Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated production technology, specifically relating to a material receiving mechanism for automated material production. Background Technology
[0002] Material receiving mechanisms are key pieces of equipment used for conveying materials in industrial production and are widely used in various industries. Their core function is to smoothly and efficiently transport materials from one location to another through the rotation of rollers. Material receiving roller conveyors typically consist of rollers, a frame, and a control system, and are characterized by their simple structure, stable operation, and convenient maintenance.
[0003] However, the existing receiving mechanism lacks a buffer structure. Since there is no buffer structure at the end of the receiving roller conveyor, when the material is moving at a high speed on the receiving roller conveyor, the material may be directly rushed into the subsequent production line from the receiving roller conveyor, which may lead to damage to the material or the production line.
[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material receiving mechanism for automated material production, which can slow down the material speed and prevent damage to the material and production line.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides the following technical solution: A receiving mechanism for automated material production includes a receiving roller conveyor, a buffer baffle assembly, and a drive assembly. The receiving roller conveyor has a receiving end and a discharging end for conveying materials; the buffer baffle assembly is vertically and flexibly disposed near the discharging end of the receiving roller conveyor to block the materials and slow down their speed; the drive assembly is connected to the buffer baffle assembly and drives the buffer baffle assembly to move up and down to be higher or lower than the upper surface of the receiving roller conveyor; wherein, the buffer baffle assembly includes a lifting frame, a buffer plate, and an elastic element. The lifting frame is disposed near the discharging end of the receiving roller conveyor and connected to the drive assembly; the buffer plate is connected to the lifting frame and can move up and down together with the lifting frame; there is a gap between the buffer plate and the lifting frame; the elastic element is disposed between the lifting frame and the buffer plate, and both ends of the elastic element abut against the lifting frame and the buffer plate, respectively.
[0007] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the lifting frame is provided with a through hole, the buffer plate is provided with a guide post, the guide post is inserted into the through hole, and the buffer plate can move away from or closer to the lifting frame along the axial direction of the through hole.
[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the elastic element is disposed on the guide post, such that the elastic force of the elastic element acts on the lifting frame and the buffer plate along the axial direction of the guide post.
[0009] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, guide rails are provided on both sides of the discharge end of the receiving roller conveyor, and sliders are provided on both sides of the lifting frame at positions corresponding to the guide rails. The sliders are engaged on the guide rails and drive the lifting frame to move up and down along the guide rails.
[0010] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of sliders are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on each side of the lifting frame, and each slider is engaged on the guide rail.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the receiving roller conveyor is inclined and the receiving end is higher than the discharging end; and / or, the up-and-down movement direction of the buffer baffle assembly is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a material receiving mechanism for automated material production according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving roller conveyor 1, a buffer baffle assembly 2, and a drive assembly 3. The receiving roller conveyor 1 has a receiving end 11 and a discharging end 12 for conveying materials. The buffer baffle assembly 2 is vertically and flexibly disposed near the discharging end 12 of the receiving roller conveyor 1 to block materials and slow their speed. The drive assembly 3 is connected to the buffer baffle assembly 2 and drives the buffer baffle assembly 2 to move up and down to be above or below the upper surface of the receiving roller conveyor 1. The buffer baffle assembly 2 includes a lifting frame 21, a buffer plate 22, and an elastic element. The lifting frame 21 is disposed near the discharging end 12 of the receiving roller conveyor 1 and connected to the drive assembly 3, and can move up and down along the height direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1. The buffer plate 22 is connected to the lifting frame 21 and can rise and fall together with the lifting frame 21. There is a gap between the buffer plate 22 and the lifting frame 21. An elastic element (not shown in the figure) is disposed between the lifting frame 21 and the buffer plate 22, and the two ends of the elastic element abut against the lifting frame 21 and the buffer plate 22 respectively.
[0025] The material receiving mechanism for automated material production operates as follows: Material enters from the receiving end 11 of the receiving roller conveyor 1 and is accelerated on the receiving roller conveyor 1, reaching the discharge end 12. At this point, the material has a certain speed. The lifting frame 21 and buffer plate 22 of the buffer baffle assembly 2 protrude from the upper surface of the receiving roller conveyor 1 under the drive of the drive assembly 3, preventing the material from directly entering the production line connected to the receiving roller conveyor 1. When the material comes into contact with the buffer plate 22, the material is decelerated at the buffer plate 22, and the buffer plate 22 simultaneously cancels out the impact force on the material. Then, the lifting frame 21 and buffer plate 22 descend under the drive of the drive assembly 3 and are lower than the upper surface of the receiving roller conveyor 1, so that the material can enter the subsequent production line at a low speed without causing damage to the material itself or the production line.
[0026] Before being impacted by materials, the buffer plate 22 has a gap between itself and the lifting frame 21. The elastic element is also in its natural state. When the buffer plate 22 is impacted by materials, the buffer plate 22 deforms, the elastic element is compressed, the impact force of the materials is offset, the materials are decelerated, and damage to the materials is avoided due to excessive impact force between the materials and the buffer plate 22.
[0027] In the above embodiment, the material receiving mechanism for automated material production can effectively reduce the speed of the material at the discharge end 12 by setting up a liftable buffer baffle assembly 2, so as to prevent the material from directly entering the subsequent production line at a high speed. At the same time, the buffer baffle 22 can offset the impact force of the material, so as not to cause damage to the material and the production line.
[0028] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the buffer plate 22 is movably connected to the lifting frame 21 and can move closer to or further away from the lifting frame 21. Specifically, the lifting frame 21 has a through hole 211, for example, the through hole 211 is formed on the lifting frame 21 along the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1 and passes through both the front and rear surfaces of the lifting frame 21. The buffer plate 22 is provided with a guide post 221, for example, the guide post 221 is provided on the buffer plate 22 along the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1. The guide post 221 is inserted into the through hole 211 so that the buffer plate 22 can move closer to or further away from the lifting frame 21 along the axial direction of the through hole 211. Preferably, the axial direction of the through hole 211 is consistent with the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1, so that the movement direction of the buffer plate 22 after being impacted is consistent with the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1, so as to offset the impact force of the material to the greatest extent. The buffer plate 22 can be an elastic plate or a rigid plate that can undergo elastic deformation.
[0029] Furthermore, the elastic element is disposed on the guide post 221; for example, the elastic element can be sleeved on the guide post 221. This arrangement ensures that the elastic force of the elastic element always acts on the lifting frame 21 and the buffer plate 22 along the axial direction of the guide post 221, and is aligned with the direction of the impact force of the material, thereby effectively counteracting the impact force of the material. Alternatively, the elastic element can be a rubber sleeve, spring, or other accessory that achieves a similar effect.
[0030] In one embodiment, guide rails 212 are provided on both sides of the discharge end 12 of the receiving roller conveyor 1, and sliders 213 are provided on both sides of the lifting frame 21 at positions corresponding to the guide rails 212. The sliders 213 are engaged on the guide rails 212 and drive the lifting frame 21 to move up and down along the guide rails 212.
[0031] The guide rail 212 and slider 213 are designed to ensure that the lifting direction of the buffer baffle assembly 2 is fixed. On the other hand, the slider 213 is locked on the guide rail 212 to prevent the buffer baffle assembly 2 from falling off the receiving roller 1 after being impacted.
[0032] Furthermore, multiple sliders 213 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on each side of the lifting frame 21, and each slider 213 is engaged on the guide rail 212. For example, two sliders 213 are arranged at intervals on each side of the lifting frame 21, and each slider 213 is engaged on the guide rail 212, which improves the stability and impact resistance of the lifting frame 21 as it moves on the receiving roller conveyor 1.
[0033] The vertical movement of the lifting frame 21 is achieved by the drive assembly 3. The drive assembly 3 includes multiple drive cylinders 31. The drive cylinders 31 are located below the buffer baffle assembly 2 and are used to drive the buffer baffle assembly 2 to move vertically. For example, there can be two drive cylinders 31, with each drive cylinder 31 located on one side of the lifting frame 21, thereby achieving the vertical movement of the lifting frame 21.
[0034] To more accurately control the lifting and lowering of the lifting frame 21, sensors 14 are installed on both sides of the receiving roller conveyor 1 near the buffer baffle assembly 2. When material collides with the buffer baffle 22, the sensors 14 can sense the position of the material and transmit the position signal to the external controller. After receiving the position signal, the external controller controls the drive assembly 3 to drive the buffer baffle assembly 2 to descend. After the material passes through, the sensors 14 sense that the material has left and transmit the signal to the external controller again. The external controller then controls the drive assembly 3 to drive the buffer baffle assembly 2 to rise.
[0035] In one embodiment, L-shaped brackets 214 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the lifting frame 21. An upwardly extending damper 215 is provided on the L-shaped bracket 214. The top end of the damper 215 can abut against the bottom of the receiving roller conveyor 1. When the lifting frame moves upward, the damper 215 can, on the one hand, abut against the bottom of the receiving roller conveyor 1, preventing the lifting frame 21 from directly contacting the receiving roller conveyor 1 and thus avoiding damage after prolonged use; on the other hand, it can limit the moving distance of the lifting frame, preventing the lifting frame 21 from moving too much or slipping off the guide rail.
[0036] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vertical movement direction of the buffer baffle assembly 2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1. This arrangement maximizes the contact area between the material and the buffer baffle assembly 2, minimizing the impact force between the material and the buffer plate 22.
[0037] In one embodiment, limiting plates 13 extending along the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1 are provided on both sides of the receiving roller conveyor 1 to prevent material from falling from the receiving roller conveyor 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, the receiving roller conveyor 1 is inclined, and the receiving end 11 is higher than the discharging end 12. When the receiving roller conveyor 1 is inclined, the receiving mechanism does not need to be equipped with an additional drive device; the material can move from the receiving end 11 to the discharging end 12 by its own gravity. It is understood that when the receiving roller conveyor 1 is inclined or horizontal, the receiving mechanism can be equipped with a drive device to drive the rollers on the conveyor to rotate. The drive device is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] In summary, this material receiving mechanism for automated material production, by incorporating a liftable buffer baffle assembly 2, effectively reduces the material speed at the discharge end 12, preventing the material from directly entering the subsequent production line at high speed and thus avoiding damage to the material and the production line. An elastic element is installed between the lifting frame 21 and the buffer plate 22 to effectively offset the impact force of the material. The vertical movement direction of the buffer baffle assembly 2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the receiving roller conveyor 1, maximizing the impact area between the material and the buffer plate 22, thus dispersing and offsetting the impact force to the greatest extent possible, thereby preventing damage to the material and the production line.
