Detailed Implementation
[0017] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0018] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a tank conveying device includes a tank conveying device arranged parallel to a tank drying oven 100. The outlet of the tank drying oven and the feed end of the tank conveying device are connected by a tank transition conveying mechanism 200. The tank conveying device includes a tilting magnetic conveyor belt 300, a vertical magnetic conveyor belt 400, and a chain conveyor 500 arranged sequentially along the tank conveying direction. The tilting magnetic conveyor belt 300 has a tilting horizontal section 310 and a tilting inclined section 320. The vertical magnetic conveyor belt 400 has a vertical inclined section 410 and a vertical horizontal section 420. The feed end of the vertical inclined section of the vertical magnetic conveyor belt is located below the discharge end of the tilting inclined section of the tilting magnetic conveyor belt, and the included angle between the vertical inclined section and the tilting inclined section is 90°. Both the inverting tilt section 320 and the upright tilt section 410 have an inclination of 45°. The inverting tilt section 320 places the can at a 45° angle onto the upright tilt section 410. Due to magnetic force, the can will not slip when the inverting tilt section 320 is tilted at 45°, and the upright tilt section 410 holds the bottom of the can, preventing it from tipping over. When the can reaches the upright horizontal section 420, it swings to an upright position. This can conveying device has a simple structure, reasonable design, is easy to control, requires no power source, operates stably and reliably, and will not scratch the can surface, thus improving product quality.
[0020] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the horizontal section of the inverting magnetic conveyor belt is connected to the outlet end of the tank transition conveyor mechanism, and the outlet end of the horizontal section of the vertical magnetic conveyor belt is connected to the inlet end of the chain conveyor. An anti-tipping limit plate 510 is provided above the inlet end of the chain conveyor, with its bottom surface close to the upper surface of the tank. Since the tank's height increases when tilted, the anti-tipping limit plate 510 can restrict the tank's tilt, thus preventing it from tipping over. This eliminates the need for workers to reset a tilted tank, reducing labor costs.
[0021] In this embodiment, a transition plate 520 is provided between the discharge end of the vertical tank horizontal section of the vertical tank magnetic conveyor belt and the feed end of the chain conveyor.
[0022] In this embodiment, the chain conveyor is connected to three discharge conveyors 600 at its discharge end. The chain conveyors have diversion guide plates 530 that can swing left and right on both sides near the discharge end. The discharge conveyors deliver the tanks to the corresponding equipment. Based on different tank sizes, the diversion guide plates 530 divert the tanks, controlling their entry into the designated discharge conveyor.
[0023] In this embodiment, one end of the diversion guide plate is hinged to the side of the chain conveyor. A support plate 540 supporting the diversion guide plate is fixedly connected to the side of the chain conveyor. The support plate is arc-shaped and has several bolt holes. The diversion guide plate is connected to one of the bolt holes by bolts. By adjusting the diversion guide plate to different angles, the tank can be guided to different discharge conveyors.
[0024] In this embodiment, several cooling fans 550 are provided above the chain conveyor.
[0025] In this embodiment, the tank transition conveying mechanism 200 includes a transition magnetic conveyor belt 210. The working surface of the transition magnetic conveyor belt is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and a support rail 220 for supporting the tank is provided along the conveying path of the transition magnetic conveyor belt. The transition magnetic conveyor belt also uses magnetic adsorption to hold the side of the inverted tank, while the support rail 220 provides support force to the tank to prevent it from falling.
[0026] In this embodiment, the magnetic conveyor belt 300 for inverting cans is provided with baffles 330 on both sides.
