Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0030] This utility model provides a sheet metal rotary conveyor, solving the technical problem that sheets easily shift during conveying in current rotary conveyors. The sheet metal rotary conveyor includes a base 1, a track 2, a rotating component 3, a conveyor 4, a limiting component 5, and a limiting plate 6, wherein:

[0031] The base 1 is installed on the ground or other supporting surface to provide an installation position for other components and a stable platform for conveying sheet metal.

[0032] The track 2 is mounted on the base 1. The track 2 is circular and the base 1 is used to support the track 2. The rotating part 3 is mounted on the track 2 and moves along the track 2 so that the rotating part 3 rotates around the track 2 axis.

[0033] The conveyor 4 is mounted on the rotating component 3. The rotating component 3 drives the conveyor 4 to rotate. The plate to be conveyed is placed on the conveyor 4. The conveyor 4 is used to receive the plate to be rotated and conveyed, and to output the rotated plate. Specifically, the plate to be rotated and conveyed is moved onto the conveyor 4, and then the rotating component 3 moves along the track 2, thereby driving the conveyor 4 to rotate along the axis of the track 2, thereby changing the direction of the plate on the conveyor 4. When the plate rotates to the predetermined position, the conveyor 4 outputs the plate after the rotation has changed direction.

[0034] The limiting member 5 is installed on the base 1. The limiting member 5 is used to limit the rotating member 3, so that the rotating member 3 stops moving after moving along the track 2 to the designated position, so that the conveyor 4 on the rotating member 3 can transport the plate.

[0035] The limiting plate 6 is installed on the rotating part 3. When the rotating part 3 drives the plate on the conveyor 4 to rotate, as the rotating part 3 moves, the limiting plate 6 abuts against the limiting part 5, thereby blocking the movement of the rotating part 3 and causing the conveyor 4 to face the designated position so that the conveyor 4 can transport the plate in the designated direction.

[0036] With the above structure, the sheet metal rotary conveyor 4 provided by this utility model, when conveying sheet metal, moves the sheet metal onto the conveyor 4, and then the rotating component 3 rotates along the track 2, causing the sheet metal to rotate in the desired direction. When the sheet metal rotates to the desired position, the limiting component 5 abuts against the limiting plate 6, thereby preventing the rotating component 3 from continuing to rotate. The conveyor 4 then outputs the sheet metal, completing the sheet metal conveying process. Therefore, when the sheet metal rotary conveyor 4 is rotaryly conveying the sheet metal, the abutting of the limiting component 5 and the limiting plate 6 ensures that the sheet metal can be output at a predetermined position. The output position of the sheet metal is relatively fixed each time, reducing the risk of conveying failure due to inaccurate output position and improving the conveying efficiency of the sheet metal.

[0037] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The limiting member 5 includes a fixed plate 51 and a limiting rod 52. The fixed plate 51 is installed on the base 1 and can be fixed to the base 1 by bolts or other means. The installation position of the fixed plate 51 can be specifically set according to the direction of rotation required by the plate. The limiting rod 52 is screwed onto the fixed plate 51, and the axial direction of the limiting rod 52 is perpendicular to the fixed plate 51. When limiting the rotating member 3, one end of the limiting rod 52 abuts against the limiting plate 6, and the axial direction of the limiting rod 52 is perpendicular to the limiting plate 6, so that the limiting plate 6 applies a force along the axial direction of the limiting rod 52 to the limiting rod 52. By adjusting the length of the limiting rod 52 extending from the fixed plate 51 near the limiting plate 6, the moving distance of the rotating member 3 can be finely adjusted according to the direction of rotation required by the plate, so that the direction of rotation of the conveyor 4 is more accurate.

[0038] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: at least two limiting members 5 are provided, and both limiting members 5 are installed on the base 1. When the plate is continuously conveyed, the limiting plate 6 moves between the two limiting members 5, so that the conveyor 4 is aligned with the input end and the output end of the plate respectively, so that the conveyor 4 is directed to convey the plate to the designated position.

[0039] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes a buffer block 7, which is installed on the limiting plate 6. The buffer block 7 is located on the side of the limiting plate 6 that abuts against the limiting rod 52. The buffer block 7 is used to absorb and disperse impact energy and reduce the instantaneous impact force on the limiting plate 6.

[0040] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: In order to facilitate the movement of the rotating component 3, the plate rotary conveyor 4 also includes a roller 8. The roller 8 is rotatably installed on the side of the rotating component 3 near the base 1. The roller 8 abuts against the track 2 and moves relative to it, thereby driving the rotating component 3 to move along the track 2. The roller 8 is used to reduce the friction between the rotating component 3 and the track 2 and speed up the rotation of the rotating component 3. The roller 8 avoids direct contact and friction between the rotating component 3 and the track 2, thus extending the service life of the track 2 and the rotating component 3.

[0041] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: In order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating component 3, the plate rotary conveyor 4 further includes a first gear 9, a second gear 10, and a drive motor 11. The first gear 9 is mounted on the base 1, and the second gear 10 is mounted on the rotating component 3. The first gear 9 and the second gear 10 mesh with each other. The drive motor 11 is mounted on the base 1 and is connected to the first gear 9 in a transmission connection. The drive motor 11 drives the first gear 9 to rotate and applies force to the second gear 10, thereby driving the second gear 10 to rotate, and then driving the rotating component 3 to move on the track 2, thereby realizing the rotation of the conveyor 4.

[0042] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: To facilitate the adjustment of the height of the track 2, the sheet metal rotary conveyor 4 further includes a mounting plate 12, which is mounted on the base 1 to provide a stable mounting position. Two support rods 13 are provided, both of which are mounted on the mounting plate 12. The two support rods 13 are parallel in axis and extend towards the rotating part 3. A support plate 14 is mounted on two screws. A slot adapted to the support plate 14 is provided on the track 2. The support plate 14 is installed in the slot to support the track 2. By adjusting the position of the support plate 14 on the support rod 13, the height of the support plate 14 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the track 2. This allows for adjusting the height of the conveyor 4 according to different usage scenarios, so as to facilitate the conveying of sheet metal in different scenarios.

[0043] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: It also includes a transition roller 15, which is rotatably mounted on the rotating part 3. The axis of the transition roller 15 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor 4. When the plate moves onto or off the conveyor 4, the plate abuts against the transition roller 15. As the plate moves, the transition roller 15 rotates, reducing the friction between the plate and the conveyor 4, making the movement of the plate smoother and less strenuous.

[0044] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: It also includes a detection photoelectric sensor 16, which is installed on the conveyor 4. The detection photoelectric sensor 16 can be used to detect the position of the conveyor 4. When the detection photoelectric sensor 16 detects that the rotating part 3 has moved to the designated position, the plate is conveyed to the conveyor 4 or the conveyor 4 outputs the plate. The detection photoelectric sensor 16 can also be used to detect the position of the plate. When the detection photoelectric sensor 16 detects that the plate is completely located on the conveyor 4, the drive motor 11 drives the rotating part 3 to rotate the plate to the designated direction. When the detection photoelectric sensor 16 detects that the conveyor 4 has output all the plate, the drive motor 11 drives the rotating part 3 to reset.

[0045] In summary, when conveying sheet metal, the sheet metal is moved onto the conveyor 4 via the transition roller 15. Then, the drive motor 11 drives the rotating component 3 to rotate axially along the track 2, and the roller 8 rolls along the track 2, thereby driving the conveyor 4 to rotate and causing the sheet metal to rotate in the desired direction. When the sheet metal rotates to the desired position, the limiting component 5 abuts against the buffer pad, and the limiting plate 6 blocks the limiting component 5 from moving further, thus preventing the rotating component 3 from continuing to rotate. The conveyor 4 then outputs the sheet metal, completing the sheet metal conveying process. Therefore, when the sheet metal is rotated and conveyed, the sheet metal is output at a predetermined position through the abutment of the limiting component 5 and the limiting plate 6. The output position of the sheet metal is relatively fixed each time, reducing the risk of sheet metal conveying failure due to inaccurate output position and improving the conveying efficiency of the sheet metal.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
