It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0041] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0042] This embodiment provides a steering and conveying device, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a support 10, a platform 20, a telescopic mechanism 30, and a rotating mechanism 40. The support 10 is positioned at a support location; the platform 20 is located on the inner circumference of the support 10 and is used to support the workpiece; the telescopic mechanism 30 includes a telescopic member, a rotating frame 31, and a push plate 32. The telescopic rod 33 of the telescopic member passes through the rotating frame 31 and is connected to the push plate 32. The telescopic rod 33 can extend and retract radially along the platform 20 to push the workpiece to move; the rotating mechanism 40 includes a drive member 41 and a rotating assembly 42. The output end of the drive member 41 is connected to the bottom of the platform 20, and one end of the rotating assembly 42 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating frame 31, while the other end is connected to the output end of the drive member 41. The drive member 41 can drive the platform 20 and the telescopic mechanism 30 to rotate in the vertical direction.
[0043] In this device, the support 10 ensures overall stability. When the workpiece is conveyed onto the platform 20, the drive component 41 of the rotating mechanism 40 drives the platform 20 and the telescopic mechanism 30 to rotate to the target angle. During the rotation of the platform 20, the workpiece is also rotated to the target angle. Then, the telescopic component drives the push plate 32 to extend through the telescopic rod 33, thereby pushing the workpiece on the platform 20 onto the production line or conveyor belt. The entire device has a compact structure, with the telescopic mechanism 30 and the rotating mechanism 40 all integrated on the support 10, occupying little space. The rotating mechanism 40 can drive the workpiece to rotate to any angle, and the telescopic mechanism 30 can push the workpiece onto the production line at the rotated angle, resulting in high steering and conveying efficiency.
[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a detection mechanism 80 is also provided above the platform 20. The detection mechanism 80 includes a mounting frame 81 and a detector 82. The detector 82 is fixed to the mounting frame 81, and the detection port of the detector 82 faces the platform 20. It is used to detect the outer packaging of the workpiece (clearly and comprehensively detect whether the outer periphery of the workpiece is properly packaged, whether it is placed tangentially, and whether there is any damage to the packaging). When an abnormality is detected, the detector 82 can issue an alarm to notify the staff to handle the package. In addition, in this embodiment, the telescopic component can be any structure of a telescopic motor or a telescopic cylinder; the driving component 41 is a rotary motor.
[0045] To further explain, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the bottom of the support 10 is provided with multiple support legs 11, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the support 10. This arrangement allows the multiple support legs 11 to bear force evenly, avoiding breakage due to excessive local stress. In addition, multiple positioning holes 13 are provided at intervals along the circumference on the outer side of the support 10. The multiple positioning holes 13 can connect the support 10 to the conveying device, thereby improving the convenience of conveying workpieces and the stability during the conveying process.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a ring-shaped component 50 is also provided at the bottom of the platform 20. The ring-shaped component 50 is located on the inner circumference of the support 10. The driving component 41 is located in the central hole 51 of the ring-shaped component 50, and the rotating component 42 can be slidably connected to the ring-shaped component 50. In this structure, the connection between the ring-shaped component 50 and the support 10 ensures the stability of the ring-shaped component 50, and the central hole 51 can be used to install the driving component 41, thereby reducing the exposed volume and saving overall space. At the same time, the rotating component 42 can slide on the ring-shaped component 50 during rotation, which also ensures the smoothness of steering.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating assembly 42 also includes a rotating rod 421 and a sliding rod 422. The two ends of the rotating rod 421 are connected to the driving member 41 and the rotating frame 31, respectively. A slide rail 52 is circumferentially arranged on the annular member 50. One end of the sliding rod 422 is connected to the rotating rod 421, and the other end is slidably connected to the slide rail 52. In this structure, when the output end of the driving member 41 rotates, it can drive the rotating rod 421 and the sliding rod 422 to rotate together. The sliding rod 422 can slide along the slide rail 52, ensuring the smoothness of the entire rotation process. The slide rail 52 is located on the annular member 50, which ensures the stability of the rotation process.
[0048] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating assembly 42 includes multiple rotating rods 421, which are integrally formed at one end near the driving component 41. The multiple rotating rods 421 are arranged in a fan shape, and each rotating rod 421 is correspondingly connected to a sliding rod 422. The rotating rods 421 are connected to the rotating frame 31 and are used to drive the telescopic mechanism 30 to rotate. Therefore, the multiple rotating rods 421 can ensure structural strength and prevent the single rotating rod 421 from breaking due to excessive torque. Each rotating rod 421 is correspondingly connected to a sliding rod 422, and the sliding rod 422 is slidably connected in the slide rail 52, thus greatly improving the smoothness of the rotation process.
[0049] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, only one slide rail 52 is provided, and the distances of multiple slide rods 422 from the driving member 41 are the same, that is, the multiple slide rods 422 are concentric and can slide simultaneously within the same slide rail 52. This arrangement not only simplifies the structure of the annular member 50, requiring only one slide rail 52, but also has better aesthetics. In other embodiments, the positions of the multiple slide rods 422 can be adjusted according to actual needs. If the multiple slide rods 422 are not concentric, then a corresponding number of slide rails 52 need to be provided on the annular member 50.
[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the steering and conveying device also includes a limiting mechanism 60, which includes a rotating platform 61 and a limiting component 62. The rotating platform 61 is slidably connected between the support 10 and the platform 20. The limiting component 62 is disposed on the rotating platform 61 and located on the outer periphery of the platform 20. The rotating platform 61 is also connected to a rotating frame 31, which can drive the limiting mechanism 60 to rotate together. When the workpiece is conveyed to the platform 20 for steering, the limiting mechanism 60 can limit the workpiece from the outer periphery of the platform 20 to prevent the workpiece from being thrown off during the rotation, ensuring the safety of the operation. The rotating frame 31 can drive the rotating platform 61 to rotate together, and can also prevent the telescopic rod 33 from interfering with the limiting component 62, ensuring the feasibility of the operation.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, an inner ring 70 is provided between the platform 20 and the rotating platform 61. The top surfaces of the support 10, platform 20, rotating platform 61, and inner ring 70 are at the same height. A first semi-groove 71 is provided on the side of the inner ring 70 away from the platform 20, and a second semi-groove 12 is provided on the inner circumference of the support 10. The rotating platform 61 can slide within the first semi-groove 71 and the second semi-groove 12. In this structure, the first semi-groove 71 and the second semi-groove 12 together form a sliding groove, which allows the rotating platform 61 to slide within the sliding groove, ensuring stability and improving the smoothness of rotation. The fact that the top surfaces of the support 10, platform 20, rotating platform 61, and inner ring 70 are at the same height allows the workpiece to smoothly enter the platform 20 or be smoothly removed by the push plate 32, avoiding any protrusions that hinder the movement of the workpiece.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component 62 includes a limiting mesh 621 and a mounting rod 622. The rotating table 61 has multiple mounting holes 611 along its circumference. The mounting rod 622 can be installed within the mounting holes 611 and serves to support and position the limiting mesh 621. In this structure, the multiple mounting holes 611 along the outer circumference of the rotating table 61 improve the ease of fixing the mounting rod 622, thereby indirectly improving the ease of installing the limiting mesh 621. When disassembly is required, the mounting rod 622 can simply be pulled out of the mounting hole 611. Furthermore, the limiting mesh 621 has a certain degree of elasticity, effectively preventing wear and tear when the workpiece contacts the limiting mesh 621.
[0053] It is worth noting that the push plate 32 is made of a flexible material. Since the push plate 32 not only comes into direct contact with the workpiece but also needs to move the workpiece, using a flexible material can effectively prevent wear on the workpiece. In this embodiment, the push plate 32 is made of silicone. Silicone is common, inexpensive, and easy to process. In other embodiments, rubber can also be used instead of silicone.
[0054] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting components 62 and the push plate 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a conveying port 63 is formed between the limiting components 62 on both sides. The conveying port 63 is used to convey the workpiece. This structure can limit the workpiece from both sides of the push plate 32, which not only prevents the workpiece from falling during rotation, but also prevents the telescopic rod 33 from pushing the workpiece off the platform 20 when it extends or retracts, ensuring a good limiting effect. Moreover, the conveying port 63 formed between the two limiting components 62 can provide space for the conveying of the workpiece, ensuring the smoothness and speed of loading and unloading.
[0055] In addition, the push plate 32 is curved as a whole. This shape will not interfere with the limiting nets 621 on both sides, and can push all the workpieces on the platform 20 onto the production line or conveyor belt, ensuring good conveying effect.
[0056] The working process of the transfer and conveying device in this embodiment is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0057] First, fix this turning and conveying device at the preset station, and transfer the workpiece to the platform 20. Then, the detection mechanism 80 will check whether the outer packaging of the workpiece is damaged.
[0058] Secondly, when the workpiece is undamaged, the drive unit 41 drives the platform 20 and the telescopic mechanism 30 to rotate together, and the platform 20 can rotate the workpiece together to the target angle during the rotation. At this time, the conveyor port 63 also faces the target angle; the telescopic rod 33 extends and pushes the workpiece from the conveyor port 63 onto the conveyor belt.
[0059] Finally, when the outer packaging of the workpiece is damaged, the testing mechanism 80 will sound an alarm to remind the staff to handle the situation.
[0060] In summary, the steering and conveying device in this embodiment can not only rotate at multiple angles and push materials onto the production line at a specific angle, but also has a simple and compact overall structure, occupies a small area, and has high steering and conveying efficiency.
[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
