Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying and logistics technology, specifically to an end blocking mechanism and a roller conveyor having the end blocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A conveyor line is a system that mainly completes the task of material transportation. A roller conveyor line consists of rollers, bearings and a frame, and is an essential piece of equipment used in assembly lines, automated equipment and logistics equipment to transport goods.

[0003] To achieve cargo positioning (such as crates), existing roller conveyors require specialized electric or pneumatic blocking mechanisms. However, the use of electric or pneumatic blocking mechanisms in current box conveyor lines presents the following problems: 1. Electric or pneumatic blocking mechanisms are usually installed below the conveyor's roller frame. On the one hand, they require a large installation space and cannot be installed at the end of narrow spaces. On the other hand, the blocking mechanism often extends beyond the surface of the conveyor's roller frame; 2. The action response is relatively slow; 3. The blocking structure is relatively complex; 4. Conventional blocking mechanisms generally block in the middle of the equipment, making it impossible to avoid picking up goods in the middle position, which is not suitable for conveyor lines that require picking up goods in the middle position.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a blocking mechanism that requires little installation space, has a simple structure, is widely applicable, and has a fast response. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this application is to provide an end blocking mechanism and a roller conveyor having the end blocking mechanism, so as to solve the problems of large installation space, complex structure, fast response and wide applicability of the current blocking mechanism.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the surface of the end blocker for contacting the goods is provided with a buffer pad.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the driving device is a swing motor.

[0012] The utility model also provides a kind of roller conveyor, including roller shaft frame, a row of parallel roller shafts are installed on roller shaft frame, it is characterized in that, at least one described end blocking mechanism is also provided on roller shaft frame.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the two end blocking mechanisms are respectively arranged on the roller shaft frame, and the two sets of end blocking mechanisms are arranged opposite in the width direction of the roller conveyor, the surfaces of the two end blocking mechanisms for contacting the goods are located in the same normal plane perpendicular to the conveying direction, and when the end blocking mechanisms are in the second position, a goods taking area is left between the two end blocking mechanisms.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the end blocking mechanism is arranged at the discharge end of the roller shaft frame, but not limited to the discharge end of the roller shaft frame.

[0015] When the end blocking mechanisms of the two sets of end blocking mechanisms are in the second position, a goods taking area is left between the two end blocking mechanisms.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the inner side of the discharge end of the roller shaft frame is provided with a limiting groove, and when in the second position, the end blocking mechanism is clamped into the limiting groove.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the limiting groove is in inverted L shape.

[0019] 1. The driving device can be directly installed inside the roller shaft frame at the discharge end of the roller conveyor, ensuring that the bottom of the entire end blocking mechanism does not exceed the bottom surface of the roller conveyor, greatly reducing the thickness of the conveyor and saving installation space.

[0020] 2. Simple structure, fast response to blocking action.

[0021] 3. The end blocking mechanism is arranged at both sides of the discharge end of the roller conveyor, and a goods taking area is reserved in the middle, so that the goods conveyed by the roller conveyor are blocked on both sides, leaving the middle position available for taking goods, with wide applicability.
