Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated material conveying technology, and in particular to a single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines. Background Technology

[0002] A conveyor line is an automated conveying device that transports materials and equipment along a preset route. It accurately moves materials from one location to another at the optimal path and fastest speed, completing the spatial and temporal transfer of goods. In the warehousing and logistics industries, materials are transported and transferred via conveyor lines. However, during the transport and transfer of materials via conveyor lines, limitations imposed by the site environment and changes in destination requirements necessitate rerouting and reversal. The reversing transfer mechanism is a device installed at each node of the conveyor line. The reversing transfer mechanism is interspersed and fixed in the gaps between the conveyor rollers, with its transmission direction perpendicular to the conveyor line's direction. During operation, a lifting mechanism on the reversing transfer mechanism raises the horizontal belt conveyor unit module above the roller surface of the conveyor line, allowing it to carry away the items at the transfer mechanism and continue transmission along the conveying direction of the reversing transfer mechanism's belt conveyor unit module, ultimately completing the reversal of the transported items.

[0003] Existing reversing transfer machines require at least two drive components to complete both the lifting and horizontal belt conveying actions. Typically, one motor is used for lifting, while one or more electrically operated rubber-coated rollers are needed for horizontal belt conveying. The more mechanical components a conveyor line has, the more complex its structure becomes, and the higher its manufacturing costs. Therefore, reducing the number of mechanical components not only optimizes the mechanical structure space but also significantly reduces project development costs, especially for more expensive mechanical components like drive mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines, which solves the problems of existing reversing transfer machines for conveyor lines having a large number of mechanical drives, complex mechanical structures, and high design costs.

[0005] This utility model discloses a single-drive reversing transfer machine for a conveyor line, comprising: a suspension plate module, a synchronous support module, and a horizontal belt conveyor unit module. The top of the synchronous support module is connected to the horizontal belt conveyor unit module, and the bottom of the synchronous support module is connected to the suspension plate module.

[0006] The horizontal belt conveyor unit module includes a mounting plate, an electric rubber-coated roller, a sensor trigger plate, a cam and ratchet pawl module, a synchronous belt, a non-powered rubber-coated roller, a horizontal belt conveyor unit belt tension adjustment mechanism, and a horizontal belt conveyor unit.

[0007] The horizontal belt conveyor unit module includes a mounting plate and multiple sets of horizontal belt conveyor units. Each set of horizontal belt conveyor units has a belt tension adjustment mechanism fixed on both sides. The belts of the multiple sets of horizontal belt conveyor units are wound around a set of electrically operated rubber-coated rollers and a set of non-powered rubber-coated rollers. The non-powered rubber-coated rollers and the electrically operated rubber-coated rollers are connected by a synchronous belt. A cam and a ratchet pawl module are also fixed on one side of the electrically operated rubber-coated rollers. A sensor trigger plate is mounted on the cam and ratchet pawl module to locate the rotation position of the cam.

[0008] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines described in this utility model, the cam and ratchet pawl module includes a set of cams, a set of ratchet wheels, four pawls and corresponding springs. The cams are mounted on the outer shaft of the ratchet wheels, and the ratchet wheels and pawls are fixed to the rotating shaft of the electric rubber-coated roller.

[0009] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for the conveyor line described in this utility model, when the electric rubber-coated roller rotates, it drives the unpowered rubber-coated roller to rotate, and simultaneously drives the ratchet and the pawl to perform forward and reverse movements. When the ratchet and the pawl rotate in the opposite direction, they drive the cam to rotate, thereby lifting the horizontal belt conveyor unit module.

[0010] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine of the conveyor line described in this utility model, when the ratchet and pawl rotate in the forward direction, the cam remains stationary, and the horizontal belt conveyor unit rotates to continuously convey the items. When the items are conveyed, the ratchet and the pawl rotate in the reverse direction, driving the cam to reset and causing the horizontal belt conveyor unit module to descend.

[0011] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines described in this utility model, the suspension plate module includes a suspension plate, a miniature electromagnetic lock, a cam contact block, a synchronous connecting plate, a hexagonal steel shaft, a vertical bearing seat, and a hinge.

[0012] The synchronous support module is connected to the horizontal belt conveyor unit module through four sets of hinges, and is connected to two hexagonal steel shafts through the synchronous connecting plate for raising and lowering the horizontal belt conveyor unit module. The synchronous support module and the suspension plate module are connected by four sets of vertical bearing seats.

[0013] Furthermore, the single-drive reversing transfer machine for the conveyor line described in this utility model has two sets of miniature electromagnetic locks, one set of which is located on the left side of the synchronous connection plate, and the other set of which is located on the right side of the synchronous connection plate.

[0014] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for the conveyor line described in this utility model, two sets of miniature electromagnetic locks are fixed on the suspension plate module. When the synchronous connecting plate moves down or up, they pass through the lock holes on the synchronous connecting plate to fix the horizontal belt conveyor unit module.

[0015] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for the conveyor line described in this utility model, the cam contact block is also fixed on the suspension plate module. During operation, it contacts the cam and supports the horizontal belt conveyor unit module. A position detection proximity switch is fixed on it, which is used to provide feedback on the rotation position of the cam.

[0016] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines described in this utility model, the positioning detection proximity switch establishes a communication connection with a remote host computer, and the positioning detection proximity switch transmits the collected cam position change data to the remote host computer.

[0017] Furthermore, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines described in this utility model, the top contour of the synchronous support module matches the bottom contour of the horizontal belt conveyor unit module, and the bottom contour of the synchronous support module matches the top contour of the suspension plate module.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This invention addresses the shortcomings of traditional reversing transfer machines, such as the large number of mechanical drives, complex mechanical structures, and high design costs, by providing a single-drive reversing transfer machine without altering its functionality. It offers a new approach to improving the transfer machine structure and reducing design costs. Furthermore, this invention fixes a cam-ratchet-pawl combination module to one end of the electric roller as a lifting module. Utilizing the adjustable forward and reverse rotation and speed of the electric rubber-coated roller, along with the characteristics of the ratchet-pawl structure, the reverse rotation of the electric rubber-coated roller enables lifting of the device, while forward rotation enables continuous transport of items.

[0029] To better understand the purpose of this utility model, it will be described in further detail below.

[0030] This invention eliminates the drive motor component of the lifting horizontal belt conveyor unit module in the single-drive reversing transfer machine structure. The two sets of electrically operated rubber-coated rollers on the horizontal belt conveyor unit module are adjusted to one electrically operated rubber-coated roller and one unpowered roller, allowing the entire device to use only one electrically operated rubber-coated roller as its sole power source. Furthermore, to continue lifting the horizontal belt conveyor unit module, this invention also fixes a cam combined with a ratchet and pawl module to one end of the electrically operated rubber-coated roller, serving as the device's lifting module. Utilizing the advantages of the electrically operated rubber-coated roller's adjustable forward and reverse rotation and speed, as well as the characteristics of the ratchet and pawl structure, the reverse rotation of the electrically operated rubber-coated roller enables lifting of the device, while forward rotation enables continuous transport of items.

The non-powered rubber-coated rollers 307 and the electric rubber-coated rollers 302 are connected by a synchronous belt 306. A cam and ratchet pawl module 305 is also fixed on one side of the electric rubber-coated rollers 302.

[0039] Specifically, the single-drive reversing transfer machine for a conveyor line described in this utility model includes two sets of miniature electromagnetic locks 102.

Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The miniature electromagnetic lock 102 located on the left side of the synchronous connection plate 105 is in the raised position, and the miniature electromagnetic lock 102 located on the right side of the synchronous connection plate 105 is in the lowered position.

[0040] Specifically, the single-drive reversing transfer machine for conveyor lines described in this utility model has two sets of miniature electromagnetic locks 102 fixed on the suspension plate module 1. When the synchronous connecting plate 105 moves down or up, the locks pass through the locking holes on the synchronous connecting plate 105 to fix the horizontal belt conveyor unit module 3.

[0041] Specifically, in the single-drive reversing transfer machine of the conveyor line described in this utility model, the suspension plate module 1 is also fixed with the cam contact block 103, which contacts the cam and supports the horizontal belt conveyor unit module 3 during operation.

[0046] The cam and ratchet pawl module 305 includes a cam 3051, a ratchet 3052, a pawl 3054, and a spring 3053. The forward and reverse rotation of the ratchet pawl drives the cam 3051 to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the horizontal belt conveyor unit module 3 without the need for additional lifting drive components.

[0047] A miniature electromagnetic lock 102 and a synchronous connecting plate 105 are mounted on the suspension plate module 1. When the synchronous connecting plate 105 moves into position, the miniature electromagnetic lock 102 passes through the lock hole to fix the horizontal belt conveyor unit module 3, ensuring structural stability and reducing the need for additional fixing devices. The position detection proximity switch 104 on the suspension plate module 1 monitors the rotation position of the cam 3051 in real time and communicates with a remote host computer to realize remote monitoring and control of the equipment status, improving the level of intelligence and reducing labor costs.

[0048] The equipment is divided into a suspension plate module 1, a synchronous support module 2, and a horizontal belt conveyor unit module 3. This modular design makes assembly and maintenance more convenient, reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement parts.
