Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crucibles, and more particularly to a mechanism for fixing crucibles on a roller conveyor line. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the most common method for fixing crucibles on roller conveyors is to use cylinders to clamp them on both sides of the conveyor. However, this method has many limitations.
[0003] On the one hand, in situations where the space where some equipment is located is relatively small and compact, there is simply not enough space on both sides of the production line to install clamping cylinders, making this fixing method impossible. On the other hand, when the length of the production line inside the equipment is relatively short, if clamping cylinders are installed, they are likely to interfere with the drive motor of the production line, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, if dust covers are installed on both sides of the production line, these will also become obstacles to the installation of cylinders.
[0004] In addition, for workstations with large vibration amplitudes, simply using two cylinders to clamp the crucible is often insufficient to achieve a reliable fixation effect. The crucible may shift due to vibration, affecting the stability of the entire production process. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a crucible fixing mechanism on a roller conveyor, which solves the problem that the existing technology of fixing crucibles by simply clamping them with two cylinders often fails to achieve a reliable fixing effect. The crucibles may shift due to vibration, affecting the stability of the entire production process.
[0006] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.
[0007] A crucible fixing mechanism on a roller conveyor includes a conveyor belt, a first limiting member disposed within the conveyor belt, a limiting block for limiting the position of the crucible, a second limiting member disposed within the conveyor belt, a pushing member disposed above the conveyor belt, a mounting plate corresponding to the crucible, and a positioning block for preventing the crucible from shaking. Two sets of the first and second limiting members are arranged opposite each other. Each of the first and second limiting members has a limiting block disposed on its actuating end, and the limiting block extends out of the conveyor belt. The pushing member and several limiting blocks form a space corresponding to the middle of the space restricting the crucible. The mounting plate is disposed at the actuating end of the pushing member. Several positioning blocks are disposed on the side wall of the mounting plate, arranged in a circular row.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the diameter of the mounting plate is smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the crucible; the side wall of the positioning block that contacts the crucible has an inclined surface.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are rotary clamping cylinders.
[0010] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0011] 1. This upgrade to the mechanical mechanism involved in the fixing and positioning of the crucible on the roller conveyor can effectively solve the various shortcomings mentioned in the background technology, thereby significantly improving the stability of the crucible during the operation of automated equipment.

[0014] This application provides a crucible fixing mechanism on a roller conveyor, which solves the problem that the existing technology of fixing crucibles by simply clamping them with two cylinders often fails to achieve a reliable fixing effect. The crucibles may shift due to vibration, affecting the stability of the entire production process.
[0015] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0016] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0017] A crucible fixing mechanism on a roller conveyor includes a conveyor belt 101, a first limiting member 104 disposed within the conveyor belt 101, a limiting block 102 limiting the position of the crucible, a second limiting member 103 disposed within the conveyor belt 101, a pushing member 203 disposed above the conveyor belt 101, a mounting plate 201 corresponding to the crucible, and a positioning block 202 preventing the crucible from shaking. Two sets of the first limiting member 104 and the second limiting member 103 are arranged opposite each other. A limiting block 102 is disposed on the actuating end of both the first limiting member 104 and the second limiting member 103, and the limiting block 102 can extend out of the conveyor belt 101. The pushing member 203 and several limiting blocks 102 form a space corresponding to the middle of the crucible. The mounting plate 201 is disposed on the actuating end of the pushing member 203. Several positioning blocks 202 are disposed on the side wall of the mounting plate 201, and several positioning blocks 202 are arranged in a circular row around the circumference.
[0018] The diameter of the mounting plate 201 is smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the crucible; the positioning block 202 has an inclined surface on the side wall that contacts the crucible.
[0019] Both the first limiting member 104 and the second limiting member 103 are rotary clamping cylinders.
[0020] Inside the online conveyor belt 101, in the direction of crucible 301 running, two rotary pressing cylinders, namely the second limiting member 103 and the first limiting member 104, are respectively arranged between two roller shafts located in front of and behind crucible 301; and a limiting block 102 is installed at the end of the protruding shaft of each rotary pressing cylinder.
[0021] When it is necessary to fix the crucible 301, the operation procedure is as follows: First, activate the two first limiting members 104 located in front of the crucible 301. At this time, the shafts of these two first limiting members 104 will extend from below the corresponding roller shaft and rotate, so that the limiting block 102 can firmly block the crucible 301. Next, activate the two second limiting members 103 located behind the crucible 301. After their cylinder shafts extend, they will also rotate, so that the rotating limiting block 102 can also tightly press the crucible 301 from behind. In this way, by using a total of four rotary pressing cylinders in front of and behind the crucible 301, the bottom of the crucible 301 can be effectively fixed. This fixing method does not occupy the space on both sides of the production line, leaving sufficient space for other surrounding equipment or subsequent possible operations.
[0022] However, simply fixing the bottom of the crucible is insufficient to guarantee its overall stability in situations with significant vibrations, and instability may still occur. Therefore, a positioning mechanism for the top of the crucible was specifically designed.
[0023] After the crucible 301 has been fixed at the bottom by the second limiting member 103 and the first limiting member 104, the upper opening of the crucible 301 can be aligned with the positioning mechanism at the top. The mounting plate 201 at the top is a flat plate with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the crucible 301. The positioning block 202 is installed at the edge of the mounting plate 201, and the surface of the positioning block 202 that contacts the crucible 301 is designed as an inclined surface.
[0024] When the pusher 203 begins its downward pressing action, the inclined structure of the positioning block 202 causes it to fit tightly against the inner wall of the crucible 301, generating sufficient pressure to firmly fix the upper part of the crucible 301. In this way, through the coordinated action of the upper positioning mechanism and the bottom clamping mechanism, the crucible 301 can be accurately and stably fixed on the production line, better adapting to production needs under different working conditions and ensuring the smooth and orderly operation of the production process.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0026] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
