Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, and more specifically, to a double-block separating conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In automated logistics and transportation equipment, to coordinate with the work rhythm of each station, the material transport status on the conveyor at the front end of the station needs to be controlled. If the material transport speed is too slow, it will increase the waiting time for operators at the station, resulting in low production efficiency. Conversely, if the material transport speed is too fast, operators at the station may not be able to operate in time, and the material may flow directly to the next station. Therefore, to coordinate with the work rhythm of each station and ensure that operators can operate in an orderly manner, blocking devices are usually added to the conveyor to buffer and stop the material.

[0003] Currently, conveyors on the market are usually equipped with a blocking device to block materials back and forth. Since the next round of blocking and buffering requires waiting for the blocking device to return, this method results in a long waiting time for material transportation, which affects the working efficiency of subsequent workstations and thus affects the transportation efficiency and working efficiency of the entire automated logistics. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and provide a double-blocking separation conveyor. This double-blocking separation conveyor can quickly and effectively block and separate materials to ensure the conveying efficiency of materials, thereby improving the working efficiency of subsequent workstations and ensuring the efficiency of automated logistics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a double-blocking separation conveyor, characterized in that it includes a frame, a conveying mechanism, a first blocking mechanism, and a second blocking mechanism; the conveying mechanism is mounted on the frame; the first blocking mechanism and the second blocking mechanism are respectively connected to the frame and arranged opposite to each other; the first blocking mechanism is provided with a first blocking body, and the second blocking mechanism is provided with a second blocking body, the first blocking body and the second blocking body are arranged opposite to each other, the first blocking body and the second blocking body can rise outwards from the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism to block and buffer the material, and can descend to be located below the conveying mechanism; during operation, the first blocking body and the second blocking body alternately move back and forth in a manner of rising and falling and moving along the conveying direction and the opposite direction of the conveying mechanism, so as to realize the blocking and buffering of the material and return to the starting point; the starting point is close to the inlet of the conveying mechanism.

[0006] In the above scheme, the first and second blocking bodies of the present invention, in a double-blocking separating conveyor, alternately move up and down and along the conveying direction and in the opposite direction of the conveying mechanism. This allows for continuous blocking and buffering of materials entering the conveying mechanism without waiting for the return of the previous blocking device. This enables rapid and effective blocking and separation of materials, ensuring conveying efficiency and improving the efficiency of subsequent workstations, as well as the efficiency of automated logistics. In practical use, material can be manually fed into the conveying mechanism or fed into a feeder conveyor. When using a feeder conveyor, controlling the material feeding speed and the working rhythm of the first and second blocking bodies is sufficient.

[0007] Specifically, the first and second blocking bodies alternately move up and down and along the transmission direction and the reverse direction of the conveying mechanism to achieve material blocking and buffering and return to the starting point. This means that the first / second blocking body protrudes from the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism and moves along the transmission direction of the conveying mechanism to achieve material blocking and buffering; at the same time, the second / second blocking body lowers below the first / second blocking body and moves along the reverse direction of the conveying mechanism to return to the starting point.

[0008] The lifting stroke of the first barrier is greater than the height of the second barrier; the lifting stroke of the second barrier is greater than the height of the first barrier. This design allows the first and second barriers to effectively avoid each other.

[0009] The conveying mechanism includes several conveying units spaced apart; the first blocking body includes several first blocking plates, and the second blocking body includes several second blocking plates; the first and second blocking plates extend from the intervals between adjacent conveying units to protrude from the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0010] Several baffle plates are arranged side by side along the vertical direction of the transmission surface; several baffle plates are arranged side by side along the vertical direction of the transmission surface.

[0011] The first and second blocking mechanisms have the same structure. Both mechanisms further include a lifting cylinder, a mounting side plate, a drive assembly, a transmission timing belt assembly, and a sliding assembly. The mounting side plate is connected to the frame, and the sliding assembly is mounted on the mounting side plate. The drive end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the first / second blocking body to drive the first / second blocking body to rise and fall. The lifting cylinder is connected to both the transmission timing belt assembly and the sliding assembly. The drive assembly is connected to the transmission timing belt assembly to drive the transmission timing belt assembly to move, thereby causing the lifting cylinder to slide through the sliding assembly.

[0012] The sliding assembly includes a slider and a slide rail; the slide rail is mounted on the mounting side plate, the slider is connected to the lifting cylinder, and the lifting cylinder slides through the slider and the slide rail.

[0013] Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, a front limit block and a rear limit block are respectively installed at the front and rear mounting side plates of the slide rail. The design of the front limit block and the rear limit block can further limit the sliding stroke of the first block / second block.

[0014] The mounting side plates of the first blocking mechanism and the second blocking mechanism are mounted opposite each other on the frame.

[0015] The conveying mechanism further includes a conveying drive assembly, a synchronous transmission assembly, and a drive shaft assembly. The drive shaft assembly includes a main drive shaft and a driven drive shaft mounted on the frame, as well as toothed main rollers and toothed driven rollers equal in number to the conveying units. The toothed main rollers are mounted on the main drive shaft, and the toothed driven rollers are mounted on the driven drive shaft. Several conveying units are respectively meshed with the toothed main rollers and toothed driven rollers, and are spaced apart on the main drive shaft and the driven drive shaft. The conveying drive assembly is connected to the main drive shaft through the synchronous transmission assembly, thereby driving the main drive shaft to rotate so as to drive the conveying units to move through the toothed main rollers and toothed driven rollers.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The double-blocking separation conveyor of the present invention can realize the rapid and effective blocking and separation of materials to ensure the conveying efficiency of materials, thereby improving the working efficiency of subsequent work stations and ensuring the efficiency of automated logistics.
