Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flow meter processing and conveying technology, specifically a flow meter conveying line. Background Technology
[0002] A flow meter is a precision instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluids (including liquids, gases, and steam). It plays an important role in industrial production, environmental protection, and scientific research. In the current technology, the processing of flow meters requires multiple steps such as surface treatment, so it needs to be transported. The current technology generally uses a conveyor belt for transport. However, since flow meters are generally cylindrical, a placement fixture is often used on the conveyor belt to prevent the flow meter from rolling during the transport process. However, the placement fixture needs to be stored by personnel before it can be used.
[0003] Therefore, a flow meter delivery line was designed based on the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a flow meter conveying line.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a flow meter conveyor line, including a frame and a conveyor plate. The frame includes two symmetrically arranged mounting plates, each of which is provided with a chain. The chain is arranged in a ring along the left and right extension direction of the mounting plate. The conveyor plate is connected to the chain. Each end of the chain on the two mounting plates is provided with a chain disc. A drive shaft assembly is connected between the corresponding chain discs. The drive shaft assembly is connected to a drive motor. A dial assembly is provided on the drive shaft assembly. The dial assembly is used to flip the conveyor plate.
[0006] Preferably, the two mounting plates are rectangular, and multiple mounting beams are connected between the two mounting plates. Each mounting beam is equipped with a sensing sensor and a limiting component. The sensing sensor is electrically connected to the limiting component. The limiting component includes multiple limiting cylinders, each facing upwards or downwards. The positions of the upward- or downward-facing limiting cylinders are correspondingly set on the mounting beams. When it is necessary to place or remove a flow meter on the conveyor plate, the conveyor plate needs to be stopped. However, if the subsequent conveyor plates continue to run, a collision may occur. Therefore, the limiting component, i.e., the limiting cylinders, extend outwards to block the conveyor plate, thereby achieving the limiting function.
[0007] Working principle: During the conveying process, the conveyor plate is connected to the chain to enable transmission. The conveyor bar is designed with a ring structure, and there is a derailleur assembly at the end of the chain. Therefore, the conveyor plate can run continuously from top to bottom with the chain, thus achieving a rotation and avoiding the problem of workers retrieving the conveyor plate. At the same time, in order to prevent collisions between conveyor plates due to the conveying speed, there is a mounting beam. The mounting beam is equipped with limit cylinders, which are installed at both the top and bottom. That is, the position can be adjusted when the conveyor plate reaches the bottom for rotational transmission. At the same time, there is a sensing sensor. When the sensing sensor detects that the conveyor plate is close, the electrically controlled cylinder extends to limit it. Then the limit cylinder retracts and the conveyor plate continues to run.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a track groove and a chain support plate assembly. The track groove is located on the outside of the chain. The chain support plate assembly includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the chain. Since the length of the mounting plate may be relatively long, the chain may become uneven due to gravity. Therefore, the design of the upper and lower support plates is adopted to provide auxiliary support for the chain. The design of the track groove enables the conveyor plate to be transported more stably on the chain.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate has a groove at its tail end. The drive shaft assembly includes a bearing mounting plate and a drive shaft. The drive shaft and the bearing mounting plate are connected by a bearing. The bearing mounting plate is engaged in the groove and can move back and forth within the groove. The groove design of this application allows the drive shaft assembly to move, thereby enabling the adjustment of the chain tension.
[0010] Preferably, the dial assembly includes a dial wheel disposed on the drive shaft, and the dial wheel is provided with a plurality of protrusions evenly distributed thereon, which further ensures the flipping of the conveyor plate.
[0011] Preferably, both ends of the two mounting plates are provided with protective covers. The protective covers are of a [structure], and both ends of the protective covers are connected to the two mounting plates respectively. The upper and lower surfaces of the protective covers are hollow structures, which can effectively prevent personnel from approaching the transmission bearing position and avoid injury to personnel.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a support foot at the bottom, and the support foot is height adjustable to facilitate adjustment for the production line.
[0013] Preferably, a mounting beam is provided near the drive shaft assembly, and a protective hook assembly is provided between the mounting beam and the drive shaft assembly. The protective hook assembly includes a mounting rod, and the mounting beam has a mounting surface on the side near the drive shaft assembly. The mounting surface includes two symmetrically arranged mounting blocks, and the mounting rod is located between the two mounting blocks. The mounting rod is connected to the mounting blocks by a tension spring, and a protective stop hook is provided in the middle of the mounting rod. When it is necessary to flip the conveyor plate onto the drive shaft assembly, a protective hook assembly is provided to make it more stable due to the falling process.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention enables the conveyor plate to circulate around the mounting plate by using a chain and a pulley assembly, thus avoiding the problem of manually retrieving the conveyor plate and eliminating the need to install a circular conveyor belt for retrieving the conveyor plate. This saves space and reduces equipment costs.
[0016] 2. The mounting plate of this utility model is provided with a track groove and a chain support plate assembly. The track groove is located on the outside of the chain. The chain support plate assembly includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the chain. Since the length of the mounting plate may be relatively long, the chain may become uneven due to gravity. Therefore, the design of the upper and lower support plates is adopted to form an auxiliary support for the chain. The design of the track groove enables the conveyor plate to be transported more stably on the chain.
[0017] 3. The mounting plate of this utility model has a groove at its tail end. The transmission shaft assembly includes a bearing mounting plate and a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft and the bearing mounting plate are connected by a bearing. The bearing mounting plate is engaged in the groove and can move back and forth in the groove. The groove design of this application allows the transmission shaft assembly to move, thereby allowing the tension of the chain to be adjusted. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a flow meter conveyor line includes a frame and a conveyor plate. The frame includes two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 1, each with a chain 2. The chain 2 is arranged in a ring along the left and right extension direction of the mounting plate 1. The conveyor plate is connected to the chain 2. Each end of the chain 2 on the two mounting plates 1 is provided with a chain disc 3. A drive shaft assembly 4 is connected between the chain discs 3. The drive shaft assembly 4 is connected to a drive motor. The drive shaft assembly 4 is provided with a dial wheel assembly 5, which is used to flip the conveyor plate.
[0027] Preferably, the two mounting plates 1 are rectangular, and four mounting beams 6 are connected between the two mounting plates 1. Each mounting beam 6 is equipped with a sensing sensor, which is an inductive sensor. The inductive sensor is electrically connected to a limiting component 601 on its own mounting beam 6. Each mounting beam 6 has a corresponding set of limiting components 601. Each limiting component 601 includes two limiting cylinders. Since the cylinders will flip downwards, in this embodiment, the limiting cylinders on two mounting beams 6 face upwards, and the limiting cylinders on two mounting beams 6 face downwards. The positions of the limiting cylinders, whether upwards or downwards, on the mounting beams 6 are correspondingly set to ensure consistent operation if a limiting slot is provided below the conveyor plate.
[0028] Working principle: During the conveying process, the conveyor plate is connected to the chain 2 to enable conveying. The conveyor is designed with a ring structure, and a derailleur assembly 5 is provided at the end of the chain 2. Therefore, the conveyor plate can run continuously from top to bottom with the chain 2, thereby achieving a rotation and avoiding the problem of workers retrieving the conveyor plate. At the same time, in order to avoid collisions between conveyor plates due to conveying speed issues, a mounting beam 6 is provided. The mounting beam 6 is equipped with limit cylinders, which are provided at both the top and bottom. That is, the position can be adjusted when the conveyor plate reaches the bottom for rotational conveying. At the same time, a sensing sensor is provided. When the sensing sensor detects that the conveyor plate is close, the electrically controlled cylinder extends to limit it. Then the limit cylinder retracts and the conveyor plate continues to run.
[0029] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a track groove 101 and a chain support plate assembly 102. The track groove 101 is located on the outside of the chain 2. The chain support plate assembly 102 includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the chain 2. Since the length of the mounting plate 1 may be relatively long, the chain 2 may be uneven due to gravity. Therefore, the design of the upper and lower support plates is adopted to form an auxiliary support for the chain 2. The design of the track groove 101 enables the conveyor plate to be transported more stably on the chain 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 has a groove at its tail end. The groove is an open groove and is oriented horizontally. The drive shaft assembly 4 includes a bearing mounting plate 401 and a drive shaft 402. The drive shaft 402 and the bearing mounting plate 401 are connected by a bearing. The bearing mounting plate 401 is engaged in the groove and can move back and forth within the groove. The groove facilitates the placement of the drive shaft assembly 4. At the same time, the design of the groove in this application allows the drive shaft assembly 4 to move, thereby enabling the adjustment of the tension of the chain 2.
[0031] Furthermore, each end of the two mounting plates 1 is provided with a protective cover 7. The protective cover 7 is a [structure]. The two ends of the protective cover 7 are respectively connected to the two mounting plates 1. The upper and lower surfaces of the protective cover 7 are hollow structures, which can effectively prevent personnel from approaching the bearing position of the drive shaft 402 and avoid injury to personnel. At the same time, the protective cover 7 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 1, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0032] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a support leg 8 at the bottom, and the support leg 8 is height adjustable to facilitate adjustment for the production line.
[0033] Furthermore, a mounting beam 6 is provided near the drive shaft assembly 4. A protective hook assembly 9 is provided between the mounting beam 6 and the drive shaft assembly 4. The protective hook assembly 9 includes a mounting rod 901. The mounting beam 6 has a mounting surface 902 on the side near the drive shaft assembly 4. The mounting surface 902 includes two symmetrically arranged mounting blocks. The mounting rod 901 is located between the two mounting blocks and is connected to the mounting blocks by a tension spring. A protective stop hook 903 is provided in the middle of the mounting rod 901. When it needs to be flipped, the conveyor plate will go to the drive shaft assembly 4. Since there is a falling process, it will first fall onto the protective stop hook 903. Since it is connected by a tension spring, it will fall a certain height due to gravity. Then, after it successfully goes to the drive shaft assembly 4, it will return to its original height for the next protection.
