[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A folding chip conveyor, including
[0029] A horizontal crossbeam 10, with a first inner cavity inside the horizontal crossbeam 10;
[0030] An inclined support 20 is provided, and a second inner cavity is provided inside the inclined support 20, which is opposite to the first inner cavity;
[0031] The connecting component 30 is connected to the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined upright 20. It is used to connect the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity in the working state to form a chip removal channel, and to rotate the inclined upright 20 relative to the horizontal crossbeam 10 in the folded state so that the inclined upright 20 abuts against the upper part of the horizontal crossbeam 10.
[0032] The chip removal assembly 40 includes a chip removal conveyor belt 401, a drive rotating shaft 402, and a driven rotating shaft 403. The chip removal conveyor belt 401 is installed in the chip removal channel. The drive rotating shaft 402 is installed at one end of the chip removal conveyor belt 401 located in the second inner cavity and is connected to the chip removal conveyor belt 401. The driven rotating shaft 403 is installed at one end of the chip removal conveyor belt 401 located in the first inner cavity and is connected to the chip removal conveyor belt 401, and is used to cooperate with the drive rotating shaft 402 to drive the chip removal conveyor belt 401 to rotate.
[0033] The adjustment assembly 50 includes a mounting base 501 and a connecting block 502. The mounting base 501 is installed at both ends of the outer side of the inclined support 20, and the mounting base 501 is provided with a mounting groove 503. The connecting block 502 is located in the mounting groove 503 and can move as needed within the mounting groove 503. The two ends of the drive rotating shaft 402 are respectively connected to the connecting blocks 502 located on both sides of the inclined support 20. Specifically, by adjusting the relative position of the connecting blocks 502 in the mounting groove 503, since the two ends of the drive rotating shaft 402 are connected to the connecting blocks 502, the position of the drive rotating shaft 402 in the second inner cavity can be effectively adjusted, so that the tension of the chip conveyor belt 401 can be adjusted as needed.
[0034] A drive assembly 60 is mounted on the side of one of the mounting bases 501 and connected to a connecting block 502 and a drive shaft 402. The drive assembly 60 moves with the connecting block 502 and drives the drive shaft 402 to rotate.
[0035] Specifically, in the working state, the inclined upright 20 is located on one side of the horizontal crossbeam 10, so that the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity are aligned to form a chip removal channel. At this time, the drive assembly 60 drives the active rotating shaft 402 to rotate, and then the active rotating shaft 402, in conjunction with the driven rotating shaft 403, drives the chip removal conveyor belt 401 to rotate, so that the waste chips falling into the first inner cavity are transferred to the end of the second inner cavity through the chip removal conveyor belt 401, and output to the external waste chip storage device through the chip removal port 201 provided at the end of the inclined upright 20; it should be noted that at this time, the connecting block 502 is located at the end of the mounting groove 503 away from the horizontal crossbeam 10, so that the chip conveyor belt 401 is in a relatively taut state, thereby improving the stability of the chip conveyor belt 401 when rotating; conversely, in the folded state, the connecting block 502 is moved to the end of the mounting groove 503 near the horizontal crossbeam 10, so that the chip conveyor belt 401 is in a relatively slack state. At this time, the inclined upright 20 is rotated toward the horizontal crossbeam 10 by the connecting assembly 30, so that the inclined upright 20 abuts against the top of the horizontal crossbeam 10, thereby saving space and facilitating transportation.
[0036] The present invention relates to a folding chip conveyor, which, through the arrangement of a connecting component 30, a chip conveying component 40, an adjusting component 50 and a driving component 60, enables the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined vertical frame 20 to cooperate to form a working state and a folding state. The structure is compact, easy to transport, and greatly improves the user experience.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the connecting assembly 30 includes a hinge 301 for connecting the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined upright 20, enabling the inclined upright 20 to move relative to the horizontal crossbeam 10. Specifically, during assembly, the inclined upright 20 is positioned on one side of the horizontal crossbeam 10, with the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity aligned. At this time, the hinge 301 is installed above the adjacent ends of the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined upright 20, with one side of the hinge 301 connected to the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the other side connected to the inclined upright 20, thereby completing the rotational connection between the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined upright 20.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the chip conveyor belt 401 is formed by sequentially hinged chain plates 404, and a drive chain 405 is connected to the side of the chip conveyor belt 401; the drive shaft 402 and the driven shaft 403 are provided with drive gears 406 that cooperate with the drive chain 405 to drive the drive chain 405 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, during operation, the drive assembly 60 drives the drive shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive chain 405 to rotate through the drive gears 406, thereby driving the chip conveyor belt 401 to rotate.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, chip removal baffles 407 are provided at equal intervals on the surface of the chip removal conveyor belt 401. In this embodiment, the chip removal baffles 407 are provided to block and protect the waste chips when they enter the second inner cavity for lifting, thereby reducing the phenomenon of waste chips rolling off and getting stuck.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the connecting block 502 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 503; a connecting plate 504 connected to the connecting block 502 is provided on the outer side of one of the mounting seats 501, and the outer side of the mounting seat 501 is provided with a clearance groove 505 for the connecting plate 504 to move with the mounting seat; the drive assembly 60 is installed on the connecting plate 504; in the working state, the connecting plate 504 is fixed to the end of the mounting seat 501 away from the horizontal crossbeam 10 by bolts. Specifically, in the working state, the connecting plate 504 is fixed to the end of the mounting base 501 away from the horizontal crossbeam 10 by bolts, so that the connecting block 502 is located at the end of the mounting groove 503 away from the horizontal crossbeam 10, thereby making the chip conveyor belt 401 in a relatively taut state, thus enabling stable operation; when folding is required, the bolts are removed, so that the connecting plate 504 and the mounting base 501 are in a movable state, so that the connecting block 502 can slide as needed in the mounting groove 503, and then rotate the inclined upright 20 relative to the horizontal crossbeam 10, so that the inclined upright 20 abuts against the top of the horizontal crossbeam 10. At this time, the connecting block 502 slides in the mounting groove 503 to the end close to the horizontal crossbeam 10.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the drive assembly 60 includes a drive motor 601 mounted on the connecting plate 504 and connected to the active rotation shaft 402 for driving the active rotation shaft 402 to rotate. Specifically, the drive motor 601 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 504, and its power output end passes through the connecting block 502 and is connected to the active rotation shaft 402. During folding, the drive motor 601 moves with the connecting plate 504.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, a support frame 70 is also included at the bottom of the inclined frame 20 for supporting the inclined frame 20 in the working state. The support frame 70 improves the stability of the inclined frame 20 in the working state.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the bottom of the support frame is provided with universal casters 701.
[0044] The present invention relates to a folding chip conveyor, which, through the arrangement of a connecting component 30, a chip conveying component 40, an adjusting component 50 and a driving component 60, enables the horizontal crossbeam 10 and the inclined vertical frame 20 to cooperate to form a working state and a folding state. The structure is compact, easy to transport, and greatly improves the user experience.
[0045] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
