Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal container processing technology, and specifically relates to a sheet lubrication and conveying device for metal containers. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, metal containers are widely used in many industries, and most of these metal containers are made by stamping disc-shaped sheets. In the stamping production process, there is a crucial step that cannot be ignored: applying lubricant to the surface of the disc.
[0003] The application of lubricant to the disc surface during stamping is based on several considerations. Firstly, after stamping, the lubricated container can be removed more smoothly from the die. Without lubricant, excessive friction could cause the container and die to stick together, making removal difficult and potentially damaging the container or die. Secondly, the lubricant plays a crucial role in the stamping process itself. It effectively reduces friction between the disc and the die, lowers resistance during stamping, and makes the stamping action smoother and more stable, thereby improving stamping efficiency and quality.
[0004] However, in actual production, the application of lubricant is mostly done manually. The specific operation involves using a conveyor belt to transport a disc. When the disc reaches the middle of the conveyor belt, workers manually apply lubricant. After application, the conveyor belt continues to move the disc to the next process step, until a suction cup device transports the coated disc to the stamping machine. However, this manual application method has many drawbacks. It not only consumes a significant amount of time and energy, leading to low production efficiency, but also, due to the limitations of manual operation, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of lubricant application on the disc surface, thus affecting the stamping quality and negatively impacting production. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheet lubrication and conveying device for metal containers, which solves the problems existing in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A sheet lubrication conveying device for metal containers includes two crossbeams. A feeding mechanism is provided between the left sides of the two crossbeams. First transmission rollers are provided on both the left and right sides of the middle of the two crossbeams. A first transmission belt is sleeved between the two first transmission rollers. One of the first transmission rollers is equipped with a first motor, which drives the first transmission roller to rotate away from the feeding mechanism. Support blocks are provided on the upper side of the middle of the two crossbeams. A coating roller is rotatably mounted between the two support blocks. A liquid discharge mechanism is provided on the upper side of the coating roller.
[0008] The liquid discharge mechanism includes a storage frame with a storage tank on the upper side. The bottom of the storage tank has inclined surfaces on both the left and right sides. The two inclined surfaces can guide the lubricant to the center of the storage tank. The center of the storage tank has several through holes pointing to the coating roller. The storage frame is equipped with a liquid supply component.
[0009] The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid supply pipe, which is equipped with a pump body. One end of the liquid supply pipe is connected to a liquid storage tank, which contains lubricating fluid. The other end of the liquid supply pipe points from the top towards the storage tank.
[0010] Several connecting rods are provided on the lower side between the two crossbars, and a collection frame is assembled between the connecting rods. The collection frame is located on the lower side of the first conveyor belt. A circulation pipe is assembled at the bottom of the collection frame, and a filter is assembled at the other end of the circulation pipe. The output end of the filter points into the liquid storage tank.
[0011] Two second transmission rollers are provided between the two crossbeams, and a second transmission belt is sleeved between the two second transmission rollers. The second transmission belt is located on the side of the first transmission belt away from the feeding mechanism. One of the second transmission rollers is equipped with a second motor, which can drive the second transmission roller to rotate away from the first transmission belt. There is a gap between the second transmission belt and the first transmission belt. One side of the collection frame is located under the second transmission belt.
[0012] The feeding mechanism includes two feeding rods rotatably mounted between two crossbeams. Both the front and rear sides of the two feeding rods are provided with transmission wheels, and a transmission strip is provided between the two transmission wheels on the front and rear sides. One of the feeding rods is equipped with a third motor, which can drive the feeding rod to rotate towards the transmission belt.
[0013] The coating roller can be adjusted vertically relative to the two support blocks.
[0014] This utility model has the following technical advantages compared with the prior art:
[0015] This equipment automates the process of applying lubricant to discs. From the feeding mechanism transferring the discs to the first conveyor belt, to the first conveyor belt carrying the discs past the coating rollers for lubricant application, and then to the subsequent second conveyor belt handling excess lubricant from the discs, the entire process eliminates the need for manual application of lubricant to each disc individually.
[0016] The equipment is specifically designed to ensure the uniformity and comprehensiveness of lubricant application. The coating roller, made of compressible sponge material, rotates continuously and stably under the drive of the first conveyor belt. A dispensing mechanism continuously supplies lubricant to the coating roller, ensuring even coating on its surface. The disc, transported by the first conveyor belt, passes under the coating roller, making full contact for comprehensive application. Furthermore, the lubricant flows onto the first conveyor belt, further guaranteeing omnidirectional contact between the disc and the lubricant, avoiding the uneven application problems that can occur with manual application.
[0017] The equipment design fully considers motor protection. The first motor is mounted on the outside of the crossbeam, isolated from the area where the lubricant is stored. During equipment operation, the lubricant mainly concentrates in the storage frame, paint roller, and first conveyor belt, and will not come into contact with the first motor. This design effectively avoids damage to the motor, such as corrosion and short circuits, caused by the lubricant, thus extending the motor's service life.
[0018] The equipment features a comprehensive lubricant collection and recycling system. A collection frame, located beneath the first and second conveyor belts, collects lubricant flowing from the conveyor belts and dripping from the disc surface. The collected lubricant is then transported through a circulation pipe to a filter for filtration, removing impurities and contaminants before flowing back to the storage tank for reuse. This recycling design not only reduces lubricant waste and lowers production costs but also meets environmental protection requirements, minimizing pollution from waste lubricant.
[0019] The equipment effectively controls the amount of lubricant adhering to the disc surface through a clever design of the second conveyor belt and the gap between them. When the lubricated disc is transported from the first conveyor belt to the second, it needs to pass through the gap between them. During this process, excess lubricant adhering to the disc surface flows downwards under gravity and enters the collection box. This ensures that there is enough lubricant on the disc surface to meet subsequent processing needs, while preventing excessive lubricant from being carried into the stamping equipment, thus preventing damage to the equipment. It also maintains a clean processing environment and reduces cleaning work caused by excessive lubricant. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes two horizontal frames 1, a feeding mechanism is provided between the left sides of the two horizontal frames 1, and first transmission rollers 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the middle of the two horizontal frames 1. A first transmission belt 12 is sleeved between the two first transmission rollers 11. One of the first transmission rollers 11 is equipped with a first motor 13, which drives the first transmission roller 11 to rotate away from the feeding mechanism. Support blocks 14 are provided on the upper side of the middle of the two horizontal frames 1. A paint roller 15 is rotatably mounted between the two support blocks 14. A liquid discharge mechanism is provided on the upper side of the paint roller 15.
[0031] The operator can place the disc to be processed in the feeding mechanism, which can transport the disc to one side of the first conveyor belt 12. The first motor 13 can drive one of the first conveyor rollers 11 to rotate away from the feeding mechanism. The first conveyor belt 12 is sleeved between the two first conveyor rollers 11. Due to the rotation of the first conveyor roller 11, the first conveyor belt 12 can be driven to start rotating, and the other first conveyor roller 11 moves accordingly. The two support blocks 14 support the paint roller 15 to ensure that the paint roller 15 is located on the upper side of the first conveyor belt 12 and can contact the disc. The outer surface of the paint roller 15 is a compressible sponge material. Therefore, after the paint roller 15 contacts the first conveyor belt 12, the rotation of the first conveyor belt 12 will drive the paint roller 15 to rotate.
[0032] Therefore, after the disc is transported onto the first conveyor belt 12, it moves toward the paint roller 15. The disc can pass under the paint roller 15, and a liquid dispensing mechanism continuously supplies lubricant to the paint roller 15, so that the lubricant comes into contact with the paint roller 15. Therefore, during the transport of the disc, the lubricant is applied when it comes into contact with the paint roller 15, and some lubricant flows onto the first conveyor belt 12, so the disc also comes into full contact with the lubricant until the disc moves past the paint roller 15. When the disc moves to the right end of the first conveyor belt 12, the operator can use a suction cup device to attach the suction cup to the stamping equipment. This completes the overall lubricant application work on the disc. This design can reduce the burden on the operator, improve work efficiency, and ensure that the lubricant is applied evenly to the entire disc.
[0033] The first motor 13 is installed on the outside of the cross frame 1. The lubricant will not come into contact with the first motor 13, so it will not cause damage to the first motor 13. In other embodiments, the paint roller 15 can also be set to be detachable, so that the workers can replace the paint roller 15.
[0034] The liquid discharge mechanism includes a storage frame 2, a storage tank 21 on the upper side of the storage frame 2, and inclined surfaces 22 on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the storage tank 21. The two inclined surfaces 22 can guide the lubricant to the middle of the storage tank 21. The middle of the storage tank 21 is provided with several through holes 221 pointing to the coating roller 15. The storage frame 2 is equipped with a liquid supply component.
[0035] The storage tank 21 in the storage frame 2 is used by the staff to store lubricant. The liquid supply component is used to continuously inject lubricant into the storage tank 21. After the storage tank 21 contains lubricant, it will flow downward through several through holes 221. Since the paint roller 15 is located below several through holes 221, the lubricant will flow through the through holes 221 to the outer surface of the paint roller 15. In this way, lubricant can be delivered to the paint roller 15, which is convenient for painting the disc. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used to evenly spray the lubricant onto the outer surface of the paint roller 15.
[0036] The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid supply pipe 23, which is equipped with a pump body 24. One end of the liquid supply pipe 23 is connected to a liquid storage tank 25, which contains lubricating fluid. The other end of the liquid supply pipe 23 points from the top to the storage tank 21.
[0037] The storage tank 25 is used by the staff to store lubricating fluid. The storage tank 25 can be installed at a designated position below the crossbeam 1 according to the needs of the site environment, as long as it can deliver lubricating fluid to the supply pipe 23 normally. When the staff supplies power to the pump body 24, the pump body 24 starts to work and delivers the lubricating fluid in the storage tank 25 to the supply pipe 23. Since the other end of the supply pipe 23 points from the top to the storage tank 21, the lubricating fluid in the storage tank 25 is transported to the storage tank 21 through the supply pipe 23. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used to deliver the lubricating fluid in the storage tank 25 to the storage tank 21.
[0038] Several connecting rods 3 are provided on the lower side between the two crossbars 1. A collection frame 31 is assembled between the several connecting rods 3. The collection frame 31 is located on the lower side of the first conveyor belt 12. A circulation pipe 32 is assembled at the bottom of the collection frame 31. A filter 33 is assembled at the other end of the circulation pipe 32. The output end of the filter 33 points into the liquid storage tank 25.
[0039] Several connecting rods 3 support the collection frame 31, ensuring that the collection frame 31 is located under the first conveyor belt 12. This design can collect the lubricating fluid flowing on the first conveyor belt 12. The collected lubricating fluid is transported to the filter 33 through the circulation pipe 32. The filter 33 filters the returned lubricating fluid and then the lubricating fluid flows back into the storage tank 25. This design can recycle the lubricating fluid and reduce cost.
[0040] Two second transmission rollers 34 are provided between the two crossbeams 1, and a second transmission belt 35 is sleeved between the two second transmission rollers 34. The second transmission belt 35 is located on the side of the first transmission belt 12 away from the feeding mechanism. One of the second transmission rollers 34 is equipped with a second motor 36, which can drive the second transmission roller 34 to rotate away from the first transmission belt 12. A gap 37 is provided between the second transmission belt 35 and the first transmission belt 12. One side of the collection frame 31 is located under the second transmission belt 35.
[0041] The second motor 36 drives one of the second transmission rollers 34 to rotate. Since the second transmission belt 35 is fitted on the outer surface of the two second transmission rollers 34, the rotation of one second transmission roller 34 will drive the second transmission belt 35 to rotate, and the other second transmission roller 34 will follow suit. Therefore, the disc after applying lubricant is transported to the second transmission belt 35 under the transport action of the first transmission belt. The second transmission belt 35 follows the rotation of the first transmission belt 12 and passes through the gap 37. The function of passing through the gap 37 is to allow excess lubricant on the surface of the disc to flow downward into the collection frame 31. This can prevent the disc surface from having too much lubricant and being carried into the stamping equipment. When the disc is on the second transmission belt 35, the second transmission belt 35 stops rotating until the operator removes the disc using a suction cup device. This design can prevent the disc surface from having too much lubricant, save lubricant, and also prevent the lubricant from damaging the surrounding processing environment.
[0042] The feeding mechanism includes two feeding rods 4 rotatably mounted between two crossbeams 1. Both the front and rear sides of the two feeding rods 4 are provided with transmission wheels 41, and a transmission strip 42 is provided between the two transmission wheels 41 on the front and rear sides. One of the feeding rods 4 is equipped with a third motor 43, which can drive the feeding rod 4 to rotate towards the side of the transmission belt 12.
[0043] The third motor 43 can drive one of the feeding rods 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 41 to rotate. Since there are transmission bars 42 between the two transmission wheels 41 on the front and rear sides, the rotation of one of the feeding rods 4 will drive the two transmission bars 42 to rotate. The two second transmission bars 42 rotate towards the first transmission belt 12. The operator can place the disc on the two transmission bars 42. During the rotation of the two transmission bars 42, the disc can be transported to the top of the first transmission belt 12. The design of the two transmission bars 42 makes the bottom of the disc hollow, which makes it easy for the operator to use weighing equipment to weigh the disc and prevent multiple discs from being overlapped for processing.
[0044] The paint roller 15 can be adjusted vertically relative to the two support blocks 14. This design makes it easy for operators to adjust the height of the paint roller 15 as needed.
[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
