Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product steering guidance technology, and in particular to a scratch-resistant high-gloss product steering guidance mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production process of chargers, full-process automation is the core direction for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality consistency. After the charger casing undergoes injection molding and other preliminary processes, it needs to be transported to the subsequent assembly and testing stations via conveyor belts. Because the output direction of the casings is random, they must be redirected and guided to ensure precise alignment in subsequent processes, making this a critical step in the automated charger production line.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream steering and alignment solutions in the industry have certain drawbacks. The first method involves installing fixed guide plates on both sides of the conveyor belt, using the contact between the outer casing and the guide plates to adjust the casing's posture as it moves with the belt. This solution is simple in structure and low in cost, but the hard friction between the guide plates and the casing easily causes scratches and wear on the casing surface. Especially with the current market demanding higher gloss finishes for charger casings, casings made of high-gloss ABS injection molding, transparent PC material, or with a coating will suffer scratches and damage after alignment using this solution, failing to meet high-quality production requirements.

[0004] The second approach combines visual recognition with robotic gripping. Visual sensors detect the orientation of the casing, driving the robotic arm to grasp the incorrectly oriented casing and rotate it to the correct orientation. While this reduces friction and improves alignment accuracy, traditional gripper-type robotic arms require applying clamping force, which can easily cause indentations and damage to the casing surface. Using a suction cup gripping mechanism avoids hard contact damage, but requires a negative pressure generator and high-precision pneumatic components, significantly increasing manufacturing costs. Subsequent maintenance costs, such as suction cup replacement due to aging and negative pressure system repairs, also rise considerably. This makes large-scale deployment difficult for cost-conscious small and medium-sized manufacturers. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0006] A scratch-resistant high-gloss product steering and guiding mechanism includes a belt conveyor mechanism and a steering and guiding mechanism. The belt conveyor mechanism is equipped with a conveyor belt for conveying the product. The steering and guiding mechanism includes two sets of roller guiding components arranged on both sides of the belt conveyor mechanism. Multiple guiding rollers are rotatably connected to the opposite side of each of the two sets of roller guiding components. The multiple guiding rollers are divided into a front half and a rear half. The two sets of roller guiding components form a first funnel-shaped passage through the arrangement of the guiding rollers in the front half. The two sets of roller guiding components form a second passage with the same width through the arrangement of the guiding rollers in the rear half. The width of the front part of the first passage is greater than the maximum width of the product. The rear part of the first passage connects to the front part of the second passage. The width of the second passage corresponds to the width of the product after steering.

[0007] Preferably, the roller guiding assembly is further provided with an upper guide plate and a lower guide plate. The upper guide plate and the lower guide plate have right-angled cross sections. After the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate are spliced ​​together, they form a U-shaped cross section. The guiding roller is rotatably connected between the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate, and a part of the guiding roller protrudes beyond one side between the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate to contact the product and perform a turning and guiding operation on the product.

[0008] Preferably, the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate are fixed by screws, and a recess is formed at the lower end of the upper guide plate and a boss is formed at the upper end of the lower guide plate.

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a scratch-resistant high-gloss product steering and guiding mechanism includes a belt conveyor mechanism and a steering and guiding mechanism. The belt conveyor mechanism is provided with a conveyor belt 10 for conveying the product. The steering and guiding mechanism includes two sets of roller guiding components 20 disposed on both sides of the belt conveyor mechanism. Multiple guiding rollers 21 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two sets of roller guiding components 20. The multiple guiding rollers 21 are divided into a front half and a rear half. The two sets of roller guiding components 20 are connected by the arrangement of the guiding rollers 21 in the front half to form a trumpet-shaped first passageway 22. The two sets of roller guiding components 20 are connected by the arrangement of the guiding rollers 21 in the rear half to form a second passageway 23 with the same width. The width of the front part of the first passageway 22 is greater than the maximum width of the product. The rear part of the first passageway 22 is connected to the front part of the second passageway 23. The width of the second passageway 23 corresponds to the width of the product after steering.

[0020] The scratch-resistant high-gloss product steering and guiding mechanism transports the product via the conveyor belt 10 of the belt conveyor mechanism. When the product enters the steering and guiding mechanism, it first enters the trumpet-shaped first passageway 22 formed by the front half of the guiding rollers 21 of the two sets of roller guiding components 20. Since the width of the front part of the first passageway 22 is greater than the maximum width of the product, it can accommodate products with different initial orientations to enter smoothly. As the product is conveyed forward, the width of the first passageway 22 gradually narrows, and the guiding rollers 21 on both sides contact the product surface and adaptively adjust the product posture by rotating, gradually guiding the product to turn using the rolling friction of the rollers. When the product enters the second passageway 23 with the same width formed by the rear half of the guiding rollers 21 of the two sets of roller guiding components 20, the orientation correction has been completed. The width of the second passageway 23 matches the width of the product after correction, ensuring that the product is stably output to the subsequent process in a unified direction.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the rotating guide roller 21 contacts the product, converting the sliding friction of the traditional guide plate into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the risk of wear and scratches on the surface of high-gloss products and effectively protects the appearance quality of the products; the trumpet-shaped first passageway 22 is compatible with products with different initial orientations, eliminating the need for visual recognition and robotic gripping, simplifying the structure and reducing equipment costs; the continuous passageway formed by the two sets of roller guide components 20 enables seamless turning and guidance of products during the conveying process, without the need for stopping or gripping actions, ensuring production continuity and efficiency; the overall structure is simple and easy to maintain, suitable for high-gloss product production scenarios with high surface quality requirements, and takes into account both anti-scratch effect and economy.

[0022] Please see Figure 3-4 Based on the above technical solution, the roller guiding assembly 20 is further provided with an upper guide plate 24 and a lower guide plate 25. Both the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 have right-angled cross-sections. When the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 are joined together, they form a U-shaped cross-section. The guiding roller 21 is rotatably connected between the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25, with a portion of the guiding roller 21 protruding beyond one side between the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 to contact the product and perform a steering and guiding operation. This technical solution, by adding the right-angled upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25, which are joined together to form a U-shaped structure, provides stable installation support for the guiding roller 21. This ensures the flexibility of the guiding roller 21's rotation and, through the limiting effect of the two sides of the U-shaped structure, prevents the roller from shifting or wobbling when in contact with the product, thus improving the stability of the steering and guiding process. Meanwhile, the guide roller 21 is partially exposed on the outside of the U-shaped structure to contact the product, which not only ensures effective contact guidance with the product, but also reduces the interference of external debris on the roller rotation through the wrapping design of the upper and lower guide plates 25, which can extend the service life of the component to a certain extent.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 are fixed by screw connection, and a recess 26 is formed at the lower end of the upper guide plate 24, and a boss 27 is formed at the upper end of the lower guide plate 25. The upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 are positioned and engaged by the recess 26 and the boss 27. Through the positioning and engagement of the recess 26 and the boss 27, a precise pre-position is formed when the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 are spliced, effectively avoiding the misalignment problem of the upper and lower plates during the screw connection process, ensuring that the guide roller 21 can be stably installed in the preset position, ensuring the width accuracy of the first passage 22 and the second passage 23 formed by the two sets of roller guide components 20, thereby improving the consistency of product steering and guiding, and avoiding product jamming or guiding deviation due to component misalignment.

[0024] Please see Figure 3-4 Based on the above technical solution, a further proposed method is to have a soft rubber roller 211 and a rotating shaft 212 axially disposed at both ends of the soft rubber roller 211. The guide roller 21 is connected to the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 via the rotating shaft 212. Compared with traditional hard contact parts, the soft rubber material has good elasticity and cushioning properties, which can avoid scratches and indentations caused by rigid friction when in contact with the surface of high-gloss products, further enhancing the protection of the appearance of high-gloss products. At the same time, the friction of the soft rubber material can ensure effective guidance of the product and prevent guidance failure caused by slippage. The guide roller 21 is connected to the upper guide plate 24 and the lower guide plate 25 via the rotating shaft 212, which can convert the sliding friction between the rotating shaft 212 and the guide plate into rolling friction inside the bearing, greatly reducing the friction loss between components, improving the smoothness of the rotation of the guide roller 21, making the product more stable during turning, and reducing the product posture deviation caused by roller jamming.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the belt conveyor mechanism also includes two aluminum profiles 11, a fixing seat 12 that fixes the two aluminum profiles 11 in parallel with each other, a first rotating shaft seat 13 connected to one end of the two aluminum profiles 11, a second rotating shaft seat 14 connected to the other end of the two aluminum profiles 11, a driven roller 15 rotatably connected to one end of the aluminum profiles 11 through the first rotating shaft seat 13, a driving roller 16 rotatably connected to the other end of the aluminum profiles 11 through the second rotating shaft seat 14, and a motor 17 that is fixedly engaged with the aluminum profiles 11 and poweredly connected to the driving roller 16. The belt conveyor mechanism uses two aluminum profiles 11 as its main frame. The aluminum profiles 11 provide stable support for the conveyor belt 10 and the steering and guiding mechanism, preventing conveying deviation due to frame deformation during long-term operation and ensuring the stability of high-gloss product conveying. The fixed seat 12 achieves parallel fixation of the two aluminum profiles 11, ensuring that the axes of the driven roller 15 and the driving roller 16 are precisely parallel, preventing the conveyor belt 10 from running off-track, and further improving the product conveying accuracy. The first rotating shaft seat 13 and the second rotating shaft seat 14 provide reliable rotational support for the driven roller 15 and the driving roller 16, respectively. Together with the power connection between the motor 17 and the driving roller 16, they form a stable power transmission system. The conveying speed can be adjusted according to production needs to adapt to the steering and guiding rhythm of high-gloss products of different specifications.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-2Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that connecting seats 18 be installed on the sides of the two aluminum profiles 11, and the roller guide assembly 20 be fixedly connected to the belt conveyor mechanism through the connecting seats 18. Installing connecting seats 18 on the sides of the two aluminum profiles 11 and using the connecting seats 18 to achieve a fixed connection between the roller guide assembly 20 and the belt conveyor mechanism ensures that the two sets of roller guide assemblies 20 always maintain precise alignment with the conveyor belt 10. Furthermore, the connecting seats 18 can serve as an adjustment carrier. If different specifications of high-gloss products need to be adapted during production, the spacing between the two sets of roller guide assemblies 20 can be flexibly changed simply by adjusting the installation position of the connecting seats 18 on the aluminum profiles 11, without requiring modification to the belt conveyor mechanism or the roller guide assembly 20 itself, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the mechanism.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-2 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that a fixing plate 30 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the two aluminum profiles 11, and a suction cylinder 31 is installed on the fixing plate 30, corresponding to the rear of the second passage 23. After the high-gloss product completes its turning and alignment in the second passage 23, the suction cylinder 31 can temporarily position or assist in conveying the product through negative pressure adsorption, avoiding the product from shifting or tipping due to the inertia of the conveyor belt 10, and ensuring that the product enters the subsequent process in a uniform and stable posture.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
