Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to a follow-up steel wire rope guardrail for a fully automatic loading machine. Background Technology
[0002] In current logistics and industrial production, fully automatic loading machines, as efficient and automated loading equipment, are widely used in loading various bulk materials and packaged goods. Through their built-in conveyor belt systems, fully automatic loading machines can accurately transport materials from storage equipment to transport vehicles, greatly improving loading efficiency and accuracy. However, in practical applications, fully automatic loading machines also face some technical challenges, particularly in ensuring loading safety.
[0003] Existing fully automated loading machine designs typically require the conveyor belt's material drop position to be moved back and forth according to the loading process to accommodate cargo of varying sizes and weights. However, this dynamically changing drop position presents a significant challenge to the installation of guardrails. Because the guardrails need to maintain a certain level of rigidity and stability to effectively prevent cargo from slipping out of the conveyor belt's range during loading, traditional fixed guardrails struggle to adapt to the dynamic changes in the conveyor belt's material drop position.
[0004] To address this issue, many fully automated loading machines incorporate fall protection nets as an alternative in their design. These nets cover the area beneath the conveyor belt, preventing goods from falling directly to the ground or causing other safety hazards. However, fall protection nets do not completely eliminate the problem of goods slipping out of the conveyor belt's protection zone. Especially during loading, if goods shift or tilt due to various reasons (such as excessive conveyor speed or irregular cargo shape), they may still slip out of the belt's protection zone, potentially leading to an accident. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a follow-up steel wire rope guardrail for a fully automatic loading machine. The present invention can be used to limit the material during material transportation, and can still limit the material conveyed on the conveyor belt normally after the guide plate changes position.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a follow-up steel wire rope guardrail for a fully automatic loading machine, including a bracket and a conveyor belt rotatably mounted on the bracket. The conveyor belt is used to limit the material. The bracket is also provided with two fixed frames corresponding to the two ends of the conveyor belt. The fixed frames are arranged vertically, and at least one limiting rope is connected between the two fixed frames. The two fixed frames can provide support for the two ends of the limiting rope.
[0007] A guide plate is also slidably installed above the conveyor belt along the length of the conveyor belt. The guide plate is placed at an angle above the conveyor belt. The guide plate is equipped with a high-position steering component for turning and supporting the limit rope. A fixed plate is also vertically installed on the side of the guide plate. The guide plate and the fixed plate are designed as an integrated structure. The guide plate can drive the fixed plate to slide together. The fixed plate is equipped with a low-position steering component for turning and supporting the limit rope. The horizontal height of the high-position steering component is higher than that of the low-position steering component. When the material is conveyed, it moves from the low-position steering component to the high-position steering component. After the material moves to the guide plate, it can be discharged along the inclined surface of the guide plate.
[0008] The limiting rope forms an inclined section between the low-position steering component and the high-position steering component. The limiting rope is inclined between the low-position steering component and the high-position steering component, and a relief groove is formed between the inclined limiting rope and the upper surface of the conveyor belt, through which the material can slide out of the conveyor belt.
[0009] The limiting rope forms a smooth section between the low-position steering component and the adjacent fixed frame, and the limiting rope also forms a smooth section between the high-position steering component and the adjacent fixed frame. That is, the limiting rope will deform during the movement of the guide plate, and can normally limit the material without stretching.
[0010] The two ends of the limiting rope can be moved up and down on the fixed frame, that is, the horizontal height of the limiting rope can be adjusted.
[0011] The low-position steering component can move up and down on the fixed plate. By adjusting the horizontal height of the low-position steering component, not only can the area of the clearance groove be adjusted, but it can also be adapted to the height of the end of the limiting rope.
[0012] Both the high-position steering component and the low-position steering component are equipped with pulley blocks.
[0013] The high-position steering component includes several guide wheels that can rotate on the high-position steering component. Each limiting rope is located on the upper surface of the guide wheel on the high-position steering component, and the guide wheel can provide support for the limiting rope to make it turn.
[0014] The low-position steering component includes several guide wheels that can rotate on the low-position steering component. Each limiting rope is located on the lower surface of the guide wheel on the low-position steering component, and the guide wheel can abut against the limiting rope to cause it to turn.
[0015] Each guide wheel is equipped with a groove, and the limiting rope is located inside the groove, which provides a limit for the limiting rope.
[0016] The limiting rope is made of steel wire rope and is made of rigid material, which can more stably limit the material.
[0017] The limit ropes are set to three; the more limit ropes there are, the better the limiting effect on the material.
[0018] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0019] 1. Enhanced Dynamic Adaptability: This guardrail design incorporates a follow-up mechanism, allowing the limiting rope to adaptively adjust its shape as the guide plate changes position. Especially when the material drop position of the conveyor belt is dynamically adjusted, the guardrail maintains stable material control, effectively preventing the risk of material slippage due to changes in the drop position.
[0020] 2. Enhanced Safety: Using steel wire rope as the limiting rope material not only provides high strength and good wear resistance, but also ensures stable limiting performance during long-term use. Furthermore, the coordinated action of the high-position and low-position steering components forms a reasonable clearance groove, ensuring smooth material descent while preventing accidental drops during transport, thus significantly improving the safety of loading operations.
[0021] 3. Increased operational flexibility: Both ends of the limiting rope and the low-position steering component can move up and down on the fixed frame. This design allows operators to flexibly adjust the height and shape of the guardrail according to actual loading needs, accommodating cargo of different sizes and weights. This flexibility not only improves loading efficiency but also reduces operational difficulty.
[0022] 4. Simple structure and easy maintenance: The entire guardrail device has a simple and clear structure, with compact and reliable connections between components. Both the high-position and low-position steering components adopt a pulley block design, and the guide wheels are equipped with ring grooves, which effectively reduces frictional wear between the limit rope and the steering components, extending their service life. At the same time, this design also makes the maintenance and upkeep of the guardrail device simpler and more convenient.
[0023] 5. Wide range of applications: This guardrail device is not only suitable for fully automatic loading machines, but can also be widely used in other material handling equipment that requires dynamic adjustment of limit devices, and has broad market application prospects and promotion value.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] A type of follow-up steel wire rope guardrail for fully automated loading machines, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3: The system includes a support frame and two rotatable rollers mounted on the support frame. The two rollers can rotate on the support frame, and a conveyor belt 100 is located on the outer side of the two rollers. Rotation of one of the rollers drives the conveyor belt 100 to rotate. Material is placed on the conveyor belt 100, and its rotation transports the material. The support frame also has a linear slide table, with a guide plate 101 indirectly connected to the slider of the linear slide table. The guide plate 101 is located above the conveyor belt 100 and is arranged at an angle. During transport, the material will come into contact with the side of the guide plate 101 and fall from the conveyor belt 100 at the angle of inclination of the guide plate 101. The material will fall onto a spiral feeding hopper, and then be fed through the feeding hopper.
[0034] The guardrail mechanism is located on the unloading side of the conveyor belt 100. Specifically, two fixed frames 200 are vertically mounted on the support, and the two fixed frames 200 are located at both ends of the conveyor belt 100. Three limiting ropes 203 are fixed between the two fixed frames 200. The three limiting ropes 203 are arranged in parallel. A fixed plate 102 is also integrally connected to the guide plate 101. The fixed plate 102 is vertically fixed on the guide plate 101 on the side facing the material inlet direction. The fixed plate 102 is provided with a low-position steering component 202 for steering support of the limiting ropes 203. The upper surface of the guide plate 101 is provided with a high-position steering component 201 for steering support of the limiting ropes 203. That is, the limiting ropes 203 pass through the high-position steering component 201 and the low-position steering component 202 and are connected to the two fixed frames 200.
[0035] Specifically, the limiting rope 203 forms an inclined portion 205 between the low-position steering component 202 and the high-position steering component 201, and a smooth portion 204 between the low-position steering component 202 and the adjacent fixing frame 200. The limiting rope 203 also forms a smooth portion 204 between the high-position steering component 201 and the adjacent fixing frame 200. That is, the limiting rope 203 forms a smooth portion 204 between the low-position steering component 202 and the adjacent fixing frame 200, and between the high-position steering component 201 and the adjacent fixing frame 200. The material is set horizontally so that it will not fall off the conveyor belt 100 when it is transported toward the guide plate. The limiting rope 203 is inclined between the low-position turning member 202 and the high-position turning member 201, so that the inclined limiting rope 203 forms a relief groove with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 100. As a result, the material will come into contact with the guide plate 101 during the conveying process, and then move toward the relief groove with the inclination angle of the guide plate 101. In this way, the material can move toward the spiral hopper through the relief groove.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that during the process of the linear slide moving the guide plate 101, the fixed plate 102 can also be moved. In this way, the high-position steering component 201 and the low-position steering component 202 can slide together, which can drive the relief groove to move together with the guide plate 101. In this way, after the material comes into contact with the guide plate 101, it can still be discharged through the relief groove. In addition, the length of the limiting rope 203 between the low-position steering component 202 and the adjacent fixed frame 200 becomes longer, which can still limit the material during the transportation process.
[0037] Since the limiting rope 203 is horizontally arranged between the low-position steering component 202 and the adjacent fixed frame 200, and between the high-position steering component 201 and the adjacent fixed frame 200, the limiting rope 203 can be deformed during the movement of the guide plate, and the material can continue to be limited normally without the limiting rope 203 being stretched.
[0038] The specific limiting rope 203 is a steel wire rope in the implementation process. Similarly, the limiting rope 203 can also be made of other deformable linear materials.
[0039] Furthermore, the high-position steering component 201 and the low-position steering component 202 have the same structure, such as... Figure 4As shown: Both steering components include a support frame 300, and each support frame 300 has a through hole. Three guide wheels 301 are rotatably arranged in the through hole. Each limiting rope 203 is located on the upper surface of the guide wheel 301 on the higher steering component 201 and the lower surface of the guide wheel 301 on the lower steering component 202. Thus, the friction loss between the limiting rope 203 and the steering component can be reduced by the guide wheels 301. This allows the two steering components to move more smoothly and also increases the service life of the steering components and the limiting rope 203.
[0040] Each guide wheel 301 is provided with an annular groove 302, which is used to place the limiting rope 203. That is, the annular groove 302 can limit the running trajectory of the limiting rope 203, thereby preventing the limiting rope 203 from falling off the guide wheel 301 or sliding back and forth during the deformation process.
[0041] Furthermore, the two ends of the limiting rope 203 can fix the frame 200 to move up and down, such as... Figure 3 As shown: The end of the limiting rope 203 is fixed to the fixing frame 200 by bolts. The height of the limiting rope 203 on the fixing frame 200 can be adjusted by removing the bolts, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the limiting rope 203. In addition, the end of the limiting rope 203 and the fixing frame 200 can also be connected by a snap-fit method, which can realize quick assembly and disassembly between the end of the limiting rope 203 and the fixing frame 200.
[0042] Furthermore, the low-position steering component 202 can move up and down on the fixed plate 102, such as... Figure 2 , 4 As shown: The support frame 300 on the low-position steering component 202 is fixed to the fixed plate 102 by bolts. The height of the support frame 300 can be changed by removing the bolts, which facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the steering component. Furthermore, by changing the height of the support frame 300, the limiting rope 203 between the low-position steering component 202 and the adjacent fixed frame 200 can always be horizontal, thus continuing to limit the movement of materials.
[0043] In summary, before using this guardrail structure, the height of the low-position steering component 202 and the fixing frame 200 should be adjusted according to the thickness of the material to ensure that the limiting rope 203 is always located at the center line of the material. This will allow the material to be properly limited. Adjusting the low-position steering component 202 can also increase the area of the clearance groove, allowing it to accommodate larger materials for unloading, thus adapting to materials of different thicknesses.
[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
