Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated production equipment for metal buttons, and in particular to a multi-station conveying device for metal buttons. Background Technology

[0002] The production of metal buttons involves multiple processing steps. Traditional production methods primarily rely on manual handling or single-station equipment to transfer materials between these steps. With the development of automation technology, some companies have begun using conveyor belts or robotic arms to connect processes; however, overall efficiency remains limited by the flexibility and stability of the conveying equipment. Currently, the industry commonly faces problems such as poor process integration, large equipment footprint, and difficulties in production changeovers, hindering the large-scale development of metal button production.

[0003] Existing conveying methods mainly use linear conveyor belts, turntable equipment, and robotic arms. However, linear conveyor belts cannot adapt to multi-directional conveying needs, while turntable equipment is difficult to expand the number of workstations due to the limited diameter of the turntable. Robotic arm solutions, on the other hand, have problems such as high investment costs and complex maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a multi-station conveying device for metal buttons, which overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies. The aim is to solve the problems that existing conveying methods mainly use linear conveyor belts, turntable equipment, and robotic arms. However, linear conveyor belts cannot adapt to multi-directional conveying needs, turntable equipment is difficult to expand the number of stations, and the diameter of the turntable limits the number of stations. The robotic arm solution has the problems of high investment costs and complex maintenance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a multi-station conveying device for metal buttons, comprising a main conveyor belt, side plates on both sides of the main conveyor belt, and upright plates above the two sets of side plates. Multiple sets of mounting slots and multiple sets of connecting slots are respectively opened inside the side plates and the upright plates. Multiple sets of fixing frames and multiple sets of diversion conveying mechanisms are arranged on the outer sides of the two sets of side plates. Each set of fixing frames corresponds to a diversion conveying mechanism. A pushing cylinder is arranged above the fixing frame, and an inclined plate is hinged to the output end of the pushing cylinder. One side of the inclined plate is rotatably connected to the upright plate. The diversion conveying mechanism includes an extension frame and a mounting frame. The mounting frame is located inside the mounting slot, and the extension frame is located on one side of the mounting frame. A secondary conveyor belt is arranged inside the mounting frame. Multiple sets of photoelectric detection modules are arranged above the two sets of upright plates. The detection ends of the photoelectric detection modules correspond to the top of the main conveyor belt. A support frame is arranged at the bottom of the main conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a main conveyor belt, the metal buttons move continuously under the conveyor belt during use. When passing through the photoelectric detection module, the photoelectric detection module will detect them. When it is necessary to change the conveying direction, the inclined plate can be directly pushed by the push cylinder. At this time, the buttons will slide to one side of the diversion conveyor mechanism under the obstruction of the inclined plate, thus directly entering the interior of the diversion conveyor mechanism. Then, the buttons are conveyed to other workstations by the set secondary conveyor belt. After a certain number of buttons have been conveyed, the inclined plate can be reset, and the buttons can automatically continue to be conveyed forward. In this way, the conveying direction can be changed quickly during use, and it can adapt to the needs of multi-station processing. It is also convenient for future expansion and is easy to use.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the main conveyor belt is provided with multiple sets of magnetic attraction modules on its exterior, and the multiple sets of magnetic attraction modules are arranged in an array.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a magnetic module, the buttons can be attracted during use, which effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of conveying, reduces the phenomenon of deviation during conveying, and enhances the practicality of the device.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a limiting plate is provided above the main conveyor belt, and a limiting hole corresponding to the magnetic attraction module is opened at the bottom of the limiting plate. Multiple sets of sensing components are provided on one side of the limiting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a limiting plate, the adsorption of buttons above the magnetic module can be limited during use, ensuring the accuracy of delivery, preventing multiple buttons from piling up, and making delivery more stable.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a control module is provided on one side of the upright plate, and the control module is electrically connected to the main conveyor belt, the fixed frame, the diversion conveying mechanism and the photoelectric detection module.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a control module, it is more convenient to operate the device and adjust the conveying speed during use, thus improving the ease of use.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support frame includes four sets of uprights, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between two sets of uprights, a supporting crossbar is slidably connected between two sets of uprights, the supporting crossbar abuts against the bottom of the main conveyor belt, a hydraulic cylinder is provided above the connecting rod, and the top of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the supporting crossbar.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up uprights, the height of the main conveyor belt can be adjusted by changing the height of the hydraulic cylinder during use, which can better match the height of other processing equipment and make it more convenient to use.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inclined plate has an arc surface on the side near the main conveyor belt, and an indicator light assembly is provided on the top of the photoelectric detection module.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting one side of the inclined plate to be curved, it can be effectively ensured that the buttons can smoothly enter the interior of the diversion and conveying mechanism, reducing the occurrence of blockages. At the same time, the indicator light assembly can better display the conveying status to the outside and can promptly alarm in case of abnormality.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a hinge assembly is provided between the extension frame and the mounting frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the hinge assembly, the angle of the mounting frame can be adjusted, which can further improve the stability of the conveying and make it more convenient to enter other processing steps.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this application, each of the multiple sets of uprights has a sliding groove inside, and both sides of the two sets of supporting crossbars are provided with sliders, and the two sets of sliders are slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the sliding groove, the stability of the support crossbar when moving up and down can be improved during use, thus improving both load-bearing capacity and stability during use.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0022] 1. By setting up a main conveyor belt, the metal buttons move continuously under the conveyor belt during use. When passing through the photoelectric detection module, the photoelectric detection module will detect them. When it is necessary to change the conveying direction, the inclined plate can be directly pushed by the push cylinder. At this time, the buttons will slide to one side of the diversion conveyor mechanism under the obstruction of the inclined plate, thus directly entering the interior of the diversion conveyor mechanism. Then, the buttons are conveyed to other workstations by the set secondary conveyor belt. After a certain number of buttons have been conveyed, the inclined plate can be reset, and the buttons can then automatically continue to be conveyed forward. In this way, the conveying direction can be changed quickly during use, and it can adapt to the needs of multi-station processing. It is also convenient for future expansion and is quite convenient to use.

At the same time, the indicator light assembly 401 can better display the conveying status to the outside and can promptly alarm in case of abnormality.
