Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chain plate forming equipment, and in particular to a narrow belt machine chain plate forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Plate chain conveyors, as a common type of conveying equipment, are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, automobile production, food processing, and logistics transportation due to their advantages such as large conveying capacity, wide applicability, and stable and reliable operation. The key component of a plate chain conveyor is the chain plate, and its forming quality directly affects the overall operating performance and service life of the machine.

[0003] refer to Figure 1 The forming process of chain plates typically involves first stamping sheet metal into blanks of a basic shape using a stamping press, followed by multiple processes such as pre-bending, bending, and rolling to gradually shape the connecting parts on both sides of the chain plate. The entire chain plate forming equipment generally includes a chain plate distributing mechanism, a multiple bending mechanism, and an assembly mechanism. The chain plate distributing mechanism distributes the stamped chain plates one by one to the next workstation, where they are then picked up by a conveyor or robotic arm for further processing by the bending mechanism.

[0004] However, existing chain plate distribution mechanisms generally have the following shortcomings:

[0005] First, the positioning of the chain plates during distribution is not accurate enough, making them prone to positional shifts during transport and transfer. Second, due to insufficient positioning accuracy, the bending mechanism at the next station often experiences pick-up deviations when retrieving the chain plates, causing the bending action to fail to accurately apply to the predetermined position, thus affecting the forming accuracy of the chain plates. These problems not only affect the processing quality of the chain plates but also easily cause production rhythm disruptions, increasing equipment failure rates and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing chain plate distribution mechanisms, such as insufficient positioning accuracy, which affects the processing quality of the chain plates and easily causes production rhythm disorder. Therefore, a narrow-belt machine chain plate forming device is proposed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A narrow-band machine chain plate forming device includes a chain plate distributing mechanism. The chain plate distributing mechanism includes a bottom platform, a push-pull plate and an upper platform arranged sequentially above the bottom platform. The push-pull plate can move left and right between the bottom platform and the upper platform. A material storage component capable of stacking chain plates is provided above the upper platform, and the upper platform has a material leakage hole. A positioning mechanism is provided at the end of the bottom platform where the push-pull plate pushes the material. The positioning mechanism includes an elastic thrust component and an edge limiting rod located on both sides of the chain plate. The elastic thrust component can generate a first component force pointing towards the edge limiting rod and a second component force pointing towards the push-pull plate on the chain plate.

[0009] The elastic thrust assembly includes an inclined pressure plate with a pressure-applying part at the head and a tail of the pressure plate that is rotatably connected to the frame via a pin. A torsion spring is installed between the pressure plate and the frame, and the torsion spring can generate an inclined thrust that causes the pressure plate to abut against the chain plate.

[0010] A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the tail of the pressure plate, and a first limiting protrusion and a second limiting protrusion are fixedly connected to the frame. The limiting rod is located between the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion. In the initial state, the limiting rod abuts against the second limiting protrusion, and the pressure part is at least partially located within the passage space of the chain plate.

[0011] One end of the push-pull plate is fixedly connected to a top rod, which can push the pressure plate away from the chain plate when the push-pull plate pushes the material.

[0012] The push-pull plate has several tops at one end for pushing the material, and the length of the tops is greater than the length of the plate chain lugs.

[0013] The storage assembly includes four positioning rods that are vertically fixed to the upper platform. A storage space can be formed between the four positioning rods, and chain plates are stacked in the storage space.

[0014] The present invention provides a narrow-belt machine chain plate forming device, which has the following advantages: The device utilizes an elastic thrust component to generate a first component force pointing towards the edge limiting rod and a second component force pointing towards the push-pull plate. The first component force can cause the chain plate to abut against the edge limiting rod, and the second component force can cause the chain plate to abut against the push-pull plate. With this arrangement, when the chain plate is pushed out of the gap, it can be positioned against the limit surface of the push-pull plate and the edge limiting rod, thereby achieving edge positioning of the chain plate and facilitating the use of the chain plate in the next process.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 2-7 A narrow-band machine chain plate forming device includes a chain plate distributing mechanism. The chain plate distributing mechanism includes a bottom platform 1, a push-pull plate 8 and an upper platform 5 arranged sequentially above the bottom platform 1. It should be noted that the movement of the push-pull plate 8 can be powered by a telescopic cylinder or other power telescopic components in the prior art, which can drive the push-pull plate 8 to move back and forth. The push-pull plate 8 can move horizontally between the bottom platform 1 and the upper platform 5. The upper platform 5 is provided with a material storage component that can stack the chain plates up and down, and the upper platform 5 is provided with a material leakage hole 11. The bottom platform 1 is provided with a positioning mechanism at the end where the push-pull plate 8 pushes the material. The positioning mechanism includes an elastic thrust component and an edge limiting rod 10 located on both sides of the chain plate. The elastic thrust component can generate a first component force pointing towards the edge limiting rod 10 and a second component force pointing towards the push-pull plate 8 on the chain plate.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5When using this device, workers stack the stamped chain plates inside the storage assembly. There is a gap between the upper platform 5 and the lower platform 1 for the push-pull plate 8 to pass through. The height of this gap is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the chain plate, allowing a single chain plate to fall into the gap. (Refer to...) Figure 2 Under the influence of gravity, the chain plate falls from the material discharge hole 11 onto the bottom platform 1. Then, the cylinder pushes the push-pull plate 8 to the right, pushing the chain plate that has fallen between the upper platform 5 and the bottom platform 1 out of the gap. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As the push-pull plate 8 continuously pushes the chain plate to the right, refer to Figure 5 When the chain plate passes the elastic thrust assembly, the elastic thrust assembly can generate a first component force pointing towards the edge limiting rod 10 and a second component force pointing towards the push-pull plate 8. The first component force can cause the chain plate to abut against the edge limiting rod 10, and the second component force can cause the chain plate to abut against the push-pull plate 8. With this setting, when the chain plate is pushed out of the gap, it can be positioned against the limiting surface between the push-pull plate 8 and the edge limiting rod 10, thus achieving edge positioning of the chain plate and facilitating the use of the chain plate in the next process. After the chain plate is pushed out, the cylinder drives the push-pull plate 8 to return to the starting position. Figure 3 The state of the chain plate causes the next chain plate to fall into the gap between the upper platform 5 and the lower platform 1, and the above process is repeated to continuously send the stacked chain plates to the right one by one.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 The elastic thrust assembly includes an inclined pressure plate 3. The head of the pressure plate 3 has a pressure application part 2. The tail of the pressure plate 3 is rotatably connected to the frame via a pin. A torsion spring is installed between the pressure plate 3 and the frame. The torsion spring can generate an inclined thrust that causes the pressure plate 3 to abut against the chain plate. In one embodiment, the torsion spring includes a sleeve part, a first elastic end, and a second elastic end. The sleeve part is sleeved on the pin. The first elastic end abuts against the frame, and the second elastic end abuts against the pressure plate 3.

[0027] refer to Figure 5 The pressure plate 3 generates a clockwise elastic thrust through the torsion spring. When the push-pull plate 8 pushes the chain plate to the right, the pressure plate 3 and the chain plate are in contact with each other, generating a first component force and a second component force. The first component force causes the chain plate to slide towards the edge limiting rod 10 and abut against one side of the edge limiting rod 10. The second component force is opposite to the direction of movement of the push-pull plate 8, causing the chain plate to abut against the end of the push-pull plate 8. In this way, the chain plate can be accurately positioned between the limiting surfaces of the push-pull plate 8 and the edge limiting rod 10, achieving edge positioning.

[0028] To ensure that the pressure plate 3 is positioned within the passage space 15 of the chain plate in its natural state, a limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the tail of the pressure plate 3. The frame is fixedly equipped with a first limiting protrusion 12 and a second limiting protrusion 13. The limiting rod 14 is located between the first limiting protrusion 12 and the second limiting protrusion 13. In the initial state, the limiting rod 14 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 13, and the pressure application part 2 is at least partially located within the passage space 15 of the chain plate. This arrangement ensures that the chain plate inevitably passes through the pressure plate 3 during the pushing process, thus achieving edge-to-edge contact with the chain plate through the elastically rotating pressure plate.

[0029] refer to Figure 6 To ensure the pressure plate 3 can stably detach from the chain plate, a push rod 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the push-pull plate 8. When the push-pull plate 8 pushes the material, the push rod 4 can push the pressure plate 3 to detach from the chain plate. The pressure plate 3 first serves to abut against the chain plate. As the push-pull plate 8 continues to push the chain plate, the push rod 4 pushes the pressure plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the pressure plate 3 naturally detaches from the chain plate during the process of the push-pull plate 8 pushing the chain plate.

[0030] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 2 The push-pull plate 8 has several top heads 9 at one end for pushing the material. The length of the top head 9 is greater than the length of the plate chain ear. The multiple top heads 9 abut against the tail end of the chain plate.

[0031] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The storage assembly includes four vertically fixed positioning rods 6 on the upper platform 5, forming a storage space 7 between the four positioning rods 6. The chain plates are stacked and arranged within the storage space 7. The four positioning rods 6 are fixedly installed on the upper platform 5 to position the workpieces stored on the upper platform 5, allowing the chain plates to fall downwards in an orderly manner under the positioning action of the positioning rods 6.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any technical solution, concept, or design obtained by those skilled in the art by making equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
