Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, specifically a tracked conveyor mechanism that can clamp and convey toy packaging boxes of different sizes. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing of toy packaging boxes, a conveyor mechanism is required. Because the boxes have smooth surfaces and are lightweight, they cannot be moved synchronously using static friction with conventional conveyor structures like tracks. Therefore, positioning structures are needed on the tracks to clamp and block the boxes, thus achieving synchronous movement and conveying. However, conventional track conveyor mechanisms have multiple positioning structures spaced apart. When conveying toy packaging boxes of different sizes, directly removing and adjusting these structures is cumbersome and complex. Alternatively, using other types of conveyor mechanisms increases equipment costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that existing conveying mechanisms cannot easily adjust the spacing of their positioning structures and therefore cannot adapt to the clamping and conveying requirements of toy packaging boxes of different sizes, and to provide a tracked conveying mechanism that can clamp and convey toy packaging boxes of different sizes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a tracked conveyor mechanism capable of clamping and conveying toy packaging boxes of different sizes, comprising:

[0005] The mechanism's support frame extends to support the platform on its sides;

[0006] Several conveyor belts are arranged side by side on the support platform. Several packaging box supports in the same direction are arranged at intervals on the outer side of the conveyor belts. At least one of the packaging box supports on the conveyor belts faces the material receiving direction and at least one of the packaging box supports on the conveyor belts faces the material feeding direction. The packaging box is clamped and positioned by the packaging box supports on both sides.

[0007] The drive mechanism includes a drive roller shaft and a tension roller shaft rotatably connected to both ends of the support platform via rotating shafts. A rotary drive device for driving the drive roller shaft is provided on the mechanism bracket. A linear drive device on the support platform drives the tension roller shaft to move, thereby tensioning the conveyor belt. Several sets of toothed rib structures are axially and equidistantly arranged on both the drive roller shaft and the tension roller shaft. The toothed rib structures and the support platform abut against the inner side of the conveyor belt.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The toothed structure includes a first tooth and a second tooth positioned on the surface of the drive roller shaft and the tension roller shaft. A plurality of first teeth are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the drive roller shaft or the tension roller shaft, and their outer ends are pointed. The second teeth are arranged in the middle of adjacent first teeth. The outer side of the first teeth abuts against the hinge side edge of the track unit on the conveyor belt, and the outer side of the second teeth abuts against the end face of the track unit.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] Each track unit on the several conveyor tracks corresponds one-to-one with the packaging box in the conveying direction, and the packaging box support end on the conveyor track extends laterally and abuts against the adjacent conveyor track.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A first side plate is provided at one end of the support platform, and the shaft of the drive roller is rotatably connected to the first side plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The first side plate is detachably assembled onto the support platform by bolts.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The other end of the support platform is provided with a second side plate, and the second side plate is provided with an adjustment hole. The shaft of the tension roller is rotatably slidably disposed in the adjustment hole. The output shaft of the linear drive device is connected to a U-shaped tension adjustment frame. A support plate is provided on the tension adjustment frame, and a collar at the end of the support plate is fitted onto the shaft of the tension roller.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The second side plate is detachably mounted on the support platform by bolts, and the support plate is detachably mounted on the tension adjustment frame by bolts.

[0020] In summary, by adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0021] This utility model's tracked conveyor mechanism features two positioning frames on different sides of the track, allowing for adjustment of the spacing between the positioning frames by adjusting the track position. This enables the clamping of packaging boxes of different sizes, ensuring conveying stability.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tracked conveyor mechanism capable of clamping and conveying toy packaging boxes of different sizes, comprising:

[0033] The mechanism support 1 extends to support the platform 2 on its side;

[0034] Several conveyor belts 3 are arranged side by side on the support platform 2. Several packaging box supports 4 in the same direction are arranged at intervals on the outer side of the conveyor belts 3. At least one packaging box support 4 on the conveyor belt 3 faces the material receiving direction and at least one packaging box support 4 on the conveyor belt 3 faces the material feeding direction. The packaging box 100 is clamped and positioned by the packaging box supports 4 on both sides.

[0035] The drive mechanism includes a drive roller shaft 5 and a tension roller shaft 7, which are rotatably connected to both ends of the support platform 2 via a rotating shaft 6. A rotary drive device for driving the drive roller shaft 5 is mounted on the mechanism bracket 1. A linear drive device 8 on the support platform 2 drives the tension roller shaft 7 to move, thereby tensioning the conveyor belt 3. Both the drive roller shaft 5 and the tension roller shaft 7 are axially and equidistantly arranged with several sets of toothed rib structures. The toothed rib structures and the support platform 2 abut against the inner side of the conveyor belt 3. The rotary drive device can be a motor or other conventional rotary drive equipment or mechanism, and the linear drive device 8 can be an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or other conventional linear drive equipment or mechanism.

[0036] The toothed structure includes first toothed ribs 9 and second toothed ribs 10 positioned on the surfaces of the drive roller shaft 5 and tension roller shaft 7. A plurality of first toothed ribs 9 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the drive roller shaft 5 or tension roller shaft 7, with pointed outer ends. The second toothed ribs 10 are positioned between adjacent first toothed ribs 9. The outer sides of the first toothed ribs 9 abut against the hinged edge of the track unit on the conveyor belt 3, and the outer sides of the second toothed ribs 10 abut against the end face of the track unit. The two toothed ribs ensure sufficient contact and tension with the track unit at the bend of the conveyor belt 3, guaranteeing the stability and efficiency of the roller shaft-driven track operation.

[0037] Each track unit on the several conveyor tracks 3 corresponds one-to-one with the packaging box 100 in the conveying direction. The packaging box support 4 on the conveyor track 3 extends laterally and abuts against the adjacent conveyor track 3. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, two conveyor belts 3 are used. When the two conveyor belts 3 are assembled on the roller shaft, the packaging box brackets 4 on them are opposite each other, which can achieve stable clamping of the packaging box 100.

[0038] One end of the support platform 2 is provided with a first side plate 11, and the rotating shaft 6 of the drive roller 5 is rotatably connected to the first side plate 11. The other end of the support platform 2 is provided with a second side plate 12, and the second side plate 12 is provided with an adjustment hole 13. The rotating shaft 6 of the tension roller 7 is rotatably slidably disposed in the adjustment hole 13. The output shaft of the linear drive device 8 is connected to a U-shaped tension adjustment frame, and a support plate 14 is provided on the tension adjustment frame. The collar 15 at the end of the support plate 14 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 6 of the tension roller 7. When the linear drive device 8 is running, the rotating shaft 6 can be pushed by the support plate 14 and the collar 15, so that it slides along the adjustment hole 13, thereby realizing the movement of the tension roller 7 and adjusting the tension and slack state of the conveyor belt 3.

[0039] The first side plate 11 is detachably mounted on the support platform 2 by bolts. After removing the bolts, the first side plate 11 can be removed along the axial direction of the drive roller shaft 5 for replacement. The second side plate 12 is detachably mounted on the support platform 2 by bolts, and the support plate 14 is detachably mounted on the tension adjustment frame by bolts. After removing the bolts, the second side plate 12 can be detached from the tension roller shaft 7, and the support plate 14 can be removed from the tension adjustment frame (in the U-shaped structure, the side plate and the bottom plate are joined and fixed by screws, which will not be described in detail here), and the tension roller shaft 7 can be removed. This tracked conveyor mechanism uses two positioning frames for clamping on different tracks, so that adjusting the track position can adjust the distance between the two positioning frames, that is, to clamp packaging boxes of different sizes to ensure conveying stability. The detachable design of the roller shaft is mainly used for changing the roller shaft, track, and positioning frames on it to improve the adaptability to clamping packaging boxes of different sizes.

[0040] The working principle of a tracked conveyor mechanism capable of clamping and conveying toy packaging boxes of different sizes in this embodiment includes: In use, based on the size of the packaging box 100, a portion of the conveyor track 3 (for example, the packaging box support 4 on it facing the material inlet direction) is first positioned, and then the positions of the remaining conveyor track 3 (the packaging box support 4 on it facing the material inlet direction) are adjusted to adjust the spacing between the relative packaging box supports 4 to fit the corresponding packaging box 100. Then, the conveyor track 3 is fitted onto the drive roller shaft 5 and the tension roller shaft 7, so that its inner side abuts against the corresponding toothed rib. After that, the tension roller shaft 7 can be driven to move by the linear drive device 8 to achieve the tension of the track. The packaging box 100 is placed between the relative packaging box supports 4 to complete the clamping and stable conveying. Several parallel limiting ribs can be set on the support platform 2 to limit the two sides of the track, thereby ensuring the straightness and stability of the track operation. Since the adjustment of the spacing of the packaging box support 4 relies on the track unit abutting against different toothed ribs, a single set of track and roller can transport packaging boxes 100 with a certain size difference (this difference is related to the width of the track unit and the spacing of adjacent first toothed ribs 9). By changing different rollers and corresponding tracks, more sizes of packaging boxes 100 can be clamped and transported.

[0041] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the tracked conveyor mechanism of this embodiment, which can clamp and convey toy packaging boxes of different sizes, has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0042] This utility model's tracked conveyor mechanism features two positioning frames on different sides of the track, allowing for adjustment of the spacing between the positioning frames by adjusting the track position. This enables the clamping of packaging boxes of different sizes, ensuring conveying stability. The first and second toothed ribs ensure sufficient contact and tension with the track units at the bends of the conveyor track, guaranteeing the stability and efficiency of the roller-driven track operation.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
