Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary conveyor technology, specifically a multi-functional, multi-station rotary conveyor mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Multifunctional, multi-station rotary conveyor mechanisms are widely used in automated production lines. They are primarily used to transfer materials or workpieces from one station to another to achieve continuity and efficiency in the production process. With the development of industrial automation, the requirements for material transfer in production lines are constantly increasing. Traditional conveyor systems can no longer meet the needs of modern production, especially in multi-station production environments. Materials need to be transferred and positioned flexibly and efficiently according to different process requirements. These mechanisms typically employ a rotary design, achieving multi-point transfer and operation through the cyclical rotation of multiple stations. The conveyor mechanism usually includes multiple rotatable stations, each capable of completing different processing tasks within a specific cycle, such as assembly, inspection, painting, and packaging. Synchronous operation is achieved through an automated control system. The multifunctional design allows the conveyor mechanism to not only perform multiple process operations on the same production line but also flexibly switch between different production stages, maximizing production efficiency and reducing manpower input.

[0003] Existing rotary or linear conveyor mechanisms generally have the following drawbacks: fixed station functions, requiring complete disassembly and modification when products are changed or processes are upgraded, resulting in long downtime.

[0004] Therefore, a multi-functional, multi-station rotary conveyor mechanism is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-functional, multi-station rotary conveyor mechanism, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vertical plate is provided, a side plate is bolted to the side of the vertical plate, a sprocket conveyor belt is mounted on the back of the side plate, a support plate is mounted on the top of the sprocket conveyor belt, and a fixing device is mounted on the front of the vertical plate.

[0007] The fixing device includes a first bolt hole on the front of the vertical plate, a second bolt hole on the top of the vertical plate, a protective box fitted inside the first bolt hole, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective box via a bearing, a rotating block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, a movable rod hinged to the top of the rotating block, a clamping block hinged to the top of the movable rod, a support plate for supporting the external device fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box, and a drive assembly for driving the rotating block to rotate on the front of the vertical plate.

[0008] Preferably, a lead screw is rotatably connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box via a bearing. The lead screw moves through the protective box, and the extended end of the lead screw extends toward the front of the protective box. A drive block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw.

[0009] Preferably, a knob is fixedly connected to the front of the lead screw, a limit rod is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box, and the drive block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the bearing plate is provided with an arc-shaped groove for the movement of the rotating block, and the vertical plate is a thickened steel plate.

[0011] Preferably, the front of the vertical plate is equipped with a fitting device that further fits the clamping block into the external device.

[0012] Preferably, the bonding device includes a hydraulic chamber, which is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box. One end of the inner wall of the hydraulic chamber is slidably connected to a hydraulic rod via a piston, and the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the front of the drive block.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the clamping block is provided with a receiving groove, and an expansion bladder is fixedly connected to the inner wall side of the receiving groove. The expansion bladder is connected to the hydraulic chamber through a connecting hose, and the hydraulic chamber, the connecting hose, and the expansion bladder are filled with high-viscosity hydraulic oil.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-functional, multi-station rotary conveyor mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Utilizing the array layout of the first and second bolt holes, external devices can be installed in any position to adapt to different process requirements. External devices of different shapes can be manually and quickly clamped by knobs, lead screws, and clamping blocks without tools. The distance between the two vertical plates is adjustable, making it compatible with products of different sizes. The self-developed motherboard supports free programming and rich interfaces, and new programs can be quickly matched after hardware adjustments.

[0016] 2. When the drive block moves, it simultaneously squeezes the hydraulic rod, pushing high-viscosity hydraulic oil into the expansion bladder, causing it to expand and fill the gap. The flexible deformation of the expansion bladder can tightly wrap irregular surfaces (such as curved surfaces and protrusions), avoiding local stress concentration in traditional clamps.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a multi-functional multi-station rotary conveyor mechanism, including a vertical plate 1, a side plate 4 is bolted to the side of the vertical plate 1, a sprocket conveyor belt 5 is mounted on the back of the side plate 4, a support plate 6 is mounted on the top of the sprocket conveyor belt 5, and a fixing device 2 is mounted on the front of the vertical plate 1.

[0026] The fixing device 2 includes a first bolt hole 21, which is located on the front of the vertical plate 1. A second bolt hole 22 is located on the top of the vertical plate 1. A protective box 23 is fitted on the inner wall of the first bolt hole 21. A rotating rod 26 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective box 23 via a bearing. A rotating block 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 26. A movable rod 28 is hinged to the top of the rotating block 27. A clamping block 29 is hinged to the top of the movable rod 28. A support plate 25 for supporting the external device is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box 23. A drive assembly for driving the rotating block 27 to rotate is fitted on the front of the vertical plate 1.

[0027] A lead screw 212 is rotatably connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box 23 via a bearing. The lead screw 212 moves through the protective box 23, and its extension end extends toward the front of the protective box 23. A drive block 210 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 212.

[0028] A knob 24 is fixedly connected to the front of the lead screw 212, and a limit rod 211 is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box 23. The drive block 210 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod 211.

[0029] The inner wall of the bearing plate 25 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for the movement of the rotating block 27. The vertical plate 1 is a thickened steel plate used to support the external device of the vertical plate 1. The side of the vertical plate 1 is equipped with an interface for external power supply.

[0030] In practical use, the external device can be installed at any position on the vertical plate 1 through multiple first bolt holes 21 and second bolt holes 22, allowing for free and quick matching with various processes. If the external device is not bolted, it can be placed on top of the support plate 25. Rotating the knob 24 causes the lead screw 212 to rotate, which in turn moves the drive block 210 forward. The drive block 210 presses against the rotating block 27, which in turn moves the movable rod 28 to the left. The movable rod 28 then moves the clamping block 29 to fix the external device. By adjusting the distance between the two vertical plates 1 and the side plate 4, the width of the equipment can be quickly adjusted from 200-500mm. The fixtures can be quickly changed to match different products. The self-developed motherboard offers high programming freedom and rich interfaces.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] See Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the front of the vertical plate 1 is equipped with a fitting device 3 that further fits the clamping block 29 into the external device.

[0033] The bonding device 3 includes a hydraulic chamber 31, which is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the protective box 23. One end of the inner wall of the hydraulic chamber 31 is slidably connected to a hydraulic rod 32 via a piston, and the hydraulic rod 32 is fixedly connected to the front of the drive block 210.

[0034] The clamping block 29 has an inner wall with a receiving groove 35. An expansion bladder 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall side of the receiving groove 35. The expansion bladder 33 is connected to the hydraulic chamber 31 through a connecting hose 34. The hydraulic chamber 31, the connecting hose 34, and the expansion bladder 33 are filled with high-viscosity hydraulic oil.

[0035] When the above-mentioned device is used, the drive block 210 moves forward and squeezes the hydraulic rod 32. During the forward movement of the hydraulic rod 32, the piston squeezes the high-viscosity hydraulic oil inside the hydraulic chamber 31, pushing the hydraulic oil inside the hydraulic chamber 31 into the connecting hose 34 and the expansion bladder 33. When the expansion bladder 33 is filled with hydraulic oil, the expansion bladder 33 expands and further fits the external device. The expansion bladder 33 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which has high elasticity, tear resistance, and is suitable for repeated expansion and contraction.

[0036] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.
