Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding processing technology, specifically to a conveying device for ship metal components. Background Technology

[0002] In the shipbuilding and repair industry, the steering wheel is the core actuator of the ship's navigation control system. The machining accuracy and production efficiency of its handle have a key impact on the safety and stability of ship handling. The steering wheel handle is mostly made of metal and requires multiple continuous processing steps such as forging, cutting, grinding, and surface treatment. Precise transmission between each process is an important link to ensure processing quality and improve production cycle.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses traditional belt conveyor for conveying steering wheel handles. This involves a motor driving the conveyor belt, placing the handle to be processed or the handle that has completed the previous process directly onto the conveyor belt, and then having the conveyor belt move it to the next processing position. Although this conveying method has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, in actual application, the conveying distance cannot be controlled. The handles are prone to stacking or shifting on the conveyor belt due to inertia or vibration, resulting in uneven spacing between adjacent handles. Subsequent processing equipment cannot accurately grasp or position them, requiring manual real-time adjustment, which not only increases labor costs but also seriously affects the continuity of processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveying device for ship metal components, comprising a belt conveyor, a chain conveyor, and a base frame connected to the chain conveyor. A material distribution assembly is installed on the base frame to interface with the belt conveyor and the chain conveyor. Two sets of guide plates are fixed at the head end of the chain conveyor to interface with the material distribution assembly. The chain plates of the chain conveyor are divided into long plates and short plates located on both sides of the long plates, with a gap between the short plates and the long plates. Two sets of guide strips that fit the gap are fixed at the inner tail end of the chain conveyor, and a pre-block assembly is installed at the top of the tail end. Both the belt conveyor and the chain conveyor are equipped with relatively distributed baffles. A side baffle is fixed at the tail end of the belt conveyor, and a pushing part is installed on the side near the side baffle. An inclined plate that interfaces with the material distribution assembly is fixed on the other side of the tail end of the belt conveyor.

[0005] Furthermore, both sides of the belt conveyor and the chain conveyor are fixed with multiple sets of adjustment components connected to the baffle. The adjustment components include a lower locking block, through which a rod is fixed by bolts. The rod in the lower locking block is in a vertical state. An upper locking block is fixed to the top of the rod. The upper locking block is also through which a rod is fixed by bolts. The rod in the upper locking block is in a horizontal state. The baffle is fixed to the corresponding horizontal rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the pushing part is a pushing cylinder fixed at the tail end of the belt conveyor, and the pushing end of the pushing cylinder is opposite to the material distribution component.

[0007] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly includes a rotating block rotatably connected to the base frame and connected to the drive end of the chain conveyor via a belt drive device. The outer side of the rotating block is provided with a placement groove adapted to the metal component. The rotating block is connected to the belt conveyor and the chain conveyor via a guide plate and an inclined plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the pre-block assembly includes a stepped frame, which is divided into an upper step plate and a lower step plate. A lower push cylinder is installed on one side of both the upper and lower step plates. The piston rod of the lower push cylinder is fixed to a pre-block plate located above the guide strip. The two sets of pre-block plates are separated by a certain distance.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The conveying device for ship metal components uses a combination of a material distribution component and a belt drive to intermittently transfer the belt-conveyed components to a chain plate, initially controlling the spacing between components. The gap between the long and short plates of the chain plate, along with the guide strip, guides the metal components. In conjunction with the tail end pre-block component, the output spacing is further refined through the alternating action of double pre-block plates. This completely solves the problems of component stacking and uneven spacing in traditional conveying. The entire process does not require manual adjustment of component position and spacing, reducing labor costs. Precise conveying ensures the gripping and positioning accuracy of subsequent processing equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a conveying device for ship metal components includes a belt conveyor 1, a chain conveyor 6, and a base frame 5 connected to the chain conveyor 6. A material distribution component is installed on the base frame 5 to connect with the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 6. The material distribution component is used to transfer the components conveyed by the belt conveyor 1 to the chain conveyor 6 one by one to achieve preliminary spacing control. The metal component is a steering wheel handle, and will be referred to as a component in the following description.

[0018] Both the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 6 are equipped with relatively distributed baffles 11. The baffles 11 can provide protection for the components during the conveying process from both sides to prevent them from falling. The tail end of the belt conveyor 1 is fixed with a side stop 4. The side stop 4 is used to limit the end of the components to prevent them from moving out, and at the same time, it can keep the components in a designated position. A pushing part is installed at the right tail end of the belt conveyor 1. The pushing part is used to push the components at the tail end of the belt towards the material distribution component. The left tail end of the belt conveyor 1 is fixed with an inclined plate 12 that cooperates with the material distribution component. The inclined plate 12 can guide the components pushed by the pushing part to smoothly enter the material distribution component.

[0019] like Figure 2 Both sides of the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 6 are fixed with multiple sets of adjustment components 2 connected to the baffle 11. The adjustment components 2 include lower locking blocks 21 fixed on the left and right sides of the belt conveyor 1 and the front and rear sides of the chain conveyor 6. A rod 22 is inserted through the lower locking block 21 and locked by bolts 23. The rod 22 in the lower locking block 21 is in a vertical state. The height of the vertical rod 22 can be adjusted by loosening the bolts 23, thereby adjusting the height of the baffle 11. An upper locking block 24 is fixed to the top of the rod 22. The upper locking block 24 is also inserted with a rod 22 locked by bolts 23. The rod 22 in the upper locking block 24 is in a horizontal state. The extension length of the horizontal rod 22 can be adjusted by loosening the bolts 23, thereby adjusting the distance between the baffles 11 on both sides. The baffle 11 is fixed with the corresponding horizontal rod 22. The adjustment components 2 can be used to adapt the baffle 11 to metal components of different sizes.

[0020] The pushing part is a pushing cylinder 3 fixed at the tail end of the belt conveyor 1. The pushing end of the pushing cylinder 3 is opposite to the material distribution component. The pushing cylinder 3 can stabilize the pushing component through the extension and retraction action, which makes it easier to control the pushing force and frequency compared to the mechanical pushing structure.

[0021] like Figure 3 The material distribution assembly includes a rotating block 7 rotatably connected to the base frame 5 and connected to the drive end of the chain conveyor 6 via a belt drive 71. Multiple placement slots adapted to metal components are provided on the outer side of the rotating block 7. Two sets of guide plates 8 are fixed to the head end of the chain conveyor 6. The rotating block 7 connects to the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 6 via the guide plates 8 and the inclined plate 12. When the drive end of the chain conveyor 6 operates, the rotating block 7 rotates synchronously via the belt drive 71. When the placement slot of the rotating block 7 connects to the inclined plate 12, the component is guided into the placement slot by the slope of the inclined plate. As the rotating block continues to rotate until it connects to the guide plate 8, the component falls between the chain plates of the chain conveyor 6 under the guidance of the guide plate, thus achieving intermittent transfer of components and preliminary control of spacing.

[0022] like Figure 3 and 4 The chain plate of the chain conveyor 6 is divided into a long plate 61 and short plates 62 located on both sides of the long plate 61. There is a gap between the short plates 62 and the long plate 61. Two sets of guide strips 10 that are matched with the gap are fixed at the inner tail end of the chain conveyor 6. When the component is moved to the tail end, it can be guided by the guide strips. A pre-block component 9 is also installed at the top of the tail end of the chain conveyor 6 to further adjust the output spacing of the components and prevent stacking.

[0023] Furthermore, the pre-blocking assembly 9 includes a stepped frame 91 fixed to the top of the tail end of the chain conveyor 6. The stepped frame 91 is divided into an upper step plate and a lower step plate. A lower-push cylinder 92 is installed on the outward side of both the upper and lower step plates. The piston rod of the lower-push cylinder 92 is fixed to a pre-blocking plate 93 located above the guide bar 10. The two sets of pre-blocking plates 93 are spaced a certain distance apart. By controlling the alternating extension and retraction of the upper and lower sets of lower-push cylinders 92, the pre-blocking plates 93 can alternately block or release components, thereby adjusting the spacing of the components output from the tail end of the chain conveyor 6 and avoiding the tight connection of adjacent components that would prevent subsequent equipment from grabbing them.

[0024] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0025] Metal components to be conveyed are placed on the belt conveyor. Side guards on both sides provide lateral protection to prevent components from falling during transport. The height and spacing of the guards can be flexibly adapted to the component size via adjustable components. Loosening the bolts of the lower locking block adjusts the height of the vertical rod, thus changing the guard height. Loosening the bolts of the upper locking block adjusts the extension length of the horizontal rod, allowing for adjustment of the guard spacing. When the component is conveyed to the end of the belt, the side guard limits its end position, ensuring it remains at the designated push position, preparing for subsequent transfer. Once the component is in the designated position, the push cylinder at the right end of the belt conveyor activates its extension and retraction action, smoothly pushing the component towards the inclined plate on the left. Compared to mechanical structures, the push cylinder can more precisely control the pushing force and frequency, preventing component damage or displacement. Guided by the inclined slope of the inclined plate, the component moves towards the material distribution component. At this point, the drive end of the chain conveyor begins operation, synchronously driving the rotating parts on the base frame via the belt drive. As the block rotates, when the placement slot on the block aligns with the inclined plate, the component slides into the placement slot to complete the receiving process. The block continues to rotate until the placement slot aligns with the guide plate at the beginning of the chain conveyor. Guided by the guide plate, the component accurately falls between the chain plates of the chain conveyor. Utilizing the intermittent rotation characteristics of the block, components are transferred one by one from the belt conveyor to the chain conveyor, while simultaneously achieving initial spacing control. The component continues to be transported on the chain conveyor. The chain plate adopts a structure combining long plates and short plates on both sides. The gap between the short and long plates, combined with the guide strip at the inner tail end, provides precise guidance for the component. When the component approaches the tail end, the pre-block component initiates secondary spacing adjustment. The lower cylinders of the upper and lower steps of the stepped frame alternately extend and retract, causing the pre-block plates to alternately block or release the component. Due to the spacing between the two sets of pre-block plates, the output interval between adjacent components can be effectively widened through the timing control of the cylinder actions, completely avoiding stacking problems and ultimately ensuring that the component is stably output to the subsequent process at the set spacing.
