Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of production and transportation technology, and relates to a wheel hub climbing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of production and transportation technology, various technologies have been used to achieve incline conveying of wheel hubs, such as roller conveyors, elevator conveyors, and belt conveyors. Among these, roller conveyors face an unavoidable problem when conveying on inclines: the slope cannot be too steep, otherwise slippage will occur, causing wheel hubs to accumulate on the conveyor line and requiring manual intervention. Furthermore, due to frictional losses, the motor needs to have high power to drive the rollers to move the wheel hubs. If the slope is too shallow, it will result in excessive space occupation on the production site, affecting production efficiency and space utilization. Elevator conveyors are complex and expensive, and due to their reciprocating motion, their conveying efficiency is relatively low, and their failure rate is high. Belt conveyor systems require frequent adjustments to the belt tensioning system to prevent belt misalignment, which not only increases maintenance costs but also affects the stability and reliability of the conveyor. Existing wheel hub incline conveying technologies are insufficient in terms of efficiency, cost, and reliability, and a new technological solution is urgently needed to overcome these challenges and achieve more efficient, economical, and stable wheel hub incline conveying.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] This utility model provides an appendix. Figures 1-6A hub climbing mechanism includes a bracket 1 and a driving component. The bracket 1 has a plurality of rotating shaft structures 2 arranged along the direction of the bracket 1. The driving component and the rotating shaft structures 2 are connected in a transmission manner. The rotating shaft structures 2 are provided with a chain 3 that is connected in a transmission manner with them. The driving component drives the chain 3 to move through the rotating shaft structures 2.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the bracket 1 is used to support and fix the entire climbing mechanism, while the driving component provides power to enable the mechanism to operate, such as a motor. The bracket 1 has multiple rotating shaft structures 2 arranged along the direction of the bracket 1. The rotating shaft structures 2 are the key to realizing the climbing function. They are arranged along the direction of the bracket 1 to adapt to the climbing needs. The driving component transmits power to the rotating shaft structures 2, causing the rotating shaft structures 2 to rotate.
[0031] A chain 3 is mounted on the rotating shaft structure 2. There can be one or more chains 3, which are connected to the rotating shaft structure 2 in a driving connection, meaning the chains 3 move as the rotating shaft structure 2 rotates. The drive unit drives the chain 3 through the rotating shaft structure 2, causing the chain 3 to engage with the wheel hub and move accordingly, thus achieving the upward conveying of the wheel hub. By using the rotating shaft structure 2 and the chain 3, the irregular contact surface of the chain 3 provides stable force transmission, reducing slippage during the upward process, especially on steep slopes. Compared to traditional roller conveyors or belt conveyors, chain drive is generally more efficient because it reduces friction loss and transmits power more directly. The structure of the chain 3 and the rotating shaft is relatively simple, with lower maintenance and replacement costs, helping to reduce long-term operating costs. This wheel hub upward conveying mechanism is designed to solve problems existing in traditional upward conveying technologies, such as slippage, large space occupation, high cost, and complex maintenance, improving the efficiency and reliability of upward conveying through innovative structural design.
[0032] In this embodiment, the support 1 includes a horizontal support 5 and an inclined support 6, with one side of the inclined support 6 hinged to the horizontal support 5. Specifically, the wheel hub is conveyed from the horizontal support 5 and then enters the inclined support 6 to begin its climbing motion. To accommodate multi-angle wheel hub climbing, the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 can be hinged via a pivot. The horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 can be adjusted at a certain angle along the pivot. By adjusting the angle of the inclined support 6, the force transmission during the climbing process can be optimized, slippage can be reduced, and climbing efficiency can be improved. This design allows the mechanism to be folded or adjusted to a minimum space-occupying state when not in use, thereby saving space on the production site.
[0033] In this embodiment, the chains 3 on the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 are staggered. Currently, some roller 11 or conveyor belt conveyors encounter situations where the hub reaches the end of the horizontal support 5 and cannot be conveyed up the inclined plane. To enable the hub to move from the horizontal support 5 to the inclined support 6, the chains 3 on the two supports 1 are staggered and parallel. The chains 3 of the horizontal support 5 are positioned between the chains 3 of the inclined support 6. This staggered arrangement ensures synchronous transmission of the chains 3 on the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6, guaranteeing the coordination and stability of the entire climbing mechanism during operation. During the climbing process, the staggered chains 3 provide better grip, reducing slippage on the inclined support 6. Especially at large climbing angles, the staggered design of the chains 3 on the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 not only improves the climbing efficiency and stability of the hub climbing mechanism but also reduces maintenance costs and improves safety.
[0034] In this embodiment, the angle formed by the horizontal plane of the horizontal support 5 and the inclined plane of the inclined support 6 is between 150° and 180°. Specifically, by adjusting the angle between the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 to between 150° and 180°, the contact area with the slope can be increased, friction can be increased, slippage can be reduced, thereby improving the climbing ability. When working on steep slopes, an angle close to 180° helps maintain the stability of items or equipment, reduces the risk of slippage or tipping, and thus improves the safety of operation. Under conditions close to 180°, since the force transmission is more direct, energy consumption during the climbing process can be reduced, improving energy efficiency. The angle between the horizontal support 5 and the inclined support 6 is designed to be between 150° and 180° mainly to improve the climbing ability, stability, and safety of the climbing mechanism, while also taking into account energy consumption and adaptability.
[0035] In this embodiment, the vertical height of the inclined support 6 is between 1m and 2.5m. Specifically, the vertical height of the inclined support 6 is designed to be between 1m and 2.5m to meet the height requirements of different working environments, providing sufficient working space and adaptability. This height range ensures the stability and safety of the inclined support 6 during use, preventing risks caused by excessive height or height. This design allows the inclined support 6 to have a large load-bearing capacity and lifting range, suitable for various load and height adjustment needs.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the chain 3 has a clamping plate 4 on its side end. Specifically, several pairs of clamping plates 4 are spaced apart on the side end of the chain 3. During the conveying of the hub or other products, the clamping plates 4 hold the products in place, so that the products move together with the chain 3, further preventing the hub or other products from sliding downhill during the uphill movement.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and 6 As shown, the rotating shaft structure 2 includes a main rotating shaft 7 and several driven rotating shafts 8 connected by a transmission. A driving component is connected to the main rotating shaft 7. The main rotating shaft 7 is equipped with chain teeth connecting to the chain 3, and the driven rotating shafts 8 are equipped with connecting parts 10 connecting to the chain 3. Each driven rotating shaft 8 is also equipped with a sleeved roller 11. Specifically, the driving component first drives the main rotating shaft 7 to rotate, transmitting power to the driven rotating shafts 8, achieving power transmission and synchronous movement. The main rotating shaft 7 and the driven rotating shafts 8 are typically connected at intervals via couplings, gears, belts, or other transmission mechanisms to ensure effective power transmission. When the main rotating shaft 7 rotates, power is transmitted to the chain 3 for rotation via chain gears 9, and the chain 3 moves on the connecting parts 10 of each driven rotating shaft 8. The connector 10 provides a fixed path for the chain 3, ensuring that it moves along a predetermined trajectory on the rotating shaft structure 2, thus achieving precise guidance. The chain 3's embedding within the connector 10 reduces its sway during operation, improving transmission stability. The design of the connector 10 makes the fit between the chain 3 and the rotating shaft structure 2 more compact, helping to optimize the spatial layout of the entire climbing mechanism. Rollers 11 are connected to both sides of the connector 10, rotating synchronously with the rotating shaft 8. The rollers 11 are positioned to facilitate contact with the hub or other components, providing support and propelling them upwards. Each rotating shaft 8 is equipped with rollers 11. Figure 3 For ease of illustration, the interval of roller 11 is omitted.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support 1 is further provided with a tensioning seat 12, which is movably connected to the chain 3. The tensioning seat 12 is located on the lower side of the support 1, and the chain 3 is sleeved on the tensioning seat 12. The main function of the tensioning seat 12 is to maintain the appropriate tension of the chain 3 and prevent the chain 3 from jumping or derailing due to slack during operation. The tensioning seat 12 allows the tension of the chain 3 to be adjusted to adapt to different working conditions and wear conditions, and facilitates maintenance and adjustment.
