Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller conveyor technology, and in particular to a carton through-type rotating side-mounted conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] A roller conveyor line (or roller line for short) is a type of conveyor line consisting of roller frames and rollers. The rollers are evenly arranged on the top surface of the roller frames, parallel to each other, and generally perpendicular to the direction in which the rollers are set with the roller frames. It can transport items placed on the rollers in a straight line.

[0003] An edge-aligning roller conveyor is a special type of roller conveyor with several angled rollers. During the conveying process, items gradually move towards the edge until they are conveyed close to the edge, thus achieving edge-aligning conveying. This is an existing technology. For example, the authorized patent for an edge-aligning roller conveyor with publication (announcement) number CN209382774U and publication (announcement) date of 2019-09-13 discloses an implementable edge-aligning roller conveyor. The edge-aligning roller conveyor itself only has the function of edge conveying and cannot adjust the direction of the items. It can be used in conjunction with stacking robots and palletizing robots for palletizing.

[0004] Roller conveyors are frequently used as transport devices in palletizing production lines, working in conjunction with other components to palletize and transport items. A common approach is for roller conveyors to work with stacking robots to orient items, adjusting their shape, and then with palletizing robots to stack them together. However, this method relies heavily on stacking robots to adjust the direction and position of items, resulting in high costs and difficulties in maintenance and repair. While roller conveyors can easily rotate boxes to assist in palletizing, their high cost and maintenance challenges prevent them from meeting the practical needs of many customers. If roller conveyors could adjust the direction of the transported items themselves, they could replace stacking robots, reducing costs.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, a carton through-type rotating side conveyor line is specially provided to solve the technical problem that the current side roller line can only realize the conveying function and cannot adjust the direction of the items. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a through-type rotating side-mounted conveyor line for cartons, which solves the technical problem that current side-mounted roller conveyors can only perform the conveying function and cannot adjust the direction of the items.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0008] The carton through-type rotating side conveyor line includes three roller frames arranged in a straight line. The three roller frames are the first roller frame, the second roller frame, and the third roller frame. Each of the first roller frame, the second roller frame, and the third roller frame is equipped with a set of conveying rollers. A turning mechanism is fixed on the side of the top of the second roller frame.

[0009] The conveying rollers on the first and third roller frames are uniformly distributed inclined rollers, while the conveying rollers on the second roller frame are uniformly distributed vertical rollers.

[0010] The turning mechanism includes a rotary cylinder, the rotating end of which is connected to a swing arm, the swing arm being connected to a wheel frame, and the end of the wheel frame being connected to a turning wheel.

[0011] The top of the roller frame is connected to a side plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the roller frame includes a support frame, the top of which is provided with two vertical and parallel mounting side plates, the conveying roller is located between the two mounting side plates, the left and right ends of the conveying roller are respectively connected to the inner sides of the two mounting side plates, and the bottom of the support frame is provided with feet.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the side guard plate is located at the top of the mounting side plate, and the side guard plates of the three roller frames are located on the same side. The specific side on which the side guard plate is located depends on which side the goods transported by the side roller are located on.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the turning mechanism includes a connecting seat, a rotary cylinder is disposed on the top of the connecting seat, a swing arm controlled by the rotary cylinder rotates on a horizontal plane, and the turning wheel is arranged in a horizontal direction;

[0015] The side of the connector is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting side plate.

[0016] This invention employs a three-section conveyor system, comprising an inclined roller and a vertical roller. A turning and reversing mechanism is installed on the side of the vertical roller section. This allows materials to automatically move towards the edge during conveying using this solution. Upon reaching the vertical roller section, the turning and reversing mechanism enables direction adjustment as needed, achieving a change in direction. Afterward, the materials are transported to the edge, achieving orientation control. The output items are always placed close to the edge, and their orientation is also adjusted. This replaces the stacking robot, achieving direction and orientation adjustment. It can be directly used in conjunction with a stacking robot to stack and realize the palletizing process.

[0017] This solution requires the controller to be set with the desired palletizing pattern to control the operation of the flipping and reversing mechanism. Initially, the flipping and reversing mechanism is in a retracted state, meaning the swing arm is parallel to the conveying direction under the rotational transmission of the rotary cylinder, and the reversing wheel does not obstruct the normal passage of goods. When the flipping and reversing mechanism needs to change the direction of items, the swing arm rotates, the reversing wheel is positioned against the edge in front of the goods, and the passing goods are reversed under the action of the reversing wheel and the vertical roller. After the reversal is completed, the flipping and reversing mechanism quickly returns to its original position and remains in use until the next item is about to pass.

[0018] After the items enter the inclined roller of the first roller frame, they are conveyed forward along the edge. After reaching the second roller frame, they continue to be conveyed forward along the edge. Items that do not need to change direction pass directly through the flipping and turning mechanism. Items that need to change direction will have the flipping and turning mechanism pop out to assist them. After passing through the flipping and turning mechanism, all items are conveyed in a straight line to the third roller frame. The inclined roller on the third roller frame conveys all the items outward along the edge again. The output position is where the end is close to the side guard plate, and the direction has been adjusted according to the stacking requirements.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This edge conveyor line not only enables edge conveying but also allows for on-demand adjustment of the goods' orientation without affecting the final edge output. It replaces the stacking robot, enabling orientation and position adjustment and solving the technical problem that current edge roller lines can only convey goods without adjusting their orientation. Therefore, stacking robots can be omitted during palletizing, reducing palletizing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] See Figures 1-5The carton through-type rotating side conveyor line includes three roller frames 13, which are arranged in a straight line. The three roller frames 13 are the first roller frame 3, the second roller frame 2, and the third roller frame 1. Each of the first roller frame 3, the second roller frame 2, and the third roller frame 1 is equipped with a set of conveying rollers 16. A turning mechanism 5 is fixed on the side of the top of the second roller frame 2.

[0035] The conveying rollers 16 on the first roller frame 3 and the third roller frame 1 are uniformly distributed inclined rollers 4, and the conveying rollers 16 on the second roller frame 2 are uniformly distributed vertical rollers 6.

[0036] The flipping and reversing mechanism 5 includes a rotary cylinder 7, the rotating end of the rotary cylinder 7 is connected to a swing arm 8, the swing arm 8 is connected to a wheel frame 9, and the end of the wheel frame 9 is connected to a reversing wheel 11.

[0037] A side plate 12 is connected to the top of the roller frame 13.

[0038] The roller frame 13 includes a support frame 14. The top of the support frame 14 is provided with two vertical and parallel mounting side plates 17. The conveying roller 16 is located between the two mounting side plates 17. The left and right ends of the conveying roller 16 are respectively connected to the inner sides of the two mounting side plates 17. The bottom of the support frame 14 is provided with feet 15.

[0039] Side guard plate 12 is set at the top of the mounting side plate 17. The side guard plates 12 of the three roller frames are set on the same side. The specific side to which they are set depends on which side the goods transported by the side roller are located.

[0040] The turning mechanism 5 includes a connecting seat 10, a rotary cylinder 7 is set on the top of the connecting seat 10, the swing arm 8 controlled by the rotary cylinder 7 rotates on the horizontal plane, and the turning wheel 11 is set in the horizontal direction.

[0041] The side of the connecting seat 10 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting side plate 17.

[0042] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 These two diagrams illustrate the conveying and repositioning of carton 18 in this solution for ease of understanding. Figure 6 The central turning mechanism 5 is in the retracted state and is not working. Figure 7The turning and reversing mechanism 5 is in operation. This utility model adopts a three-section conveyor, including an inclined roller 4 and a vertical roller 6. The turning and reversing mechanism 5 is installed on the side of the vertical roller 6 section. When the material is conveyed using this solution, it can automatically move towards the side. When it reaches the vertical roller 6 section, the turning and reversing mechanism 5 can be used to adjust the direction as needed to achieve a change of direction, that is, direction control. Then it is transported to the side to achieve orientation control. The output items are all placed close to the side and the direction is also adjusted. It replaces the stacking robot to realize the adjustment of direction and orientation. It can be directly used with the stacking robot to stack and realize the palletizing process.

[0043] When using this solution, the required palletizing pattern needs to be set in conjunction with the controller to control the operation of the flipping and reversing mechanism 5. In the initial state, the flipping and reversing mechanism 5 is in a retracted state, meaning that under the rotational transmission of the rotary cylinder 7, the swing arm 8 is parallel to the conveying direction, and the reversing wheel 11 does not affect the normal passage of goods. When the flipping and reversing mechanism 5 needs to change the direction of items, the swing arm 8 rotates, and the reversing wheel 11 blocks the item from the edge. The passing item is reversed under the action of the reversing wheel 11 and the vertical roller 6. After the reversal is completed, the flipping and reversing mechanism 5 quickly returns to its original position until the next item is about to pass, at which point it is turned out for use again.

[0044] After the items enter the inclined roller 4 of the first roller frame 3, they are conveyed forward along the edge. After reaching the second roller frame 2, they continue to be conveyed forward along the edge. Items that do not need to change direction pass directly through the flipping and turning mechanism 5. Items that need to change direction will have the flipping and turning mechanism 5 pop out to assist in the change of direction. After passing through the flipping and turning mechanism 5, all items are conveyed in a straight line to the third roller frame 1. The inclined roller 4 on the third roller frame 1 conveys all the items outward along the edge again. The output position is where the end is close to the side plate 12, and the direction has been adjusted according to the stacking requirements.

[0045] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0046] This edge conveyor line not only enables edge conveying but also allows for on-demand adjustment of the goods' orientation without affecting the final edge output. It replaces the stacking robot, enabling orientation and position adjustment and solving the technical problem that current edge roller lines can only convey goods without adjusting their orientation. Therefore, stacking robots can be omitted during palletizing, reducing palletizing costs.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
