Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated production equipment for SPC flooring, and more particularly to a steering mechanism for a conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of SPC flooring, after the sheets are formed, they are usually slitting or cutting into sections, often requiring transfer between several workstations via conveyor equipment. Existing conveying methods mostly use sequentially arranged conveyor rollers to transport the SPC sheets. However, due to production line layout requirements, the transported SPC sheets often need to be deflected during transport to design a movement path that meets equipment layout requirements. In existing technologies, the deflection mechanism for continuously conveyed SPC sheets is complex to design and has low deflection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the design of the steering mechanism for continuously conveyed SPC sheets is complicated and the steering efficiency is low in the prior art. This utility model provides a steering mechanism for conveying equipment to solve the above problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a steering mechanism for a conveying device, including a conveying platform, on which a plurality of conveying rollers are arranged in parallel, and a steering mechanism is provided on the conveying platform. The steering mechanism includes a bogie and a plurality of steering conveyor belt mechanisms. The plurality of steering conveyor belt mechanisms are arranged one by one between two adjacent conveying rollers, and one end of the steering conveyor belt mechanism is rotatably hinged to the conveying platform. The height of the hinge point between the steering conveyor belt mechanism and the conveying platform is lower than the height of the conveying rollers. The steering mechanism also includes a lifting cylinder for driving the steering conveyor belt mechanism to rotate around the hinge point.

[0005] Furthermore: the steering conveyor belt mechanism includes a drive pivot, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are respectively disposed at both ends of the steering conveyor belt mechanism. The drive wheel is sleeved on the drive pivot and driven to rotate by the drive pivot. The conveyor belt is wrapped around the outer periphery of the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The drive pivot is arranged parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveyor rollers and rotates under the drive of the steering drive motor.

[0006] Furthermore, one end of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the conveyor platform, and the other end is hinged to the end of the steering conveyor belt mechanism away from the hinge.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive pivot is rotatably mounted on the conveyor platform via several bearing seats, and the bearing seats are installed on both sides of each drive wheel.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the steering mechanism of the conveying equipment of this utility model, through the design of a hinged and rotatable steering conveyor belt mechanism, enables the rapid lifting and steering of the plate when a steering operation is required, and the plate can return to its original position under the conveyor roller after the steering is completed, without affecting the conveying of the plate, which is convenient and efficient. It can also adjust the frequency of plate dispensing, avoid congestion in subsequent transmission, and buffer and adjust the conveying state of subsequent plates. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0015] Any process or method described in the flowchart or otherwise herein can be understood as representing a module, segment, or portion of code comprising one or more executable instructions for implementing a particular logical function or process, and the scope of the preferred embodiments of the present invention includes additional implementations in which functions may be performed not in the order shown or discussed, including substantially simultaneously or in reverse order according to the functions involved, as should be understood by those skilled in the art to which embodiments of the present invention pertain.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a steering mechanism for a conveying device, including a conveying platform 1, on which a plurality of conveying rollers 2 are arranged in parallel. A steering mechanism is provided on the conveying platform 1, and the steering mechanism includes a bogie 3 and a plurality of steering conveyor belt 9 mechanisms 4. The plurality of steering conveyor belt 9 mechanisms 4 are arranged one by one between two adjacent conveying rollers 2, and one end of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 is rotatably hinged to the conveying platform 1. The height of the hinge point between the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 and the conveying platform 1 is lower than the height of the conveying rollers 2. The steering mechanism also includes a lifting cylinder 5 for driving the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 to rotate around the hinge point.

[0017] The steering mechanism of this application is used in the conveying equipment for SPC sheets, mainly to guide the linearly moving sheets to meet the layout design requirements of the production line. Specifically, the SPC sheets are conveyed linearly on the conveyor roller 2, which supports the SPC sheets to move forward. Since the height of the hinge between the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 and the conveyor table 1 is lower than the height of the conveyor roller 2, when the lifting cylinder 5 is not lifting, the entire steering mechanism is located below the conveyor roller 2. That is, the normally flowing SPC sheets will not interfere with the steering mechanism, ensuring the normal forward conveying of the SPC sheets.

[0018] When the SPC sheets on conveyor roller 2 need to be redirected for transport due to production line requirements, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 5 extends, driving the redirecting conveyor belt mechanism 9 4 to rotate around the hinge. This causes the redirecting conveyor belt mechanism 9 4 to extend from the top surface of conveyor roller 2, lifting the SPC sheets originally on it and redirecting them under its drive. This achieves the design requirement of redirecting the SPC sheets from conveyor roller 2 to other conveying equipment, allowing them to flow to subsequent processes. Simultaneously, the sequential redirection and transport method of the redirecting conveyor belt mechanism 9 4 can also distribute SPC sheets to the next conveying equipment at a certain rate, preventing congestion and serving a regulating function.

[0019] The steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 includes a drive pivot 6, a drive wheel 7, a driven wheel 8, and a conveyor belt 9. The drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8 are respectively disposed at both ends of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4. The drive wheel 7 is sleeved on the drive pivot 6 and is driven to rotate by the drive pivot 6. The conveyor belt 9 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8. The drive pivot 6 is arranged parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveyor rollers 2 and rotates under the drive of the steering drive motor.

[0020] Driven by the steering drive motor, the vertical shaft rotates, which in turn drives the upper drive wheel 7 to rotate synchronously. This achieves the synchronous rotation of the conveyor belt 9, which can drive the movement of the SPC sheet placed on top. This method simplifies the mechanical mechanism. The drive pivot 6 simultaneously provides synchronous rotational driving force to multiple drive wheels 7, ensuring the synchronous operation of several steering conveyor belt 9 mechanisms 4.

[0021] At the same time, this structure achieves the effect of hinged installation of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 on the conveyor table 1. The entire steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 can rotate around the drive wheel 7, realizing the rotation adjustment position of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 and maintaining the continuous rotation of the conveyor belt 9.

[0022] One end of the lifting cylinder 5 is hinged to the conveyor platform 1, and the other end is hinged to the end of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 away from the hinge. The lifting cylinder 5 is used to adjust the rotation state of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4. When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 5 extends or retracts, it can pull the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4 to rotate along the hinge, thereby realizing the switching of the steering working state.

[0023] The drive pivot 6 is rotatably mounted on the conveyor table 1 via several bearing seats 10, with each drive wheel 7 having a bearing seat 10 mounted on both sides. This mounting method of the bearing seats 10 improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the drive pivot 6, enhances the overall structural strength of the steering conveyor belt 9 mechanism 4, and ensures reliable and continuous conveying.

[0025] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
