Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying technology, specifically a conveying device for a drying oven. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, the conveying system of a drying oven is an important component. It is responsible for transporting the material to be dried from the inlet into the drying oven and then transporting it out from the outlet after drying. The design and performance of the conveying system of the drying oven directly affect the drying efficiency, drying quality and the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent CN222279178U discloses a conveying device for a drying oven. The device includes a dryer body, a slide rail installed on the lower inner wall of the dryer body, a slot near the inner side of the slide rail, and a placement plate installed inside the slot. Short slide tracks are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the placement plate, and a groove is provided at the side end of the placement plate corresponding to the short slide tracks. A lever is installed inside the groove, and a slider is installed at the upper end of the short slide tracks. A clamping block is installed at the upper end of the slider, and a workpiece is installed between two clamping blocks. A first plate is installed at the lower end of the workpiece, and multiple connecting columns are installed at the lower end of the first plate. A second plate is installed at the lower end of the connecting columns, and a fixing column is installed at the lower end of the second plate. A spring is installed at the lower end of the fixing column, and the spring is installed at the center of the base plate. Both ends of the base plate are connected to the placement plate. The spring head of this device can be freely adjusted according to the shape of the workpiece, clamping the workpiece without affecting its surface.

[0004] Although the above technical solution solves the problem of workpieces tipping over during drying, the clamping force in the above technical solution depends on the weight of the workpiece itself. For lightweight workpieces or workpieces with a shifted center of gravity, insufficient clamping or tilting may occur. If the workpiece is too light, the lever mechanism may not be able to be triggered. Utility Model Content

[0005] Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In order to overcome the problem that the clamping force of the existing drying oven's conveying device depends on the weight of the workpiece, this utility model provides a conveying device for the drying oven whose clamping force does not depend on the weight of the workpiece.

[0007] Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveying device for a drying oven, comprising:

[0009] Base plate;

[0010] The slide rails are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the base plate;

[0011] A sliding plate, which is slidably disposed on top of the slide rail;

[0012] An adjustment assembly, the adjustment assembly being mounted on top of the sliding plate; and

[0013] A clamping assembly is mounted on top of an adjusting assembly. The clamping assembly includes a base, which is fixedly disposed on top of the adjusting assembly. A frame plate is fixedly disposed on the base, and the frame plate is perpendicular to the base plate. A first gear is rotatably disposed on the frame plate, and a first moving rod is fixedly disposed on the first gear. A fixed claw is rotatably disposed on the top of the first moving rod. Rotating rods are rotatably disposed on both sides of the top of the frame plate, and the rotating rods are rotatably disposed with the fixed claws.

[0014] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly provided on the side of the base, and a motor is fixedly provided on the mounting plate. A second gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor by a key, and the second gear meshes with the first gear located on one side.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a slide groove, which is formed on the top of the sliding plate, and a slider is slidably disposed in the slide groove, the slider being fixedly disposed with the base.

[0016] Furthermore, a screw is rotatably installed inside the slide groove, and the screw is threaded to the slider. One end of the screw passes through the sliding plate and is fixedly provided with a handle.

[0017] A further embodiment includes at least two placement slots, each slot being located in the middle of the sliding plate. A sliding column is slidably disposed within the placement slot, and a support plate is fixedly disposed on the top of the sliding column.

[0020] Beneficial effects

[0021] The conveying device of this drying oven features an adjustment component that allows for adjustments to the position and angle of the clamping components. This enables flexible changes in the clamping component's posture to accommodate workpieces of different shapes, sizes, and weights, achieving better clamping results. Whether the workpiece is lightweight or has a shifted center of gravity, the adjustment component can be used to adapt the clamping component to the workpiece's characteristics, preventing insufficient clamping or tilting. For example, for workpieces with a shifted center of gravity, the angle of the clamping component can be adjusted to better align the fixed jaws with the workpiece's center of gravity, enhancing clamping stability. For lightweight workpieces, the position of the clamping component can be fine-tuned to ensure stable clamping. The clamping component's structural design, through the interaction of a first gear, a first moving rod, and a rotating rod, provides clamping force independent of the workpiece's weight. The rotation of the first gear drives the first moving rod, which in turn controls the opening and closing of the fixed jaws. By controlling the rotation of the first gear, the clamping force can be adjusted, unaffected by the workpiece's weight. This solves the problems of insufficient clamping of lightweight workpieces and the inability to trigger the lever mechanism due to the workpiece's light weight. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] See Figures 1-6 A conveying device for a drying oven includes a base plate 1, a slide rail 2, a sliding plate 3, an adjusting component 4, and a clamping component 5.

[0031] The base plate 1 is made of high-strength carbon steel, possessing excellent rigidity and stability. As the fundamental support component of the entire conveying device, it provides a stable mounting platform for the slide rail 2, capable of bearing the weight of the sliding plate 3, adjusting component 4, clamping component 5, and the items to be dried, ensuring that the device will not shake or shift during operation. The slide rail 2 adopts a high-precision linear guide rail, which is firmly fixed to both sides of the top of the base plate 1 with bolts. The surface of the slide rail 2 is finely ground to ensure that the sliding plate 3 slides smoothly on it. The sliding plate 3 is installed on the top of the slide rail 2 and fits tightly with the slide rail 2. It is slidably connected to the slide rail 2 through the slider 16. The sliding plate 3 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength, facilitating movement on the slide rail 2. It can also bear the weight of the adjusting component 4 and clamping component 5. The adjusting component 4 is installed on the top of the sliding plate 3, and its function is to finely adjust the position and angle of the clamping component 5 to accommodate items of different sizes and shapes to be dried.

[0032] The base 6 is made of stainless steel and is fixed to the top of the adjusting assembly 4 by welding, providing stable support for the entire clamping assembly 5. The frame plate 7 is mounted perpendicularly to the base plate 1 on the base 6 and is made of high-strength steel plate, which has good rigidity and can withstand the force generated during clamping. The first gear 8 is rotatably mounted on the frame plate 7 via bearings. The first gear 8 is made of alloy steel and has been quenched, giving it high hardness and wear resistance. The first moving rod 9 is fixed to the first gear 8 via a key connection. The first moving rod 9 is made of aluminum alloy and has a relatively high weight. Lightweight yet strong enough, when the first gear 8 rotates, it will drive the first moving rod 9 to rotate around the axis of the first gear 8. The top of the first moving rod 9 is rotatably equipped with a fixed claw 10 via a pin. The fixed claw 10 is made of wear-resistant rubber with anti-slip texture on the surface, which can better hold the items to be dried. Both sides of the top of the rack plate 7 are rotatably equipped with rotating rods 11 via bearings. The rotating rods 11 and the fixed claws 10 are rotatably connected via pins. When the first moving rod 9 rotates, it will drive the fixed claws 10 to move through the rotating rods 11, realizing the opening and closing action of the fixed claws 10.

[0033] A mounting plate 12 is bolted to the side of the base 6. A motor 13 is bolted to the mounting plate 12. The output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to a second gear 14 via a key. The second gear 14 is made of alloy steel and meshes with the first gear 8 located on one side. When the motor 13 starts, the output shaft drives the second gear 14 to rotate. The second gear 14 drives the first gear 8 to rotate through meshing transmission, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the fixing claw 10 and completing the clamping and releasing operation of the items to be dried.

[0034] First, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the slide groove 15 in the adjustment component 4 is opened on the top of the sliding plate 3. The slide groove 15 is made of high precision machining, and its inner wall is smooth and highly parallel, providing a stable track for the sliding of the slider 16. The slider 16 is placed in the slide groove 15 and fixed together with the base 6 by welding or bolt connection. This connection ensures the firm combination of the slider 16 and the base 6, so that the base 6 can move with the movement of the slider 16.

[0035] A screw 17 is rotatably mounted inside the slide 15. The screw 17 is made of high-strength alloy steel and has good wear resistance and rigidity. The screw 17 and the slider 16 are threaded together. When the handle 18 fixed at one end of the screw 17 is rotated, the screw 17 starts to rotate. According to the principle of thread transmission, the rotational motion of the screw 17 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 16 along the slide 15, which in turn drives the base 6 connected to it to move horizontally on the sliding plate 3. The operator can precisely control the movement distance of the base 6 by rotating the handle 18, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping component 5 to accommodate items of different widths or placement positions. For example, when conveying wider items, the handle 18 can be rotated to move the base 6 outward, increasing the distance between the clamping components 5. If conveying narrower items, the handle 18 can be rotated in the opposite direction to move the base 6 inward.

[0036] Then, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In this embodiment, at least two placement slots 19 are provided in the middle of the sliding plate 3 to provide vertical sliding space for the sliding column 20. The size of the placement slots 19 is adapted to the sliding column 20 to ensure that the sliding column 20 can slide smoothly within the placement slots 19. The sliding column 20 is made of metal material with high strength. A support plate 21 is fixedly installed on its top by welding or bolting. The support plate 21 is used to support the items to be dried. Its surface is flat to ensure that the items are placed stably. One end of a spring 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 21, and the other end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement slot 19. Furthermore, the spring 24 is sleeved on the sliding column 20. Here, the spring 24 plays the role of buffering and adaptive adjustment. When the item to be dried is placed on the support plate 21, the weight of the item will cause the support plate 21 to move downward, compressing the spring 24. The elastic force of the spring 24 will support the support plate 21 upward, so that the support plate 21 can automatically adjust its height according to the weight of the item and keep the item in a suitable position. For example, for lighter items, the compression of the spring 24 is smaller, and the height of the support plate 21 is relatively higher. For heavier items, the compression of the spring 24 is larger, and the height of the support plate 21 is correspondingly lower.

[0037] Finally, see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the elongated groove 22 on the base plate 1 cooperates with the sliding column 20. One end of the sliding column 20 passes through the sliding plate 3 and extends to the outside. A horizontal plate 23 is fixedly installed at its bottom by welding or bolt connection. The horizontal plate 23 slides with the inner wall of the elongated groove 22. This connection method allows the horizontal plate 23 to slide synchronously in the elongated groove 22 when the sliding column 20 moves in the vertical direction. The presence of the horizontal plate 23 increases the connection stability between the sliding columns 20 and also plays a certain guiding role. When the sliding column 20 moves up and down due to the weight of the item or other external forces, the sliding of the horizontal plate 23 in the elongated groove 22 can ensure that the movement direction of the sliding column 20 is vertical and stable, avoiding the sliding column 20 from tilting or shaking. This ensures that the support plate 21 can stably support the items to be dried and improves the stability and reliability of the conveying device.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] When using the conveying device of the drying oven, firstly, according to the size of the workpiece to be dried, rotate the handle 18 at one end of the screw 17 in the adjusting component 4. The rotation of the screw 17 drives the slider 16 to slide in the slide groove 15. Since the slider 16 is fixed to the base 6, the base 6 moves horizontally on the sliding plate 3, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping component 5 so that the distance between the two fixed claws 10 is adapted to the width of the workpiece.

[0040] Place the workpiece to be dried on the middle support plate 21 of the sliding plate 3. If the workpiece is heavy, the support plate 21 will move downward and compress the spring 24. The elastic force of the spring 24 will support the support plate 21 upward and keep the workpiece at a suitable height. If the workpiece is light, the spring 24 will be compressed less and the support plate 21 will be relatively high, ensuring that the workpiece is placed stably.

[0041] The motor 13 on the side mounting plate 12 of the start base 6 is activated. The output shaft of the motor 13 drives the second gear 14 to rotate. The second gear 14 meshes with the first gear 8 on one side, driving the first gear 8 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 8 causes the first moving rod 9 to rotate around its axis. The first moving rod 9 drives the fixed claw 10 to move through the rotating rod 11 at the top. The two fixed claws 10 rotate towards each other, firmly clamping the workpiece.

[0042] Push the sliding plate 3 so that it slides on the slide rail 2 to transport the clamped workpiece into the drying oven for drying. During the transport process, the sliding column 20 slides in the placement groove 19 and the horizontal plate 23 slides in the long groove 22 of the bottom plate 1 to ensure that the sliding column 20 moves vertically and stably, and to ensure that the support plate 21 smoothly supports the workpiece and prevents the workpiece from shaking or tipping over during the transport process.

[0043] After the workpiece is dried, slide the sliding plate 3 out of the drying oven, start the motor 13 to reverse, so that the second gear 14 drives the first gear 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, the fixed claw 10 opens, releases the workpiece, and removes the workpiece from the support plate 21, completing one conveying process.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
