[0021] 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.

[0022] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Combination Figures 1-6 The present invention relates to a circulating conveying device for the production of automotive parts, comprising a support frame 1, on which a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12 are arranged in parallel. A gearbox 13 is arranged on the side wall of one end of the support frame 1. The first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 are connected through the gearbox 13 to achieve reverse conveying. In addition, a drive motor 14 is arranged on the gearbox 13, and the drive motor 14 controls the operation of the gearbox 13 to drive the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 to work simultaneously.

[0024] Specifically, the gearbox 13 is equipped with an even number of gear bodies 131, which are connected in sequence. The gear bodies 131 located at the ends are connected to the transmission rollers of the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12, respectively. One of the gear bodies 131 is connected to the drive motor 14. The drive motor 14 drives the connected gear body 131 to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of all gear bodies 131. The gear bodies 131 located at the ends rotate in the opposite direction, which causes the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 to transport automotive parts in opposite directions.

[0025] Furthermore, an extension frame 2 is provided at the end of the support frame 1 away from the drive motor 14. Guide rods 21 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the extension frame 2. A guide plate 22 is sleeved on the guide rod 21. A support spring 23 is sleeved on the guide rod 21 below the guide plate 22. A limit plate 211 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rod 21. The limit plate 211 provides a limiting and supporting function for the support spring 23.

[0026] More specifically, the first conveyor belt 11 transports the parts in the direction of the extension frame 2, and the second conveyor belt 12 transports the parts in the opposite direction to the first conveyor belt 11. During the process of transporting the automotive parts, the first conveyor belt 11 inspects the automotive parts. Qualified products are transported to the next processing area through the guide plate 22, and unqualified products are transported in the opposite direction through the guide plate 22 to the second conveyor belt 12, and the unqualified products are transported back through the second conveyor belt 12, so as to realize the cyclic transport.

[0027] It should be understood that the bidirectional operation of the guide plate 22 is controlled by the electromagnet 24. The electromagnet 24 is movably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1 through a tension spring. An iron column 221 is provided at one end of the guide plate 22 near the electromagnet 24. The electromagnet 24 is provided with a groove that engages with the iron column 221. When the electromagnet 24 is energized, the iron column 221 is attracted by the electromagnet 24 through the groove.

[0028] Correspondingly, a groove 222 is provided on the guide plate 22, and a limit rod 223 is provided in the groove 222. The groove 222 is sleeved with the guide rod 21. A sliding groove 212 is provided on the guide rod 21, and the limit rod 223 is movably connected to the sliding groove 212. The guide plate 22 can move up and down within the sliding groove 212. The support spring 23 assists the guide plate 22 in resetting. After the automotive parts fall onto the guide plate 22, under its own weight, it pushes the guide plate 22 to sink. When a qualified product is encountered, the electromagnet 24 is energized, attracting one end of the guide plate 22. The product falls onto the guide plate 22, driving the guide plate 22 to sink. One end of the plate 22 with the groove 222 is lowered, and the other end of the guide plate 22 with the iron column 221 rotates. The guide plate 22 guides qualified products to the next station. When a defective product is encountered, the electromagnet 24 is de-energized, and the defective product is received by the guide plate 22. Under the action of gravity, the whole product moves down. The end of the guide plate 22 without spring support sinks more and contacts the second conveyor belt 12. In addition, the inclined surface of the guide plate 22 accelerates the movement of the defective product towards the second conveyor belt 12. Finally, under the action of the second conveyor belt 12, it is pushed back to the original station for reprocessing.

[0029] Working process: The drive motor 14 synchronously drives the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 through the even number of gear bodies 131 in the gearbox 13, so that the two run in opposite directions. When checking whether the product is qualified, the electromagnet 24 is continuously energized and attracts the iron column 221. Qualified products are caught by the guide plate 22. The guide plate 22 tilts and guides the product to the next station. When encountering unqualified products, the electromagnet 24 is de-energized, and the guide plate 22 moves down as a whole under the action of gravity. The tilted surface guides the product back to the second conveyor belt 12 and cycles to the original station. After the product leaves the guide plate 22, the support spring 23 and the limit rod 223 cooperate with the slide 212 to ensure that the guide plate 22 automatically resets after sorting.
