Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to a material discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent publication number CN216135106U discloses an automatic pig carcass pushing device for slaughtering equipment. This slaughtering equipment uses an automatic pushing device to move pig carcasses along hook tracks between horizontal workstations, improving production efficiency to some extent. However, in practical applications, due to the numerous steps in the decomposition of pig carcasses, a long hook track is required to achieve automated assembly line operation. Furthermore, the device lacks a corresponding discharge structure, making it impossible to achieve automated material discharge and thus hindering the automation of slaughtering operations.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent publication number CN214242405U discloses a track switching device, including: a base and a movable plate, the movable plate being slidably mounted on the base; a driving mechanism for driving the movable plate to slide, fixedly mounted on the base; and a movable track, including: a movable curved track and a movable straight track, both fixedly mounted on the movable plate. This utility model, by setting the movable curved track and the movable straight track, realizes the switching between straight and curved tracks, and has the advantages of reasonable structure and convenient and quick operation. The entire track switching device is small in size, with a short movable track, saving track material, and the track docking position is precise and stable, resulting in high stability when the circular shuttle moves. This track switching device, by setting the movable curved track and the movable straight track, realizes the switching between straight and curved tracks, and has the advantages of reasonable structure and convenient and quick operation.

[0004] However, in actual application, the aforementioned track switching device only serves to change the running track. The track it switches to does not have the ability to carry and move materials; it can only switch tracks. It cannot meet the need to carry materials for discharge. Furthermore, the number of tracks that can be switched depends on the number of tracks installed on the movable plate itself. When there are many track layers or a large number of tracks, the structure becomes complex, and the manufacturing, use, and maintenance costs are very high.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a device with a simple structure, small space occupation, and the ability to set a discharge station at any desired position on the conveyor rail, while allowing normal passage when discharge is not required, thus enabling rapid material discharge.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution;

[0008] A discharge device includes a conveyor rail and a transfer structure slidably mounted on the conveyor rail; a discharge station is set at any desired position on the conveyor rail, and the conveyor rail also includes a discharge section set at the discharge station, and a discharge track and discharge device are set at the discharge station.

[0009] During discharge, the transfer structure carries the material to the discharge section. The discharge device drives the discharge section to separate from the conveyor rail and then connects with the discharge rail. The discharge device then transports the transfer structure and the material to the discharge rail for discharge. After discharge, the discharge device drives the discharge section to reset, so that the discharge section connects with the conveyor rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the discharge device includes a material blocking mechanism for preventing the transfer structure from slipping, a discharge mechanism for driving the discharge section to move, and a material pushing drive mechanism for pushing the transfer structure into the discharge track.

[0011] When the transfer structure slides into the discharge section to discharge material, the blocking mechanism blocks the transfer structure to prevent it from slipping out of the discharge section; the discharge mechanism drives the discharge section equipped with the transfer structure to move, so that the discharge section is connected with the discharge track, and the pushing drive mechanism pushes the transfer structure in the discharge section into the discharge track; after discharge, the discharge drive mechanism drives the discharge section to move and reset, so that the discharge section is connected with the spiral track.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle is provided at the discharge section to cover the discharge section; the baffle mechanism includes a first driving mechanism and a baffle frame driven and connected to the first driving mechanism, and baffle parts are installed at both ends of the baffle frame; when baffle is applied, the transfer structure carries the material to the baffle in the discharge section, the first driving mechanism drives the baffle frame to move, and then the baffle frame drives the baffle parts to block at both ends of the baffle.

[0013] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism includes a discharge slide rail and a second drive mechanism. The second drive mechanism is connected to the discharge section at its execution end, and the discharge section is slidably disposed on the discharge slide rail. During discharge, the second drive mechanism drives the discharge section to move on the discharge slide rail.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveying rail includes a rail body, which is provided with a groove for sliding assembly of the transfer structure, and the transfer structure is slidably assembled in the groove; when no material is discharged, the discharge section is aligned with the rail body.

[0015] Furthermore, the transfer structure includes a transfer frame, with rolling wheels on both sides of the upper end of the transfer frame, guide rollers on both the front and rear sides of the transfer frame, and a transfer position at the lower end of the transfer frame;

[0016] When the transfer structure is assembled with the rail body, the rolling wheels on both sides of the transfer frame are slidably mounted on the rail body; the transfer frame passes through the slide groove, the guide rollers on both sides of the transfer frame are located in the slide groove, and the transfer position is located below the rail body.

[0017] Furthermore, both the discharge section and the discharge track are equipped with discharge troughs for sliding assembly and transfer structures.

[0018] Furthermore, the conveyor rail is a spirally ascending track.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This utility model allows for the setting of a discharge station at any desired location on the conveyor rail, facilitating the classification, sorting, and conveying of materials. When no material is being discharged, the transfer structure can pass through the discharge section normally. The discharge device separates and connects the discharge section between the conveyor rail and the discharge track, enabling flexible and rapid material discharge. Its simple structure reduces equipment complexity, lowers maintenance costs, and enables automated adaptation and batch processing on assembly lines. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, a discharge device includes a conveyor rail 2 and a transfer structure 3 slidably mounted on the conveyor rail 2; a discharge station is set at any desired position of the conveyor rail 2, and the conveyor rail 2 also includes a discharge section 24 set at the discharge station, and a discharge track 54 and a discharge device 5 are set at the discharge station.

[0027] During discharge, the transfer structure 3 carries the material to the discharge section 24. The discharge device 5 drives the discharge section 24 to separate from the conveying rail 2 and then connects with the discharge track 54. The discharge device 5 transports the transfer structure 3 and the material to the discharge track 54 for discharge. After discharge, the discharge device 5 drives the discharge section 24 to reset, so that the discharge section 24 connects with the conveying rail 2.

[0028] This discharge device has a discharge station set at any desired position on the conveying rail 2, which facilitates the on-demand conveying and discharge of materials. When discharge is not required, the transfer structure 3 can pass through the discharge section 24 normally. During discharge, the discharge device 5 is used to separate and connect the discharge section 24 between the spiral rail 2 and the discharge rail 54, thereby realizing the rapid discharge of materials.

[0029] This invention can be used for discharging various types of materials, enabling the output of materials at the required location to accurately sort and transport products to different areas.

[0030] This invention is applied to the conveying of meat products such as pig carcasses. A discharge station is set at any desired position on the conveyor rail 2 to facilitate on-demand discharge under multi-process operations of meat products. The discharge device 5 drives the discharge section 24 to realize the initial transfer of materials. Unlike the existing technology that only realizes track switching, it can be applied to the discharge operation of such meat products. It reduces the complexity of equipment, has low maintenance costs, and is conducive to realizing the automation and batch processing of meat products.

[0031] This discharge device 5 includes a material blocking mechanism 51 for preventing the transfer structure 3 from slipping, a discharge mechanism 52 for driving the discharge section 24 to move, and a material pushing drive mechanism 53 for pushing the transfer structure 3 into the discharge track 54.

[0032] When the transfer structure 3 slides into the discharge section 24 to discharge material, the blocking mechanism 51 blocks the transfer structure 3 to prevent it from slipping out of the discharge section 24; the discharge mechanism 52 drives the discharge section 24, which is equipped with the transfer structure 3, to move so that the discharge section 24 is connected to the discharge track 54; the pushing drive mechanism 53 pushes the transfer structure 3 in the discharge section 24 into the discharge track 54; after discharge, the discharge drive mechanism 52 drives the discharge section 24 to move and reset so that the discharge section 24 is connected to the spiral track 2.

[0033] Specifically, the discharge device 5 uses a material blocking mechanism 51, a discharge mechanism 52, and a pushing drive mechanism 53 working together to enable the transfer structure 3 to carry the material from the discharge section 24 to the discharge track 54 quickly. During the discharge process, the transfer structure 3 and the material are prevented from slipping. At the same time, it avoids the risks of large operating space, damage or contamination of meat products caused by directly handling the transfer structure 3 and / or the material discharge using a robotic arm. Its structure is simple, occupies little space, and discharges quickly and reliably. It is conducive to multiple points on the spiral track 2 and to the realization of automated operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, a baffle 25 for covering the discharge section 24 is provided at the discharge section 24; the baffle mechanism 51 includes a first driving mechanism 511 and a baffle frame 512 driven and connected to the first driving mechanism 511, and baffle parts 513 are installed at both ends of the baffle frame 512; when baffle is applied, the transfer structure 3 carries the material and moves it into the baffle 25 of the discharge section 24, the first driving mechanism 511 drives the baffle frame 512 to move, and then the baffle frame 512 drives the baffle parts 513 to block at both ends of the baffle 25.

[0035] Specifically, the baffle 25 has an open structure at the front and rear, which facilitates the passage of the transfer structure 3 when material discharge is not required. During material discharge, the baffle 25, in conjunction with the baffle part 513, blocks the transfer structure 3 on the discharge section 24 from four directions, further effectively preventing the transfer structure 3 from slipping and shaking significantly, thus facilitating a fast and stable material discharge operation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the discharge mechanism 52 includes a discharge slide rail 521 and a second drive mechanism 522. The second drive mechanism 522 drives the discharge section 24 to be connected to the discharge end. The discharge section 24 is slidably disposed on the discharge slide rail 521. During discharge, the second drive mechanism 522 drives the discharge section 24 to move on the discharge slide rail 521, so that one end of the discharge section 24 is connected to the discharge track 54, thereby achieving a fast and stable discharge operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 511, the second driving mechanism 52 and the pushing driving mechanism 53 can all be implemented using existing linear drive modules such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders and electric cylinders, so they will not be described in detail.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying rail 2 includes a rail body 22, and the rail body 22 is provided with a groove 23 for sliding assembly of the transfer structure 3. The transfer structure 3 is slidably assembled in the groove 23. When no material is being discharged, the discharge section 24 is aligned with the rail body 22. The groove 23 can assist the transfer structure 3 to slide smoothly and stably.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transfer structure 3 includes a transfer frame 31, with rolling wheels 32 on both sides of the upper end of the transfer frame 31, guide rollers 33 on both the front and rear sides of the transfer frame 31, and a transfer position 34 at the lower end of the transfer frame 31. When the transfer structure 3 is assembled with the rail body 22, the rolling wheels 32 on both sides of the transfer frame 31 are slidably mounted on the rail body 22. The transfer frame 31 passes through the slide groove 23, the guide rollers 33 on both sides of the transfer frame 31 are located in the slide groove 23, and the transfer position 34 is located below the rail body 22.

[0040] Specifically, the transfer position 34 can be configured as a hook structure, a hanging hole structure, or other transfer structure as needed. When the rolling wheel 32 slides on the rail 22, the guide rollers 33 at the front and rear of the slide groove 223 guide and position the transfer structure 3, so that the transfer structure 3 slides smoothly on the rail 22, while preventing the transfer structure 3 from shaking.

[0041] In this embodiment, both the discharge section 24 and the discharge track 54 are provided with discharge grooves 56 for sliding assembly of the transfer structure 3. During discharge, the discharge grooves 56 are aligned with the slide 23, which can assist the transfer structure 3 to slide smoothly and stably.

[0042] In this embodiment, the conveying rail 2 is a spiral-upward track; the discharge device 5 can be set in any direction within the 360-degree circumferential range of the spiral-upward conveying rail 2 to achieve flexible and rapid discharge, so that it can be arranged according to the site and needs, and has a wide range of applications and strong adaptability.

[0043] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the scope defined by the spirit of this utility model.
