Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveyor line positioning technology, and specifically relates to a conveyor line positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Conveyor lines are automated equipment used to transport materials, products, or parts, and are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, food processing, and other fields. When transporting materials, positioning devices are typically needed to assist in accurately positioning and stably moving the materials on the conveyor belt. This is crucial for improving production efficiency, reducing errors, ensuring safety, and optimizing production processes.

[0003] Existing positioning devices typically involve complex hardware and software, which increases the complexity and cost of the conveyor line. In particular, when multiple sensors, control units, and feedback mechanisms are integrated, the complexity of the system leads to increased difficulty in debugging, maintenance, and operation, especially when operated by non-professionals. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveyor line positioning device that can achieve positioning operation through the cooperation of simple mechanical parts, which is easy to maintain and can significantly reduce costs.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A conveyor line positioning device includes a conveyor line body, a support frame mounted on the top of the conveyor line body, and a positioning auxiliary mechanism mounted on the inner side of the support frame. The positioning auxiliary mechanism includes: a shaft connected to the top of the inner side of the support frame via bearings; a gear sleeved on the surface of the shaft; two racks meshing with the front and rear sides of the gear; two connecting plates fixedly connected to the ends of the two racks; positioning posts fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two connecting plates; a sliding groove formed on the top of the support frame; protrusions fixedly connected to the tops of the two racks and slidably connected inside the sliding groove; and an electric telescopic rod fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, with the output end of the electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the front protrusion.

[0007] Preferably, an infrared sensor is installed on the top of the inner side of the support frame, and a switch controller is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame. The switch controller is used in conjunction with the infrared sensor, the conveyor body and the electric telescopic rod.

[0008] Preferably, sliders are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two toothed rods, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the support frame, with the sliders slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting ring is fitted on the surface of the shaft, and the limiting ring is located at the top and bottom of the gear respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the positioning post is covered with a rubber sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, vertical grooves are provided on both sides of the support frame, and bolts are provided inside the vertical grooves. One end of the bolt is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body, and the other end of the bolt passes through the vertical groove and extends to the outside of the support frame. The surface of the bolt is threaded to a fastening nut, and the fastening nut is tightly fitted to the outside of the support frame.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, when the conveyor line is transporting products, the infrared sensor detects the product as it passes under the positioning auxiliary mechanism. The switch controller then stops the conveyor line, causing the product to stop below the positioning auxiliary mechanism. The switch controller then automatically operates the electric telescopic rod, which pushes the front protrusion and toothed rod to move. The movement of the front toothed rod causes the meshing gear to rotate on the surface of the shaft. Simultaneously, the rotating gear causes the meshing rear toothed rod to move relative to it. When both toothed rods move inwards simultaneously, they also cause the two connecting plates to move inwards. This inward movement of the connecting plates causes the bottom positioning post to move inwards, squeezing and centering the product above the conveyor line. This allows for rapid product positioning on the conveyor line using simple mechanical components, eliminating the need for complex control systems and avoiding the debugging and startup time required for complex hardware, thus reducing equipment investment costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a conveyor line positioning device includes a conveyor line body 1, a support frame 2 mounted on the top of the conveyor line body 1, and a positioning auxiliary mechanism mounted on the inner side of the support frame 2. The positioning auxiliary mechanism includes: a shaft 201 connected to the top of the inner side of the support frame 2 via bearings; a gear 202 sleeved on the surface of the shaft 201; two racks 203 meshing with the front and rear sides of the gear 202 respectively; two connecting plates 204 fixedly connected to the ends of the two racks 203 respectively; positioning posts 205 fixedly connected to the bottom of the two connecting plates 204 respectively; and a sliding groove 206 formed on the top of the support frame 2. The system includes: a protrusion 207, which is fixedly connected to the top of two toothed rods 203 and slidably connected to the inside of a sliding groove 206; and an electric telescopic rod 208, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2 and whose output end is fixedly connected to the front protrusion 207. Through the cooperation of the positioning auxiliary mechanism and simple mechanical components, accurate positioning of the product on the conveyor line can be ensured. Compared to multiple electronic control systems, the mechanical system has a lower failure rate, simpler mechanical component structure, and requires less equipment maintenance, thereby improving the continuous operation capability of the production line and reducing production stoppages caused by equipment failure.

[0021] like Figures 1-3As shown, an infrared sensor 301 is installed on the top of the inner side of the support frame 2, and a switch controller 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 2. The switch controller 302 is used in conjunction with the infrared sensor 301, the main body of the conveyor line 1, and the electric telescopic rod 208. The cooperation between the switch controller 302, the infrared sensor 301, and the electric telescopic rod 208 enables the system to automatically adjust and respond according to the actual situation. The cooperation of a single simple electronic hardware can improve the automation control and efficiency.

[0022] like Figures 2-3 As shown, sliders 401 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two gears 203 respectively, and a slide rod 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the support frame 2. The sliders 401 are slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 402 respectively. When the gears 203 move, the gears 203 will drive the sliders 401 to slide on the surface of the slide rod 402. Through the linkage between the gears 202 and the sliders 401, the movement can be made to proceed along the straight line of the slide rod 402, thereby achieving precise linear movement and thus enabling more stable and accurate positioning of the product.

[0023] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a limiting ring 5 is sleeved on the surface of the shaft 201. The limiting ring 5 is located at the top and bottom of the gear 202 respectively. The limiting ring 5 can effectively restrict the movement of the gear 202 on the shaft 201 and prevent the gear 202 from axial displacement or sliding during operation. The limiting ring 5 helps to maintain a precise meshing connection between the gear 202 and the rack 203, thereby ensuring normal meshing and transmission between the gear 202 and the rack 203.

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the surface of the positioning post 205 is covered with a rubber sleeve 6. The rubber sleeve 6 is made of rubber. When the positioning post 205 comes into contact with the positioning product, the rubber sleeve 6 can reduce friction and wear. It provides a soft isolation layer between the two and effectively prevents direct friction between the items.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, vertical slots 701 are provided on both sides of the support frame 2. Bolts 702 are installed inside the vertical slots 701. One end of the bolt 702 is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body 1, and the other end of the bolt 702 passes through the vertical slot 701 and extends to the outside of the support frame 2. The surface of the bolt 702 is threaded to the fastening nut 703. The fastening nut 703 fits tightly against the outside of the support frame 2. When the conveyed product is high, the operator can loosen the fastening nut 703 and then adjust the support frame 2 and the positioning auxiliary mechanism upward to avoid the support frame 2 and the positioning auxiliary mechanism blocking the normal transport of the product when transporting higher products. After adjusting to a suitable height, the fastening nut 703 is rotated to squeeze and limit the support frame 2, and then the support frame 2 can be stably installed on the conveyor body 1.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the conveyor body 1 is transporting products, when the product passes under the positioning auxiliary mechanism, the infrared sensor 301 can sense the product and then stop the conveyor body 1 through the switch controller 302. Then the product on the conveyor body 1 will stop under the positioning auxiliary mechanism. Subsequently, the switch controller 302 can automatically operate the electric telescopic rod 208. The electric telescopic rod 208 will push the front protrusion 207 and the gear 203 to move. When the front gear 203 moves, it can drive the meshing gear 202 to rotate on the surface of the shaft 201. 2. While rotating, it can drive the meshing rear rack 203 to move relative to each other. When the two racks 203 move inward at the same time, they can drive the two connecting plates 204 to move inward at the same time. After the connecting plates 204 move inward, they can drive the bottom positioning column 205 to move inward, and squeeze and center the product above the conveyor body 1. Thus, the product on the conveyor body 1 can be quickly positioned by the cooperation of simple mechanical parts. The product can be quickly positioned without the need for a complex control system, avoiding the debugging time and system startup time required by complex hardware, and reducing the cost of equipment investment.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
