Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pallet support for roller conveyors, specifically a pallet adapter applicable to different roller conveyor structures. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, workpiece assembly and transport are crucial links in the production process. Typically, workpieces are assembled at various workstations on the first floor, and then transported between different lines via roller conveyors on the second floor. However, current pallet designs have limitations. The roller conveyors on the first and second floors differ in design. If the pallets are designed independently, workpieces need to be removed and reattached to the next pallet when transferring to the second floor or to different lines. This results in a very cumbersome process, increasing the labor intensity of workers, reducing production efficiency, and easily leading to workpiece damage or inaccurate positioning due to frequent disassembly and reassembly, seriously affecting production continuity and product quality. Utility Model Content

It eliminates the need to design pallets separately for each type of roller conveyor, reduces production costs, and improves equipment utilization and the overall adaptability of the production system.

[0016] 4. After actual production verification, the solution has been put into production and is operating stably. It runs smoothly on the second-floor roller conveyor without any problems and can reliably serve the production process for a long time, providing a strong guarantee for the company's stable production, reducing production interruptions caused by equipment failure or unstable factors, and further improving the continuity and stability of production.

[0017] 5. By adopting this pallet adapter, the equipment layout on the production floor can be simplified. There is no need to set up too many pallet conversion devices or additional workpiece handling equipment between different floors and lines, which saves production space, makes the production floor cleaner and more orderly, and also reduces equipment investment and maintenance costs.

[0018] In summary, this utility model of a pallet adapter applicable to different roller conveyor structures provides an innovative solution to the shortcomings of existing pallet designs in production. It not only effectively solves the problem of cumbersome procedures during workpiece transfer, but also improves production efficiency, quality, and stability in multiple aspects. It has significant practical value and broad application prospects, and is of great significance for promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial production methods.

[0028] This utility model provides a tray adapter applicable to different roller conveyor structures, including an adapter tray 1 and a removable adapter 2.

[0029] The adapter tray 1 includes a horizontally arranged tray base plate 11, which is rectangular and has a base plate roller 12 horizontally arranged at each of the four corners of its bottom surface via brackets; a base plate lifting ring 13 is arranged at each of the four corners of the top surface of the tray base plate 11 to assist in the hoisting of the adapter tray 1; at the same time, multiple tray positioning blocks are arranged on the bottom surface of the tray base plate 11 for positioning and connection between the adapter tray 1 and the conveyor roller.

[0030] An arrow marker 14 is provided on the top surface of the tray base plate 11 at the center of one of its long sides to indicate the installation direction of the adapter tray 1, so as to ensure that the product supported and fixed can be installed smoothly and accurately. On the top surface of the tray base plate 11, two vertical guide brackets 15 are symmetrically arranged at their center point near the other long side. The two guide brackets 15 have concave rectangular grooves 16 on their opposite sides. A guide bearing 17 is embedded in the three sides of the top of the guide bracket 15. An adapter base 18 is provided on the top surface of the tray base plate 11 between the two guide brackets 15. The two vertical sides and the bottom side of the adapter base 18 are connected and fixed to the two guide brackets 15 and the tray base plate 11 by multiple bolts.

[0031] The adapter 2 includes a horizontally arranged rectangular adapter base plate 21. An adapter roller 22 is mounted at each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the adapter base plate 21 via brackets. Multiple adapter positioning blocks are also provided on the bottom surface of the adapter base plate 21 for positioning and connection with the conveyor rollers. A rectangular, upwardly protruding first pad 23 is provided at the center of the top surface of the adapter base plate 21. The center of the first pad 23 is on the same vertical line as the center of the adapter base plate 21, and the four sides of the first pad 23 are parallel to the four sides of the adapter base plate 21. Clamping brackets 24 extending outward to the sides of the adapter base plate 21 are provided at both ends of the four sides of the first pad 23. The clamping brackets 24 have axially recessed clamping positioning holes 25 at their ends located on the sides of the adapter base plate 21. During use, the adapter 2 is clamped and fixed by inserting a machine tool clamping device into the clamping positioning holes 25, thereby achieving the positioning function.

[0032] A fixed guide frame 26 with the same side length is provided on the top surface of the first pad 23. Fixed guide support plates 27 extending outward are respectively provided on the four sides of the fixed guide frame 26. Four rectangular positioning support seats 28 are provided on the top surface of the fixed guide frame 26. A reinforcing rib plate 29 fixed to the top surface of the first pad 23 is provided between two adjacent positioning support seats 28 to ensure the support strength of the positioning support seats 28. The four reinforcing rib plates 29 are respectively arranged parallel to the four sides of the first pad 23. At the same time, the center point of the rectangle of the positioning support seat 28 and the center point of the first pad 23 are located on the same vertical line.

[0033] The top of the positioning support 28 is provided with a recessed fixing screw hole for fixing and connecting with the workpiece.

[0034] In use, the adapter tray 1 is set on the conveyor rollers on the first floor, which transport the adapter tray 1 to various workstations on the first floor. The fixed guide plate 27 of the adapter 2 is rotated to a vertical position and inserted into the rectangular slots 16 of the two guide brackets 15. During insertion and removal, the guide bearings 17 assist in smooth insertion and removal. The workpiece is fixedly connected to four positioning support seats 28 with bolts. When the adapter 2 is inserted into the adapter tray 1, the workpiece is located above the tray bottom plate 11, and then the conveyor rollers on the first floor carry the workpiece to... Assembly operations are performed at each workstation. During assembly at each workstation, the machine tool's clamping device is inserted into the clamping positioning hole 25 for positioning and clamping, thereby achieving the positioning function of the adapter 2. After the assembly operation is completed on the first floor, it needs to be transferred to the conveyor roller conveyor on the second floor. The conveyor roller conveyor on the second floor is used for conveying between various lines. Since the roller conveyors on the first and second floors are different, the adapter 2, together with the fixed workpiece, is simply pulled upward from between the two guide brackets 15, and then transferred to the conveyor roller conveyor on the second floor. The adapter 2 is then placed horizontally on the roller conveyor, and the conveyor roller conveyor on the second floor is used for conveying and assembling between various lines.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that all other embodiments obtained by making various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention and without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
