Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco conveying technology, and in particular to a side plate that can run synchronously with the bottom belt. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable part of the tobacco processing production line, the precision of the tobacco conveyor belt's design and operation directly reflects the smoothness of the entire production process and the quality standards of the final tobacco products. This feed belt is not only a bridge for tobacco from the raw material area to the processing area, but also a key to ensuring production continuity, reducing material loss, and improving product consistency.

[0003] However, conveyor belts typically have side rails of a certain height on both sides. The main function of these side rails is to guide the tobacco along a predetermined path and prevent it from deviating or spilling during transport. But in actual operation, when the conveyor belt moves forward at a stable speed, the tobacco inevitably comes into contact with the side rails. This contact, especially at high speeds or with large quantities of material, becomes more frequent and intense due to friction. The tobacco sticks together due to mutual compression and friction, gradually forming clumps. Therefore, a new conveying solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 A side plate capable of operating synchronously with a bottom belt includes a base 1 and two L-shaped support plates 2 disposed on the base 1. The two L-shaped support plates 2 are symmetrically disposed on the base 1. Two conveyor rollers 3 are rotatably connected between the two L-shaped support plates 2. The two conveyor rollers 3 are connected by a bottom conveyor belt 4. A motor 5 is fixedly installed on one of the L-shaped support plates 2. The output shaft of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the conveyor rollers 3. A horizontal plate 16 is fixedly installed on one of the L-shaped support plates 2. The bottom of the motor 5 is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate 16.

[0027] To further explain, the bottom conveyor belt 4 can transport materials, and the motor 5 is a common technology in the prior art, so it will not be elaborated on here.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a side support mechanism is provided on the L-shaped support plate 2; the side support mechanism includes a fixed plate 6 fixed on the L-shaped support plate 2, and two rotating shafts 7 are rotatably connected between the L-shaped support plate 2 and the fixed plate 6. The two rotating shafts 7 on the same side are connected by a side conveyor belt 8. A first bevel gear and two second bevel gears are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shafts 7 and the conveyor rollers 3 respectively. Adjacent first bevel gears and second bevel gears are meshed and connected. The bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8 move in the same direction.

[0029] To further explain, by setting a side support mechanism on the L-shaped support plate and using the meshing connection of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, the rotating shaft 7 drives the side conveyor belt 8 to move in the same direction as the bottom conveyor belt 4 driven by the conveyor roller 3. This ensures that the material conveying of the entire conveying system at different positions (bottom and side) can be carried out synchronously, which is conducive to the smooth and orderly conveying of items and avoids the situation of items getting stuck or shifting due to asynchrony.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a first pulley adapted to the bottom conveyor belt 4 is fitted on the outer wall of the conveyor roller 3, and a second pulley adapted to the side conveyor belt 8 is fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7.

[0031] This further explains that it helps to better drive the conveyor belt, ensure the effectiveness of power transmission, and enable the conveyor belt to rotate stably according to design requirements, thus achieving the normal transport of goods.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are the same size.

[0033] To further explain, this configuration ensures that the side conveyor belt 8 and the bottom conveyor belt 4 achieve a relatively stable and appropriate transmission ratio during power transmission, resulting in better synchronous operation and further improving the reliability of the entire conveying system.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a gap-filling mechanism is provided between the bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8. The gap-filling mechanism includes a folding plate 9 fixedly installed on a fixed plate 6, and a triangular plate 10 fixedly installed on the folding plate 9. The two folding plates 9 and the two triangular plates 10 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom conveyor belt 4. A fixing groove 11 is provided on the outer wall and bottom of the triangular plate 10. A connecting shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 11. The distance between two adjacent connecting shafts 12 on the same side is the same. A synchronous roller 13 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 12. The synchronous roller 13 located on the side contacts the side conveyor belt 8, and the synchronous roller 13 located below contacts the bottom conveyor belt 4.

[0035] To further explain, the folding plate 9, the triangular plate 10, and the synchronous roller 13 rotatably connected to them in the gap-filling mechanism allow the synchronous roller 13 located on the side to contact the side conveyor belt 8, and the synchronous roller 13 located below to contact the bottom conveyor belt 4. This effectively fills any gaps that may occur between the bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8, making the connection between the conveyor belts tighter and preventing items from getting stuck in the gaps or causing transmission interruptions when passing through the connection points of the conveyor belts, thus ensuring the continuity of the item transmission process.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8 are equipped with belt support mechanisms. The belt support mechanism includes multiple auxiliary shafts 14 rotatably connected between the two L-shaped support plates 2 and between the L-shaped support plates 2 and the fixed plate 6. Belt support cylinders 15 are fixedly sleeved on the auxiliary shafts 14. The outer wall of the belt support cylinder 15 located on the side contacts the inner wall of the side conveyor belt 8, and the outer wall of the belt support cylinder 15 located at the bottom contacts the inner wall of the bottom conveyor belt 4.

[0037] To further explain, the auxiliary shafts 14 rotatably connected to corresponding positions in the support belt mechanism, and the support belt cylinders 15 fixedly sleeved on them, respectively contact the inner walls of the side conveyor belt 8 and the bottom conveyor belt 4, playing a supporting role for the conveyor belt. This allows the conveyor belt to maintain a suitable shape and a certain tension, preventing the conveyor belt from becoming loose or deformed during long-term operation or when conveying heavy items, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt and ensuring the stability of item conveying.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the distance between two adjacent auxiliary axes 14 on the same side is the same.

[0039] To elaborate further, this design allows the filling mechanism and the support mechanism to exert a more even force on the conveyor belt, avoiding uneven local stress and facilitating the smooth and continuous completion of the item conveying task.

[0040] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0041] When the power supply to motor 5 is turned on and the start switch of motor 5 is pressed, motor 5 will start running. The output shaft of motor 5 drives the conveyor roller 3. Under the action of friction, the other conveyor roller 3 rotates synchronously, realizing the cyclic operation of the bottom conveyor belt 4.

[0042] At the same time, as the second bevel gear on the conveyor roller 3 rotates, and because the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 7, the power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 7, which drives the side conveyor belt 8 to start running in the same direction as the bottom conveyor belt 4.

[0043] The tobacco is continuously fed onto the bottom conveyor belt 4. A large amount of tobacco will fall onto the bottom conveyor belt 4, and at the same time, the tobacco will come into contact with the side conveyor belt 8. The bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8 move in the same direction and cooperate with each other, so that when the device conveys the tobacco, the tobacco will not rub against the side conveyor belt 8 and stick together, and will not clump together, making it smoother.

[0044] As the bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8 continuously convey tobacco shreds, the tobacco shreds can be unloaded from the ends of the bottom conveyor belt 4 and the side conveyor belt 8 until the conveying of tobacco shreds stops. After the tobacco shreds on the bottom conveyor belt 4 have been conveyed, the motor 5 can be turned off.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
