Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a dual-channel transportation mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional material container transportation methods typically employ a single conveyor belt structure. The workflow generally involves loading materials into containers in the loading area, and then transporting the full containers to a designated area via a conveyor belt for the next round of operations. However, this traditional transportation method has significant drawbacks: the equipment layout is lengthy, requiring the equipment to extend a considerable distance along the material flow direction to meet the needs of loading, transportation, and empty container return, thus increasing the equipment's footprint. Therefore, we propose an improvement by developing a dual-channel transportation mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem of the current equipment layout being too long and increasing the floor space required.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides a dual-channel transport mechanism to improve the aforementioned problems.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transfer structure further includes a lifting mechanism, and the third belt conveyor is mounted on the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the third belt conveyor to lift and lower, so as to realize the docking of the third belt conveyor with the first belt conveyor or the second belt conveyor.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lifting mechanism includes a linear module, a connecting frame is provided on the linear module, and the third belt conveyor is installed on the connecting frame.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support structure further includes multiple reinforcing beams, which are connected to the bottom end of the support column.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, both the reinforcing beam and the supporting column are made of aluminum profiles.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the scheme of this application: To address the problem of lengthy equipment layouts and increased floor space in existing technologies, this application proposes a first belt conveyor and a second belt conveyor, arranged one above the other, to achieve independent transport of filled and empty containers on different channels.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0020] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0021] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-2 A dual-channel transport mechanism includes a first belt conveyor 2 and a second belt conveyor 3 located above the first belt conveyor 2. The second belt conveyor 3 and the first belt conveyor 2 are used to transport containers filled with materials and empty containers, respectively. A support structure 1 is provided between the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3 to support the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3. The second belt conveyor 3 and the first belt conveyor 2 are arranged one above the other, realizing the independent transport of filled containers and empty containers on different channels. The three-dimensional transport layout makes full use of vertical space, effectively shortens the overall length of the equipment, and reduces the equipment's floor space. Since the filled containers and empty containers are transported on different channels, there is no interference between the two transport channels, which is convenient for use.
[0022] Furthermore, a transfer structure is provided between one end of the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3. The transfer structure is used to transport containers between the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3 to realize the switching of containers between the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3.
[0023] Furthermore, the transfer structure includes a third belt conveyor 5, which is located between one end of the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3; the third belt conveyor 5 is used to transport containers between the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3.
[0024] Furthermore, the transfer structure also includes a lifting mechanism 4, and a third belt conveyor 5 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 4 is used to drive the third belt conveyor 5 to lift and lower, so as to realize the docking of the third belt conveyor 5 with the first belt conveyor 2 or the second belt conveyor 3, thereby realizing the switching of containers between the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a linear module 401, on which a connecting frame 402 is provided. The third belt conveyor 5 is installed on the connecting frame 402. The linear module 401 can drive the connecting frame 402 to lift, and thus can drive the third belt conveyor 5 to lift.
[0026] Furthermore, the conveyor belts of the first belt conveyor 2, the second belt conveyor 3, and the third belt conveyor 5 are all provided with anti-slip textures to prevent the containers from sliding during the conveying process, thereby improving the stability of the containers during the conveying process. The first belt conveyor 2, the second belt conveyor 3, and the third belt conveyor 5 are all existing devices, and their specific structures, operating principles, and control methods are all existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.
[0027] Furthermore, the support structure 1 includes several support columns 102, which are all connected to the sides of the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3. The support columns 102 are arranged vertically and can support the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3.
[0028] Furthermore, the support structure 1 also includes multiple reinforcing beams 101, which are connected to the bottom end of the support column 102. The reinforcing beams 101 can reinforce the support column 102 to improve its support capacity.
[0029] Furthermore, both the reinforcing beam 101 and the supporting column 102 are made of aluminum profiles, which are lightweight and high-strength, so that the reinforcing beam 101 and the supporting column 102 can provide stable support for the first belt conveyor 2 and the second belt conveyor 3.
[0030] The dual-channel transportation mechanism provided by this utility model is used as follows: Taking the second belt conveyor 3 conveying a container filled with material and the first belt conveyor 2 conveying an empty container as an example, for ease of understanding, this application uses A to represent a container filled with material, B to represent an empty container, and C to represent material. An empty container is placed on the first belt conveyor 2. The linear module 401 and the connecting frame 402 work together to drive the third belt conveyor 5 to descend and dock with the first belt conveyor 2. The first belt conveyor 2 and the third belt conveyor 5 are started, so that the empty container is conveyed by the first belt conveyor 2 to the third belt conveyor 5. The third belt conveyor 5 is driven by the linear module 401 and the connecting frame 402 to rise and dock with the second belt conveyor 3. When the container is full of material, the third belt conveyor 5 and the second belt conveyor 3 are started to transport the container to the second belt conveyor 3, and then the second belt conveyor 3 can transport it to the subsequent processing area.
