Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller conveyor technology, specifically a roller conveyor that can automatically unload materials according to the type of defective products on the production line. Background Technology
[0002] A modern production line typically consists of several processing steps, and these steps are usually connected by different roller conveyors depending on the materials being processed, facilitating continuous material transport and uninterrupted production. During production, to ensure product quality and prevent defective products from wasting resources in subsequent steps, inspection steps are usually established between each step. A common inspection method is to use visual inspection equipment to check various parameters such as product appearance and dimensions, verifying whether the products processed in the previous step are up to standard. Qualified products are conveyed to the next step for further processing, while unqualified products are rejected. Existing methods for removing defective products typically involve manual handling or the use of robotic grippers, while omnidirectional platforms are also used to remove products. These methods, when combined with visual recognition and inspection equipment, can effectively remove defective products. However, in practical use, robotic grippers and omnidirectional platforms are expensive and mechanically complex. They cannot be used independently. Robotic grippers require additional equipment such as visual recognition systems to move defective products from the roller conveyor to other locations, while omnidirectional platforms require the cooperation of multiple sensors to separate and move items. Furthermore, using such single-direction transport equipment on roller conveyors is overkill. Manual handling is typically suitable for smaller, lighter products. Therefore, a roller conveyor capable of removing defective products needs to be designed to address these shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a roller conveyor that can automatically unload materials according to the type of non-conforming products on the production line, thus solving the problem of complex structure and high cost of existing roller conveyors used to remove non-conforming products.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a roller conveyor that can automatically unload materials according to the type of non-conforming material on the production line, comprising a roller conveyor support, a side support connected to one side of the roller conveyor support, a plurality of unloading rollers rotatably mounted on the side support, a plurality of intermediate electric rollers rotatably mounted on the roller conveyor support and located on one side of the side support, the outer wall of the rolling end of the plurality of intermediate electric rollers being provided with hemispherical protrusions; a bearing plate is fixedly mounted on the other side of the roller conveyor support, an electric slide rail is mounted on the bearing plate, a support column is mounted on the moving end of the electric slide rail, an electric cylinder is fixedly inserted into the support column, and a push plate is provided on the telescopic end of the electric cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, the roller support has two rows of grooves arranged side by side on the side wall of the side support, and each of the two rows of grooves has a ball bearing rolled in it.
[0006] Preferably, the pusher plate is located above a plurality of intermediate electric rollers and has a horizontal plate at one end.
[0007] Preferably, the roller support is provided with a plurality of active electric rollers on both sides of the plurality of intermediate electric rollers.
[0008] Beneficial effects
[0009] This utility model provides a roller conveyor that can automatically unload materials according to the type of defective products on the production line, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] Electric cylinders, push plates, side supports, and feeding rollers are provided on both sides of the roller conveyor support. Several hemispherical protrusions are provided on the middle electric roller. When the product being inspected enters the middle electric roller through the active electric roller, if the product is qualified, it will continue to move to the next inspection process from the other active electric roller. If the product is unqualified, the electric cylinder drives the push plate to push the unqualified product from the hemispherical protrusions through the ball bearings to the feeding roller, completing the feeding action. This design is simple and practical. The hemispherical protrusions have the function of raising the height of the product on the middle electric roller and facilitating the product to slide to the right on the middle electric roller.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a technical solution: a roller conveyor that can automatically unload materials according to the type of non-conforming material on the production line, including a roller conveyor support 1, a side support 11 connected to one side of the roller conveyor support 1, a plurality of unloading rollers 12 rotatably mounted on the side support 11, a plurality of intermediate electric rollers 8 rotatably mounted on the roller conveyor support 1 and located on one side of the side support 11, and a hemispherical protrusion 9 is provided on the outer wall of the rolling end of the plurality of intermediate electric rollers 8; a bearing plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the roller conveyor support 1, an electric slide rail 4 is mounted on the bearing plate 3, a support column 5 is mounted on the moving end of the electric slide rail 4, an electric cylinder 6 is fixedly inserted into the support column 5, and a push plate 7 is provided on the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 6;
[0015] When the electric cylinder 6 is activated, the product on the middle electric roller 8 is pushed to the right by the push plate 7. The activation signal of the electric cylinder 6 is issued by the visual recognition detection equipment used to inspect the product. It is controlled by a PLC and the transmission control is achieved through electrical connection. This wiring connection method is a conventional technical means. This design only uses its control function to control the action of the electric cylinder 6 and then push the product out.
[0016] The ball bearings 10 set on the roller support 1 have the effect of assisting the product to slide from the middle electric roller 8 onto the feed roller 12. The hemispherical protrusions 9 also have the function of raising the material coming from the active electric roller 2, raising it to the same height as the ball bearings 10, so as to facilitate the push of the push plate 7.
[0017] Furthermore, the roller support 1 has two rows of grooves arranged side by side on the side wall of the side support 11, and ball bearings 10 are rolled in each of the two rows of grooves.
[0018] Furthermore, the pusher plate 7 is located above several intermediate electric rollers 8 and has a horizontal plate at one end.
[0019] Furthermore, the roller support 1 is provided with several active electric rollers 2 on both sides of several intermediate electric rollers 8.
[0020] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0021] Example: In use, firstly, the L-shaped bracket 5 is rotated by the electric rotating base 6 and faces the feed roller conveyor 1. Then, the second motor 10 is started, and the second motor 10 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate through the gearbox 11, thereby extending the support beam 13 out of the slide groove. Then, the electric hoist 14 is started to lower the lifting chain 15, so that the lifting rod 16 extends into the center hole of the wheel. Then, the motor 17 is started to drive the bidirectional lead screw 18 to rotate. During the rotation, the two sliders 19 move closer to each other, so that the three upper support rods 20 and the three lower support rods 21 expand outward and thus jam the center hole of the wheel. Then, the electric hoist 14 is started to lift the wheel and place it on the support platform 7. The tire vision inspection instrument 9 is used for inspection. After that, the wheel is hoisted to the discharge roller conveyor 2 and the lifting rod 16 is retracted.
