Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packing and conveying, and in particular to an automatic material handling conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] After processing, the semi-finished packages are often packed in open-top, strip-shaped packaging boxes to form semi-finished packages. Finally, a packaging machine is used to package them into finished packages. During the packaging process, conveyors and conveyor belts are used to transport the semi-finished packages. Due to workplace constraints, the output end of the conveyor is perpendicular to the input end of the conveyor belt, with the conveyor's direction of transport being the left-right direction. The conveyor extends in the left-right direction, and the conveyor belt extends in the front-back direction. The left end of the conveyor connects to the front end of the conveyor belt, and the rear end of the conveyor belt connects to the input end of the packaging machine. The semi-finished packages lie horizontally in the front-back direction. The semi-finished packages are conveyed to the right end of the conveyor and fall onto the front end of the conveyor belt from the left end. When these packages fall from the conveyor onto the conveyor belt, because the conveyor moves horizontally and the conveyor belt moves vertically, the packages, which are horizontally positioned, may fall laterally onto the conveyor belt due to the conveying force. However, the packaging machine requires the conveyor belt to vertically guide the packages into its input end. Therefore, a worker is needed at the bend between the conveyor and the conveyor belt to manage the packages and ensure they move vertically. The semi-finished products are vertically output from the conveyor belt and enter the input end of the packaging machine. However, this method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has high labor costs. Therefore, there is a method for automatically turning the semi-finished product packaging by 90 degrees. An existing 90-degree automatic material handling conveyor belt includes a conveyor, a 90-degree turning machine, and a conveyor belt. The 90-degree turning machine is located between the conveyor and the conveyor belt, and the output end of the conveyor is connected to the input end of the 90-degree turning machine, and the output end of the 90-degree turning machine is connected to the input end of the conveyor belt. The conveyor slides on the 90-degree turning machine to transport the semi-finished product packaging onto the conveyor belt. The 90-degree turning machine includes a concave plate, with two sides of the concave plate... Several rotating shafts are evenly arranged between the walls. Both ends of each shaft are connected to the inner wall of the concave plate via bearings. One end of each shaft is located between belts, which are installed between two pulleys. One pulley is connected to the output of a drive motor, enabling the drive motor to drive the pulleys and belt to rotate the shafts. A rotating motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the concave plate. A first gear is fixedly connected to the output of the rotating motor. The first gear is connected to a second gear via a chain drive. The second gear is fixedly installed on a connecting shaft, with driving wheels fixedly installed at both ends. Multiple driven wheels are also provided at the bottom of the concave plate. During operation, semi-finished products are slidably conveyed onto a conveyor belt via a 90-degree turning mechanism. The conveyor belt then vertically conveys the semi-finished products to the input end of the packaging machine.
[0003] However, the automatic material handling conveyor belt mentioned above achieves the turning of the semi-finished product packing by using an additional rotating motor to transport the packing onto the conveyor belt. This requires additional power to drive the semi-finished product packing to turn 90 degrees, which increases electricity consumption and raises production costs.
[0004] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the problem, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic material handling conveyor belt that does not require additional power to make the semi-finished product packing turn 90 degrees and has low production costs.
[0006] To achieve its purpose, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic material handling conveyor belt includes a conveyor and a conveyor belt. The output end of the conveyor and the input end of the conveyor belt are vertically arranged and connected by a 90-degree turning structure with the conveying direction of the conveyor as the left-right direction. The 90-degree turning structure has a transfer conveyor belt, guide strips, and a mounting frame. The mounting frame is located between the output end of the conveyor and the input end of the conveyor belt. The transfer conveyor belt extends in the front-back direction and is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. The output end of the conveyor is connected to the input end of the transfer conveyor belt. Connected to the input end of the conveyor belt, the guide bar is mounted on the mounting frame and suspended on the transfer conveyor belt. The guide bar has a guide plate and a stop plate arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides. The guide plate is on the right side, and the first end of the guide plate is close to the output end of the conveyor. The stop plate is located to the left of the first end of the guide plate. The second end of the guide plate extends along the front and rear direction of the transfer conveyor belt. A transmission channel is formed between the guide plate and the stop plate, which allows the semi-finished product packing to extend in the front and rear direction and to change the packing from horizontal to vertical conveying. Both the guide plate and the stop plate are mounted on the mounting frame in a manner that allows for left and right lateral horizontal adjustment.
[0008] The mounting frame is a strip-shaped structure extending in the front-to-back direction. The top surface of the mounting frame has mounting strips extending in the front-to-back direction and extending beyond the left and right ends of the conveyor belt. The first end of the guide plate and the first end of the stop plate are locked to the mounting strips. The guide plate and the stop plate are located on the rear side of the conveyor. The mounting strip has adjustment structures on the opposite sides of the guide plate and the stop plate that allow the guide plate and the stop plate to move relative to each other or in opposite directions.
[0009] The guide plate has an arc-shaped section and a vertical section. The arc-shaped section is an arc-shaped wave-shaped sheet structure with several arc-shaped grooves. The arc-shaped section is inclined from right to left and rearward and is located above the transfer conveyor belt. The right end of the arc-shaped section is locked together with the mounting strip on the right side, and the right end of the arc-shaped section is connected to the rear left side of the conveyor. The vertical section is a strip-shaped sheet extending in the front-back direction, and the left end of the arc-shaped section is connected to the front end of the vertical section.
[0010] The stop plate is located on the left side of the arc-shaped section. The stop plate has a connecting section and a material-blocking section. The material-blocking section is inclined backward from right to left, and the inclination direction of the material-blocking section is consistent with the inclination direction of the arc-shaped section. The connecting section is inclined backward from left to right, and the right end of the connecting section is arc-shapedly connected to the right end of the material-blocking section. The left end of the connecting section is locked to the mounting strip on the left side. The material-blocking section is located within the range of the transfer conveyor belt, and the material-blocking section and the arc-shaped section form the aforementioned transmission channel.
[0011] The adjustment structure has a fixed block, a limiting block, and a top holding rod. The opposite sides of the guide plate and the stop plate are the top holding surfaces. The fixed block is fixed on the mounting strip. The top holding rod lies horizontally through the fixed block and is correspondingly held on the top holding surface. The limiting block extends from top to bottom into the fixed block and is screwed together with the fixed block and presses against the top surface of the top holding rod.
[0012] The guide plate has several adjustment structures arranged at intervals along the front-back direction on its right side, and the top holding rods on the right side of the guide plate are all held against the bottom of the arc-shaped groove.
[0013] This novel automatic material handling conveyor belt allows semi-finished product bundles to be horizontally fed into the right end of the conveyor along the front-to-back direction and transported from right to left to the front end of the transfer conveyor belt. If the semi-finished product bundles are horizontally fed into the front end of the transfer conveyor belt along the left-to-right direction, they are vertically output from the rear end of the transfer conveyor belt along the front-to-back direction under the guidance of the guide bars. Compared with existing technologies, the guide bars enable the semi-finished product bundles to turn 90 degrees without power, reducing electricity consumption. Moreover, the transfer conveyor belt is a straight conveyor, which is simpler in structure and lower in manufacturing cost than a 90-degree turning conveyor, thereby reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] An automatic material handling conveyor belt, such as Figure 1As shown, the system includes a conveyor 1 and a conveyor belt. The output end of the conveyor 1 and the input end of the conveyor belt are vertically arranged, and the output end of the conveyor 1 and the input end of the conveyor belt are connected by a 90-degree turning structure. With the conveying direction of the conveyor 1 as the left-right direction, the conveyor 1 extends in the left-right direction. The method by which the conveyor 1 conveys the semi-finished product packages extending in the front-back direction from right to left, and the method by which the conveyor belt conveys the semi-finished product packages vertically in the front-back direction, are both well-known technologies to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In application, the semi-finished product packages fall onto the right end of the conveyor 1, and the semi-finished product packages are output from the left end of the conveyor 1 and transferred vertically to the conveyor belt in the front-back direction through the 90-degree turning structure.
[0017] The 90-degree turning structure includes a transfer conveyor belt 2, a guide bar, and a mounting frame. The mounting frame is located between the output end of the conveyor 1 and the input end of the conveyor belt. The transfer conveyor belt 2 extends in the front-to-back direction and is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. The output end of the conveyor 1 is connected to the input end of the transfer conveyor belt 2, and the output end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 is connected to the input end of the conveyor belt. The guide bar is mounted on the mounting frame and suspended above the transfer conveyor belt 2. The guide bar has a guide plate 3 and a stop plate 4 arranged opposite each other, with the guide plate 3 on the right side. Specifically, the mounting frame is a strip-shaped structure extending in the front-to-back direction, with the transfer conveyor belt 2 located on the left side of the conveyor. The specific structure of the mounting frame... The method of mounting the transfer conveyor belt 2 in a front-to-back direction on the mounting frame is a known technology and will not be elaborated here. The front end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 is connected to the left end of the conveyor 1. The conveyor belt extends in the front-to-back direction and is located outside the rear side of the transfer conveyor belt 2. The rear end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 is connected to the front end of the conveyor belt. The top surface of the mounting frame has mounting strips 5 extending in the front-to-back direction and extending beyond the left and right ends of the transfer conveyor belt 2. The first end of the guide plate 3 and the first end of the stop plate 4 are locked on the mounting strips 5. In application, the semi-finished product package output from the left end of the conveyor 1 falls onto the front end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 and is transferred to the conveyor belt under the conveyor belt 2.
[0018] The first end of the guide plate 3 is close to the output end of the conveyor 1, and the second end of the guide plate 3 extends along the front-back direction of the transfer conveyor belt 2. A transmission channel is formed between the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 to allow the finished packaged goods to extend along the front-back direction and to change the conveying from horizontal to vertical. Specifically, the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 are located on the rear side of the conveyor 1. The guide plate 3 has an arc-shaped section 31 and a vertical section 32. The arc-shaped section 31 has an arc-shaped wave-shaped sheet structure with several arc-shaped grooves. Each arc-shaped groove is a convex arc groove protruding to the left. The arc-shaped section 31 is inclined from right to left and rearward above the transfer conveyor belt 2. The right end of the arc-shaped section 31 is locked together with the mounting strip 5 on the right side. That is, the right end of the arc-shaped section 31 has a through-hole, and the mounting strip 5 on the right side is recessed at the position corresponding to the mounting hole. The guide plate 3 is secured to the right mounting strip 5 by passing through the fixing hole and locking hole in sequence with the mounting bolts and is suspended above the transfer conveyor belt 2. The right end of the arc section 31 is connected to the rear left end of the conveyor 1. The vertical section 32 is a strip-shaped body extending in the front-back direction, and the left end of the arc section 31 is connected to the front end of the vertical section 32. In application, the semi-finished product bundles falling onto the front end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 move backward along the left side of the arc section 31 and the vertical section 32 and driven by the transfer conveyor belt 2. If the semi-finished product bundles lie horizontally on the front end of the transfer conveyor belt 2 in the left-right direction, the arc section 31 guides the semi-finished product bundles to tilt them into the range of the vertical section 32. The vertical section 32 enables the semi-finished product bundles to extend in the front-back direction and finally be vertically output from the rear end of the transfer conveyor belt 2.
[0019] The baffle plate 4 is located on the left side of the arc-shaped section 31 and is mounted on the mounting strip 5 on the left side. The baffle plate 4 has a connecting section 41 and a baffle section 42. The baffle section 42 is inclined backward from right to left, and the inclination direction of the baffle section 42 is consistent with the inclination direction of the arc-shaped section 31. The connecting section 41 is inclined backward from left to right, and the right end of the connecting section 41 and the right end of the baffle section 42 are connected by an arc transition section. The left end of the connecting section 41 is locked on the mounting strip 5 on the left side. The way the left end of the connecting section 41 is locked on the left mounting strip 5 is similar to the way the arc-shaped section 31 and the right mounting strip 5 are locked together, which will not be elaborated here. The baffle section 42 is suspended within the range of the transfer conveyor belt 2, and the right side of the baffle section 42 and the left side of the arc-shaped section 31 form the above-mentioned transmission channel. In application, when conveyor 1 transports the semi-finished product package to the transfer conveyor belt 2, it enters the transmission channel. At the same time, under the action of the baffle plate 4, the semi-finished product package is not easily transmitted from the left side of the transfer conveyor belt, and the semi-finished product package can also be transported within the arc section 31 and enter the vertical section 32.
[0020] Both the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 are mounted on the mounting frame in a manner that allows for lateral adjustment. Specifically, the right end of the guide plate 3 and the left end of the stop plate 4 are each equipped with an adjustment structure 6 mounted on the mounting strip 5, enabling the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 to move relative to or away from each other. The adjustment structure 6 comprises a fixing block 61, a limiting block 62, and a supporting rod 63. The opposite sides of the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 form the supporting surface. The fixing block 61 is fixed to the mounting strip 5. The supporting rod 63 lies horizontally through the fixing block 61 and supports the supporting surface. The limiting block 62 extends from top to bottom into the fixing block 61 and is screwed together with the fixing block 61, pressing against the top surface of the supporting rod 63. The top surface of the 1 is recessed with a screw groove, and the bottom of the screw groove is recessed with an opening. The mounting strip 5 is recessed with a screw hole corresponding to the position of the opening. The bolt passes through the opening and the screw hole to lock the fixing block 61 and the mounting strip together. The inner side wall of the screw groove has an internal thread, and the outer side wall of the limiting block 62 has an external thread that engages with the internal thread. The outer side wall of the fixing block 61 is recessed with a through hole that passes through the screw groove laterally and allows the top holding rod 63 to pass through. Preferably, the right side of the guide plate 3 is provided with several of the above-mentioned adjustment structures 6 spaced apart in the front-back direction, and the top holding rods 63 on the right side of the guide plate 3 are held against the bottom of the arc groove, and the top holding rods 63 on the left side of the stop plate 4 are held against the left side of the transition section. In application, the fixing block 61 is locked onto the mounting strip 5, and each top holding rod 63 is passed through the through hole. The size of the transmission channel is adjusted according to the size of the semi-finished product packaging, that is, the relative distance between the guide plate 3 and the stop plate 4 is adjusted. Then, each top holding rod 63 is held on the top holding surface, that is, the right side of the guide plate and the left side of the stop plate 4 are both held on the top holding rod 63. Then, the limiting block 62 is screwed together with the screw groove of the fixing block 61 and held on the top surface of the top holding rod 63, so that the top holding rod 63 cannot move, thus completing the installation.
[0021] In this novel automatic material handling conveyor belt, semi-finished product bundles are horizontally fed into the right end of conveyor 1 in a front-to-back direction and transported from right to left to the front end of transfer conveyor belt 2. If the semi-finished product bundles are horizontally fed into the front end of transfer conveyor belt 2 in a left-to-right direction, under the guidance of the arc section 31, the semi-finished product bundles are inclined into the transmission channel, and under the guidance of the vertical section 32, the semi-finished product bundles are vertically output from the rear end of transfer conveyor belt 2 in a front-to-back direction. Compared with the prior art, the 90-degree turn of the semi-finished product bundles is achieved without power by using guide bars, reducing power consumption. Moreover, the transfer conveyor belt 2 is a straight conveyor, which is simpler in structure and has a lower manufacturing cost than a 90-degree turning conveyor, thereby reducing production costs.
[0022] In this invention, the conveyor has an input conveyor belt and an input conveyor frame. The input conveyor belt is mounted on the input conveyor frame and rotates in the left-right direction. A stop bar is connected to the rear side of the input conveyor frame and receives the right end of the guide plate 3. The stop bar extends in the left-right direction. In application, when the semi-finished product packages enter the input conveyor belt for conveying, the stop bar facilitates the semi-finished product packages to enter the range of the guide plate 3 and prevents the semi-finished product packages from falling off the input conveyor belt.
[0023] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
