connected to two rotating plates respectively, and the baffle separates the center roller and the side roller.

[0016] This invention achieves switching between horizontal and vertical conveying through a simple combination of a motor, connecting rod, and rotating parts. The entire switching process is completed under precise mechanical structure design and power control, resulting in low cost and easy manufacturing. It also ensures smooth material movement and reduces material loss and damage caused by falling or collisions.

[0017] This invention enables the change of cargo transport direction within a relatively small space, saving space. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] This utility model discloses a continuous elevator tilting and transition device, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes two frame columns 1, a motor 2, a coupling 4, a transmission rod 5, and a movable roller assembly 6. The two frame columns 1 are arranged symmetrically in the vertical direction. The motor 2 and the fixing block 9 are fixedly installed on one side of the frame column 1 at intervals. The fixing block 9 is installed on the other side of the frame column. The motor 2 and the fixing block 9 are both located at the front of the frame column 1. The output end of the motor 2 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 3. The coupling 4 is located on the outside of the mounting plate 3. The output shaft of the motor 2 is tightly connected to the inner end of the coupling 4.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the coupling 4 includes a bushing 41 and a rotating plate 42. The bushing 41 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 2 by the cooperation of a concave key and a convex key. The rotating plate 42 extends outward along the radial direction of the bushing 41. The upper end of the transmission rod 5 is matched and limited by the mounting hole 43 on the outer side of the rotating plate 42, so that the upper end of the transmission rod 5 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the coupling 4.

[0029] The movable roller assembly 6 includes a central roller 61, a side roller 62, and two rotating plates 63. The front end of the fixed block 9 is provided with a collar 91. The left and right ends of the central roller 61 pass through the collar 91, and the left and right ends of the central roller 61 are rotatably connected to the collars 91 of the two fixed blocks 9 respectively.

[0030] Two rotating plates 63 are fitted onto the left and right ends of the central roller 61. The lower end of the transmission rod 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating plate 63. The left and right ends of the side roller 62 are fixedly connected to the other ends of the two rotating plates 63, respectively.

[0031] The movable roller assembly 6 also includes a baffle 64, with its left and right ends fixedly connected to two rotating plates 63 respectively. The baffle 64 separates the central roller 61 and the side rollers 62, serving to separate and protect the rollers.

[0032] When motor 2 receives the start signal, the rotor inside motor 2 begins to rotate at high speed, generating a strong torque. Because the output shaft of motor 2 is tightly connected to one end of coupling 4, coupling 4 transmits the torque generated by the output shaft of motor 2. After receiving the torque, the transmission rod 5 connected to the outer end of coupling 5 begins to rotate around the axis. The rotation of transmission rod 5 then directly acts on the movable roller group 6.

[0033] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the side rollers 62 and the center roller 61 in the movable roller group 6 are set at the same height and in parallel.

[0034] If it is necessary to switch from horizontal conveying to vertical conveying, the motor 2 drives the coupling 4 to rotate clockwise, causing the transmission rod 5 to move down, which in turn pushes the rotating plate 63 to rotate clockwise as well. The rear end of the rotating plate 63 gradually descends along the preset arc track, while the front end of the rotating plate 63 is raised accordingly, so that the side roller 62, which was originally set parallel to the central roller 61, slowly rotates to the highest position. At this time, the side roller 62 can be used to vertically lift the goods transported by the conveyor line.

[0035] Each of the two frame columns 1 is fixed with a stop block 8 at its rear. The height of the stop block 8 corresponds to the height of the side roller 62 when it rotates to its highest point. In the vertical conveying state, the stop block 8 can receive and limit the goods, preventing the goods from being driven by the side roller 62 to continue to be conveyed backward.

[0036] When it is necessary to switch from vertical conveying back to horizontal conveying, motor 2 drives coupling 4 to rotate counterclockwise, causing transmission rod 5 to move upward, which in turn drives the rear end of rotating plate 63 to rise, and side roller 62 to return to the same height as center roller 61 and be set in parallel.

[0037] The flipping transition device also includes a non-powered roller 7. The left and right ends of the non-powered roller 7 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two frame columns 1 respectively. The non-powered roller 7 is at the same height as the central roller 61. In the horizontal conveying state, the non-powered roller 7 can be connected to the movable roller group 6 to continue to convey goods backward.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
