Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics equipment technology, specifically to a roller conveyor that works in conjunction with a lifting transfer machine and a drop guide. Background Technology
[0002] As a widely used piece of equipment in logistics automation systems, the lifting transfer machine can switch the conveying direction at narrow vertical intersections, saving factory space. It is often used in conjunction with various types of conveyors, such as chain conveyors, roller conveyors, and belt conveyors.
[0003] In particular, when the lifting transfer machine is used in conjunction with the roller conveyor, when the lifting transfer machine needs to receive materials from other production lines, the stopping position of the conveyor belt of the lifting transfer machine is not very accurate because it does not have a physical limiting mechanism. The material is prone to getting stuck on the side plate of the conveyor when it falls, causing malfunctions. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that when existing lifting and transferring machines are used in conjunction with roller conveyors, there is no physical limiting mechanism, resulting in inaccurate material reception and easy jamming, which can cause malfunctions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A roller conveyor with a drop guide, used in conjunction with a lifting and transferring machine, is installed above the lifting and transferring machine and used in conjunction with the lifting and transferring machine's support arm. Its features include: a set of roller supports symmetrically mounted on the frame of the lifting and transferring machine; several rollers connected in parallel between two of the roller supports; and a drop guide bracket installed at the upper middle part of each of the two roller supports. The drop guide bracket is an angled support plate formed by bending and welding sheet metal.
[0007] A further improvement is that the two ends of several rollers are fastened to roller supports on both sides by fasteners to form a stable frame.
[0008] A further improvement is that the power ends of several rollers are connected by a chain and sprocket.
[0009] A further improvement is that a chain cover is provided outside the chain and sprocket, and the chain cover is installed on the upper end of the corresponding roller support by fasteners.
[0010] A further improvement is that the two falling guide brackets are respectively installed on the roller bracket and chain cover at corresponding positions by fasteners, forming a solid bracket with multiple surfaces fitting together.
[0011] A further improvement is that a protective plate is provided on the inner inclined surface of the drop guide bracket.
[0012] A further improvement is that the protective plate is made of nylon.
[0013] A further improvement is that the protective plate is installed on the inner inclined surface of the drop guide bracket by countersunk screws.
[0014] A further improvement is that several of the rollers are parallel to the lifting and transferring machine arm, and the lifting and transferring machine arm is located between two adjacent rollers.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following advantages:
[0016] By installing a drop guide bracket with a small-angle inclined panel and nylon plate, when the material received by the lifting transfer machine deviates slightly from the standard position, the material falling with the lifting transfer machine arm will be corrected in direction under the action of gravity after hitting the nylon plate of the drop guide bracket, ensuring that the material falls onto the roller conveyor and maintaining the stable operation of the logistics system. The nylon plate can prevent material wear and jamming, better ensuring operation. The structure is simple, robust and reliable, and can solve the problem of inaccurate positioning when material switching lines is not required by using high-cost electrical sensors, saving manufacturing costs.

[0024] See Figures 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a roller conveyor with a drop guide that works in conjunction with a lifting transfer machine, installed above the lifting transfer machine 8 and used in conjunction with the lifting transfer machine support arm 9, including a set of roller supports 2 symmetrically installed on the frame of the lifting transfer machine 8, several rollers 1 connected in parallel between two roller supports 2, and a drop guide support 5 installed at the upper middle part of each of the two roller supports 2, wherein the drop guide support 5 is an angled support plate made of sheet metal bent and welded together.
[0025] Among them, several of the rollers 1 are parallel to the lifting and transferring machine support arm 9, and the lifting and transferring machine support arm 9 is located between two adjacent rollers 1.
[0026] Among them, the two ends of several rollers 1 are locked to roller supports 2 on both sides by fasteners to form a stable frame.
[0027] The power ends of several rollers 1 are connected by a chain 4 and a sprocket 7.
[0028] The chain 4 and sprocket 7 are provided with chain covers 3, which are installed on the upper end of the corresponding roller support 2 by fasteners.
[0029] The two drop guide brackets 5 are respectively installed on the roller bracket 2 and chain cover 3 at corresponding positions by fasteners, forming a solid bracket with multiple surfaces fitting together.
[0030] A protective plate 6 is provided on the inner inclined surface of the drop guide bracket 5.
[0031] The protective plate 6 is a nylon plate.
[0032] The protective plate 6 is installed on the inner inclined surface of the drop guide bracket 5 by countersunk screws.
[0033] The fasteners can be screws or bolts.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model:
[0035] Both ends of the rollers are connected to the roller supports with fasteners. Multiple parallel rollers connected to the roller supports form a stable frame, ensuring overall stability. A chain guard is installed above the roller supports with fasteners, covering the sprockets and chains installed between the power ends of the rollers to prevent foreign objects from entering the transmission system and to protect personnel safety. The drop guide bracket is an angled bracket plate made of bent and welded sheet metal, which is installed in contact with both the roller supports and the chain guard, and locked to both with fasteners to form a robust, multi-faceted support structure. This ensures overall stability. The nylon sheet is installed on the angled inclined plate of the drop guide bracket using countersunk screws. When slightly misaligned material falls, it contacts the nylon sheet and corrects its direction under gravity. The properties of the nylon sheet also prevent material wear and jamming. If the material received by the lifting transfer machine deviates slightly from the standard position, the material falling with the lifting transfer machine's support arm will be corrected under gravity after hitting the nylon sheet of the drop guide bracket, ensuring that the material falls onto the roller conveyor and maintaining the stable operation of the logistics system.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions provided are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
