Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In industrial production and logistics sorting scenarios, the efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability of material conveying to different specifications are crucial for ensuring smooth production processes. Traditional material conveying mechanisms have several shortcomings: First, they are poorly adaptable to materials of different sizes, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to accommodate multiple types of materials; second, the positioning accuracy at the material tail end is insufficient, affecting the efficiency of subsequent robotic arm material handling; and third, materials are prone to colliding with transmission components (such as sprockets) or deviating from the side and falling off, leading to material damage or conveying interruption.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a material conveying mechanism that is highly adaptable, accurately positioned, and provides good protection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of the prior art and provide a material conveying mechanism that enables multi-specification material adaptation, precise tail-end positioning, protection of materials and transmission components, and cost and energy optimization.

[0005] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions: A material conveying mechanism, comprising: A roller conveyor table includes symmetrically arranged first roller guards and second roller guards. The two ends of a plurality of rollers are respectively movably connected to the first roller guards and the second roller guards. A sprocket is provided at the same end of each roller. Each sprocket is engaged by a chain. The chain is engaged with a motor sprocket. The motor sprocket is connected to the shaft of a motor. A roller conveyor support is provided below the roller conveyor table to support the roller conveyor table, and a motor support for mounting the motor is provided on the roller conveyor support. The tail beam is located at the tail end of the roller conveyor table. The two ends of the tail beam are respectively connected to the first roller sidewall and the second roller sidewall to support the first roller sidewall and the second roller sidewall. A rodless cylinder is disposed on the side of the tail beam facing the roller conveyor table; A material pusher plate is disposed at the end of a pusher arm, and the other end of the pusher arm is disposed on the slider piston of the rodless cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, a tail baffle is provided on the tail crossbeam, the tail baffle including a transverse baffle and a longitudinal baffle that are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, a positioning baffle is provided at the tail baffle, which is used to limit and block the material pushed by the material pusher.

[0008] Furthermore, the second roller flange is connected to a sprocket cover plate, which is used to cover each of the sprockets.

[0009] Furthermore, a material side baffle is provided on the sprocket cover plate, which is used to limit the material on one side of the roller conveyor table.

[0010] Furthermore, a sensor mounting plate is provided on the material side baffle near the tail end of the roller conveyor. This mounting plate is used to install a sensing sensor. When the sensor detects material contact, it indicates that material has entered the tail end of the roller conveyor, and a signal is sent to the electrical control cabinet to trigger the rodless cylinder to operate. The material pusher then pushes the material to the designated picking position. In this embodiment, the control cabinet uses conventional technology in the field of electrical control for the control of the sensor, rodless cylinder, and motor; its principles will not be elaborated here.

[0011] Furthermore, the first roller baffle is provided with a baffle adjustment assembly, which includes a baffle parallel to the first roller baffle. The outer side of the baffle is perpendicularly connected to a pair of optical axes. The two optical axes are movably supported by a pair of T-shaped supports set on the top of the first roller baffle. The T-shaped supports are provided with optical axis through holes that can accommodate the optical axes. The distance between the baffle and the material side baffle can be adjusted by moving the optical axes. To ensure that the optical axes do not move freely along the optical axis through holes after the position is adjusted, a locking screw through hole that can extend into the optical axis through hole can be provided on the T-shaped support. After the position of the optical axis and the optical axis through hole is adjusted, the locking screw is screwed into the locking screw through hole so that the end of the locking screw presses against the outer wall of the optical axis to achieve the purpose of locking.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a non-powered small roller assembly, which includes a non-powered roller support. Several small rollers are movably connected to the non-powered roller support. The non-powered roller support is supported by a set of support beams on the roller line support. Each small roller is arranged crosswise with each roller.

[0013] Furthermore, a small roller is provided between two adjacent rollers, and the upper surface of each roller is horizontal with the upper surface of each small roller.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the small roller is less than the length of the main roller.

[0015] The material conveying mechanism provided by this utility model allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the baffle and the material side baffle via a baffle adjustment component, adapting to materials of different widths and specifications. This eliminates the need for separate equipment for various material types, significantly improving versatility. A rodless cylinder, in conjunction with a push arm and material push plate, along with a tail baffle and positioning baffle, can precisely push the tail end of the material to the designated picking position with high positioning accuracy, effectively connecting to subsequent robotic arm picking and improving automation efficiency. A sprocket cover prevents material from colliding with the sprocket and blocks debris from entering the transmission area. Material side baffles prevent material from shifting and falling, and a tail transverse baffle protects the rodless cylinder, providing multi-directional protection to reduce material damage and transmission failures. The unpowered small roller assembly provides continuous support for long materials to avoid bumps, and its unpowered design reduces manufacturing costs and energy consumption, achieving stable and efficient conveying overall, suitable for industrial production, logistics sorting, and other scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, this solution provides a material conveying mechanism, including: A roller conveyor 1 includes a first roller guard 101 and a second roller guard 102 symmetrically arranged. The two ends of a plurality of rollers 2 are respectively movably connected to the first roller guard 101 and the second roller guard 102. A sprocket 201 is provided at the same end of each roller 2. Each sprocket 201 is engaged by a chain. The chain is engaged with a motor sprocket. The motor sprocket is connected to the shaft of a motor. Roller conveyor support 3 is disposed below the roller conveyor table 1 to support the roller conveyor table 1, and the roller conveyor support 3 is provided with a motor support 301 for mounting the motor. Tail crossbeam 4 is disposed at the tail end of the roller conveyor table 1. The two ends of the tail crossbeam 4 are respectively connected to the first roller sidewall 101 and the second roller sidewall 102 to support the first roller sidewall 101 and the second roller sidewall 102. Rodless cylinder 5, the rodless cylinder 5 is disposed on the side of the tail beam 4 facing the roller conveyor table 1; Material push plate 7 is disposed at the end of push arm 6, and the other end of push arm 6 is disposed on slider piston 501 of rodless cylinder 5.

[0020] Working principle: Under the drive of the motor, the chain can drive each of the sprockets 201 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving each of the rollers 2 to rotate synchronously to transport materials; the rodless cylinder 5 can drive the slider piston 501 to move the push arm 6 and the material push plate 7 to push the material conveyed to the tail end of the roller conveyor table 1 to the designated picking position.

[0021] like Figure 1 — Figure 3As shown, this conveying mechanism mainly includes a roller conveyor table 1, a roller support 3, a tail beam 4, a rodless cylinder 5, a push arm 6, a material push plate 7, and auxiliary components such as a tail baffle 8, a sprocket cover plate 9, a material side baffle 10, a side adjustment assembly 11, and a non-powered small roller assembly 12. All components work together to complete material conveying, positioning, and protection.

[0022] As a further explanation of the structure, connection relationship and technical effect of each component in the embodiment, the following are provided: (1) Roller conveyor and power transmission system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0023] The roller conveyor 1 includes a symmetrical first roller sidewall 101 and a second roller sidewall 102. Several rollers 2 are movably connected to the two sidewalls at both ends by bearings (ensuring that the rollers can rotate smoothly around their own axes). A sprocket 201 is fixed at the same end of each roller 2. The sprocket 201 is engaged by a chain. The chain is also engaged with a motor sprocket. The motor sprocket is keyed to the motor shaft.

[0024] The motor is mounted on the motor bracket 301 of the roller conveyor bracket 3 (providing a stable mounting base for the motor); the roller conveyor bracket 3 is located below the roller conveyor table 1 and supports the entire conveyor table.

[0025] When the motor starts, the shaft drives the motor sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives all sprockets 201 to rotate synchronously via the chain. Since the sprockets 201 are fixed coaxially with the rollers 2, each roller 2 rotates synchronously, providing forward driving force for the material at the front end, and realizing stable horizontal transmission of the material to the rear end. The power transmission is reliable and uniform.

[0026] (2) Tail-end positioning components, such as Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown.

[0027] The rodless cylinder 5 is fixed to the tail beam 4 (facing the roller conveyor) by bolts; the push arm 6 is fixed to the slider piston 501 of the rodless cylinder 5; the material push plate 7 is fixed to the end of the push arm 6.

[0028] The tail beam 4 provides a mounting carrier for the rodless cylinder 5, ensuring its stable position in the conveying direction.

[0029] When the material is conveyed to the tail end, the slider piston 501 of the rodless cylinder 5 drives the push arm 6 and the material push plate 7 to move, pushing the material to the designated picking position, realizing precise positioning at the tail end and improving the efficiency of automated connection with the subsequent robotic arm.

[0030] (3) Tail baffle and positioning baffle, such as Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown.

[0031] The tail baffle 8 is located on the tail crossbeam 4 and includes a transverse baffle 801 and a longitudinal baffle 802 that are perpendicular to each other; the positioning baffle 13 is located at the tail baffle 8.

[0032] The transverse / longitudinal baffles are fixed to the tail beam 4 by welding or bolts; the positioning baffle 13 is connected to the tail baffle 8. Wherein: Horizontal baffle 801: shields the rodless cylinder 5, reduces dust and debris corrosion, and improves the overall appearance of the mechanism.

[0033] Longitudinal baffle 802: Perpendicular to the conveying direction, it intercepts the material at the tail end to prevent it from moving too far forward due to inertia and leaving the conveyor table.

[0034] Positioning baffle 13: In conjunction with longitudinal baffle 802, it limits and blocks the pushed material, so that the material stops stably at the designated position, thereby further improving the positioning accuracy.

[0035] (4) Sprocket protection components, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0036] The sprocket cover plate 9 is connected to the second roller side guard 102; the material side guard plate 10 is provided on the sprocket cover plate 9.

[0037] The sprocket cover plate 9 covers the outer side of the sprocket 201, and the material side baffle 10 extends along the conveying direction and is fixed to the sprocket cover plate 9. Wherein: Sprocket cover plate 9: It covers the sprocket 201 to prevent materials from colliding with the sprocket 201 and to prevent the sprocket 201 from scratching the materials; at the same time, it blocks debris and dust from entering the sprocket-chain meshing area to ensure the smooth operation of the transmission system.

[0038] Material side baffle 10: limits the material on one side of the conveyor table to prevent the material from shifting or falling, and ensures the stability and continuity of the conveying.

[0039] (5) Edge adjustment assembly, such as Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown.

[0040] The edge adjustment assembly 11 is provided on the first roller edge 101, including a baffle 1101 parallel to the first roller edge 101. A pair of optical axes 1102 are vertically connected to the outer side of the baffle 1101. The two optical axes 1102 are movably supported by a pair of T-shaped supports 1103 at the top of the first roller edge 101 (the T-shaped supports 1103 have optical axis through holes for mounting the optical axes 1102, allowing the optical axes 1102 to slide smoothly).

[0041] The optical axis 1102 is fixed to the baffle 1101. The optical axis 1102 passes through the optical axis through hole of the T-shaped support 1103. The T-shaped support 1103 is fixed to the top of the first roller sidewall 101.

[0042] The optical shaft 1102 is pushed to move along the conveying direction within the optical shaft through hole, which can drive the baffle 1101 to move synchronously. The distance between the baffle 1101 and the material side baffle 10 can be adjusted to make the mechanism adaptable to materials of different widths, greatly improving the versatility for multiple types of materials, and eliminating the need to configure separate equipment for different materials.

[0043] (6) Non-powered small roller assembly, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0044] The non-powered small roller assembly 12 includes a non-powered roller bracket 1201, on which several small rollers 1202 are movably connected by bearings (the small rollers 1202 can rotate around their own axis); the non-powered roller bracket 1202 is supported by a bracket beam 302 on the roller line bracket 3 (the bracket beam 302 is fixed to the roller line bracket 3, and the non-powered roller bracket 1201 is placed / fixed to the bracket beam 302).

[0045] Each small roller 1202 is arranged crosswise with the roller 2 of the conveyor table (one small roller 1202 is set between two adjacent rollers 2), and the upper surfaces of the roller 2 and the small roller 1202 are horizontal.

[0046] This component provides a continuous support surface for long materials, preventing them from being suspended or bumping due to the gap between the rollers, ensuring smooth conveying and reducing surface damage to the materials.

[0047] The small roller 1202 has a non-powered structure, relying solely on the material to passively rotate, reducing the use of power components and lowering manufacturing costs and energy consumption; moreover, the low-friction characteristics of passive rotation further reduce wear on the material surface.

[0048] The above description is only for illustrating the embodiments of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
