Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transportation devices, in particular to a transportation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In industrial production, welding is a common connection process widely used in the manufacturing process of various products. After the welding of barrels is completed, the product usually has a straight weld. During the welding process, the temperature of the weld and its surrounding area will rise significantly. For example, the temperature of the weld and its surrounding area of low carbon steel can reach above 1600℃ during welding, while the temperature of the adjacent area decreases sharply. These weld areas will temporarily maintain a high temperature due to high-temperature heating during the welding process. Before the weld cools down, if it is directly placed on a conventional conveyor belt for transportation, it may cause a series of problems.

[0003] Direct contact between high-temperature welds and conveyor belts can cause thermal damage to the conveyor belt material, such as deformation, aging, and even melting, which not only shortens the service life of the conveyor belt, but also may affect the stability and safety of product transportation.

[0004] To avoid these problems, the traditional solution is usually to wait for the weld to cool down to a safe temperature after welding is completed before transportation, but this will significantly reduce production efficiency. Another method is to use special conveyor belts that can withstand high temperatures, but these conveyor belts are often expensive and may still face performance degradation problems when working in high-temperature environments for a long time. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a transportation device that can transport products with high-temperature welds after welding.

[0013] The application is further provided that a handle is further provided on the rotating wheel mounting frame.

[0014] The application is further provided that the conveying device further comprises a magnetic plate, the magnetic plate is arranged on the side of the two conveying belts away from the product.

[0027] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , a conveying device for conveying products with straight welds after welding, characterized by comprising two conveying belts 1 running synchronously, and a gap J between the two conveying belts 1 for avoiding the weld.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the two conveying belts 1 are synchronized by the same driving system, ensuring that the products can move stably and continuously during transportation. The distance between the two conveying belts 1 is precisely set to form a narrow gap J, which is slightly larger than or equal to the width of the straight weld in the product. Such design aims to avoid direct contact between the conveying belt 1 and the weld during transportation, thereby preventing any possible damage or deformation to the weld.

[0030] The material of the conveying belt 1 can be selected according to the characteristics and needs of the transported products, such as using wear-resistant and anti-skid rubber material to enhance the durability of the conveying belt 1 and the stability of the products. In addition, the running speed of the conveying belt 1 can also be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the parameters of the driving system to adapt to the transportation needs of different products.

[0031] In another preferred embodiment, a set of guide mechanisms is added between the two conveying belts 1, which are composed of multiple guide rollers evenly distributed on the side of the conveying belt 1 opposite to the product, and maintain a certain distance from the conveying belt 1. This enhances the stability during transportation, preventing deviation or tilting due to irregular product shape or slight fluctuations in the conveying belt 1. When fluctuations occur, the rollers provide support to the conveying belt 1.

[0032] The present application effectively avoids direct contact between the conveyor belts 1 and the weld by designing a gap J between the two conveyor belts 1, thereby reducing the damage or deformation that the weld may suffer during transportation and improving the quality and reliability of the product.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1 both conveyor belts 1 are inclined towards the gap J. Specifically, the inclination angles of both conveyor belts 1 are precisely calculated, and for barrel-shaped products, both conveyor belts 1 are inclined towards the weld on both sides, forming a stable support for the product from both sides, making the force on the product on the conveyor belts 1 more uniform, reducing the risk of unstable transportation or product damage caused by uneven force.

[0034] Both conveyor belts 1 are inclined towards the gap J between them, and this inclination angle is precisely calculated, especially for the transportation of barrel-shaped products. Both conveyor belts 1 are inclined towards the weld on both sides, forming a unique "V" or "U" shaped support structure, which provides stable support for barrel-shaped products from both sides. This design not only ensures that the force on the product on the conveyor belts 1 is more uniform, but also significantly reduces the risk of unstable transportation or product damage caused by uneven force.

[0035] Through the design of both conveyor belts 1 being inclined towards the weld on both sides, a stable support for barrel-shaped products from both sides is provided. This support structure effectively prevents the product from shaking and shifting during transportation, significantly improving the stability of transportation.

[0036] The inclined conveyor belt 1 design makes the force on the barrel-shaped product on the conveyor belt 1 more evenly distributed. This design reduces the situation of excessive force on a single point, avoids the wear and tear of the conveyor belt 1 or damage to the product caused by uneven force, and prolongs the service life of the conveyor belt 1.

[0037] Since the barrel-shaped product is stably supported on the conveyor belt 1, the risk of damage to the product caused by shaking or shifting is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of product damage. This is crucial for protecting the integrity and quality of the product.

[0038] Stable support and uniform force distribution enable the barrel-shaped product to move more smoothly along the conveyor belt 1, reducing downtime caused by unstable transportation. This improves transportation efficiency, enabling the production line to operate more efficiently.

[0039] This design has high adaptability and can be applied to barrel-shaped products of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the inclination angle of the conveyor belt 1 and the width of the gap J, it can flexibly adapt to the transportation needs of different products.

[0040] As a result of reducing the uneven force leading to the wear and tear of the conveyor belt 1 and product damage, the cost of maintenance and replacement of the conveyor belt 1 is reduced. At the same time, the stable transportation process also reduces the production loss caused by downtime maintenance.

[0041] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1 , the conveying surfaces of both conveyor belts 1 are arc-shaped. The design of the arc-shaped conveying surface is based on in-depth research on the force distribution and dynamic characteristics during the transportation of barrel-shaped products. By accurately calculating the curvature and radius of the arc, it can ensure that the products are more evenly and stably supported on the conveyor belt 1, while reducing the transportation problems caused by uneven force.

[0042] The arc-shaped conveying surface can more effectively disperse the pressure of the products on the conveyor belt 1, reducing the wear and tear of the conveyor belt 1 or product damage caused by excessive force on a single point. This design makes the products more stable during transportation, reducing the risk of shaking and deviation.

[0043] The arc-shaped conveying surface helps the products move more smoothly along the conveyor belt 1. Compared with the flat conveyor belt 1, the arc-shaped design can reduce the frictional resistance between the products and the conveyor belt 1, thereby improving transportation efficiency. This means that more products can be transported in the same time, improving production efficiency.

[0044] The arc-shaped conveying surface design can better adapt to products of different shapes and sizes. Since the curvature of the arc can be adjusted, the shape of the conveyor belt 1 can be customized according to the specific needs of the products, ensuring that the products are optimally supported and stable during transportation.

[0045] The arc-shaped conveying surface design helps to reduce noise and vibration generated during transportation. This design can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, thereby reducing noise levels and providing a more comfortable transportation environment.

[0046] The arc-shaped conveying surface can reduce the safety risks caused by shaking or deviation of products during transportation. By providing more stable support, the arc-shaped conveying surface helps to prevent products from slipping or falling off the conveyor belt 1, thereby improving the safety of transportation.

[0047] As shown in Figures 2-5 , both conveyor belts 1 include a driving wheel 2, a driven wheel 3 and a conveyor belt, and the driving wheels 2 of both conveyor belts 1 are connected to the same motor 4 to realize synchronous rotation.

[0048] Each conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a driving wheel 2 made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure its long-term stable operation. The driving wheel 2 is connected to the motor 4, which drives the movement of the conveyor belt 1 through the rotational power of the motor 4. In addition to the driving wheel 2, each conveyor belt 1 is also equipped with a driven wheel 3, which is used to support and guide the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt is a component on the conveyor belt 1 used to carry and transport products. The conveyor belt is made of high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials to meet the needs of different environments and products. The conveyor belt forms a closed loop between the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3, and its movement is driven by the rotation of the driving wheel 2.

[0049] The driving wheels 2 of the two conveyor belts 1 are connected to the same motor 4 to ensure that they can rotate synchronously. The motor 4 is connected to the driving wheels 2 through a transmission mechanism, such as a reducer, a shaft coupling, etc., to transmit the rotational power.

[0050] To ensure the synchronization of the two conveyor belts 1, the system is also equipped with a control system. The control system can monitor the running state of the two conveyor belts 1 in real time, including speed, position, etc. When a speed difference or position deviation is found between the two conveyor belts 1, the control system will automatically adjust the speed or power of the motor 4 to ensure that they can rotate synchronously.

[0051] In some cases, the system may also be equipped with a synchronization monitoring device for real-time monitoring of the synchronization of the two conveyor belts 1. The synchronization monitoring device can detect the speed and position information of the two conveyor belts 1 through sensors or encoders, and feed back these information to the control system. The control system adjusts the operating parameters of the motor 4 according to the feedback information to ensure that the two conveyor belts 1 can always rotate synchronously.

[0052] Furthermore, the transportation device also includes a support, and the two conveyor belts 1 are installed on the support, which includes a rotating wheel mounting frame 5 and a support arm 8, one end of the support arm 8 is fixedly arranged, and the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 is connected to the other end of the support arm 8, the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 connects the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3, and the motor 4 is installed on the rotating wheel mounting frame 5.

[0053] The support arm 8 is the main load-bearing component of the support, and one end of the support arm 8 is fixedly arranged, usually installed on the ground, wall or other fixed structure. The length and strength of the support arm 8 are designed according to the size and load-bearing requirements of the conveyor belt 1 to ensure that it can stably support the conveyor belt 1 and the products on it.

[0054] The rotating wheel mounting frame 5 is connected to the other end of the support arm 8 for mounting and fixing the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3. It is usually made of solid metal material with sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the dynamic load during the operation of the conveyor belt 1. The design of the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 allows the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3 to be adjusted within a certain range in the horizontal plane to adapt to the transportation needs of different products.

[0055] The motor 4 is mounted on the rotating wheel mounting frame 5, and further, the part of the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 that mounts the motor 4 forms the motor 4 mounting frame, ensuring that the motor 4 can operate stably and transmit rotary power to the driving wheel 2.

[0056] The support provides stable support for the conveyor belt 1 through the support arm 8 and the rotating wheel mounting frame 5. This design ensures that the conveyor belt 1 will not deform or be damaged due to uneven stress during operation.

[0057] The rotating wheel mounting frame 5 allows the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3 to be adjusted within a certain range in the horizontal plane. This flexibility enables the transportation device to adapt to products of different sizes and shapes, ensuring that they are stably supported and transported on the conveyor belt 1.

[0058] The motor 4 is fixed on the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 through the motor 4 mounting frame, ensuring that the rotary power can be efficiently transmitted to the driving wheel 2. This design reduces energy loss and improves the operating efficiency of the transportation device.

[0059] The design of the support considers the convenience of maintenance. For example, the motor 4 mounting frame is usually designed to be easily disassembled and reinstalled for maintenance and replacement of the motor 4. In addition, the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 also facilitates the inspection and replacement of the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3.

[0060] The support arm 8 also includes a rotating part 9, one end of which is fixedly arranged, and the other end has a rotating shaft 91, and the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 is rotatably connected with the rotating part 9 with the rotating shaft 91 as the axis.

[0061] A handle 7 is also provided on the rotating wheel mounting frame 5.

[0062] The rotating part 9 allows the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 to rotate within a certain range. One end of the rotating part 9 is fixedly arranged on the support arm 8, and the other end has a rotating shaft 91, which becomes the axis of rotation of the rotating wheel mounting frame 5. Through the design of the rotating part 9, users can adjust the angle and direction of the conveyor belt 1 according to actual needs to adapt to the transportation needs of different products.

[0063] The rotating wheel mounting frame 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 91 of the rotating part 9 and rotates around the rotating shaft 91. Not only is it used to mount and fix the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3, but it also achieves flexible adjustment of the angle of the conveyor belt 1 through the design of the rotating part 9.

[0064] The handle 7 is provided on the rotating wheel mounting frame 5, providing a convenient control point for the user. Through the handle 7, the user can easily rotate the rotating wheel mounting frame 5, thereby adjusting the angle and direction of the conveyor belt 1.

[0065] Through the design of the rotating part 9 and the handle 7, the user can easily adjust the angle and direction of the conveyor belt 1 to adapt to the transportation needs of different products. This flexibility not only improves the efficiency of the transportation device, but also reduces the difficulty of transportation caused by different shapes and sizes of products.

[0066] The design of the handle 7 allows the user to easily adjust the angle of the conveyor belt 1 without the need for additional tools or equipment. This convenience improves the user's operation experience and reduces the difficulty and cost of operation.

[0067] Furthermore, the transportation device also includes a magnetic plate 6, which is provided on the side of the two conveyor belts 1 opposite the products.

[0068] The magnetic plate 6 is ingeniously arranged on the side of the two conveyor belts 1 opposite the products, i.e. the non-load-bearing surface of the conveyor belt 1. Such a layout not only does not interfere with the normal transportation of products, but also fully utilizes the function of the magnetic plate 6.

[0069] The magnetic plate 6 is made of high-performance magnetic material and has strong magnetic attraction. Its surface is specially treated to ensure the stability of the magnetic force and avoid direct friction with the conveyor belt 1 or other components, prolonging the service life.

[0070] The magnetic plate 6 forms an adsorption on the products during transportation, allowing the products to be more stably carried on the conveyor belt 1. During the rotation of the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 around the rotating shaft 91, the products do not fall off, enhancing the stability of the products and ensuring that they are stably carried on the conveyor belt 1 without falling off during the rotation or angle adjustment of the conveyor belt 1.

[0071] The magnetic plate 6 is ingeniously arranged on the non-load-bearing surface of the conveyor belt 1, adjacent to the side of the product transportation path. When the products, especially those containing metal components or can be slightly attracted by magnetic force, pass through, the magnetic plate 6 produces a slight adsorption effect on the products through its strong magnetic attraction.

[0072] Although this adsorption is not enough to cause movement or position change of the products, it is enough to form an additional stable layer between the products and the conveyor belt 1, enhancing the stability of the products on the conveyor belt 1.

[0073] When the rotating wheel mounting frame 5 is rotated around the rotation shaft 91 to adjust the angle or direction of the conveyor belt 1, the products may face the risk of falling due to inertia or change of center of gravity.

[0074] The introduction of the magnetic plate 6 ensures the stability of the products during rotation through its continuous magnetic attraction, effectively preventing the products from falling even in cases of large angle changes of the conveyor belt 1.

[0075] By ensuring the stability of the products on the conveyor belt 1, the magnetic plate 6 reduces the interruption and delay of transportation caused by product falling, improving the overall transportation efficiency.

[0076] The stability of the products during transportation is enhanced, reducing the risk of damage caused by falling or collision, protecting the integrity and quality of the products.

[0077] The introduction of the magnetic plate 6 makes users more confident when operating the transportation device, without worrying about the products falling due to insufficient stability, improving the overall user experience.

[0078] On the other hand, the magnetic plate 6 can adsorb metal debris, adsorbing some metal debris through the gap J. During the transportation of products, especially when the products are made of metal or have metal debris on the surface, the magnetic plate 6 can effectively adsorb these debris, preventing them from falling onto the conveyor belt 1 or the working environment, causing pollution or damage. If the metal debris falls directly on the conveyor belt 1, it may scratch or wear the surface of the conveyor belt 1, affecting its service life and performance. The presence of the magnetic plate 6 effectively prevents this situation, thus protecting the integrity of the conveyor belt 1. The magnetic plate 6 can automatically adsorb metal debris without manual intervention, thus saving cleaning time and labor costs. This not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the possibility of interrupting transportation due to cleaning work.

[0079] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the utility model, not limited to the protection scope of the utility model, so: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
