Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flat tube segmentation devices, specifically a flat tube segmentation and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing flat tube conveying devices on the market generally suffer from poor separation when conveying multiple flat tubes. Multiple flat tubes easily stack, squeeze, or stick together on the conveyor belt, leading to collisions and friction, resulting in surface scratches, deformation, and other quality defects that affect subsequent processing accuracy and product yield. Furthermore, the lack of an effective segmentation structure makes it difficult to clearly separate the currently conveyed flat tubes from those to be conveyed later, easily causing confusion in process connections and reducing production efficiency.

[0003] In addition, during operation, existing conveying devices often experience friction between the segmented structure and the conveyor belt due to mechanical vibration and other factors. This not only exacerbates equipment wear, shortens the device's service life, and increases equipment maintenance costs, but also affects the stability of the flat tube during the conveying process, further increasing the risk of flat tube damage. Utility Model Content

[0006] A segmented structure is provided on the conveyor belt. The segmented structure includes a first partition and a second partition. The first partition is used to separate the current flat tube, and the second partition is used to separate the subsequent flat tubes.

[0007] A shock-absorbing structure is provided on the segmented structure to reduce vibration of the segmented structure and to prevent friction between the segmented structure and the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the first partition is connected to the guide plate, and the other end of the guide plate is connected to the extension plate.

[0012] Preferably, there are at least two extension plates and guide plates, arranged in a mirror image opposite each other.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This flat tube segmentation conveying device, by setting a segmented structure including a first partition and a second partition, effectively solves the problem of poor separation effect of existing devices for flat tubes. It can clearly separate the current flat tube from the subsequent flat tube, avoiding surface scratches and deformation caused by the stacking, squeezing or sticking of flat tubes, and ensuring the quality and processing accuracy of flat tubes.

[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] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a flat tube segmentation conveying device, which is mounted on a conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is used to transport the flat tube 4 in the direction of the segmented structure 2, and is used to separate the flat tube 4. The flat tube 4 is at least two in number, including:

[0022] The segmented structure 2, located on the conveyor belt 1, includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 25. The first partition 21 separates the flat tubes 4 within the current segmented structure 2, while the second partition 25 separates the flat tubes 4 outside the segmented structure 2. The first partition 21 separates the current flat tubes 4, and the second partition 25 separates subsequent flat tubes 4. The segmented structure 2 also includes a mounting groove 22 on the first partition 21, which accommodates a shock-absorbing structure 3 and is connected to it. The second partition 25 also has a mounting groove 22. The first partition 21 also has an extension plate 23. One end of the extension plate 23 is used to connect to the first cylinder 24. The first cylinder 24 is connected to the second partition 25. The first cylinder 24 drives the second partition 25 to move. The extension plate 23 is also provided with a top plate 231. The bottom of the top plate 231 is connected to the second cylinder 27. The second cylinder 27 is located on the conveyor belt 1. One end of the guide plate 26 is connected to the first partition 21. The other end of the guide plate 26 is connected to the extension plate 23. This design can not only guide the flat tube 4, but also support the extension plate 23. There are at least two extension plates 23 and guide plates 26, which are set in a mirror image opposite each other.

[0023] Initially, the second cylinder 27 is in an extended state, vertically supporting the entire segment structure 2 and maintaining a certain distance from the conveyor belt 1. When operation begins, the second cylinder 27 retracts, controlling the segment structure 2 to fall to a position compatible with the conveyor belt 1; at this time, the first cylinder 24 retracts, causing the second partition 25 to retract, coordinating with the falling action of the second cylinder 27, so that the second partition 25 is inserted between the two flat tubes 4; subsequently, the first cylinder 24 extends, pushing the second partition 25 outward to separate the two flat tubes 4. The first flat tube 4 continues to move under the transmission action of the conveyor belt 1, and under the guidance of the guide plate 26, it remains perpendicular to the first partition 21. After the detector on the first partition 21 detects that the flat tube 4 is in contact with the first partition 21, the second cylinder 27 extends and lifts the segment structure 2, so that the flat tube 4 can be smoothly transported away from under the first partition 21, while the flat tube 4 in front of the second partition 25 continues to be transported towards the first partition 21, entering the next segment cycle.

[0024] The shock-absorbing structure 3 is installed on the segmented structure 2 and is used to dampen the vibration of the segmented structure 2 and to prevent friction between the segmented structure 2 and the conveyor belt 1. The shock-absorbing structure 3 includes a sleeve 31 and a compression spring 33 installed in the mounting groove 22. The compression spring 33 is installed in the sleeve 31, and a connecting rod 32 is connected to the bottom of the compression spring 33. The connecting rod 32 is inserted into the sleeve 31, and a roller 34 is provided on the connecting end of the connecting rod 32.

[0025] The shock-absorbing structure 3 is installed in the mounting groove 22 of the segmented structure 2. During operation, when the segmented structure 2 moves up and down due to the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 27 or is affected by external vibration, the anti-compression spring 33 inside the sleeve 31 will undergo elastic deformation, using its own extension and retraction to offset the vibration energy, thus effectively damping the segmented structure 2 and preventing unnecessary collisions or displacements between the segmented structure 2 and the flat tube 4 caused by vibration. At the same time, the connecting rod 32 is inserted into the sleeve 31, and its bottom roller 34 contacts the conveyor belt 1. When the segmented structure 2 falls to the working position with the second cylinder 27 or moves relative to the flat tube 4 during separation, the roller 34 will roll on the conveyor belt 1 with the movement of the segmented structure 2, converting the sliding friction between the segmented structure 2 and the conveyor belt 1 into rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction loss between the two, protecting both the segmented structure 2 and the conveyor belt 1, and ensuring the smooth operation of the device.

[0026] In the initial state, the second cylinder 27 is in the extended state, which drives the entire segment structure 2 to be vertically supported and maintain a certain distance from the conveyor belt 1. At this time, the shock-absorbing structure 3 on the segment structure 2 is also suspended in the air.

[0027] When the device starts working, the second cylinder 27 retracts, controlling the segmented structure 2 to fall to a position compatible with the conveyor belt 1. During this process, the rollers 34 in the shock-absorbing structure 3 on the segmented structure 2 first contact the conveyor belt 1. At this time, the first cylinder 24 retracts, driving the second partition 25 to retract. Combined with the falling action driven by the second cylinder 27, the second partition 25 is precisely inserted between the two flat tubes 4. Subsequently, the first cylinder 24 extends, pushing the second partition 25 outward, thereby effectively separating the two flat tubes 4.

[0028] The first flat tube 4 continues to move under the transmission of the conveyor belt 1. Guided by the guide plate 26, it gradually becomes perpendicular to the first partition 21. The connection design between the guide plate 26 and the extension plate 23 not only guides the flat tube 4 but also provides support for the extension plate 23. When the detector on the first partition 21 detects that the flat tube 4 is in contact with the first partition 21, the second cylinder 27 extends, lifting the segment structure 2, allowing the flat tube 4 to be smoothly transported away from under the first partition 21. At the same time, the flat tube 4 in front of the second partition 25 continues to be transported towards the first partition 21 under the action of the conveyor belt 1, entering the next segment cycle.

[0029] Throughout the entire operation, the vibration damping structure 3 plays a crucial role. When the segmented structure 2 moves up and down due to the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 27, or is affected by other external vibrations, the anti-compression spring 33 inside the sleeve 31 in the mounting groove 22 undergoes elastic deformation, using its own extension and retraction to offset the vibration energy, thus effectively damping the segmented structure 2 and preventing unnecessary collisions or displacements between the segmented structure 2 and the flat tube 4 caused by vibration. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 32 is inserted into the sleeve 31, and its bottom roller 34 contacts the conveyor belt 1. When the segmented structure 2 moves up and down with the second cylinder 27 and undergoes relative movement during the separation process of the flat tube 4, the roller 34 rolls on the conveyor belt 1 along with the movement of the segmented structure 2, converting the sliding friction between the segmented structure 2 and the conveyor belt 1 into rolling friction. This greatly reduces frictional loss between the two, protecting both the segmented structure 2 and the conveyor belt 1 while ensuring smooth operation of the device. The at least two extension plates 23 and guide plates 26, which are arranged in mirror image opposite each other, further ensure the stability and accuracy of the flat tube 4 during the conveying process.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
