[0045] With the rapid development of the modern logistics industry towards automation and intelligence, pallets, as standardized carriers, are increasingly widely used in warehousing and transportation, and staff often use pallets to transfer goods.
[0046] In this technology, goods are often stacked on pallets. When transferring goods, workers place the pallets carrying the goods onto a chain conveyor, which then transports the pallets to a designated location, thereby moving the goods to that location.
[0047] However, existing chain conveyors are prone to pallet skew during transport due to vibrations and other factors. This problem is particularly pronounced in chain conveyors transporting large pallets. Furthermore, although guide plates are installed on both sides of the chain conveyor, the large gap between the guide plates and the pallet can cause the pallet to jam and drop when it skews.
[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the anti-deviation chain conveyor device provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the anti-deviation chain conveyor device conveying pallet 500; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the anti-deviation chain conveyor device provided in another embodiment of this application.
[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an anti-deviation chain conveyor device, including a frame 100, a conveying assembly 200, a drive assembly 300, and a guide assembly 400. The frame 100 is a frame structure formed by sequentially connecting multiple profile sections, providing a mounting base for each component. The conveying assembly 200 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100 and is used to move a pallet 500. The drive assembly 300 is fixedly mounted on the frame 100 and is used to drive the conveying assembly 200 to convey the pallet 500. Multiple guide assemblies 400 are provided, spaced apart along the extension direction of the conveying assembly 200 on the frame 100. The guide assemblies 400 are used to limit the pallet 500 on the conveying assembly 200, thereby preventing the pallet 500 from falling due to deviation during conveying. Specifically, multiple guide components 400 are spaced apart on the frame 100 and arranged on both sides of the conveying component 200, thereby limiting the legs of the pallet 500 on the conveying component 200 and preventing the pallet 500 from slipping off the conveying component 200. Compared with the chain conveyor in the prior art, this anti-deviation chain conveyor device can safely convey the pallet 500 and improve the conveying efficiency of the pallet 500.
[0050] Depending on the type of pallet 500 to be transported, the anti-deviation chain conveyor has at least two conveying components 200. These at least two conveying components 200 are arranged along the length of the frame 100, and multiple guide components 400 are arranged beside at least one conveying component 200. It should be noted that the length of the frame 100 can be referenced... Figure 1 shown in the y direction.
[0051] Because the legs of the pallet 500 have a certain length, the distance between two adjacent guide components 400 along the extension direction of the conveying assembly 200 is less than the length of the legs of the pallet 500, thereby preventing the legs from slipping between the two guide components 400 and ensuring that the legs are confined on the conveying assembly 200. For example, some pallets 500 have two rows of legs, and the anti-deviation chain conveyor for conveying these pallets 500 is provided with two conveying assemblies 200. The two conveying assemblies 200 are spaced apart and correspond to the legs on both sides of the pallet 500, and at least one of the two conveying assemblies 200 has multiple guide components 400 spaced apart on its side. When conveying the pallet 500, the legs on both sides of the pallet 500 are respectively placed on the conveying assembly 200, and the multiple guide components 400 confine the corresponding legs on the corresponding conveying assembly 200.
[0052] In other examples, a larger pallet 500 may have three legs; in such cases, the anti-deviation chain conveyor may have three conveying components 200, such as... Figure 2As shown. In this type of anti-deviation chain conveyor, at least one conveying component 200 is provided with a plurality of guide components 400 at intervals on its sides. For example, the conveying component 200 located in the middle position is provided with guide components 400 on both sides. Of course, it can be understood that in order to further reduce the possibility of the pallet 500 falling, guide components 400 can be provided on both sides of each conveying component 200.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, each conveying assembly 200 includes a circulating moving assembly 210 and at least two drive wheels 220. The at least two drive wheels 220 are spaced apart along the length of the frame 100, respectively located at both ends of the frame 100. The circulating moving assembly 210 is wound around all the drive wheels 220, and the drive assembly 300 drives the circulating moving assembly 210 to rotate around the drive wheels 220 to convey the pallet 500. Specifically, the circulating moving assembly 210 can be configured as a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain. When the circulating moving assembly 210 is configured as a conveyor belt, the drive wheels 220 are correspondingly configured as pulleys; when the circulating moving assembly 210 is configured as a conveyor chain, the drive wheels 220 are correspondingly configured as sprockets.
[0054] In some examples, each anti-deviation chain conveyor has at least two conveying assemblies 200, i.e., at least two circulating moving assemblies 210. In some examples, a plurality of guide assemblies 400 are provided beside a circulating moving assembly 210 to limit the corresponding support leg of the pallet 500 on the circulating moving assembly 210. In other examples, a plurality of guide assemblies 400 are provided beside each circulating moving assembly 210. It should be noted that the guide assemblies 400 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 410, and the sides of the guide assemblies 400 are in close contact with the circulating moving assemblies 210, i.e., guide assemblies 400 are provided beside the circulating moving assemblies 210.
[0055] Regarding the arrangement of the guide components 400, in some examples, the guide components 400 on both sides of the cyclic moving component 210 are positioned relative to each other, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two guide components 400 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 410 by tie bolts, and the two guide components 400 are located on both sides of the circulating moving component 210. In some other examples, the guide components 400 on both sides of the circulating moving component 210 are staggered, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0056] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the guide assembly 400 of the anti-deviation chain conveyor; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Front view of guide component 400 in the middle; Figure 6 yes Figure 4 Side view of guide component 400 in the middle.
[0057] For example, the guide assembly 400 includes a rotating shaft 420 and guide wheels 430, with the rotating shaft 420 directly or indirectly mounted on the frame 100. For instance, in some examples, the rotating shaft is fixedly mounted perpendicular to the side of the frame 100, and the guide wheels 430 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 420, serving to limit the movement of the pallet 500 to be transported. (See reference...) Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some other examples, the guide assembly 400 also includes a bracket 410 for fixed mounting on the frame 100. The guide wheel 430 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 420 via bearings, and the rotating shaft 420 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 410. The guide wheel 430 is located on the side of the conveying assembly 200 to restrict the legs of the pallet 500 on the circulating movement assembly 210. Specifically, a limiting space is formed between the guide wheels 430 located on both sides of the circulating movement assembly 210, and the legs of the pallet 500 are located in this limiting space.
[0058] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some examples, the guide wheels 430 are vertically arranged, and the side of the guide wheels 430 facing the circulating movement assembly 210 is configured as a plane. Two guide wheels 430 arranged opposite each other can limit the support legs of the tray 500, preventing the support legs from detaching from the circulating movement assembly 210. (Refer to...) Figure 6 As shown, in some other examples, the guide wheel 430 has a bevel 431 on the side facing the circulating movement assembly 210. The bevel 431 guides the legs of the tray 500, thereby facilitating the initial entry of the legs into the limiting space between the two guide wheels 430 that are positioned opposite each other with respect to the circulating movement assembly 210.
[0059] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a guide component provided in another embodiment of this application.
[0060] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some other examples, the guide rollers 430 are horizontally positioned, and the roller surfaces of the guide rollers 430 are chamfered to facilitate the entry of the legs of the pallet 500 into the limiting space between the two guide rollers 430 that are positioned opposite each other with respect to the circulating movement assembly 210.
[0061] Furthermore, the anti-deviation chain conveyor can be driven in various ways. In some examples, the drive assembly 300 includes a three-phase asynchronous motor and a synchronous shaft. The synchronous shaft is used to connect to all conveying assemblies 200, and the three-phase asynchronous motor drives all conveying assemblies 200 to move synchronously via the synchronous shaft. Specifically, the three-phase asynchronous motor is connected to the synchronous shaft, and the synchronous shaft is connected to the circulating moving assembly 210 of all conveying assemblies 200. The three-phase asynchronous motor drives all circulating moving assemblies 210 to rotate around the drive wheel 220 via the synchronous shaft, thereby conveying the pallet 500.
[0062] In other examples, the drive assembly 300 includes a servo motor and a synchronous shaft. The synchronous shaft is connected to all conveying assemblies 200, and the servo motor drives all conveying assemblies 200 to move synchronously via the synchronous shaft. Similar to the connection described above, the servo motor is connected to the synchronous shaft, which in turn connects to the cyclic moving assemblies 210 of all conveying assemblies 200. The servo motor drives all cyclic moving assemblies 210 to rotate around the drive wheel 220 via the synchronous shaft, thereby conveying the tray 500. In these examples, using a servo motor to drive all cyclic assemblies to rotate around the drive wheel 220 via a synchronous shaft offers significant advantages over a three-phase asynchronous motor in terms of precision control, dynamic response, and energy efficiency.
[0063] In other examples, the drive assembly 300 includes an electric roller connected to all conveying assemblies 200, which drives all conveying assemblies 200 to move synchronously. Compared to the servo motors and three-phase asynchronous motors mentioned above, the electric roller occupies less installation space, effectively reducing the overall size of the chain conveyor.
[0064] The guide component 400 in this embodiment can be used not only in the attached... Figure 1-3 The chain conveyor shown for transporting pallets can also be applied to chain lifting transfer machines and conveyor belt conveyors. The applications of the above-mentioned similar scenarios are all within the protection scope of this embodiment.
[0065] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a warehousing system, including an anti-deviation chain conveyor device as described in the first aspect, the anti-deviation chain conveyor device being used to convey pallets 500. Since this warehousing system includes the anti-deviation chain conveyor device of any of the above-described technical solutions, it possesses all the beneficial effects of the anti-deviation chain conveyor device of any of the above-described technical solutions, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0066] It is readily understood that, based on the several embodiments provided in this application, those skilled in the art can combine, split, or reorganize the embodiments of this application to obtain other embodiments, none of which exceed the protection scope of this application.
[0067] The above detailed embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
