[0065] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the centering mechanism includes a drive cylinder 20, a cylinder fixing bracket 21, a floating joint 22, a drive connecting block 23, a guide mechanism fixing plate 24, and a rack connecting block 25. The drive cylinder 20 is connected to the guide mechanism fixing plate 24 through two cylinder fixing brackets 21. The drive cylinder 20 is connected through the floating joint 22, and the other end is connected to the drive connecting block 23. The drive connecting block 23 and the rack connecting block 25 are connected by bolts.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the centering mechanism further includes a rack 26, a gear 27, a gear mounting plate 28, a deep groove ball bearing 30, a rotating shaft 31, and a pressure plate 32.

The two sliders 35 are connected to the slider mounting bracket 39 above to form a floating mechanism.

[0068] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial automation and pipe pile production, specifically involving the handling, transportation, and centering of cover molds. In the pipe pile production process, to improve production efficiency and avoid interference between cranes, a loop-shaped layout is often adopted, where the cover mold opening and closing are done in separate workshops. This layout requires cover mold transportation, and using simple transportation methods often results in costly situations. Therefore, a centering mechanism is essential during the transportation process.

[0069] This utility model provides a cover mold conveying system and a centering structure during the cover mold conveying process. The main problems it solves are: enabling the cover mold to be conveyed between adjacent workshops, and solving the problem of cover mold offset during the conveying process, thus ensuring that the cover mold remains centered on the roller during conveying.

[0070] In specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cover mold conveying mechanism provided in this solution consists of three parts: a cover mold 54, four cover mold placement racks 52 (or cover mold stop positions, depending on the actual situation), a power roller 53 for cover mold conveying, and a centering mechanism 51 for cover mold conveying to prevent the cover mold from deviating during the conveying process.

[0071] The core of this invention lies in the conveying of the cover mold, wherein the cover mold is centered and conveyed through a roller mechanism during the conveying process.

[0072] Figure 2 shows a detailed structural diagram of the roller conveyor, including a conveyor drive motor 1, four guide shafts 2, an integrated mechanism mounting frame 3, and a cylinder 4 as the mechanism drive component. Four ground angle adjustment plates 5 can be adjusted up and down and fix the entire mechanism. Four guide bushings 6 are used to limit the upper and lower positions of the guide shafts 2. The upper roller 9 is fixed to the mounting frame 7 by two bearing seats 8. The main function of a screw guide plate 10 is to ensure that the spring screws on the cover mold can pass flush and will not scratch the roller 9, thus extending its service life.

[0073] This component can move up and down to prevent strong impacts when placing the cover mold. In this case, after placement, this component is lifted into position before the cover mold is conveyed.

[0074] Figure 3 is a detailed structural diagram of the centering mechanism. The first part describes the drive part of the entire mechanism, including the drive cylinder 20, which is connected to the guide mechanism fixing plate 24 through two cylinder fixing brackets 21. The drive cylinder 20 is connected through the floating joint 22, and the other end is connected to the drive connecting block 23. The drive connecting block 23 is connected to the rack connecting block 25 by bolts, providing power to the entire guide wheel.

[0075] The drive unit is synchronously driven by gear 27 and rack 26 to ensure the movement of the two rollers, as shown in the following structure:

[0076] The rack connecting block 25 is connected to the rack 26 through a countersunk hole, mirroring the same structure on the opposite side. A gear 27 is bolted to the gear mounting plate 28. Two cam followers 29 ensure that the rack's movement is not subject to lateral forces. The subdivided mounting structure of the gear mounting plate 28 is shown in a sectional view. Two deep groove ball bearings 30 are fixed to the rotating shaft 31 inside the gear 27. A pressure plate 32 is bolted to the rotating shaft 31 to ensure that the gear does not move during operation.

[0077] The roller guide structure is further subdivided into two guide rollers 36, each internally assembled with two deep groove ball bearings 37, and connected to a shaft via a guide wheel 38. The entire guide mechanism is bolted to the guide mechanism fixing plate 24 via two slide rails 33 and matching sliders. Two rack connecting blocks 25 are bolted to the roller floating connecting plate 34. The tops of the two small sliders 35 are connected to the slider mounting bracket 39 to form a floating mechanism, reducing the impact during the conveying process. Each set of rollers is equipped with three springs 40 to adjust the sliding force.
