Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic brick conveying devices, and in particular to a turning and redirecting mechanism for a ceramic brick conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of ceramic tiles, due to the spatial layout and process requirements of the production line, ceramic tiles need to be turned around and redirected during transportation in order to make effective use of limited space, maintain high transportation efficiency, avoid the monotony of the production line layout, and thus improve the flexibility of the entire production process. This allows ceramic tiles to be transported in different directions to adapt to multiple tasks such as processing, packaging, and sorting.
[0003] However, existing ceramic tile conveyor belt systems are not very flexible when turning ceramic tiles around and changing direction. They cannot quickly adapt to different paths and adjust directions, which restricts the operation of the production line and makes it impossible to efficiently transport different batches of ceramic tiles. Moreover, ceramic tiles are brittle and are prone to collision damage when turning around and changing direction, resulting in defective products and affecting the company's production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a turning and redirecting mechanism for ceramic brick conveyor belts that provides stable conveying, high flexibility, and effectively improves conveying efficiency.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a turning and redirecting mechanism for a ceramic brick conveyor belt, comprising a frame, a first roller conveyor mechanism, a second roller conveyor mechanism, a transfer conveyor mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a redirecting conveyor belt;
[0007] The first roller conveyor mechanism and the second roller conveyor mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the frame, and the conveying directions of the first roller conveyor mechanism and the second roller conveyor mechanism are opposite.
[0008] The redirecting conveyor belt is disposed in the gap of the first roller conveyor mechanism. The lifting mechanism is connected to the redirecting conveyor belt. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the redirecting conveyor belt to move up and down to adjust the horizontal height difference between the redirecting conveyor belt and the first roller conveyor mechanism.
[0009] The transfer conveyor is located between the first roller conveyor and the second roller conveyor. The transfer conveyor is used to receive ceramic bricks conveyed from the redirecting conveyor belt and convey them to the second roller conveyor.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, in the ceramic brick conveyor belt turning and redirecting mechanism, the lifting mechanism includes a push cylinder and a lifting plate.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, in the ceramic brick conveyor belt turning and redirecting mechanism, the redirecting conveyor belt includes a conveyor belt body, a transmission wheel, a rotating shaft, and a rotation drive assembly;
[0012] Multiple drive wheels are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the lifting plate, and the multiple drive wheels are connected to each other through the conveyor belt body. The drive wheels are mounted on the rotating shaft, and the rotation drive assembly is connected to the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0013] The conveyor belt body is located in the gap of the first roller conveyor mechanism, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt body is consistent with the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor mechanism.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, in the turning and redirecting mechanism of the ceramic brick conveyor belt, the lifting mechanism further includes a base plate, a guide rod and a linear bearing. The pushing cylinder is located at the bottom of the base plate, the linear bearing is located on the base plate, the guide rod is sleeved inside the linear bearing, and the top of the guide rod is connected to the lifting plate.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, in the ceramic brick conveyor belt turning and redirecting mechanism, the first roller conveying mechanism and the second roller conveying mechanism have the same structure, both including a conveying roller, a driven sprocket, a transmission chain, a driving sprocket and a drive motor;

[0017] In the above technical solution, the conveying roller in the ceramic brick conveyor belt turning and redirecting mechanism is made of rubber.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the transfer conveying mechanism of the ceramic brick conveyor belt is a roller conveying mechanism.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The first and second roller conveyor mechanisms of this utility model are arranged in opposite directions. The lifting mechanism can adjust the height of the redirecting conveyor belt. When the ceramic bricks are conveyed above the redirecting conveyor belt, the lifting mechanism drives the redirecting conveyor belt to rise, so that the ceramic bricks can be smoothly conveyed to the second roller conveyor mechanism through the transfer conveyor mechanism.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a turning and redirecting mechanism for a ceramic tile conveyor belt, including a frame 1, a first roller conveyor mechanism 2, a second roller conveyor mechanism 3, a transfer conveyor mechanism 4, a lifting mechanism 5, and a redirecting conveyor belt 6. The first roller conveyor mechanism 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism 3 are respectively disposed on both sides of the frame 1, and the conveying directions of the first roller conveyor mechanism 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism 3 are arranged in opposite directions. The redirecting conveyor belt 6 is disposed in the gap of the first roller conveyor mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 5 is connected to the redirecting conveyor belt 6, and the lifting mechanism 5 is used to drive the redirecting conveyor belt 6 to move up and down to adjust the horizontal height difference between the redirecting conveyor belt 6 and the first roller conveyor mechanism 2. The transfer conveyor mechanism 4 is disposed between the first roller conveyor mechanism 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism 3, and the transfer conveyor mechanism 4 is used to receive ceramic tiles conveyed from the redirecting conveyor belt 6 and convey them to the second roller conveyor mechanism 3. The first roller conveyor mechanism 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism 3 are respectively located on both sides of the frame 1, and their conveying directions are opposite. This allows for the reversal of ceramic bricks within a certain space, enabling flexible adjustment of the conveying direction to adapt to different production needs and process requirements, reducing the floor space of the production line, and improving conveying efficiency. The reversing conveyor belt 6 is positioned within the gap of the first roller conveyor mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 5 can drive the reversing conveyor belt 6 to move up and down. When the ceramic bricks are conveyed above the reversing conveyor belt 6, the lifting mechanism 5 is activated, driving the reversing conveyor belt 6 to rise and contact the ceramic bricks. At this point, the ceramic bricks are conveyed to the transfer conveyor mechanism 4 under the action of the reversing conveyor belt 6. The transfer conveyor mechanism 4 then conveys the ceramic bricks to the second roller conveyor mechanism 3, thus achieving the reversal of the ceramic bricks' conveying direction. In this embodiment, the transfer conveyor mechanism 4 is a roller conveyor mechanism.
[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting mechanism 5 further includes a pushing cylinder 51 and a lifting plate 52. The pushing cylinder 51 is located at the bottom of the frame 1, with its movable end facing upwards and connected to the lifting plate 52. The redirecting conveyor belt 6 is mounted on the lifting plate 52 and is used to rise and fall with the movement of the pushing cylinder. When the movable end of the pushing cylinder 51 rises, the lifting plate 52 rises accordingly, thereby driving the redirecting conveyor belt 6 to rise as well, so that the redirecting conveyor belt 6 contacts the ceramic bricks being conveyed above, thus achieving redirected conveying.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the redirecting conveyor belt 6 further includes a conveyor belt body 61, drive wheels 62, a rotating shaft 63, and a rotary drive assembly 64. Multiple drive wheels 62 are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the lifting plate 52, and are connected to each other via the conveyor belt body 61. The drive wheels 62 are mounted on the rotating shaft 63, and the rotary drive assembly 64 is connected to the rotating shaft 63 to drive its rotation. The conveyor belt body 61 is located in the gap of the first roller conveyor mechanism 2, and its conveying direction is consistent with that of the transfer conveyor mechanism 4. The drive wheels 62 are connected to the rotary drive assembly 64 via the rotating shaft 63. The rotary drive assembly 64 can drive the rotating shaft 63 to rotate, thereby causing the drive wheels 62 to rotate, thus driving the conveyor belt body 61 to rotate and convey.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 5 further includes a base plate 53, a guide rod 54, and a linear bearing 55. The push cylinder 51 is located at the bottom of the base plate 53, the linear bearing 55 is located on the base plate 53, the guide rod 54 is sleeved inside the linear bearing 55, and the top of the guide rod 54 is connected to the lifting plate 52. This arrangement makes the lifting process of the lifting plate 52 more stable, avoids deviation or shaking during the lifting process, thereby affecting the conveying stability of ceramic tiles and reducing collisions.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first roller conveyor mechanism 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism 3 have the same structure, each including a conveying roller 21, a driven sprocket 22, a transmission chain, a driving sprocket 23, and a drive motor 24. Multiple conveying rollers 21 are spaced apart on the frame 1. The driven sprocket 22 is located at the end of the conveying roller 21. The drive motor 24 is located at the bottom of the frame 1, and its output end is connected to the driving sprocket 23. The driving sprocket 23 and the driven sprocket 22 are connected by the transmission chain. After the drive motor 24 starts, the driving sprocket 23 drives the transmission chain to rotate, which in turn drives the driven sprocket 22 to rotate, thereby driving the conveying roller 21 to rotate, thus realizing the conveying of ceramic tiles.
[0034] Furthermore, the conveying roller 21 is made of rubber, which has strong elasticity and friction properties, effectively reducing the impact between the ceramic brick and the conveying roller 21 and preventing scratches or damage to the surface of the ceramic brick. In addition, the conveying roller 21 can also provide good friction to prevent the ceramic brick from sliding or shifting, thereby improving the stability of the conveying process.
[0035] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
