Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller chain production technology, and in particular to a chain plate conveying device for roller chain production. Background Technology

[0002] On a small roller chain production line, raw materials such as chain plates and pins are transported. Because the chain plates have a smooth and flat surface and a small volume after quenching and oil cooling, they are prone to stacking in the transport pipe during transportation due to issues with material placement and transport speed. This can cause blockages in the transport route and affect the overall operation of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a chain conveyor for roller chain production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A chain conveyor for roller chain production includes a workbench and a conveying assembly mounted on the workbench. The conveying assembly includes a conveyor, an arc-shaped tube, and a collection box. The conveyor is fixedly mounted at one end of the workbench, and the collection box is fixedly mounted at the other end of the workbench. The arc-shaped tube is installed between the conveyor and the collection box. The arc-shaped tube is arched. The conveyor uses belt conveying. The conveyor includes two side plates and a belt. One end of the arc-shaped tube is fixedly mounted between the two side plates of the conveyor, and the other end of the arc-shaped tube is fixedly mounted on the top of the collection box.

[0006] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side plate of the conveyor, and a rotating block is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The rotating block is cylindrical and is located between the two side plates, with its installation position close to the end of the arc-shaped tube. A second cylinder is fixedly installed on the table surface of the workbench, and the output end of the second cylinder is fixedly installed on a push plate. A slot is opened at the bottom of the collection box, and the installation position of the push plate corresponds to the slot at the bottom of the collection box.

[0007] Preferably, a through groove is formed on the outer wall of the top surface of the arc-shaped tube, and a cylinder is disposed at the center of the through groove. The outer wall of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the arc-shaped tube, and the output end of the cylinder faces the inside of the arc-shaped tube. A pressure plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder. Multiple rollers are installed on the outer wall of the arc-shaped tube facing the conveyor, and the outer edge of the rollers is installed inside the through groove.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a conveying component, and by using the shape of the arc-shaped tube itself and the pressure plate to control the arc-shaped chain plate, it is possible to ensure that the chain plate falls on its own and realizes one-by-one transportation, thus avoiding blockage inside the tube.

[0016] like Figure 1-5 The illustrated roller chain production chain conveyor includes a workbench 1 and a conveying assembly mounted on the workbench 1. The conveying assembly includes a conveyor 2, an arc-shaped tube 3, and a collection box 7. The conveyor 2 is fixedly mounted at one end of the workbench 1, and the collection box 7 is fixedly mounted at the other end of the workbench 1. The arc-shaped tube 3 is installed between the conveyor 2 and the collection box 7. The arc-shaped tube 3 is arched. The conveyor 2 uses belt conveying. The conveyor 2 includes two side plates and a belt. One end of the arc-shaped tube 3 is fixedly mounted between the two side plates of the conveyor 2, and the other end of the arc-shaped tube 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the collection box 7.

[0017] A motor 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side plate of the conveyor 2. A rotating block 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 10. The rotating block 11 is cylindrical and is located between the two side plates. The installation position of the rotating block 11 is close to the end of the arc-shaped tube 3. A cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the table surface of the workbench 1. The output end of the cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the push plate 9. A slot is opened at the bottom of the collection box 7. The installation position of the push plate 9 corresponds to the slot at the bottom of the collection box 7.

[0018] A through groove 4 is formed on the outer wall of the top surface of the arc-shaped tube 3. A cylinder 5 is set at the center of the through groove 4. The outer wall of the cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the arc-shaped tube 3. The output end of the cylinder 5 faces the inside of the arc-shaped tube 3. A pressure plate 12 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 5. Multiple rollers 6 are installed on the outer wall of the arc-shaped tube 3 facing the conveyor 2. The outer edge of the rollers 6 is installed inside the through groove 4.

[0019] Example: The conveyor 2 on the workbench 1 transports the chain plate to the end of the arc tube 3. The motor 10 drives the rotating block 11 to rotate. The rotating block 11 clamps the chain plate with the belt of the conveyor 2. The rotation of the rotating block 11, together with the operation of the belt of the conveyor 2, drives the chain plate up and down, which can ensure that the chain plate smoothly enters the end of the arc tube 3. As the chain plate continues to enter the interior of the arc tube 3, the roller 6 will contact the outer wall of the chain plate. When the chain plate moves, the roller 6 can assist the chain plate to slide smoothly inside the arc tube 3. When the chain plate moves to the top of the arc tube 3, the cylinder 5 on the through groove 4 is activated, which drives the pressure plate 12 to press down the first chain plate at the top of the arc. At this time, the conveyor 2 stops running. After the roller chain installation production line officially starts working, cylinder 5 starts, driving the pressure plate 12 to separate from the first chain plate at the top of the arc. The chain plate will slide to the other end due to the arc-shaped inner wall of the arc tube 3. After one chain plate slides down, the conveyor 2 runs and adds another chain plate into the arc tube 3. At this time, another chain plate is pushed under the pressure plate 12 at the top of the arc. Cylinder 5 starts again, causing the pressure plate 12 to press down on the chain plate. After the previous chain plate runs into the collection box 7, cylinder 5 will drive the pressure plate 12 again to release the chain plate at the top of the arc, allowing it to continue falling into the collection box 7. This process is repeated to ensure that the chain plates can be transported one by one without causing blockage on the transport route.

[0020] After a certain number of chain plates are collected inside the collection box 7, cylinder 2 8 drives push plate 9, causing push plate 9 to push the chain plates at the bottom of the collection box 7 outward from the slot at the bottom of the collection box 7, so that they can be picked up and installed by the material handling mechanism on the production line.

[0021] It should be noted that the parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology; the various drives in this utility model can be implemented by corresponding power structures such as cylinders, oil cylinders, electric cylinders, and motors in conjunction with connecting rods, guide rods, etc., and are not limited to the structures described in the specification and the drawings.
