Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transportation equipment technology, and specifically relates to a material conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Flywheels are important mechanical transmission components widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, and construction machinery industries. Flywheel machining generally begins with inspecting the raw material (usually cast steel or forged steel) according to design drawings and requirements, including material properties, dimensions, and surface defects. Then, the raw material is cut and ground to obtain the desired preliminary shape. Next, according to the flywheel's design requirements, the raw material is precisely machined using tools such as lathes and milling machines. First, turning and external bore machining are performed on the lathe to obtain the flywheel's outer diameter and shaft hole. Then, milling grooves and flattening are performed on the milling machine to obtain the flywheel's inner hole and flat surface. Throughout the machining process, dimensional accuracy and surface quality requirements must be ensured. Various inspection tools, such as calipers and vernier calipers, can be used to measure and inspect the machined parts to ensure they meet technical requirements.

[0003] Because flywheel processing involves multiple steps, it is typically transported via a material conveying device to transfer it between various processing stages. Current technology has automated processes such as turning and cleaning, but manual intervention is generally required before and after these stages. While automated processes are obviously faster than manual ones, stopping automated processes to wait for manual intervention is wasteful. Therefore, providing a controllable material conveying device to address this inefficiency could effectively improve flywheel processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of how to provide an adjustable material conveying device with poor working efficiency in the existing technology, this utility model provides a material conveying device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A material conveying device includes a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism, with a height difference between the first and second conveying mechanisms. Material can be conveyed from the discharge end of the first conveying mechanism to the loading end of the second conveying mechanism. The first conveying mechanism includes an active conveying section and a passive conveying section. The passive conveying section is inclined and its lower end is close to the second conveying mechanism. The width of the first conveying mechanism is at least twice the width of the conveyed material. The passive conveying section is provided with at least one blocking mechanism that can block material passing through the passive conveying section.

[0007] By adopting this technical solution, the present invention sets up a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism. The first conveying mechanism can simultaneously accommodate multiple materials side by side. The active transport section transports the materials row by row to the passive transport section, while only one material will follow the passive transport section to the second conveying mechanism for transport to the next section. The remaining materials are intercepted by the blocking mechanism in the passive transport section. After a certain period of time, the blocking mechanism can stop blocking in sequence, so that each row of materials arrives at the second conveying mechanism one by one in order, thereby realizing the adaptive adjustment of the processing efficiency of different sections.

[0008] Preferably, the active conveying section is an active horizontal roller conveyor with a horizontal conveying surface. The passive conveying section includes a support frame with a receiving groove. Several conveying rollers are rotatably connected in the receiving groove, forming a continuous and inclined conveying surface that is in contact with the horizontal conveying surface.

[0009] After adopting this technical solution, the material is conveyed from the horizontal conveying surface of the active conveying section to the inclined conveying surface, and then slides onto the second conveying mechanism under the action of gravity.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism is an electric telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder is connected to the baffle.

[0011] After adopting this technical solution, the baffle extends out from the gap between two adjacent conveyor rollers through the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the width of the horizontal conveying surface and the width of the inclined conveying surface are equal. At least two first conveying areas are provided on the horizontal conveying surface, and at least two second conveying areas are provided on the inclined conveying surface. One first conveying area and one second conveying area form a conveying channel. The number of conveying channels is 1 greater than the number of blocking mechanisms.

[0013] With this technical solution, the number of blocking mechanisms is one less than the number of conveying channels, so that only one material will slide directly to the second conveying mechanism, while the remaining materials are blocked by the blocking mechanisms, thus achieving the effect of releasing them one by one.

[0014] Preferably, the blocking mechanism is located at the top of the passive conveying section.

[0015] By adopting this technical solution, the blocking mechanism can be set at the top of the passive conveying section, which can reduce the impact force of the material on the blocking mechanism and improve the service life of the blocking mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, a sliding mechanism is also included, which includes a fixed part and a sliding part, the sliding part being slidably disposed on the fixed part, and the first conveying mechanism being disposed on the sliding part.

[0017] With this technical solution, the distance between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism can be adjusted by the sliding mechanism after the first conveying mechanism is set on the sliding mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, the first conveying mechanism is provided with a cover.

[0019] Preferably, the second conveying mechanism is a conveyor belt.

[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This utility model is equipped with a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism. The first conveying mechanism can simultaneously accommodate multiple materials side by side. The active transport section transports the materials row by row to the passive transport section, while only one material will be transported along the passive transport section to the second conveying mechanism and then to the next process section. The remaining materials are intercepted by the blocking mechanism in the passive transport section. After a certain period of time, the blocking mechanism can stop blocking in sequence, so that each row of materials arrives at the second conveying mechanism one by one in order. This achieves adaptive adjustment of the processing efficiency of different process sections. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a material conveying device includes a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism 1. There is a height difference between the first and second conveying mechanisms 1. It should be noted that the height difference means that the conveying section of the first conveying mechanism is higher than the conveying section of the second conveying mechanism 1, and the material can reach the loading end of the second conveying mechanism 1 via the discharge end of the first conveying mechanism (i.e., the end of the conveying section of the first conveying mechanism is directly above or level with the conveying section of the second conveying mechanism 1; in other embodiments, it may be slightly lower than the conveying section of the second conveying mechanism 1). The first conveying mechanism includes an active conveying section 201 and a passive conveying section 202. The passive conveying section 201... 2. Inclined Setting: It should be noted that the inclination degree of the passive conveying section 202 can be set as needed, with a preferred inclination degree of 30°-60°. In this embodiment, it is 45° to ensure that the transported material can pass through the passive conveying section 202 under the action of gravity. The lower end of the passive conveying section 202 is positioned close to the second conveying mechanism 1. The width of the first conveying mechanism is at least twice the width of the transported material. The passive conveying section 202 is equipped with at least one blocking mechanism to block material passing through it. It should be noted that since the width of the first conveying mechanism is at least twice the width of the transported material, each row can accommodate at least two materials. For example, if the material is a flywheel, then the width of the first conveying mechanism can accommodate two flywheels per row. It should be noted that a gap of at least 2cm should be left between the two flywheels and between the flywheel and the first conveying mechanism to ensure that the flywheel can be transported smoothly. The width of the blocking mechanism is at least greater than half the width of the transported material to ensure a blocking effect. The blocking mechanism should be located in the middle of the material's movement path to ensure an interception effect. In this embodiment, the width of the horizontal conveying surface and the width of the inclined conveying surface are equal. Two first conveying zones are provided on the horizontal conveying surface, and two second conveying zones are provided on the inclined conveying surface, forming two conveying channels. One blocking mechanism is provided. It should be noted that this device is mainly designed for conveying uniform materials, such as flywheels; therefore, the shape and size of each material are completely consistent.

[0031] The method of using this utility model takes flywheels as the transport material as an example: The pre-processing section places the processed flywheels on the active conveying section 201 of the first conveying mechanism (which can be done manually or by an automated mechanical gripper). The number of flywheels placed in each row is determined according to the size of the first conveying mechanism. Here, we take two flywheels per row as an example. Then, one blocking mechanism is set up, and the blocking mechanism is located on the movement path of one of the flywheels. The active conveying section 201 automatically transports the flywheels on it to the passive conveying section 202. At this time, the blocking mechanism is in the blocking state. Therefore, one of the two flywheels that arrive at the passive conveying section 202 slides directly to the second conveying mechanism 1 and is transported to the next section by the second conveying mechanism 1, while the other flywheel is blocked by the blocking mechanism. After a certain period of time, the previous flywheel has been transported away by the second conveying mechanism 1. At this time, the blocking mechanism can be opened to stop the blocking, so that the second flywheel can reach the second conveying mechanism 1 and continue to be transported, thereby realizing batch adjustment.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the active conveying section 201 is an active horizontal roller conveyor. The active horizontal roller conveyor has a driving force, which can drive the upper roller to rotate, thereby transporting the flywheel on it from one end to the other end, until it reaches the passive conveying section 202 from the active conveying section 201. The active horizontal roller conveyor is provided with a horizontal conveying surface. The passive conveying section 202 includes a support 203. The support 203 is provided with a receiving groove 204. Several conveying rollers are rotatably connected in the receiving groove 204. The several conveying rollers form a continuous and inclined conveying surface. The inclined conveying surface is in contact with the horizontal conveying surface, thereby realizing the transportation of materials.

[0033] In one embodiment, a gap exists between two adjacent conveying rollers. The blocking mechanism includes a baffle 3 disposed within the gap, and a telescopic mechanism for extending and retracting the baffle 3 is disposed below the conveying roller. The telescopic mechanism allows the baffle 3 to extend or retract from the gap and into the space beneath the conveying roller, thereby achieving blocking and stopping. It should be noted that the extension and retraction frequency of the telescopic mechanism can follow a set program, for example, based on time, extending, holding for 10 seconds, then retracting, then extending again for 2 seconds, and so on.

[0034] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism is an electric telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder is connected to the baffle 3. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic cylinder causes the baffle 3 to extend or retract. To achieve automatic retraction of the electric telescopic cylinder, it can be electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to a timer. The controller drives the electric telescopic cylinder to retract or extend according to the timer.

[0035] In one embodiment, the blocking mechanism is located at the upper part of the passive conveying section 202. The lower the blocking mechanism is, the greater the impact force of the sliding material under the influence of gravitational potential energy. Therefore, placing the blocking mechanism at the upper part of the passive conveying section can reduce the impact force of the material on the blocking mechanism and improve its service life. Figure 3 As shown, the blocking mechanism is located between the first conveyor roller and the second conveyor roller.

[0036] In one embodiment, a sliding mechanism 5 is further included. The sliding mechanism 5 includes a fixed part and a sliding part, with the sliding part slidably disposed on the fixed part. The first conveying mechanism is disposed on the sliding part. In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism 5 includes a first electric slide rail and a second electric slide rail, both of which have a self-locking function. The two sides of the first conveying mechanism are respectively connected to the sliding members of the first and second electric slide rails. The first and second electric slide rails can move the first sliding mechanism closer to or further away from the second conveying mechanism 1, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the first and second conveying mechanisms 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, a cover 4 is provided on the first conveying mechanism. Specifically, the cover 4 is provided on the active transport section 201. By providing the cover 4, washing water or machining waste can be intercepted from reaching the active transport section 201, thus avoiding affecting its drive and improving the service life of the device.

[0038] In one embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt. Specifically, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the positional relationship between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism 1 is such that the transport line of the second conveying mechanism 1 is perpendicular to the transport line of the first conveying mechanism, which facilitates transportation.

[0039] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are detailed and specific, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the technical solution of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
