Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of overhead conveyor technology, specifically a separation mechanism for an overhead conveyor chain used in spraying. Background Technology

[0002] The spray painting overhead conveyor chain is a widely used piece of equipment in modern coating production lines. It transports workpieces to different processing stations by suspension to complete processes such as spraying and drying. After the finished products have undergone spraying and drying, separation equipment is needed to remove them from the hangers.

[0003] In existing overhead chain conveyor systems, when separating moving items, the items can only be removed after the system has stopped moving. This repeated removal process affects the operation of the system and thus reduces work efficiency. In addition, it requires a separate unloading device or a worker to manually unload the items, which results in a significant investment cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a separation mechanism for a spray painting overhead conveyor chain, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A separation mechanism for a spray painting overhead conveyor chain includes:

[0007] A suspension structure, comprising a suspension base, wherein a hook groove is provided inside the suspension base, a hook is attached to the bottom of the hook groove, and a lifting ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hook;

[0008] The overall frame, with its middle section slidingly abutting against the suspension base;

[0009] The unhooking structure includes a wedge-shaped frame, and a push hook inclined surface is formed on one side surface of the wedge frame.

[0010] Furthermore, mounting bolts are inserted and installed on the top of the suspension base, and the suspension base is fixedly connected to the conveyor chain by the mounting bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the suspension structure also includes:

[0012] A storage board, which is fixedly installed on the front edge of the upper surface of the suspension base;

[0013] A locking plate, which is slidably engaged with the bottom of the storage plate;

[0014] A reset spring is embedded inside the storage plate, and the lower end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lock plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the overall framework includes:

[0016] The mounting base plate is suspended and mounted on one side of the conveyor chain by bolts;

[0017] L-shaped hangers are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the mounting base plate;

[0018] Base strip, which is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped hanger;

[0019] Support column, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base strip;

[0020] The slide rail is detached and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support column.

[0021] Furthermore, the overall framework also includes:

[0022] A connecting piece, which is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the L-shaped rod;

[0023] The abutting side plate is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the connecting piece.

[0024] Furthermore, the decoupling structure also includes:

[0025] A support bar is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the mounting base plate;

[0026] A lifting inclined plate is fixedly installed at one end of a support bar;

[0027] Mounting plate, which is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the support bar, and the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the wedge frame.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] 1. Several suspension bases are evenly arranged and fixed at the bottom of the conveyor chain using mounting bolts. At the end of each piece of equipment in the spraying system, an integral frame is suspended on one side of the conveyor chain, and the conveyor chain is secured in the gap at the top of the integral frame. The hook structure is installed in the air based on the integral frame. Under the drive of the conveyor chain, the wedge-shaped frame can pass through the hook groove relative to the suspension base. When the suspension base moves, the hook is pushed by the inclined surface of the hook to gradually disengage from the hook groove, realizing the separation of the part to be sprayed suspended by the lifting ring from the suspension base. With the ingenious design of the structure, combined with the original travel state of the suspended conveyor chain, the part to be sprayed and the conveying system are automatically separated, saving the labor cost during material unloading.

[0030] 2. During normal transport, the opening on one side of the hook groove is closed by the locking plate. When it travels to the disengagement structure, the lifting inclined plate contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the locking plate. As the suspension base continues to travel, it supports the locking plate and maintains the lifting state of the locking plate through the support bar during this period, so as to facilitate the wedge frame to push the hook out of the hook groove. After the suspension base passes the disengagement structure, the locking plate loses support and closes again under the push of the return spring. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a separation mechanism for a spray painting overhead conveyor chain includes a suspension structure 1, an integral frame 2, and a disengagement structure 3. The suspension structure 1 includes a suspension base 101, with a hook groove 102 inside the suspension base 101. A hook 107 is hooked at the bottom of the hook groove 102, and a lifting ring 108 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hook 107. The middle part of the integral frame 2 slides against the suspension base 101. The disengagement structure 3 includes a wedge-shaped frame 304, with a push hook inclined surface 305 on one side surface of the wedge-shaped frame 304. An installation bolt 103 is inserted and installed on the top of the suspension base 101, and the suspension base 101 is fixedly connected to the conveyor chain by the installation bolt 103.

[0038] Specifically, several suspension bases 101 are evenly arranged and fixed at the bottom of the conveyor chain by mounting bolts 103. At the end of each piece of equipment in the spraying system, an integral frame 2 is suspended on one side of the conveyor chain, and the conveyor chain is locked in the gap at the top of the integral frame 2. The hook structure 3 is installed in the air based on the integral frame 2. Under the drive of the conveyor chain, the wedge frame 304 can pass through the hook groove 102 relative to the suspension base 101. When the suspension base 101 moves, the hook 107 is pushed away from the hook groove 102 by the push hook inclined surface 305, so that the part to be sprayed suspended by the lifting ring 108 is separated from the suspension base 101. By using the ingenious structural design, in conjunction with the original travel state of the suspended conveyor chain, the part to be sprayed and the conveying system are automatically separated, saving the working cost during material unloading.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the overall frame 2 includes a mounting base 201, an L-shaped hanger 202, a base strip 203, a support column 204, and a release rail 205. The mounting base 201 is suspended and mounted on one side of the conveyor chain by bolts; the L-shaped hanger 202 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the bottom of the mounting base 201; the base strip 203 is fixedly mounted on one end of the L-shaped hanger 202; the support column 204 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base strip 203; and the release rail 205 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support column 204.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper end of the release rail 205 is aligned with the position where the hook 107 and the hook groove 102 are separated by the L-shaped rod 202 and the base bar 203. At the same time, the actual width of the release rail 205 is three-fifths of the opening of the hook groove 102 to ensure that the hook 107 can properly engage with the release rail 205 when it is separated from the hook groove 102. The release rail 205 guides the part to be painted, which is suspended by the hook 107 and the lifting ring 108, to slide away together to facilitate the next step of the operation.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 3As shown, in this embodiment, the overall frame 2 also includes a connecting piece 206 and an abutting side plate 207. The connecting piece 206 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the L-shaped rod 202; the abutting side plate 207 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the connecting piece 206.

[0043] In practice, when the suspension base 101 moves, it will pass between the abutment side plate 207 and the mounting base plate 201. The abutment side plate 207 abuts and limits the suspension base 101 on the back, so as to avoid the reaction force of the wedge frame 304 pushing the hook 107 causing the suspension base 101 to shift its position and affect the separation effect.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to compensate for the situation in Embodiment 1 where, when the suspended base 101 and the hook 107 are hooked together to suspend and transport the part to be painted, if there is a slippage of the goods, the hook 107 may easily detach from the opening on one side of the hook groove 102.

[0046] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the suspension structure 1 further includes a storage plate 104, a locking plate 105, and a return spring 106. The storage plate 104 is fixedly installed on the front edge of the upper surface of the suspension base 101; the locking plate 105 is slidably engaged with the bottom of the storage plate 104; the return spring 106 is embedded inside the storage plate 104, and the lower end of the return spring 106 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the locking plate 105; the unhooking structure 3 further includes a support bar 301, a lifting inclined plate 302, and a mounting plate 303. The support bar 301 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the mounting base 201; the lifting inclined plate 302 is fixedly installed on one end of the support bar 301; the mounting plate 303 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the support bar 301, and the bottom of the mounting plate 303 is fixedly connected to the wedge frame 304.

[0047] In specific implementation, during normal transport, the locking plate 105 closes one side of the opening of the hook groove 102. When it travels to the unhooking structure 3, the lifting inclined plate 302 contacts the bottom corner of the locking plate 105. As the suspension base 101 continues to travel, it supports the locking plate 105. During this period, the support bar 301 keeps the locking plate 105 in a lifted state so that the wedge frame 304 can push the hook 107 out of the hook groove 102. After the suspension base 101 passes the unhooking structure 3, the locking plate 105 loses support and closes again under the push of the return spring 106.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0049] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
