Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical delivery equipment, and in particular to a reversing transverse transfer machine. Background Technology

[0002] When the conveying device is working on the material tray, due to factors such as space constraints, the transverse transfer machine needs to change the conveying direction of the material tray.

[0003] The existing transverse mechanism includes two vertically arranged conveying mechanisms. One conveyor is driven to lift and lower by a cylinder. During operation, the cylinder lifts one conveying mechanism to receive the incoming material tray, and then controls the conveying mechanism to lower, placing the material tray it received onto the other conveying mechanism for transport, thus completing the reversal. However, when the conveying mechanism receives the material tray, due to the weight of the material tray itself, the conveying mechanism on the side that first contacts the material tray will sink downwards and tilt, causing the cylinder drive rod to bend and deform. Over time, this will increase cylinder wear, reduce service life, require frequent cylinder replacement, and result in high maintenance costs.

[0004] The infusion drug tray reversing mechanism, with announcement number CN222497572U, is driven by multiple cylinders, but this greatly increases the overall manufacturing cost of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a reversing transverse conveyor that avoids the material tray pressing down on the conveying mechanism, thereby reducing overall manufacturing and maintenance costs, extending cylinder service life, and improving overall load-bearing capacity. The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0006] A reversing transverse conveyor includes a first conveying mechanism that conveys a tray along a second conveying direction, and a second conveying mechanism disposed within the first conveying mechanism that conveys the tray along the first conveying direction.

[0007] The bottom of the second conveying mechanism is provided with a driving component for driving the second conveying mechanism to rise and fall; the driving component includes a cylinder and a piston that can move within the cylinder, and the piston is provided with a drive shaft connected to the second conveying mechanism;

[0008] A support mechanism is provided between the drive component and the second conveying mechanism to increase the area supporting the second conveying mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a shaped flange and a support frame for supporting the second conveying mechanism. The shaped flange connects the driving component and the support frame, and a reinforcing plate is provided on the shaped flange.

[0010] More preferably, the diameter of the drive shaft is D, and the length of the irregular flange along the first conveying direction is L, where D > L / 3.

[0011] More preferably, the irregular flange includes a support arm extending along the first conveying direction and a base disposed in the middle of the support arm, the base having a mounting hole for connecting the drive shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the drive shaft has an annular groove at its end for mounting the support mechanism, and the drive shaft is a hollow structure.

[0013] Preferably, the device further includes a plurality of guide components, which are disposed on both sides of the drive component along the first conveying direction to guide the movement of the second conveying mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0015] This application increases the support area by setting up a support mechanism, thereby distributing the pressure of the support tray and reducing the pressure acting on the drive component. Only a single drive component is needed to drive the second conveying mechanism to move. By increasing the support area of ​​the drive component on the second conveying mechanism, the support stability is improved, and the tilting of the second conveying mechanism that would cause the drive shaft to bend and deform is avoided, thus increasing the service life and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0016] The diameter of the drive shaft is at least 1 / 3 of the length of the irregular flange along the first conveying direction. That is, the diameter of the drive shaft is larger, which further increases the contact area. In addition, the drive shaft is a hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the drive shaft, increase the load support, avoid drive shaft deformation, and reduce drive shaft wear.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 To further elaborate on this application:

[0029] Combination Figure 1 A reversing transverse conveyor includes a first conveying mechanism 10 that conveys a material tray along a second conveying direction, and a second conveying mechanism 20 disposed within the first conveying mechanism 10 that conveys the material tray along a first conveying direction; wherein the first conveying mechanism 10 and the second conveying mechanism 20 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 10 is a chain conveying mechanism, and the second conveying mechanism 20 is a roller conveying mechanism; of course, the first conveying mechanism 10 can also be a belt conveying mechanism or a roller conveying mechanism, etc.; the second conveying mechanism 20 can also be a chain conveying mechanism or a belt conveying mechanism, etc.

[0031] Combination Figure 2 The bottom of the second conveying mechanism 20 is provided with a driving component 30 for driving the second conveying mechanism 20 to rise and fall. Figure 2 (The movement is vertical). The driving component 30 includes a cylinder 30.1 and a piston that can move within the cylinder 30.1. The piston is provided with a drive shaft 30.2 connected to the second conveying mechanism 20. In this embodiment, the driving component 30 may be a cylinder.

[0032] The drive component 30 is connected to the second conveying mechanism 20 by the support mechanism 50, which increases the area supporting the second conveying mechanism 20. This prevents the second conveying mechanism 20 from concentrating the weight of the material tray on the side in contact with the tray when it receives it, thus increasing its load-bearing capacity, protecting the drive shaft 30.2, and extending its service life.

[0033] Combination Figure 3In this embodiment, the support mechanism 50 includes a shaped flange 50.1 and a support frame 50.2 for supporting the second conveying mechanism 20. The shaped flange 50.1 connects the drive component 30 and the support frame 50.2. The shaped flange 50.1 is T-shaped, which increases the area supporting the second conveying mechanism 20 and prevents the second conveying mechanism 20 from tilting.

[0034] In this embodiment, the diameter of the drive shaft 30.2 is D, and the length of the irregular flange 50.1 along the first conveying direction is L, where D > L / 3. That is, the diameter of the drive shaft 30.2 is relatively large. Therefore, it can support a larger load weight, further increasing the support area and preventing the drive shaft 30.2 from bending and deforming. It is also suitable for heavy-duty conveying environments.

[0035] This application first increases the contact area of ​​the support mechanism 50 for supporting the second conveying mechanism 20, and then, with the large-sized drive shaft 30.2, increases the contact area between the drive shaft 30.2 and the support mechanism 50, thereby preventing the second conveying mechanism from tilting, reducing the risk of deformation and wear of the drive shaft 30.2, and requiring only a single drive component 30 to drive the second conveying mechanism 20 to move, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs and increasing service life.

[0036] Combination Figure 4 The irregular flange 50.1 includes a support arm 50.12 extending along the first conveying direction and a base 50.11 disposed in the middle of the support arm 50.12. The base 50.11 is provided with a mounting hole 50.13 for connecting the drive shaft 30.2. The drive shaft 30.2 has an annular groove at its end, and the mounting hole 50.13 is installed within the annular groove. This increases the contact area between the irregular flange 50.1 and the drive shaft 30.2, improves the strength and rigidity of the connection, and further reduces the likelihood of the irregular flange 50.1 tilting.

[0037] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 30.2 is a hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the drive shaft 30.2 and improve its bending resistance.

[0038] In this embodiment, a reinforcing plate 60 is provided between the support arm 50.12 and the base 50.11 to connect them, thereby improving the rigidity of the irregular flange 50.1.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide components 40 are also included. The guide components 40 are disposed on both sides of the drive component 30 along the first conveying direction and are used to guide the movement of the second conveying mechanism 20. Each guide component 40 includes a guide post 40.1 and a copper sleeve 40.2. One end of the guide post 40.1 is fixed to the bottom of the support mechanism 50, and the copper sleeve 40.2 is disposed on the first conveying mechanism 10, sleeved on the outside of the guide post 40.1.

[0040] Compared to existing technologies that use linear bearings for guiding with large clearances, this application uses a copper sleeve 40.2 and a guide post 40.1 that fit tightly with small clearances, which can provide a certain degree of support for the support mechanism and prevent the second conveying mechanism 20 from tilting. In addition, the copper sleeve 40.2 has self-lubricating properties, which can effectively reduce motion resistance, reduce the working load of the drive component 30, and improve its service life.

[0041] The working process of this application:

[0042] Under normal conditions, the height of the second conveying mechanism 20 is lower than the height of the first conveying mechanism 10.

[0043] When the tray needs to be reversed, the drive component 30 pushes the second conveying mechanism 20 to rise above the height of the first conveying mechanism 10 to receive the tray.

[0044] When the tray moves onto the second conveying mechanism 20, the driving component 30 drives the second conveying mechanism 20 to descend and reset, and the tray will fall onto the first conveying mechanism 10. The first conveying mechanism 10 will then transport the tray away, completing the reversal.

[0045] In an embodiment not shown, the first conveying mechanism 10 can also be raised or lowered by driving it. In this case, the height of the first conveying mechanism 10 is normally lower than the height of the second conveying mechanism 20.
