Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile conveying technology, and specifically to a ceramic tile guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] The purpose of tile conveying is to quickly and efficiently transport tiles from the production line or warehouse to where they are needed. This improves production efficiency, reduces manual handling, and ensures the safe transport of tiles.

[0003] CN201320285048.2 discloses a tile guiding mechanism, relating to the field of mechanical design and manufacturing technology, mainly solving the problem of low efficiency in manual handling and sorting of tiles. It includes a frame, a guiding device, a conveying device, a photoelectric sensor, and a cylinder. Its key feature is that when a tile reaches below the photoelectric sensor under the conveyor belt, the photoelectric sensor, fixed on the frame, transmits a sensing signal to the control device of the cylinder. The cylinder piston rod extends, pushing the guiding device fixed at the end of the piston rod towards the tile. The randomly stacked tiles are then sorted by the synchronous feeding of the two fixed devices on both sides and the surfaces of two sets of vertically mounted guiding rollers on the fixed devices.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution achieves the guiding effect by setting cylinders on both sides of the conveying device to push the guide rollers to move in the direction of the conveying device. However, with long-term use, due to the low precision of the cylinders, the cylinders on both sides will gradually deviate, failing to achieve synchronous driving or inconsistent driving displacement, resulting in the inability to sort the tiles. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above problems and provide a tile guiding device. This tile guiding device sets a horizontal drive mechanism on the left frame.

This achieves the synchronous operation of the first and second guiding components through a single horizontal drive mechanism without deviation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] refer to Figure 1-8 A tile guiding device includes a left frame 1 and a right frame 2 connected to both sides of a conveyor belt A, a drive rod 3, a transmission rod 4, a first guiding component 5, and a second guiding component 6. The left frame 1 is provided with a horizontal drive mechanism 11. One end of the drive rod 3 is connected to the horizontal drive mechanism 11, and the other end of the drive rod 3 is connected to the first guiding component 5. The left frame 1 is also provided with a left gear 12 and a left limiting component 13. The right frame is provided with a right gear 21 and a right limiting component 22. One side of the left end of the transmission rod 4 meshes with the left gear 12, and the other side abuts against the left limiting component 13. One side of the right end of the transmission rod 4 meshes with the right gear 21, and the other side abuts against the right limiting component 22. The second guiding component 6 is connected to the right end of the transmission rod 4. The first guiding component 5 and the second guiding component 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt A.

[0028] It should be noted that in conveyor belt A, the annular structure formed by the belt creates a gap in the middle of the belt. The drive rod 4 passes through this gap, meaning that the drive rod 4 is located below the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 4 and does not affect the conveying of the tile B.

[0029] In this design, during the conveying of tile B by the external tile B conveying device, when tile B reaches the guiding device, the horizontal drive mechanism 11 on the left frame 1 drives the drive rod 3 to move towards tile B. The drive rod 3 drives the first guiding component 5 to move towards tile B. Because one side of the drive rod 3 is engaged with the left gear 12, when the drive rod 3 moves, it will also drive the left gear 12 to rotate. With the cooperation of the left limit component 13, the rotation of the left gear 12 will also drive the left end of the transmission rod 4, which is engaged with it, to move away from tile B. Then, the right end of the transmission rod 4 drives the second guiding component 6 to move towards tile B. That is, under the drive of the horizontal drive mechanism 11, both the first guiding device and the second guiding device move towards tile B, thereby guiding tile B. The function of the right gear 21 and the right limit component 22 is to ensure the stability of the right end of the transmission rod 4.

[0030] It should also be noted that the direction of motion described above is determined based on the installation position of the horizontal drive mechanism 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first guiding component 5 includes a first connecting plate 51 and a first pressing block 52 rotatably connected to the first connecting plate 51. There are two first pressing blocks 52 arranged side by side on the first connecting plate 51. The first pressing block 52 has a cylindrical structure. The other end of the driving rod 3 is connected to the first connecting plate 51.

[0032] During operation, driven by the horizontal drive mechanism 11, the drive rod 3 pushes the first connecting plate 51 to move towards the tile B. The first connecting plate 51 drives the first pressure block 52 to move towards the tile B until the first pressure block 52 pushes the tile B to achieve the guiding function. The first pressure block 52 adopts a cylindrical structure because the cylindrical structure has uniform force distribution, and the rotation connection will not affect the conveying of the tile B.

[0033] Preferably, the bottom of the first connecting plate 51 is also provided with a first connecting pipe 511 arranged side by side, and the left frame 1 is provided with a first fixing plate 14 arranged vertically. The first fixing plate 14 corresponds one-to-one with the first connecting pipe 511. The first fixing plate 14 is provided with a first positioning post 141 arranged horizontally. The first connecting pipe 511 is provided with a first through hole 5111 that matches the first positioning post 141. The first connecting plate 51 and the first positioning post 141 are slidably connected.

[0034] Specifically, through the cooperation of the first connecting tube 511 and the first positioning post 141, when the first connecting plate 51 is pushed, the first connecting tube 511 will move away from the first fixed plate 14, but the first positioning post 141 will not disengage from the first through hole 5111. When the first connecting plate 51 is pulled back, the first connecting tube 511 will move along the length of the first positioning post 141. The first fixed plate 14 has a limiting function. Through this design, the stability of the first connecting plate 51 during movement can be increased.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive rod 3 has a first tooth 31 on one side that matches the left gear 12, and the transmission rod 4 has a second tooth 41 on one side of its left end that matches the left gear 12. The drive rod 3 and the transmission rod 4 are respectively meshed with the left gear 12 through the first tooth 31 and the second tooth 41. The transmission rod 4 has a third tooth 43 on one side of its right end that matches the right gear 21. The transmission rod 4 is meshed with the right gear 21 through the third tooth 43. The second tooth 41 and the third tooth 43 are located on the same side.

[0036] Furthermore, the other side of the transmission rod 4 is an arc portion 42, the left limiting component 13 is a first roller 131, and the right limiting component 22 is a second roller 221. The first roller 131 and the second roller 221 are rotatably connected to the left frame 1 and the right frame 2, respectively. The first roller 131 is provided with a first recess 1311 that matches the arc portion 42, and the second roller 221 is provided with a second recess 2211 that matches the arc portion 42.

[0037] In other words, one side of the transmission rod 4 is toothed, while the other side is an arc-shaped part 42. This design not only enables the transmission rod 4 to mesh with both the left gear 12 and the right gear 21 at the same time, but also allows it to abut against the first recess 1311 on the first roller 131 and the second recess 2211 on the second roller 221. The roller design reduces the friction of the transmission rod 4 during movement and ensures the smoothness of the transmission rod 4 during movement.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second guiding component 6 includes a second connecting plate 61 and a second pressing block 62 rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 61. There are two pressing blocks 62 arranged side by side on the second connecting plate 61. The second pressing block 62 has a cylindrical structure. The right end of the transmission rod 4 is connected to the second connecting plate 61.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom of the second connecting plate 61 is also provided with a second connecting pipe 611 arranged side by side, and the right frame 2 is provided with a vertically arranged second fixing plate 23. The second fixing plate 23 corresponds one-to-one with the second connecting pipe 611. The second fixing plate 23 is provided with a horizontally arranged second positioning post 231. The second connecting pipe 611 is provided with a second through hole 6111 that matches the second positioning post 231. The second connecting plate 61 and the second positioning post 231 are slidably connected.

[0040] The working principle of the second connecting plate 61, the second pressing block 62, the second connecting pipe 611, the second fixing plate 23, and the second positioning post 231 is the same as that of the first connecting plate 51, the first pressing block 52, the first connecting pipe 511, the first fixing plate 14, and the first positioning post 141, so it will not be explained in detail in this embodiment.

[0041] Furthermore, the use of two blocks for both the first pressing block 52 and the second pressing block 62 is based on economic considerations. Since two points determine a straight line, at least two blocks are required to achieve the guiding effect. Increasing the number of the first pressing block 52 and the second pressing block 62 in this embodiment is within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0042] Preferably, the horizontal drive mechanism 11 is a drive cylinder 111, the cylinder body of the drive cylinder 111 is fixedly connected to the left frame 1, and the power output part of the drive cylinder 111 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rod 3.

[0043] Cylinders are used because they have advantages such as simplicity, reliability, fast response, ease of control, strong load capacity, high safety, and low cost.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements or modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements or modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
