Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering and conveying technology, specifically a steering conveyor based on engine cylinder head machining. Background Technology
[0002] A steering conveyor is a logistics conveying equipment primarily used for transporting goods through turning points, commonly found in industries such as electronics, food, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. Its core structure includes a conveyor belt, a drive unit, a turning mechanism, and a support frame. The drive unit moves the conveyor belt to achieve the directional transport of goods.
[0003] For example, publication number CN216470657U, publication date May 10, 2022, titled "A Steering Device for an Engine Assembly Line," includes a conveying device and a steering device. Several conveying devices are provided, and the steering device is arranged among them. The steering device includes a fixed base and a steering wheel, with the steering wheel and the fixed base rotatably connected. The conveying device includes a conveyor seat and a conveyor pallet, with the conveyor pallet positioned on the upper side of the conveyor seat. The engine is transported via the conveying devices, and the steering device allows the engine to be steered on the conveying devices. This device places the engine on the conveyor pallet, and the conveyor wheels transport the pallet, reducing the pressure of the engine on the surface of the conveying devices, lowering the pressure on the conveying devices, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0004] In the prior art, the engine cylinder head is transported to the steering mechanism by a conveying mechanism. After the steering mechanism rotates, the engine cylinder head is then transported to another conveying mechanism, thus completing the steering transport. However, during the rotation of the steering mechanism, due to the lack of a limiting structure for the engine, the engine cylinder head undergoes a large positional shift under the action of centrifugal force. On the one hand, this easily causes wear on the engine cylinder head; on the other hand, it is necessary to reposition the engine cylinder head after steering. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steering conveyor based on engine cylinder head machining to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steering conveyor based on engine cylinder head machining, comprising:
[0007] Two conveyor frames;
[0008] A steering mechanism is disposed between two conveyor frames; the steering mechanism includes a frame, a turntable rotatably connected to the frame, and multiple steering rollers rotatably connected to the turntable;
[0009] The engine cylinder head abuts against each steering roller; multiple grooves are provided on both sides of the engine cylinder head.
[0010] The limiting mechanism includes two limiting components mounted on the turntable; each limiting component includes two positioning rods that slide along the radial direction of the turntable, and the two positioning rods are respectively engaged with each groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes a support plate fixedly connected to the turntable, on which two slide cylinders are fixedly connected. The two positioning rods are slidably connected to the two slide cylinders in a corresponding manner, and an elastic element is provided between each positioning rod and its corresponding slide cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the positioning rod, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the vertical rod, a drive rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod, the drive rod is slidably connected to the support plate, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the frame, a stroke groove is opened on the fixed plate, and the end of the vertical rod passes through the turntable and extends into the stroke groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the slide tube has a through groove for the vertical rod to slide.
[0014] Furthermore, the support plate has a straight groove for the drive rod to slide.
[0015] Furthermore, the travel groove is composed of interconnected radial sections, coaxial sections, and distal sections.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a steering conveyor based on engine cylinder head processing. By setting a limiting mechanism, during the process of conveying the engine cylinder head above the steering roller, the positioning rod can avoid the groove of the engine cylinder head, thereby preventing the engine cylinder head from being unable to continue to be conveyed. When the engine cylinder head stops being conveyed, the positioning rod is inserted into the groove to limit the engine cylinder head. The rotation of the turntable drives the engine cylinder head to turn. At the end of the turn, the positioning rod is passively pulled out of the groove, so that the steering roller can move the engine cylinder head onto the conveyor frame. This avoids a large positional shift of the engine cylinder head during the rotation, reduces the wear of the engine cylinder head, and eliminates the need for repositioning after the turn.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a steering conveyor based on engine cylinder head processing, comprising: two conveyor frames 1; specifically, multiple rollers are rotatably connected to the conveyor frames 1, and a drive source for driving the rollers to rotate is provided on the conveyor frames 1; this is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] A steering mechanism is disposed between two conveyor frames 1. The steering mechanism includes a frame 2, a turntable 3 rotatably connected to the frame 2, and multiple steering rollers 4 rotatably connected to the turntable 3. It is understood that the frame 2 is respectively provided with a drive source for driving the steering rollers 4 to rotate, and a drive source for driving the turntable 3 to rotate 90 degrees in both directions. An engine cylinder head 5 abuts against each steering roller 4. Multiple grooves 51 are provided on both sides of the engine cylinder head 5.
[0028] The limiting mechanism 6 includes two limiting components mounted on the turntable 3. Each limiting component includes two positioning rods 63 that slide radially along the turntable 3, and the two positioning rods 63 are respectively engaged with the grooves 51. The positioning rods 63 have abutting inclined surfaces that abut against the side wall of the engine cylinder head 5. The orientation of the abutting inclined surfaces of each positioning rod 63 is the direction of the conveying of the engine cylinder head 5. Specifically, the limiting component also includes a support plate 61 fixedly connected to the turntable 3, and two slide cylinders 62 fixedly connected to the support plate 61. The two slide cylinders 62 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 61. The two positioning rods 63 are slidably connected to the two slide cylinders 62 one-to-one. An elastic element 64 is provided between each positioning rod 63 and its corresponding slide cylinder 62. Specifically, the elastic element 64 is a compression spring. The process of the elastic element 64 deforming and contracting drives the positioning rod 63 to move out of the groove 51.
[0029] The specific structure for driving the positioning rod 63 to slide is as follows: a vertical rod 65 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 63. Specifically, a through groove 621 for the vertical rod 65 to slide is provided on the slide cylinder 62. The through groove 621 can prevent the vertical rod 65 from interfering with the slide cylinder 62 during the synchronous sliding process with the positioning rod 63. A connecting rod 66 is rotatably connected to the vertical rod 65. A driving rod 67 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 66. The driving rod 67 is slidably connected to the support plate 61. Specifically, a straight groove 611 for the driving rod 67 to slide is provided on the support plate 61. A fixed plate 68 is fixedly connected to the frame 2. A stroke groove is provided on the fixed plate 68. The end of the vertical rod 65 passes through the turntable 3 and extends into the stroke groove. The stroke groove is composed of a radial section 681, a coaxial section 682, and a remote section 683 that are interconnected.
[0030] Preferably, a baffle (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 63. The baffle can limit the distance that the engine cylinder head 5 is transported. Under the action of the baffle, the positioning rod 63 is aligned with the position of one of the grooves 51.
[0031] Working principle: During use, one of the conveyor frames 1 conveys the engine cylinder head 5 to the position of the steering roller 4. During the conveying process, since the positioning rod 63 is provided with an abutting inclined surface and the engine cylinder head 5 has multiple grooves 51, the positioning rod 63 will be driven to engage with each groove 51 during the movement of the engine cylinder head 5, and the positioning rod 63 will move back and forth in the slide cylinder 62. Under the action of the connecting rod 66, the drive rod 67 will be driven to slide back and forth in the straight groove 611 and the radial section 681 until the engine cylinder head 5 abuts against the baffle. At this time, under the action of the elastic element 64, the positioning rod 63 is inserted into the groove 51 at the far end of one side of the engine cylinder head 5, thereby limiting the position of the engine cylinder head 5.
[0032] Subsequently, the turntable 3 rotates, causing the engine cylinder head 5 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the engine cylinder head 5 rotates to the position of another conveyor frame 1. During this process, the drive rod 67 slides in the coaxial section 682. As the rotation continues, when the drive rod 67 slides from the coaxial section 682 into the distal section 683, under the abutment action of the drive rod 67 and the side wall of the distal section 683, the drive rod 67 slides in the straight groove 611. Through the connection of the connecting rod 66, the drive rod 67 drives the positioning rod 63 to slide and retract into the slide cylinder 62, thereby releasing the positioning rod 63 from the groove 51. Then, the steering roller 4 rotates, conveying the engine cylinder head 5 to another conveyor frame 1, and the other conveyor frame 1 then conveys the engine cylinder head 5 again.
[0033] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
