Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a core piece of equipment in logistics automation systems, transverse conveyors are widely used in warehousing and sorting, production line transfer, and dock loading and unloading. Their function is to enable rapid lateral movement of conveying units between parallel tracks to optimize spatial layout and improve logistics efficiency. Traditional transverse conveyors typically consist of a frame, movable conveying equipment (such as roller conveyors), and a drive system. The drive system often uses a motor-driven chain or belt transmission mechanism to propel the conveying equipment laterally along the frame.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following significant drawbacks:

[0004] Belt drive systems are prone to loosening and slippage: In current transverse conveyors using belt drives, when the motor drives the chain drive system through the pulleys, the belt is prone to stretching and loosening after long-term operation. This results in insufficient friction between the belt and the driving and driven pulleys, causing slippage. This not only reduces transmission efficiency but also causes a decrease in the thrust of the chain drive components, leading to slow or stuck movement of the conveying equipment. This seriously affects the stability and timeliness of cargo transfer. Although some equipment is equipped with a tensioning mechanism, traditional structures often require disassembly of parts or adjustment with the help of special tools, which is cumbersome and cannot achieve rapid maintenance during operation.

[0005] Insufficient torsional resistance of the support structure: Under heavy load conditions (such as conveying large goods or high-frequency displacement), the inertial impact of the conveying equipment will generate strong torsional stress on the support components. Conventional support components are prone to plastic deformation or weld cracking due to lack of reinforcement design, which can lead to instability of the frame structure and even cause the risk of equipment derailment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a transverse conveyor.

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

The center of the first pulley is connected to the output end of the motor, and the center of the second pulley is connected to a chain drive assembly. The chain drive assembly is used to drive the conveying equipment to move laterally along the frame.

[0011] An adjustment component is used to adjust the positions of the first adjustment plate and the second adjustment plate to adjust the distance between the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example, refer to Figures 1-4 A transverse conveyor includes a frame 1 and a conveying device 2 located above the frame 1. The conveying device 2 is a conventional conveyor; preferably, in this embodiment, a roller conveyor may be used.

[0027] The support assembly 3 includes a first crossbar 301, a side plate 302 connecting the first crossbar 301 and the frame 1, and a first stiffener 303 fixed on the side plate 302. Preferably, in this embodiment, the side plate 302 has an L-shaped cross section, and the first stiffener 303 is fixedly connected to both sides of the side plate 302. The design of the L-shaped side plate 302 and the first stiffener 303 enhances the torsional strength of the support assembly 3 and adapts to heavy-load conditions.

[0028] Mounting assembly 4 includes a first mounting plate 401 fixed to one side of the first crossbar 301, a first adjusting plate 402 perpendicularly connected to the first mounting plate 401, and a second adjusting plate 403 located below the first adjusting plate 402. The first adjusting plate 402 is provided with a first pulley 5, and the second adjusting plate 403 is provided with a second pulley 6. The first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 are connected by a belt 7. The center of the first pulley 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 10, and the center of the second pulley 6 is connected to the chain drive assembly 8. The chain drive assembly 8 is used to push the conveying equipment 2 to move laterally along the frame 1. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first adjusting plate 402 is L-shaped. The motor 10 is fixed on the first adjusting plate 402. The motor 10 drives the first pulley 5 to rotate, which in turn causes the second pulley 6 to drive the chain drive assembly 8 to move, thereby driving the conveying equipment 2 to move laterally along the frame 1 and realizing the rapid transfer of goods.

[0029] Adjustment component 9 is used to adjust the position of the first adjustment plate 402 and the second adjustment plate 403 to adjust the distance between the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6. By adjusting the distance between the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 through adjustment component 9, it can prevent the belt 7 from slipping with the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 after long-term use, ensure the normal operation of the chain drive component 8, and thus enable the conveying equipment 2 to move laterally along the frame 1.

[0030] This invention uses a motor 10 to drive the first pulley 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 6 via the belt 7, thereby driving the chain drive assembly 8 to move and pushing the conveyor 2 to move laterally. The adjustment assembly 9 adjusts the distance between the first adjustment plate 402 and the second adjustment plate 403 to change the center distance between the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6, thus tensioning the belt 7, solving the slippage problem caused by belt slack, and ensuring long-term operational stability.

[0031] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment component 9 includes a second mounting plate 901 vertically connected to the upper part of the first mounting plate 401, a plurality of first waist holes 902 penetrating the first adjustment plate 402, and a first bolt 903 passing through the first waist holes 902 to fix the first adjustment plate 402 onto the second mounting plate 901. After loosening the first bolt 903, the first adjustment plate 402 is moved longitudinally along the first waist hole 902, and the height of the first pulley 5 is adjusted and then locked. The setting of the first waist hole 902 provides continuous displacement space, realizing stepless adjustment of the tension of the belt 7. Adjustment can be completed by simply loosening or tightening the first bolt 903, reducing maintenance costs.

[0032] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a third mounting plate 904 connected to the lower part of the first mounting plate 401, a plurality of second waist holes 905 penetrating the third mounting plate 904, and a second bolt 906 passing through the second waist holes 905 to fix the second adjusting plate 403 on the third mounting plate 904, so as to simultaneously adjust the first adjusting plate 402 and the second adjusting plate 403, and adjust the distance between the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 in both directions.

[0033] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the chain drive assembly 8 includes a rotating shaft 801 centrally connected to the second pulley 6, a sprocket 802 disposed on the rotating shaft 801, a chain 803 connected to the sprocket 802, and a push block 804 disposed at the bottom of the conveying device 2 and connected to the chain 803. The second pulley 6 drives the rotating shaft 801, the sprocket 802 drives the chain 803 to move linearly, and the push block 804 pushes the conveying device to move laterally, converting the rotational motion into linear thrust, resulting in high transmission efficiency. The push block 804 is rigidly connected to the chain 803 to ensure that the conveying device moves without deviation.

[0034] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a second crossbar 805 spaced apart on the frame 1, a chain support plate 806 mounted on the second crossbar 805, and a parallel pad rail 807 connected to the bottom of the chain support plate 806. The parallel pad rail 807 is used to support the chain 803. The chain support plate 806 and the parallel pad rail 807 support the chain 803 to prevent it from derailing due to its own weight. The rigid support reduces the shaking of the chain 803 and improves the stability of operation.

[0035] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a guide rail 808 symmetrically arranged above the frame 1, a slider 809 arranged at the bottom of the conveying device 2 and slidingly engaged with the guide rail 808, and an end baffle 810 connecting the guide rail 808 and the frame 1. The cooperation between the guide rail 808 and the slider 809 limits the movement trajectory and prevents the conveying device from deviating.

[0036] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, an Oxford buffer 811 is provided on the end baffle 810. The Oxford buffer 811 can absorb the impact force of the conveying equipment and avoid damage to the structure from hard collisions.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the end baffle 810 is provided with a second stiffener 812. Preferably, the end baffle 810 in this embodiment has an L-shaped cross section. The second stiffener 812 is fixedly connected to both sides of the end baffle 810 to improve the rigidity of the end baffle 810 and prevent deformation failure.
