[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an online alignment mechanism of this utility model includes: a base 1 with an opening 11; a horizontal detection component including a first horizontal detection element 2 and a second horizontal detection element 3, both connected to the base 1 and located at the edge of the opening 11, with the center line of the first horizontal detection element 2 perpendicular to the center line of the second horizontal detection element 3; and a height detection element 4 connected to the base 1 and located at the edge of the opening 11.

[0023] This embodiment provides an online alignment mechanism. The online alignment mechanism is placed at the docking position of two conveyor belts to be leveled, meaning it is simultaneously located at the ends of both conveyor belts with the level detection components facing upwards. The first level detection component 2 and the second level detection component 3 are then observed, along with the value displayed by the height detection component 4. By adjusting the posture and position of the conveyor belts to be leveled, both the first level detection component 2 and the second level detection component 3 are shown to be level, and the value displayed by the height detection component 4 reaches the design target. At this point, the two conveyor belts are in a leveled state. Because the center lines of the first level detection component 2 and the second level detection component 3 are vertically aligned, the levelness of the two conveyor belts in different directions can be displayed. The height detection component 4 helps determine whether the two conveyor belts are level based on the height value. When both the first level detection component 2 and the second level detection component 3 are shown to be level, the two conveyor belts are in a finely leveled state. This eliminates the need for multiple adjustments to the conveyor belts during material flow testing, thereby improving the leveling efficiency of the conveyor belts.

[0024] The base 1 is generally rectangular flat and is used to install the level detection component and the height detection component 4. The top plane of the base 1 is parallel to the bottom plane. The top of the base 1 has an opening 11 that runs vertically through the base 1. The opening 11 allows observation of the docking position of the two conveyor belts to be leveled, preventing the two conveyor belts from abutting each other. At the same time, the opening 11 reduces the overall weight of the online alignment mechanism, making it easier to handle. The side wall of the opening 11 has at least two grooves 12. In this embodiment, the side wall of the opening 11 has two grooves 12, which are located at two adjacent included angles of the opening 11. The grooves 12 can be used to engage with the support rods in the conveyor belts, thereby fixing and positioning the online alignment mechanism. The grooves 12 can also be used to engage with the support rods, thereby facilitating the storage and fixing of the online alignment mechanism.

[0025] The base 1 is also provided with at least two positioning holes 13. Both positioning holes 13 are located on the edge of the opening 11, and the two positioning holes 13 are located at two opposite angles on the opening 11. The positioning holes 13 are used to engage with the positioning posts on the two conveyor belts to be leveled, so as to facilitate the positioning and fixing of the alignment mechanism of the connecting machine.

[0026] The base 1 is also provided with two limiting holes 14. The two limiting holes 14 are located on the same side of the opening 11, and the cross-section of the two limiting holes 14 is rectangular. Fasteners such as bolts pass through the limiting holes 14 and are connected to the conveyor belt to be leveled, thereby limiting the position of the online alignment mechanism and preventing the online alignment mechanism from detaching from the conveyor belt to be leveled.

[0027] A level detection assembly is used to detect the levelness of two conveyor belts to be leveled. The level detection assembly includes a first level detection element 2 and a second level detection element 3. Both the first level detection element 2 and the second level detection element 3 are connected to the base 1 and located at the edge of the opening 11, and the center line of the first level detection element 2 is perpendicular to the center line of the second level detection element 3. Specifically, the first level detection element 2 and the second level detection element 3 can be regarded as a level and multiple such elements are provided. The center lines of the multiple first level detection elements 2 are parallel to each other, and the centers of the multiple second level detection elements 3 are parallel to each other. The multiple first level detection elements 2 and the multiple second level detection elements 3 are located around the opening 11. In this embodiment, two of each of the first level detection elements 2 and the second level detection element 3 are provided. The two first level detection elements 2 are located at one pair of opposite edges of the opening 11, and the two second level detection elements 3 are located at the other pair of opposite edges of the opening 11. The first level detection elements 2 are arranged horizontally, and the second level detection elements 3 are arranged vertically. Different numbers of first level detection elements 2 and second level detection elements 3 can be provided according to the size of the base 1. By setting the center line of the first horizontal detection element 2 perpendicular to the center line of the second horizontal detection element 3, the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 can detect the levelness in different directions. Furthermore, by setting multiple first horizontal detection elements 2 and second horizontal detection elements 3, the detection accuracy is improved.

[0028] Reference Figure 2As shown, the base 1 is also provided with a first mounting hole 15 and a second mounting hole 16. Both the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 16 are blind holes. The number of first mounting holes 15 corresponds to the number of first horizontal detection elements 2, and the number of second mounting holes 16 corresponds to the number of second horizontal detection elements 3. The first horizontal detection elements 2 are located in the first mounting hole 15, and the second horizontal detection elements 3 are located in the second mounting hole 16. The first horizontal detection elements 2 can be fixed in the first mounting hole 15 by bolt connection, and the second horizontal detection elements 3 can be fixed in the second mounting hole 16 by bolt connection. The first horizontal detection element 2 is fitted with the bottom of the first mounting hole 15, and the second horizontal detection element 3 is fitted with the bottom of the second mounting hole 16. Simultaneously, the plane containing the bottom of the first mounting hole 15 is parallel to the plane containing the bottom of the second mounting hole 16, and both the bottom planes of the first and second mounting holes 15 are parallel to the plane on the base 1 away from the horizontal detection component. That is, the bottom planes of the first and second mounting holes 15 are parallel to the plane on the base 1 used to contact the conveyor belt to be leveled, and the bottom of the base 1 is the side that contacts the conveyor belt to be leveled. This improves the detection accuracy of the first and second horizontal detection elements 2 and 3. Preferably, the bottom planes of the first and second mounting holes 15 and 16 are coplanar with the plane on the base 1 away from the horizontal detection component, and the top planes of the first and second horizontal detection elements 2 and 3 are coplanar with the top plane of the base 1. This ensures that the first and second horizontal detection elements 2 and 3 have the same installation depth on the base 1, further improving detection accuracy.

[0029] In another embodiment, both the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 16 penetrate the base 1, that is, both the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 16 are through holes. The bottom plane of the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 is coplanar with the plane on the side of the base 1 away from the horizontal detection component, that is, the bottom plane of the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 is coplanar with the bottom plane of the base 1. This allows the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 to directly contact the conveyor belt to be leveled, improving the detection accuracy while reducing the processing difficulty of the mounting holes.

[0030] The sidewall of the first mounting hole 15 fits against the sidewall of the first horizontal detection element 2, and the sidewall of the second mounting hole 16 fits against the sidewall of the second horizontal detection element 3, thereby preventing the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 from shaking in the mounting hole and improving the detection accuracy.

[0031] The height detection element 4 can be considered as a height sensor. It is connected to the base 1 and located at the edge of the opening 11. Specifically, the base 1 also has a third mounting hole 17, in which the height detection element 4 is fixed, and the top of the height detection element 4 is coplanar with the top of the base 1. Preferably, two height detection elements 4 are provided and located at opposite side edges of the opening 11, so that the values ​​of the two height detection elements 4 can help determine whether the two conveyor belts are on the same plane.

[0032] The base 1 is also equipped with a controller. The horizontal detection component and the height detection component 4 are both connected to the controller. The base 1 is also equipped with a display screen 5, which is connected to the controller. Thus, the values ​​of the first horizontal detection component 2, the second horizontal detection component 3 and the height detection component 4 can be seen intuitively through the display screen 5.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] This utility model also provides an online alignment device, including the online alignment mechanism in Embodiment 1, and also includes a transmitter, which can be regarded as a laser transmitter. The transmitter can be connected to an external support frame, and the output end of the transmitter faces the detection end of the height detection component 4, so that the height detection component 4 can sense the laser emitted by the transmitter and perform height detection through the laser, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0035] In use, place the online alignment mechanism at the docking position of the two conveyor belts to be leveled, with the level detection component facing upwards. Then observe the display screen 5 and adjust the posture and position of the conveyor belts to be leveled according to the values ​​displayed on the display screen 5 by the first level detection component 2, the second level detection component 3, and the height detection component 4, so that the first level detection component 2 and the second level detection component 3 are both detected to be in a horizontal state, and the value detected by the height detection component 4 reaches the design target. At this time, the two conveyor belts are in a leveled state.

[0036] This utility model discloses an online alignment mechanism and device. By vertically setting the center lines of the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3, it can display the levelness of two conveyor belts to be leveled in different directions. By setting the height detection element 4, it can assist in judging whether the two conveyor belts are leveled based on the height value. When both the first horizontal detection element 2 and the second horizontal detection element 3 show that they are in a horizontal state, the two conveyor belts are in a fine-leveling state. In material flow testing, there is no need to adjust the conveyor belts multiple times, thereby improving the leveling efficiency of the conveyor belts.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
