Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor belt technology, specifically a contactless interference conveyor belt machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the automated production of flexible materials such as yarn and fabric, finished products are typically stored in wound form on rolls. To connect different processes, fully wound rolls need to be transferred from the winding station to a conveyor to transport them to the next station. Currently, this operation is generally completed automatically by mechanical grippers.
[0003] If the grippers directly contact the surface of the silk or fabric, it can easily cause scratches, indentations, or even damage to the material. Therefore, the grippers are usually forced to grip one end of the roll, that is, the area outside the roll's axial direction that is not covered by the fabric. This gripping method causes the gripper's force point to be far from the roll's center of gravity, creating a larger torque. To ensure stable gripping and withstand the resulting bending stress, the gripper structure must have sufficient strength and holding force, resulting in a significant increase in its size and weight; the diameter of the grippers will be larger than the diameter of a fully wound roll.
[0004] When the grippers place the roll onto the conveyor, due to the large size of the grippers themselves, interference or collision often occurs between the grippers and the conveyor surface before the roll. This interference can not only damage the grippers or the conveying equipment, but also prevent the roll from being placed smoothly and accurately in the predetermined position, affecting the continuity of the conveying and the positioning accuracy, and even causing production failures such as roll tipping over or material loosening.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology and design a new type of roll gripping and placement mechanism to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the technical problems in the background art, this utility model discloses a contactless interference drum conveyor.
[0007] This utility model provides a contactless interference drum conveyor, including a chain with multiple evenly distributed, upwardly protruding support parts installed on the chain; The support structure includes two symmetrically arranged, spaced-apart support columns; The length of the support column is perpendicular to the direction of chain movement; The drum is placed at the upper end of the support and is located between the two support columns of the support. The grippers that hold the drum are located in the outer area of the support column.
[0008] Furthermore, the part of the support column that contacts the drum is arc-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, the support section also includes a support plate that is fixedly connected to some links of the chain; The upper end of the support plate is higher than the chain and is fixedly connected to the support column.
[0010] Furthermore, the support plate is L-shaped and consists of a vertically extending vertical portion and a horizontally extending horizontal portion; The vertical part is fixedly connected to the chain links; The horizontal section is fixedly connected to the support column.
[0011] Furthermore, the vertical part is fixedly connected to the outer side of the chain link.
[0012] Furthermore, the horizontal section extends away from the chain.
[0013] Furthermore, in the vertical projection, the horizontal portion is covered by the supporting columns.
[0014] Furthermore, the support column is provided with countersunk holes; The bolt passes through the countersunk hole and connects to the threaded part of the horizontal section.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The support unit increases the height of the drum on the conveyor, thereby increasing the distance between the gripper and the conveyor. With the gripper located on the outer side of the support column, when the drum is placed on the support unit, there is a distance between the gripper and the support unit and the conveyor. This completely eliminates the risk of collision or scratching with the conveyor surface before the drum due to the gripper being larger than the drum in the traditional method.
[0016] 2. The drum is supported between two support columns, forming a "saddle-like" positioning effect. This not only improves the stability during placement, preventing the drum from rolling or tipping over upon lowering, but also helps maintain the axial position of the drum during transport, improving positioning accuracy. The support columns are arranged perpendicular to the direction of chain movement, providing good support span for the drum and ensuring the continuity and reliability of transport.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a contactless interference drum conveyor, which includes two symmetrically arranged chains 1, and multiple support parts connected between the chains 1.
[0021] The support section includes two symmetrically arranged, horizontally spaced support columns 2, which are connected to the chain 1 via a support plate 5. The length direction of the support column 2 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the chain 1. The drum 3 is placed at the upper end of the support section and located between the two support columns 2. The gripper 4 that holds the drum 3 is located in the outer area of the support column 2.
[0022] The part where the support column 2 contacts the drum 3 is arc-shaped, thus forming a surface contact that will not scratch the silk or fabric.
[0023] The specific installation structure of the support column 2 is as follows: The support plate 5 is L-shaped, consisting of a vertically extending vertical part 51 and a horizontally extending horizontal part 52, with the horizontal part 52 connected to the upper end of the vertical part 51. The vertical part 51 is fixedly connected to the chain link of the chain 1; for ease of operation, the vertical part 51 is installed on the outer side of the chain link. The horizontal part 52 protrudes upward from the chain 1 and is fixedly connected to the support column 2. The support column 2 has through countersunk holes 21 at both ends; bolts pass through the countersunk holes 21 and are threadedly connected to the horizontal part 52, thus achieving a fixed connection between the support column 2 and the support plate 5, and also facilitating assembly and disassembly.
[0024] The horizontal part 52 extends away from the chain 1, so that when the support column 2 is connected to the horizontal part 52, the operating space is larger and it will not be blocked by the chain 1.
[0025] In the vertical projection, the horizontal part 52 is covered by the support column 2, so that the horizontal part 52 will not protrude from the support column 2 on both sides, and will not collide with the gripper 4.
[0026] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this embodiment are: 1. The support structure increases the height of the drum 3 on the conveyor, thereby increasing the distance between the gripper 4 and the conveyor. With the gripper 4 located on the outer side of the support column 2, when the drum 3 is placed on the support, there is a gap between the gripper 4 and both the support and the conveyor, completely eliminating the risk of collision or scraping with the conveyor surface before the drum 3, which is common in traditional methods due to the gripper 4 being larger than the drum 3. 2. The drum 3 is supported between the two support columns 2, forming a "saddle-like" positioning effect. This not only improves the stability of the placement process and prevents the drum 3 from rolling or tipping over upon lowering, but also helps maintain the axial position of the drum 3 during conveying, improving positioning accuracy. The support columns 2 are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the movement of the chain 1, providing good support span for the drum 3 and ensuring the continuity and reliability of the conveying process.
[0027] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
