[0015] This utility model discloses a conveyor roller device for grinding the surface of steel plates. The device employs a staggered, triangular arrangement, facilitating close-range inspection and grinding of the steel plate surface by operators. The staggered arrangement of the rollers prevents narrow steel plates from falling off during grinding, thus eliminating safety hazards. Additionally, free support rollers with silicone surface material are installed on the outer side of the device. These support rollers can be used for grinding narrow plates (driven by the central roller conveyor) or for grinding steel plates approximately 4 meters wide, providing support. Furthermore, to increase the contact area between the rollers and the steel plate (i.e., the length of the roller surface) and reduce the overall size of the equipment, the transmission device is located on one side of the roller assembly and concentrated in the middle. This utility model achieves safe operation functions including grinding, inspection, testing, marking, and transportation, enabling operators to reliably perform these tasks. It reduces workload, minimizes maintenance costs such as spare parts consumption, improves personnel efficiency, and completely solves the problems mentioned in the background art, meeting the needs of actual production.
[0016] This utility model addresses the problems mentioned in the background art by using a roller conveyor to replace the chain conveyor, thus solving the bottleneck problem in the production line. It realizes a transmission roller conveyor device for steel plate surface grinding, which has safe operation functions such as grinding, inspection and testing, marking, and reciprocating transportation. It facilitates operators to reliably perform steel plate grinding, inspection, testing, marking, and transportation, reduces workload, reduces maintenance costs such as spare parts and materials, improves personnel efficiency, and meets the actual production needs.
[0017] The present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: The present invention provides a conveyor roller device for grinding the surface of steel plates, characterized in that the design adopts a staggered triangular arrangement, which facilitates close-range inspection and grinding of the steel plate surface by operators. Due to the staggered arrangement of the rollers, the safety hazard of narrow steel plates falling off during grinding is eliminated. At the same time, free rollers with silicone material on the surface are also provided on the outside of the device. These rollers can be used to grind narrow plates, driven by the middle roller conveyor, or to grind steel plates with a width of about 4 meters, where the rollers can provide support. In order to increase the contact area between the rollers and the steel plate, i.e., the length of the roller surface, and reduce the overall size of the equipment, the transmission device is set on one side of the roller group and concentrated in the middle.
[0018] The device includes a roller conveyor support, bearing seats, roller assemblies, a transmission device, and idlers. The roller conveyor support is a staggered roller base with a triangular arrangement, located at the bottom of the device. The roller conveyor support is welded from 30mm thick steel plates and then undergoes overall heat treatment to eliminate welding stress. The bearing seats are precision-machined to determine the mounting reference surface. A steel plate connects the bearing seats on both sides in the middle of the roller conveyor support, while leaving a certain space at the bottom to facilitate the laying of electrical cable trays and cable routing. It also includes roller assemblies mounted on the frame and roller surfaces with a rubber coating. The rubber coating eliminates direct contact between the lower surface of the steel plate and the steel roller surface, reducing secondary scratches during grinding, measurement, inspection, and transportation, and stabilizing the surface quality of the steel plate. The roller assembly consists of a roller body... The roller, bearing, end cap, and through cap are connected to the bearing seats at both ends. The roller is designed as a hollow structure. The roller body is a barrel-shaped cylindrical structure with an outer diameter of 400mm and a thickness of 10mm. The roller shaft is supported by a support ring for a shaft with a diameter of 210mm and a length of 1533mm. The roller shaft is installed inside the bearing seats through the bearings at both ends. The side of the bearing seat that extends out of the shaft is equipped with a through cap, and the closed side is equipped with an end cap, which is used to seal the bearing and reduce dust pollution. The through cap is installed at both ends of the bearing seat by fixing bolts. The bearing seat is fixed to the precision-machined reference surface of the roller support with M20 bolts with a length of 230mm. The bearing is a self-aligning roller bearing with an outer diameter oil groove, which can withstand a large load and has good self-aligning performance. It can automatically adjust the tilt or deflection of the shaft caused by the angular error between the shaft and the bearing seat. This type of bearing has a large load capacity, capable of withstanding radial loads as well as bidirectional axial loads, and possesses good impact resistance. The bearing housings on both sides of the roller assembly have one free end and one fixed end, facilitating installation and control of thermal deformation. A transmission device is installed on the extended shaft side of the fixed-end roller. This transmission device is a direct-drive type with a motor and reducer, coaxial with the roller assembly and employing a suspended torque arm hollow shaft design. Installed on one side of the roller assembly, it enables reciprocating operation of the roller assembly, meeting production process requirements. The torque arm bracket is used to position the suspended motor and reducer, preventing damage during operation. The roller extends from the shaft side. The transmission reducer is connected to the fixed end of the roller assembly via a hollow shaft key. The bearing is axially positioned between the bearing housing and the reducer by a top sleeve mounted on the shaft. The top sleeve is fixedly connected to the roller shaft by a key. At the same time, the reducer side of the top sleeve contacts the hollow shaft of the reducer drive, so that there is no relative movement or mutual friction between the bearing inner ring, the top sleeve, the hollow shaft of the reducer, and the roller shaft during rotation. Then, the reducer is positioned by a nut at the extended shaft end to achieve connection. On both sides of the device, there are also support rollers, which are also hollow free rollers. The support rollers are made of steel plates that can be ground to a width of about 4 meters, and the support rollers can play a role in side support.The idler roller bracket is located on the closed side of the roller assembly bearing housing. Adding idler rollers can increase the width of the steel plate to be transported during grinding, thereby increasing production. Since a cover is installed on the protruding shaft side of the roller assembly bearing housing, a skeleton seal needs to be installed on the inner ring of the cover to prevent dust from entering.
[0019] The device consists of 20 sets of roller assemblies and transmission devices, which can be configured and installed according to the length of different steel plates to meet the surface grinding production operations of steel plates of different specifications. At the same time, in order to meet the connection between upstream and downstream processes, the roller conveyor is designed with an elevation of 800mm above the ground, which can realize online inspection, testing, grinding, marking, transportation and other functions, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0020] Because the transmission device of this device adopts a suspended torque arm hollow design, when the motor of the transmission device starts running, it drives the internal mechanism of the transmission device to rotate, and transmits torque to the hollow shaft of the transmission device. The extension shaft of the roller assembly passes through the hollow shaft. The extension shaft of the roller assembly is connected to the hollow shaft through the positioning key installed on the extension shaft of the roller assembly. The torque is transmitted to the hollow shaft and then to the extension shaft of the roller assembly. The extension shaft rotates through the bearings installed on both sides of the shaft, driving the steel plate on the roller body of the roller assembly to move, thus meeting the production needs.
[0021] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the structural features protected by the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
