Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-hole module conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material handling, conveyor modules are crucial devices for achieving automated material transfer. Currently, the conveyor modules widely used in the industry suffer from two main problems. First, their connecting rods are mostly made of metal. Because of the metallic properties of the connecting rods, these modules cannot pass through metal detectors used to detect metal impurities in the production process. Second, existing conveyor modules often employ fixed-size designs, resulting in a lack of flexibility in the connection methods between the connecting rods and other components. This makes it difficult to flexibly assemble and combine modules according to different conveying paths, material types, and available space requirements during actual use, leading to poor adaptability and an inability to efficiently meet diverse material handling scenarios.

[0003] Therefore, existing conveying modules with metal connecting rods have insufficient adaptability to metal detection and insufficient dimensional flexibility, and a new type of conveying module is needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of metal-connected conveyor modules in terms of metal detection adaptability and dimensional flexibility, this invention provides a multi-hole module conveyor belt.

[0005] This utility model provides a multi-hole modular conveyor belt, comprising several long modular units and several short modular units. The long and short modular units have spaced connecting blocks and connecting grooves at their front and rear ends. A pin fixing block is formed on one side of each long and short modular unit. The connecting blocks have connecting holes for plastic rods to pass through, and the pin fixing blocks have pin holes for plastic rods to pass through. The long and short modular units are spliced ​​together using plastic rods to form a conveyor belt of uniform width.

[0006] Furthermore, the long module units are connected in series to form a first splicing unit, and short module units are connected in series at both ends of the long module units to form a second splicing unit. The first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are spliced ​​alternately by inserting connecting blocks into connecting slots to form a whole conveyor belt. The pin fixing blocks of the long module units and the short module units abut against each other, forming a continuous plane on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt after abutting.

[0007] Furthermore, a first through hole is formed on the connecting block. The first through hole is triangular, and the connecting block has a wedge-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, so as to reduce the contact area between adjacent connecting blocks after the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are alternately spliced.

[0008] Furthermore, after the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are spliced ​​alternately, a second through hole is formed between the connecting block and the connecting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting block has a rounded corner structure from its upper surface to its lower surface.

[0010] Furthermore, a gear slot is formed on the pin fixing block.

[0011] Furthermore, after the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are spliced ​​alternately, a pin is provided in the pin fixing block, and the plastic rod placed in the connecting hole is limited and sealed by the pin.

[0012] Furthermore, a positioning groove is formed in the pin hole, a positioning protrusion that mates with the positioning groove is formed on the pin, a compression through hole is formed on the pin, the compression through hole is located in the middle of the pin, and an annular protrusion is formed in the middle of the pin.

[0013] Furthermore, a removal window is formed on the pin fixing block, and a recessed locking groove is formed on the positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion is positioned along the position corresponding to the compression through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the pin fixing block is formed with a rounded corner, which is a rounded corner structure from its upper surface to its lower surface, consistent with the connecting block. The other end of the pin fixing block is formed with an arc-shaped semi-concave surface, which is used for alternating splicing of the rounded corners to abut, so that a continuous plane is formed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt after abutting.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The present invention proposes a multi-hole modular conveyor belt, which uses plastic rods to connect the module units through the connecting holes and pin holes to achieve splicing. This effectively avoids the problem in the prior art that metal connecting rods cannot pass metal detection, enabling the conveyor belt to meet the metal detection requirements of industries such as food and medicine, expanding the application scenarios of the conveyor module and improving its adaptability in situations requiring metal detection.

[0017] 2. The combined design of the long and short module units of this utility model, along with the alternating splicing structure of the first and second splicing units, allows for flexible adjustment of the conveyor belt length and width according to actual conveying needs, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to different conveying paths and site spaces. The mating structure of the connecting block and connecting groove, combined with the pin fixing block's limiting and sealing design for the plastic rod, ensures the robustness of the module unit splicing while enabling rapid assembly and disassembly, improving the installation efficiency and structural stability of the conveyor belt and ensuring that it is not prone to loosening or displacement during conveying.

[0018] 3. The connecting block of this utility model adopts a wedge-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom and is provided with a triangular first through hole, which reduces the contact area between adjacent connecting blocks, reduces the frictional resistance at the splicing point, and also reduces the overall weight. This is beneficial for transporting aquatic products and other materials, facilitates water leakage and cleaning and maintenance, and also helps to reduce the operating load of the equipment.

[0019] 4. The design of the removal window on the pin fixing block and the snap-in groove on the positioning protrusion of this utility model facilitates quick disassembly of the pin during maintenance or adjustment; while the abutment structure of the rounded head and the arc-shaped semi-concave surface makes the left and right sides of the conveyor belt form a continuous plane, avoiding protrusions or depressions at the splicing point, preventing jamming or scratching during material conveying, and improving conveying safety.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 This embodiment of a multi-hole modular conveyor belt includes several long module units 1 and several short module units 2. The long module units 1 and short module units 2 have spaced connecting blocks 101 and connecting grooves 102 formed at their front and rear ends. The dimensions of the connecting blocks 101 and connecting grooves 102 are adapted to each other, allowing the connecting blocks 101 to be precisely embedded into the connecting grooves 102 of adjacent module units, achieving initial positioning of adjacent module units. A pin fixing block 103 is formed on one side of each long module unit 1 and short module unit 2, extending along the length direction of the module unit to provide support and limiting space for the end of the plastic rod 3. The connecting block 101 has a connecting hole 104 for the plastic rod 3 to pass through. The connecting hole 104 passes through the left and right sides of the connecting block 101, and its diameter matches the outer diameter of the plastic rod 3 to ensure that the plastic rod 3 can stably connect adjacent module units after passing through. The pin fixing block 103 has a pin hole 105 for the plastic rod 3 to pass through. The pin hole 105 coincides with the axis of the connecting hole 104. After the plastic rod 3 passes through the connecting hole 104 and the pin hole 105 in sequence, multiple module units can be connected in series to form a whole. The long module unit 1 and the short module unit 2 are spliced ​​together by the plastic rod 3 to form a conveyor belt with the same width.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6The long module units 1 are connected in series to form a first splicing unit. When connected in series, adjacent long module units 1 are positioned laterally by connecting blocks 101 and connecting grooves 102. Plastic rods 3 are fixed longitudinally by passing through connecting holes 104 and pin holes 105. The two ends of the long module units 1 connected in series are then connected in series with short module units 2 to form a second splicing unit. The structure of the short module units 2 is adapted to the long module units 1, with only a difference in length, which can fill the length gap after the long module units 1 are spliced. The first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are connected by connecting blocks 101 and 102. The conveyor belt is interlocked by inserting the connecting slot 102. During interlocking, the connecting block 101 of the first splicing unit is inserted into the connecting slot 102 of the second splicing unit, and the connecting block 101 of the second splicing unit is inserted into the connecting slot 102 of the first splicing unit, forming a stable interlocking structure that together constitutes the whole conveyor belt. The pin fixing blocks 103 of the long module unit 1 and the short module unit 2 abut against each other, forming a continuous plane on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt after abutting. The continuous plane can prevent the conveyor belt from rubbing against the surrounding components during operation.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The connecting block 101 has a first through hole 4, which is triangular. This triangular structure reduces the weight of the connecting block 101 while maintaining its structural strength, preventing deformation due to excessive force during assembly. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The connecting block 101 has a wedge-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, in order to reduce the contact area between adjacent connecting blocks 101 after the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are alternately spliced. The reduced contact area can reduce the friction loss when the module units move relative to each other and improve the smoothness of the conveyor belt operation.

[0033] After the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are spliced ​​alternately, a second through hole 5 is formed between the connecting block 101 and the connecting groove 102. The existence of the second through hole 5 extends the conveyor belt on the one hand and reduces the weight of the conveyor belt on the other hand. At the same time, it forms a porous structure, which makes it easier to leak water when transporting aquatic products and other materials, and also makes it easier to clean.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The connecting block 101 has a rounded corner structure from its upper surface to its lower surface. The rounded corner structure can eliminate the sharp edges of the connecting block 101, avoid the material being scratched by the edges during material conveying, and reduce the risk of operators being scratched during installation.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The pin fixing block 103 has a gear slot 6 formed on it. The gear slot 6 can mesh with the drive gear to provide driving force for the conveyor belt and ensure that the conveyor belt runs stably in the preset direction.

[0036] Reference Figure 2After the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are spliced ​​alternately, a pin 7 is provided in the pin fixing block 103. The pin 7 limits and seals the plastic rod 3 placed in the connecting hole 104. The limiting and sealing can prevent the plastic rod 3 from falling out of the connecting hole 104 during the operation of the conveyor belt, thus ensuring the stability of the splicing structure.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A positioning groove 106 is formed in the pin hole 105, and a positioning protrusion 701 is formed on the pin 7 to cooperate with the positioning groove 106. After the positioning protrusion 701 is embedded in the positioning groove 106, it can restrict the circumferential rotation of the pin 7 in the pin hole 105, ensuring the limiting effect of the pin 7 on the plastic rod 3. A compression through hole 702 is formed on the pin 7. The compression through hole 702 is located in the middle of the pin 7. The compression through hole 702 gives the middle of the pin 7 a certain elastic deformation capacity, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pin 7. An annular protrusion 703 is formed in the middle of the pin 7. The annular protrusion 703 can enhance the tightness of the fit between the pin 7 and the pin hole 105 and prevent the pin 7 from axial displacement during the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The pin fixing block 103 has a removal window 109, which provides operating space for tools to apply force to the pin 7 to complete the disassembly. The positioning protrusion 701 has a recessed insertion groove 704 to limit the insertion depth of the pin 7. The positioning protrusion 701 is set at the position corresponding to the compression through hole 702.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 One end of the pin fixing block 103 forms a rounded corner head 107, which is a rounded corner structure from its upper surface to its lower surface, consistent with the connecting block 101. The rounded corner head 107 can prevent the end of the pin fixing block 103 from causing damage to materials or operators. The other end of the pin fixing block 103 forms an arc-shaped semi-concave surface 108, which is used for alternating splicing of the rounded corner heads 107 to abut, so that a continuous plane is formed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt after abutting. The cooperation between the arc-shaped semi-concave surface 108 and the rounded corner head 107 can ensure the continuity of the abutting point.

[0040] Installation steps

[0041] Assemble the first splicing unit: Arrange several long module units 1 in sequence.

[0042] Assemble the second splicing unit: Take several long module units 1 and connect them in series to form a basic segment. Connect short module units 2 in series at both ends of the basic segment. Generally, one less long module unit 1 is used than the first splicing unit.

[0043] Alternate splicing of the whole: The first splicing unit and the second splicing unit are arranged alternately, so that the connecting block 101 of the first splicing unit is embedded in the connecting groove 102 of the second splicing unit, and at the same time the connecting block 101 of the second splicing unit is embedded in the connecting groove 102 of the first splicing unit. The position is adjusted so that each connecting hole 104 and pin hole 105 are aligned.

[0044] Insert plastic rod 3: Align the connecting hole 104 and the pin hole 105, and insert the plastic rod 3 through the connecting hole 104 and the pin hole 105 to complete the connection between the first splicing unit and the second splicing unit.

[0045] Insert the pin to fix the plastic rod 3: Ensure that both ends of the plastic rod 3 extend to the edge of the pin fixing block 103. Insert the pin 7 from the end of the pin fixing block 103 into the pin hole 105, so that the positioning protrusion 701 on the pin 7 cooperates with the positioning groove 106 in the pin hole 105 until the annular protrusion 703 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the pin hole 105, thus completing the limiting and sealing of the plastic rod 3, and completing the installation of the multi-hole module conveyor belt.

[0046] Disassembly steps:

[0047] Prepare disassembly tools: Select a disassembly tool, such as a screwdriver, that is compatible with the recessed slot 704 on the positioning protrusion 701, and ensure that the tool can be stably inserted into the slot 704.

[0048] Operating the removal window 109: Insert the disassembly tool through the removal window 109 on the pin fixing block 103, apply pressure to the compression through hole 702 with the end of the tool, and use the elastic deformation ability of the compression through hole 702 in the middle of the pin 7 to make the positioning protrusion 701 on the pin 7 disengage from the positioning groove 106 in the pin hole 105. Then remove the pin 7 from the pin hole 105 to release the pin 7 from the limiting seal of the plastic rod 3.

[0049] Remove the plastic rod 3: After the pin 7 is completely removed, pull the plastic rod 3 out of the through connecting hole 104 and pin hole 105 along the axial direction of the connecting hole 104 and pin hole 105 to complete the disassembly of the plastic rod 3.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
