[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic turning device for a conveyor, comprising a support frame 1. Multiple support blocks 2 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame 1. These support blocks 2 are evenly installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1, serving to assist in fixing and distributing loads, ensuring that all components maintain the correct position when the hydraulic cylinder 10 starts and pushes the connecting block 11. An mounting plate 3 is installed on the top of two support blocks 2, fixed to the top of the support blocks 2, serving to transmit power and stabilize the components, providing a reliable connection for the subsequent motor 4 to drive the bearing plate 5 to rotate. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 3, firmly installed on the bottom of the mounting plate 3. After starting, the motor 4 can drive the bearing plate 5 to rotate, thereby causing the top components to adjust their angle and achieve precise docking with other conveyors.
[0033] The drive end of motor 4 is bolted to a bearing plate 5. This bolted connection ensures stable power transmission during motor 4 startup and allows for more precise adjustment of the item's position during rotation. Two fixing blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the bearing plate 5, providing reliable support for the conveyor roller 7 and ensuring the correct positioning of the conveying components during rotation. The conveyor roller 7 is rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two fixing blocks 6. Next, when the motor 4 drives the bearing plate 5 to rotate, it can automatically adjust the angle to effectively prevent the items from shifting during the conveying process. Hydraulic cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing plate 5. The hydraulic cylinders 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bearing plate 5. When the equipment needs to be started, it achieves precise power output through hydraulic drive, thereby driving the movement of the connecting block 11. The driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 11. The connecting block 11 is attached to the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 10. When the hydraulic cylinder 10 is started, the connecting block 11 can move, thereby pushing the subsequent limiting roller 9 to adjust the angle.
[0034] A limiting roller 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block 11. The limiting roller 9, through its rotatable connection with the connecting block 11, can adjust its angle under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder 10, ensuring that the items conveyed on the conveying roller 7 are always kept in the appropriate position. Fixed blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the bearing plate 5. The fixed blocks 8 are firmly installed on both sides of the top of the bearing plate 5, providing reliable support for the limiting roller 9, so that it can stably change its angle during rotation, thereby preventing the items from deviating. One side of the limiting roller 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed block 8. This rotatable connection method ensures that the limiting roller 9 can accurately adjust its angle under the support of the fixed block 8, which meets the effective control of the item conveying position when the equipment starts.
[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4A positioning component is installed on the top of the support block 2. The positioning component is used to correct the position of each component during equipment operation to ensure the accuracy and stability of the overall operation. The positioning component includes two extension blocks 12. As an important part of the positioning component, the extension blocks 12 cooperate with other components to achieve auxiliary positioning and ensure that the equipment achieves precise control when starting. Multiple mounting plates 3 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the support frame 1. The even distribution of the mounting plates 3 makes the entire equipment bear force evenly and provides a good installation foundation for the stable connection between the motor 4 and the bearing plate 5. One side of the extension block 12 is in contact with one side of the mounting plate 3. This contact method makes the extension block 12 and the mounting plate 3 fit tightly, thereby ensuring the precise positioning of the transmission components after the hydraulic cylinder 10 and the motor 4 are started. The bottom of the extension block 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 2. The extension block 12 is firmly fixed in its original position through the fixed connection between the bottom and the support block 2, ensuring that the positioning component can continuously play a correction effect when the equipment is running.
[0036] A positioning block 13 is rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two extension blocks 12. The positioning block 13 can be finely adjusted during startup by rotating with the extension blocks 12 to ensure that the position of the item is effectively controlled during the overall rotation. The positioning block 13 is L-shaped. The L-shaped design of the positioning block 13 gives it greater adjustment flexibility when releasing the fixation and can accurately limit the position between the extension blocks 12, thus facilitating subsequent maintenance. A screw 15 is rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two extension blocks 12. The screw 15 is rotatably connected to the extension blocks 12 and the positioning block 13. By adjusting its position, the constraint on the positioning block 13 can be quickly released during equipment maintenance. A hexagonal nut 16 is connected to the external thread of the screw 15. The hexagonal nut 16 ensures that the fixed state of the positioning block 13 can be quickly adjusted when the equipment is started or during maintenance by fastening with the external thread of the screw 15.
[0037] The positioning block 13 has a groove 14 on its exterior. The groove 14 provides space for the screw 15 to adjust, ensuring that the component position can be flexibly adjusted when the hydraulic cylinder 10 and motor 4 drive the entire system to rotate. The bottom of the hexagonal nut 16 contacts the top of the positioning block 13. This contact ensures that the rotation of the hexagonal nut 16 directly affects the state of the positioning block 13, facilitating quick release of restrictions during equipment maintenance. The bottom of the positioning block 13 contacts the top of the mounting plate 3. The tight contact between the positioning block 13 and the mounting plate 3 ensures that when the bearing plate 5 rotates, driving the top component to move, all components can work together to ensure the smooth transport of items. For precision, the screw 15 penetrates the inside of the groove 14, ensuring flexible movement during adjustment and allowing the mounting plate 3 to be quickly disassembled for maintenance. Pads 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the mounting plate 3, providing cushioning and support during equipment operation and helping the bearing plate 5 rotate smoothly. The bottom of the pad 17 contacts the bottom of the bearing plate 5, further enhancing the stability of the overall structure and ensuring coordinated operation of all components when the motor 4 starts and drives the bearing plate 5 to rotate.
[0038] Working principle: When the equipment is needed, the hydraulic cylinder 10 is started, which drives the connecting block 11 to move. The movement of the connecting block 11 pushes the limiting roller 9, thereby changing the angle of the limiting roller 9. This change in the limiting roller 9 can prevent the items being transported on the conveying roller 7 from deviating, keeping the items on the conveying roller 7. The motor 4 is started, which drives the bearing plate 5 to rotate. The rotation of the bearing plate 5 drives the top part of it to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle. This allows for easy docking with other conveyors and flexible adjustment of the position of the items.
[0039] Finally, when maintenance is required, the hexagonal nut 16 is rotated to remove the restriction on the positioning block 13. At this time, the positioning block 13 can be rotated between the extension blocks 12, and the screw 15 can move in the inner wall of the groove 14, so that the mounting plate 3 can be disassembled. The components can be disassembled separately, which facilitates maintenance and reduces costs.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
