Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic support technology, specifically a conveying and alignment mechanism for photovoltaic support tubes. Background Technology

[0002] As the "skeleton" of a solar power plant, the quality of the photovoltaic support structure is directly related to the safety and lifespan of the power plant. The main body of the support structure is composed of a large number of standardized length metal tubes. These tubes need to go through multiple processes such as cutting, deburring, conveying, drilling and even packaging during production. Among them, the flatness of the tube ends is a crucial quality indicator. It is not only a prerequisite for achieving high-precision automated drilling, but also directly affects the efficiency of subsequent bundling and packaging, transportation safety and the smoothness of final assembly at the power plant site. In the existing production process, the pipes are very prone to random rolling and sliding on the conveyor belt due to factors such as their own roundness / straightness tolerance, conveyor belt vibration, and uneven roller friction, resulting in uneven ends and chaotic axial reference when they are transported to the processing station. Since the positioning program of CNC drilling machines usually uses a unified mechanical coordinate system as the zero point, the different actual positions of the pipe ends will directly cause a huge deviation in the distance between the drilling position and the pipe end face. This will result in a large number of support pipe installation holes not being aligned at the power plant construction site. Construction workers will be forced to enlarge the holes on site or forcibly pry them, which will not only greatly reduce the installation efficiency, but also seriously damage the design strength of the structure and create safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a conveying and alignment mechanism for photovoltaic support tubes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The device includes a support body, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the top of the support body, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, an extension plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate, a stepper motor fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the mounting frame, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor, a connecting rod rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod, a guide rod fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, a movable plate slidably connected to the top of the guide rod, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable plate at the end away from the rotating rod, a column fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, a locking plate fixedly connected to the end of the column away from the movable plate, a first abutment plate slidably connected to the top of the locking plate, and a second abutment plate slidably connected to the top of the locking plate.

[0005] The support plate is located above the movable plate, and there is a gap between the support plate and the movable plate. By setting a gap between the support plate and the movable plate, the two are prevented from colliding when the movable plate moves toward the support plate.

[0006] A round rod is fixedly connected to the end of the second contact plate away from the first contact plate. A bearing is provided on the outer wall of the round rod. A rotating belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the second contact plate. The inner wall of the rotating belt is in contact with the outer wall of the outer ring of the bearing. By setting the round rod and the bearing, the friction between the rotating belt and the first and second contact plates is reduced, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating belt.

[0007] A mounting block is fixedly connected to the top of the first contact plate, and a threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the second contact plate. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the mounting block. The outer side wall of the threaded rod away from the mounting block is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the threaded sleeve. By setting up the mounting block, threaded sleeve, and threaded rod, it is convenient for the operator to adjust the distance between the first and second contact plates, so as to adjust the tension of the rotating belt.

[0008] The top of the second contact plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the second contact plate is slidably connected to a slider through the sliding groove. The end of the threaded rod away from the mounting block is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the slider. By setting the sliding groove and the slider, the threaded rod can be supported and the threaded rod can be prevented from shaking during use.

[0009] The second contact plate has a slot on its outer side wall at the end away from the first contact plate. The second contact plate is engaged with a limiting plate through the slot. By setting the limiting plate, the rotating belt can be limited, preventing the rotating belt from detaching from the first and second contact plates during use.

[0010] A conveyor belt is provided on the top of the main body of the support. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the extension plate. A partition is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt. By setting the partition, it is easy to separate the pipes and avoid the pipes from being concentrated.

[0011] This utility model provides a conveying and alignment mechanism for photovoltaic support tubes. It has the following beneficial effects: The use of mounting brackets, support plates, extension plates, stepper motors, rotating rods, connecting rods, guide rods, moving plates, clamping plates, and first contact plates facilitates the pushing of both ends of several conveying pipes, thereby aligning the pipes and preventing the ends of the pipes from being on the same axial reference line during subsequent processing. This improves the uniformity of the drilling positions of the pipes and avoids situations such as hole enlargement, forced assembly, or component scrapping on the installation site due to misaligned holes.

[0012] The use of mounting blocks, threaded sleeves, threaded rods, grooves, and sliders facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the first and second contact plates, thereby adjusting the surface tension of the rotating belt and preventing it from becoming too loose during use, which could cause the rotating belt to detach from the first and second contact plates.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] like Figures 1-5The following describes a photovoltaic support tube conveying and alignment mechanism, comprising a support body 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support body 1, two crossbeams arranged in the middle of the support body 1, the mounting frame 2 located above the crossbeams and fixedly connected to the support body 1 via the two crossbeams, a support plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2, an extension plate 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 3, several extension plates 4 being arranged, the extension plates 4 being divided into two parts and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the extension plates 4, a stepper motor 5 fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the mounting frame 2, the stepper motor 5 being connected to an external power supply, a rotating rod 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 5, the connection point of the rotating rod 6 and the output end of the stepper motor 5 being located at the center of the rotating rod 6, a connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 6, two connecting rods 7 being arranged, the two connecting rods 7 being rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating rod 6 respectively, taking one connecting rod 7 as an example here, and a guide rod fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. 8. Two guide rods 8 are provided, symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the mounting bracket 2. The top of each guide rod 8 is provided with a groove, and a movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the top of the guide rod 8. The bottom of the movable plate 9 is provided with a protrusion, which is located inside the groove to realize the sliding connection between the guide rod 8 and the movable plate 9. The end of the connecting rod 7 away from the rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 9. A column 901 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 9. Multiple columns 901 are provided and are arranged in a linear array along the top of the movable plate 9. A clamping plate 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the multiple columns 901 away from the movable plate 9. A first abutment plate 11 is slidably connected to the top of the clamping plate 10, and a second abutment plate 12 is slidably connected to the top of the clamping plate 10. The opposite ends of the first abutment plate 11 and the second abutment plate 12 have the same structure. The positions of several extension plates 4 are respectively aligned with the gaps formed between several movable plates 9.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown: The support plate 3 is located above the movable plate 9, and there is a gap between the support plate 3 and the movable plate 9. In use, the two movable plates 9 move toward the support plate 3 respectively. As the two movable plates 9 move, they gradually move to the bottom of the support plate 3, thereby increasing the range of movement of the two movable plates 9 and thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0018] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown: A round rod 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the second contact plate 12 away from the first contact plate 11. A round rod 19 is also provided at the end of the first contact plate 11 away from the second contact plate 12. Taking the end of the second contact plate 12 away from the first contact plate 11 as an example, a bearing 20 is provided on the outer wall of the round rod 19. Multiple bearings 20 are arranged in a linear array on the outer wall of the round rod 19. A rotating belt 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second contact plate 12. The inner wall of the rotating belt 13 is in contact with the outer wall of the outer ring of the multiple bearings 20. The first contact plate 11 is away from the second contact plate 12. One end of the contact plate 12 is also provided with multiple bearings 20, and the rotating belt 13 is sleeved on the outside of the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12. During the pipe conveying process, as the two moving plates 9 gradually move towards the support plate 3, the outer walls of the two rotating belts 13 located above the two moving plates 9 gradually come into contact with the two ends of the pipe. As the pipe is being conveyed, when the two ends of the pipe come into contact with and fit against the outer walls of the two rotating belts 13, the two rotating belts 13 rotate along several bearings 20 as the pipe moves, thereby preventing the pipe from getting stuck during the alignment process.

[0019] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown: A mounting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the first contact plate 11, and a threaded sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the second contact plate 12. A threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 14. The outer wall of the threaded rod 16 away from the mounting block 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 15. In use, the operator can rotate the threaded rod 16, and as the threaded rod 16 rotates, the threaded sleeve 15 moves linearly along the outer wall of the threaded rod 16. Because the threaded sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second contact plate 12, when the threaded rod 15 rotates, the threaded sleeve 15 moves linearly along the outer wall of the threaded rod 16. During the movement of sleeve 15, the second contact plate 12 will move synchronously, which makes it easier for the operator to adjust the distance between the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12. As the distance between the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12 gradually increases, the two ends of the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12 apply pressure to the two ends of the rotating belt 13, thereby tightening the rotating belt 13 and adjusting the tension of the outer wall of the rotating belt 13, so as to prevent the rotating belt 13 from separating from the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12 during use.

[0020] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown: The top of the second contact plate 12 is provided with a sliding groove 17. The second contact plate 12 is slidably connected to the slider 18 through the sliding groove 17. The end of the threaded rod 16 away from the mounting block 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slider 18. During the process of the operator rotating the threaded rod 16, the slider 18 supports the end of the threaded rod 16 away from the mounting block 14 to prevent the threaded rod 16 from shaking during rotation and movement, thereby preventing the threaded rod 16 from getting stuck during rotation.

[0021] like Figure 6 As shown: The outer side wall of the second contact plate 12 away from the first contact plate 11 has a slot 21. There are four slots 21, which are located at one end of the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12, respectively. The second contact plate 12 is engaged with a limiting plate 22 through the slot 21. There are four limiting plates 22, which correspond to the positions of the four slots 21. The diameter of the outer side wall of the four limiting plates 22 is larger than the diameter of the outer side wall of one end of the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12. During use, the four limiting plates 22 limit the outer side walls of both ends of the rotating belt 13 to prevent the rotating belt 13 from detaching from the first contact plate 11 and the second contact plate 12 during rotation.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown: A conveyor belt 23 is provided on the top of the support body 1. The conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the outside of the extension plate 4. A partition 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 23. Several partitions 24 are provided and distributed in an array on the top of the conveyor belt 23 to separate several pipes and avoid the pipes from being concentrated.

[0023] Working principle: like Figures 1-6 As shown: During use, after the pipes are cut to a fixed size, they are positioned at the top of the conveyor belt 23 and separated by partitions 24. Driven by an external motor, the conveyor belt 23 rotates, causing the pipes to move synchronously. During this movement, the stepper motor 5 is activated, driving the rotating rod 6 to rotate. When the rotating rod 6 rotates, it pulls the connecting rods 7 at both ends of the rotating rod 6 to rotate synchronously. Since the ends of the two connecting rods 7 furthest from the rotating rod 6 are rotatably connected to two moving plates 9, and the two moving plates 9 are slidably connected to two guide rods 8, when... When the rotating rod 6 rotates, it pulls the two connecting rods 7, and through the ends of the two connecting rods 7 away from the rotating rod 6, it pulls or pushes the two moving plates 9, causing the two moving plates 9 to slide along the two guide rods 8, adjusting the distance between the two moving plates 9. As the distance between the two moving plates 9 gradually decreases, the outer walls of the two rotating belts 13 gradually come into contact with the two ends of the pipe located at the top of the conveyor belt 23, thereby aligning the two ends of the pipe through the two rotating belts 13, so that the hole positions are uniform during subsequent drilling processing, avoiding the situation where the component is scrapped due to inconsistent hole positions during subsequent installation. At the same time, when the two rotating belts 13 come into contact with the two ends of the pipe, the pipe moves synchronously with the conveyor belt 23. Therefore, the rotating belts 13 rotate through several bearings 20 under the action of friction at both ends of the pipe, so as to avoid jamming between the pipe and the rotating belts 13 during the alignment of the pipe, thereby avoiding damage to the equipment.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
