Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0018] Example
[0019] Please refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic aluminum tube conveying and diversion device includes a conveyor line 1, a support frame 2, and a synchronous belt conveyor 3. The synchronous belt conveyor 3 is disposed on the conveyor line 1. A body support frame connecting plate 4 is disposed on both sides of the conveyor line 1. The body support frame connecting plate 4 is fixedly disposed on the conveyor line 1. The bottom end of the body support frame connecting plate 4 is connected to the support frame 2.
[0020] The synchronous belt conveyor 3 includes a drive belt 301, a drive pulley 302, a driven pulley 303, and multiple pushing mechanisms 5. Two symmetrical support plates 6 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the conveyor line 1. Shaft seats are symmetrically arranged on the two support plates 6. A drive shaft is mounted on the support plate 6 at the front end of the conveyor line 1 via the shaft seats, and a drive pulley 302 is mounted on the drive shaft. A driven shaft is mounted on the support plate 6 at the rear end of the conveyor line 1 via the shaft seats, and a driven pulley 303 is mounted on the driven shaft. A motor mounting plate 304 is provided on the support plate 6 at the front end of the conveyor line 1. A motor 305 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 304. The output end of the motor 305 is connected to the drive shaft. The transmission belt 301 is directly wound around the drive wheel 302 and the driven wheel 303 to form a closed loop. Multiple pushing mechanisms 5 are all arranged on the conveyor line 1. The motor is mounted on the motor mounting plate on the support plate at the front end of the conveyor line. The output end of the motor is connected to the drive shaft. The drive wheel on the drive shaft is driven to rotate by the motor. The transmission belt is directly wound around the drive wheel and the driven wheel, thereby driving the driven wheel to rotate and forming a closed loop.
[0021] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a side-push cylinder mounting plate 501, a side-push cylinder 502, a side-push plate 503, and a hinge baffle 504. The side-push cylinder mounting plate 501 is disposed on the conveyor line 1, the side-push cylinder 502 is disposed on the side-push cylinder mounting plate 501, and the side-push plate 503 is disposed at the output end of the side-push cylinder 502. The hinge baffle 504 is disposed on the side of the conveyor line 1 opposite to the side-push plate 503. A pen-shaped cylinder 7 is disposed on the side-push cylinder mounting plate 501. The output end of the pen-shaped cylinder 7 is provided with a blocking strip 8; a photoelectric sensor bracket 9 is provided on the side-push cylinder mounting plate 501, and a photoelectric sensor 10 is provided on the photoelectric sensor bracket 9; the hinge baffle 504 includes a fixed plate 5041, a movable plate 5042, and a hinge 5043. A movable frame is provided on the fixed plate 5041, and the movable plate 5042 is positioned at the location of the movable frame. The top of the movable plate 5042 is mounted on the fixed plate 5041 via the hinge 5043. In the above description, the photoelectric sensor detection is used to detect whether there is an aluminum tube at the current workstation. When it is necessary to divert the aluminum tube, the side-push cylinder is activated. The side-push cylinder is mounted on the side-push cylinder mounting plate, and its output side-push plate pushes the aluminum tube toward the hinge baffle on the opposite side of the side-push plate. When the aluminum tube is pushed towards the hinge baffle, the movable plate rotates around the hinge under pressure, and the aluminum tube is guided to a specific diversion direction. The side push cylinder mounting plate is also equipped with a pen-shaped cylinder, and the output end of the pen-shaped cylinder is equipped with a blocking bar. When it is necessary to stop the aluminum tube from continuing to be conveyed forward, the pen-shaped cylinder pushes the blocking bar forward to prevent the aluminum tube from moving forward.
[0022] The support frame 2 has a fixed foot 11 at its bottom end, and support plates 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support frame 2. The support plates 12 contact the ground, and the fixed foot at the bottom end of the support frame increases the stability of the contact with the ground. The support plates on both sides of the support frame further improve the stability of the device.
[0023] Baffles 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the conveyor line 1.
[0024] Working Principle: An aluminum tube is placed on a conveyor line. As the conveyor belt moves, the tube moves forward. When the tube passes a photoelectric sensor, the sensor detects its position and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system determines whether to perform a diversion operation based on preset diversion logic. If diversion is required, the control system issues a command to activate the side-push cylinder. The side-push cylinder on the mounting plate pushes the side-push plate, pushing the aluminum tube towards the hinge baffle. The movable plate of the hinge baffle rotates around the hinge under the push of the aluminum tube, guiding it to move in a specific diversion direction. When the photoelectric sensor transmits a signal to the control system, and the control system issues a diversion command to stop the tube from continuing forward, the control system activates a pen-shaped cylinder. This pen-shaped cylinder, mounted on the side-push cylinder mounting plate, pushes a blocking bar at its output end, preventing the aluminum tube from advancing. The device operates continuously, constantly detecting, blocking, and diverting the aluminum tubes on the conveyor line, achieving automatic conveying and diversion of the aluminum tubes.
[0025] In summary, this utility model's automatic aluminum tube conveying and diversion device replaces the original manual material receiving and transferring process, significantly accelerating production and increasing capacity. The coordinated operation of the synchronous belt conveyor and the pushing mechanism enables rapid and accurate conveying and diversion of aluminum tubes, reducing the time and labor required for manual operation and thus improving production efficiency. The entire device uses a motor-driven synchronous belt conveyor, combined with photoelectric sensors, side-push cylinders, pen-shaped cylinders, and other automated components, to achieve automatic conveying, detection, and diversion of aluminum tubes. No manual intervention is required, improving the level of automation in production and reducing the impact of human factors on the production process.
