Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, specifically to a chain conveyor with an anti-collision protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Chain conveyors are commonly used equipment in industrial production. However, the conveyor chain needs to be driven by a shaft, and the shaft at the end usually does not have independent protection. Therefore, during use, the shaft or the chain at the shaft position is easily deformed or damaged due to collisions with personnel or equipment. Existing designs have added fixed protective covers to this position, but the height and position of the protective cover cannot be adjusted according to the type and size of the conveyed material, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a reasonably designed chain conveyor with an anti-collision protection structure, which can solve the above-mentioned defects.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a frame, with rotating shafts at both ends of the frame, the two rotating shafts being connected by a drive chain and having conveyor chains installed on them, a motor for driving the equipment to operate being installed on the frame, side baffles on both sides of the frame, and protective structures at both ends of the frame, the protective structures including protective covers installed on the outside of the rotating shafts by an adjustment device.

[0005] Preferably, the protective cover has a structure with a curved central section and straight ends.

[0006] Preferably, the adjusting device includes mounting blocks respectively installed on the outer sides of the two side baffles. A frame-shaped movable frame is installed obliquely upward on the outer side of the mounting blocks. A slide rail is provided inside the movable frame, and an adjusting slider is slidably installed on the slide rail. An adjusting screw is rotatably installed on the side of the slide rail. An adjusting motor is installed at the bottom of the movable frame. The output shaft of the adjusting motor is connected to the adjusting screw. The adjusting slider is provided with an internal thread and is installed on the adjusting screw through the thread. A bracket is connected between the two adjusting sliders, and the protective cover is installed outside the bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the bracket are connected to the adjusting slider by multiple pre-tightened elastic ropes.

[0008] Preferably, a cushioning pad is provided on the outside of the protective cover.

[0009] Preferably, the side baffle is a "C"-shaped structural member facing outward, and an "L"-shaped protective plate facing inward is provided above the side baffle. The inner side of the mounting block has a groove that matches its shape. The protruding part of the side baffle is inserted into the groove, and the upper and lower ends of the mounting block are locked by bolts respectively.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are:

[0011] 1. This utility model is designed with a protective cover to protect the end of the conveyor, prevent the shaft and chain from being damaged by impact, and improve the stability of the equipment.

[0012] 2. In this utility model, the protective cover can adjust the distance between itself and the conveyor chain through an adjustment device, thereby increasing the buffer distance for collisions. It can also be adjusted to ensure that the products of the conveyor can pass under it and fall without causing obstruction.

[0013] 3. In this utility model, the adjustment device can be quickly disassembled and assembled, thus facilitating replacement and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] See Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a frame with rotating shafts at both ends. The two rotating shafts are connected by a drive chain 14 and a conveyor chain 1 is installed on both shafts. A motor 2 for driving the equipment is installed on the frame. Side baffles 3 are provided on both sides of the frame. Protective structures are provided at both ends of the frame. The protective structures include protective covers 12 installed on the outside of the rotating shafts by an adjustment device. The protective covers 12 have a curved arc shape in the middle and straight plates at both ends. A buffer pad 13 is provided on the outside of the protective covers 12.

[0022] The adjustment device includes mounting blocks 5 installed on the outer sides of two side baffles 3 respectively. A frame-shaped movable frame 6 is installed obliquely upward on the outer side of the mounting block 5. A slide rail 7 is provided inside the movable frame 6. An adjustment slider 10 is slidably installed on the slide rail 7. An adjustment screw 8 is rotatably installed on the side of the slide rail 7. An adjustment motor 9 is installed at the bottom of the movable frame 6. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 9 is connected to the adjustment screw 8. The adjustment slider 10 has an internal thread. The adjustment slider 10 is installed on the adjustment screw 8 through the thread. A bracket 11 is connected between the two adjustment sliders 10. A protective cover 12 is installed outside the bracket 11. The two ends of the bracket 11 are connected to the adjustment slider 10 through multiple pre-tightened elastic ropes.

[0023] The side baffle 3 is a "C"-shaped structure facing outwards. Above the side baffle 3 is an "L"-shaped protective plate 4 facing inwards. The inner side of the mounting block 5 has a groove that matches its shape. The protruding part of the side baffle 3 is inserted into the groove, and the upper and lower ends of the mounting block 5 are locked with bolts respectively.

[0024] During use, the motor 9 can be adjusted, and the adjusting screw 8 can be used to adjust the position of the slider along the slide rail 7 through the action of the thread, thereby driving the movable frame 6 to move and adjust the distance between it and the conveyor chain 1, thereby adjusting the protection spacing. When necessary, it can also ensure that items on the conveyor chain 1 can pass under the protective cover 12 to prevent obstruction. The movable frame 6 can serve as a functional support and enhance the visual effect, creating a psychological effect of avoiding collisions when people pass by.

[0025] Even if personnel or equipment collide, they will come into contact with the buffer pad 13 for initial cushioning. While the protective cover 12 blocks the impact, the elastic rope absorbs kinetic energy, thereby preventing the collision from damaging the conveyor. If the protective cover 12 or the movable frame 6 is deformed or damaged due to a collision, the bolts on the mounting holes can be removed to disassemble the adjustment device for repair or replacement.

[0026] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
