Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator parts production equipment, and in particular to a conveying device for refrigerator injection molded end caps. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature. It is also a consumer product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. The refrigerator contains a compressor, an ice maker, and a cabinet or box for freezing. It is a storage box with a refrigeration unit. The injection-molded end caps of a refrigerator are often made through an injection molding process.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the injection-molded refrigerator end caps are usually laid flat on the conveyor belt of a belt conveyor, and a receiving box is placed below one end of the belt conveyor. As the belt conveyor moves, the refrigerator end caps fall directly into the receiving box under the action of gravity, completing the conveying and feeding of the refrigerator end caps.

[0004] However, in this kind of conveying and feeding process, the receiving box has a certain depth. If the refrigerator end cover falls too high to the bottom of the receiving box, it is easily damaged by impact. In addition, during the process of the refrigerator end cover falling out of the belt conveyor, one side of the refrigerator end cover will leave the belt conveyor first, while the other side of the refrigerator end cover will stay on the belt conveyor for a short time. This will cause the refrigerator end cover to fall into the receiving box at an angle, which will easily cause one side of the refrigerator end cover to be deformed by impact. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a conveying device for refrigerator injection molded end caps, the purpose of which is to prevent the refrigerator end caps from falling and being damaged, and to protect them.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A conveying device for injection-molded refrigerator end caps is provided, comprising: a belt conveyor for conveying refrigerator end caps; a housing disposed below one end of the belt conveyor for receiving refrigerator end caps; a lifting platform disposed vertically within the housing for supporting refrigerator end caps; two through slots formed within the housing and located on both sides of the refrigerator end cap along its width; two buffer components disposed above the lifting platform and respectively disposed within the two through slots, capable of rolling contact with one end of the refrigerator end cap; and two sets of telescopic components corresponding to the two buffer components for driving the two buffer components to move closer to / away from each other along the width direction of the refrigerator end cap.

[0008] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes: a buffer belt made of rubber and in the shape of a ring; a pair of tensioning rollers disposed within the buffer belt to tension the buffer belt along the length of the refrigerator end cover; a mounting plate; and two rotating shafts, corresponding to the pair of tensioning rollers, one end of the rotating shaft being rotatably disposed within the tensioning rollers via a bearing, and the other end of the rotating shaft being fixedly disposed on the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer assembly also includes: several stripes arranged in an array on the buffer strip along the length of the refrigerator end cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the device also includes a buffer pad, which is disposed on the inner wall surface of the cabinet, along the length of the refrigerator end cover, on both sides of the refrigerator end cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting platform is a scissor lift.

[0012] Furthermore, the device also includes: a sliding sleeve disposed on the outer wall of the housing; and a column installed vertically on the ground, the column being slidably fitted into the sliding sleeve.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, one end of the refrigerator end cover is rolled and supported by a buffer assembly, which prevents the end of the refrigerator end cover from directly impacting the inner wall of the cabinet, thus preventing the refrigerator end cover from deforming. The buffer assembly also guides the refrigerator end cover to slowly and flatten it. A lifting platform is also provided to support the refrigerator end cover. The lifting platform descends a fixed height (i.e., the thickness of the refrigerator end cover) each time, so as to receive the refrigerator end cover at the same horizontal height, reduce the vertical descent height of the refrigerator end cover, and prevent the refrigerator end cover from being damaged by impact.

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a conveying device for a refrigerator injection-molded end cap, including: a belt conveyor 1 for conveying a refrigerator end cap 3; a housing 4 disposed below one end of the belt conveyor 1 for receiving the refrigerator end cap 3; a lifting platform 5 disposed vertically within the housing 4 for supporting the refrigerator end cap 3; two through slots 41 opened within the housing 4 and located on both sides of the refrigerator end cap 3 along the width direction; two buffer components disposed above the lifting platform 5 and respectively disposed within the two through slots 41, capable of rolling contact with one end of the refrigerator end cap 3; and two sets of telescopic components 8 disposed corresponding to the two buffer components for driving the two buffer components to move closer to / away from each other along the width direction of the refrigerator end cap 3.

[0021] In practical use, the injection-molded refrigerator end cap 3 is placed flat on the belt conveyor 1 for transportation. Under the action of the belt conveyor 1, the refrigerator end cap 3 falls into the box 4 at an angle. During the falling process, one end of the refrigerator end cap 3 first contacts the buffer component. The buffer component can roll and support one end of the refrigerator end cap 3 to prevent one end of the refrigerator end cap 3 from directly hitting the inner wall of the box 4, preventing the refrigerator end cap 3 from being deformed, and guiding the refrigerator end cap 3 to slowly fall flat on the buffer component.

[0022] Then, the two sets of telescopic components 8 are activated. The two sets of telescopic components 8 drive the two sets of buffer components to move away, making room for the bottom of the refrigerator end cover 3. Under the action of gravity, the refrigerator end cover 3 is laid flat on the lifting platform 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, a lifting platform 5 is also provided to support the refrigerator end cover 3. The lifting platform 5 descends a fixed height (i.e., the thickness of the refrigerator end cover 3) each time, so as to receive the refrigerator end cover 3 at the same horizontal height, reduce the height of the refrigerator end cover 3 descending in the vertical direction, and prevent the refrigerator end cover 3 from being damaged by impact.

[0024] Specifically, the buffer assembly includes: a buffer belt 61 made of rubber and in the shape of a ring; a pair of tensioning rollers 62 disposed inside the buffer belt 61 to tension the buffer belt 61 along the length of the refrigerator end cover 3; a mounting plate 63; and two rotating shafts 64, which are installed corresponding to the pair of tensioning rollers 62. One end of the rotating shaft 64 is rotatably disposed inside the tensioning roller 62 through a bearing, and the other end of the rotating shaft 64 is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate 63.

[0025] It is understandable that during the process of the refrigerator end cover 3 falling at an angle from the belt conveyor 1, it has a certain kinetic potential energy along the length of the refrigerator end cover 3; one end of the refrigerator end cover 3 first contacts the buffer belt 61 and can impact the buffer belt 61 to move, causing the buffer belt 61 to move along the length of the refrigerator end cover 3 until it guides the refrigerator end cover 3 to lie flat on the buffer belts 61 on both sides.

[0026] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 8 is an electric push rod. The main body of the electric push rod can be fixedly installed on the frame with bolts, and the piston rod of the electric push rod can be fixedly installed on the mounting plate 63 with flange and bolts. After the refrigerator end cover 3 is placed flat on the buffer belt 61, the piston rod of the electric push rod is activated to retract, thereby making room for the bottom of the refrigerator end cover 3. After the refrigerator end cover 3 falls, the piston rod extends, driving the buffer component to reset, so as to provide buffering for the next refrigerator end cover 3.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the bearings should be lubricated to ensure that the impact of the refrigerator end cover 3 can drive the buffer belt 61 to move.

[0028] Specifically, the buffer assembly also includes: a plurality of stripes 65 arranged in an array on the buffer strip 61 along the length direction of the refrigerator end cover 3; the stripes 65 are arranged along the width direction of the refrigerator end cover 3, and one side of the refrigerator end cover 3 can be embedded between two stripes 65 to facilitate pushing the buffer strip 61.

[0029] Specifically, the device also includes a buffer pad 7, which is disposed on the inner wall surface of the cabinet 4, along the length direction of the refrigerator end cover 3, and located on both sides of the refrigerator end cover 3; to prevent the refrigerator end cover 3 from impacting the inner wall surface of the cabinet 4.

[0030] Specifically, the lifting platform 5 is a scissor lift; it is worth mentioning that both the scissor lift and the belt conveyor 1 are existing technologies, and the specific structures of the scissor lift and the belt conveyor 1 will not be described in detail. Existing scissor lifts and belt conveyors 1 on the market can be selected.

[0031] Specifically, the device also includes: a sliding sleeve 42, which is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 4; and a column 43, which is installed on the ground in a vertical direction and can be slidably fitted into the sliding sleeve 42.

[0032] By setting up the sliding sleeve 42 and the column 43, the positioning and installation of the box 4 can be assisted, and the lifting platform 5 can be enclosed inside the box 4. When the refrigerator end cover 3 stored in the box 4 is sufficient, the box 4 can be lifted by a bridge crane, and the staff can then transfer the lifting platform 5 carrying the refrigerator end cover 3 to complete the material removal operation of the refrigerator end cover 3.

[0033] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can reasonably add existing equipment according to different needs.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, once they learn the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if these modifications and modifications of the present invention fall within the scope of the machine equivalents of the claims of the present invention, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and modifications.
