Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, specifically a floating guide mechanism and a roller conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing grinding process of automotive longitudinal beam workpieces, a conveying mechanism is required to transfer them. However, most existing conveying mechanisms are ordinary roller conveying mechanisms, which use rollers to drive the longitudinal beam workpieces to move.
[0003] However, this conveying mechanism is only suitable for conveying single longitudinal beam workpieces one by one, which is inefficient. If multiple longitudinal beam workpieces are conveyed side by side, the lack of a corresponding guiding mechanism can cause the longitudinal beam workpieces to deviate or even collide during movement, which not only affects work efficiency but also poses safety hazards. For example, the Chinese patent document "A Lifting and Conveying Mechanism for Automobile Crossbeams" (patent application number: 202221362766.0) has the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating guide mechanism and a roller conveyor, which can realize the parallel conveying of multiple longitudinal beam workpieces, greatly improving the production capacity. At the same time, through the floating guide mechanism, the longitudinal beam workpieces can be guided to move, preventing them from deviating or even colliding.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a floating guide mechanism, including a crossbeam, on which at least one pair of sliding seats are provided; the two sliding seats in each pair are slidably disposed on the crossbeam, and each of the two sliding seats is provided with a guide wheel, which is used to abut against the two inner sidewalls of the longitudinal beam workpiece to guide the longitudinal beam workpiece to move; each pair of sliding seats is connected to an adjustment device, which is used to adjust the distance between the two sliding seats.
[0006] A further improvement is made in that: the adjusting device includes a guide cylinder, a pull rod, and two connecting rods arranged sequentially from bottom to top; the cylinder body of the guide cylinder is mounted on a fixed base, and the piston rod of the guide cylinder is connected to the lower end of the pull rod; a connecting block is provided at the upper end of the pull rod; the lower ends of the two connecting rods are respectively hinged to the connecting blocks, and the upper ends of the two connecting rods are respectively hinged to the corresponding sliding seats.
[0007] A further improvement is that the adjusting device also includes a guide block, which is fixedly connected to the crossbeam, and the pull rod slides through the guide block.
[0008] A further improvement is that a linear guide rail is provided on the crossbeam, and the sliding seat is slidably mounted on the linear guide rail.
[0009] A further improvement is that detection switches are provided at both ends of the crossbeam.
[0010] A further improvement is that four pairs of sliding seats are evenly spaced on the crossbeam.
[0011] This utility model also provides a roller conveyor, including a frame, on which a plurality of conveying rollers for conveying longitudinal beam workpieces are arranged and a motor transmission box for driving the conveying rollers to rotate. At least one floating guide mechanism as described above is provided on the frame.
[0012] A further improvement is that the conveying roller includes a rotating shaft, on which several pairs of conveying rollers are arranged, with the two conveying rollers of each pair spaced apart.
[0013] A further improvement is that each pair of conveyor rollers corresponds one-to-one with each pair of sliding seats in the floating guide mechanism.
[0014] A further improvement is that the bottom of the frame is equipped with adjustable feet.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model can realize the parallel conveying of multiple longitudinal beam workpieces, greatly improving production capacity. At the same time, through the floating guide mechanism, it can guide the movement of the longitudinal beam workpieces and prevent them from deviating or even colliding.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, when the detection switch detects a longitudinal beam workpiece, the guide cylinder extends and retracts to drive the connecting rod, causing the guide wheel on the linear guide rail to open and close, thereby allowing longitudinal beam workpieces of different inner widths to automatically approach each other and play a guiding role.
