Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal conveying equipment, specifically to an anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets (usually less than 6mm), including shearing, punching / cutting / combined cutting, bending, welding, riveting, splicing, and forming (such as car bodies). Its most significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Products processed through sheet metal processing are called sheet metal parts. Sheet metal parts need to be transported during processing, thus requiring the use of belt conveyors. Currently, when using belt conveyors to transport sheet metal parts, belt misalignment is a common problem. This is mainly because, over time, the internal rubber and outer edges of the belt wear down, resulting in uneven belt edges and belt misalignment. Additionally, the belt is prone to misalignment due to external forces during operation. In existing technology, baffles are usually installed on both sides of the belt to guide its movement and ensure it runs in the correct direction, preventing misalignment.

[0003] As conveyor belts may loosen and slip over time during use, the stability of sheet metal parts during transport cannot be guaranteed. Although baffles can prevent belt deviation, the baffles will generate friction on the belt when the belt hits the baffles, which will accelerate the wear of the belt. Therefore, this needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors, which effectively prevents belt deviation when conveying sheet metal parts, ensures stable belt operation, avoids belt wear and slippage, and improves the stability of sheet metal parts during conveying.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a guide structure for preventing belt misalignment in a belt conveyor, comprising a conveyor body, wherein two left-right distributed conveyor rollers are installed inside the conveyor body, a fixing groove is provided in the middle of the outer side wall of the conveyor rollers, a first gear is installed through the fixing groove, a belt body is movably sleeved between the outer side walls of the two conveyor rollers, a guide strip is installed in the middle of the inner side wall of the belt body, and a limit groove is provided in the middle of the outer side wall of the guide strip;

[0006] The conveyor body has a support plate installed inside between two conveying rollers. The upper and lower surfaces of the support plate are provided with grooves that are slidably connected to the guide strips. Multiple evenly distributed rotating shafts are installed inside the grooves and are movably mounted via rotating shafts. Two second gears distributed front and rear are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shafts. A limiting wheel that is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft and matches the limiting groove is installed between the two second gears.

[0007] In order to facilitate the movement of the guide bar while limiting its movement, as a preferred embodiment of the anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors of this utility model, both the front and rear ends of the outer side wall of the guide bar are provided with teeth that mesh with the first gear and the second gear.

[0008] In order to increase the flatness of the belt body, as a preferred anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors according to this utility model, the support plate is at the same height as the two conveying rollers.

[0009] In order to facilitate the movement of the guide bar into the interior of the chute, as a preferred embodiment of the anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors of this utility model, the openings at both ends of the chute are funnel-shaped.

[0010] To increase the stability of the conveyor roller rotation, as a preferred anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors according to this utility model, both the front and rear ends of the conveyor roller located on the right side are movably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body through a rotating shaft.

[0011] In order to enable the conveyor roller and the belt body to rotate, as a preferred anti-deviation guide structure for belt conveyors according to this utility model, a motor is installed on the outer wall of the conveyor body. The output end of the motor passes through the outer wall of the conveyor body and is fixedly connected to the conveyor roller located on the left side. The other end of the conveyor roller located on the left side is movably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body through a rotating shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] When this invention is first used, during the process of conveying sheet metal parts by rotating the belt body, the guide bar can be driven to move along the slide groove, which can guide the belt body. At the same time, the teeth on the guide bar mesh with multiple second gears in the slide groove, and multiple limiting wheels can move along the limiting groove. This allows the multiple second gears and multiple limiting wheels to support the movement of the guide bar while limiting the guide bar, thereby limiting the belt body. During the process of the two conveying rollers driving the belt body to rotate, the two first gears mesh with the guide bar, further guiding and limiting the guide bar while preventing the belt body from slipping. Thus, when conveying sheet metal parts, it effectively prevents the belt from running off-center, ensures stable belt operation, avoids belt wear and slippage, and improves the stability of sheet metal parts during conveying.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A guide structure for preventing belt misalignment in a belt conveyor includes a conveyor body 1. Two conveyor rollers 2, arranged left and right, are installed inside the conveyor body 1. A fixing groove 201 is provided in the middle of the outer side wall of the conveyor roller 2. A first gear 202 is installed through the fixing groove 201. A belt body 3 is movably sleeved between the outer side walls of the two conveyor rollers 2. A guide strip 301 is installed in the middle of the inner side wall of the belt body 3. A limit groove 302 is provided in the middle of the outer side wall of the guide strip 301.

[0020] Inside the conveyor body 1, there is a support plate 4 located between two conveying rollers 2. The upper and lower surfaces of the support plate 4 are provided with grooves 401 that are slidably connected to the guide strips 301. Inside the grooves 401, there are multiple evenly distributed rotating shafts 5 that are movably installed via rotating shafts. Two second gears 501 distributed front and back are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shafts 5. Between the two second gears 501, there is a limiting wheel 502 that is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shafts 5 and matches the limiting groove 302.

[0021] In this embodiment: During use, as the belt body 3 rotates to transport the sheet metal parts, it can drive the guide bar 301 to move along the slide groove 401, which can guide the belt body 3. At the same time, the teeth 303 on the guide bar 301 mesh with multiple second gears 501 in the slide groove 401, and multiple limiting wheels 502 can move along the limiting groove 302. This allows the multiple second gears 501 and multiple limiting wheels 502 to support the movement of the guide bar 301 while limiting the guide bar 301, thereby limiting the belt body 3. In addition, as the two conveying rollers 2 drive the belt body 3 to rotate, the two first gears 202 mesh with the guide bar 301, further guiding and limiting the guide bar 301 while preventing the belt body 3 from slipping. Thus, when transporting sheet metal parts, it effectively prevents the belt from running off-center, ensures stable belt operation, avoids belt wear and slippage, and improves the stability of the sheet metal parts during transport.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the front and rear ends of the outer side wall of the guide strip 301 are provided with teeth 303 that mesh with the first gear 202 and the second gear 501.

[0023] In this embodiment: by setting the tooth pattern 303, the guide bar 301 can move along the first gear 202 and the second gear 501 when it moves with the belt body 3, which facilitates the movement of the guide bar 301 and at the same time limits it.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the support plate 4 is at the same height as the two conveying rollers 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting the support plate 4 to be at the same height as the two conveyor rollers 2, the flatness of the belt body 3 can be increased.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the openings at both ends of the slide groove 401 are flared.

[0027] In this embodiment, the openings at both ends of the slide groove 401 are flared to facilitate the movement of the guide bar 301 into the interior of the slide groove 401.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the front and rear ends of the conveyor roller 2 located on the right side are movably connected to the inner side wall of the conveyor body 1 through a rotating shaft.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the conveyor roller 2 located on the right side rotates, its rotational stability can be increased.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a motor 101 is installed on the outer wall of the conveyor body 1. The output end of the motor 101 passes through the outer wall of the conveyor body 1 and is fixedly connected to the conveyor roller 2 located on the left side. The other end of the conveyor roller 2 located on the left side is movably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body 1 through a rotating shaft.

[0031] In this embodiment: the motor 101 is started to drive the left conveyor roller 2 to rotate, so that the left conveyor roller 2 drives the right conveyor roller 2 to rotate through the belt body 3.

[0032] Working principle: First, when using this conveyor to transport sheet metal parts, the sheet metal parts can be placed above one end of the belt body 3. Then, the operator starts the motor 101, causing the conveyor roller 2 on the left to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor roller 2 on the right to rotate through the belt body 3. This causes the belt body 3 to rotate and transport the sheet metal parts. During the rotation of the belt body 3, the guide bar 301 can be moved along the slide groove 401 (when the guide bar 301 moves into the slide groove 401, the top of the guide bar 301 is flush with the top of the support plate 4), which can guide the belt body 3. At the same time, the teeth 303 on the guide bar 301 and the slide groove 401... Multiple second gears 501 mesh within the belt, and multiple limiting wheels 502 can move along the limiting groove 302. This allows the multiple second gears 501 and multiple limiting wheels 502 to rotate and support the movement of the guide bar 301, while simultaneously limiting the guide bar 301, thereby limiting the belt body 3. During the rotation of the belt body 3 driven by the two conveying rollers 2, the two first gears 202 mesh with the guide bar 301 (when the guide bar 301 moves into the fixed groove 201, the top of the guide bar 301 is flush with the top of the conveying roller 2), further guiding and limiting the guide bar 301 while preventing the belt body 3 from slipping, thus effectively preventing the belt from running off-center when conveying sheet metal parts.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
