Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a suspended conveyor with easy-to-change hooks, and belongs to the technical field of suspended conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead conveyors are widely used material handling equipment in industrial production, their technology stemming from the continuous optimization and development of traditional conveying methods. With the advancement of industrialization, the demand for efficient and automated material handling systems has increased, leading to the development of overhead conveyors. Their main characteristic is the use of suspended devices on tracks to transport materials to designated locations, enabling continuous, stable, and efficient material transport, making them particularly suitable for large-scale production lines and workshops. In traditional ground-based conveying systems, problems such as large space occupation and low efficiency exist. Overhead conveyors, through their overhead suspension design, effectively save ground space and reduce conflicts and interference during material handling, thereby improving production efficiency. The technology of overhead conveyors continues to evolve, including the application of automated control technology, intelligent scheduling systems, and energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, giving them a wider range of applications in modern industrial production.

[0003] Authorization announcement number (CN208585701U) discloses a suspended conveyor, including a conveying mechanism, a balancing transmission mechanism, and a braking mechanism. The conveying mechanism is installed on a track, and several braking mechanisms are installed on the track of the conveying mechanism. In this utility model, on one hand, through the shaft and auxiliary wheel, the stop device controls the travel state of the auxiliary wheel and thus controls the travel state of the main wheel, thereby lifting the movable rod. This causes the U-shaped plate to move downwards via a chain, disengaging the friction power assembly from the optical shaft power, thus braking the trolley. Simultaneously, it effectively avoids the problem of the second group being inconvenient to control while the first group is running. On the other hand, in this application, during operation, the friction power assembly, due to the addition of ball bearings to the guide sleeve, changes the contact between the guide shaft and the guide sleeve from surface contact to point contact, ensuring that the U-shaped plate experiences uniform and balanced transmission force during up-and-down movement, guaranteeing the normal operation of the trolley.

[0004] In summary, the aforementioned type of overhead conveyor suffers from the drawback of lacking an easy-to-replace hook mechanism. Since hooks are typically used to support materials and connect to the track in the conveying system, the absence of a quick-replacement design significantly increases repair and replacement time should a hook malfunction or wear out. This not only affects the normal operation of the production line, leading to prolonged downtime, but may also impact overall production efficiency. Furthermore, traditional hook replacement processes are usually cumbersome and time-consuming, requiring downtime for disassembly and readjustment, increasing maintenance costs and operational complexity. Therefore, the lack of a convenient hook replacement mechanism reduces the service life of the overhead conveyor and the system's flexibility, limiting its application in high-intensity production environments.

[0005] Therefore, a suspended conveyor with easily replaceable hooks is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a suspended conveyor with easy hook replacement to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A suspended conveyor with easy hook replacement includes a slide rail. Two movable wheels are movably connected to both the front and rear sides of the slide rail. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the movable wheels. An mounting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing plate. A replacement component is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate. The replacement component includes a box body. The box body is movably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate. Hard springs are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hard spring, and the fixing block is movably connected to the inner side of the box body.

[0008] More preferably, a plug rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing block, and slots are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the mounting plate, with the plug rod engaging the inner side of the slot.

[0009] More preferably, a box cover is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top of the box body, and a groove is opened on the surface of the box cover. A pull rod is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block, and the pull rod is movably connected to the inside of the groove.

[0010] More preferably, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the box body, and a limiting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing block, and the limiting block is movably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove.

[0011] More preferably, a clamping assembly is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. The clamping assembly includes a clamping box, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. A tension spring is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the clamping box, and a mounting block is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the clamping box at the bottom of the tension spring.

[0012] More preferably, the left and right sides of the clamping box are fixedly installed with sliding grooves, the inner side of the sliding grooves is slidably connected with sliders, the inner sides of the two sliders are movably connected with movable rods through shafts, and the two movable rods pass through the bottom of the sliding grooves and the left and right sides of the clamping box and extend to the left and right sides of the mounting block.

[0013] More preferably, a hook is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block, and a clamping plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slider.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0015] I. This utility model, by pulling two levers, causes the bottom fixing block to move inward. As the fixing block moves, it compresses a rigid spring, generating elastic force and causing the insertion rod to move inward. The insertion rod moves out of the slot and releases the fixing of the mounting plate. By releasing the levers, the rigid spring releases pressure, allowing the fixing block and insertion rod to return to their original positions, thus locking and fixing the slot on the inner side of the mounting plate. This can significantly shorten maintenance time, reduce production downtime, and improve the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment.

[0016] II. This utility model involves hanging materials onto the hook body, which then moves the mounting block downwards under gravity. As the mounting block moves downwards, it stretches the tension spring and moves the movable rods on the left and right sides. As the movable rods move, they move the two sliders towards the inside of the chute. As the chute moves, it moves the clamping plate at the bottom towards the hook body, thus fixing the materials on the hook body surface. This reduces manual operation, improves material loading efficiency, and ensures a more stable and safer conveying process.

[0027] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a suspended conveyor with easy hook replacement, including a slide rail 1. Two movable wheels 2 are movably connected to the front and rear sides of the slide rail 1. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the movable wheels 2. An mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing plate 3. A replacement component 5 is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 4. The replacement component 5 includes a box body 501, which is movably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 4. Hard springs 502 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body 501. A fixing block 503 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hard spring 502, and the fixing block 503 is movably connected to the inner side of the box body 501.

[0031] By pulling the two levers 507, the levers 507 drive the bottom fixing block 503 to move inward. As the fixing block 503 moves, it compresses the rigid spring 502 to generate elastic force and drive the insertion rod 504 to move inward. The insertion rod 504 moves out of the inner side of the slot 508 and releases the fixation on the mounting plate 4. By releasing the levers 507, the rigid spring 502 releases the last pressure, allowing the fixing block 503 and the insertion rod 504 to reset and snap into the slot 508 inside the mounting plate 4. This can significantly shorten maintenance time, reduce production downtime, and improve the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in one embodiment, a plug rod 504 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing block 503. Slots 508 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the mounting plate 4. The plug rod 504 is engaged with the inner side of the slot 508. A box cover 505 is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top of the box body 501. A pull groove 506 is provided on the surface of the box cover 505. A pull rod 507 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 503, and the pull rod 507 is movably connected to the inner side of the pull groove 506. A limiting groove 510 is provided at the bottom of the box body 501. A limiting block 509 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing block 503, and the limiting block 509 is movably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 510. A clamping assembly 6 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The clamping assembly 6 includes... A clamping box 601 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. A tension spring 602 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the clamping box 601. A mounting block 603 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the clamping box 601 and at the bottom of the tension spring 602. Slide grooves 606 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the clamping box 601. A slider 605 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 606. Movable rods 604 are movably connected to the inner side of the two sliders 605 through shafts. The two movable rods 604 pass through the bottom of the slide groove 606 and the left and right sides of the clamping box 601 and extend to the left and right sides of the mounting block 603. A hook 607 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block 603. A clamping plate 608 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slider 605.

[0034] By hanging the material onto the hook 607, the hook 607 moves the mounting block 603 downwards under gravity. As the mounting block 603 moves downwards, it stretches the tension spring 602 and moves the movable rods 604 on the left and right sides. As the movable rods 604 move, they move the two sliders 605 towards the inside of the chute 606. As the chute 606 moves, it moves the bottom clamping plate 608 towards the hook 607, thus fixing the material on the surface of the hook 607. This reduces manual operation, improves material loading efficiency, and ensures a more stable and safer conveying process.

[0035] In operation, this invention works as follows: First, the material is hung on the hook 607. The hook 607, under gravity, moves the mounting block 603 downwards. Simultaneously, the mounting block 603 stretches the tension spring 602, causing the movable rods 604 on both sides to move. As the movable rods 604 move, they also move the two sliders 605 towards the inside of the slide groove 606. The movement of the slide groove 606, in turn, moves the bottom clamping plate 608 towards the hook 607, thus securing the material on the surface of the hook 607. This reduces manual operation, improves material loading efficiency, and ensures a more stable and safer conveying process. When replacing the hook, pull the two levers 507. The levers 507 move the bottom fixing block 503 inward. As the fixing block 503 moves, it compresses the rigid spring 502, generating elastic force and moving the insertion rod 504 inward. The insertion rod 504 moves out of the slot 508 and releases the fixing to the mounting plate 4. By releasing the levers 507, the rigid spring 502 releases its last pressure, allowing the fixing block 503 and the insertion rod 504 to reset and snap into the slot 508 inside the mounting plate 4. This can significantly shorten maintenance time, reduce production downtime, and improve the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment.

[0036] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
