Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a simple conveying device for footwear. Background Technology
[0002] In footwear production lines, conveyor systems are needed to transport shoes between different workstations, reducing the time workers spend walking back and forth to retrieve them and increasing production efficiency. Existing technology, patent number CN202021801223.5, discloses a shoe last conveying device for a shoe manufacturing production line. This device uses multiple support rollers rotatably connected within a receiving cavity, with a conveyor belt mounted on each roller. The support rollers are driven by a motor to transport the shoe lasts. However, this motor-driven conveying system increases production costs and hinders subsequent maintenance when there are many workstations on the production line and the number of locations requiring conveying increases. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned above, and provides a simple footwear conveying device that can be placed at an angle between two operating stations and is rolled and conveyed by the weight of the footwear itself.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A simple footwear conveying device includes an inclined conveying base. Multiple sets of roller conveying assemblies are arranged side by side on the inclined conveying base. Each roller conveying assembly includes two support beams arranged parallel to each other on the inclined conveying base. A sliding groove is opened on one side of each of the two support beams facing each other. Several rollers are rotatably installed between the two sets of sliding grooves. The axial direction of all rollers in two adjacent sets of roller conveying assemblies is arranged in a figure-eight shape along the conveying direction of the inclined conveying base.
[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, all the roller components include a rotating shaft, on which a roller is rotatably mounted, and at both ends of the rotating shaft are provided sliders that can cooperate with the groove opening.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the rotating shaft is provided with limiting protrusions at both ends of the roller.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a number of separating and limiting members are provided between the two support beams in the same roller conveying assembly. The separating and limiting members are used to separate two adjacent sets of roller components.
[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the separating and limiting component includes a partition plate, and the two ends of the partition plate are provided with limiting blocks that can cooperate with the sliding groove.
[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, baffles are provided on both sides of the inclined conveying base.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a retaining groove door is hinged on one side of the output end of the inclined conveying base. A first magnetic block is provided inside the retaining groove door, and a second magnetic block that can cooperate with the first magnetic block is provided on both sets of baffles. The retaining groove door abuts against the ends of all the support beams.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0013] This utility model discloses a simple footwear conveying device. This device can be placed between two operating stations on a footwear production line. The height of the input end of the inclined conveying base is higher than the height of the output end. Without the need for an additional power source, the footwear can be conveyed to the output end using its own weight. While the footwear moves forward, the roller assembly can also rotate to reduce the resistance of the footwear's forward conveying, ensuring that the footwear can be smoothly conveyed to the next operating station. At the same time, the two adjacent sets of roller conveying components are arranged in a figure-eight shape, which can correct and ensure that the footwear is conveyed in a straight line. In addition, the roller assembly can be removed from the support beam for replacement and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a simple footwear conveying device, including an inclined conveying base 10. Multiple sets of roller conveying assemblies 20 are arranged side-by-side on the inclined conveying base 10. Each roller conveying assembly 20 includes two parallel support beams 21 arranged on the inclined conveying base 10. A groove 23 is provided on one side of each of the two support beams 21 facing each other. Several rollers 22 are rotatably mounted between the two sets of grooves 23. The axial direction of all rollers 22 in adjacent sets of roller conveying assemblies 20 is arranged in a figure-eight shape along the conveying direction of the inclined conveying base 10. This device can be used to convey semi-finished or finished footwear products such as shoe boxes and soles during production. The height of the input end of the inclined conveying base 10 is higher than the height of the output end, allowing it to be placed directly between two operating stations during use.
[0023] Specifically, the two adjacent sets of roller conveyor assemblies are arranged in a figure-eight shape. It should be noted that during the conveying process, each shoe is simultaneously supported and conveyed by the two adjacent sets of roller conveyor assemblies 20; that is, the two adjacent sets of roller conveyor assemblies 20 constitute a single conveying unit. Since the two adjacent sets of roller conveyor assemblies 20 can provide opposite lateral forces to the shoes, they guide and correct the direction of shoe transport, ensuring that the shoes are conveyed centered along the conveying direction. Furthermore, since the conveying distance between operating stations is generally about two meters, the distance is relatively short, and the conveying speed does not need to be too fast. Excessive conveying speed can easily cause the shoes to become skewed and disordered. The figure-eight arrangement also allows the rotation of the roller components 22 of the two adjacent sets of roller conveyor assemblies 20 to have a certain mutual locking effect, slowing down the conveying speed of the shoes and preventing them from being conveyed too quickly. Further, to prevent shoes from falling off the sides of the conveying device during the conveying process, baffles 11 are provided on both sides of the inclined conveying base 10.
[0024] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of this application, both roller components 22 include a rotating shaft 24, on which a roller 25 is rotatably mounted. Both ends of the rotating shaft 24 are provided with sliders 26 that can engage with a sliding groove 23. That is, the sliders 26 are inserted into the sliding groove 23, facilitating disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of damaged rollers 25. Furthermore, each end of the rotating shaft 24 is provided with a limiting protrusion 27 to prevent the roller 25 from shifting axially along the rotating shaft 14.
[0025] See further Figure 3 and Figure 4 To prevent adjacent rollers 22 within the same roller conveyor assembly 20 from moving and sticking together, thus hindering rotation, several separating and limiting members 30 are provided between the two support beams 21 within the same roller conveyor assembly 20. These separating and limiting members 30 are used to separate adjacent sets of rollers 22. Specifically, each separating and limiting member 30 includes a partition 31, with limiting blocks 32 at both ends that can cooperate with the groove 23. The height of the partition 31 should be lower than the height of the rollers 25 to prevent them from obstructing the forward movement of the shoes. The sliders 26 and limiting blocks 32 within the same groove 23 abut against each other sequentially to limit movement, preventing the rollers 22 from being pushed out of the groove 23 by the transported shoes.
[0026] Furthermore, a retaining gate 12 is hinged to one side of the output end of the inclined conveying base 10. A first magnetic block is provided inside the retaining gate 12, and a second magnetic block 13 that can cooperate with the first magnetic block is provided on both sets of baffles 11. The retaining gate 12 abuts against the ends of all the support beams 21. The retaining gate 12 is magnetically designed to close the chute opening 23, preventing the roller assembly 22 and the separating limiting member 30 from dislodging from the chute opening 23 during the conveying of footwear. It also facilitates opening the retaining gate 12 for maintenance purposes, allowing the removal of the roller assembly 22 and the separating limiting member 30.
[0027] This utility model discloses a simple footwear conveying device. This device can be placed between two operating stations on a footwear production line. The height of the input end of the inclined conveying base 10 is higher than the height of the output end. Without the need for an additional power source, the footwear can be conveyed to the output end using its own weight. While the footwear moves forward, the roller assembly 22 can also rotate to reduce the resistance of the footwear's forward conveying, ensuring that the footwear can be smoothly conveyed to the next operating station. At the same time, the two adjacent sets of roller conveying assemblies 20 are arranged in a figure-eight shape, which can correct and ensure that the footwear is conveyed in a straight line. In addition, the roller assembly 22 can be removed from the support beam 21 for replacement and maintenance, which is convenient for maintenance.
[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
