Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a chain stepping conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-cooling and aging is a crucial step in pork processing. The aging of carcasses requires extremely strict control over temperature, humidity, space, and time, necessitating that the carcasses be evenly suspended on the pipe rails in the pre-cooling room and transported sequentially.

[0003] In existing technology, a cylinder is usually used in conjunction with a lever at the output end to move the carrying pole hook with the body attached in a step-by-step manner. Since the cylinder is a reciprocating motion, the cylinder diameter and stroke determine the reciprocating motion time. At the same time, when the reciprocating frequency is too fast, the carrying pole hook is prone to lurching forward. It is easy for one lever to move two carrying pole hooks at the same time. Therefore, this conveying method has low conveying efficiency.

[0004] In addition, during the conveying process, the cylinder needs to output different thrusts depending on the number of carcasses being pushed at the same time, which results in poor control precision. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a chain-type stepping conveyor, which can precisely drive the conveyor chain to rotate via a rotary motor, and then move the carrying pole hook in a directional stepping motion via a deflector plate on the conveyor chain, which can effectively ensure conveying accuracy and high conveying efficiency.

[0006] This application provides a chain-type stepping conveyor, including a track beam and a tubular rail extending horizontally. The tubular rail is used to support a carrying hook on which a body is hooked. The track beam is provided with a conveyor chain and a rotary motor for driving the conveyor chain to rotate in a directional, circular manner. The conveyor chain consists of multiple chain links and transition chains. The transition chains are evenly distributed on the conveyor chain, and a lever is installed on the transition chain. The tubular rail is located directly below the conveyor chain, and the lever is close to the tubular rail, so that the carrying hook can be moved directionally by correspondingly levering each lever.

[0007] In one possible implementation, there is one or more track links between adjacent transition tracks.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the rotary motor is a servo motor, a drive wheel and a driven wheel are mounted on the track beam, the shaft of the rotary motor is coaxially connected to the axle of the drive wheel, and the conveyor chain is wound around both the drive wheel and the driven wheel in a transmission manner.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the conveyor chain is a vertically looping chain, and the track beam is provided with a vertically looping track suitable for accommodating the conveyor chain. The track is a T-shaped track, including an inner channel and an outer channel with an inner diameter smaller than that of the inner channel. The conveyor chain is located in the inner channel, and a connector is provided in the outer channel. One end of the connector is connected to the connector track, and the other end is connected to the turntable.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the track beam includes a U-shaped channel steel, a transition steel plate, and an L-shaped mounting plate. The U-shaped channel steel consists of a vertically extending mounting plate and an upper steel plate and a lower steel plate vertically connected to the top and bottom of the mounting plate, respectively. The upper steel plate is used to connect to the workshop steel beam. The transition steel plate and the L-shaped mounting plate are sequentially connected to the back side of the mounting plate, i.e., the side away from the upper and lower steel plates, and protrude from the U-shaped channel steel below. The track has an upper rail and a lower rail. The upper rail is located on the front side of the mounting plate, and the lower rail is located directly below the upper rail and is located at the part of the transition steel plate that protrudes from the U-shaped channel steel. The tubular rail is located on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped mounting plate and is directly opposite the lever plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the lower rail is connected to the bottom of the lower steel plate.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the adapter is an adapter shaft or an adapter plate.

[0013] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the chain step conveyor provided in this application drives the conveyor chain to rotate in a directional manner by a rotary motor, and moves the flat bar hook in a step-directional manner by a lever on the conveyor chain, thereby driving the carcass to move step by step on the tube rail. The conveying accuracy and efficiency are higher, it is easier to control, and it is easier to process the carcass in the subsequent process.

[0014] The conveyor chain consists of multiple chain links and adapter chains. The shift plates are installed on the adapter chains, which facilitates quick installation and removal of the shift plates for easy maintenance. In addition, the spacing between the shift plates can be quickly adjusted by changing the number of chain links between adjacent adapter chains, making it convenient to use.

[0015] By setting up a track, the problem of the conveyor chain sagging due to its own weight can be avoided, which can ensure the rotational stability of the conveyor chain and thus further ensure the conveying accuracy.

[0016] These and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model will be fully realized through the following detailed description. Attached Figure Description

The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this specification, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 3This application provides a chain-type stepping conveyor, including a track beam 10 extending horizontally and a tubular rail 20. The tubular rail 20 is used to carry a carrying hook 30 on which a carcass is hooked, allowing the carrying hook 30 to move directionally along the tubular rail 20. The track beam 10 is provided with a conveyor chain 40 and a rotary motor 11 for driving the conveyor chain 40 to rotate directionally in a circular manner. The conveyor chain 40 is composed of multiple chain links 41 and transition chains 42. The transition chains 42 are evenly distributed on the conveyor chain 40, and a lever 43 is installed on the transition chain 42. Furthermore, the tubular rail 20 is located directly below the conveyor chain 40, and the lever 43 is close to the tubular rail 20, so that each lever 43 can be correspondingly moved. The directional movement of the carrying hook 30 allows the conveyor chain 40 to be precisely driven to rotate in a directional manner by the rotary motor 11. During the rotation, the corresponding carrying hook 30 is moved directionally on the pipe rail 20 by the lever 43, resulting in higher conveying accuracy and efficiency, and easier control. The rotary motor 11 is preferably a servo motor. Furthermore, since the conveyor chain 40 consists of multiple track links 41 and transition tracks 42, and the transition tracks 42 are evenly distributed on the conveyor chain 40, and the lever 43 is correspondingly installed on the transition tracks 42, the distance between adjacent levers 43, i.e., the distance between the carcasses, can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the number of track links 41 between adjacent transition tracks 42 to adapt to different processing requirements of the carcasses, making operation more convenient and highly adaptable.

[0024] In one embodiment, there is one or more track links 41 between adjacent transition tracks 42.

[0025] In one embodiment, the rotary motor 11 is a servo motor, and a drive wheel 12 and a driven wheel 13 are mounted on the track beam 10. The rotating shaft of the rotary motor 11 is coaxially connected to the axle of the drive wheel 12, and the conveyor chain 40 is wound around the drive wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 in a transmission manner. Thus, the conveyor chain 40 can be driven to rotate in a directional circular manner through the cooperation of the rotary motor 11, the drive wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13.

[0026] Considering that the conveyor chain 40 has a certain self-weight, and that as the length of the conveyor chain 40 increases, it is more prone to sagging closer to the middle in the conveying direction, which can easily affect the rotational accuracy of the conveyor chain 40, in one embodiment, the conveyor chain 40 is a vertically looping chain, that is, it includes an upper chain and a lower chain. Meanwhile, the track beam 10 is provided with a vertically looping track 50 suitable for accommodating the conveyor chain 40, wherein the track 50 is a T-shaped track, including an inner channel 501 and an inner diameter smaller than the inner channel 501. The outer channel 502 of the channel 501 contains the conveying chain 40 located within the inner channel 501, and the outer channel 502 is provided with a connector 44. One end of the connector 44 is connected to the connector track 42, and the other end of the connector 44 is connected to the turntable 43. In this way, during the rotation of the conveying chain 40, the conveying chain 40 can be supported by the track 50 to prevent the conveying chain 40 from sagging, thereby further ensuring the conveying accuracy of the conveying chain 40 to the carcass. The connector 44 is a connector shaft or a connector plate.

[0027] More preferably, the track beam 10 includes a U-shaped channel steel 14, a transition steel plate 15, and an L-shaped mounting plate 16. The U-shaped channel steel 14 is composed of a vertically extending mounting plate 141 and an upper steel plate 142 and a lower steel plate 143 respectively vertically connected to the top and bottom of the mounting plate 141. The upper steel plate 142 is used to connect the workshop steel beams to facilitate the installation of the entire equipment. The transition steel plate 15 and the L-shaped mounting plate 16 are sequentially connected to the back side of the mounting plate 141, that is, the side away from the upper steel plate 142 and the lower steel plate 143, and protrude from the U-shaped channel steel 14 below. Meanwhile, the track 50 is provided with an upper track 51 and a lower track 52. The upper track 51 is located on the front side of the mounting plate 141, that is, the bottom of the U-shaped channel steel 14. The lower track 52 is located directly below the upper track 51 and is located at the part of the transition steel plate 15 that protrudes from the U-shaped channel steel 14. The pipe rail 20 is provided on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped mounting plate 16 and is directly opposite the lever plate 43.

[0028] In one embodiment, the lower rail 52 is connected to the bottom of the lower steel plate 143, which can further strengthen the connection and improve the stability of the lower rail 52.

[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
