Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated conveying production technology, and in particular to an automated chain conveyor that can prevent goods from tilting. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing prevalence of automated production lines, the use of automated conveying equipment is also gradually increasing. In the production of polysilicon, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) and chain conveyors are the most common applications, especially in production lines where chain conveyors are the most widely used. A chain conveyor is a conveying device that uses a chain as the traction element and chain plates as the load-bearing element.
[0003] Regarding the above and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: When the stacker crane places palletized materials on the conveyor chain, due to the insufficient height and width of the outer side guard, the materials are often placed crookedly. As a result, when the pallet is placed on the side guard, some crooked goods cannot even pass through the conveyor chain normally and fall off. Furthermore, when the goods are placed crookedly, the container may hit the photoelectric sensor, causing damage to the photoelectric sensor, which greatly increases the workload and operational risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that goods will become skewed when placed on the chain conveyor. To this end, we propose an automated chain conveyor that can prevent goods from becoming skewed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: an automated chain conveyor that can prevent cargo from tilting, comprising: a conveyor chain, and a correction component disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor chain for preventing cargo from tilting.
[0006] The correction assembly includes side baffles that are fixed to both sides of the conveyor chain plate by bolts, and horn sections set at the inlet and outlet of each set of side baffles. The angle of each set of horn sections is 20°-25° and the length is 7cm. The upper part of each set of side baffles adopts a slope structure with a slope of 60°-70° after a height of 4cm, and its top width is 4.5cm and its height is 6cm. The outer surface of each set of side baffles is provided with reinforcing ribs at intervals to support the upper and lower steel plates.
[0007] Preferably, each set of side baffles is a component made of carbon steel with a thickness of 0.5 cm, and the total length of each set of side baffles is 120 cm-125 cm, the total height is 10 cm, and the total width is 8 cm.
[0008] Preferably, there are five sets of reinforcing ribs, and each set of reinforcing ribs is a component made of carbon steel with a thickness of 0.5 cm.
[0009] Preferably, the bolt has a diameter of 8mm, a length of 5cm-10cm, and a fixing hole spacing of 35cm-42cm.
[0010] Preferably, a buffer assembly is provided on one side of each of the two sets of side baffles. The buffer assembly includes a bracket disposed inside the two sets of side baffles and a correction roller rotatably connected inside each set of brackets. The axis of the correction roller is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chain plate.
[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of each set of the correction rollers is fitted with a rubber sleeve.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, the user installs two sets of side baffles on the upper surface of the conveyor chain plate using bolts. The two sets of side baffles prevent goods from hitting the photoelectric sensor due to tilting, thus avoiding damage to the photoelectric sensor. At the same time, because the side baffles have flared sections at their inlet and outlet, they can guide tilted goods into the conveying area. In addition, the ramp structure on the upper part of each set of side baffles can expand the entry range, reducing the initial placement accuracy requirements of the stacker crane when placing goods, increasing the fault tolerance rate, and greatly reducing the occurrence of goods being placed on the side baffles. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs provide stable support and extend the service life. Attached Figure Description

[0020] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automated chain conveyor that can prevent goods from tilting, including: a conveyor chain plate 1, and a correction component 2 disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor chain plate 1 to prevent goods from tilting.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment: the correction assembly 2 includes side baffles 21 that are respectively fixed to both sides of the conveyor chain plate 1 by bolts, and horn sections 22 set at the inlet and outlet of each set of side baffles 21. The angle of each set of horn sections 22 is 20°-25° and the length is 7cm. The upper part of each set of side baffles 21 adopts a slope structure with a slope of 60°-70° after a height of 4cm, and its top width is 4.5cm and its height is 6cm. The outer surface of each set of side baffles 21 is provided with reinforcing ribs 23 at intervals to support the upper and lower steel plates. The user uses bolts to connect the two sets of side baffles. The two sets of side baffles 21 are installed on the upper surface of the conveyor chain plate 1 respectively. They can prevent the goods from hitting the photoelectric sensor due to tilting, thus avoiding damage to the photoelectric sensor. At the same time, since the side baffles 21 are provided with horn-shaped parts 22 at the inlet and outlet, they can guide tilted goods into the conveying area. In addition, combined with the sloping structure on the upper part of each set of side baffles 21, the entry range can be expanded, which reduces the initial placement accuracy requirements of the goods when the stacker crane places the goods, improves the fault tolerance rate, and greatly reduces the situation of goods being placed on the side baffles 21. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 23 provide stable support and extend the service life.
[0024] Each set of side baffles 21 is a component made of carbon steel with a thickness of 0.5CM. The total length of each set of side baffles 21 is 120cm-125cm, the total height is 10cm, and the total width is 8cm. This ensures that the side baffles 21 have sufficient height to prevent the goods from damaging the photoelectric device, and also ensures that the side baffles 21 have sufficient strength to withstand the collision of the goods.
[0025] Five sets of reinforcing ribs 23 are provided. Each set of reinforcing ribs 23 is a component made of carbon steel with a thickness of 0.5 cm, which disperses the stress and reduces the risk of deformation.
[0026] The bolts are 8mm in diameter and 5cm-10cm in length, with fixing holes spaced 35cm-42cm apart. This ensures a more stable installation of the side baffle 21 and is compatible with both internal hexagonal nuts and single-ended hexagonal nuts.
[0027] Working principle: When the stacker crane places palletized materials on the conveyor chain plate 1, the user can install two sets of side baffles 21 on the upper surface of the conveyor chain plate 1 with bolts without changing the size of the chain plate. Since the total length of the side baffles 21 is 120cm-125cm, the total height is 10cm, and the total width is 8cm, it can solve the problem of damage to the photoelectric sensor caused by the goods being tilted and hitting it when the stacker crane is placing goods. At the same time, since the side baffles 21 have flared parts 22 at the inlet and outlet with an angle of 20°-25° and a length of 7cm, they can guide tilted goods into the conveying area. In addition, the upper part of each set of side baffles 21 adopts a slope structure with a slope of 60°-70° after a height of 4cm, and its top width is 4.5cm and height is 6cm, thus expanding the entry range. This reduces the initial placement accuracy requirements of the goods when the stacker crane is placing goods, increases the fault tolerance rate, and greatly reduces the chance of goods being placed on the side baffles 21. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 23 provide stable support and extend the service life.
[0028] Example 2:
[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: a buffer assembly 3 is provided on one side of each of the two sets of side baffles 21. The buffer assembly 3 includes a bracket 31 disposed inside the two sets of side baffles 21, and a correction roller 32 rotatably connected inside each set of brackets 31. The axis of the correction roller 32 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chain plate 1. After the goods are guided into the conveying area by the correction assembly 2, if the goods still have a small deviation, their outer surface contacts the correction roller 32. At this time, since the goods are moved by the conveyor chain plate 1, they rub against the correction roller 32, which can push the goods back to the correct position and further prevent the goods from tilting.
[0030] Each set of correction rollers 32 has a rubber sleeve 33 on its outer surface to prevent damage to the outer surface of the goods.
[0031] Working principle: After the goods are guided into the conveying area by the correction component 2, if there is still a small deviation of the goods, its outer surface will contact the correction roller 32 and the rubber sleeve 33. At this time, since the goods are moved by the conveyor chain plate 1, they will rub against the outer surface of the correction roller 32 and the rubber sleeve 33. Therefore, the goods can be pushed back to the correct position without damaging the outer surface of the goods, and further avoid the goods from tilting.
[0032] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
