Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a double-sided guide structure for metal belt transportation, including an outer guide and transfer device 2 and an inner auxiliary device 6. The outer guide and transfer device 2 and the inner auxiliary device 6 are both installed inside the conveyor. The conveyor includes a transport structure outer shell 1, a transport structure inner shell 5 and the conveyor belt 7.

[0024] The conveyor belt 7 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 5 of the transport structure. The outer guide device 2 is slidably connected inside the outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 has an opening on one side facing the inner shell 5 of the transport structure. The outer guide device 2 is slidably disposed in the opening of the outer shell 1. The inner auxiliary device 6 is provided on one side facing the outer shell 1 of the transport structure.

[0025] Because the conveyor belt 7 at the bend is driven by a tapered roller, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7 is inclined. Therefore, the inner auxiliary device 6 provides support for the metal profile and reduces friction.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer guide and transfer device 2 includes an integrated block 21, a slider 22, a first rotating structure 23, and a second rotating structure 24.

[0027] The integrated block 21 is provided with a first movable cavity 211 and a second movable cavity 212. One end of the first rotating structure 23 is slidably connected to the first movable cavity 211, and one end of the second rotating structure 24 is slidably connected to the second movable cavity 212. The other ends of the first rotating structure 23 and the second rotating structure 24 both extend out of the outside of the integrated block 21. The integrated block 21 is disposed on the top surface of the slider 22, and the slider 22 is slidably connected to the outer shell 1 of the transport structure.

[0028] The first rotating structure 23 and the second rotating structure 24 have the same overall structure, both consisting of a rotating wheel and a connecting rod. The rotating wheel is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to either the first movable cavity 211 or the second movable cavity 212 via a spring.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the first rotating structure 23 is connected to the first movable cavity 211 by a spring, and one end of the second rotating structure 24 is connected to the second movable cavity 212 by a spring.

[0030] Furthermore, the length of the first rotating structure 23 is less than the length of the second rotating structure 24. The overall structures of the first rotating structure 23 and the second rotating structure 24 are similar, except that their lengths are unequal. This design is intended to facilitate the quick detachment of the metal profile from the outer guide and guide device 2 after it has turned a corner.

[0031] When the metal profile first enters the turning area of ​​the transport device, the right-angled end of one side of the metal profile abuts against the outer guide and transfer device 2, and the other pair of sides of the metal profile abut against the inner auxiliary device 6. When the metal profile tilts during the turn, the first rotating structure 23 locks the right-angled end of the metal profile and pushes the outer guide and transfer device 2 to slide by the power of the conveyor belt 7. As the turning action proceeds, the metal profile gradually returns to its original position (that is, moves horizontally along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 7). At this time, the right-angled end of the metal profile disengages from the first rotating structure 23, thus completing the turning stage and entering the horizontal running stage. The outer guide and transfer device 2 is pulled back to its initial state by the return device 4.

[0032] It should be noted that the initial state of the outer guide device 2 is that it needs to be placed at the turning point, not completely parallel to the initial movement trajectory of the metal profile. This design prevents the right-angle end of the metal profile from getting stuck between the first rotating structure 23 and the second rotating structure 24.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer sidewall of the outer guide and transfer device 2 is connected to the inner sidewall of the transport structure shell 1 via the return device 4.

[0034] In this utility model, the positioning device 4 adopts a hook spring, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the transport structure housing 1, and the other end of which is connected to the slider 22.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner auxiliary device 6 includes a third roller 61 and a sliding shaft 62. The third roller 61 is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft 62, and both ends of the sliding shaft 62 are slidably connected to the interior of the inner shell 5 of the transport structure via springs. A spring is located near each end of the sidewall of the sliding shaft 62. The inner shell 5 of the transport structure has two sliding grooves, and each end of the sliding shaft 62 is slidably connected to one of these grooves. The other end of the spring connected to the sliding shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the sliding groove. Figure 1As shown, in the inner auxiliary device 6, the circumferential side of the third roller 61 cannot be flush with the outer side of the inner shell 5 of the transport structure, so as to avoid direct friction between the metal profile and the inner shell 5 of the transport structure caused by flushing.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the inner side of the outer shell 1 of the transport structure is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail 3, and the outer guide and transfer device 2 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide rail 3. Specifically, the slider 22 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide rail 3, and the bottom surface of the slider 22 is rotatably connected to two pulleys, which clamp and connect the arc-shaped guide rail 3.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When the metal profile just enters the turning area of ​​the transport device, the right-angled end of one side of the metal profile abuts against the outer guide and transfer device 2, and the other pair of sides of the metal profile abuts against the inner auxiliary device 6.

[0039] The third roller 61 on the inner auxiliary device 6 abuts against the side of the metal profile. When the metal profile turns and tilts, the first rotating structure 23 holds the right-angle end of the metal profile and pushes the outer guide and transfer device 2 to slide through the power of the conveyor belt 7. As the turning action proceeds, the metal profile gradually returns to the correct position. At this time, the right-angle end of the metal profile disengages from the first rotating structure 23, thus completing the turning stage and entering the horizontal running stage. The outer guide and transfer device 2 is pulled back to the initial state by the return device 4.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
