Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically to a vertical bend steering assembly and conveying mechanism for material climbing. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial automated production and material handling systems, vertical elbow steering assemblies, as key connecting components, are widely used in the direction-changing stages of material conveying lines, playing an irreplaceable role, especially in complex operating conditions requiring the conversion between vertical lifting and horizontal conveying of materials. With the deepening trend of intelligent and flexible development in manufacturing, material conveying systems are facing increasingly higher technical requirements and challenges.
[0003] In existing technologies, most vertical elbow steering assemblies adopt welding or one-piece molding processes. While this design ensures structural strength to a certain extent, in actual use, the upper part of the vertical elbow steering assembly directly bears the high-speed impact and continuous friction of materials, making it prone to wear. Due to the limitations of the process, vertical elbow steering assemblies designed with welding or one-piece molding processes cannot replace the damaged upper part individually; the entire vertical elbow assembly must be disassembled and replaced. Furthermore, modern industrial production lines often face the need for process adjustments, capacity upgrades, or layout optimizations. However, due to the integral structural characteristics of welded or one-piece molded vertical elbow steering assemblies, when the conveying line needs to be expanded, the steering angle needs to be adjusted, or the conveying capacity needs to be increased, operators must disassemble or completely replace the entire assembly, increasing operation and maintenance costs.
[0004] Based on this, this application proposes a vertical bend steering assembly and conveying mechanism for material climbing. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] This utility model provides an embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1-6 A vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing includes an upper module and a lower module. The upper module includes a steering plate 7 and two upper side plates 2. The steering plate 7 is located between the two upper side plates 2 and is detachably connected to the upper side plates 2 via bolts. With this configuration, when the steering plate 7 wears due to prolonged contact with materials, the user only needs to loosen the connecting bolts to quickly disassemble and replace the steering plate 7, eliminating the need to replace the upper side plates 2 or other upper module components. This significantly shortens the maintenance time cycle and reduces material and labor costs associated with component replacement. Furthermore, in scenarios requiring upgrades to the conveying mechanism, such as adjusting the conveying width or optimizing the material turning path, the upper module can be flexibly adapted by replacing the steering plate 7 with one of different widths, thus improving the efficiency of equipment modification.
[0029] The upper and lower modules are detachably connected. The lower module includes two lower side plates 1 and a central support plate 12. The central support plate 12 is located between the two lower side plates 1 and is detachably connected to the lower side plates 1. The lower side plates 1 and the central support plate 12 form the skeleton of the lower module. The central support plate 12 is U-shaped. A bearing plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the inner side of the lower side plate 1. The bearing plate 9 is detachably connected to the lower side plate 1. The bottom of the central support plate 12 is tightly fitted to the top of the bearing plate 9. When the central support plate 12 is connected to the lower side plate 1, the bearing plate 9 can support the central support plate 12. By dispersing the vertical pressure and impact load on the central support plate 12, the stress concentration at the connection between the lower side plate 1 and the central support plate 12 is reduced, thereby enhancing the reliability and structural stability of the connection. Furthermore, there is a gap between the two lower side plates 1. The gap size can be set according to requirements and is not limited here. By setting the gap and the support plate 9, the user can remove the central support plate 12 from below the lower module, thus avoiding the need to remove the lower side plate 1 when using this application, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of this application.
[0030] The steering plate 7 is U-shaped. When the upper and lower modules are detachably connected, the bottom of the steering plate 7 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the central support plate 12. The central support plate 12 supports the steering plate 7, improves the support strength of the steering plate 7, avoids deformation or damage to the steering plate 7 due to excessive local stress, extends the service life of the steering plate 7, and enhances the overall structural stability of the vertical bend steering assembly.
[0031] A lower groove 10 is provided at the top of the inner side of the lower side plate 1, and an upper groove 11 is provided at the corresponding position at the bottom of the inner side of the upper side plate 2. When the upper module is connected to the lower module, the lower groove 10 and the upper groove 11 form a placement groove. A beam connecting plate 5 is provided in the placement groove. One end of the beam connecting plate 5 is detachably connected to the lower side plate 1, and the other end of the beam connecting plate 5 extends to the outside of the placement groove and is provided with a fixing hole 6. In use, the beam connecting plate 5 can be used to connect with other components of the conveying mechanism.
[0032] A connecting plate 8 is provided on the top of the lower side plate 1. The lower groove 10 is located inside the connecting plate 8. The side of the connecting plate 8 away from the lower groove 10 and the side of the lower side plate 1 away from the lower groove 10 are located in different vertical planes. The horizontal distance between them is the same as the thickness of the vertical end of the upper side plate 2. The beam connecting plate 5 and the connecting plate 8 are detachably connected. The upper side plate 2 and the connecting plate 8 are detachably connected. When the upper side plate 2 and the connecting plate 8 are connected, the bottom of the vertical end of the upper side plate 2 is tightly fitted with the top of the lower side plate 1, and the inner side of the vertical end of the upper side plate 2 is tightly fitted with the connecting plate 8.
[0033] In Example 1, the beam connecting plate 5 and the connecting plate 8 are detachably connected by the first bolt 4, and the upper side plate 2 and the connecting plate 8 are detachably connected by the second bolt 3.
[0034] As described above, the vertical elbow steering assembly adopts a split-modular design, which allows for the replacement of only damaged parts during use, reducing maintenance costs and improving maintenance efficiency. The modules can be quickly disassembled and assembled, facilitating inspection and troubleshooting. Furthermore, the split design and modular structure of this application enable the conveying mechanism to be flexibly adjusted and expanded according to different conveying lines and operating conditions. By replacing the upper and lower modules with different specifications and models, it can adapt to conveying needs with different height differences, different conveying directions, and different material characteristics, thus improving the adaptability of this application.
[0035] Both the lower side plate 1 and the upper side plate 2 have straight sections at their ends, with a length of not less than 80 mm. The length of the straight section at one end of the lower side plate 1 and the upper side plate 2 is represented by L1, and the length of the straight section at the other end of the two is represented by L2. L1 ≥ 80 mm, L2 ≥ 80 mm.
[0036] Both the lower side plate 1 and the upper side plate 2 have arc-shaped segments in the middle, and the turning angle α and the turning radius R of the arc-shaped segments are both variable.
[0037] When the turning angle α of the arc segment is 0-90° and the turning radius R of the arc segment is ≥250mm, in Example 2, the height of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing is 75m; the length of the portion of the beam connecting plate 5 exposed outside the lower side plate 1 is 80mm, and the width of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing is 85mm or 105mm.
[0038] In Example 3, the height of the vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing is 64m, the length of the portion of the beam connecting plate 5 exposed outside the lower side plate 1 is 63mm, and the width of the vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing is 45mm.
[0039] In Example 4, the height of the vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing is 64m, the length of the portion of the beam connecting plate 5 exposed outside the lower side plate 1 is 80mm, and the width of the vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing is 65mm.
[0040] In Example 5, the turning angle α of the arc segment is 0-60°, the turning radius R of the arc segment is ≥400mm, the height of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing is 65m, the length of the portion of the beam connecting plate 5 exposed outside the lower side plate 1 is 63mm, and the width of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing is 140mm.
[0041] In Example 6, the turning angle α of the arc segment is 0-60°, the turning radius R of the arc segment is ≥500mm, the length of the portion of the beam connecting plate 5 exposed outside the lower side plate 1 is 80mm, and the height of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing is 75mm.
[0042] The present invention also provides a material climbing conveying mechanism, including a conveyor body 13 and a vertical bend steering assembly for material climbing. The conveyor body 13 and the vertical bend steering assembly are detachably connected by a beam connecting plate 5.
[0043] In summary, when using this material climbing vertical elbow steering assembly and conveying mechanism, by replacing the severely worn upper module or steering plate 7, the conveying mechanism can be quickly restored to operation and put back into use, effectively reducing downtime caused by component wear and significantly lowering the daily maintenance and overall operating costs of the equipment. Specifically, the replacement operation of the upper module is as follows: the user disconnects the connection between the upper and lower modules, removes the upper module, and quickly separates the upper and lower modules. The user precisely aligns the pre-prepared upper and lower modules to be replaced, ensuring they are in the correct installation position. Then, using the second bolt 3 and other related connecting components, the upper and lower modules are securely connected, completing the upper module replacement operation. The operation of replacing the steering plate 7 is as follows: the user removes the bearing plate 9, the center support plate 12 and the steering plate 7 in sequence. When installing the new steering plate 7, the steering plate 7, the center support plate 12 and the bearing plate 9 are installed in reverse order to replace the steering plate 7. In this process, the removal of the upper side plate 2 and the lower side plate 1 is avoided, which reduces unnecessary disassembly work, improves the replacement efficiency of the steering plate 7, reduces the risk of component damage caused by excessive disassembly, ensures the overall structural stability of the conveying mechanism, effectively shortens the equipment maintenance time and reduces the operation and maintenance cost.
[0044] Furthermore, the upper side plate 1 and the lower side plate 2 form the side plates of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing. When using this application, several side plates can be added sequentially to the outside of the vertical elbow steering assembly for material climbing to flexibly increase the width of the assembly, adapt to different scenario requirements, and improve the adaptability of this application.
