Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveyor technology, specifically relating to a synchronously driven reversing chain machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chain conveyors are a common type of conveying equipment that transports pallets containing goods by placing them on chains or chain shelves. However, during production, unforeseen circumstances may arise that require a trigger-activated shutdown of the conveyor line, with the connection restored once the situation is resolved. This necessitates a chain conveyor system that can automatically reverse its head in the event of an emergency.

[0003] Most commercially available chain tilting machines use three motors for driving: two for conveying and one for tilting. However, using three motors results in a heavier tilting section, necessitating the selection of larger motors for the tilting section, leading to higher costs and more complex installation steps. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a synchronously driven chain tilting machine to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a synchronously driven reversing chain machine to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a synchronously driven reversing chain machine, comprising:

[0006] A conventional segment chain machine includes a frame and a chain frame fixed to the top of the frame. Both ends of the chain frame are provided with conveyor sprockets. The two corresponding conveyor sprockets are connected by a conveyor chain. One end of the chain frame is provided with a rotating shaft that is keyed to the conveyor sprocket.

[0007] A reversing segment chain machine includes a second stand and a second chain frame fixed to the top of the second stand. Both ends of the second chain frame are provided with second conveyor sprockets. Corresponding two second conveyor sprockets are connected by a second conveyor chain. One end of the second chain frame is provided with a second rotating shaft that is keyed to the second conveyor sprocket.

[0008] A conveying drive module includes a mounting frame fixed to the bottom of a chain frame, a reduction motor fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame, a rotating shaft three in the middle of the mounting frame, and a plurality of transmission sprockets keyed to the rotating shaft three.

[0009] The flip drive module includes a reduction motor 2 fixed to one side of the second leg and a connecting rod fixedly connected between the first leg and the second leg. A bearing seat is fixed to the top of the connecting rod, and a rotating shaft 4 is provided between the two bearing seats. A transmission sprocket 3 is keyed to the rotating shaft 4.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second rotating shafts are keyed with a second transmission sprocket, and the two second transmission sprockets are connected to each other by a second transmission chain.

[0011] Furthermore, both conveyor chain one and conveyor chain two are provided in threes and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The top horizontal height of conveyor chain one and conveyor chain two is the same and not lower than the top horizontal height of transmission chain two.

[0012] Furthermore, there are a total of four transmission sprockets. One of the transmission sprockets is correspondingly set with the sprocket on the output shaft of the geared motor and connected to the transmission chain. The other three transmission sprockets are respectively correspondingly set with and meshed with three conveyor chains.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission sprocket three is configured to correspond to the sprocket on the output shaft of the reduction motor two and is connected to it via the transmission chain three.

[0014] Furthermore, the flip drive module also includes four transmission sprockets and two transmission chains. The four transmission sprockets are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft. Corresponding two transmission sprockets are connected by transmission chains.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The synchronously driven reversing chain machine shown includes:

[0026] The conventional chain conveyor 100 includes a frame 101 and a chain frame 102 fixed to the top of the frame 101. Both ends of the chain frame 102 are provided with conveyor sprockets 103. The corresponding two conveyor sprockets 103 are connected by a conveyor chain 104. One end of the chain frame 102 is provided with a rotating shaft 105 that is keyed to the conveyor sprockets 103. The conveyor chain 104 can drive the conveyor sprockets 103 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 105 to rotate together.

[0027] The flipping segment chain machine 200 includes a second stand 201 and a second chain frame 202 fixed to the top of the second stand 201. Both ends of the second chain frame 202 are provided with second conveyor sprockets 203. The corresponding two second conveyor sprockets 203 are connected by a second conveyor chain 204. One end of the second chain frame 202 is provided with a second rotating shaft 205 that is keyed to the second conveyor sprocket 203. When the second rotating shaft 205 rotates, it can drive the second conveyor sprocket 203 to rotate, thereby driving the second conveyor chain 204 to rotate together.

[0028] The conveying drive module 300 includes a mounting frame 301 fixed to the bottom of the chain frame 102. A reduction motor 302 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 301. A rotating shaft 303 is provided in the middle of the mounting frame 301. Several transmission sprockets 304 are keyed to the rotating shaft 303.

[0029] The flip drive module 400 includes a geared motor 401 fixed to one side of the second leg 201 and a connecting rod 402 fixedly connected between the first leg 101 and the second leg 201. A bearing seat 403 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 402. A rotating shaft 404 is provided between the two bearing seats 403. A transmission sprocket 405 is keyed to the rotating shaft 404.

[0030] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, both shaft 105 and shaft 205 are keyed with drive sprockets 206, and the two drive sprockets 206 are connected by drive chain 207.

[0031] In this technical solution, the first rotating shaft 105 is driven to rotate by the second transmission sprocket 206 and the second transmission chain 207. Then, the second rotating shaft 205 drives the second conveyor sprocket 203 and the second conveyor chain 204 to rotate, thus realizing power transmission. This allows the flipping section chain machine 200 to obtain power and transport goods without a motor.

[0032] For example, see Figure 1As shown, there are three conveyor chains 104 and 204, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The top of the conveyor chains 104 and 204 are at the same horizontal height and are not lower than the top of the transmission chain 207.

[0033] This technical solution ensures that goods can be transported from conveyor chain 104 to conveyor chain 204, and that the goods will not be interfered with by transmission chain 207 during the transport process, so that the transport of goods can proceed smoothly and stably.

[0034] For example, see Figures 1-3 As shown, there are four transmission sprockets 304. One of the transmission sprockets 304 is correspondingly set with the sprocket on the output shaft of the geared motor 302 and connected to the transmission chain 305. The other three transmission sprockets 304 are respectively set with the three conveyor chains 104 and are meshed with each other.

[0035] In this technical solution, the power of the geared motor 302 can be transmitted to the rotating shaft 105 through the transmission chain 305 and the transmission sprocket 304. The rotating shaft 105 drives the other three transmission sprockets 304 to rotate together, and the other three transmission sprockets 304 drive the corresponding conveyor chain 104 to rotate, thereby enabling the goods to move through the conveyor chain 104.

[0036] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the transmission sprocket 3 405 is correspondingly set on the sprocket on the output shaft of the geared motor 2 401 and connected by the transmission chain 3 406.

[0037] In this technical solution, the power of the geared motor 2 401 can be transmitted to the transmission sprocket 3 405 through the transmission chain 3 406, and then transmitted to the rotating shaft 404 by the transmission sprocket 3 405.

[0038] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the flip drive module 400 also includes four drive sprockets 407 and two drive chains 408. The four drive sprockets 407 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft 205 and the rotating shaft 404. Corresponding two drive sprockets 407 are connected by drive chains 408. Two drive sprockets 407 are keyed to the rotating shaft 404, and the other two drive sprockets 407 are movably connected to the rotating shaft 205 and fixedly connected to their corresponding chain frames 202.

[0039] In this technical solution, the rotation of the fourth shaft 404 can drive the two transmission sprockets 407 on the fourth shaft 404 to rotate together, and through the two transmission chains 408, drive the two transmission sprockets 407 on the second shaft 205 to rotate together. The two transmission sprockets 407 on the second shaft 205 can drive the two chain frames 202 to rotate. Since the two adjacent chain frames 202 are fixedly connected by a crossbar, they can simultaneously drive the three chain frames 202 to flip upwards, realizing the flipping of the flipping section chain machine 200. Since the two transmission sprockets 407 on the second shaft 205 are movably connected to the second shaft 205, the rotation of the second shaft 205 will not affect the flipping of the flipping section chain machine 200 when goods are being transported.

[0040] For example, see Figures 1-3 As shown, protective plates 106 are fixed to the top of both sides of the conventional chain machine 100.

[0041] This technical solution can guide and prevent goods from falling during transportation.

[0042] Working principle: When this synchronously driven tilting chain conveyor transports goods, the second geared motor 401 is started first. The second geared motor 401 drives the fourth shaft 404 to rotate through the third transmission chain 406 and the third transmission sprocket 405. Then, the fourth shaft 404 drives the fourth transmission sprocket 407 and the fourth transmission chain 408 to rotate, thereby driving the second chain frame 202 to tilt to a horizontal state. Then, the tray containing the goods is placed on the first conveyor chain 104. Then, the first geared motor 302 is started. The first geared motor 302 drives the first transmission chain 305 and the transmission sprocket... A drive chain 304 drives a rotating shaft 303 to rotate, which in turn drives a conveyor chain 104 to rotate via three other drive sprockets 304 on the rotating shaft 303. The conveyor chain 104 drives a rotating shaft 105 to rotate via the conveyor sprockets 103. The rotating shaft 105 drives a rotating shaft 205 to rotate via drive sprockets 206 and drive chain 207. The rotating shaft 205 drives a conveyor chain 204 to rotate via the conveyor sprockets 203. This allows the pallets and goods to be conveyed from the conventional section chain machine 100 to the tilting section chain machine 200. This synchronously driven tilting chain machine is advanced in design, compact in structure, and easy to use. It achieves both tilting and conveying functions by setting two motors, a geared motor 1 and a geared motor 2. One motor drives both conveying sections, while the other motor is solely responsible for the tilting function. This reduces the number of motors, which helps to reduce installation costs and installation steps.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
