Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable material feeding and limiting device for industrial automated processing. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial automated processing involves using automated equipment to process materials automatically. Connecting conveyor devices are set up between various automated devices to automatically transport materials between them, forming a complete automated processing chain and significantly improving material production efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, materials processed by automated equipment are conveyed to the next automated processing unit via a conveying device. When processing and conveying large quantities of materials, the accumulated materials may stack up before being conveyed to the next stage. Therefore, the stacked materials need to be separated and repositioned before the next automated processing stage can proceed. This step is generally achieved manually or through detection mechanisms. The additional steps increase processing costs and reduce the efficiency of automated production. Therefore, a device that can limit and separate materials during the conveying process is needed to reduce the additional steps in production. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In existing technologies, material conveying in industrial automated production generally uses conveyor belts, such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, and chain conveyors. By connecting and conveying various industrial equipment through different types of conveyor belts, all industrial equipment is linked together to form a complete industrial automated production line.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-5This utility model provides an adjustable material conveying and limiting device for industrial automation processing, including a conveying platform 1. The conveying platform 1 is configured as a roller conveyor belt in the existing structure. The roller conveyor belt connects several rollers by a belt. A motor is connected to the belt to drive all the rollers to roll, and the material is conveyed by the several rolling rollers.

[0044] The two ends of the roller conveyor belt are respectively set as the material inlet 2 and the material outlet 3 to convey the material.

[0045] During the process of feeding several materials from the feed inlet 2 into the conveying platform 1, when the quantity of materials is too large, the materials will be stacked together and conveyed to the discharge outlet 3. In industrial production, the subsequent production process requires each material to be processed separately. Therefore, it is necessary to flatten the stacked materials to separate them and convey them to the discharge outlet 3 one by one for subsequent processing.

[0046] Furthermore, a leveling device 4 is installed in the middle section of the conveying platform 1. The leveling end of the leveling device 4 is located above the conveying platform 1 and is a height-limiting plate structure. There is a gap between the height-limiting plate and the conveying surface of the conveying platform 1. The gap height is above one material height and below two material heights. This allows stacked materials to be blocked and pushed down by the leveling device 4 during the conveying process, and only one material is allowed to pass through vertically, thus achieving the goal of leveling the stacked materials onto the conveying surface.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the smoothing of the material and its orderly output when it is conveyed to the discharge port 3, so that subsequent industrial equipment can directly process the material after the limit is reached without further positioning work, a limit device is set in the conveying and discharge section of the conveying platform 1. The limit device forms at least two limit channels on the conveying platform to limit the discharge position of the material and realize the positioning and discharge, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, at least one limiting plate 6 is provided on the conveying surface of the conveying platform 1. The limiting plate 6 divides the conveying surface of the conveying platform 1 into at least two limiting channels. The two ends of the limiting channels face the inlet and outlet ports 3, which facilitates the material to be conveyed into the channels. The width of the limiting channel is the width of one material, so that the material can only enter the limiting channel one by one, and the output position of the material is limited (i.e. the outlet position of the two limiting channels), which facilitates the automated processing of the material by the subsequent industrial equipment.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] In industrial production, many types of materials have different specifications. The conveying platform 1 will convey materials of different specifications (i.e., materials of different sizes and volumes). In order to increase the applicability to material specifications, the leveling device 4 should be equipped with an adjustable structure to adjust the limit height of the leveling device 4.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, the adjustable limiting height leveling device 4 includes a paddle 401, a slide bar 402, a connecting plate 403, a support base 404, and a limiting groove 405.

[0052] Specifically, several paddles 401 are arranged above the conveying surface of the conveying platform 1 and are evenly distributed along the direction of the inlet / outlet 3. The lower end of the paddle 401 is the flattening end, that is, the distance between the lower end of the paddle 401 and the conveying surface is the limiting height of the flattening device 4. During the material conveying process, the top of the stacked materials will touch the lower end of the paddle 401, causing the stacked materials to be pushed down by the paddle 401, allowing only one material to pass through the conveying surface below the paddle 401, thereby flattening the material on the conveying surface.

[0053] Each of the upper and lower ends of the paddle 401 is hinged to a slide bar 402. The slide bar 402 is oriented along the length of the inlet / outlet 3. When the upper and lower slide bars 402 move in opposite directions, they will cause all the paddles 401 in the two slide bars 402 to swing synchronously, changing the angle of the paddles 401. This changes the height of the lower end of the paddles 401, thereby adjusting the limiting height of the leveling device 4 to suit materials of different heights.

[0054] The opposing movement of the two slide rods 402 is achieved by a drive component 5, which is a motor fixed to the conveyor platform 1. The middle part of the connecting plate 403 is fixedly clamped to the drive shaft of the motor, and the two ends of the connecting plate 403 are respectively connected to the two slide rods 402. When the motor drives the connecting plate 403 to rotate, one end of the connecting plate 403 swings towards the feed inlet 2, and the other end swings towards the discharge outlet 3, with opposite swing directions. This causes the slide rods 402 at each end to move in opposite directions, thereby causing the lever 401 to swing at an angle.

[0055] The working principle of this structure can be referenced from the working principle of folding and opening louvers in existing technology. When several paddles 401 are in a vertical state on the conveying surface, the limiting height of the leveling device 4 is at its minimum; when several paddles 401 are in a horizontally folded state on the conveying surface, the limiting height of the leveling device 4 is at its maximum.

[0056] In addition, a support base 404 is fixed on the conveyor platform 1. A limiting groove 405 runs through the support base 404 along the direction of the inlet / outlet 3. Two sliding rods 402 are inserted into the limiting groove 405, thereby restricting the lateral displacement of the sliding rods 402 together with the connecting plate 403, and providing support for the sliding rods 402 to improve their structural strength. The two sliding rods 402 can slide vertically in the limiting groove 405 to avoid interference with the movement of the sliding rods 402.

[0057] It is worth noting that several levers 401 cover the entire conveying surface of the conveying platform to ensure that the height of all materials is limited. The connecting plate 403, motor and support base 404 connecting the levers 401 are located on both sides of the conveying edge of the conveying platform 1 (i.e. both sides of the width direction of the roller conveyor belt) to avoid interfering with the materials on the conveying path.

[0058] It is worth noting that the paddle 401 is designed with a thin metal sheet structure. The thin metal sheet structure can bend elastically when impacted by materials, offsetting part of the force and reducing the impact wear of the paddle 401. The metal structure can also improve the structural strength of the paddle 401, making it less prone to damage and reducing the replacement rate. In addition, the surface of the paddle 401 is also covered with a layer of rubber, which provides elastic cushioning and reduces the probability of the paddle 401 being damaged by the metal structure when materials collide.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] In industrial production, many types of materials have different specifications. The conveyor platform 1 will convey materials of different specifications (i.e., materials of different sizes and volumes). In order to increase the applicability to material specifications, the limiting device should also be equipped with an adjustable structure to adjust the width of the limiting channel formed by the limiting device.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the limiting device with adjustable limiting channel width includes a limiting plate 6, a driving component 7, a screw component 8, and a bearing plate 9.

[0062] Specifically, the discharge section of the conveying platform 1 is equipped with one or two limiting plates 6, which are located above the conveying surface (the lower end of the limiting plate 6 is close to the conveying surface but does not contact it to avoid interference). One limiting plate 6 isolates the conveying surface into two limiting channels (two limiting plates 6 isolate the conveying surface into three limiting channels), thereby allowing the material on the conveying surface to be conveyed into the limiting channels for limited conveying.

[0063] One end of the limiting plate 6 is threaded to the screw member 8, which is fixed on the conveying platform 1. The screw inside the screw has threads. When the screw rotates, the rotating threads will drive the limiting plate 6 to move laterally along both sides of the conveying edge of the conveying platform 1, thereby adjusting the width of the limiting channel.

[0064] The screw in screw component 8 is coaxially and fixedly connected to drive component 7. The drive component is fixed on the conveying platform 1. Drive component 7 is a motor, and the motor drives the screw to rotate.

[0065] In addition, the other end of the limiting plate 6 is slidably engaged with the support plate 9, which is fixed on the conveying platform 1 and located above the limiting plate 6. The length direction of the support plate 9 is towards both sides of the conveying edge of the conveying platform 1, so that when the limiting plate 6 moves laterally via the rotating threaded rod, it can slide along the length direction of the support plate 9, avoiding interference. The two ends of the limiting plate 6 are respectively connected to the screw and the support plate 9, so that both ends of the limiting plate 6 provide support and guidance, improving the structural strength of the limiting device and reducing the swaying amplitude of the limiting plate 6 when material collides with it.

[0066] In addition, the end of the limiting plate 6 near the leveling device 4 is set as a cone. When the leveled material touches the limiting plate 6, it is guided by the cone end into the limiting channel separated by the limiting plate 6. A rubber layer is covered on the cone end plate surface of the limiting plate 6 to provide elastic cushioning and reduce the possibility of damage when the material touches the rigid limiting plate 6.

[0067] It is worth noting that during the material conveying process, when facing materials of different widths, if only one limiting plate 6 is connected to the screw component 8, two limiting channels will be generated. The screw in the screw component 8 is a single-threaded screw. The driving component 2 7 drives the screw component 8 to directly move one limiting plate 6 laterally, making one limiting channel wider and the other limiting channel narrower. This allows one limiting channel to match the width of the material and perform material conveying after width adjustment. The other mismatched limiting channel is closed by a sealing plate, allowing material to pass through only one side of the limiting channel.

[0068] When two limiting plates 6 are connected to the screw component 8, three limiting channels are generated. The screw component 8 has two sections of threads with opposite helical directions symmetrically arranged on the screw. Each section of thread is matched with a limiting plate 6. The driving component 7 drives the screw component 8 to move the two limiting plates 6 laterally towards each other or in opposite directions. At this time, the width of the limiting channels on both sides changes in the same way, while the width of the limiting channel in the middle changes in the opposite way. This allows the limiting channels on both sides to match the width of the material (two limiting channels are more efficient than one), and the material is conveyed after the width is adjusted. The limiting channel in the middle that does not match is closed by a sealing plate, and the material is passed through the limiting channels on both sides.

[0069] The various embodiments of this utility model have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this utility model, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art will fully understand how to implement the technical solution of this utility model based on the above description. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
