Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics technology, and in particular to a non-powered automatic tilting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automation and intelligent technologies, the demand for efficient and precise cargo handling equipment is increasing in the logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing industries. Mass production of goods is typically achieved through production lines. Given the increasing scarcity of logistics space, to maximize the utilization of conveyor equipment, it is often unavoidable to intersect conveyor lines and logistics channels.

[0003] The goal is to ensure both smooth operation of the conveyor system and unobstructed flow of logistics channels. Traditionally, this is achieved by using gantry cranes to span the channels, which inevitably increases the length of the conveyor lines and occupies additional space, drastically increasing the cost of the conveyor equipment and resulting in unnecessary waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-powered automatic tilting device to solve the problem of ensuring the functionality of both logistics channels and conveyor lines when they are arranged in an intersecting manner. This non-powered automatic tilting device requires no power; it has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and is highly practical. It can be used in warehouse management, logistics distribution, and automated production lines.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A non-powered automatic tilting device is provided, wherein the device is installed between two adjacent conveyor lines, and a material channel is provided between the two adjacent conveyor lines.

[0007] The unpowered automatic tilting device includes a guide assembly, a tilting arm, a fixed frame, and a counterweight.

[0008] One end of the tilting arm is equipped with a guide assembly, and the other end of the tilting arm is equipped with a counterweight. The end of the tilting arm connected to the counterweight is connected to a conveyor line via a fixed frame.

[0009] The guiding component is used to guide the carrier, prevent the carrier from lateral displacement, and allow the carrier to pass through two adjacent conveyor lines. The counterweight is used to provide power for the tilting arm to reset. The fixed frame is used to install and support the tilting arm.

[0010] When the transport vehicle passes through the conveyor line, the transport vehicle pushes the guide component to flip to a horizontal position, and the guide component lifts the transport vehicle through the conveyor line; after the transport vehicle passes, the counterweight drives the flipping arm to automatically reset through gravity, ensuring the smooth flow of the logistics channel.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unpowered automatic tilting device further includes a support roller assembly and a roller bracket. The guide assembly is connected to the tilting arm via the roller bracket, and the roller bracket is provided with multiple support roller assemblies.

[0012] The roller bracket is used to provide support for the supporting roller assembly, and together with the supporting roller assembly, it realizes the lifting and conveying functions of the carrier during operation.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support roller assembly includes a plurality of support rollers and a support roller shaft, wherein the support rollers are rotatably mounted on the roller bracket via the support roller shaft.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the left and right roller brackets are connected as a whole by supporting roller shafts.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support roller assembly includes four support rollers and two support roller shafts, and two support rollers are respectively provided on the outer side of the two roller brackets.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the guide assembly includes a guide strip, a connecting plate, and a connector. The top end of the connecting plate is connected to the guide strip, and the side end of the connecting plate is connected to the side of the roller bracket through the connector.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tilting arm is connected to the fixed frame via a tilting shaft, which provides rotational support for the tilting arm.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unpowered automatic flipping device further includes a flipping limit plate, which is connected to the middle of the fixed frame and is located below the conveyor line.

[0019] The flipping limit plate is used to limit the maximum flipping angle, ensuring that the support roller assembly is in a horizontal state in this state, so that the support roller assembly can normally support the carrier and smoothly transition.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unpowered automatic flipping device further includes a reset limit buffer block, which is connected to the top of the fixed frame and is located at the front end of the conveyor line.

[0021] The reset limit buffer block acts as a buffer when the tilting arm is reset, reducing the impact force between the tilting arm and the fixed frame during reset, and also reducing noise.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unpowered automatic tilting device further includes a protective cover, which is fixed to the outside of the fixed frame. The protective cover provides safety protection for the rotating parts and ensures the safety of operators during equipment operation.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, the tilting arm has sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure stable support and transitional transmission of the transport vehicle.

[0024] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] In this invention, the support roller is the trigger for the flipping mechanism. When the front end of the carrier reaches the position, it touches the support roller. Under the thrust of the carrier, the support roller drives the unpowered automatic flipping device to flip as a whole. When the support roller is completely pressed under the carrier, the flipping stops. This state is exactly the horizontal state of the roller bracket and the support roller, thereby realizing the lifting and conveying of the carrier.

[0026] The counterweight provides power for the automatic reset of the unpowered automatic tilting device. When the tail end of the carrier passes through and disengages from the support roller of the unpowered automatic tilting device, the pressure on the support roller disappears, and the unpowered automatic tilting device automatically reverses and resets by lever principle and the gravity of the counterweight itself.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] This invention solves the problem of logistics channels and conveyor lines intersecting and each needing to ensure its own function. The powerless automatic flipping device provided by this invention is equivalent to a section of conveyor module after flipping, and does not affect the smooth flow of logistics channels after resetting. The powerless automatic flipping device provided by this invention requires no power or electrical control, and has the characteristics of low cost, simple structure, convenient disassembly and assembly, and strong practicality.

[0029] This utility model relates to a non-powered automatic tilting device, including a guide assembly, a support roller assembly, a roller bracket, a tilting arm, a protective cover, a tilting limit plate, a tilting shaft, a fixed frame, a reset limit buffer block, and a counterweight. The guide assembly provides longitudinal guidance and lateral limitation for the transport vehicle; the support roller assembly supports and transports the transport vehicle; the roller bracket mounts the support roller assembly; the tilting arm is the main load-bearing body of the transport vehicle and is an intermediate component of the tilting device. The protective cover provides safety for operators during operation, preventing accidents. The tilting limit plate limits the tilting angle, ensuring the support roller assembly is horizontal in this state; the tilting shaft supports the tilting arm; the fixed frame mounts the tilting shaft; the reset limit buffer block buffers the tilting device during reset; and the counterweight provides power for the automatic reset of the tilting device.

[0030] The non-powered automatic tilting device provided by this utility model works in environments where conveying equipment must pass through logistics channels without interrupting the logistics channels, serving as a transitional transport mechanism. When the transport vehicle passes through, the transport vehicle pushes the guide component to tilt until it reaches a horizontal position, lifting the transport vehicle through the channel; after passing through, the tilting device automatically resets under the action of gravity, ensuring the unobstructed passage of the site.
