Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, specifically a high-speed continuous rotating conveyor structure. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production lines across industries such as logistics, food, and electronics, there is a widespread and frequent demand for operations such as flipping and reversing goods. In the past, traditional methods of flipping goods relied heavily on manual labor. For example, in the logistics industry, manually flipping packages not only consumed significant labor costs but was also inefficient, failing to meet the demands of modern high-speed logistics.
[0003] With the development of automation technology, some flipping mechanisms have emerged. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221164766U discloses a block conveying and flipping device, which drives the rotation of materials through its own rotation, thus replacing manual labor to a certain extent and improving work efficiency. However, this flipping mechanism still has obvious drawbacks. During the material receiving and unloading stages, the rotation must be stopped to allow sufficient time for loading and unloading, which interrupts the entire flipping process and greatly affects production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a high-speed continuous rotating conveyor structure for conveyor lines. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-speed continuous flipping conveyor structure for conveyor lines, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-speed continuous rotating conveying structure for a conveyor line, comprising a support frame, on which a rotating cylinder is mounted, and side retaining rings are provided on both sides of the rotating cylinder. Connecting shafts are installed on both sides of the rotating cylinder, and both connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame. Several clamping plates are hinged to both sides of the rotating cylinder, and each clamping plate has a hook at its end away from the rotating cylinder. Each side retaining ring comprises a first semi-ring plate, a second semi-ring plate, and two inclined guide plates. The first semi-ring plate and the second semi-ring plate are connected by the two inclined guide plates. The clamping plates are slidably connected to one side corresponding to the first semi-ring plate, the second semi-ring plate, and the inclined guide plates. Several side grooves are provided on both sides of the rotating cylinder, and elastic telescopic rods for pushing the clamping plates outward are installed in each of the side grooves.
[0007] Preferably, a T-shaped receiving frame is installed at the bottom of the support frame, there is a gap between the clamping plate and the T-shaped receiving frame, and the clamping plate is flush with the conveyor belt below.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of both the first semi-ring plate and the second semi-ring plate, and a connecting ring is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates. The connecting ring is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft. Four side plates are installed on the side wall of the support frame, and a support rod is installed between each of the four side plates and the corresponding connecting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the elastic telescopic rod includes a main tube and a movable rod, the movable rod being slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding main tube, and a return spring for pushing the movable rod outward is installed inside the main tube.
[0010] Preferably, one end of each of the movable rods is equipped with a ball bearing, which is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding clamping plate.
[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the rotating cylinder has several flat pin surfaces, which are located between two corresponding clamping plates. Beneficial effects
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0013] This invention uses a rotating cylinder to drive the clamping plates to rotate. The clamping plates contact the first semi-ring plate, the second semi-ring plate, and the inclined guide plate respectively, enabling the two clamping plates to automatically complete the clamping, fixing, transfer, and flipping of the items. During this process, the rotating cylinder does not need to stop rotating and automatically completes the flipping and transfer of the items, thus improving work efficiency. This solves the problem that in traditional flipping conveyor mechanisms, the rotation must be stopped during the receiving and unloading stages to allow sufficient time for loading and unloading, which interrupts the entire flipping process and greatly affects production efficiency.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 The high-speed continuous rotating conveying structure of the conveyor line includes a support frame 1, a rotating cylinder 2 is installed on the support frame 1, and side retaining rings 3 are installed on both sides of the rotating cylinder 2.
[0021] The rotating cylinder 2 has connecting shafts 21 installed on both sides, and the two connecting shafts 21 are rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 1. Several clamping plates 22 are hinged on both sides of the rotating cylinder 2, and hook feet 221 are provided on the ends of the clamping plates 22 away from the rotating cylinder 2.
[0022] The side retaining ring 3 includes a first semi-ring plate 31, a second semi-ring plate 32 and two inclined guide plates 33. The first semi-ring plate 31 and the second semi-ring plate 32 are connected by the two inclined guide plates 33. The clamping plate 22 is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding first semi-ring plate 31, second semi-ring plate 32 and inclined guide plate 33.
[0023] It should be noted that the first semi-ring plate 31 described in this embodiment is closer to the rotating cylinder 2 than the second semi-ring plate 32.
[0024] Several side grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the rotating cylinder 2, and elastic telescopic rods 4 for pushing the clamping plate 22 outward are installed in each of the several side grooves 23.
[0025] It should be noted that the side groove 23 described in this embodiment accommodates the elastic telescopic rod 4.
[0026] Specifically, to address the issue of low flipping efficiency during item transport, this flipping conveyor mechanism supports the rotating cylinder 2 via a support frame 1. The rotating cylinder 2 rotates inside the support frame 1 via two connecting shafts 21. Several clamping plates 22 on the rotating cylinder 2 tilt away from the rotating cylinder 2 under the push of their respective elastic telescopic rods 4. Two side retaining rings 3 compress the clamping plates 22 to varying degrees via a first semi-ring plate 31 and a second semi-ring plate 32. An inclined guide plate 33 connects the first semi-ring plate 31 and the second semi-ring plate 32, facilitating the transition of the clamping plates 22 between the first and second semi-ring plates 31 and 32. Two conveyor belts are located on the same side of the device, with the lower conveyor belt transporting items to the lower position of the rotating cylinder 2. The clamping plates 22... The semi-circular plate 31 presses against the rotating cylinder 2, allowing the clamping plate 22 to hold the item. The hook foot 221 intercepts the bottom of the item. When the rotating cylinder 2 rotates, it drives the clamping plate 22 to rotate synchronously. The clamping plate 22 drives the item to rotate. When the clamping plate 22 disengages, it releases the limiting pressure on the item. At this time, the item reaches the position of the upper conveyor belt and slides down onto the upper conveyor belt for transfer. During this process, the rotating cylinder 2 does not need to stop rotating and automatically completes the flipping and transfer of the item, improving work efficiency. This solves the problem that in the traditional flipping conveyor mechanism, the rotation must be stopped during the receiving and unloading stages to allow enough time for loading and unloading, which interrupts the entire flipping process and greatly affects production efficiency.
[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a T-shaped receiving frame 11 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, and there is a gap between the clamping plate 22 and the T-shaped receiving frame 11. The clamping plate 22 is flush with the conveyor belt below.
[0028] Specifically, the T-shaped receiving rack 11 carries the items on the conveyor belt below, which facilitates the subsequent clamping work of the clamping plate 22 on the items, and the clamping plate 22, the T-shaped receiving rack 11 and the conveyor belt do not interfere with each other's work.
[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, connecting plates 34 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the first semi-ring plate 31 and the second semi-ring plate 32. A connecting ring 35 is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 34. The connecting ring 35 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft rod 21. Four side plates 12 are installed on the side wall of the support frame 1. Support rods 13 are installed between the four side plates 12 and the corresponding connecting plates 34.
[0030] It should be noted that the two corresponding connecting plates 34 described in this embodiment are parallel and misaligned, and the connecting plates 34 are sleeved on the connecting shaft 21 through connecting rings 35.
[0031] Specifically, the connecting shaft 21 supports the connecting ring 35, and the connecting ring 35 supports the first half-ring plate 31 and the second half-ring plate 32 through two connecting plates 34, so that the side retaining ring 3 can maintain a unified axis with the rotating cylinder 2 and work stably. The support frame 1 supports the support rod 13 through the side plate 12, and the support rod 13 connects and limits the connecting plate 34 to prevent the connecting plate 34 from rotating, thereby ensuring the stability of the side retaining ring 3 in use.
[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the elastic telescopic rod 4 includes a main tube 41 and a movable rod 42. The movable rod 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding main tube 41. A return spring 43 for pushing the movable rod 42 outward is installed inside the main tube 41.
[0033] It should be noted that the main tube 41 and the movable rod 42 described in this embodiment can be fully retracted into the side groove 23, so that the clamping plate 22 can be pressed against one side of the rotating cylinder 2 to clamp the item.
[0034] Specifically, when the clamping plate 22 rotates to the position of the inclined guide plate 33 and the second semi-ring plate 32, the clamping plate 22 is no longer restricted by the first semi-ring plate 31. Under the action of the return spring 43, the main pipe 41 and the movable rod 42 enable the movable rod 42 to push the clamping plate 22 outward, the clamping plate 22 opens, and the item is unlocked and automatically released.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, each of the several movable rods 42 has a ball bearing 421 installed at one end, and the ball bearing 421 is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding clamping plate 22.
[0036] It should be noted that the ball bearing 421 described in this embodiment is embedded in the end of the movable rod 42.
[0037] Specifically, the movable rod 42 contacts the clamping plate 22 through the ball bearing 421, so that when the clamping plate 22 is flipped, the sliding resistance can be reduced by the ball bearing 421 when the movable rod 42 contacts different areas of the clamping plate 22, making it convenient to use.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, several flat pin surfaces 24 are provided on the outer side of the rotating cylinder 2, and the flat pin surfaces 24 are located between two corresponding clamping plates 22.
[0039] It should be noted that the flat pin surface 24 described in this embodiment is parallel to the corresponding two hook feet 221.
[0040] Specifically, when the clamping plate 22 clamps the item, the item comes into contact with the rotating cylinder 2. The rotating cylinder 2 makes planar contact with the item through the flat pin surface 24, which improves the stability of the rotating cylinder 2 and the clamping plate 22 when they drive the item to rotate.
[0041] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0042] Working principle: During use, the lower conveyor belt transports the items to the position below the rotating drum 2. At this time, the T-shaped receiving frame 11 supports the items on the lower conveyor belt, facilitating subsequent operations. The clamping plates 22 hinged on both sides of the rotating drum 2 tilt away from the rotating drum 2 under the push of their respective elastic telescopic rods 4, and the two clamping plates 22 are in an open state. After the clamping plates 22 reach the bottom, they are aligned with the items. Under the pressure of the first semi-circular plate 31, the clamping plates 22 are pressed against the rotating drum 2, and the hook feet 221 intercept the bottom of the items, thereby clamping the items. At this time, the clamping plates 22 are flush with the lower conveyor belt, which facilitates the smooth transfer of items onto the clamping plates 22. The rotating drum 2 is connected to the motor via two connecting shafts 21. Under the influence of the rotating cylinder 2, the cylinder rotates inside the support frame 1, causing the clamping plate 22 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the item to rotate. When the clamping plate 22 rotates to the position of the upper inclined guide plate 33, the clamping plate 22 is no longer restricted by the first half-ring plate 31. Under the action of the return spring 43, the main pipe 41 and the movable rod 42 push the clamping plate 22 outward, the clamping plate 22 opens, and the item is unlocked. At this time, the item reaches the position of the upper conveyor belt and slides down onto the upper conveyor belt for transfer. Throughout the process, the rotating cylinder 2 does not need to stop rotating and automatically completes the flipping and transfer of the item, which effectively improves the work efficiency and avoids the problem of low production efficiency caused by the stopping of rotation during the receiving and unloading stages of the traditional flipping conveyor mechanism.
