Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle parts transmission technology, specifically a bicycle frame drying and conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] A bicycle frame drying and conveying device is a specialized piece of equipment used to directionally transfer bicycle frames after the painting process is completed.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent with publication number "CN211282823U" discloses "a bicycle frame conveying device". This application uses a clamping unit to clamp the bicycle frame according to its size, preventing it from easily falling off during transportation and thus increasing the applicability of the device. A cleaning unit removes foreign objects and dust from the surface of the bicycle frame, preventing damage to the surface of the bicycle frame.
[0004] However, in actual use, the aforementioned devices are prone to damage to the coating due to the presence of an incompletely cured liquid coating layer on the surface of the painted frame. Furthermore, residual coating can contaminate the conveyor belt working surface. Especially in the process of direct conveying after high-temperature drying, the thermal expansion effect of the rigid clamping mechanism can lead to uncontrolled clamping force and pose a risk of frame slippage. In addition, the aforementioned devices lack an automatic adaptation mechanism for different frame specifications. When switching product models, manual adjustment of the clamping distance is required, which seriously affects the production line cycle. Therefore, the applicant proposes a bicycle frame conveying device after drying. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying device for drying bicycle frames, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The bicycle frame drying and conveying device includes: a belt conveyor, in which the contact track inside the belt conveyor is provided with a transverse through-hole along the central axis direction. The through-hole is used to install and fix the limiting component. The through-hole is used to guide the flow of residual liquid paint on the surface of the bicycle frame, so as to avoid surface contamination of the belt conveyor during the incomplete curing stage of the paint. The limiting component acts on the bottom hub joint surface of the bicycle frame through a clamping mechanism to achieve the constraint and positioning of the overall spatial posture of the frame.
[0008] The limiting component includes:
[0009] The assembly dish has two ends of its bottom surface that are rigidly connected to both sides of the contact track surface. A sliding notch is formed inside the assembly dish. An electronic traction component is installed at the center point of the sliding notch on the bottom surface of the assembly dish. Connecting blocks that are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the assembly dish are installed at both ends of the electronic traction component. Contact plates for fitting to both sides of the bicycle frame are fixed on the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, triggering components are fixed on both sides of the center point of the inner cavity of the assembly dish. The triggering components control the opening and closing of the electronic traction component by whether or not they contact the bottom hub of the bicycle frame. Under the control of the opening and closing program, the electronic traction component performs a contraction action towards the center point of the inner cavity of the assembly dish and an extension action towards both ends of the inner cavity, respectively.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the electronic traction component is either a bidirectional electric telescopic rod or an electromagnet. When the electronic traction component is a bidirectional electric telescopic rod, the rods at both ends of the bidirectional electric telescopic rod are fixed to the bottom surface of the connecting block by a connecting rod that passes through the sliding notch.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, assembly boxes are fixed at both ends of the inner cavity of the assembly dish. A drive source for supplying power to the electronic traction component is provided inside the assembly box. A damping rod connected to the back of the contact plate is fixed at the top of the opposite sides of the two assembly boxes. The damping rod is used to provide a reverse buffering force when the contact plate is deflected by pressure.
[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a control panel is fixed to the surface of the belt conveyor, and the control panel is used to electrically connect with the belt conveyor and the electronic traction component.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the working surface of the contact plate facing the bicycle frame is provided with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer is integrally molded from silicone material and has equidistantly distributed hemispherical protrusions on its surface.
[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the control panel surface is provided with status indicator lights corresponding to each limiting component, and the indicator lights display the real-time working status of the electronic traction component through color changes.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This bicycle frame drying and conveying device effectively guides the flow of uncured coating through a directional flow design with a transverse through-hole in the contact track, preventing contamination of the conveyor surface. Simultaneously, the silicone anti-slip layer on the contact plate protects the coating while securely clamping the frame. Its limiting components utilize a trigger mechanism linked with an electronic traction component to achieve automatic clamping and adaptive size adjustment of the frame upon arrival. A damping rod further ensures positioning stability. The control panel integrates status indicator lights to monitor equipment operation in real time. The modular assembly structure improves maintenance efficiency. The overall device reduces energy consumption through an on-demand power supply mechanism, while also incorporating lightweight materials and a dirt-resistant design. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Before understanding the technical solution proposed in this application, it should be clear that the contact track 4 of the belt conveyor 1 is made of segmented ceramic matrix composite material, and an expansion gap is reserved between adjacent track sections. This gap and the transverse through-hole form a continuous flow channel. In actual operation, the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304 maintains its maximum extension in the initial state, so that the distance between the two contact plates 307 is greater than the maximum wheel track of the frame. When the frame wheel hub contacts the triggering component, i.e., the electric contact slot seat 305, the electronic traction component immediately enters the working state, and the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304 retracts until the silicone anti-slip layer of the contact plate 307 forms elastic contact with the frame riser.
[0024] Under high-temperature conditions, a temperature control relay can be installed in the assembly box 301 to automatically adjust the power supply parameters, so that the pushing and pulling force of the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304 is kept within a stable range. After clamping is completed, the frame moves with the contact track 4, and the residual paint falls into the collection tank placed below during actual use through the transverse through-hole.
[0025] It is worth noting that, reference Figures 1-3 As can be seen, the technical solution proposed in this application includes: a belt conveyor 1, wherein the contact track 4 inside the belt conveyor 1 is provided with a transverse through-hole along the central axis direction, the through-hole is used to install and fix the limiting component 3, the through-hole is provided to guide the flow of residual liquid paint on the surface of the bicycle frame, and avoids surface contamination of the belt conveyor 1 during the incomplete curing stage of the coating, and the limiting component 3 acts on the bottom hub joint surface of the bicycle frame through a clamping mechanism to achieve the constraint and positioning of the overall spatial posture of the frame.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, in this application, the limiting component 3 includes: an assembly plate 306, the two ends of the bottom surface of which are rigidly connected to the two sides of the surface of the contact track 4, a sliding notch 302 is formed inside the assembly plate 306, an electronic traction component is installed on the bottom surface of the assembly plate 306 at the center point of the sliding notch 302, and connecting blocks that are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the assembly plate 306 are respectively installed on the two ends of the electronic traction component, and contact plates 307 for fitting against the two sides of the bicycle frame are respectively fixed on the opposite surfaces of the two connecting blocks.
[0027] It should be noted that the design of the limiting component 3 in this application combines the electronic traction component with the sliding connection structure, achieving stable clamping and flexible adjustment of the bicycle frame. The electronic traction component precisely controls the sliding of the connecting block, thereby driving the contact plate 307 to fit against both sides of the frame. This process not only ensures the stability of the clamping, but also greatly improves the convenience and intelligence of the operation. In addition, the setting of the sliding notch 302 not only provides the necessary space for the sliding of the connecting block, but also effectively reduces the overall weight of the assembly dish 306, making the entire limiting component 3 lightweight. This preferred embodiment not only optimizes the stability of the bicycle frame during the transportation process, but also lays a solid foundation for the subsequent drying operation.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, triggering components are fixed on both sides of the center point of the inner cavity of the assembly dish 306. The triggering components control the opening and closing of the electronic traction component by whether or not they contact the bottom hub of the bicycle frame. Under the control of the opening and closing program, the electronic traction component performs a retraction action towards the center point of the inner cavity of the assembly dish 306 and an extension action towards both ends of the inner cavity, respectively.
[0029] It should be added that, in this embodiment, the electronic traction component is either a bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304 or an electromagnet. When the electronic traction component is a bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304, the rods at both ends of the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 304 are fixed to the bottom surface of the connecting block by a connecting rod 308 that passes through the sliding notch 302.
[0030] It should be noted that this embodiment ensures the stable transport of the bicycle frame during the drying process through the precise sensing of the triggering component. When the bottom hub of the bicycle frame contacts the triggering component, the triggering component immediately transmits a signal to the electronic traction component to initiate retraction, so that the bicycle frame can be stably pulled to the center position of the assembly dish 306 for drying. When the bicycle frame is dried and the bottom hub is separated from the triggering component, the electronic traction component receives a disconnection signal and then performs an extension action to smoothly transport the bicycle frame to the next process.
[0031] In this embodiment, as a preferred example, assembly boxes 301 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the inner cavity of the assembly dish 306. These assembly boxes 301 are designed to house a drive source that provides the necessary power supply to the electronic traction component. Furthermore, damping rods 303 are fixedly mounted on the upper parts of the corresponding sides of the two assembly boxes 301, with their tops connected to the back of the contact plate 307. The main function of the damping rods 303 is to provide a corresponding reverse buffering force when the contact plate 307 is displaced by an external force, ensuring that the contact plate 307 can stably return to its original position.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that in this application, a control panel 2 is fixed on the side of the belt conveyor 1. The control panel 2 is used to electrically connect with the belt conveyor 1 and the electronic traction component. The working surface of the contact plate 307 facing the bicycle frame body is provided with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer is integrally molded with silicone material and has equidistantly distributed hemispherical protrusions on the surface. The surface of the control panel 2 is provided with status indicator lights corresponding to each limit component 3. The indicator lights display the real-time working status of the electronic traction component through color changes.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
