Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling equipment technology, and more specifically, to a plate chain cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, many products or materials require cooling after processing to meet subsequent process requirements or product quality standards. Plate chain conveyors, with their stable and efficient conveying characteristics, have become a common method for transporting products or materials in many cooling systems. Using plate chain conveyors enables continuous cooling operations, ensuring the orderly flow of products during the cooling process, which meets the needs of large-scale production. However, many current cooling systems based on plate chain conveyors still have significant drawbacks. In the material supply stage, existing plate chain conveyors often rely on manual loading. However, manual loading is inefficient, difficult to keep up with the high-speed production pace, and prone to inaccurate loading positions due to inconsistent manual operation, affecting the stability of subsequent cooling processes and product quality. Furthermore, manual loading increases labor costs and management difficulty, becoming a key factor restricting capacity improvement in the current labor shortage. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a plate chain cooling device, comprising:
[0024] Fixed plate 1, with a fixed bracket 2 fixedly installed on the top of fixed plate 1;
[0025] The feeding mechanism is installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 2;
[0026] The feeding mechanism includes a slide rail 3, a drive motor 9 is fixedly installed at the front end of the slide rail 3, a screw is fixedly sleeved at the output end of the drive motor 9, a slider 4 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the screw, the outer surface of the slider 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 3, a moving plate 5 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slider 4, a cylinder 6 is provided on the moving plate 5, a movable block 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the cylinder 6, and a pneumatic gripper 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable block 7.
[0027] When the drive motor 9 runs, it will drive the screw to rotate. Since the screw is threadedly connected to the slider 4, the slider 4 will move left and right under the drive of the screw. At this time, the slider 4 will drive the cylinder 6 to move left and right through the moving plate 5. When the cylinder 6 runs, the movable block 7 will drive the gripper 8 to move up and down. When the gripper 8 contacts the material, if the gripper 8 is running, it will be able to clamp and fix the material.
[0028] The bottom end of the fixed plate 1 is fixedly installed with a bracket 10, and the bottom end of the bracket 10 is provided with a caster wheel 12.
[0029] Due to the design of the bracket 10, it can provide good support for the entire fixed plate 1. Due to the design of the casters 12, the entire fixed plate 1 can be moved easily.
[0030] The fixed plate 1 has rotating shafts 13 movably sleeved on both the left and right sides inside. The outer surface of the rotating shafts 13 is fixedly sleeved with sprockets 14. There are two sets of sprockets 14, and the two sets of sprockets 14 are connected by chain drive.
[0031] Since the two sets of sprockets 14 are connected by a chain for transmission, when the shaft 13 rotates, the two sets of sprockets 14 will rotate simultaneously.
[0032] Among them, a power motor 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing plate 1, and the output end of the power motor 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13.
[0033] When the power motor 16 is running, the rotating shaft 13 will rotate.
[0034] The fixed plate 1 is internally connected to a movable plate 17, the outer surface of the movable plate 17 is fixedly connected to the chain, and a moving block 18 is provided on the movable plate 17.
[0035] When the chain moves, it will drive the moving block 18 to move to the left through the movable plate 17. When the pneumatic gripper 8 drives the material into the moving block 18, the feeding operation will be completed.
[0036] The top of the fixed plate 1 is fixedly installed with a cooling box 19, the inside of the cooling box 19 is fixedly installed with a support plate 20, and the top of the support plate 20 is provided with a cooling fan 21.
[0037] When the cooling fan 21 is running, it will blow air downwards. When the material moves into the cooling box 19 driven by the moving block 18, the cooling fan 21 will quickly cool the material, thereby achieving the cooling effect.
[0038] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0039] First, the operator starts cylinder 6. Cylinder 6 then drives the gripper 8 downwards via the movable block 7. During this downward movement, gripper 8 contacts the material. Next, the operator starts gripper 8 again, clamping and securing the material. Then, the operator starts cylinder 6 again, causing gripper 8 to move the material upwards. Next, the operator starts drive motor 9, causing the screw to rotate. Because the screw is threaded into the slider 4, its rotation drives the slider 4. Due to the internal design of the slide rail 3, the movement of the slider 4 is limited, ensuring the slider... 4 can only move back and forth. At this time, the slider 4 will move forward along the inside of the slide rail 3 under the drive of the screw. During this process, the slide rail 3 will drive the cylinder 6 to move forward as a whole through the moving plate 5. When the gripper 8 moves the material to the top of the moving block 18, the operator will start the cylinder 6 again, so that the gripper 8 moves the material downward. When the material moves into the inside of the moving block 18, the material will be inserted into the inside of the moving block 18. Then the operator will start the gripper 8 to release the material. At this time, the material will stay inside the moving block 18, thus realizing the automatic feeding function.
[0040] Next, the operator starts the power motor 16, at which point the rotating shaft 13 will rotate. At the same time, the two sets of sprockets 14 will rotate simultaneously via the chain. During this process, the chain will drive the moving block 18 to move to the left via the movable plate 17. At the same time, the material will move to the left under the drive of the moving block 18. When the moving block 18 moves the material into the cooling box 19, the operator starts the cooling fan 21. The cooling fan 21 will then blow air onto the material inside the moving block 18, thereby rapidly cooling the material and achieving the function of cooling the material.
