Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber production technology, specifically to an online impurity detection mechanism for rubber production. Background Technology
[0002] In the rubber production industry, the presence of impurities can severely affect the quality and performance of rubber products; therefore, online impurity detection in rubber is crucial. Currently, the industry commonly uses conveyor belt systems to transport rubber, allowing for the detection of impurities using equipment such as metal detectors.
[0003] However, because rubber itself has a certain degree of elasticity, it is prone to bending and deformation during the transmission process of the conveyor belt device. Once the rubber bends, some parts of it will overlap, which makes it impossible for metal detectors and other detection equipment to conduct comprehensive and effective detection of all parts of the rubber, resulting in frequent cases of missed detection of impurities.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides an online impurity detection mechanism for rubber production to prevent the rubber from bending and deforming during the conveyor belt process.
[0029] Specifically, a take-up roller 2 and an unwind roller 3 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1, respectively. A support plate 4 is vertically welded to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Two transmission rollers 5 are rotatably connected inside the support plate 4 through bearings. The two transmission rollers 5 are spaced vertically and located on the same ZY plane. The rubber strip on the unwind roller 3 passes around the lower transmission roller 5 and the upper transmission roller 5 from bottom to top and is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 2 to form a rubber transmission path.
[0030] Furthermore, a support frame 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 4 with bolts, and a metal detector 7 is horizontally installed on the support frame 6. The metal detector 7 is located directly above the upper transmission roller 5, and its axis is parallel to the axis line of the transmission roller 5. At the same time, the length detected by the metal detector 7 in the Y-axis direction is greater than the length of the transmission roller 5, ensuring that it can cover the entire width of the rubber strip.
[0031] In actual setup, the two transmission rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the support plate 4 via bearings. The rubber strip passes over the two transmission rollers 5 from bottom to top and connects with the take-up roller 2 and the unwind roller 3 to form a tensioned transmission path. This setup utilizes the rotation of the transmission rollers 5 to drive the rubber strip to be transmitted smoothly. Since the two transmission rollers 5 are spaced vertically and located on the same ZY plane, the rubber strip maintains a straight line motion during transmission, effectively preventing the rubber from bending and deforming due to elasticity, avoiding overlapping of rubber parts, and providing a flat detection surface for the metal detector 7 to perform comprehensive detection.
[0032] In addition, the metal detector 7 is mounted on the support frame 6 and located directly above the upper conveyor roller 5, and is parallel to the axis of the conveyor roller 5. Its detection length is greater than the length of the conveyor roller 5, so that the metal detector 7 can cover the entire width of the uppermost rubber strip. When the rubber strip is smoothly conveyed on the conveyor roller 5, the metal detector 7 can perform a comprehensive inspection of the uppermost side of the rubber strip, ensuring that metal impurities in the rubber can be detected in time, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the inspection, and reducing the situation of impurities being missed.
[0033] In detail, in order to facilitate the synchronous rotation of the two transmission rollers 5 and realize the transmission of the rubber material belt, the transmission component 8 in this embodiment includes a gear 801 sleeved on the outside of the two transmission rollers 5, and the same toothed belt 802 meshing on the outside of the two gears 801. A motor 803 with its output end connected to one of the transmission rollers 5 is installed on the back side of the support plate 4.
[0034] In actual use, when the motor 803 is running, it drives the transmission roller 5 connected to it to rotate. Through the transmission of the gear 801 and the toothed belt 802, the other transmission roller 5 rotates synchronously, so as to ensure the uniformity and stability of the rubber belt transmission speed, avoid problems such as wrinkles and bending of the rubber belt due to inconsistent transmission speed, and further ensure the reliability of the test.
[0035] In addition, in order to prevent the rubber strip from shifting on the outside of the transmission roller 5 and to keep the rubber strip in the center at all times, a limiting component 9 is also provided on the base plate 1 in this embodiment.
[0036] The limiting component 9 includes two limiting plates 901, any one of which is simultaneously sleeved on the outside of the two transmission rollers 5, and each of the limiting plates 901 has two through holes inside.
[0037] Furthermore, an adjustment assembly is provided on the base plate 1 to adjust the distance between the two limiting plates 901. The adjustment assembly includes a bearing seat 902 mounted on the base plate 1. A screw 903 is rotatably connected between the bearing seat 902 and the support plate 4. Two transmission plates 904 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw 903. The two transmission plates 904 are respectively connected to the two limiting plates 901.
[0038] A handwheel 905 is installed on the bearing housing 902, one end of which is fixedly connected to the screw 903. The outer surface of the screw 903 has two threaded grooves, and the thread directions of the two threaded grooves are opposite. A slide rail 906 is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 along the Y-axis direction. Both transmission plates 904 are slidably connected to the outside of the slide rail 906.
[0039] In actual use, rotating the handwheel 905 drives the screw 903 to rotate. Since the two threads are in opposite directions, the two transmission plates 904 will move in opposite directions on the screw 903, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limiting plates 901. The limiting plates 901 limit the rubber strip and prevent it from deviating during transmission. The adjustable distance setting can adapt to rubber strips of different widths, increasing the applicability of the equipment. The slide rail 906 provides guidance for the sliding of the transmission plate 904, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the adjustment process.
[0040] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0041] (1) Start the motor 803. The motor 803 outputs power to drive the transmission roller 5 connected to it to rotate. The gear 801 on the outside of the transmission roller 5 drives another transmission roller 5 to rotate synchronously through the toothed belt 802. The rubber strip on the unwinding roller 3 passes around the lower transmission roller 5 and the upper transmission roller 5 from bottom to top. Driven by the rotation of the two transmission rollers 5, the rubber strip is smoothly transmitted to the winding roller 2. The winding roller 2 winds up the transmitted rubber strip. During the transmission of the rubber strip, the metal detector 7 located directly above the upper transmission roller 5 is in working condition. Since the detection length of the metal detector 7 is greater than the length of the transmission roller 5, it can detect the entire width range of the rubber strip. When the rubber strip contains metal impurities, the metal detector 7 will detect and send a signal to realize the online detection of metal impurities in the rubber.
[0042] (2) According to the width of the rubber strip, turn the handwheel 905. The handwheel 905 drives the screw 903 to rotate. The two reverse thread grooves on the screw 903 cause the two transmission plates 904 to move in opposite directions on the slide rail 906, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limit plates 901 so that the limit plates 901 can play a proper limiting role on the rubber strip, preventing the rubber strip from deviating during transmission and ensuring the normal progress of the test.
