Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, and in particular to a flow line diversion device. Background Technology

[0002] To improve production efficiency, enterprises are adopting assembly line operations to replace traditional methods. Assembly line operations can increase production efficiency through automated operation, enabling continuous operation and significantly improving work efficiency. Compared to traditional manual work, automated assembly lines can complete a large number of tasks in a shorter time, meeting the high demands of the modern market; they also reduce labor costs and labor intensity.

[0003] Traditional assembly line operations typically package one type of product per line. When production volume is relatively high, products cannot be packaged in time, leading to product backlog and production line interruptions. Furthermore, prolonged storage of backlogged products poses safety hazards. To better utilize assembly line packaging and resolve product backlog issues on a single line, a belt conveyor is installed perpendicular to the conveyor direction of the assembly line to divert backlogged products.

[0004] When transferring products from the assembly line to the belt conveyor, they need to be rotated 90 degrees to maintain their original orientation for subsequent labeling and other processes. This requires a lifting and rotating mechanism, such as the lifting and rotating device disclosed in patent CN211806746U. However, this mechanism can only lift and rotate the product 90 degrees. Manual labor or a costly robotic arm is then needed to place the rotated product onto the belt conveyor. There is a lack of a low-cost mechanism to perform the above operations after the lifting and rotating process. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the current problem of lacking a low-cost mechanism for loading rotated products onto a belt conveyor after lifting and rotation, this invention provides a production line diversion device.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A production line diversion device includes a roller conveyor, with a belt conveyor perpendicular to its conveying direction mounted on one side of the roller conveyor. A lifting and rotating mechanism is mounted on the roller conveyor in conjunction with the belt conveyor. The lifting and rotating mechanism includes a lifting component mounted on the frame of the roller conveyor. A limit plate is installed at the output end of the lifting component. A rotating component is located in the middle of the limit plate. A pushing component is located on one side of the limit plate. By using the pushing component on the limit plate, the lifting component can lift the limit plate, confining the product within it. The rotating component within the limit plate rotates the product, and then the pushing component pushes the product to the belt conveyor. This eliminates the need for a costly robotic arm, and by integrating the lifting, rotating, and pushing components onto the limit plate, costs are reduced, making it suitable for widespread adoption.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting plate includes a main plate with a U-shaped cross-section; an L-shaped plate is provided in the middle of the side of the horizontal plate of the main plate; the horizontal plate of the main plate is positioned below the rollers of the roller conveyor; the vertical plate of the main plate is positioned within the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor; the two vertical plates of the main plate are arranged front and back along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor; the rotating component is positioned in the middle of the horizontal plate of the main plate; the pushing component is positioned on the L-shaped plate, and the pushing direction of the pushing component is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor; the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate is positioned on the outside of the roller conveyor frame. The main plate design can limit the product between the two vertical plates of the main plate, ensuring the rotation of the product by the rotating component; the L-shaped plate design facilitates the installation of the pushing component and avoids interference when the lifting component is raised or lowered.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a rotary cylinder; the rotary cylinder is mounted in the middle of the horizontal plate of the main board; a flat plate is mounted on the output end of the rotary cylinder. The rotary cylinder is used to achieve the rotation of the product.

[0010] Preferably, the roller conveyor has a notch at the rotary cylinder; idler rollers are provided on both sides of the notch; and an opening is provided on the frame of the roller conveyor to cooperate with the belt conveyor.

[0011] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a pushing cylinder; the cylinder body is mounted on the L-shaped plate; the piston rod of the pushing cylinder passes through the L-shaped plate and is fitted with a push plate. The pushing cylinder drives the push plate to push the rotated product on the flat plate to the belt conveyor.

[0012] Preferably, insert plates are fixedly provided on both sides of the push plate. These insert plates can be inserted into the bottom surface of the product during push, ensuring smooth pushing.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes two lifting cylinders spaced apart; the cylinder bodies of the lifting cylinders are mounted on the frame of the roller conveyor; and the piston rods of the lifting cylinders are connected to the bottom surface of the main horizontal plate.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the advantages of this utility model include: by setting a pushing component on the limiting plate, the lifting component can lift the limiting plate and restrict the product within the limiting plate. The rotating component inside the limiting plate rotates the product, and then the pushing component pushes the product to the belt conveyor. This avoids the installation of a costly robotic arm. By integrating the lifting component, rotating component, and pushing component on the limiting plate, the cost is reduced, making it suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0022] like Figures 1-2As shown, a production line diversion device includes a roller conveyor 1, a belt conveyor 2 perpendicular to its conveying direction is provided on one side of the roller conveyor 1, and a lifting and rotating mechanism is provided on the roller conveyor 1 in conjunction with the belt conveyor 2; a notch 101 is provided on the roller conveyor 1 in conjunction with the lifting and rotating mechanism; idler rollers 102 are provided on both sides of the notch 101 to ensure the conveying of products through the notch 101; an opening 103 is provided on the frame of the roller conveyor 1 in conjunction with the belt conveyor 2 to facilitate the diversion of products from the roller conveyor 1 to the belt conveyor 2.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting and rotating mechanism includes a lifting assembly, which includes two spaced-apart lifting cylinders 8. The cylinder bodies of the lifting cylinders 8 are mounted on the frame of the roller conveyor 1. The piston rods of the lifting cylinders 8 are connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate of the main plate 301 of the limiting plate 3. The limiting plate 3 includes a main plate 301 with a U-shaped cross-section. An L-shaped plate 302 is provided in the middle of the side of the horizontal plate of the main plate 301. The horizontal plate of the main plate 301 is located below the rollers of the roller conveyor 1. The vertical plate of the main plate 301 is located within the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor 1. The two vertical plates of the main plate 301 are arranged back and forth along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 1. The rotating assembly is located in the middle of the horizontal plate of the main plate 301. The pushing assembly is located on the L-shaped plate 302, and the pushing direction of the pushing assembly is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 1. The vertical plate of the L-shaped plate 302 is located on the outside of the frame of the roller conveyor 1. The design of the mainboard 301 confines the product between the two vertical plates of the mainboard 301, ensuring the rotation of the rotating component relative to the product; the design of the L-shaped plate 302 facilitates the installation of the push component and avoids interference when the lifting component is raised or lowered.

[0024] In the above configuration, the rotating component includes a rotary cylinder 4; the rotary cylinder 4 is installed in the middle of the horizontal plate of the main board 301; a flat plate 5 is installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 4. The rotary cylinder 4 is used to rotate the product. The pushing component includes a pushing cylinder 6; the cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 6 is set on the L-shaped plate 302; the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 6 passes through the L-shaped plate 302 and is connected to a push plate 7. The pushing cylinder 6 drives the push plate 7 to push the rotated product on the flat plate 5 to the belt conveyor 2. Insert plates 701 are fixedly installed on both sides of the push plate 7, which can be inserted into the bottom surface of the product during pushing to ensure smooth pushing.

[0025] When products accumulate on roller conveyor 1, lifting cylinder 8 activates, lifting the product at gap 101. Simultaneously, one vertical plate of main board 301 restricts the continued conveying of subsequent products on roller conveyor 1, while another vertical plate of main board 301 confines the product to plate 5. As rotary cylinder 4 rises with limiting plate 3, it lifts the product on plate 5, detaching it from idler roller 102 and the rollers of roller conveyor 1. Then, rotary cylinder 4 activates, rotating the product on plate 5 90 degrees. Simultaneously with the lifting of limiting plate 3, the pushing component on L-shaped plate 302 also rises above one side of roller conveyor 1. After rotary cylinder 4 rotates the product, pushing cylinder 6 activates, and the insert plate 701 of push plate 7 inserts under the product, pushing the product from opening 103 onto belt conveyor 2. This design avoids the need for a costly robotic arm, integrating the lifting, rotating, and pushing components onto limiting plate 3, reducing costs and making it suitable for widespread adoption.
