Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of accumulation and conveying technology, and in particular to a miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] An accumulation conveyor line is a type of conveyor that can both transport items and temporarily store them on the conveyor line, preventing further transport and adjusting the spacing or speed of the items. The items transported cannot be too small. The drive method can be a motor or an electric roller, and the accumulation method can be electrically controlled or implemented using stops.

[0003] However, existing suspended conveyor systems cannot flexibly adjust the spacing between adjacent items according to their size when temporarily storing them, which can lead to collisions and damage during transportation.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device with a simple structure and safe and reliable transportation.

[0006] The miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device provided by this utility model includes: a support frame, and an annular track mounted on the top of the support frame, wherein limit grooves are provided at the top and bottom edge of the annular track.

[0007] The pulleys are provided in two sets, and the two sets of pulleys are symmetrically installed on the annular track. A drive motor for driving the pulleys to rotate is installed on the annular track. A conveyor belt is installed on the two pulleys, and iron plates are installed on the conveyor belt.

[0008] A number of accumulation racks are provided, and the accumulation racks are evenly arranged on a circular track and slide in cooperation with the circular track. Each accumulation rack is provided with a connecting mechanism that cooperates with the iron plate transmission. An infrared rangefinder is embedded on one side of the accumulation rack, and a reflector is installed on the other side of the accumulation rack. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the accumulation rack facing the circular track. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod faces the bottom plate of the circular track and is fixedly installed with a rubber pad.

[0009] A blocking mechanism for controlling the release of the stacking rack is mounted on a circular track.

[0010] Preferably, a hook is installed at the end of the stacking rack that is away from the circular track.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a sleeve that is movably inserted into the stacking rack, and a return spring is installed inside the sleeve. A solenoid block is fixedly installed at one end of the return spring that passes through the sleeve. The solenoid block is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to a battery. Both the controller and the battery are fixedly installed on the stacking rack. The controller is electrically connected to both the electric telescopic rod and the infrared rangefinder.

[0012] Preferably, a pin is symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the stacking rack, and a ball head is mounted on the end of the pin facing the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the ball head is inserted into the limiting groove, and the diameter of the ball head is equal to the width of the limiting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the blocking mechanism includes a hanger, which is fixedly installed on the annular track, and a rotary motor is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hanger, with a baffle fixedly installed on the output shaft of the rotary motor.

[0015] Compared with related technologies, the miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device. By setting an infrared rangefinder and a reflector on the accumulation rack, two adjacent accumulation racks can be set up to maintain a set distance during the suspension or conveying process. The set distance can be adjusted by the controller to control the ranging of the infrared detector, which is very convenient.

[0017] 2. A connecting mechanism is installed on the stacking rack. The connecting mechanism uses a sleeve, a return spring, a solenoid block, a controller, and a battery to work together. When the rack needs to be moved for transport, the solenoid block is attracted to the iron sheet by electromagnetic force and moves with the conveyor belt. When temporary storage is required, the solenoid block is de-energized and released from the iron sheet by the pull of the return spring, thus breaking the transmission and achieving suspension. Then, the electric telescopic rod is used to press the rubber pad onto the circular track to stop the rack. The overall structure is simple and the suspension is safe and reliable.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device, which includes:

[0028] The support frame 1 and the annular track 2 mounted on the top of the support frame 1, wherein the top and bottom edge of the annular track 2 are provided with limiting grooves 201;

[0029] The pulley 3 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of pulley 3 are symmetrically installed on the annular track 2. The annular track 2 is equipped with a drive motor 21 for driving the pulley 3 to rotate. The two pulleys 3 are equipped with a conveyor belt 31, and iron plates 32 are installed on the conveyor belt 31.

[0030] A plurality of stacking racks 4 are provided, and the plurality of stacking racks 4 are evenly arranged on the annular track 2 and slide in cooperation with the annular track 2. The stacking racks 4 are provided with a connecting mechanism 5 that is in transmission cooperation with the iron sheet 32. An infrared rangefinder 6 is embedded on one side of the stacking racks 4, and a reflector 7 is installed on the other side of the stacking racks 4. An electric telescopic rod 41 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the end of the stacking racks 4 facing the annular track 2. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 41 faces the bottom plate of the annular track 2 and is fixedly installed with a rubber pad 42. A hook 43 is installed on the end of the stacking racks 4 away from the annular track 2.

[0031] The blocking mechanism 8, used to control the release of the stacking rack 4, is mounted on the annular track 2.

[0032] The connecting mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 51, which is movably inserted into the stacking rack 4. A return spring 52 is installed inside the sleeve 51. A solenoid block 53 is fixedly installed at one end of the return spring 52 that passes through the sleeve 51. The solenoid block 53 is electrically connected to a controller 54. The controller 54 is electrically connected to a battery 55. Both the controller 54 and the battery 55 are fixedly installed on the stacking rack 4. The controller 54 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 41 and the infrared rangefinder 6.

[0033] It should be noted that during use, after the items to be transported are suspended on the stacking rack 4 using hooks 43, the drive motor 21 is started to drive the pulley 3, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 31 to move on the circular track 2. Then, the controller 54 controls the solenoid block 53 to be energized. After being energized, the solenoid block 53 is magnetically attracted to the iron plate 32, thereby moving along with the conveyor belt 31. During the movement, adjacent stacking racks 4 move at a fixed distance through the cooperation of the infrared rangefinder 6 and the reflector 7. When the racks move to the blocking mechanism 8, the controller 54 controls the... When the solenoid block 53 is de-energized, the magnetic attraction between it and the iron plate 32 is broken. Then, the electric telescopic rod 41 is controlled to extend the rubber pad 42 until it presses against the bottom plate of the circular track 2, thus achieving hovering braking. When the front stacking rack 4 is hovering, the rear stacking rack 4 will also hover synchronously after the infrared rangefinder 6 detects that it has reached the set distance from the former, thus avoiding collisions between items. Then, the blocking mechanism 8 releases the blocked stacking rack 4, and the rear stacking rack 4 moves forward again, thereby achieving stable stacking and conveying. The overall structure is simple and the hovering is safe and reliable.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A pin 44 is symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the stacking rack 4, and a ball head 45 is mounted on one end of the pin 44 facing the limiting groove 201;

[0035] The ball head 45 is inserted into the limiting groove 201, and the diameter of the ball head 45 is equal to the width of the limiting groove 201.

[0036] It should be noted that when the stacking rack 4 moves, the ball head 45 simultaneously extends into the limiting groove 201 and slides synchronously along the limiting groove 201, thereby making the stacking rack 4 move more smoothly.

[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The blocking mechanism 8 includes a hanger 81, which is fixedly installed on the annular track 2, and a rotary motor 82 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hanger 81. A baffle 83 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the rotary motor 82.

[0038] It should be noted that when the blocking mechanism 8 is in use, when it is necessary to block the stacking rack 4 that is close to the hanger 81, the rotary motor 82 drives the baffle 83 to rotate to the position directly in front of the infrared rangefinder 6. When the set distance is reached, the connecting mechanism 5 is disconnected from the iron plate 32, and the rack is suspended. When it is necessary to release the blocked stacking rack 4, the rotary motor 82 is controlled to drive the baffle 83 to rotate away from the front side of the stacking rack 4.

[0039] It should also be noted that when the infrared rangefinder 6 detects that the distance to the front has reached the set distance, it feeds the distance signal back to the controller 54. The controller 54 then controls the solenoid block 53 to de-energize, thereby disconnecting it from the iron plate 32 and stopping the forward conveying. The spacing between two adjacent stacking racks 4 can be set by adjusting the detection set distance of the infrared rangefinder 6, which is very convenient.

[0040] The working principle of the miniature suspended accumulation and conveying device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0041] In use, after the items to be transported are suspended on the stacking rack 4 using hooks 43, the drive motor 21 is started to drive the pulley 3 to move the conveyor belt 31 on the circular track 2. Then, the controller 54 controls the solenoid block 53 to be energized. After being energized, the solenoid block 53 is magnetically attracted to the iron plate 32, thereby moving with the conveyor belt 31. During the movement, two adjacent stacking racks 4 move at a fixed distance through the cooperation of the infrared rangefinder 6 and the reflector 7. When the racks move to the blocking mechanism 8, the controller 54 controls the energization of the mechanism. When the magnetic block 53 is de-energized, it disconnects from the magnetic attraction with the iron sheet 32. Then, the electric telescopic rod 41 is controlled to extend the rubber pad 42 until it presses against the bottom plate of the circular track 2, thus achieving hovering braking. When the front stacking rack 4 is hovering, the rear stacking rack 4 is also hovering synchronously after the infrared rangefinder 6 detects that it has reached the set distance from the former, thus avoiding collisions with the items. Then, the blocking mechanism 8 releases the blocked stacking rack 4, and the rear stacking rack 4 moves forward again, thereby achieving stable stacking and conveying. The overall structure is simple and the hovering is safe and reliable.

[0042] When the blocking mechanism 8 is in use, when it is necessary to block the stacking rack 4 that is close to the hanger 81, the rotary motor 82 drives the baffle 83 to rotate to the position directly in front of the infrared rangefinder 6. When the set distance is reached, the connecting mechanism 5 is disconnected from the iron plate 32, and the rack is suspended. When it is necessary to release the blocked stacking rack 4, the rotary motor 82 is controlled to drive the baffle 83 to rotate away from the front side of the stacking rack 4.

[0043] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
