Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying devices, and in particular to a continuous elevator. Background Technology
[0002] Continuous elevators are widely used in industries such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and papermaking. Due to their high conveying efficiency and speed, they are particularly suitable for applications requiring the transport of large quantities of materials over long distances; they can be used to lift and convey materials.
[0003] When the chain plate is in a horizontal position, the connecting conveyor line feeds material onto the chain plate at the same speed, allowing the material units to enter the elevator for conveying. In this way, the continuous elevator can continuously convey material units (≤50kg) between different heights, making it suitable for applications with large conveying capacities, long conveying distances, and continuous production requirements.
[0004] When the speed of the chain plate is not synchronized with the speed of the connected conveyor line, it will cause the chain plate to shift position during conveying, resulting in conveying jams and damage to the chain plate. The material may also shift due to inertia, deviating from the center position of the chain plate and causing it to tip over. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model is a continuous elevator, comprising: a support frame 1; a conveying mechanism is provided on the support frame 1, and a driving mechanism is provided below the conveying mechanism. When material moves onto the conveying mechanism, the driving mechanism drives the conveying mechanism to rotate, conveying the material and lifting it vertically to the top of the support frame 1, thus delivering the material out.
[0030] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 is vertically arranged and equipped with a conveying mechanism for lifting and conveying materials. By setting a rotating shaft on the conveying mechanism for conveying, the first conveying line 2 or the second conveying line 3 can be adjusted so that the chain plate 4 can maintain a stable and uniform speed during lifting, reducing the wear of the chain plate 4, improving the lifting and conveying stability, and realizing uninterrupted conveying of materials from low to high. The support frame 1 is made of steel structure welded or bolted, and the vertical height is adjusted according to the floor height.
[0031] The conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor line 2 and a second conveyor line 3. Several chain plates 4 are arranged between the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3, and the chain plates 4 are bent or moved in parallel by the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connected chain plate 4 is conveyed by the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3. During conveying, the chain plate 4 rotates and is conveyed from below, contacting the bottom of the material to assist in the movement and conveying of the material. After the chain plate 4 has rotated out completely and formed a plane, the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 keep the chain plate 4 in a horizontal state and move upward synchronously to lift and convey the material. After reaching the top, the chain plate 4 moves towards the output side to convey the material. Through the coordinated drive of the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3, the chain plate 4 can achieve 90° bending or parallel straight line movement.
[0033] The side of the chain plate 4 closest to the conveying direction is located at the first conveyor line 2, and the side opposite to the conveying direction is located at the second conveyor line 3. The first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 rotate synchronously.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 are synchronously driven by the same motor 5 to ensure that the linear speeds on both sides of the chain plate 4 are consistent, thus avoiding chain plate twisting or material deviation caused by speed difference between the two sides. The two sides of the chain plate 4 are respectively engaged with the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3, and the driving force is transmitted synchronously from both sides.
[0035] The chain plate 4 includes several parallel unit plates 41 with gaps between them, and a buffer pad 42 is provided on one side of each unit plate 41.
[0036] In this embodiment, the chain plate 4 is formed by splicing together several unit plates 41. There are gaps between the unit plates 41. The gaps allow the chain plate 4 to deform slightly when bent, reducing the stress concentration of the chain. The buffer pad 42 is installed on the conveying side of the unit plate 41. When the material hits the chain plate 4, it absorbs the impact energy through elastic deformation, reducing the material breakage rate.
[0037] Several unit plates 41 are hinged on both sides by drag chains 43. Connecting plates 44 are provided on both sides of the drag chains 43, and the two connecting plates 44 extend to the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 respectively.
[0038] In this embodiment, the unit plates 41 are hinged sequentially by drag chains 43 to form a bendable chain structure. The connecting plates 44 on both sides of the drag chains 43 extend to the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 for connection, achieving synchronous drive.
[0039] The drive mechanism includes a motor 5, the output end of which is connected to a first sprocket 51. A chain 52 is sleeved on the outside of the first sprocket 51. The chain 52 is connected to a second sprocket 61 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 6, and performs chain drive with the second sprocket 61.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the motor 5 rotates, it drives the first sprocket 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain 52 to rotate. One side of the chain 52 is fitted onto the first sprocket 51, and the other side is fitted onto the second sprocket 61 on the first rotating shaft 6. The chain drive drives the first rotating shaft 6 to rotate, ensuring that the conveying line speed is constant.
[0041] The support frame 1 is provided with several second rotating shafts 7 parallel to the first rotating shaft 6. The first rotating shaft 6 is connected to any of the second rotating shafts 7 by chain drive. Each second rotating shaft 7 is provided with a third sprocket 71. Several second rotating shafts 7 are connected to the first conveyor line 2 or the second conveyor line 3 through the third sprocket 71, driving the first conveyor line 2 or the second conveyor line 3 to rotate.
[0042] In this embodiment, several second rotating shafts 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom and top of the support frame 1. During conveying, the first rotating shaft 6 drives the third sprocket 71 on any of the second rotating shafts 7 to rotate through chain drive. The third sprockets 71 on the remaining second rotating shafts 7 mesh with the first conveyor line 2 or the second conveyor line 3. The first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 are guided by several second rotating shafts 7. All the second rotating shafts 7 are driven by the same first rotating shaft 6, which reduces the linear speed error between the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3.
[0043] The first conveyor line 2 is located at the bottom and output side of the support frame 1, and the second conveyor line 3 is located at the input side, output side, top and bottom of the support frame 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 2 is arranged in an "L" shape at the support frame 1, and the second conveyor line 3 is arranged in an "U" shape at the support frame 1. After the chain plate 4 bends and moves on the lower input side until it is in a horizontal state, it is lifted synchronously by the first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3. After reaching the top, one side of the chain plate 4 moves and bends towards the output side.
[0045] Several protective plates 8 are provided on the outside of the support frame 1 to protect the material conveying process.
[0046] In this embodiment, the protective plate 8 protects the conveying mechanism and the driving mechanism, and limits the material being lifted and conveyed around its perimeter to prevent the material from tipping over and falling. The protective plate 8 is made of stainless steel or transparent acrylic.
[0047] 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.
