Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vacuum conveyor line device, and more particularly to a module and vacuum line for reducing the non-vacuum zone at the connection of the vacuum line. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum conveyor lines are widely used in industrial production. Longer vacuum conveyor lines typically require the connection of multiple individual vacuum lines. Due to the influence of the belt end rollers, the area corresponding to the belt end rollers at the end of the vacuum conveyor line is a non-vacuum zone. At the junction of two vacuum conveyor lines, a non-vacuum zone is also formed due to this non-vacuum zone. When workpieces are conveyed on the conveyor line, if they pass through this non-vacuum zone at the junction, the lack of vacuum suction can easily cause positional shifts, leading to inaccurate positioning and positioning errors, affecting normal production and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new technical solution to solve the existing technical defects. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the two ends of the roller mandrel are rotatably mounted through mandrel fixing end plates.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes a mandrel support, the number and position of which are adapted to the number and position of the roller gaps and support the bottom of the roller mandrel at the roller gap.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a vacuum source is also included, which is connected to the vacuum groove of the vacuum cavity.

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 .

[0024] A module for reducing the non-vacuum zone at a vacuum line connection includes a segmented belt roller 1, a conveyor belt 3, and a vacuum chamber 2 with a vacuum groove 20. The conveyor belt 3 passes around the segmented belt roller 1, and the vacuum chamber 2 is disposed in the internal space enclosed by the conveyor belt 3. The segmented belt roller 1 includes multiple axially spaced individual rollers 11, with a roller gap 12 between the ends of two adjacent individual rollers 11. The vacuum chamber 2 has an extension 21 that extends into the roller gap 12, and the vacuum groove 20 extends to the extension 21. In this technical solution, since the vacuum chamber 2 is provided with an extension 21 and the vacuum groove 20 extends to the extension 21, and the extension 21 is located at the roller gap 12, the area where the vacuum is generated on the conveyor belt 3 can extend towards one side of the segmented belt roller 1, thereby reducing the non-vacuum area of ​​the vacuum conveyor line connection area. This can reduce the probability of the workpiece shifting position when passing through the non-vacuum area, improve the conveying accuracy, reduce the occurrence of workpiece NG due to position shift, help normal production and processing, and provide a better application experience.

[0025] In some specific embodiments, the segmented belt conveyor roller 1 further includes a roller mandrel 13, and a plurality of individual rollers 11 are disposed on the roller mandrel 13. The roller gap 12 is the space formed by the side wall of the roller mandrel 13 and the ends of two adjacent individual rollers 11. The two ends of the roller mandrel 13 are rotatably mounted through a mandrel fixing end plate 14. Specifically, the roller mandrel 13 can be mounted on the mandrel fixing end plate 14 by means of a suitable bearing. A mounting recess 201 is provided on the side of the vacuum chamber 2, and the mandrel fixing end plate 14 is disposed at the mounting recess 201.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the module for reducing the non-vacuum area at the vacuum line connection also includes a spindle support 15. The number and position of the spindle supports 15 are adapted to the number and position of the roller gaps 12 and are supported at the bottom of the roller spindle 13 at the roller gaps 12. The spindle supports 15 can support the middle position of the segmented belt roller 1, preventing the roller from bending and deforming, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the roller mandrel 13 and the single roller 11 are separate assembly structures. That is, after processing the roller mandrel 13 and the single roller 11 separately, mounting through holes are opened on the single roller 11. The single roller 11 is mounted on the roller mandrel 13 through the mounting through holes on the single roller 11 and together they form the above-mentioned separate belt roller 1.

[0028] In some other embodiments, the roller mandrel 13 and the individual roller 11 are integrally formed. In this structure, the roller mandrel 13 and the individual roller 11 can be formed by machining on a single large shaft.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, the module for reducing the non-vacuum area at the vacuum line connection also includes a module bracket, on which the segmented belt conveyor roller 1 and the vacuum chamber 2 are directly or indirectly mounted. The module bracket is a supporting component for the entire module, enabling the fixing of the entire module's position and the installation of each component.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the module for reducing the non-vacuum area at the vacuum line connection also includes a vacuum source, which is connected to the vacuum groove 20 of the vacuum chamber 2. In application, the external vacuum source is connected to the vacuum groove 20 of the vacuum chamber 2 through a pipeline and generates negative pressure on the vacuum groove 20. The vacuum groove 20 generates a vacuum adsorption function in the corresponding area of ​​the conveyor belt 3, using this adsorption function to hold the workpiece in place and prevent the workpiece from shifting position during transport.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the module for reducing the non-vacuum area at the vacuum line connection also includes a pulley and a pulley drive device. The pulley drive device is connected to the pulley shaft of the pulley and is used to drive the pulley shaft and the pulley to rotate. The conveyor belt 3 is a perforated belt and is wound around the pulley.

[0032] Based on the module described above for reducing the non-vacuum area at the vacuum line connection, this utility model also provides:

[0033] A vacuum line includes modules for reducing the non-vacuum area at the connection point. Multiple modules for reducing the non-vacuum area at the connection point are connected in series. In practical applications, the implementer can connect an appropriate number of modules as needed, making the application convenient and flexible, and suitable for different transmission distances.
