Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of woodworking machinery and its non-standard automation technology, and particularly to steering conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of sheet metal, it is often necessary to turn it, often by as much as 90°. Current technology generally uses a conveyor system in conjunction with its own steering mechanism to achieve this. For example, the authorized patent CN222860265U, published on 2025-05-13, entitled "A 90° Turning Conveyor for Sheet Metal," utilizes a conveyor system in conjunction with its own steering mechanism for 90° turning of the sheet metal. However, this method has drawbacks: when the built-in steering mechanism works in conjunction with the conveyor system, the sheet metal is prone to displacement or misalignment, resulting in unstable turning. Therefore, further improvements are needed.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solution in actual production and implementation, it has been modified and improved. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking the best, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, a steering conveyor is specially provided to solve the technical problems of poor stability and easy displacement and misalignment of the current steering conveyor when steering the sheet material. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a steering conveyor to solve the technical problems of poor stability and easy displacement or misalignment of plates when steering plates.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A steering conveyor includes a conveyor line, which comprises a conveyor support and a conveyor drive mounted on the conveyor support, and multiple belt conveyors. The conveyor drive is driven by a coupling shaft, which transmits power to each belt conveyor. The conveyor also includes a steering device, which comprises an arched support and a rotary drive and a rotary mechanism mounted on the arched support. The conveyor line passes through the bottom of the arched structure of the arched support. The rotary mechanism is connected to an adsorption and gripping mechanism located at the top of the conveyor line. The rotary drive drives the rotary mechanism, and the rotary mechanism drives the adsorption and gripping mechanism to rotate horizontally.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption and gripping mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a long suction cup. The rotating mechanism is located at the top of the arched support. The rotating end of the rotating mechanism is connected to a connecting frame. Two lifting cylinders are arranged on each of the opposite sides of the connecting frame. A suction cup mounting plate is connected to the piston end at the bottom of each lifting cylinder. A long suction cup is connected to the bottom of each suction cup mounting plate.

[0008] The long suction cups here are negative pressure suction cups, and they are used in conjunction with external auxiliary devices.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting member is provided on the outer side wall of the connecting frame, and a limiting strip that cooperates with and is slidably connected to the top of the suction cup mounting plate is provided. Limiting strips are provided on the left and right sides of each lifting cylinder. The limiting strips are arranged longitudinally and are used to assist in limiting the longitudinal movement of the suction cup mounting plate and the long suction cup.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the conveying bracket includes several support legs, including an outer support leg and an inner support leg. The top of the inner support leg is located within the outer support leg. The inner support leg and the outer support leg are fixed in relative position by bolts. Specifically, the inner support leg has a longitudinally arranged elongated hole, and the outer support leg has a bolt hole. The relative position is fixed by the cooperation of the bolts, bolt holes, and elongated holes.

[0011] Sensors are installed on the arched support to detect whether there is a board at the bottom. In conjunction with an external controller, a command is issued to the suction cup to pick up the board and lift it up for rotation.

[0012] This solution utilizes a conveyor line to transport the sheet material. When the sheet material is conveyed to the bottom of the arched support, a suction cup picks it up, a lifting cylinder lifts it up, and under the action of rotational drive transmission, the sheet material turns. The lifting cylinder then lowers the sheet material and puts it back on the conveyor line for continued transport.

[0013] The conveyor line includes multiple parallel belt conveyors, with the tail of the central belt conveyor being longer than that of the belt conveyors on the left and right sides, in order to facilitate the continued transport of the plates after they have been turned.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This solution utilizes an adsorption gripping mechanism to grip the plate and a rotating mechanism to turn it. The gripping is stable and the rotation angle is accurate. Compared with existing technologies, this solution has better stability in the entire turning process and is less prone to displacement or misalignment. It effectively solves the technical problems of poor stability and easy displacement or misalignment of the plate when turning the current turning conveyor. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the steering conveyor includes a conveyor line 1, which includes a conveyor support 2 and a conveyor drive 18 mounted on the conveyor support 2 and multiple belt conveyors 16. The conveyor drive 18 is driven by a coupling shaft 17, which transmits power to each belt conveyor 16. The conveyor also includes a steering device 3, which includes an arch support 7 and a rotary drive 4 and a rotary mechanism 5 mounted on the arch support 7. The conveyor line 1 passes through the bottom of the arched structure of the arch support 7. The rotary mechanism 5 is connected to an adsorption and gripping mechanism 6, which is located at the top of the conveyor line 1. The rotary drive 4 drives the rotary mechanism 5, and the rotary mechanism 5 drives the adsorption and gripping mechanism 6 to rotate horizontally.

[0031] The adsorption and gripping mechanism 6 includes a lifting cylinder 10 and a long suction cup 8. The rotating mechanism 5 is located on the top of the arched support 7. The bottom rotating end of the rotating mechanism 5 is connected to a connecting frame 9. Two lifting cylinders 10 are arranged on each of the opposite sides of the connecting frame 9. A suction cup mounting plate 13 is connected to the piston end at the bottom of each lifting cylinder 10. A long suction cup 8 is connected to the bottom of each suction cup mounting plate 13.

[0032] The long suction cup 8 here is a negative pressure suction cup, which works in conjunction with an external coordinating device.

[0033] A limiting member 11 is provided on the outer side wall of the connecting frame 9. A limiting strip 12 that cooperates with and slides with the limiting member 11 is connected to the top of the suction cup mounting plate 13. Limiting strips 12 are provided on the left and right sides of each lifting cylinder 10. The limiting strips 12 are arranged longitudinally and are used to assist in limiting the longitudinal movement of the suction cup mounting plate 13 and the long strip suction cup 8.

[0034] The conveying bracket 2 includes several support legs, including an outer support leg 14 and an inner support leg 15. The top of the inner support leg 15 is located inside the outer support leg 14. The inner support leg 15 and the outer support leg 14 are fixed in relative position by bolts. Specifically, the inner support leg 15 is provided with an elongated hole along the longitudinal direction, and the outer support leg 14 is provided with a bolt hole. The relative position is fixed by the cooperation of the bolts, bolt holes, and elongated holes.

[0035] The arched bracket 7 is equipped with a sensor to detect whether there is a board at the bottom. In conjunction with an external controller, it issues a command to have a suction cup pick up the board and lift it up for rotation.

[0036] This solution utilizes conveyor line 1 to transport the sheet material. When the sheet material is conveyed to the bottom of the arch support 7, a suction cup picks it up, and a lifting cylinder 10 lifts it up. Under the action of the rotation drive 4, the sheet material turns, the lifting cylinder 10 descends, and then the rotated sheet material is placed back on conveyor line 1 for continued transport.

[0037] The conveyor line 1 includes multiple parallel belt conveyors 16, wherein the tail length of the belt conveyor 16 in the middle is longer than that of the belt conveyors 16 on the left and right sides, so as to facilitate the continued transmission of the plate after the turn.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0039] This solution utilizes an adsorption gripping mechanism to grip the plate and a rotating mechanism to turn it. The gripping is stable and the rotation angle is accurate. Compared with existing technologies, this solution has better stability in the entire turning process and is less prone to displacement or misalignment. It effectively solves the technical problems of poor stability and easy displacement or misalignment of the plate when turning the current turning conveyor.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
