The structure of the equipment is simple, easy to maintain, especially suitable for rapid handling of large quantities of goods, which can effectively reduce labor cost and improve production efficiency.

[0003] In the traditional roller conveyor system, the materials are usually conveyed in one direction. Although this design performs well in stable conveying of qualified products, it has significant limitations when dealing with defective products. When defective or unqualified products are mixed in the conveying process, the system cannot automatically identify or transfer the defective products to another path, which makes the processing process complex and inefficient.

[0004] Due to the unidirectionality of the system, the staff can only rely on visual inspection or other means to manually monitor and screen the materials during the conveying process of the conveyor. At this time, the staff needs to be on standby beside the continuously moving conveyor belt at any time, ready to manually remove the identified defective products. This not only has a high work intensity, but also is prone to omissions. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0029] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a synchronous belt roller conveyor for automated conveying, including a support frame 1, and further including: a vertical transmission component 4 fixed on the support frame 1 for automated transmission; a horizontal transmission component 3 slidably installed on the support frame 1, the horizontal transmission component 3 and the vertical transmission component 4 being arranged alternately; and an electric push rod 2 fixedly installed on the support frame 1, the horizontal transmission component 3 being fixed at the output end of the electric push rod 2, the electric push rod 2 being activated to control the horizontal transmission component 3 to perform lifting and lowering actions.

[0032] The aforementioned synchronous belt roller conveyor for automated conveying achieves automated material conveying and screening through the cooperation of the vertical conveying component 4 and the horizontal conveying component 3. During equipment operation, the vertical conveying component 4 is fixed on the support frame 1 and undertakes the conveying task, while the horizontal conveying component 3 is slidably installed on the support frame 1 and is staggered with the vertical conveying component 4. During normal conveying, the electric push rod 2 keeps the horizontal conveying component 3 above the vertical conveying component 4, and the material is stably conveyed through the horizontal conveying component 3. When a defective product is detected, the electric push rod 2 is activated, causing the horizontal conveying component 3 to move downward, so that the defective product directly contacts the vertical conveying component 4. At this time, the vertical conveying component 4 changes the conveying direction, transferring the defective product from the main conveying path to the other side, thereby achieving automated sorting.

[0033] This design overcomes the limitations of traditional roller conveyors' unidirectional conveying, enabling automatic identification and diversion of defective products without manual intervention. This improves conveying efficiency, reduces the workload of manual screening, and lowers the risk of missed inspections due to manual operation, ensuring the high efficiency and intelligent operation of the production line.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transverse transmission assembly 3 includes two side plates 301. Each side plate 301 has two connecting plates 302 integrally formed on its inner side. Several transmission rollers 303 are rotatably installed inside the two side plates 301. Four electric push rods 2 are provided, and the output ends of the four electric push rods 2 are respectively fixedly connected to a connecting plate 302.

[0035] During the conveying process, several conveying rollers 303 are installed between two side plates 301 and can rotate freely, thus providing a smooth conveying path. When in normal conveying state, the output ends of four electric push rods 2 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 302, keeping the transverse conveying component 3 above the vertical conveying component 4, so that the material is conveyed along the transverse conveying component 3. When a defective product is detected, the electric push rod 2 is activated, causing the connecting plate 302 to move down, that is, the transverse conveying component 3 moves downward as a whole, so that the material comes into contact with the vertical conveying component 4. Then the vertical conveying component 4 changes the conveying direction and conveys the defective product to the other side, realizing automated screening.

[0036] In this embodiment, the vertical transmission component 4 includes an offset member 404 slidably mounted on the support frame 1, with a roller 405 rotatably mounted inside the offset member 404. The vertical transmission component 4 also includes a linkage member 403 rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. One of the linkage members 403 passes through the support frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a second rotating wheel 402. The output end of the drive motor 5 fixed at the lower part of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a first rotating wheel 401 that is belt driven by the second rotating wheel 402. There are multiple second rotating wheels 402, and two adjacent second rotating wheels 402 are belt driven. Multiple rollers 405 are driven by the linkage member 403. When the offset member 404 changes the angle of the rollers 405, the multiple linkage members 403 control the multiple rollers 405 to rotate at the same speed.

[0037] Through the coordinated action of offset component 404, roller 405, linkage component 403 and drive motor 5, vertical conveying and intelligent screening of materials are achieved.

[0038] The offset component 404 has a roller 405 inside and can be rotatably installed to adjust the conveying angle under different conditions. The linkage component 403 is rotatably installed on the support frame 1 and interacts with the offset component 404. When running, the drive motor 5 drives the first rotating wheel 401 to rotate. The first rotating wheel 401 drives multiple second rotating wheels 402 to rotate through belt drive. The adjacent second rotating wheels 402 also maintain synchronous operation through belt drive.

[0039] Multiple rollers 405 are driven by a linkage 403 to keep them rotating synchronously during the conveying process, thus ensuring conveying stability. Traditional conveyors often have limitations in the screening process, while this vertical conveying component 4 uses an offset component 404 to adjust the angle of the rollers 405, so that the material can change the conveying direction as needed. When a defective product is detected, the offset component 404 acts on the rollers 405, causing the angle of the rollers 405 to change. At the same time, the linkage 403 ensures that all rollers 405 still rotate at the same speed, so that the defective product is turned and conveyed to the other side along the set path, realizing the automated screening function.

[0040] This design, by flexibly adjusting the conveying angle, breaks through the limitation of traditional conveying equipment that can only convey in one direction, improving the flexibility and intelligence of the conveying process, and effectively enhancing the automation capability and screening efficiency of the production line.

[0041] In this embodiment, the linkage 403 includes a first sliding plate 4041 and a second sliding plate 4042 slidably mounted on the support frame 1. Several telescopic plates 4043 are rotatably mounted on the inner side of the first sliding plate 4041 and the second sliding plate 4042. Rollers 405 are rotatably mounted on the inner side of two telescopic plates 4043. A rotating plate 4045 is fixedly connected to the output end of a steering motor 4044 fixed on the support frame 1. The guide grooves 4046 of the lower part of the rotating plate 4045 of two connecting blocks 4047 fixed on the first plate and the second sliding plate 4042 are slidably connected. When the rotating plate 4045 rotates, it controls the first sliding plate 4041 and the second sliding plate 4042 to move in opposite directions.

[0042] Through the coordinated action of the first slide plate 4041, the second slide plate 4042, the telescopic plate 4043, the roller 405, the steering motor 4044, and the rotating plate 4045, the direction of the roller 405 can be dynamically adjusted to optimize the material conveying path and screening process.

[0043] When the steering motor 4044 is started, the rotating plate 4045 rotates accordingly. The lower parts of the two connecting blocks 4047 fixed on the first sliding plate 4041 and the second sliding plate 4042 are slidably connected to the guide groove 4046 on the rotating plate 4045, so that when the rotating plate 4045 rotates, it drives the first sliding plate 4041 and the second sliding plate 4042 to move in opposite directions.

[0044] The opposing movement of the first slide plate 4041 and the second slide plate 4042 not only changes their relative positions, but also affects the angle of several telescopic plates 4043 that are rotatably mounted inside. Rollers 405 are further rotatably mounted on the inner side of these telescopic plates 4043, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the direction of the rollers 405. In addition, since the offset of the first slide plate 4041 and the second slide plate 4042 will change the distance between them, rollers 405 with a diameter much smaller than their spacing are selected so that they can adapt to different conveying requirements.

[0045] Meanwhile, the shaft of roller 405 is rotatably and slidably connected to the first slide plate 4041 and the second slide plate 4042. This design ensures that roller 405 can still rotate freely while adjusting its direction, ensuring the continuity and stability of the conveying. Overall, this linkage structure, through the control of the steering motor 4044, makes the direction of roller 405 adjustable and ensures the flexibility of the conveying system under different screening conditions. It improves the automation level of conveying and sorting and overcomes the defect that traditional conveyors cannot automatically adjust the conveying path.

[0046] In this embodiment, the linkage 403 includes a first universal joint 4031, and the first universal joint 4031 is connected to a second universal joint 4033 via a telescopic rod 4032. The first universal joint 4031 of one linkage 403 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1, and the second universal joint 4033 of the linkage 403 is fixed on the roller 405. The first universal joint 4031 and the second universal joint 4033 of the other linkage 403 are respectively fixed on two adjacent rollers 405.

[0047] Through the coordinated control of the first universal joint 4031, the second universal joint 4033, and the telescopic rod 4032, the synchronous drive and angle adjustment of multiple rollers 405 are achieved to ensure the smooth operation of the conveying system under different working conditions.

[0048] When the conveying system is in normal operation, the motor drives the first universal joint 4031 of the first linkage 403 to rotate through the transmission mechanism. The first universal joint 4031 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is connected to the second universal joint 4033 through the telescopic rod 4032. The second universal joint 4033 is fixed on the roller 405, thereby driving the roller 405 to rotate synchronously.

[0049] Meanwhile, the first universal joint 4031 and the second universal joint 4033 of another linkage 403 are respectively fixed on two adjacent rollers 405, so that the adjacent rollers 405 can be synchronously driven through the linkage structure, thereby ensuring that the rollers 405 of the entire conveying system maintain a consistent rotation speed and direction.

[0050] When the angle of roller 405 changes, such as when a defective product is detected and the conveyor needs to be redirected, the telescopic rod 4032 will extend and retract accordingly. The universal joint characteristics of the first universal joint 4031 and the second universal joint 4033 ensure that roller 405 can maintain synchronous rotation even when the angle changes, without causing instability or asynchrony in the operation of roller 405 due to angle changes. This design breaks through the limitation of independent drive of roller 405 in traditional conveying equipment, allowing a single motor to control multiple rollers 405 to work collaboratively. This not only improves transmission efficiency but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the conveying system under different conveying paths, making it suitable for automated screening and conveying systems with high requirements for conveying direction.

[0051] The working principle of this utility model:

[0052] Through the cooperation of the vertical conveying component 4 and the horizontal conveying component 3, the automated conveying and screening of materials is realized. When the equipment is running, the vertical conveying component 4 is fixed on the support frame 1 and undertakes the conveying task, while the horizontal conveying component 3 is slidably installed on the support frame 1 and is staggered with the vertical conveying component 4. During normal conveying, the electric push rod 2 keeps the horizontal conveying component 3 above the vertical conveying component 4, and the material is stably conveyed through the horizontal conveying component 3. When a defective product is detected, the electric push rod 2 is activated, causing the horizontal conveying component 3 to move downward, so that the defective product directly contacts the vertical conveying component 4. At this time, the vertical conveying component 4 changes the conveying direction and transfers the defective product from the main conveying path to the other side, realizing automated sorting.
