Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum shell processing technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning basket conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] For aluminum shells used in aluminum electrolytic capacitors (hereinafter referred to as aluminum shells), after processing and forming, their surfaces need to be cleaned. Typically, aluminum shells are placed in batches in cleaning baskets and then uniformly sent to the cleaning area for cleaning. However, traditional cleaning basket conveying devices often cannot achieve automated, cyclical operation of multiple cleaning baskets from the loading point to the cleaning area (where a robotic arm is typically installed to grab the cleaning baskets) and back to the loading point. The degree of automation in cleaning is generally low, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0003] Existing research on washing basket conveyor devices, such as patent application CN216510801U double-layer washing basket conveyor line, can achieve automated cyclical operation of multiple washing baskets from the loading position to the washing position and back to the loading position to a certain extent through the coordinated setting of upper and lower conveyor lines, first lifting mechanism and second lifting mechanism. However, the existing technology does not disclose how to achieve the transmission coordination between the inlet and outlet positions on the conveyor line and the washing position, so the overall practicality is generally limited. In addition, the existing technology cannot ensure the orderly discharge and unloading of multiple washing baskets after washing, so the improvement in conveying efficiency is still limited, and the overall operational safety and reliability are also generally limited.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a washing basket conveying device to solve the problems mentioned above. The prior art does not disclose how to achieve the transmission coordination between the inlet and outlet positions on the conveying line and the washing area, resulting in limited overall practicality. At the same time, the prior art cannot ensure the orderly discharge and unloading of multiple washing baskets after washing, which limits the improvement of washing efficiency and the overall operational safety and reliability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning basket conveying device includes two parallel conveyor lines and two liftable conveyor platforms located at both ends of the conveyor lines. The sides of the upper and lower conveyor lines are respectively provided with a cleaning discharge line and a cleaning feed line. Both ends of the upper conveyor line are equipped with a basket unloading and sorting mechanism. A corresponding basket discharge and sorting mechanism is located on the upper conveyor line opposite the cleaning discharge line. The conveyor lines are all fixed to a mounting frame. Multiple proximity switches for detecting the cleaning baskets are installed on the mounting frame near the two conveyor lines and on the conveyor platforms. These proximity switches are configured to cooperate with both the basket unloading and sorting mechanisms.

[0008] Furthermore, each conveyor line includes a roller conveyor belt I, two chain plate conveyor belts respectively located at both ends of the roller conveyor belt I, and a lifting chain conveyor belt installed inside the roller conveyor belt I. The conveying direction of the chain plate conveyor belt is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the roller conveyor belt I on the same conveyor line. The roller conveyor belt I of the upper conveyor line is located at the junction of the upper conveyor line and the washing discharge line, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the washing discharge line. The conveying direction of the lifting chain conveyor belt of the upper conveyor line is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the washing discharge line. The roller conveyor belt I of the lower conveyor line is located at the junction of the lower conveyor line and the washing feed line, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the washing feed line. The conveying direction of the lifting chain conveyor belt of the lower conveyor line is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the washing feed line.

[0009] Furthermore, the basket unloading and sorting mechanism includes a limit switch fixed on the mounting frame and positioned opposite the cleaning discharge line, which cooperates with the cleaning basket exiting the cleaning discharge line. The limit switch also cooperates with the lifting chain conveyor belt and roller conveyor belt I of the upper conveyor line. The basket unloading and sorting mechanism includes a telescopic interception assembly that cooperates with the cleaning basket exiting the upper conveyor line. The telescopic interception assembly includes a slider fixed to the top of the mounting frame, a guide rail that slides horizontally with the slider, a stop block fixed to the end of the guide rail, and a cylinder for driving the guide rail to extend and retract. The conveying platform includes a rack and pinion slide, a three-dimensional frame conveyor frame with a side-opening door, and a vertical guide seat located on the side of the conveyor frame. The bottom of the conveyor frame is fixed with a roller conveyor belt II that cooperates with it. The rack and pinion slide includes a gear slider and a rack track that meshes with it. The gear slider is fixed to the bottom of the conveyor frame near the vertical guide seat and a slide motor for driving it is installed on the top. The rack track is fixed on the vertical guide seat and is arranged along its length. A limiter that cooperates with the gear slider is also fixed on the vertical guide seat.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This utility model, based on the setting of two parallel conveyor lines, with two liftable conveyor platforms at each end of the conveyor lines, and the coordinated arrangement of a cleaning discharge line and a cleaning feed line on the sides of the upper and lower conveyor lines, forms a circulating line for the cyclical transport of cleaning baskets. The cleaning baskets are conveyed to the lower conveyor line via the conveyor platform, then enter the cleaning feed line. The cleaning feed line sequentially delivers the cleaning baskets to the cleaning area. Cleaned baskets return to the cleaning discharge line, then enter the upper conveyor line, and finally, the conveyor platform lowers the cleaning baskets down. Previously, the cleaning baskets could enter from both ends of the lower conveyor line. After cleaning, the cleaning baskets could discharge material from both ends of the upper conveyor line. This not only achieved the coordination between the material entry and exit points on the conveyor line and the cleaning area, effectively improving the overall practicality, but also avoided the waiting time for operators when feeding and retrieving the cleaning baskets, greatly improving cleaning efficiency. On this basis, this utility model, through the coordinated setting of the basket unloading and sorting mechanism at both ends of the upper conveyor line and the basket discharge and sorting mechanism at the position of the upper conveyor line directly opposite the cleaning discharge line, simultaneously realizes the sequential discharge and unloading of the cleaning baskets after cleaning, thereby effectively ensuring the orderliness of discharge and unloading, thus greatly improving the overall operational safety and reliability, and further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0012] 2. In this utility model, multiple proximity switches for detecting the cleaning baskets are installed on the mounting frame near the two conveyor lines and on the conveyor platform. These proximity switches are also configured to cooperate with the basket unloading and sorting mechanism and the basket discharge and sorting mechanism. The basket unloading and sorting mechanism includes a limit switch fixed to the mounting frame opposite the cleaning discharge line. The basket discharge and sorting mechanism includes a telescopic interceptor component that cooperates with the cleaning baskets exiting from the upper conveyor line. Based on this, this utility model utilizes the non-contact detection function of the proximity switches and the contact detection function of the limit switches. Through the coordinated operation of the proximity switches and limit switches, the proximity switches and the telescopic interceptor component, and the limit switches, the telescopic interceptor component, and the upper conveyor line, the sequential arrangement of the cleaning baskets during discharge and unloading is further ensured, thereby further improving overall operational safety and reliability and fully guaranteeing cleaning efficiency.

[0013] 3. The conveying platform in this utility model includes a rack and pinion slide, a three-dimensional frame conveying frame, and a vertical guide seat located on the side of the conveying frame. Through the coordinated arrangement of the rack and pinion slide and the vertical guide seat, this utility model significantly improves the stability of the conveying platform during lifting operations, thereby further ensuring the overall operational safety and reliability. Furthermore, the conveying frame is designed with a side-opening door, which not only ensures the safety of the cleaning basket inside the conveying frame but also facilitates the loading and unloading of the cleaning basket from the conveying frame, ultimately further enhancing the overall practicality.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4The diagram illustrates a washing basket conveyor device, including conveyor line I1, conveyor line II2, washing discharge line 3, and washing feed line 4. (In this embodiment, washing discharge line 3 and washing feed line 4 can be composed of several chain conveyor belts arranged in a straight line, and the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as chain conveyor belts are well known in the art, and the connection settings are also common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here. They are not shown in detail in the accompanying drawings, but this should not limit its functionality. For example, its basic structure, such as the conveyor motor and chain plates, is also included here.) (Not specifically described), mounting frame 20, and two liftable conveyor frames 13 (the basic structures such as control mechanisms on existing cleaning basket conveying devices are not specifically described here, but this should not limit their functionality). Conveyor lines I1 and II2 are both fixed to the mounting frame 20 (the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as mounting frames are well known in the art, and the connection settings are also common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here, but this should not limit their functionality). Conveyor line I1 is horizontally parallel to conveyor line II2 above it, and the cleaning discharge line 3... The cleaning feed line 4 is horizontally positioned on the side of conveyor line I1, while the cleaning feed line 4 is horizontally positioned on the side of conveyor line II2. Two conveyor frames 13 are respectively positioned at both ends of the mounting frame 2, and both conveyor frames 13 can be alternately aligned with conveyor lines I1 and II2 (basic equipment such as unpowered rollers used for transitions between different conveying devices are not specifically described here and are not shown in the attached drawings, but this should not limit their functionality). Multiple proximity switches are installed on the mounting frame 2 near conveyor lines I1 and II2, as well as on the conveyor frames 13 (the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as proximity switches are well known in the art, and the connection devices...). This is common knowledge, so it will not be explained in detail here, nor is it shown in the accompanying drawings. However, its functionality should not be limited. For example, in this embodiment, proximity switches can be distributed sequentially along the loading and unloading directions of the cleaning basket 21. Both ends of the mounting frame 20 are also fixed with telescopic interception components for blocking or releasing the cleaning basket 21 coming out of the upper conveyor line. Each telescopic interception component includes a slider 9, a guide rail 10, a stop block 11, and a cylinder 12. The slider 9 is fixed on the mounting frame 20.

[0021] Furthermore, all conveyor frames 13 are three-dimensional frame structures and all have side-opening doors (i.e., the side of the conveyor frame 13 facing the mounting frame 2 is without a fence, while the side of the conveyor frame 13 away from the mounting frame 2 has an openable fence). The bottom of each conveyor frame 13 is fixed with a matching roller conveyor belt II 19 (the functions and structures of conventional equipment such as roller conveyors are well-known in the art, and the connection settings are also common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here, nor are they shown in detail in the accompanying drawings, but this should not limit their functionality; for example, the basic structures such as the conveyor motor and rollers are not specifically described here).

As is common knowledge, the connection settings are also common common knowledge, so they will not be explained in detail here, nor are they shown in detail in the attached drawings (but this should not limit their functionality). Both conveyor lines I1 and II2 include a roller conveyor belt I5, two chain plate conveyor belts 6 respectively located at both ends of the roller conveyor belt I5 (each chain plate conveyor belt 6 is also composed of several chain plate conveyor belts arranged in a straight line in sequence), and a lifting chain conveyor belt 7 installed inside the roller conveyor belt I5 (the lifting chain conveyor belt is a small chain conveyor belt with a lifting mechanism that drives the chain conveyor belt to move up and down; the lifting mechanism can be pneumatic). (The cylinders, etc., are common knowledge, so they will not be explained in detail here.) The roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1 is located at the junction of conveyor line I1 and cleaning discharge line 3. The mounting frame 20 is fixed with a limit switch 8 for detecting the cleaning basket 21 coming out of the cleaning discharge line 3. The roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1 is set between the cleaning discharge line 3 and the limit switch 8. The limit switch 8 also cooperates with the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 and roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1. The roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line II2 is located at the junction of conveyor line II2 and cleaning discharge line 3.

[0022] Furthermore, the conveying direction of the chain conveyor belt 6 of conveyor line I1 is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1. The conveying direction of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the washing discharge line 3. The conveying direction of the washing discharge line 3 is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line I1. The conveying direction of the chain conveyor belt 6 of conveyor line II2 is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line II2. The conveying direction of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line II2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the washing feed line 4. The conveying direction of the washing feed line 4 is on the same straight line as the conveying direction of the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line II2.

[0023] The working principle and workflow of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] Feeding:

[0025] When the conveyor frame 13 is on the ground, the operator places the cleaning basket 21 into the conveyor frame 13. The roller conveyor belt II 19 at the bottom of the conveyor frame 13 then operates (the operation of each roller conveyor belt I 5, chain conveyor belt 6, lifting chain conveyor belt 7, and roller conveyor belt II 19 can be coordinated with the proximity switch used to detect the cleaning basket 21. The position of the proximity switch is set as needed, which is common knowledge and will not be explained in detail here), conveying the cleaning basket 21 onto the conveyor line II 2 (here, it can be conveyed in conjunction with a non-powered roller, that is, a non-powered roller is set on the conveyor line II 2 near the conveyor frame 13). The chain conveyor belt 6, roller conveyor belt I5, and lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line II2 work in sequence to collect and convey the cleaning baskets 21 to the cleaning feed line 4 (here, it can be conveyed by a non-powered roller, that is, a non-powered roller is set at the position of the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line II2 on the cleaning feed line 4. The chain conveyor belt of the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 can rise to the same height as the non-powered roller, or fall to a height lower than the roller of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line II2). The robot at the cleaning feed line 4 grabs the cleaning baskets 21 in sequence and puts them into the cleaning area of ​​the cleaning area.

[0026] Material preparation:

[0027] The cleaned cleaning baskets 21 are sequentially picked up by the robotic arm and placed onto the cleaning discharge line 3. The cleaning discharge line 3 then conveys the cleaning baskets 21 to the junction with the conveyor line I1, specifically onto the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of the conveyor line I1 (here, a non-powered roller can be used for conveying; that is, a non-powered roller is installed on the cleaning discharge line 3 near the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of the conveyor line I1, and the chain conveyor belt 7 rises to the same height as the non-powered roller to facilitate the conveying of the cleaning baskets 21). The cleaning baskets 21 are then conveyed to the position on the conveyor line I1 near the conveyor frame 13 (at this time, the conveyor frame 13 rises to align with the conveyor line I1 under the action of the gear and rack slide), and continue to be conveyed onto the conveyor frame 13, where the cleaning baskets 21 are lowered (at this time, the conveyor frame 13 descends to the ground under the action of the gear and rack slide).

[0028] During this process, as the cleaning basket 21 moves forward on the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line I1, it will collide with the contact of the limit switch 8. Once it collides with the contact of the limit switch 8, the limit switch 8 receives a contact signal, causing the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 to stop operating and lower its own chain conveyor belt to a height lower than the roller height of the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1, until the previous cleaning basket 21 leaves the proximity switch at a different position. Then, the roller conveyor belt I5 of conveyor line I1 resumes operation, and the cleaning basket 21 continues to move forward on conveyor line I1 (after the cleaning basket 21 leaves, the limit switch 8 resets, the chain conveyor belt 7 rises, and the next cleaning basket 21 continues to move forward on the lifting chain conveyor belt 7 of conveyor line I1, colliding with the contact of the limit switch 8 again); when the cleaning basket 21 is conveyed to When the cleaning basket 21 approaches the conveyor frame 13 on conveyor line I1, the stop block 11 will block the cleaning basket 21 until it is detected that there is no cleaning basket 21 in the conveyor frame 13 ahead (the detection is carried out by the proximity switch used to detect the cleaning basket 21). At this time, the cylinder 12 will drive the guide rail 10 in the slider 9 to move backward, which will also drive the stop block 11 to move backward to make way for the cleaning basket 21. At this time, the chain plate conveyor belt 6 under the cleaning basket 21 will start and convey the cleaning basket 21 to the conveyor frame 13 (here, it can be conveyed by a non-powered roller, that is, a non-powered roller is set on the conveyor line I1 near the conveyor frame 13). During the forward movement of the cleaning basket 21, it continues to detect whether there is a cleaning basket 21 ahead (after the cleaning basket 21 leaves, the cylinder 12 extends and drives the stop block 11 to reset, blocking the next cleaning basket 21).

[0029] In addition, before cleaning, the cleaning basket 21 can enter from both ends of the conveyor line II2, and after cleaning, the cleaning basket 21 can be diverted and fall from both ends of the conveyor line I1.
