Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular relates to a buffer conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of material conveying technology, production lines are increasingly demanding greater continuity, stability, and space utilization in material flow. However, current mainstream material conveying equipment has several technical shortcomings and is difficult to adapt to the complex needs of modern production scenarios.

[0003] Among them, existing conveying devices with certain buffering functions mostly adopt the method of extending the straight conveying path to achieve buffering, which requires a large production space. In production scenarios with limited workshop space, the excessively long straight buffer structure will squeeze the installation space of other production equipment, resulting in a compact and messy workshop layout and reducing the overall space utilization rate. The storage capacity of the straight buffer path is limited by its length, making it difficult to achieve temporary storage of a large amount of materials in a limited space, and failing to meet the demand of high-capacity production lines for large buffer capacity.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a buffer delivery device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a buffer conveying device that prevents material accumulation.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a buffer conveying device, comprising: a first conveying seat, a second conveying seat installed at the conveying end of the first conveying seat, and a third conveying seat installed at the bottom of the conveying starting end of the second conveying seat; conveying components are installed in the first conveying seat, the second conveying seat, and the third conveying seat; a support and translation mechanism, which is mounted on the first conveying seat and is used to support and move the first conveying seat horizontally; and a flow guiding component installed at the conveying end of the first conveying seat, the conveying end of which corresponds to the third conveying seat, and the flow guiding component is used to convey the material on the first conveying seat to the third conveying seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a plurality of rotating rollers rotatably mounted in the first conveying seat, the second conveying seat, and the third conveying seat, and each pair of rotating rollers is connected by a transmission assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first conveyor seat, the second conveyor seat, and the third conveyor seat. The drive output end of the first motor is connected to the drive shaft. The three drive shafts pass through the side wall of the first conveyor seat, the second conveyor seat, and the third conveyor seat respectively and are fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, the supporting translation mechanism includes a second support installed at one end of the first conveyor seat. The second support has a storage groove on its side wall, which is movably connected to the starting end of the first conveyor seat. Hydraulic push rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the second support. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the hydraulic push rod, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first conveyor seat. A third support is fixedly installed at the other end of the first conveyor seat, and multiple rollers are rotatably installed at the bottom of the third support.

[0010] Furthermore, the flow guiding assembly includes a flow guiding seat rotatably mounted at the conveying end of the first conveying seat, a second motor fixedly mounted on the side wall of the flow guiding seat, the drive output end of the second motor being connected to a drive shaft, the other end of the drive shaft being fixedly connected to a drive shaft, the drive shaft being rotatably connected to the side wall of the first conveying seat, and the drive shaft being fixedly connected to the flow guiding seat.

[0011] Furthermore, a first support is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second conveyor's starting end, and connecting frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the first support. The connecting frames are fixedly installed at the bottom of the third conveyor.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying paths of the first and second conveying seats are both arranged in a straight line, while the conveying path of the third conveying seat is arranged in a loop.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The combined structure of the first, second, and third conveyor seats forms a multi-segment interconnected conveying path. This not only meets the need for straight-line material conveying between different workstations but also allows the third conveyor seat to temporarily buffer the material, preventing material accumulation at the conveying starting point when subsequent processes are interrupted, thus improving the overall material flow stability of the production line. The supporting translation mechanism can drive the first conveyor seat to move horizontally, flexibly adjusting its position according to the material conveying location and the installation spacing of adjacent equipment in the actual production scenario, conveying the material to the buffered third conveyor seat. The flow guiding component precisely guides the material on the first conveyor seat to the third conveyor seat, solving the problem of material falling or jamming that may occur due to differences in installation positions between the first and third conveyor seats. This ensures that the material flows seamlessly between multiple conveyor seats, improving conveying efficiency and material integrity. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A buffer delivery device, comprising:

[0027] A first conveyor seat 1, a second conveyor seat 11 is installed at the conveying end of the first conveyor seat 1, a third conveyor seat 14 is installed at the bottom of the conveying start end of the second conveyor seat 11, and conveying components are installed in the first conveyor seat 1, the second conveyor seat 11 and the third conveyor seat 14.

[0028] A support translation mechanism is mounted on the first conveyor seat 1, and the support translation mechanism is used to support the first conveyor seat 1 and move it horizontally.

[0029] The first conveying seat 1 is equipped with a flow guiding component at its conveying end. The conveying end of the flow guiding component corresponds to the third conveying seat 14. The flow guiding component is used to convey the material on the first conveying seat 1 to the third conveying seat 14.

[0030] When materials enter the device, they are first received by the first conveyor seat 1. Under the action of the conveying components within the first conveyor seat 1, the materials move in a straight line towards the end of the conveyor. After reaching the end of the first conveyor seat 1, if the subsequent processes are running normally, the materials can be directly conveyed forward to the corresponding workstation via the second conveyor seat 11. If the subsequent processes are interrupted, the guide component is activated, guiding the materials to the third conveyor seat 14. The circular conveying path of the third conveyor seat 14 allows the materials to circulate within the track, thereby achieving a temporary buffering function, preventing material accumulation at the beginning of the first conveyor seat 1, and ensuring the continuity of material flow in the entire production line. In actual production, if the position of the first conveyor seat 1 needs to be adjusted due to adjustments in the production line layout or changes in the material conveying position, the hydraulic push rod 31 begins to extend and retract under the command of the control system, pushing the connecting plate 3. 2. This causes the first conveyor seat 1 to move horizontally along the guide of the second support 3's receiving groove 35. The rollers 34 at the bottom of the third support 33 reduce the moving resistance, allowing the first conveyor seat 1 to move smoothly and steadily to a new target position to adapt to different production scenario requirements. When the flow guide component is working, the second motor 41 starts after receiving the command from the control system. Its drive output end drives the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the drive shaft connected to the transmission shaft to rotate. The drive shaft then drives the flow guide seat 4 to rotate to a suitable angle. Under the action of gravity and the thrust of the conveying component, the material at the end of the first conveyor seat 1 falls precisely onto the third conveyor seat 14 along the guide of the flow guide seat 4, preventing the material from falling or getting stuck due to the difference in the installation positions of the first and third conveyor seats 14, and ensuring the smooth flow of the material between different conveyor seats.

[0031] In the example of this application, the conveying assembly includes a plurality of rotating rollers 2 rotatably mounted in the first conveying seat 1, the second conveying seat 11, and the third conveying seat 14, respectively. The two ends of the rotating rollers 2 are fixedly connected to the inner shafts of corresponding bearings. The plurality of bearings are respectively mounted on the side walls of the first conveying seat 1, the second conveying seat 11, and the third conveying seat 14. Corresponding pairs of the rotating rollers 2 are connected to each other through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a transmission belt 21 that is drivenly mounted at one end of the rotating roller 2, and the other end of the transmission belt 21 is drivenly connected to an adjacent rotating shaft.

[0032] As a preferred example of this utility model, when the first motor 23 starts, its drive output drives the connected transmission shaft to rotate. The transmission shaft transmits power to the fixedly connected roller 2, causing the roller 2 to start rotating. Since adjacent rollers 2 are connected by a transmission belt 21, according to the transmission characteristics of the transmission belt 21, the rotation of one roller 2 will drive the adjacent rollers 2 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 21. Within the first conveyor seat 1, the second conveyor seat 11, and the third conveyor seat 14, multiple rollers 2 form a stable synchronous rotation system, ensuring that the material receives a uniform and stable driving force during the conveying process, thereby stabilizing the material. The high-speed movement of the rollers improves the conveying accuracy. Several rollers 2 are arranged regularly in the first, second, and third conveying seats 14 to form a flat conveying surface. When solid materials such as blocks and granules are placed on the conveying surface, the rollers 2 provide stable support. The material moves forward under the drive of the conveying components and will not roll or scatter due to unstable support. For packaged regular-shaped materials such as cartons and plastic boxes, the flat conveying surface can ensure that the bottom of the material is in full contact with the rollers 2, avoiding tilting or tipping of the material during the conveying process due to uneven support, and improving the versatility of the device for different materials.

[0033] In the example of this application, a first motor 23 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first conveyor seat 1, the second conveyor seat 11 and the third conveyor seat 14. The drive output end of the first motor 23 is connected to the drive shaft. The three drive shafts pass through the side wall of the first conveyor seat 1, the second conveyor seat 11 and the third conveyor seat 14 respectively and are fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating roller 2.

[0034] As a preferred example of this utility model, each conveyor seat is equipped with an independent first motor 23 throughout the entire conveying process. The control system can send control commands to each first motor 23 according to the material requirements of different conveying sections. When the third conveyor seat 14 serves as a buffer zone and needs to slow down the material entry speed, the control system reduces the output frequency of the first motor 23 corresponding to the third conveyor seat 14, thereby reducing the motor speed and the rotation speed of the roller 2, thus slowing down the material conveying speed. When the second conveyor seat 11 serves as the main conveying section and needs to speed up the material conveying, the control system increases the output frequency of the first motor 23 corresponding to the second conveyor seat 11, thereby increasing the material conveying speed and preventing material accumulation or conveying delays caused by uniform speed in each section.

[0035] In the example of this application, the supporting translation mechanism includes a second support 3 installed at one end of the first conveying seat 1. The second support 3 has a storage groove 35 on its side wall, which is movably connected to the starting end of the first conveying seat 1. Hydraulic push rods 31 are fixedly installed on both sides of the second support 3. A connecting plate 32 is fixedly installed at the other end of the hydraulic push rod 31. The connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first conveying seat 1. A third support 33 is fixedly installed at the other end of the first conveying seat 1. Multiple rollers 34 are rotatably installed at the bottom of the third support 33.

[0036] As a preferred example of this utility model, when the first conveyor seat 1 needs to be moved, the hydraulic push rod 31 starts to work, and the hydraulic push rods 31 on both sides of the second support 3 extend and retract synchronously, pushing the connecting plate 32, so that the first conveyor seat 1 moves horizontally along the guide of the receiving groove 35 of the second support 3. The receiving groove 35 provides precise guidance for the movement of the first conveyor seat 1, effectively avoiding deviation and shaking during the movement. At the same time, the multiple rollers 34 at the bottom of the third support 33 are evenly distributed, distributing the weight of the first conveyor seat 1 to the contact points between the rollers 34 and the ground, greatly reducing the frictional resistance during movement. It is easier for the operator to push or control the movement of the first conveyor seat 1 through the control system. Moreover, the overall structure of the device is stable during the entire movement process, and there is no risk of tipping over due to problems such as center of gravity shift.

[0037] In the example of this application, the flow guiding assembly includes a flow guiding seat 4 rotatably mounted at the conveying end of the first conveying seat 1. A second motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the flow guiding seat 4. The drive output end of the second motor 41 is connected to a drive shaft. The other end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to a drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first conveying seat 1 and fixedly connected to the flow guiding seat 4.

[0038] As a preferred example of this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the flow direction, the control system sends a command to the second motor 41 of the flow guide assembly. After the second motor 41 starts, its drive output end drives the transmission shaft connected to it to rotate. The transmission shaft transmits the rotational power to the drive shaft, which is fixedly connected to the flow guide seat 4, thereby driving the flow guide seat 4 to rotate around the axis of the drive shaft. The operator can flexibly set the rotation angle of the second motor 41 through the control system according to the relative position of the first conveyor seat 1 and the third conveyor seat 14 and the required conveying angle of the material, thereby accurately adjusting the tilt angle of the flow guide seat 4 to ensure that the material can be guided from the first conveyor seat 1 to the third conveyor seat 14 along the optimal path, avoiding jamming and accumulation of the material during the flow guide process.

[0039] In the example of this application, a first support 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying start end of the second conveying seat 11, and a connecting frame 13 is fixedly installed on both sides of the first support 12. The connecting frame 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the third conveying seat 14.

[0040] As a preferred example of this utility model, the first support 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third conveyor seat 14 through the connecting frames 13 on both sides, forming a stable support structure. When the second conveyor seat 11 is installed on the first support 12, the weight of the second conveyor seat 11 is evenly distributed to the connecting frame 13 and the third conveyor seat 14 through the first support 12, avoiding the shaking and displacement problems that may occur when the second conveyor seat 11 is installed alone. At the same time, it disperses the pressure borne by the second conveyor seat 11 and the third conveyor seat 14 when carrying materials, which significantly improves the structural strength of the entire buffer conveying device and makes it more stable and reliable in long-term operation.

[0041] In the example of this application, the conveying paths of the first conveyor seat 1 and the second conveyor seat 11 are both arranged in a straight line, while the conveying path of the third conveyor seat 14 is arranged in a loop.

[0042] As a preferred example of this utility model, after the material enters the device, on the first conveyor seat 1 and the second conveyor seat 11, since the conveying path is straight, the material can be transported to the designated position with the shortest distance and the fastest speed, meeting the needs of efficient material flow in the production line. When the material enters the third conveyor seat 14, its circular conveying path comes into play, and the material circulates within the circular track. In a limited space, the circular track can store more material than the straight track, greatly improving space utilization and buffer capacity.

[0043] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
