Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server manufacturing technology, specifically to an external roller production line. Background Technology
[0002] A server is a computer device used to store, process, and transmit data. It is typically used as the infrastructure for network services, providing various services and resources to other devices. Servers possess powerful processing capabilities, large storage capacity, and high-speed network connectivity, primarily used to provide network services such as website hosting, email, databases, file storage and sharing, etc. In server manufacturing processes, external roller conveyor lines are often used; these are roller conveyor lines connected externally, mainly used for conveying and handling materials during server production.
[0003] Conventional external roller conveyors require pre-installation structural adjustments due to their relatively fixed structure, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, roller conveyors are generally unidirectional, necessitating the use of a separate roller conveyor to change direction, thus increasing operating costs and the space occupied by the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed an external roller line. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an external roller conveyor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an external roller conveyor, comprising a cylinder and a limiting plate, wherein the limiting plate is horizontally mounted on the power output end of the cylinder, and a tooling plate proximity sensor is provided on one side of the limiting plate, and a switch assembly is provided on the side of the tooling plate proximity sensor away from the limiting plate, and a driven roller is horizontally arranged below the limiting plate, linear bearings are provided on both sides of the cylinder, a roller motor is provided below the driven roller, and two sets of transmission belts are horizontally interlaced among multiple sets of driven rollers, and a belt motor is connected to the bottom of the transmission belts, and a lifting belt line is provided at the bottom of the belt motor.
[0007] Furthermore, a limit switch is provided on the side of the driven rollers away from the limit plate, and support frame groups are connected to both ends of the driven rollers. Adjustable feet are installed at the bottom of the support frame groups, and stabilizing support plates are provided on the sides of the adjustable feet. At the same time, universal wheels are provided on the other side of the adjustable feet, and a protective cover is installed above the cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, the output end of the cylinder is connected to the limiting plate through a movable structure, and the cylinder and the limiting plate are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of one end of the support frame assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the linear bearing has a connecting shaft structure running through its middle for connecting and combining with one side of the limiting plate, and both the cylinder and the linear bearing are located below the protective cover.
[0010] Furthermore, the tooling plate proximity sensor and switch assembly are both located at the top of the middle section of the support frame assembly, and the horizontal height of the tooling plate proximity sensor and switch assembly is higher than the horizontal height of the driven roller.
[0011] Furthermore, the driven rollers are horizontally arranged and installed at the top center of the support frame assembly, and the transmission belt is parallel to the driven rollers and is mounted in the middle of the support frame assembly.
[0012] Furthermore, the transmission belt is connected to the lifting belt line via a bracket structure, and the lifting belt line is used to connect the transmission belt with the belt motor to move up and down in the vertical direction.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjustable feet and casters are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the support frame assembly, and the stabilizing support plates are symmetrically installed on the lower ends of the left and right sides of the support frame assembly. Moreover, the limit switch is located at the end of the support frame assembly away from the limit plate.
[0014] This utility model provides an external roller conveyor, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model, by connecting a lifting belt line below the transmission belt, utilizes this structural connection to drive the transmission belt to adjust its vertical position by a certain distance when the lifting belt line is operating. This ensures that the horizontal height of the transmission belt is slightly higher than that of the drum motor, allowing the belt motor to drive the transmission belt to rotate and ensuring transmission in the horizontal X-axis direction for the material. This allows the material to move from the upstream equipment to the surface of the driven drum. Simultaneously, after the structure is reset under the action of the lifting belt line, unnecessary structural interference is minimized when the driven drum transmits material in the horizontal Y-axis direction. This ensures the effectiveness and flexibility of the device's operation. The entire device also allows for both horizontal X and Y axis operation, facilitating material conveying adjustments and adapting to different upstream device output structures. Furthermore, the protective cover provides good structural shielding for the cylinder and linear bearings, providing structural protection.
[0016] 2. This utility model features adjustable feet and stabilizing plates at the bottom of the support frame assembly. The adjustable feet, when vertically screwed, maintain sufficient ground stability. Furthermore, by adjusting each foot differently, the bottom of the adjustable feet can be adjusted to different heights to accommodate uneven ground, ensuring the device is placed stably. The stabilizing plates assist the adjustable feet in providing sufficient ground support and offer a degree of anti-slip protection. Adjusting the feet also allows one of the casters to disengage from the ground, minimizing slippage and impacting material handling. The casters also facilitate easy relocation by operators when the device is not in use; simply push it to the designated location when needed. This maximizes the device's overall ease of use and structural flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an external roller conveyor includes a cylinder 1 and a limiting plate 2. The limiting plate 2 is horizontally mounted on the power output end of the cylinder 1. A tooling plate proximity sensor 3 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 2, and a switch assembly 4 is provided on the side of the tooling plate proximity sensor 3 away from the limiting plate 2. A driven roller 5 is horizontally arranged below the limiting plate 2. Linear bearings 6 are provided on both sides of the cylinder 1. A roller motor 7 is provided below the driven roller 5. Two sets of transmission belts 8 are horizontally interlaced between multiple sets of driven rollers 5. A belt motor 9 is connected to the bottom of the transmission belts 8, and a lifting belt 10 is provided at the bottom of the belt motor 9. A limit switch 11 is provided on the side away from the limit plate 2, and a support frame assembly 12 is connected to both ends of the driven roller 5. An adjustable foot 13 is installed at the bottom of the support frame assembly 12, and a stabilizing support plate 14 is provided on the side of the adjustable foot 13. A caster wheel 15 is provided on the other side of the adjustable foot 13. A protective cover 16 is installed above the cylinder 1. When the lifting belt 10 is in operation, it can drive the transmission belt 8 to be lifted and lowered by a certain distance in the vertical direction to ensure that the horizontal height of the transmission belt 8 is slightly higher than that of the roller motor 7. This ensures that when the belt motor 9 drives the transmission belt 8 to rotate, it can ensure that the material is provided with transmission in the horizontal X-axis direction.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the output end of cylinder 1 is connected to the limiting plate 2 via a movable structure. Cylinder 1 and limiting plate 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of one end of the support frame assembly 12. A connecting shaft structure runs through the middle of linear bearing 6 and is used to connect and combine with one side of the limiting plate 2. Cylinder 1 and linear bearing 6 are both located below the protective cover 16. Tooling plate proximity sensor 3 and switch assembly 4 are both located at the top of the middle section of the support frame assembly 12. The horizontal height of tooling plate proximity sensor 3 and switch assembly 4 is higher than the horizontal height of driven roller 5. Driven roller 5 is horizontally arranged and installed in the middle of the top of the support frame assembly 12. The transmission belt 8 is parallel to the driven roller 5 and is mounted in the middle of the support frame assembly 12. The transmission belt 8 is connected to the lifting belt line 10 via a bracket structure. The system is interconnected, and the lifting belt 10 is used to connect the transmission belt 8 of the belt motor 9 to lift up and down in the vertical direction. Adjustable feet 13 and casters 15 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the support frame assembly 12, and the stabilizing support plate 14 is symmetrically installed on the lower left and right sides of the support frame assembly 12. The limit switch 11 is located at the end of the support frame assembly 12 away from the limit plate 2. By vertically rotating the adjustable feet 13, the entire device can maintain sufficient ground stability. At the same time, by rotating each adjustable foot 13 differently, when the external roller line encounters relatively uneven ground, the bottom of the adjustable feet 13 can be adjusted to different heights according to the undulations of the ground to ensure that the entire device can be placed stably on the ground.
[0025] In summary, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when using this external roller conveyor, the structure of the multiple sets of universal wheels 15 set on both sides of the bottom of the adjusting support 13 is first used to connect the entire external roller conveyor to the output end of the upstream equipment, while ensuring that the transmission direction of the transmission belt 8 is consistent with the direction of the upstream equipment.
[0026] The entire external roller conveyor is started using switch combination 4. When the material in the upstream equipment is delivered to the entire roller conveyor along with the conveyor belt product, the tooling plate proximity sensor 3 on one side of the support frame assembly 12 will start the lifting belt 10 when it detects the material. Under the operation of the lifting belt 10, the transmission belt 8 will be lifted synchronously with the belt motor 9. At the same time, the belt motor 9 will drive the transmission belt 8 to rotate. At this time, the rotating transmission belt 8 will be lifted to a level slightly higher than the driven roller 5, so as to ensure that the entire material can be completely conveyed to the external roller conveyor.
[0027] Then, the lifting belt 10 will drive the transmission belt 8 to reset the structure, and the bottom of the material will fall onto the surface of the driven roller 5. Under the drive of the roller motor 7, multiple sets of driven rollers 5 will rotate axially synchronously, thereby driving the material to translate in the horizontal Y-axis direction. When it moves between the left and right limit plates 2, the extension and retraction of the cylinder 1 will drive the limit plate 2 connected to it to move synchronously and push it to the side of the material. During this process, since the linear bearing 6 has a connecting shaft structure in the middle and is used to connect and combine with one side of the limit plate 2, the structural stability of the translation of the limit plate 2 is ensured. As the material is limited and clamped, it is convenient for the downstream packaging line to package the material.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
