Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lead-acid battery production technology, specifically relating to a lead ingot conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of lead-acid batteries, lead ingots first need to be transported to a lead melting furnace for melting into initial plates. In existing technologies, because the inlet of the lead melting furnace is installed at a high position above the ground, a special conveying device is required to transport the lead ingots. Specifically, this is achieved by a combination of a horizontal conveying device and a vertical lifting device. However, when using hoisting equipment such as cranes for vertical lifting, the efficiency is low because it does not meet the requirements of continuous production. A vertical conveyor chain combined with a strut structure can achieve vertical transport of lead ingots, ensuring the continuity of lead ingot transport while also being more efficient. However, during the transport of lead ingots, if the lead ingots are tilted during horizontal transport, it is easy for only a portion of the subsequent lead ingots to be on the corresponding struts. After being raised, the lead ingots are partially exposed outside the struts, which poses a risk of falling during the lifting process. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the problem of existing lead ingot conveying and lifting methods that use support rods on a vertical conveyor chain in conjunction with a horizontal conveyor chain. In horizontal conveying, if the lead ingot tilts, only a portion of it may remain on the corresponding support rod. After being lifted, the ingot is partially exposed outside the support rod, posing a risk of falling during the lifting process. This invention provides a lead ingot conveying device that uses a rotating metal disc in conjunction with a magnetic block. The magnetic force and friction of the disc drive a push rod to push the lead ingot towards the vertical double-row conveyor chain, ensuring the ingot is close to the inner end of the lifting rod and reducing the risk of jamming and falling.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A lead ingot conveying device includes a horizontal double-row conveyor chain, a vertical double-row conveyor chain, and a drive mechanism. The two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain are located on opposite sides of the ends of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain. Multiple lifting rods are symmetrically arranged on the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain. The lifting rods are evenly distributed on the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain. The horizontal double-row conveyor chain conveys the lead ingot horizontally, and then the vertical double-row conveyor chain lifts the lead ingot vertically by lifting the lifting rods.
[0006] The horizontal double-row conveyor chain is rotatably connected between the two conveyor chains by a connecting shaft and two adjusting devices located at both ends of the connecting shaft. Each adjusting device includes two metal discs fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft. Annular grooves are symmetrically formed on opposite sides of the two metal discs. Magnet blocks are disposed on the two metal discs, with their sides corresponding to the two annular grooves. A push rod extending between the two metal discs is fixedly disposed on the outer side of the magnet block. The driving mechanism drives the horizontal double-row conveyor chain, the vertical double-row conveyor chain, and the adjusting devices. The rotation of the metal discs causes the magnet blocks and push rods to rotate, pushing and tightening the lead ingots onto the vertical double-row conveyor chain. Simultaneously, the tightening force is the frictional force of the magnet blocks sliding within the annular grooves.
[0007] Preferably, the distance between the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain is less than the length of the lead ingot, the length of the lifting rod is greater than the width of the lead ingot, the distance between two adjacent lifting rods on the same conveyor chain is greater than the thickness of the lead ingot, and the distance by which the top rod extends out of the metal disc is greater than the thickness of the lead ingot, so as to ensure the dimensional relationship between the lead ingot and the conveying structure and to ensure smooth conveying.
[0008] Preferably, a horizontal conveyor belt is provided at the upper end of the descending side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain. The horizontal conveyor belt extends to the lead melting furnace. The lead ingots that have been lifted by the vertical double-row conveyor chain fall onto the horizontal conveyor belt and are transported to the lead melting furnace.
[0009] Preferably, the lead ingot conveying device further includes a frame, on which both the horizontal double-row conveyor chain and the vertical double-row conveyor chain are mounted. A guide plate is fixedly mounted on the frame, with one end of the guide plate located above the vertical double-row conveyor chain and the other end extending above the horizontal conveyor belt. Two through slots are provided on the guide plate, corresponding to the lifting rods. The guide plate ensures that the lead ingots fall onto the horizontal conveyor belt, and the through slots prevent interference between the guide plate and the lifting rods.
[0010] Preferably, a protective net is provided on the lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain. The protective net covers the lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain, which further prevents lead ingots from falling, while not affecting the observation of the lifting of lead ingots.
[0011] Preferably, protrusions are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the end of the lifting rod to limit the lifting of the lead ingot.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a horizontal double-row conveyor chain to transport lead ingots. When the ingots are transported to the vicinity of the lead melting furnace, they are stacked on lifting rods symmetrically arranged on the vertical double-row conveyor chain, and then transported vertically upward to complete the lifting of the lead ingots.
[0014] 2. This utility model, while conveying lead ingots, drives the connecting shaft to rotate the metal disc. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet, the magnet and the push rod rotate with the metal disc. The push rod then presses the lead ingot at the end of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain against the lower end of the vertical double-row conveyor chain. Under the action of the lead ingot, the push rod and the metal disc rotate relative to each other, thus overcoming the magnetic force or friction between the magnet and the metal disc. When the lifting rod reaches the lower end of the lead ingot, it lifts and conveys the lead ingot. Furthermore, when the lead ingot deviates at an angle during the conveying process on the horizontal double-row conveyor chain, the two push rods are used to reset it, matching and corresponding with the lifting rod, ensuring that the entire lead ingot is positioned on the corresponding lifting rod during conveying.
[0015] 3. When the lead ingot of this utility model is conveyed to the top of the vertical double-row conveyor chain, it flips over and falls onto the horizontal conveyor belt under the guidance of the guide plate, and is finally transported into the lead melting furnace. The groove on the guide plate avoids interference with the lifting rod, so that the upper inner side of the guide plate can be set close to the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain, ensuring that the lead ingot falls on the outer side of the guide plate.
[0016] 4. This utility model sets protrusions at both ends of the lifting rod on the side that contacts the lead ingot, thereby limiting the lifting process of the lead ingot. On the one hand, it ensures that the lead ingot sits in a groove-like position between the two protrusions, ensuring the stability of the lead ingot during the transportation process and reducing the risk of it falling. On the other hand, it facilitates the positioning of the lead ingot and ensures the consistency of the position of the corresponding upper and lower lead ingots during the transportation process.
[0017] 5. The protective netting in this invention effectively prevents lead ingots from falling during the conveying and lifting process, while also allowing workers to observe the lead ingot conveying process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0029] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a lead ingot conveying device, including a horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1, a vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, and a drive mechanism 3. The lead ingot conveying device also includes a frame 10. The horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 and the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 are both mounted on the frame 10. The two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 are located on both sides of the end of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1. Multiple lifting rods 4 are symmetrically arranged on the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. The lifting rods 4 are evenly distributed on the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. The distance between the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 is less than the length of the lead ingot. The length of the lifting rod 4 is greater than the width of the lead ingot. The distance between two adjacent lifting rods 4 on the same conveyor chain is greater than the thickness of the lead ingot. When the lead ingot conveyed by the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 reaches its conveying end, it is fixed on the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. As the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 rotates, the lifting rods 4 lift the lead ingot, realizing the vertical conveying of the lead ingot.
[0030] Both the upper and lower sides of the lifting rod 4 are provided with protrusions 14. When lifting the lead ingot, the lead ingot is located between the two protrusions 14. The two protrusions 14 located at both ends of the upper side of the lifting rod 4 are used to position and limit the lead ingot, ensuring that it is located above the middle of the lifting rod 4, while reducing the probability of it falling.
[0031] A connecting shaft 5 and two adjusting devices located at both ends of the connecting shaft 5 are rotatably arranged between the two conveyor chains of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1. Each adjusting device includes two metal discs 6 fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 5. The rotation of the connecting shaft 5 drives the metal discs 6 to rotate. Annular grooves 7 are symmetrically opened on opposite sides of the two metal discs 6. Magnet blocks 8 are provided on the two metal discs 6, with their sides corresponding to the two annular grooves 7. A push rod 9 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the magnet block 8, extending between the two metal discs 6. The push rod 9 extends out of the metal discs 6. The distance is greater than the thickness of the lead ingot. The magnet 8 achieves synchronous rotation with the metal disk 6 through magnetic attraction. Consequently, the push rod 9 rotates synchronously with the metal disk 6, thus pressing the lead ingot conveyed by the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 against the lower end of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. At this time, the push rod 9 is blocked by the lead ingot and cannot continue to rotate. As the metal disk 6 continues to rotate, it overcomes the magnetic attraction and friction between the metal disk 6 and the magnet 8 to achieve relative rotation, thus maintaining the pressing effect on the lead ingot at all times, until the lead ingot is lifted by the lifting rod 4.
[0032] It should be noted that when the lead ingot undergoes angular displacement on the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 (such as...) Figure 8 As shown), under the action of the two push rods 9 and the two conveyor chains of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, its angle is corrected (as shown). Figure 9 As shown), ensure correspondence with lifting rod 4.
[0033] The driving mechanism 3 drives the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1, the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, and the adjusting device to work. Specifically, the driving mechanism 3 can be configured as a structure of multiple motors and reducers, specifically, it can be configured as three, which are respectively used to drive the rotation of the drive sprocket of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1, the rotation of the drive sprocket of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, and the rotation of the connecting shaft 5.
[0034] The lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 is the side that drives the lifting rod 4 to move from bottom to top, and correspondingly, the opposite side is the side that drives the lifting rod 4 to move from top to bottom, which is the lowering side.
[0035] A horizontal conveyor belt is provided at the upper end of the descending side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. The horizontal conveyor belt is set on the frame 10 (not shown in the figure). The horizontal conveyor belt extends to the lead melting furnace. The vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 realizes the vertical lifting of lead ingots. Then, the horizontal conveyor belt is used to transport the lifted lead ingots into the lead melting furnace.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a guide plate 11 is fixedly installed on the frame 10. One end of the guide plate 11 is located above the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, and the other end extends above the horizontal conveyor belt. Figure 7As shown, the guide plate 11 has two through slots 12, which correspond to the lifting rods 4. After the lead ingot is conveyed to the upper end of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, it rotates as it continues to move. When the lifting rod 4 that supports the lead ingot reaches the highest point, it is in a vertical state. Then, as it continues to rotate, the lead ingot falls onto the guide plate 11 and slides down the outer inclined surface of the guide plate 11 onto the horizontal conveyor belt. The two lifting rods 4 continue to move by passing through the two through slots 12 respectively.
[0037] A protective net 13 is provided on the lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. The protective net 13 covers the lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 1 As shown, there is a gap between the protective net 13 and the lifting rod 4 on the lifting side of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. On the one hand, this reduces the risk of lead ingots falling, and even if they fall, it effectively prevents the lead ingots from injuring the workers. On the other hand, the gap between the lower side of the protective net 13 and the upper side of the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 is greater than the thickness of the lead ingot and less than the width of the lead ingot. This prevents two lead ingots from touching each other and flipping over during the lead ingot transportation process, or from two lead ingots being stacked and lifted by the lifting rod 4 at the same time. This ensures that the number of lead ingots lifted at one time is 1.
[0038] When in use, the lead ingots conveyed by the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 reach their end and are fixed on the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. As the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2 rotates, the lifting rod 4 lifts the lead ingots, thus realizing the vertical conveying of the lead ingots.
[0039] Utilizing the magnetic attraction between magnet 8 and metal disc 6, connecting shaft 5 rotates synchronously with it, causing push rod 9 to rotate synchronously with metal disc 6. This pushes the lead ingot conveyed by the horizontal double-row conveyor chain 1 against the lower end of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2. At this time, push rod 9 is blocked by the lead ingot and cannot continue to rotate. As metal disc 6 continues to rotate, it overcomes the magnetic attraction and friction between metal disc 6 and magnet 8, resulting in relative rotation and maintaining the pushing effect on the lead ingot. This continues until the lead ingot is lifted by lifting rod 4.
[0040] After the lead ingot is conveyed to the upper end of the vertical double-row conveyor chain 2, it rotates as it continues to move. When the lifting rod 4 that lifts the lead ingot reaches the highest point, it is in a vertical state. Then, as it continues to rotate, the lead ingot falls onto the guide plate 11 and slides down the outer slope of the guide plate 11 onto the horizontal conveyor belt. Meanwhile, the two lifting rods 4 pass through the two through slots 12 and continue to move.

Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
