[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment of a chain conveyor transverse frame includes a fixed frame 1 and a base frame 8 located at the bottom of the fixed frame 1. Both the fixed frame 1 and the base frame 8 are directly fixed to the ground to increase stability. Baffles 4 are provided on both sides of the top of the fixed frame 1 to limit the movement space of the shelf panels 5 and prevent goods from shifting. Three chain drive frames 6 are provided on the top of the base frame 8, forming the chain drive framework. Two proximity switch sensors 10 are fixedly installed on the right side of the base frame 8. Shelf panels 5 are positioned between the two baffles 4. Chain drive shafts 13 are provided at both ends of the three chain drive frames 6, serving as the transmission components for the chains on the chain drive frames 6. Crossbeams 11 are connected to both ends of the bottom of the three chain drive frames 6, connecting the beams of the three chain drive frames 6. A connecting frame 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of each of the three chain drive frames 6. A chain drive compartment 14 is provided inside the connecting frame 12 and at the bottom of each of the three chain drive frames 6. A clearance hole is provided at the bottom of each of the three chain drive frames 6 and at the top of each of the three chain drive compartments 14. The outer shell of the chain drive structure 7 is a container. Two chain guide frames 16 are fixedly installed inside the three chain drive compartments 14 and near the top to prevent the chain from rubbing against other parts. At the same time, they are limiting parts that help the chain turn. Two chain limiting grooves 17 are provided on the side of each of the six chain guide frames 16 away from the inner wall of the chain drive compartment 14. The connecting frame 12 is provided with a chain drive structure 7 for driving the transport of goods.

[0023] Two rear support plates 2 and two front support plates 3 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the chain drive frame 6 on both sides to support the foot plates of the chain drive frame 6. A ground rail moving frame 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the two rear support plates 2. A moving structure 9 that drives the ground rail moving frame 15 to move horizontally is set between the bottom of the ground rail moving frame 15 and the base frame 8.

[0024] It should be noted that the bottom of the two front support plates 3 is equipped with casters.

[0025] Specifically, when a chain conveyor is needed to transfer goods, the goods can be lifted by the stacker crane, and then the three chain drive frames 6 on the base frame 8 are moved horizontally by the moving structure 9 under the action of the two rear support plates 2 and the two front support plates 3. The shelf plate 5 on the top of the chain drive frame 6 is then placed under the goods on the stacker crane. After that, the stacker crane is released to place the goods on top of the shelf plate 5. Then the moving structure 9 is activated to reset the chain drive frame 6 to its original position. Then the chain drive structure 7 is activated, so that the chain drive structure 7 drives the top shelf plate 5 and the goods to other conveying equipment, thereby realizing the entire chain conveyor process of the transverse frame.

[0026] In this embodiment, the chain drive structure 7 includes a servo motor 701, a drive gear 702, a drive chain 703, a driven gear 704, a drive shaft 705, three drive gears 706, and three conveyor chains 707. The servo motor 701 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting frame 12. The drive gear 702 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 701. The drive shaft 705 is transversely arranged between the three chain drive chambers 14 through bearings. The driven gear 704 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drive shaft 705 between two of the chain drive chambers 14. The drive chain 703 is respectively sleeved between the driven gear 704 and the drive gear 702. The three drive gears 706 are respectively arranged on the outer surface of the drive shaft 705 inside the three chain drive chambers 14. The three conveyor chains 707 are respectively connected to the drive gears 706 inside the three chain drive chambers 14 and the two chain drive shafts 13 at both ends of the three chain drive chambers 14.

[0027] Among them, the surfaces of the three chain drive compartments 14 are provided with through holes through which the drive shaft 705 can pass through, and the conveyor chain 707 is arranged in a U-shape inside the drive gear plate 706 and the chain limiting groove 17 of the two chain bogies 16.

[0028] It should be noted that multiple drive shafts 13 can be installed inside the chain drive frame 6 to increase the stability of chain transportation.

[0029] Specifically, when the chain drive structure 7 is needed to drive the goods on the shelf 5 to move horizontally, the servo motor 701 can drive the active gear 702 to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission chain 703 connected to the active gear 702 to drive the driven gear 704 on the transmission shaft 705 to rotate. The transmission shaft 705 is fixed to the transmission gear 706, which causes the transmission gear 706 to drive the conveyor chain 707 inside the chain drive compartment 14 to rotate. As the conveyor chain 707 rotates, it will drive the shelf 5 on top and the goods to move to achieve the function of transporting goods.

[0030] In this embodiment, the moving structure 9 includes a reduction motor 901, a rack 902, two slide rails 903, and two carriages 904. The reduction motor 901 is fixedly installed on the top of the ground rail moving frame 15, the rack 902 is fixedly installed on the top of the base frame 8, the two slide rails 903 are respectively fixedly installed on the top two sides of the base frame 8, and the tops of the two carriages 904 are fixedly installed on the two sides of the ground rail moving frame 15, and the bottoms of the two carriages 904 are respectively slidably arranged with the two slide rails 903.

[0031] The output end of the geared motor 901 is equipped with a gear that meshes with the rack 902.

[0032] Specifically, when it is necessary to move the structure 9 to move the goods horizontally on the base frame 8, the geared motor 901 can be turned on, which will cause the gear at the output end of the geared motor 901 to move on the rack 902. The geared motor 901 is installed on the connecting frame 12 between the front support plate 3 and the rear support plate 2, so that the front support plate 3 and the rear support plate 2, under the action of the casters, the slide rails 903 and the slide 904, drive the shelf plate 5 on the chain drive frame 6 to move horizontally on the base frame 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom ends of the middle chain drive frame 6 are respectively fixedly installed with a feeding sensor photoelectric 18 and a positioning sensor photoelectric 19.

[0034] It should be noted that the feed sensing photoelectric sensor 18 senses changes in obstruction or reflection through photoelectric signals (such as infrared light), triggering a signal to start the line of sight movement of the chain drive structure 7 inside the chain drive frame 6. Similarly, the positioning sensing photoelectric sensor 19 senses changes in obstruction or reflection through photoelectric signals (such as infrared light) to detect whether the material has moved to the preset position. When the sensor detects this, it sends a signal to confirm that the positioning is complete.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
