Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire mesh turning conveyor technology, and in particular to a double-sided guide structure for a wire mesh turning conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] The mesh chain turning conveyor is a widely used material conveying equipment in industrial production. It can meet the requirements of large-angle bending, has good adaptability and flexibility, and can adapt to complex production environments. It has a large conveying capacity, long conveying distance, stable operation, low noise, and low cost and maintenance cost. It is suitable for many industries such as metallurgy, mining, food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles, and clothing. It can convey a variety of materials such as ores, coal, food, powders, granules, filaments, fabrics, and silk.
[0003] The double-sided guiding structure of the mesh chain turning conveyor is a structure in which guiding devices are set on both sides of the conveyor to assist the mesh chain and the conveyed material in turning smoothly. Through the contact between the guiding devices on both sides and the edge of the mesh chain, the constraint of the guiding surface provides lateral force for the mesh chain to run, so that it turns along the preset curve and avoids the mesh chain from deviating. This structure ensures the stability and accuracy of the mesh chain when turning, ensures smooth material conveying, reduces material spillage and equipment failure, and improves conveying efficiency and quality.
[0004] In existing technologies, some mesh chain turning conveyors use double-sided guide structures. However, due to the large friction between the mesh chain and the guide structure during operation, the two are often in direct contact and in a state of friction for a long time. The motor needs to output more energy to overcome the friction and ensure the normal operation of the conveyor, which leads to increased motor energy consumption, energy waste, and accelerated component wear, thus shortening the service life of the equipment. Therefore, a double-sided guide structure for mesh chain turning conveyors is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a double-sided guide structure for a mesh chain turning conveyor, which aims to improve the problem of increased motor energy consumption and energy waste in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A double-sided guide structure for a mesh chain turning conveyor includes a housing. A motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing, and a mesh chain conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor. Multiple fixed posts are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer side of the mesh chain conveyor belt. A sliding groove is formed inside the multiple fixed posts. A spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of one of the sliding grooves. A connecting post is fixedly connected to the left side of the spring. A connecting column is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting post. A rolling ball is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting column. A second sliding groove is formed on the left and right sides of the inner side of the housing. Multiple supports are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer side of the housing. A guide component for guiding and buffering goods is fixedly connected to the right side of one of the supports.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The outer side of the connecting post one is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove one, and the outer side of the connecting post one, i.e., the left side of the connecting post one, is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove one.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The outer side of the rolling ball is slidably connected to the inside of the second groove, and the outer side of the rolling ball, i.e. the inside of the second groove, is slidably connected to the inside of the housing.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] One of the supports is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing on its right side, and the guide plate is slidably connected to the top of the housing by an external force.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The inner side of the connecting column 2 is provided with a connecting groove, and a connecting rope is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove;

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] The support has a fixing hole inside, and a screw is threaded onto the inner wall of the fixing hole.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, the conveyor belt is driven to rotate by a motor. When the conveyor belt moves, the connecting column 1 inside the fixed column 1 on both sides slides in the slide groove 1, thereby driving the connecting column 1 and the rolling ball. The rolling ball rolls in the slide groove 2 inside the housing, converting sliding friction into rolling friction. At the same time, the force is transmitted through the connecting column 1, and the connecting column 1 is squeezed and buffered by the spring 1, thereby effectively reducing the friction between the conveyor belt and the housing, reducing energy consumption, reducing the impact on components, thereby reducing component wear and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, when the guide plate is impacted by the goods, an external force is generated. The second connecting column on the rear side drives the second connecting column to squeeze the second spring. The second spring plays a buffering role. If a certain guide component is subjected to force, the connecting rope will pull the other second connecting columns, causing the second connecting columns to squeeze the second spring together for buffering. This effectively disperses the impact force of the goods, ensures the smooth transport of goods, and ensures that it reliably provides guidance and buffering for the goods, thereby improving the stability of the transport.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a double-sided guide structure for a mesh chain turning conveyor, comprising a housing 1, which provides support for the upper device. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing 1. The motor 2 is the power source for the mesh chain conveyor belt 3. The drive end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the mesh chain conveyor belt 3. The mesh chain conveyor belt 3 rotates by receiving force from the motor 2. Multiple fixed posts 4 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mesh chain conveyor belt 3. The fixed posts 4 provide space for the opening of the internal sliding grooves 5. The sliding grooves 5 are opened inside the multiple fixed posts 4. The sliding grooves 5 provide guidance and limiting functions for the connecting posts 7.
[0033] A spring 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of one of the slide grooves 5. The spring 6 has an elastic function. A connecting post 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the spring 6. The connecting post 7 connects to the connecting post 8. A connecting post 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting post 7. The connecting post 8 connects to the rolling ball 9 and the connecting post 7. A rolling ball 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting post 8. The rolling ball 9 rolls inside the slide groove 10 to reduce friction. Slide grooves 10 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inside of the housing 1. Slide grooves 10 provide guidance and limit for the rolling ball 9. Multiple supports 11 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outside of the housing 1. The supports 11 provide fixation and support for the guide assembly. A guide assembly for guiding and buffering goods is fixedly connected to the right side of one of the supports 11.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The guide assembly includes a fixed post 2 12, which provides space for the slide groove 3 13. The slide groove 3 13 is formed inside the fixed post 2 12. The spring 2 14 in the slide groove 3 13 provides fixation and support. The spring 2 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the slide groove 3 13. The spring 2 14 has an elastic function. The connecting post 2 15 is fixedly connected to the right side of the spring 2 14. The connecting post 2 15 is compressed and buffered by external force. The connecting post 2 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting post 2 15. The connecting post 2 16 connects the connecting post 2 15 and the guide plate 17. The guide plate 17 is rotatably connected to the right side of the connecting post 2 16. The guide plate 17 is in direct contact with the goods and guides them.
[0035] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The outer side of connecting post 7 is slidably connected to the inside of slide groove 5. Similarly, slide groove 5 provides guidance and limiting function for connecting post 7. The outer side of connecting post 8, i.e. the left side of connecting post 7, is slidably connected to the inside of slide groove 5. When the mesh conveyor belt 3 moves, it can slide through connecting post 7 via connecting post 8, which squeezes and buffers spring 6, reducing friction. The outer side of rolling ball 9 is slidably connected to the inside of slide groove 2 10. Rolling ball 9 can adapt to the movement of mesh conveyor belt 3 and roll, which can greatly reduce friction. The outer side of rolling ball 9, i.e. the inside of slide groove 2 10, is slidably connected to the inside of housing 1, providing guidance and limiting function for rolling ball 9. The right side of one of the supports 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of housing 1, providing fixation and support function for support 11.
[0036] The guide plate 17 is slidably connected to the top of the housing 1 by external force. When the guide plate 17 is impacted by the cargo, the guide plate 17 slides through the rear connecting post 2 16, thereby transmitting force to the connecting post 2 15 to compress and buffer the spring 2 14. The connecting post 2 16 has a connecting groove 18 inside, which is used to fix the connecting rope 19. The connecting rope 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 18. When a certain guide component is subjected to external force, the connecting rope 19 can pull other connecting posts 2 16 to move, thereby driving the connecting post 2 15 to compress and buffer the spring 2 14. The outside of the connecting post 2 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 3 13, which provides guidance and limiting function for the connecting post 2 15.
[0037] The outside of the connecting post 2 16, i.e. the right side of the connecting post 2 15, is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 3 13. When the connecting post 2 16 is subjected to external force, it is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 3 13. The support 11 has a fixing hole 20 inside. The fixing hole 20 is used to fix the support 11. The inner wall of the fixing hole 20 is threaded with a screw. The fixing hole 20 and the screw cooperate to fix the guide component.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the motor 2 drives the mesh conveyor belt 3 to rotate. When the mesh conveyor belt 3 moves, the connecting column 7 inside the fixed column 4 on both sides slides in the slide groove 5, thereby driving the connecting column 8 and the rolling ball 9. The rolling ball 9 rolls in the slide groove 10 inside the housing 1, converting sliding friction into rolling friction. At the same time, the force is transmitted through the connecting column 8, and the spring 6 is squeezed and buffered through the connecting column 7, reducing the impact force on the components. Thus, this structural design achieves the purpose of reducing the friction between the mesh conveyor belt 3 and the housing 1, reducing energy consumption, and reducing component wear.
[0039] Meanwhile, when the goods move on the mesh conveyor belt 3, they will come into contact with the guide plate 17. The guide plate 17 will generate external force when it is hit by the goods. This force will cause the connecting column 15 to be squeezed by the rear connecting column 16, and the spring 14 will act as a buffer. If a certain guide component is subjected to force, the connecting rope 19 will pull the other connecting columns 16, causing the connecting columns 15 to squeeze the spring 14 together for buffering. The support 11 fixes the guide component through the fixing hole 20 and screws. Thus, the guide component is set in this way to achieve the effect of guiding and buffering the goods, ensuring the stable transportation of the goods.
[0040] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
