Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to a vertical conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, warehousing, and logistics, vertical conveyors are key equipment for achieving efficient vertical material transfer. Currently, there are many types of vertical conveyors on the market, but some shortcomings still exist in practical applications.

[0003] Existing vertical conveyors typically use two motors to drive two conveyor belts separately for material transport. This driving method not only increases the manufacturing cost of the equipment, but also makes it difficult to ensure the synchronization of the two conveyor belts during operation, which can easily lead to problems such as material conveying deviation and jamming, affecting conveying efficiency and stability.

[0004] Meanwhile, most vertical conveyors have a fixed spacing between their two conveyor belts, making them suitable only for conveying materials of specific sizes. When conveying materials of different sizes, it is necessary to replace them with conveyors of different specifications, which not only increases equipment investment costs but also reduces the equipment's versatility and flexibility.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a vertical conveyor that can solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a vertical conveyor to solve the problem.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A vertical conveyor includes a vertical support frame, with an upper support and a lower support frame fixedly installed at its top and bottom ends, respectively. The upper support frame has an upper slide rail inside, on which an upper slider is slidably mounted. The lower support frame has a lower slide rail inside, on which a lower slider is slidably mounted. An upper movable frame and a lower movable frame are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sliders, respectively. An upper idler wheel is rotatably mounted on the upper movable frame, and a lower drive wheel is rotatably mounted on the lower movable frame. The upper idler wheel and the lower drive wheel are connected by a vertical conveyor belt. An upper fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the front of the upper support frame, and a lower fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the front of the lower support frame. An upper idler wheel is rotatably mounted on the upper fixed frame, and a lower drive wheel is rotatably mounted on the lower fixed frame. The upper idler wheel and the lower drive wheel are connected by a vertical conveyor belt.

[0009] A splined shaft is rotatably mounted inside the lower support; a motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the lower fixed frame, and a drive pulley is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor; a transmission pulley is fixedly mounted on one end of the lower transmission wheel two, and the transmission pulley and the drive pulley are connected by a transmission belt.

[0010] Both the lower fixed frame and the lower movable frame are fixedly mounted with transmission shaft seats; transmission gear four and transmission gear one are rotatably mounted on the two transmission shaft seats respectively. Both transmission gear four and transmission gear one are provided with spline grooves inside and slide with the spline shaft.

[0011] A transmission gear three is fixedly installed at the end of the lower transmission wheel two, and a transmission gear two is fixedly installed at the end of the lower transmission wheel one; the transmission gear three is meshed with the transmission gear four, and the transmission gear one is meshed with the transmission gear two.

[0012] Locking blocks are fixedly installed on the sides of both the lower and upper sliders; locking grooves are provided on the front of both the upper and lower supports, and the upper and lower movable frames are fixedly connected to the corresponding locking grooves by locking bolts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model adopts a single-motor driven double-belt conveyor. The motor drives the drive pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission pulley via the transmission belt. This transmission pulley then drives the lower transmission pulley to rotate. The lower transmission pulley is driven by the meshing of transmission gears three and four, as well as the engagement of the splined shaft with transmission gears one and four. The meshing of transmission gears one and two further drives the lower transmission pulley one to rotate, ultimately achieving synchronous operation of vertical conveyor belt one and vertical conveyor belt two. This single-motor drive method not only reduces equipment costs and energy consumption but also effectively ensures the synchronous operation of the two conveyor belts, improving the stability and reliability of material conveying.

[0015] 2. This utility model enables adjustment of the distance between two conveyor belts. The upper movable frame slides on the upper slide rail via an upper slider, and the lower movable frame slides on the lower slide rail via a lower slider, thereby moving the first vertical conveyor belt and adjusting the distance between it and the second vertical conveyor belt. After adjustment, the upper and lower movable frames are fixed in their respective locking slots using locking blocks and locking bolts to ensure a fixed distance. This design allows the conveyor to adapt to the conveying needs of products of different sizes, greatly expanding the applicability of the equipment and improving its versatility and flexibility.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution for a vertical conveyor:

[0027] A vertical conveyor includes a vertical support 1, with an upper support 4 and a lower support 12 fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the vertical support 1 by bolts, respectively. The vertical support 1 provides stable support for the entire equipment.

[0028] The upper support 4 has an upper slide rail 5 inside, and an upper slider 6 is slidably mounted on the upper slide rail 5. The upper slider 6 can slide smoothly along the upper slide rail 5. The lower support 12 has a lower slide rail 13 inside, and a lower slider 28 is slidably mounted on the lower slide rail 13. The lower slider 28 can slide along the lower slide rail 13.

[0029] The upper slider 6 and the lower slider 28 are respectively fixedly connected by welding to the upper movable frame 7 and the lower movable frame 16. The upper movable frame 7 moves as the upper slider 6 slides, and the lower movable frame 16 moves as the lower slider 28 slides. An upper idler wheel 8 is rotatably mounted on the upper movable frame 7 via bearings, and a lower drive wheel 17 is rotatably mounted on the lower movable frame 16 via bearings. The upper idler wheel 8 and the lower drive wheel 17 are connected by a vertical conveyor belt 2, which is used to carry and transport materials.

[0030] An upper fixed frame 9 is bolted to the front of the upper support 4, and a lower fixed frame 18 is bolted to the front of the lower support 12. An upper idler wheel 10 is rotatably mounted on the upper fixed frame 9 via bearings, and a lower drive wheel 19 is rotatably mounted on the lower fixed frame 18 via bearings. The upper idler wheel 10 and the lower drive wheel 19 are connected by a vertical conveyor belt 3. The vertical conveyor belt 3 works in conjunction with the vertical conveyor belt 2 to complete the vertical conveying of materials.

[0031] A splined shaft 14 is rotatably mounted inside the lower support 12 via bearings, allowing free rotation. A motor 20 is bolted to one side of the lower fixed frame 18, providing power to the equipment. A drive pulley 22 is keyed to the output shaft of the motor 20, causing the drive pulley 22 to rotate synchronously when the motor 20 rotates. A drive pulley 24 is keyed to one end of the lower transmission wheel 19. The drive pulley 24 and the drive pulley 22 are connected by a drive belt 23, which drives the drive pulley 24 to rotate, thus rotating the lower transmission wheel 19.

[0032] Both the lower fixed frame 18 and the lower movable frame 16 are bolted with drive shaft seats 15, which provide mounting support for the drive gears. Drive gear 27 and drive gear 21 are rotatably mounted on the two drive shaft seats 15 via bearings. Both drive gear 27 and drive gear 21 have splined grooves inside and slide in contact with the splined shaft 14, allowing them to rotate synchronously with the splined shaft 14 and slide axially along it.

[0033] The end of the lower drive wheel 19 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 26 via a key, and the end of the lower drive wheel 17 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 25 via a key. The drive gear 26 meshes with the drive gear 27. When the lower drive wheel 19 rotates, it drives the drive gear 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 21 to rotate via the spline shaft 14. The drive gear 21 meshes with the drive gear 25. When the drive gear 21 rotates, it drives the drive gear 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower drive wheel 17 to rotate, thus achieving synchronous operation of the vertical conveyor belt 2 and the vertical conveyor belt 3.

[0034] Locking blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the sides of both the lower slider 28 and the upper slider 6 by bolts; multiple locking grooves are opened on the front of both the upper support 4 and the lower support 12. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the vertical conveyor belt 1 2 and the vertical conveyor belt 2 3, loosen the locking bolts, push the upper movable frame 7 and the lower movable frame 16, so that the upper slider 6 slides along the upper slide rail 5 and the lower slider 28 slides along the lower slide rail 13. After the distance is adjusted to the appropriate position, pass the locking bolt through the locking block 11 and screw it into the corresponding locking groove to fix the upper movable frame 7 and the lower movable frame 16, thus completing the distance adjustment.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The motor 20 is started, which drives the drive pulley 22 to rotate. The drive pulley 22 drives the transmission pulley 24 to rotate via the transmission belt 23. The transmission pulley 24 drives the lower transmission wheel 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the vertical conveyor belt 3 to rotate. Simultaneously, the lower transmission wheel 19 drives the transmission gear 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 27 to rotate. The transmission gear 27 drives the transmission gear 21 to rotate via the spline shaft 14. The transmission gear 21 drives the transmission gear 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower transmission wheel 17 to rotate. The lower transmission wheel 17 then drives the vertical conveyor belt 2 to rotate, thus achieving vertical synchronous conveying of materials. When conveying materials of different sizes, the locking bolts are loosened, and the positions of the upper movable frame 7 and the lower movable frame 16 are adjusted to change the distance between the vertical conveyor belt 2 and the vertical conveyor belt 3. After adjustment, the locking bolts are tightened.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, integrations, and parameter alterations made to these embodiments within the spirit and principles of this utility model, through conventional substitutions or methods that achieve the same function without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
