Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of production and processing technology, and specifically relates to a conveyor with an adjustable conveying angle. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial scenarios such as logistics sorting, production and processing, and warehousing and loading / unloading, conveyor belts are the core equipment for material transfer, and the flexibility of their conveying angle directly affects the overall operational efficiency. Currently, most conveyor belt equipment on the market suffers from fixed structures or complex adjustment methods. Especially in small and medium-sized enterprises and workshop environments, mainstream conveyor belts often adopt an integrated rigid design, which can only achieve single horizontal or fixed inclined angle conveying operations.
[0003] When production process adjustments require changing the conveyor belt loading and unloading direction (e.g., switching from left-side feeding and right-side discharging to right-side feeding and left-side discharging), the conveyor belt itself integrates drive components, conveyor frames, and other structures, making it large and heavy. A single person simply cannot move or turn it around; typically, 2-4 people are needed to work together using forklifts, jacks, and other auxiliary equipment. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also carries the risk of conveyor belt frame deformation and drive component displacement due to bumps and knocks during handling, thus affecting subsequent conveying accuracy and even increasing the risk of equipment failure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An adaptively adjustable conveyor includes a mounting plate and a conveyor belt body. An angle adjustment mechanism is installed between the mounting plate and the conveyor belt body. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a U-shaped seat fixed at the middle position of the bottom of the conveyor belt body. A support column is rotatably connected to the U-shaped seat. The support column is fixed to the mounting plate. Second U-shaped frames are slidably connected to both sides of the support column. Connecting plates are rotatably connected to the second U-shaped frames. First U-shaped frames are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the conveyor belt body. Two connecting plates are rotatably connected to two first U-shaped frames respectively. The angle adjustment mechanism also includes a drive motor mounted on the mounting plate. A transmission rod is fixed to the output end of the drive motor. A first winding reel and a second winding reel are fixed to the transmission rod. A first rope is provided between the first winding reel and one of the second U-shaped frames. A second rope is provided between the second winding reel and the other second U-shaped frame.

[0017] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a conveyor with an adjustable conveying angle includes a mounting plate 1 with pre-drilled bolt mounting holes at the bottom, which can be fixed to the ground or production line support to adapt to different installation scenarios.
[0019] The mounting plate 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt body 2 and a control host. An angle adjustment mechanism is installed between the conveyor belt body 2 and the mounting plate 1. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a U-shaped seat 15 fixed at the middle position of the bottom of the conveyor belt body 2. A support column 11 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped seat 15 by a pin. The bottom of the support column 11 is fixed above the mounting plate 1. A second U-shaped frame 10 is installed on both sides of the support column 11. A dovetail groove is opened on both sides of the support column 11. A dovetail slider that matches the dovetail groove is installed on the second U-shaped frame 10. Therefore, the second U-shaped frame 10 and the support column 11 are slidably connected by the cooperation of the dovetail groove and the dovetail slider. Through the shape characteristics of the dovetail groove and the dovetail slider, the second U-shaped frame 10 can be prevented from detaching from the support column 11 when moving.
[0020] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The second U-shaped frame 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 12 by pins. The bottom of the conveyor belt body 2 is fixed with the first U-shaped frame 9 near both ends. The two connecting plates 12 are rotatably connected to the two first U-shaped frames 9 by pins respectively.
[0021] The pin-rotation connection has the advantages of simple structure, convenient disassembly and assembly, and low maintenance cost compared with the traditional bolt fixing or bearing connection.
[0022] See attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The angle adjustment mechanism also includes a drive motor 3 mounted on the mounting plate 1 via a mounting base. A transmission rod 4 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 3. A first winding disc 5 and a second winding disc 7 are fixed to the outside of the transmission rod 4. A first rope 6 is provided in the groove on the outside of the first winding disc 5, and a second rope 8 is provided in the groove on the outside of the second winding disc 7.
[0023] The first rope 6 and the second rope 8 serve as the core transmission components of the angle adjustment mechanism, and can be made of materials that combine strength, toughness, and wear resistance, such as iron wire, steel wire, or nylon fiber.
[0024] One end of the first rope 6 is fixed to the first winding reel 5, and the other end of the first rope 6 is fixed above one of the second U-shaped frames 10 corresponding to its position.
[0025] One end of the second rope 8 is fixed to the second winding reel 7, and the other end of the second rope 8 is fixed to the bottom of one of the second U-shaped frames 10 corresponding to its position.
[0026] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 Two mounting blocks 14 are fixed to the outer side of the support column 11 near the bottom and the top, respectively, and guide wheels 13 are rotatably connected to the two mounting blocks 14;
[0027] The outer sides of both the first winding reel 5 and the second winding reel 7 are provided with grooves to guide the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 to wind in an orderly manner, avoiding the ropes from squeezing and knotting each other.
[0028] The guide wheel 13 has a V-shaped groove on its outer side for guidance and limiting. It can automatically center the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 to prevent them from deviating. It has a built-in rolling bearing with low rotational resistance to ensure that there is no jamming during retraction and deployment.
[0029] The two guide wheels 13 are located below the first rope 6 and above the second rope 8, respectively, and the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 are located in the grooves on the outer side of the two guide wheels 13.
[0030] The conveyor belt body 2 and drive motor 3 mentioned above are both electrically connected to the control host. The conveyor belt body 2, drive motor 3 and control host are all existing mature technologies and are widely used in industrial scenarios such as logistics sorting and production processing. Their structure and principle are not described in detail in this embodiment.
[0031] The above structure works as follows:
[0032] Initial setup: First, preset parameters, including the target rotation angle, are controlled by the host. In the initial state, the conveyor belt body 2 is in a horizontal position, the drive motor 3 is in a stopped and locked state, the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 are kept taut, and the mounting plate 1 is supported at the middle position of the bottom of the conveyor belt body 2.
[0033] The process of adjusting the angle at one end of the conveyor belt: After starting the drive motor 3, the transmission rod 4 rotates clockwise, driving the first winding reel 5 and the second winding reel 7 to rotate synchronously. The first rope 6 and the second rope 8 are respectively wound around the outside of the first winding reel 5 and the second winding reel 7. At this time, the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 respectively pull the two second U-shaped frames 10 to slide along the outside of the support column 11. Since the first rope 6 is connected to the top of one of the second U-shaped frames 10 and the second rope 8 is connected to the bottom of the other second U-shaped frame 10, and through the guiding and limiting effect of the two guide wheels 13, the two second U-shaped frames 10 slide in opposite directions on the outside of the support column 11. That is, one of the second U-shaped frames 10 connected to the first rope 6 slides downward along the outside of the support column 11, and the other second U-shaped frame 10 connected to the second rope 8 slides upward along the outside of the support column 11. The movement of the two second U-shaped frames 10 is achieved through their linkage with the first U-shaped frame 9, the connecting plate 12, the U-shaped seat 15 and the support column 11. At this time, one end of the conveyor belt body 2 is raised to complete the angle adjustment. At this time, the drive motor 3 stops working, and its built-in locking function keeps the first winding disc 5 and the second winding disc 7 fixed to prevent the two second U-shaped frames 10 from shifting.
[0034] The process of adjusting the other end of the conveyor belt: When it is necessary to raise the other end of the conveyor belt body 2, while keeping the conveyor belt body 2 in a horizontal state, the drive motor 3 is started again, and the transmission rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, driving the first winding reel 5 and the second winding reel 7 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the first rope 6 and the second rope 8 pull the two second U-shaped frames 10 to slide in the opposite direction along the outside of the support column 11 - that is, the second U-shaped frame 10 connected by the first rope 6 slides upward along the outside of the support column 11, and the second U-shaped frame 10 connected by the second rope 8 slides downward along the outside of the support column 11. With the linkage between the first U-shaped frame 9, the connecting plate 12, the U-shaped seat 15 and the support column 11, the other end of the conveyor belt body 2 is pushed to raise, completing the angle adjustment. At this time, the drive motor 3 stops working and locks, keeping the first winding reel 5 and the second winding reel 7 fixed, and preventing the two second U-shaped frames 10 from shifting.
[0035] Based on the above: This utility model:
[0036] More flexible bidirectional adjustment to adapt to various loading and unloading needs: There is no need to manually move the large and heavy conveyor belt body 2. The angle adjustment mechanism can achieve precise angle switching at both ends, which can flexibly adapt to material loading and unloading operations in different directions, such as feeding from the left and discharging from the right, or quickly switching to feeding from the right and discharging from the left. This effectively avoids the manpower consumption and equipment collision risks caused by the need to turn around and move traditional conveyor belts, and greatly improves the adaptability of the operation and the convenience of operation.
[0037] Single-power drive reduces costs and simplifies maintenance: This device only requires one drive motor 3 electronic device to complete the angle adjustment of both ends of the conveyor belt body 2. Compared with traditional hydraulic drive, which requires a hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder and sealed pipeline, pneumatic adjustment relies on a stable air pressure source and is prone to jamming, or multi-motor drive requires a complex collaborative control scheme, the transmission structure is simpler, reducing equipment procurement costs and subsequent operation and maintenance costs.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
