Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enameled flat wire technology, specifically to an adjustable width conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] Conveyor belts, also known as transport belts, come in many specifications and models depending on the usage environment and requirements. Generally speaking, conveyor belts refer to rubber, fiber, metal, and composite products used to carry and transport materials. They are widely used in industries such as cement, coking, metallurgy, chemicals, and steel for short-distance and small-capacity conveying applications. They are primarily used in assembly line operations as small components on automatic laser marking machines for motor stators and in laboratory settings.
[0003] Currently, a common problem on motor stator processing production lines is that motor stators come in various sizes and shapes, and these items need to be "marked" and coded on the production line. It is impossible to have one production line for each product. To achieve the marking and coding of multiple products on one production line, it is necessary to make simple and quick adjustments to the conveyor belt on the production line to meet the marking needs of different models and sizes of products in the factory.
[0004] To address this, existing patent CN2015207453360 discloses an adjustable-width conveyor belt. This conveyor belt includes a movable side and a fixed side. The fixed side consists of a fixed upright plate, a fixed upper cover plate, and a fixed lower cover plate. A cylinder assembly is installed on the upper part of the fixed upright plate, and the lower outer side of the fixed upright plate is fixed to the frame by a locking block. The movable side consists of a movable upright plate, a movable upper cover plate, and a movable lower cover plate. Two linear slide rails that cooperate with a slider are provided on the surface of the frame. The movable upright plate is equipped with an adjustment device and a locking device for adjusting the forward and backward movement of the movable side. This design allows the conveyor belt to have a variable distance of 80–180 mm, allowing for different movement ranges to be designed according to actual dimensions. It solves the problem of adjusting the width of a conveyor belt capable of transporting objects of different widths. However, using this technical solution, the cylinder assembly and the sliding frame at the bottom require a significant amount of space, and the placement of the handwheel makes it difficult to maintain a consistent overall width of the conveyor belt.

[0026] 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.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 To ensure the stability and accuracy of the conveyor belt 1 during the adjustment process, this application provides an adjustable width conveyor belt, comprising: a conveyor belt 1 (using existing technology, rotating via an external servo motor; since this is not the inventive point of this application, it will not be described in detail), the conveyor belt 1 being mounted on a frame 2, characterized in that a plurality of support seats 3 are arranged laterally at intervals within the frame 2, and a bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 is also provided within the frame 2, which is horizontally aligned with the support seats 3; the bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 controls the frame 2 to move horizontally along the support seats 3 to move closer to or further away from each other; slide rods 5 are provided at both ends of the frame 2 for reciprocating horizontal movement of the frame 2; the bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 is located at any end of the frame 2, at a position of 1 / 5 of the frame 2.
[0028] Its implementation principle is as follows:
[0029] Inside the frame 2, several support seats 3 are arranged at horizontal intervals. These support seats 3 provide a stable support base for the frame 2, ensuring that it will not wobble or tilt when adjusting the width. Inside the frame 2, a bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 is arranged horizontally and in the same direction as the support seats 3. This rotating component can be a threaded rod, a worm gear mechanism, or other mechanical device capable of transmitting torque and generating linear displacement. One end of the bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 is fixedly connected to the frame 2 (e.g., through a bearing), and the other end extends outside the frame 2 for easy operation (e.g., to install a handle, motor, etc.). The rotating component is also equipped with some form of transmission mechanism (e.g., a nut, gear, etc.) to convert the rotational motion of the rotating component into linear movement of the frame 2. At both ends of the frame 2, slide rods 5 are provided for the reciprocating horizontal movement of the frame 2. These slide rods 5 serve as guides and limiters, ensuring that the frame 2 maintains a straight trajectory during movement. These sliding rods 5 serve as guides and limiters, ensuring that the frame 2 maintains a straight trajectory during movement. The sliding rods 5 and the frame 2 are connected by a sliding connection (such as a slider or sliding sleeve) to achieve relative movement while maintaining a certain level of friction and stability. When the width of the conveyor belt 1 needs adjustment, the operator rotates the handle of the belt width adjustment rotating component 4 (or starts a motor or other power source) to rotate the component. The rotating component, through a transmission mechanism (such as the movement of a nut on a threaded rod), pushes or pulls the frame 2 horizontally along the support base 3 and the sliding rods 5. The movement of the frame 2 causes a change in the width of the conveyor belt 1, thus achieving flexible width adjustment. The belt width adjustment rotating component 4 is located at either end of the frame 2, at approximately 1 / 5 of its position. This layout considers both ease of operation (facilitating operator access and operation of the rotating component) and ensures structural compactness and rationality (avoiding the rotating component being too close to the center of the frame 2, which could lead to torque imbalance).
[0030] Based on the aforementioned principles, the adjustable-width conveyor belt 1 can be easily adjusted in width according to material size or conveying requirements, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. Simultaneously, its precise mechanical structure and stable support system ensure the stability and accuracy of the conveyor belt 1 during the adjustment process.
[0031] The support 3 provides stable support for the frame 2. It includes a mounting base 31 that is disposed opposite to the outer side of the frame 2 to ensure that the conveyor belt 1 will not shake or deform when the width is adjusted, and a guide rod 32 that runs horizontally through the mounting base 31 and is disposed inside the conveyor belt 1. The placement of the guide rod 32 helps to maintain the horizontal state of the conveyor belt 1 and avoids deviation during the conveying process. While saving installation space, it ensures the effective operation of the conveyor belt 1 and reduces environmental interference.
[0032] The bandwidth adjustment rotating component 4 includes: a lead screw 41 that extends laterally through the frame 2 (in actual operation, both ends of the lead screw are set as smooth rods to ensure that the nut seat 42 always runs effectively on the lead screw 41). A nut seat 42 is installed on one end of the lead screw 41, and the nut seat 42 is in contact with the inner wall of one side of the frame 2. A rotating wheel 43 is also fixedly installed on the end of the lead screw 41 that passes through the frame 2. The rotating wheel 43 is provided with a rotating handle 44. In this embodiment, rotating the handle 44 operates the rotating wheel 43, which can conveniently control the rotation of the lead screw 41, thereby adjusting the position of the frame 2 and realizing the adjustment of the width of the conveyor belt 1. Moreover, the contact between the nut seat 42 and the inner wall of one side of the frame 2 during operation ensures the stability of the lead screw 41 during rotation.
[0033] The slide rods 5 are installed in opposite directions on both sides of the frame 2. The guide rods further enhance the guidance of the frame 2 during reciprocating horizontal movement, ensuring the accuracy and precision of the adjustment. The reverse installation helps to maintain the balance of the frame 2 and avoid tilting during the adjustment process.
[0034] The guide rod 32, lead screw 41, and slide bar 5 all pass horizontally through the conveyor belt 1 and operate independently of each other. This design ensures the independence and stability of each component during the adjustment process, avoids mutual interference, and helps maintain the flatness of the conveyor belt 1.
[0035] The conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a top block 6, which can be used to support or fix materials, prevent slippage or deviation during the conveying process, and improve the stability and conveying efficiency of the conveyor belt 1.
[0036] A distance detector 7 is also installed on the frame 2. The distance detector 7 can monitor the position of the frame 2 or the conveyor belt 1 in real time to ensure the accuracy and precision of the adjustment.
[0037] 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 this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
