Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering device technology, and in particular to a pallet continuous steering device. Background Technology
[0002] Pallets are the basic unit for carrying and transporting goods. Their handling efficiency directly affects the operational efficiency of the entire logistics chain, especially in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals, where there are extremely high requirements for the hygiene, continuity, and automation of material handling.
[0003] Existing continuous pallet steering devices still have some shortcomings in practical use:
[0004] 1. When the existing medicine conveyor transports a tray containing medicines, the tray cannot be turned. After the medicine boxes are loaded, the medicine boxes need to be manually reversed or manually turned before the medicine boxes are loaded onto the tray. The operation is quite cumbersome.
[0005] 2. When the existing conveyor transports medicines, the limiting frames on both sides of the top of the conveyor limit the connecting rods by contacting each other during distance adjustment. This not only results in low stability, but also makes it difficult to control the accuracy of distance adjustment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing technologies where the tray cannot be turned, requiring manual rotation of the medicine box or tray, which is cumbersome, and where the distance control of the limiting frame is limited by contact, resulting in low stability and difficulty in controlling accuracy. Therefore, a continuous tray turning device is proposed.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A continuous pallet turning device includes a conveyor frame with two horizontal plates fixedly installed on its top. One of the horizontal plates has three first limiting frames on one side, and the other horizontal plate has three second limiting frames on one side, with the first and second limiting frames corresponding to each other. Two stops are fixedly installed on one side of one of the horizontal plates, with the two stops located between two adjacent first limiting frames. Each of the two stops has an arc-shaped angle on one side. The device also includes multiple adjusting components, which are respectively located on the side of the first and second limiting frames that are far apart from each other. Each adjusting component consists of two adjusting members.
[0009] In one possible design, the adjusting member includes a rotating rod that rotatably extends into the horizontal plate. A first bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. A nut is rotatably connected inside the horizontal plate. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to one side of the nut. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. A threaded rod extends through the horizontal plate, and one end of the threaded rod passes through the second bevel gear and is threadedly connected to the nut. The threaded rod cooperates with a corresponding first limiting frame.
[0010] In one possible design, both the first limiting frame and the second limiting frame are provided with a rotating groove, and both the first limiting frame and the second limiting frame are provided with a sliding groove.
[0011] In one possible design, one end of each of the two threaded rods in the same group is fixedly connected to a T-shaped post, one of which is rotatably connected in a rotating groove, and the other T-shaped post is slidably fitted in a sliding groove.
[0012] In one possible design, both the first and second limiting frames consist of a support plate and a rubber plate assembly, with the rubber plate fixedly mounted on one side of the support plate.
[0013] In one possible design, the conveyor frame is equipped with a conveyor belt, and two conveyor rollers are rotatably connected within the conveyor frame. The two conveyor rollers are connected by a conveyor belt drive. One end of the conveyor frame is equipped with a drive motor, and one end of the output shaft of the drive motor and one end of one of the conveyor rollers are both fixedly fitted with sprockets. The two sprockets are connected by a chain drive.
[0014] In one possible design, three second limit frames are placed at equal intervals, with a distance of 1-1.2 meters between two of the stops.
[0015] In this application, a pallet is conveyed via a conveyor belt within a conveyor frame. The pallet is conveyed while adhering to one side of three first limiting frames. After passing the first first limiting frame, one corner of the pallet abuts against the first stop. With the obstruction of the first stop, the pallet rotates 90 degrees, and one side of the pallet then abuts against the second first limiting frame. As the pallet continues to be conveyed and abuts against the second stop, it further rotates 90 degrees and abuts against one side of the third first limiting frame. The continuous turning of the pallet is achieved through the obstruction of the two stops. Before conveying the pallet, the dimensions can be adjusted according to the pallet size. The distance between the first and second limit frames is the same. The adjustment method of the first and second limit frames is the same. By rotating the two rotating rods on the same first or second limit frame, the first bevel gear on the outer wall of the bottom of the rotating rod meshes with the arc angle of the outer wall of the threaded rod, thereby driving the nut to rotate. The second bevel gear rotates on the threaded outer wall of the threaded rod. The two threaded rods can push the two support plates to move on the conveyor frame. When it is necessary to rotate the first or second limit frame at a certain angle, the T-shaped column at one end of one threaded rod rotates in the rotating groove, and the other T-shaped column slides in the sliding groove, thereby realizing the tilting of the support plate.
[0016] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the pallet continuous turning device, through a specific structural design, can realize continuous 90-degree turning operation of the pallet. When the pallet moves on the conveyor belt, it cooperates with three specific first limit frames and two stops in sequence to achieve gradual 90-degree rotation and finally complete the continuous turning. This design greatly improves the efficiency and automation of pallet handling.
[0017] In this utility model, the distance between the first and second limiting frames of the pallet continuous steering device can be adjusted according to the size of the pallet. By rotating specific adjustment components including a rotating rod, a first bevel gear, a nut, a second bevel gear, and a threaded rod, the distance between the first and second limiting frames can be easily adjusted to accommodate pallets of different sizes. This design enhances the versatility and flexibility of the device.
[0018] This invention provides an efficient, automated, and flexible solution for pallet handling by offering advantages such as continuous steering, adjustability, stability and reliability, high-efficiency conveying, and ease of operation and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example 1: Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A continuous pallet steering device, used in the field of pallet conveying, includes a conveyor frame 1. Two horizontal plates 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor frame 1. Three first limit frames 3 are provided on one side of one horizontal plate 2, and three second limit frames 4 are provided on one side of the other horizontal plate 2. The first limit frames 3 and the second limit frames 4 correspond to each other. Two stops 5 are fixedly installed on one side of one horizontal plate 2, and the two stops 5 are respectively located between two adjacent first limit frames 3. Each of the two stops 5 has an arc angle 6 on one side. The device also includes multiple adjustment components, which are respectively arranged on the side of the first limit frames 3 and the second limit frames 4 that are far apart from each other. Each adjustment component consists of two adjustment members. Two horizontal plates 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor frame 1. These two horizontal plates 2 are parallel and opposite to each other. On one side of one of the horizontal plates 2, there are three first limiting frames 3. They are evenly distributed and spaced a certain distance from each other. At the corresponding position of the other horizontal plate 2, there are three second limiting frames 4. These second limiting frames 4 correspond one-to-one with the first limiting frames 3 to ensure that the pallet can be stably guided and limited during the conveying process. Two stops 5 are also fixedly installed on one side of one of the horizontal plates 2. These two stops 5 are located in the gap between two adjacent first limiting frames 3. One side of the stops 5 is designed with an arc angle 6. This design helps to guide the pallet to turn smoothly during the conveying process and reduce collisions and friction.
[0026] Reference Figure 3The adjusting component includes a rotating rod 13 that rotatably penetrates into the horizontal plate 2. A first bevel gear 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 13. A nut 15 is rotatably connected inside the horizontal plate 2. A second bevel gear 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the nut 15. The second bevel gear 16 meshes with the first bevel gear 14. A threaded rod 10 penetrates through the horizontal plate 2, with one end of the threaded rod 10 passing through the second bevel gear 16 and threadedly connected to the nut 15. The threaded rod 10 cooperates with the corresponding first limiting frame 3. When the rotating rod 13 rotates, it drives the first bevel gear 14 to rotate. Through the meshing of the second bevel gear 16 with the first bevel gear 14, the nut 15 rotates within the horizontal plate 2, thereby driving the threaded rod 10 to move.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 Both the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 are provided with a rotating groove 12, and both the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 are provided with a sliding groove 8. The rotating groove 12 and the sliding groove 8 provide space for rotation and sliding, respectively.
[0028] Reference Figure 4 Each of the two threaded rods 10 in the same group has a T-shaped post 9 fixedly connected to one end. One T-shaped post 9 is rotatably connected to a rotating groove 12, while the other T-shaped post 9 is slidably fitted into a sliding groove 8. The rotatable connection of one T-shaped post 9 to the rotating groove 12 provides rotational space for the limit frame, while the slidable fit of the other T-shaped post 9 in the sliding groove 8 moves with the extension and retraction of the threaded rods 10. This design allows the limit frame to be precisely adjusted and positioned as needed.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 Both the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 are composed of a support plate 7 and a rubber plate 11, with the rubber plate 11 fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 7. The support plate 7 provides sufficient strength and stability, while the rubber plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 7 to reduce the impact force during a collision.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 The conveyor frame 1 contains a conveyor belt, and two conveyor rollers are rotatably connected within it. These rollers are connected by the conveyor belt. A drive motor is located at one end of the conveyor frame 1. A sprocket is fixedly fitted onto one end of the drive motor's output shaft and one end of one of the conveyor rollers, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain drive. This design allows the drive motor to stably drive the conveyor rollers to rotate, thereby propelling the conveyor belt and the pallet forward.
[0031] Example 2: Reference Figure 2An improvement on Example 1: three second limiting frames 4 are placed at equal intervals, and the distance between the two stops 5 is 1-1.2 meters. The distance between the two stops 5 is 1-1.2 meters. This design helps the pallet to transition smoothly during transportation and reduces collisions.
[0032] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the drive motor are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. Therefore, they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
