Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a universal ball conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Bullseye roller conveyors are industrial conveying equipment consisting of densely arranged omnidirectional rollers (also known as bullseye wheels) forming a non-powered working platform. They are mainly used for the flexible transfer of workpieces or materials. However, different materials have different heights. When transferring taller goods, the bullseye roller conveyor becomes less stable as the goods rise higher. Furthermore, the limiting plates at the edges of the roller conveyor are relatively low and have a fixed height. When transferring taller goods, they cannot effectively prevent them from tipping over. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a universal ball conveyor to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A universal ball conveyor includes a support base with multiple universal balls fixedly connected to its upper part. It also includes a C-shaped side plate that embeds into the support base and blocks three sides of the support base. Vertical guide rods are fixedly connected to three sides of the support base, and sliding sleeves are fixedly connected to three sides of the side plate. The three sliding sleeves of the side plate respectively enclose three guide rods of the support base, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the sliding sleeves. Each guide rod has multiple vertically arranged horizontal through holes. The system also includes limiting rods, consisting of one limiting rod 1 and two limiting rod 2. Two sliding sleeves of the side plate have horizontal limiting rod 2 inserted through them, and the other sliding sleeve has horizontal limiting rod 1 inserted through it. Limiting rod 1 and limiting rod 2 are slidably connected to their respective sliding sleeves. A transmission component is provided between the side plate and the limiting rods.

[0005] Using the above technical solution, the side plate is moved upward according to the height of the material being transferred on the support base. The side plate drives each sliding sleeve to rise along the guide rod. When the side plate rises to an appropriate height range, the limiting rod on the sliding sleeve is aligned with the through hole on the guide rod where the sliding sleeve is located. One hand holds the limiting plate, and the other hand pushes the first limiting rod on the sliding sleeve horizontally. The moving first limiting rod drives the second limiting rod on other sliding sleeves to move through the transmission component. The moving first and second limiting rods respectively pass through the sliding sleeves they are in. The side plate is fixed in the through hole of guide rod one, so that the side plate is stably positioned at its height. The side plate limits the material on the support base. When the omnidirectional ball conveyor transfers materials, the materials tip over. When it is necessary to move the side plate, pull limit rod one back. The limit rod drives limit rod one back again through the transmission component. Limit rod one and limit rod two leave from the through holes of their respective guide rods. Then the side plate can be moved up or down. The side plate is then fixed at an appropriate height by limit rod one, limit rod two and guide rod.

[0006] Preferably, the transmission component includes a push plate, and protrusions fixedly connected to the sides of the first and second limiting rods, and a waist-shaped groove formed on the push plate. The push plate includes one push plate and two push plates. The first and second push plates are vertically slidably connected to three sides of the side plate. A connecting piece is fixedly connected between two adjacent push plates. The first push plate is connected to the first limiting rod, and the two second push plates are respectively connected to the two second limiting rods. The first and second push plates are each provided with an inclined waist-shaped groove. The first waist-shaped groove is inclined from top to bottom along the direction away from the side plate. The lower end of the first waist-shaped groove on the first push plate is provided with a horizontal waist-shaped groove. The second waist-shaped groove extends in the direction away from the side plate. The first waist-shaped groove and the second waist-shaped groove communicate with each other. The protrusion of the first limiting rod is embedded in the waist-shaped groove of the first push plate, and the protrusion of the second limiting rod is embedded in the waist-shaped groove of the second push plate. The protrusions are slidably connected to the push plate.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, the side plate is moved upward, causing each sliding sleeve to rise along the guide rod. When the side plate rises to an appropriate height, the limiting rod on the sliding sleeve is aligned with the through hole on the guide rod where the sliding sleeve is located. One hand holds the limiting plate, and the other hand pushes the limiting rod one horizontally. The protrusion on one side of the limiting rod exerts force on the lower side wall of the inclined waist-shaped groove of the push plate one, thereby causing the push plate one to move downward relative to the side plate. The moving push plate one drives the other push plate two to move downward through the connecting piece. The upper side wall of the waist-shaped groove of the moving push plate two exerts force on the protrusion of the limiting rod two connected to the push plate two, thereby pushing the protrusion and the limiting rod two connected to the protrusion to move horizontally. The moving limiting rod one and the limiting rod two respectively pass into the through hole of the guide rod where their respective sliding sleeves are fitted, thereby fixing the side plate. When moving the side plate, the side plate is held by hand, and the limiting rod one is pulled back. The protrusion of the limiting rod one exerts force on the inclined waist-shaped groove of the push plate one. The upper sidewall of the push plate generates a force, causing the push plate 1 to move upward relative to the side plate. The push plate 1 drives the push plate 2 to move upward through the connecting piece. The push plate 2 drives the limiting rod 2 connected to the push plate 2 to return through the waist groove 1 and the protrusion. When the protrusion of the limiting rod 1 moves to the connection between the waist groove 1 and the waist groove 2 on the push plate 1, the limiting rod 1 and the limiting rod 2 leave the through hole of their respective guide rods. The limiting rod 1 continues to move, and the protrusion of the limiting rod 1 moves to the horizontal waist groove 2. The protrusion generates an upward force on the horizontal waist groove 2 of the push plate 1. The protrusion blocks the push plate 1, preventing the push plate 1 from falling again under its own weight, thereby pushing the limiting rod into the through hole of the guide rod. At the same time, the push plate 2, which is connected to the push plate 1 through the connecting piece, will not move downward relative to the side plate due to gravity, and will not push the limiting rod 2 to move. Thus, the limiting rod 1 and the limiting rod 2 are in the state of leaving the through hole of the guide rod, and then the side plate moves upward or downward.

[0008] Preferably, each of the limiting rod 1 and the limiting rod 2 has a protrusion fixedly connected to both sides. The pushing plate 1 has a pair and the pushing plate 2 has two pairs. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the two pushing plates 1 or the two pushing plates 2 of the same pair. The connecting plate is slidably connected to the side plate. The limiting rod 1 is located between the two pushing plates 1. The protrusions on both sides of the limiting rod 1 are respectively embedded in the waist-shaped grooves of the two pushing plates 1. The limiting rod 2 is located between the two pushing plates 2. The protrusions on both sides of the limiting rod 2 are respectively embedded in the waist-shaped grooves of the two pushing plates 2.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sidewalls of the waist-shaped grooves of the two push plates exert force on the protrusions on both sides of the limiting rod, so that the limiting rod (or the limiting rod) is subjected to uniform force, thereby increasing the stability of the movement of the limiting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the protrusions of the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod are rotatably connected to rotating wheels. The rotating wheel on the protrusion of the first limiting rod is embedded in the waist-shaped groove of the first push plate, and the rotating wheel on the protrusion of the second limiting rod is embedded in the waist-shaped groove of the second push plate. The rotating wheels are in rolling connection with the push plate.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, pulling the limiting rod one moves the rotating wheel on the protrusion of the limiting rod, which exerts a force on the side wall of the waist-shaped groove of the push plate one. The force between the rotating wheel on the protrusion and the push plate one causes the push plate one to move. At the same time, the force between the two causes the rotating wheel to rotate. The moving push plate one drives the push plate two to move. The side wall of the waist-shaped groove of the push plate two exerts a force on the rotating wheel on the protrusion of the limiting rod two, which drives the rotating wheel to move and rotate. The rotating wheel on the push plate two drives the limiting rod two to move through the protrusion, reducing the friction between the protrusion and the push plate, and making the movement of the push plate and the limiting rod smoother.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate.

[0013] The above technical solution allows for easy movement of the side panel by pulling on the handle. Attached Figure Description

[0018] See Figures 6 to 8 It also includes a limiting rod, which is divided into a limiting rod 7 and two limiting rods 8. Two of the sliding sleeves 5 of the side plate 3 are respectively threaded with horizontal limiting rods 8, and the other sliding sleeve 5 is threaded with horizontal limiting rod 7. Each of the limiting rods 7 and the limiting rods 8 has a protrusion 9 integrally formed on both sides. A rotating wheel 16 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 9. The limiting rods 7 and the limiting rods 8 are slidably connected to their respective sliding sleeves 5.

[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 It also includes push plates with waist-shaped grooves. The push plates include a pair of push plates 10 and two pairs of push plates 11. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected between the two push plates 10 or the two push plates 11 in the same pair. A locking block is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 15. The locking block has a locking groove. The pair of push plates 10 and the two pairs of push plates 11 are located on three sides of the side plate 3. Vertical slide rails are fixedly connected to the three sides of the side plate 3. The locking groove of the locking block on the connecting plate 15 between each pair of push plates is respectively embedded in the slide rail on the side plate 3 where the push plate is located. The locking block is slidably connected to the slide rail. A connecting piece 12 is fixedly connected between each pair of adjacent push plates. Push plate 10 is connected to limit rod 7, and the two pairs of push plates 11 are respectively connected to two limit rods 8.

[0020] See Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 6 to 8Push plate 10 and push plate 21 are respectively provided with inclined waist-shaped groove 13. The waist-shaped groove 13 is inclined from top to bottom along the direction away from the side plate 3. At the lower end of the waist-shaped groove 13 on push plate 10, a horizontal waist-shaped groove 24 is provided. The waist-shaped groove 24 extends in the direction away from the side plate 3 and the waist-shaped groove 13 and the waist-shaped groove 214 are connected. Limiting rod 17 is located between the two push plates 10 in the same pair. The rotating wheels 16 on the protrusions 9 on both sides of the limiting rod 17 are respectively embedded in the waist-shaped grooves of the two push plates 10. Limiting rod 28 is located between the two push plates 21 in the same pair. The rotating wheels 16 on the protrusions 9 on both sides of the limiting rod 28 are embedded in the waist-shaped grooves of the two push plates 21. The rotating wheels 16 are in rolling connection with the push plates.

[0021] Working principle: Move the side plate 3 upwards. The side plate 3 drives each sliding sleeve 5 to rise along the guide rod 4. When the side plate 3 rises to an appropriate height range, align the limiting rod on the sliding sleeve 5 with the through hole 6 on the guide rod 4 where the sliding sleeve 5 is located. Hold the limiting plate with one hand and push the limiting rod 7 horizontally with the other hand. The rotating wheel 16 of the protrusion 9 on the side of the limiting rod 7 exerts a force on the lower side wall of the inclined waist-shaped groove 13 of the push plate 10, thereby causing the push plate 10 to move downwards relative to the side plate 3. The moving push plate 10 drives the other push plate 11 to move downwards through the connecting piece 12. The upper side wall of the waist-shaped groove 13 on the surface of the moving push plate 11 exerts a force on the rotating wheel 16 on the protrusion 9 of the limiting rod 8 connected to the push plate 11, thereby pushing the rotating wheel 16 of the protrusion 9 to move and rotate horizontally. The rotating wheel 16 drives the protrusion 9 and the limiting rod 8 connected to the protrusion 9 to move horizontally. The movable limiting rods 7 and 8 are respectively inserted into the through holes 6 of the guide rods 4, which are fitted by their respective sliding sleeves 5, thereby fixing the side plate 3 and keeping it stably at its height. The side plate 3 limits the material on the support base 1 to prevent it from tipping over when the material is transferred by the universal ball 2 conveyor.

[0022] When moving side plate 3, hold side plate 3 with your hand and pull limit rod 7 back. The wheel 16 of the protrusion 9 of limit rod 7 exerts force on the upper side wall of the inclined waist-shaped groove 13 of push plate 10, causing push plate 10 to move upward relative to side plate 3. Push plate 10 drives push plate 2 11 to move upward through connecting piece 12. Push plate 2 11 drives limit rod 2 8 connected to push plate 2 11 back through waist-shaped groove 13 and protrusion 9. When the protrusion 9 of limit rod 7 moves to the connection between waist-shaped groove 13 and waist-shaped groove 2 14 on push plate 10, limit rod 7 and limit rod 2 8 leave the through hole 6 of their respective guide rods 4. Continue moving the limiting rod 7. The protrusion 9 of the limiting rod 7 moves into the horizontal waist-shaped groove 14. The rotating wheel 16 of the protrusion 9 exerts an upward force on the horizontal waist-shaped groove 14 of the push plate 10. The protrusion 9 blocks the push plate 10, preventing it from falling again under its own weight, thereby pushing the limiting rod into the through hole 6 of the guide rod 4. At the same time, the push plate 11 connected to the push plate 10 through the connecting piece 12 will not move downward relative to the side plate 3 due to gravity, and will not push the limiting rod 8 to move. Thus, the limiting rods 7 and 8 are in the state of leaving the through hole 6 of the guide rod 4, and then the side plate 3 is moved up or down.
