Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically a reciprocating conveyor line based on a ground rail. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production processes, material handling and conveying are crucial, directly affecting production efficiency and the smoothness of overall operations. As a key piece of equipment for material conveying, ground-rail reciprocating conveyor lines are widely used in various production scenarios, from the transfer of parts in manufacturing to the inbound and outbound of goods in the warehousing and logistics industry.

[0003] Traditional reciprocating conveyor lines mostly adopt a centralized drive structure. In this drive mode, the conveyor line relies on a single or a few large motors to achieve reciprocating motion through a transmission device. When the conveyor line needs to carry heavy objects, the limitations of centralized drive are particularly obvious. Since the load of the entire conveyor line is concentrated on a limited number of drive points, the motor not only has to overcome the friction generated by the structure of the conveyor line itself, but also has to drive the heavy load to reciprocate, which can easily lead to motor overload. Once the motor is overloaded, the internal parts may burn out due to overheating, which greatly shortens the service life of the equipment. The failure and downtime seriously affect the continuity and efficiency of production.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a ground-rail-based reciprocating conveyor line with high load capacity and high conveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ground-rail-based reciprocating conveyor line to solve the problems of low load capacity and short service life of existing conveyor lines mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a reciprocating conveyor line based on a ground rail, including a loading section and a unloading section. At least six sets of conveying components are provided on one side of the loading section and the unloading section. A transverse section is provided on one side of each conveying component, and an external conveying device is provided on one side of the transverse section. Each conveying component includes conveying frames arranged on both sides. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the two conveying frames. A corresponding servo motor is provided on the conveying frame on the outer side. Bearing seats are installed at both ends of the two conveying frames along the axial direction. A drive shaft is provided between the bearing seats. At least three sprockets are provided on the drive shaft. A conveying roller is detachably connected between the two drive shafts. A driven chain is meshed between the sprockets at both ends. A driven gear is provided on the drive shaft at the end near the servo motor. A driving gear is provided at the output end of the servo motor. A driving chain is meshed between the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the feeding section and the unloading section are provided with conveying components. The conveying rollers located at one end of the feeding section and the unloading section are detached to facilitate feeding and unloading. A position sensor is provided above the conveying component located in the feeding section.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the transverse section is provided with a conveying component, and a transverse component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying component located in the transverse section. The transverse component includes a slide rail, and a chute guide rail is provided on the slide rail. A notch is provided at the bottom of the conveying frame on one side of the transverse section, and a chute block is fixedly connected to the notch. The chute block is slidably connected to the chute guide rail. A transverse support plate is installed between the conveying frames at both ends of the transverse section. A telescopic cylinder is installed on the connecting plate located in the transverse section. A limit plate is provided between the slide rails on both sides.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the conveyor frame is provided with a chain guide plate below the driven chain, the conveyor frame is detachably connected to both sides with stabilizing plates, and the two sides of the conveyor frame are detachably connected to a support plate.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, a mounting frame is provided on one side of the conveyor frame, and a number of guide wheels are arranged between the mounting frames.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the bottom of the servo motor is detachably connected to a motor support plate, and the motor support plate is detachably connected to the conveyor frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0013] (1) By setting up servo motors and position sensors, the control system controls the operating parameters of each servo motor in real time during transportation, ensuring stable transportation while ensuring that the load of each servo motor does not exceed the preset value, thereby avoiding the load of the entire conveyor line being concentrated on a limited number of drive points, which would cause the motor to overload, burn out internal parts, shorten the service life of the equipment, and reduce the conveying efficiency due to the failure to stop. The position sensor detects in real time whether the material box has reached the designated position. When the material box reaches the preset position, the position sensor sends a signal to the control system, and the control system adjusts the start, stop and speed of the servo motor, thereby avoiding production accidents caused by inaccurate material box position.

[0014] (2) By setting up a transverse component, the material box is transported to the transverse section. The external robot grabs the material in the material box and puts it onto the external conveying device. After the grabbing is completed, the telescopic cylinder is activated to push the conveying component located in the transverse section to move. The conveying component moves smoothly laterally along the chute guide rail. When the conveying component moves to the unloading path, the limit plate fixes the conveying component. The control system starts the servo motor to transport the material box back to the unloading end. Then the forklift transports the material box back to the loading position, thereby realizing the movement of the conveyor line in the transverse direction and providing flexibility for the material box conveying in the round trip direction.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: a reciprocating conveyor line based on a ground rail, including a loading section and a unloading section. At least six sets of conveying components 10 are provided on one side of the loading section and the unloading section. A transverse section is provided on one side of the conveying component 10, and an external conveying device 20 is provided on one side of the transverse section. The conveying component 10 includes conveying frames 11 arranged on both sides. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected between the two conveying frames 11. A corresponding servo motor 30 is provided on the conveying frame 11 on the outer side. Bearing seats 13 are installed at both ends of the two conveying frames 11 along the axial direction. A transmission shaft 31 is arranged between the bearing seats 13. At least three sprockets 32 are arranged on the transmission shaft 31. A conveying roller 14 is detachably connected between the two transmission shafts 31. A driven chain 33 is meshed between the two sprockets 32. A driven gear 34 is arranged on the transmission shaft 31 at the end near the servo motor 30. A driving gear 35 is arranged at the output end of the servo motor 30. A driving chain 36 is meshed between the driving gear 35 and the driven gear 34.

[0026] With this technical solution, the drive gear 35 at the output end of the servo motor 30 rotates accordingly, driving the driven gear 34 on the transmission shaft 31 to rotate via the drive chain 36. This causes the transmission shaft 31 to rotate smoothly around the bearing housing 13. The sprocket 32 ​​on the transmission shaft 31 rotates together with the transmission shaft 31, thereby driving the driven chain 33 between the two sprockets 32 to circulate. The conveying roller 14 between the two transmission shafts 31 starts to rotate under the drive of the transmission shaft 31, and begins to transport the material frame. During the transportation process, the control system controls the operating parameters of each servo motor 30 in real time to ensure stable transportation while ensuring that the load of each servo motor 30 does not exceed the preset value. This avoids the load of the entire conveyor line being concentrated on a limited number of drive points, which could lead to motor overload, burn out internal parts, shorten the service life of the equipment, and reduce the conveying efficiency due to malfunctions.

[0027] Furthermore, the loading section and the unloading section are provided with conveying components 10. The conveying rollers 14 located at one end of the loading section and the unloading section are detached to facilitate loading and unloading. A position sensor 15 is provided above the conveying component 10 located in the loading section.

[0028] Through this technical solution, the position sensor 15 detects in real time whether the material box has reached the designated position. When the material box reaches the preset position, the position sensor 15 sends a signal to the control system, and the control system adjusts the start, stop and speed of the servo motor 30, thereby avoiding production accidents caused by inaccurate material box position.

[0029] Furthermore, the transverse section is provided with a conveying component 10, and a transverse component 40 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying component 10 in the transverse section. The transverse component 40 includes a slide rail 41, and a chute guide rail 42 is provided on the slide rail 41. A notch 43 is provided at the bottom of the conveying frame 11 on one side of the transverse section, and a chute block 44 is fixedly connected to the notch 43. The chute block 44 is slidably connected to the chute guide rail 42. A transverse support plate 45 is installed between the two conveying frames 11 at both ends of the transverse section. A telescopic cylinder 46 is installed on the connecting plate 12 in the transverse section. A limit plate 47 is provided between the two slide rails 41.

[0030] Through this technical solution, the material box is transported to the transverse section, where an external robotic arm grabs the material from the box onto the external conveying device 20. After grabbing, the telescopic cylinder 46 is activated to push the conveying component 10 located in the transverse section to move. The conveying component 10 moves smoothly laterally along the chute guide rail 42. When the conveying component 10 moves to the unloading path, the limit plate 47 fixes the conveying component 10, and the control system starts the servo motor 30 to transport the material box back to the unloading end. Subsequently, the forklift transports the material box back to the loading position, thereby realizing the movement of the conveyor line in the transverse direction and providing flexibility for the material box conveying in both directions.

[0031] Furthermore, the conveyor frame 11 is provided with a chain guide plate 16 below the driven chain 33, and the conveyor frame 11 is detachably connected to both sides with a stabilizing plate 17, and the two sides of the conveyor frame 11 are detachably connected to a support plate 18.

[0032] Through this technical solution, the chain guide plate 16 can support and guide the driven chain 33, reduce the sag of the chain, improve the stability of the chain transmission, and at the same time reduce the noise and vibration caused by chain shaking. The stabilizing plate 17 provides side support for the conveyor frame 11, and the support plate 18 further strengthens the overall frame of the conveyor component 10.

[0033] Furthermore, a mounting frame 19 is provided on one side of the conveyor frame 11, and a number of guide wheels 50 are provided between the mounting frames 19;

[0034] Through this technical solution, the guide wheel 50 can contact the side of the material frame, restricting the material frame on the predetermined conveying path and ensuring that the material frame is conveyed stably along a straight trajectory.

[0035] Furthermore, a motor support plate 37 is detachably connected to the bottom of the servo motor 30, and the motor support plate 37 is detachably connected to the conveyor frame 11.

[0036] With this technical solution, when the servo motor 30 needs to be repaired, replaced or upgraded, there is no need to disassemble the conveyor frame 11 on a large scale, which shortens the maintenance time and reduces the impact on production.

[0037] Working principle: When the conveyor line starts working, the forklift transports the material box containing 1.2 tons of material to the conveying component 10 of the loading section. The position sensor 15 detects in real time whether the material box has reached the designated position. When the material box reaches the preset position, the position sensor 15 sends a signal to the control system, and the control system starts the servo motor 30.

[0038] The drive gear 35 at the output end of the servo motor 30 rotates accordingly, driving the driven gear 34 on the transmission shaft 31 to rotate via the drive chain 36, thereby causing the transmission shaft 31 to rotate smoothly around the bearing seat 13. The sprocket 32 ​​on the transmission shaft 31 rotates together with the transmission shaft 31, thereby driving the driven chain 33 between the two sprockets 32 to rotate in a cycle. The conveying roller 14 between the two transmission shafts 31 starts to rotate under the drive of the transmission shaft 31, and begins to transport the material frame. During the transportation process, the control system controls the operating parameters of each servo motor 30 in real time to ensure stable transportation while ensuring that the load of each servo motor 30 does not exceed the preset value.

[0039] The material box is transported to the transverse section, where an external robotic arm grabs the material from the box onto the external conveying device 20. After grabbing, the telescopic cylinder 46 is activated to push the conveying component 10 located in the transverse section to move. The conveying component 10 moves smoothly laterally along the chute guide rail 42. When the conveying component 10 moves to the unloading path, the limit plate 47 fixes the conveying component 10, and the control system starts the servo motor 30 to transport the material box back to the unloading end. Then, the forklift transports the material box back to the loading position.
