Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering technology, and in particular to a modular chain conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Early material handling relied heavily on simple conveyor belts or crude conveying devices. As the manufacturing industry moves towards refinement and large-scale production, the precision requirements for material handling on production lines are increasing. Not only is it necessary to accurately transfer materials from one workstation to another, but there are also more stringent standards for the stability of conveying speed and the precise control of start-up and shutdown. Therefore, traditional material handling methods and equipment are gradually becoming unable to meet the growing and diversified demands. This has become a key driving force behind the development of chain conveyors. In terms of design and installation, traditional chain conveyors often adopt an integral design with a fixed structure, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to different production site layouts and process requirements. Once the factory layout changes or the production line is upgraded, the original conveyor may need to be disassembled and reinstalled on a large scale, consuming a lot of manpower, resources, and time, and causing long-term production line downtime, seriously affecting production efficiency and increasing enterprise operating costs. Modular chain conveyors have emerged to address this need.

[0003] Existing chain plate conveyors consist of a motor, chain plates, chains, and conveyor belts. Their structure is relatively fixed, and once installed, their conveying lines and layouts are difficult to change easily. Therefore, current technology divides the conveyor into different modules, and each module is disassembled and replaced using wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers. For bolted chain plates, the bolts are loosened counterclockwise with a wrench. It is important to keep the bolts safe to prevent loss. For snap-fit ​​connections, pliers or special tools may be needed to press the unlock button on the snap-fit ​​to release the lock on the chain plate. However, this method of replacing chain plate modules is still too complicated and cumbersome, requiring the complete disassembly of all chain plates. If some plates are damaged or worn, the entire chain plate module still needs to be disassembled. This method not only wastes manpower but also greatly prolongs working time and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular chain plate conveyor, which aims to improve the problem that the replacement of chain plate modules in the prior art is too complicated and cumbersome, which not only wastes manpower but also greatly prolongs working time and reduces work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a modular chain conveyor, comprising a support plate, a chain slidably connected to the rear side of the support plate, multiple hollow grooves formed at the top front side of the support plate, multiple sliding grooves formed at the middle of the top front side of the support plate, a conveyor belt arranged on the outer side of the chain, multiple slot blocks fixedly connected to the outer side of the conveyor belt, a fixing plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot blocks, a baffle slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow grooves, a fixing column fixedly connected to the left front side of the baffle, a block fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle, a spring fixedly connected to the left side of the block, and a lifting mechanism arranged on the outer side of the support plate, the lifting mechanism being used to adjust the height of the device.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting plate, the bottom end of the support plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting plate, a U-shaped plate is slidably connected to the front side of the lifting plate, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the U-shaped plate, multiple grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the front end of the support plate, a positioning rod is slidably connected to the top end of the front side of the U-shaped plate, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the front end of the positioning rod.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A controller is fixedly connected to the front side of the support plate, and the controller is electrically connected to the telescopic rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A display is fixedly connected to the front left end of the controller, and a button is fixedly connected to the front right end of the controller.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the U-shaped plate, and a label is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A rubber block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove block, and the outer wall of the fixing plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outer wall of the positioning rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the top end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The outer wall of the block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate, and the left end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the support plate.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, prolonged working time may damage the fixing plate. It needs to be moved to a designated position, and then the fixing column is pushed to the left, which drives the baffle to move to the left, compresses the spring and generates elastic force, and then pushes the fixing plate to slide out of the slot and move outward along the hollow slot, thereby removing the fixing plate. Then the intact fixing plate is inserted along the hollow slot. The spring force will reset the baffle and the block and limit the fixing plate, realizing the replacement of the module part without replacing the entire module. This makes it convenient for users and greatly reduces downtime, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when adjusting the height, the telescopic rod is activated, which pushes the lifting plate and the support plate upward to the designated position. Then, the fixing block is pushed so that it pushes the positioning rod into the groove of the U-shaped plate, thereby fixing the support plate. This allows for the adjustment of the support plate height, preventing the transported goods from being too heavy, which would make it difficult for workers to lift the plate to a high position and seriously affect work efficiency.

[0035] Working principle: If prolonged operation may damage some of the fixing plates 8, move the fixing plates 8 to the designated position and push the fixing column 10 to the left. The fixing column 10 will drive the baffle 9 to move to the left along the slide groove 5 and push the block 11 to compress the spring 12, causing it to deform and generate elastic force. Then push the fixing plate 8, so that the fixing plate 8 will slide out of the inside of the slot block 7 and slide out along the hollow groove 4. The fixing plate 8 can then be taken out of the inside of the slot block 7. The intact fixing plate 8 can then be inserted along the hollow groove 4. The elastic force of the spring 12 will reset the block 11 and the baffle 9 and limit the fixing plate 8. This allows for the replacement of the module without replacing the entire module, which is convenient for users and greatly reduces downtime, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0036] When height adjustment is needed, the telescopic rod 202 is activated. The telescopic rod 202 pushes the lifting plate 203 upward, which in turn moves the support plate 1 upward. Once the designated position is reached, the fixing block 206 is pushed. The fixing block 206 pushes the positioning rod 205 into the interior of the U-shaped plate 201, eventually passing through the U-shaped plate 201 and entering the interior of the groove 204, thus fully fixing the support plate 1. This allows for height adjustment of the support plate 1, preventing situations where the weight of the transported goods is too large, making it difficult for workers to lift the plate to a high position and severely impacting work efficiency.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
